Strengthening up to rest his back "a
SPELL" saw two men approaching along
the path that followed the field fence.
He watched them for little while IN
silence, then exclaimed:
"Waal, I'll be dad burned!'
Mrs. Turner looked up in surprise.
"What's the matter. Jonathan" she
asked.
"Thar's two fellers a-comin down
thar" he answered. IAN I'll be switched
If one Of 'em amt Sam Morgan"
Mrs. Turner arose and looked also.
"Waal. I'd say't" she exclaimed.
"Wonder what in the world them men
are a-comin yere for? But mebbe they
amt a-comin yere. Mebby they're
jest a-passin."
They're a-comin yere." Jonathan
said emphatically.
LA! What you reckon they're a-com-
in for. then?"

"Tildy, If it amt that what can it be,
I'd like for you to tell meT'

seem possible no sich good forum as

Sam and Jason rode up to the yard
fence and stopped. Turner, in a state
of wild excitement, hurried out to meet
them.

"Not this time, Mr.. Turner"
Jonathan's face fell. Sans words
were a cruel disappointment. disap-
pointment that can be fully appreciat-

fondest hope Of his life suddenly blot

Though Turner felt his disappoint-
ment keenly. he did not allow it to get
the better Of his curiosity. With a
sigh of resignation he said:
WAL, trials an tribulations will
come to us all in this life, so thar amt
no use a-grievin. But If you amt come

I can't figger out what you did come

replied.
All thoughts Of the jury and the lost
glory Of "settin on to" it passed from
Turner like fash.
