over his features; then he commenced, ex-

to tear out the masses of crumpled paper

Of the girl as they sat talking, who was
that cityfied chap l seen with your paw
this afternoon"
'Oh. he's from New York, says he's
cousin of George Story's, the cashier of
the First National Bank up to town. He
came here right after dinner today and
told paw he wanted to buy a farm: so,
paw took him over to show him that piece
down beyond the big meadow"
"On Sunday" calculated the sheriff in
amazement. Then he commenced to laugh.
What would the good brothers over at
Mt Sinai think Of that?"
Il say sO too" responded Mabel, tossing
her blonde curls. Course, the man said
he had to be getting back home tomor-

with many lingering farewells he took his
departure.
An hour or so later old Simon came home
and announced that he was ready for the
evening meal. He had hurried in once be-
fore. shortly after Dehus had left. and
Mabel had heard him turning over some
papers In his desk; but he had almost i'm
mediately hastened away again, without
giving any explanation of his errand to the
girl.
Now. as he came up on the porch, she
noticed that he carried a small tin box
under his arm, and, had she observed him
more closely. she would have discerned an
undue elation In his manner, a greedy
sparkle in his deep-set eyes, suppressed
excitement In his whole bearing.
He seemed to be afraid to trust the box

old mans daughter with him. "MabeI -

Turning her head she smiled trustinp,y

A second later Dehus had leaped beside
her. A sharp cut OF the whip, a shake ~

they had become as cool and steady as

'Whatd they git?"

full stress upon each separate word: "Sey-

Simon paid no heed to the interruption.
I'VE had some arguin' bout the way the

few months ago there was lack OF
some tenths of inches in the girth of the
forearm and the depth Of the chest: other
measurements were not quite up to the
standard, but by intelligent and systematic
exercise they have been brought to the
desired form. A point to note in the fore
going table is that the breadth of the
shoulders exceeds that of the hips, which
is rather unusual, but always desirable.
The depth of the abdomen should be less
than that of the chest, in the perfect fig
