thought that II | ever had tn rhysssbi

I'll l3in you.
A week siterwsrd me and Mack HIS this
smsl town Of Pms, about thirty miles cut
from Denver, and II ids an elegant tive
room house that ilst suits us. We depos-
lad half-i.peek Of money in the P.ns bark
aud shook hands with every one Of the $40
ciuzsns 10 the town. We brought along
the CLlnsmsn aud the cockoo clock and
Buckle ard the Instructor with US from
Denver and they made the cabin seem like
home AT once.
Never believe 1t when they tell you that
riches don't bring hsppiness. lfyou could
have seen old Mack sitting 10 bis rocking
chair with his blue-yarn sock feet up in the
window soaking In that Buckle stuff
through his specs you'd have seen picture
OF content that would have msde Roek,fel-
Ter alous, And was learning to pick out
"0ld Up Coon" on the bs +, aud the
coekoo was on time with has iemaiss, ard
All Sirg was messing up The atmosphere
with the handf omest smell of ham and eggs
that ever laid the honeysucklt In the shade.
When II got too dark TO make out Buckles
nonetense and the notes la he Instructor,
me and Mack would light our pipes aud
talk about science ard pearl diving and
sciatics and Egypt and spelling and fish
and trade winds and leather and gratitude
and eagles, and lot Of subjects that we'd
never had time TO explain our sentiments
about before. One evening Mack spoke up
and asked me II ! was much spprised in the
habits and policies Of women folks.
Why, yes, Gays !, In a tone Of voice,
know I'm from Alfred to Omaha. The fem
inine nature and simililude, says |, Is as
pain to my sight rs the Rocky Mountains
ia TO blue-ey ed burro. I'm onto all their
little sldt-steps ard punctual discrepan-
cies.

Of sigh, lever had the least amount of
intersection with their predispositions.
Maybe might have had proneness in res
pect to th IL vicinity, but never took the
time. made nv own living since ! was
and never seemed to get my
rali, oi a,ions equipped With the sentiments
usually depicted toward the sect. some.
Zines wish had. says old Mack.
They're an adverse study, says !, ard
sdapted to points Of view. Although they
vary IN rationale, have found 'em quite
often obviously differing frtm each other
In diveIgences Of contrast.
IL seems 10 me, goes on Mack, that's man
had better take 'em 10 and secure bis H.
apirslions Of the sect when he's Young and
30 preordaintd. let my chance 20 by
and gu-ts I'm too old TO 20 hopping into

Oh, done know, | tells Lin. Maybe
YOU better credit yourself with blrrel Of

quantity Of uncontent. SilI, don't regret
