ROMANCE CT JOHN KINNEY.

It was an odd name for Newspaper
the Sangamon BOy-but its career was
so fun of oddities that nobody minded
that. The easy going country folk Of the
Lower Corners said IL was a good paper.
Anyhow. like the good BOY. it died young.
Its editor-there was a man who never
was duplicated IN or out Of the newspaper
business.
That fellow was queer one" said old
Eph Edwards. but he was smarter n
chain lightnin'. Did We ever read about
IchabOd Cranes I've forgot who it's by,
but this Josh Kinney was a good deal ike

Josh Kinney was farm hand by day
and an editor By night. Somebody said
his nerves were made OF iron. He rested
his brain By busying his body. and rested
his body by busying his brain. The eyes
that were set far back under shaggy
bTows never lost their keenness in the
shadows Of his protruding brow.
His office was even odder than the
man. To see It one could almost guess
what manner ow man was its presiding
genius. II is standing today-a plain,
square cabin on the very crown Of des-

town.

Coming from anybody else this hint
might have invited trouble, but respect
for Josh Kinney's iron muscles and his
teeming brain brought it only silent ODE
dience.
Lower Corners, which, by the way. Is
not a village but a farming community,
made sport OF Josh when he first came
and started his newspaper. That was
before they knew anything about the big
brain that dominated his angular body.
In Lower Corners today there are men
of families who were boys ten years ago
big, lusty, mischievous boys who loved
a fish fry in the summer and a bob-sled
ride when the snow was knee-deep on the
Rochester road. OF course they remem-
Der the night when a dozen Of them,
playing the gallant to as many country
girls with rudy cheeks. rode past Kin
news little office and bombarded the door
with snowballs.
Kinney never forgot it, because the
crash Of those snowballs sent shock TO
his heart that changed the current OF his
life All night long ne had heard nothing
but the mOnotonous beating of the little
press which his foot kept in motion. How
prOsaic it was against the rollicking jim
gle of the sleigh bells, how harsh against
the musical laughter of the girls in the
sled. And what strange thrill went
through him Is he heard one OF these
cry out: Please don't throw any more,
boys. you oughtnt to disturb Mr. Kin
ney when he's busy. Please don't"
And is there really somebody who
cares enough about me to think OF
that?' he asked himself. Am I doing
right to shut myself up here when 1
might be out with those boys and girls?
I wonder whose voice that was 1t sound
ed like-but what reason have 1 to think
that?"
Maybe he didn't have any reason TO
think it. but vague, tender hope rose
above reason. 'Mary'-what a pretty
name It was, he thought. Mary Man
So timid was this big,

ey-it kept ringing in his spiritual ear
Ike the melody of a favorite song. When

awake until far into the morning, and
then wove themselves into the fabric of
his dreams.
