right hand and grasped young

that was all he could do.
Dick came swinging along about
the time the last bee had settled
down. and he stopped short with z
look Of amazement- Then the look
changed to a grin, and he sat down on
the frame OF the grindstOne, crossed
his legs and said:
Dad, wouldn't be in your place
for three of the best cows in Hills
dale county,"
Dick, I'm a dead mani" replied
the father in q hOarse whisper.
You surely are. You amt goin' to
die Of a broken heart because 1 marry
the wilder Lapham, but because
about 100000 bees are goin' to jab
their singers into you at the same
time. You'll feel wuss'n that peddler

must git one O. them new hives and
put some fresh honey around it and
try to coax them bees on. They may

For heavens sake, but what has
the wilder Lapham got to do with

A good many things had happened
before the bees swarmed back Of the
house on that June day.
Dick Scott, son Of the hard-headed
and hard-hearted old Farmer Scott
had fallen in love with the widow
Lapham months before He was
barely q years Of age, and working
tor his father as a hired hand, while
she was 80 and owned the next farm
on the east.
It was easy to get up an argument
On their respective ages, showing
that the disparity was too great and
on the wrong side, and the father
used il for all it was worth
Farmer Scott had called upon the
widz1 and charged her with seeking
to trap his guilelese son, and had
been promptly turned oGJ SGHrs. The
neighbOrs had mixed in after that,
and the affair was the leading subject
Of conversation for FIVE miles around.
Dick Scott was no taIker, but he
was a good hand to think He was
very much in love. and he was as de-
termined to marry that widow as he
was to live, but he couldn't stand up
against the arguments Of his father
nor witness the tears Of his mother,
so he kept quiet and waited for an
earthquake, cyclone or some other
dispensation Of Providence to help
him out.
Whenever they were working in
the fields together the father would
look at the sky with a squint, take a
farewell glance around the farm, and
then sOIemnIy remark:
Dick, it seems awful that I've got
to die in my prime and leave all this,
especially before them young pear
trees begin to bear, but I'll have to
do it'll have to DO it.
What's the use 90 dyin'?" Dick
would ask, knowing that he must say
something.
q don't want to, but I've got to-
Can't live a week after you've went
and married to the wilder Lapham.
The idea that my only son has gone
and married his grandmother, and a
women with feet like an elephant at
that, would break my heart and send
me to my grave"
Didn't you marry who you want
ed to when you married MAJ"
THAT was different. In them days
women didn't set traps for young
men, and widders wasn't schemin'
day and night Dick, sol durn ye,
what dye want to make a hyena Of
yourself fur and send my gray hairs
down to the grave in sOTrer?"
Dick would change the subject or
refuse to talk back any further, and,
after muttering to himself for half
an hour longer, the father would get
tired out.
On this June day, however, when
the two were repairing the rail fence
between the corn and the potato
field, and all nature was reveling in
the baImy sunshine, the usual discus
sion opened with a different prelim-
mary and became red hot at once.
A peddler came down into the field
to see if he couldn't make a sale Of
q pocket knife or a pair Of suspend
ers, and he had a little joke to get
OF about the widow Lapham wearing
the trousers after marriage.
He was still grinning when Dick
Knocked him into the thistle patch
and seemed sorry that there was not
more Of him.
