SYNOPSIS.

Story opens December 81, 1856, at
NIason's Corner, near Boston, Mass,
introducing the reader to the queer
country people of that place and or
Marlborough Center and West East
borough, both nearby. Quincy Adams
Sawyer, a young lawyer, from Boston,
is staying at Deacon Abraham Ma
sons for an indefinite time, and by
his courtesy to the deacon's daughter.
sHulda. and the other young women he
sincurs the hatred of Obediah Strout,
the singing master, and Ezekiel Pet
tingill, young farmer who loves Hull
dy. Strouts eninity grows from day
to day, but Quincy has q firm friend
in Hiram, the man of all work at
Deacon Mason's. Quincy visits Uncle
Ike Pettingill, a retired Boston bust
ness man and an eccentric half her
init, who is also the uncle of Ezekiel
Pettingill. To him Quincy bears a
letter from his father, the Hon. Ma
thaniel Sawyer of Boston, who is an
old friend, Uncle Ike Quincy grows to
like the old man despite his eccentri-
cities. Strout fails in an effort to en-
list Ezekiel on his side in his wal
against Quincy. He gets Bob Wood
the village bully, to insult Quincy, who
promptly thrashes Wood and offers tt
whip Strout.

SO you can't blame me for anything
that may happen. | shall commence
on your right eye.
Woods face grew liyid: he made
rush at Quincy as though he would
fall on him and crush him. Quincy cas-
lily eluded him. and when Wood made
his second rush at him he parted a,
mght-hander, and before Wood could
recover, he struck him square blow
full on his right eye. They faced each
other again.
Now, Mr. Wood" said Quincy, IL
see you have watch in your vest
pocket. Is it an open-faced watch?D
"S'posin' you find out" said Wood,
glaring at Quincy with his left eye, his
right one being closed up.
| well, then" remarked Quincy, you
will be obliged to have it repaired, for
am going to hit you just where that
watch is and it may injure it,"
| Wood was more wary this time and
Wood a left-hander in the,region of the
heart which staggered him.
They faced each other for the third
time.
I II regret the necessity this time. but
l will be obliged to strike YOU full in
the face and in my excitement may hit
your nose"
1t required all of Quincy's dexterity
to avoid the wild rushes and savage
thrusts made by Wood, But Quincy
4 understood every one Of the boxers
secrets and was as light and agile on
his feet as a cat. 1t was three min.
utes at least before Quincy got the de.
sired opening, and then he landed a
4 blow on Woods nose that sent him
fiat upon his back.
"That's enough" cried the crowd
and several friends led Wood to a seal
on the platform.
Quincy turned to .Strout. "Now,Mr
Strout, am at your service
mo, sir" said Strout Il am willing
to fight gentleman, but | don't figh
with no professional prize fighter like
YOU" Turning to the crowd; Il know
all about this fellow. He is no law
