In the days Of the first settlers IN the
Chickasaw country, when Davy Crock
EFT still frequented the Big Hatchie.
"Old Man Giddins" was prosperous
citizen Of the Forked Deer settlement.
One day he started on a trip to Ar
kansas, and thenceforth for several
years Forked Deer knew him no more.
AS travel in Arkansas was danger
GUS, and as nothing was heard Of Gid
dins, he was officially declared dead
by the court, and his estate divided
among his heirs. A year or SO later.
however, he turned up, and tried to
get possession of his property again.
He was promptly seized and taken into
court.
What do you mean by coming
round here, trying to take this proper
tyr" roared the court at him.
Its my property" asserted Gid
dins. Everybody knows it's mine"
mot at ALL" replied the Judge. "I'll
admit your case seems hard one, but
1t can't be helped now. This court
has decided that you are extinctus de-
functus, which Is Latin for dead. This
court cannot err. Dead you are. II
you want any property round here you
must take another name and set to
work to earn It. Mr.. Sheriff, adjourn
this court, and we will all go and see
that wrestling match you spoke Of"

CHAPTER XVII.

II have brought a friend Of mine to
pay his respects to you, Mrs. Desmond"
said Mrs. Talbot that afternoon, as she
entered Kittens pretty drawing room in
Lowndes Square.
Kitten herself had just come in from
her solitary drive. She stood in the CEN
ter Of the room pulling off her long
gloves; she looked just little bit sad
and weary, but her whole face bright
ened when, glancing past Gertrude, her
eyes lighted upon the young man who
entered the room in her wake.
Roy" she cried joyfully, running for
ward with outstretched hands to meet
him.
"Kittenw
"Oh, how glad am to see you'll Do
you know, that l thought you had for
gotten me, and that you were never
coming to see me-!
80 you two are great friends al
readyW said Mrs. Talbot, In voice of
disappointment. "And I thought that I
was going to introduce you to a new
beauty, Sir Roy!
Mrs. Desmond and l have known
each other since we were children" ex-
planned Roy, and then he thought no
more about her, but sat down on the
sofa by Kittens side. How glad she
seemed to see him again; she who used
to snub him and laugh at him, and turn
her back upon him In the old days; how
delightful 1t was to be welcomed like
this by her.
"You are very much changed" he
said, almost involuntarily.
Yes! l suppose l am. A woman does
change, no doubt, after her marriage
and l have been to so many places, and
have seen so many new things and sc
many people abroad. think l was
very ignorant little person, Roy, wher
my dear old daddy was alive. You see
l was always a child to him, and now
am a woman. l seem to have jumped
from one to the other, to have had nc
girlhoodw and she half sighed.
He bent down and looked anxiously a
her. Kitten, are you happyW
"As happy as woman can be whc
has married a man she loves with hel
whole heart" she answered proudly ant
little defantly.
When he came back an hour later t.
her house to dine with her, as she haC
asked him to do, he found her standini
dressed In her ball dress under the ligh
of a swinging lamp upon the landing out
side the drawing room door. As he cam,
up the staircase she seemed to him ,

beauty In her soft, clouded raiment O

Lincoln the Farmer,

Matters soon reached q crisis which
drove the junior partner out into the
fields again, where he undertook all
sorts of rough farm labor. from split,
ting rails to plowing. As man-of-all
work, however, Lincoln did not prove
altogether satisfactory to his employers.
He was too fond of mounting stumps
in the field and "practicing polemics"
on the other farm hands, and there was
something uncomfortable about plow
man who read as he followed the team,
no matter how straight his burrows ran
Such practices we're irritating, if not
presumptuous, and there is we'll
known story about farmer who found
"the hired man" lying in field be-
side the road, dressed in his not too
immaculate farm clothes, with a book
instead of pitchfork in his hand.
"What are you readingP" inquired
the old gentleman.
"I'm not reading; I'm studying,
answered lincoln his wonderful eyes
still on the pages of his book.
"Studying what?"
LAW SIR"
The old man stared at the speaker
for a moment in utter amazement.
"Great-God-Almighty!" he NUT
tered as he passed on shaking his head

sleeping In Its solitude near by; and then
the stranger who came strolling up the
hill to address them, and whose persist
ent attentions to Gertrude had somewhat
mortified and annoyed her.
She half put out her hand and smiled.
The gentleman stopped at once and took
off his hat.
Surely I can't be mistaken; it is Mr..
Raikes, Is 1t notT
Edgar Raikes loked down at her oddly
for q moment; he drew himself a little
away from the brougham door. She ask
ed him whether he had been at Keeping
ton lately.
"Oh, yes, am always there" and
then he looked away for a minute, and
added rather quickly, II am poor re-
lation' Of Brian Desmonds, Miss Grant
ley, an out-at-elbows younger son Of a
cousin Of his mothers, whom he has
taken pity on. l am his bailif or agent,
or whatever you choose to call it, at KEEP

him on business. 1 suppose l ought to
have told you that before-but, one has

~ don't see anything in it to be
ashamed Of" said Felicia heartily. "A
man need never mind working for his
living II IL is in an honest way" and
she felt she liked him all the better for
his little confession.
II don't know much about work." he
answered, with smile. II am afraid
l am rather lazy up there-there isn't
much to do, you know. It's a very idle
life, fear"
| "Still, whatever there Is to be done,
I am quite sure that you do it. Mr.. Ralkes.

Mr.. Raikes, a gentleman l met In York
shire last summer"
"Oh! All! Well, my dear, you had
better ask Mr.. Raikes to dinner. If you
are doing nothing tonight we shall be
delighted to see you at o'clock sharp"
| Edgar Raikes was upon the point of
pleading another engagement, but GER
tain wistful glance into Felicia's dark
eyes made him change his mind, and he
murmured his acceptance and thanks.
Mr.. Grantley stepped into his daughters
bronugham.
"This man, at all events, is honest
Felicia said to herself, and then she re-
membered that she had liked him when
they had met him at Keppington, and
afterward, too, when he had called upon
them at the hotel, only that his attention
seemed to have been absorbed by Mrs
| Talbot. She recollected how foolishly
piqued and annoyed she had been that
this had been the case, and how angry
with herself she had felt afterward, be-
cause she, Felicia, whose heart was al
that time presumably In the possession
of Lord Augustus Wray, should have
been 30 lost to sef-respect as to have
felt jealous-yes, commonly jealous, be
cause a goou-iooking young man, who
was a perfect stranger to her, should
have taken no notice of her, and should
have seemed to find pleasure in the so
ciety Of her friend.
