CHAPTER II.

THE BLACKSMITH AND THE PICTURE.
- N road leading from the city
of Perm toward the forest on
~ the south there stood a rude
cluster of buildings, all of
them old and in poor state Of repair.
This collection of huts was the home
and forge Of the Paulpoffs, ironwork-
ers. ~.
Here worked old Michael Paulpoff
and his son Vladimir, and it had been
to this uninviting place that Frances
Gordon had come to make the chance
acquaintance of the young giant.
The huts and the surroundings were
rapidly growing even less inviting, for
nothing was being done now to keep
anything in repair.
A collection Of household goods, over
which old Mamma Paulpoff watched
carefully, gave evidence that the fam
lily were about to remove themselves
and their belongings to another place.
But still the old man and the young
one were at work. The blows that
Vladimir struck were tremendous. The
iron under MS manner Oent ana nat

was gay laugh on his handsome face

THIS FARMER WON OUT
Stood Pat and Bluffed Lightning
Rod Sharks.

lola, Kan, Aug. 6-Edward Swenson,
farmer in Allen county, had a bout
with a lightning rod outfit the other
day in which the farmer ultimately
didn't come out second best. Swenson
recently built a fine large barn and
painted it red. 1t was the finest barn
in that section. A lightning rod agent
heard of it. He wanted to advertise his
goods, SO he told Swenson that he would
wire and rod the barn for 1850 provid-
ing Swenson would tell the farmers in
that vicinity who did the work. Sven
son agreed and signed up a contract.
few days later force of men came
on and put up the lightning rods and
presented a bill for $780, Swenson said
the contract price was $3.50. They
sprung the contract on him and sure
enough he had signed up for $3.50. He
did not read the contract when he sign-
ed it. He notified the lightning rod
men that he would pay them exactly
what he oromised-$7.50 and no more.
They insisted getting the $3.50. Things
were becoming rather warm about that
time. Swenson sent his boy over in a
field to notify a threshing outfit that
they were wanted at the new barn at
once to attend a necktie party The
boy explained the trouble The thresh-
ers stopped the machine and started for
the barn in body. The lightning rod
men saw them coming, took Swenson's
$3.50 and left. Swensons new barn is
literally covered with lightning rods and
they only cost him $780,
