Fpiied one of tLy Ills. with d giggle,
thile Joe Albright led the baw-haw-
ng among the yOung men.
Yes. she may be, said Abner as he
looked around, with dangerous CLEAN
in his eyes. but viii Joe Albright,
Tom Smart and William Hall step out
doors with me for Il nlomentf'
They followed him out, wondering
what was up. but they were not long
left i'll doubt. He turned upon them
and gave the whole three a beautiful
drubbing before they hardly knew that
a fight was on. Then he called out
Uncle Danforth, old bachelor, both of
whom had been turned down, and,
shaking his fist under their noses, he
said:
Mind you, this talk about Miss Lee
has got to stop. The next man who
even sneers at her has got to settle for
it with me-"
That didn't complete his work, how
ever lie entered the house and said
to the women:
a pretty pack of wolves you arei
You are gOssiping about a woman
whose shoes you are not fit TO tie. It's
gossip, SANDER and lies, and every
one of you knows it, and l tell you
I'll not stand any more of it. l can't
roll you in the snowdrifts, because you
are women, but l can and will hold
your men folks responsible"
Half an hour later he was inquiring
at Taylor's if Miss Lee was there, and
again he stopped at Riker's. But he
did not find her until he drove up to
the schOOlhouse. She sat there alone
with her things on, and the open
stove door was her candle. She had
felt too weak and discouraged to face
the storm, and didn't much care
whether any one came for her or not
Miss Lee, I've come to take you
home for the night" said Abner, as
he entered the building.
But why do you come?' she asked
in surprise.
Because l have constituted myself
your champion. There won't be any
more gossip. I'm ashamed of the peo-
pie, but you'll see a change tomor-
row."
''Wh-what have you done?' she
asked between her sobs
Licked three or four men, prom
Used to lick three or four more and
told dozen women what l thought
about them" he laconically replied.
But you'll-yOu'lr'-
ASK you to marry me? No, l won't
IN be hanged if l do! Come along
with me, and we'll pick up Sister
Sarah at Saunders"
And you won't-wont''-
Talk love? Not a word. l know
you are ready to throw up the school
and go back home, but don't give up.
I've got my fists toughened up and
want to use 'em often
And when the summer days came
and she closed her school with kind I
words from all she grasped the hand
of Abner JOY and said:
"Abner, | have met a man down here
Just one-and l hate to say goodby
to him"
"Then why don't you come back and
let him do some more fighting for
you?" he asked.
II guess l will, if you-you want
me to-" she replied as she drove away,
and three months later she did

FOR THE MIGHT" SAID ABNER.
conceal her feelings, but in the coun-
try she attends quilting bee on pur-
pose to speak her mind. If the wild
overs, bachelors and young men had
stood aloof there would have been no
gossip or hard feelings, but that was
just what they wouldn't do. They ad-
mired, praised and pestered, and,
though not encouraged in the slight
est by the little schoolma'a am, they got
her into peck of trouble.
The thing may be said to have start
ed with Uncle Ben briggs, chairman
of the school committee He was
widower, sixty years old, and had been
,Jurting the Widow Hastings, five
years his Junior, but what does he do
hut offer the schoOlma'am his cal
lOused hand and aged heart before
she had hardly got the school organ
lied.
She promptly refused him, but the
Widow Hastings was her enemy from
that time on, and Uncle Ben heard
her gossiped about without coming to
her defense. In the course of six
weeks Miss Lee had turned down an
other widOwer and two young men
and thus made more enemies Several
engagements We're in danger of being
broken because Jim, Joe or John
would insist that the teacher was the
daisiest daisy that ever called up
class i'll geography. The girl knew
that Shp nj no
ing slurred and slandered, but as it
was not her fault and she had no
remedy she maintained silence. This
subjected her to criticism again. AS
Hannah Jones remarked at Mrs. Doc
Titles quilting bee:
If she isn't trying her best to cap
ture a man of some sort, why don't
she come right out and say she wouldn't
marry the best one that ever wore
boots, same as l do? l tell you she is
sly and deceitful, and she'll separate
Inore'n one lovin' couple before she
gets through with it,
Before New Years came there was
only one marriageable man for four
miles around who hadn't offered him
self at least once. That was Abner
JOY, man of thirty, who had a farm
of his own and a sister for a house
keeper. He had admired. but so Sc
cretly and modestly that Miss Lee had
not suspected. He looked upon her as
a superior being who could not be ap-
preached by such as he.
No one miStrusted his feelings until
one evening when there was a pairing
bee at Uncle David Saunders. The
gathering included over forty people,
Lees week to board at the Saunders
house, she ought to have been there.
She was not, however, and, though the
night had come on with q storm, no
body worried about the schoolma'am,
not even Abner. When he failed to
find her there he argued that she had
stopped at nearer place. In the gath
ering were several girls and women
with spiteful tongues and several
young and old men who wanted to
get even," and so after an hour or
two, when Miss Lees name came up,
innuendo was busy in q moment. 1t
was noticed that Abner Joy turned red
and white and hitched uneasily, but it
was quite ten minutes before he stood
up and said:
II see that Miss Lee is not present
here this evening. Does any one know
whyY'
"She's probably hunting for a man."
