HOZz4ES'

Young Johan could see his future
fabric. He did not need to worry over
a choice of calling, as SO many other
young men have to do, or the best way
of earning his living. There were no
jong years of study before him His
comfortable living was growing and
ripening in the fields of Holjeryd and
mooing from sheer well-being in MS
fathers barn. There would be moth
ing for him to do but SOW and reap at
the right times, according to the cal
endar Everything he might need was
ready and waiting for him, even
wife, whom his father had picked out
for him.
Adjoining Holjeryd was another
large property, Runeryd. The owner
of it had an only child, daughter.
Now, if Johan and Clara were to be
united in marriage, nothing more de-
sirable could be imagined, tor then
both properties would be in the same
hands and the owner would be man
of power. The two old men had agreed
that this was to be the future of their
children, and Johan and Clara them
selves thought the arrangement fit and
proper.
At the outskirts of Runeryd lived an
old soldier by the name Of Klang, on
a small and stony farm. The old man
was fine looking fellow at the church
on Sundays, when he wore his two
medals. One of them he had received
for skill in craftsmanship, and the
other for industry in cultivating his
farm.
One day Johan's mother was taken
seriously ill, and it was necessary to
hire help. Thus it happened that old
man Klang's eldest daughter came to
Holjeryd. Minna was fine girl, but
with all her loveliness she was moth
ing but poor soldiers daughter. No
one felt any anxiety on account of
Minna.
But Minna had not been in Holjeryd
many days before Johan began to fol-
low her with his eyes wherever she
went. He thought she was different
from Clara--soft and graceful, clear
eyed and slender. Wherever Minna
stood or sat, Johan thought she fitted
her place excellently. He soon began
to wish Clara, her property and his
own, at the ends of the earth. No
freehold in Christendom was worth a
small farm with Minna on it.
When she had been in Holjeryd a
fortnight Johan was over his ears in
love with her and she with him. 1t
could no longer be concealed. Even
Johan's father understood the state
of affairs, but he only laughed.
There is good stuff in the boy" he
said, as if proud of his sons success.

The father opened his eyes in amaze
ment. What is this nonsense? What

beggar's daughter will have a chance
to come between me and my plans.
You understand?
But things went from bad to worse.
One day Johan declared that he had
decided to go to America, and leave
parents and home forever. if he could
not marry Minna any other way. Then
the old man became serious, and un-
derstood that something must be done
to save the alliance scheme and cure
Johan of his lovesickhess.
Minna would have to- go; but the old
man realized that the dismissal of the
girl would not be sufficient in Johan's
case. The evening before she went he
took the opportunity to carry out a
scheme. While Minna and Johan
were out in the garden somewhere. the
old man ripped up piece of the fac
ing of her Sunday skirt, pushed a fifty
crown bill between the lining and the
woolen stuff, and carefully sewed the
opening together.
Minna had been gone several days.

Animal Had Taken Various Snacks

Buchanan's goat is getting to be a
terror in that end of town. Besides
drinking beer and doing the tight rope
act, he has an appetite worse than
that of an ostrich. He invaded a
neighbor's back yard yesterday and
was in the act of crawling outside a
sack OF potatoes when the landlady
discovered the situation and sent the
hired girl after him. A little later he
became suddenly indisposed. A local
veterinarian was called and applied
the X-ray to the goats stomach which
happened to contain among other mat
ters one apple pie, two pairs of par
lor slippers, four copies of the Pros
pector, one War Cry, nine subpoenas,
three bench warrants for John Doe,
one package smoking tobacco, one
ward linoleum, one box of tacks, one
bisque doll and other articles too num-
erous to admit of inventory. He may
recover. It was the pie that knocked
him out.-Tombstone Prospector.

Flo Jardine had her hand on the

her flance's room unannOunced, as
was her wont, had not the sound of
her own name, uttered in loud tones

ping. Certainly not! But where was
she to go?. There was no place but
the seat opposite the Office door, and
the conversation would reach her
there. Well, she would close her ears

How long the p1otters remained on
their knees at the cross roads no one
knows, but there was no more talk
OF going to the Klangs'.
Late in the evening Johan's father
came tottering home, pale and grave,
and asked for hymn book, in which
he read diligently. When he could no
longer see to read he sat silent for a
while. Then he called Johan.
Hitch up, and drive to the Klangs',
and fetch Minna as fast as you can"
he said.
What is the matter, father? You
aren't going to do her any harm?"
mo, am going to give her to you.
It is no use to strive against Provi-
dence," muttered the old man, trem-
bling.
Since then many an automobile has
passed through the village, but, never
theless, the banns of Johan and Minna
were read the next Sunday. The
owners of Holjeryd and Runeryd pre-
tend that they have not been fooled.
They are probably too proud to let it
be known that it was an automobile
which frustrated their plans.-New
