KISS He puffed noisily upon his black pipe,
sending the smoke upward In dense
clouds. His name was John, and he
claimed to be an Irish American but,
while he had lost much OF his brogue,
he still retained all the loquacity Of his
first ancestors sss
Mr.. Goddard comes from one of the
Oldest families Of this country, an old
DR.. Stetson God bless him, he was
good man in his day wasn't "a bit
behind the Goddards. I've often heerd
the old folks rguin' about their an
cestors. The DOCTOR always said he
came over in the Mayhower. 81 don't
know much about the Maydower, ex-
B cept what I've 3heerd the old doctor say.
but she must have been pretty fine
ship. She brought the doctor over no,
the doctors grandfather or great
grandfather, II don't just remember
@Which-an' he always said that was
enough glory for any man. But old
Mr.. Goddard would rile the doctor by
sayin' that he thought bein' gentle
man Of France under King Louis was
greater honor an that his ancestors
descended direct from kings an en-
perors. They couldn't agree noway,
an they just made up long enough to
pick a new quarrel. I've heerd tell
how they'd talk peaceful-like about
the politics Of the country till they got
to gbin' about ancestors, an then in
five minutes they'd be shakin' their
sticks in each Others faces an calm
one another liars. s.8
"But this didn't seem to make no
difference with their children. They
Jest played together like brothers an
sisters. When they was no bigger'n
up to my knee they'd talk about loyin'
one another an about gettin' married.
The old doctor and Mr.. Goddard
laughed at this an forgot to quarrel
sometimes about their ancestors Jest
to see the little ones maxim love.
"They seemed to be born fur each
other, an everybody said they'd get
married some day. But when Mr.. God
dard died somebody said his son had
inherited his disease an that he wasn't
long fur this world. Nobody seemed to
know jest what the disease was, but
they said it was incurable an some
thing not to be spoken lightly Of.
"But about that disease OF Mr..
Charles Goddard amt SO sure. Old
DR.. Stetson was quite riled about 1t,
an he said he wouldn't let his daugtl-
ter marry any man that had it in his
system. Mr. Charles got angry an
went away. He was gone for five
years, an folks hereabouts said the
match was broken off. It did look that
way fur time. r.
"But when the doctor died Mr..
Charles turned up ag'm an lived in the
old house jest as If nothin' had ever
happened. He made up with the doc
tors daughter, an they've been comm
an goin' together ever since. There
was hopes for q time that they'd make
a match after all. But there amt no
tellin' jest what may happen. He nev-
er seemed to be quite the same after
comm home. He was pale an quiet
like, jest as il. that disease was AIDE
vel0pin' an takin' hold Of him. s
"He brought doctor back with him
to look after his health. He'd met the
man somewhere when he was raVelln'
in Paris, think n this fellow jest
watches Mr.. Charles all the time. He
lives over there in that old brown
house. It's haunted, people round here
say, an spirits come an go every
night. But young DR.. Squires don't
mind that. He laughs at spirits an
says he amt afraid Of 'em. Besides,
he likes such place, fur then people
won't be botherin' him In his stud
les. He don't like to have folks rum
MIN after him. He's been study Mr..
Charles disease an is Writin' a book
that will astonish the world. Then
he always said he was poor an
couldn't afford to rent good house,
lie got that house fur nothin', an I
guess Mr.. Charles pays him wei
enough to live without starvir'.
II amt maxim no criticism of DR..
Squires, fur he's a smart man an does
Mr.. Charles plenty of good, but he
shouldn't have gone on so with Miss
Stetson. He's good lookin', an he
amt good lookin' He's too dark an
furrin lookin' to suit my tastes, but he
makes an impression on the ladies. ia
suppose they likes a man that don't
'8ck like other men. 5a
i II Il amt certain but Miss Stetson
likes him better now than she does Mr.
Charles. He's always SO polite an at
tentiye to her, an he's got an air OF
mystery bout him that seems to charm
her. Mr.. Charles amt blind to things
either. He knows which way the
wind is a-blowin, but he don't dc
