he had put upon it. Fried pastry had

to eat it with a boys appetite In late
middle age made it quite another thing.
The peaches had been as sweet and
sp1ced as the pastry was greasy. To-

night long. In the morning he was
weak and wan-so weak the bare

up and staggered about the room, but
found it idle to think Of going out.
Then came the Judge to Whisk him

There lay the rub. Alonzo was still

believed so. Desperately he decided on
heroic measures. After the decision he
took Anne Maria for a quiet drive

most demure smile. When they came
back the captain sent Alonzo a dis
patch:

BLEED.
cranky, who had two cares in life
keeping his indigestion and his free
dom. TO say that he was nice over his
eating IS putting it quite too mildly.
1t was the same regarding his single
estate. He thought every girl who was
even civil to him had visions Of dover
or alimony floating through her head.
And he was firmly resolved never to
marry; also quite as firmly resolved
that his nephew, Alonzo, should not live
a bachelor nor marry any wife save
one of the captains choosing.
Judge Jones, Anne Maria's father,
had been at college with the captain.
Naturally when a business deal
brought the captain to the judges town
lie was made very welcome in the
Jones home. Naturally also Alonzo,
who came along, went down before
Louella, the beauty. Then the captain
called him names and sent him pack
ing, saying grufHy, IF you want my
money to go to charity just marry any
thing named jones'
When Louella heard that she tossed
her head and went on a long visit to
her city aunt. Anne Maria STAYED at
home, keeping very much out of the
captains way, but getting up such
dishes for him as he had not tasted
since his mother died. Good feeding
Is held to breed good temper, but the
captain must have been born to set
rule and proverbs at defiance. The
fatter he got the crankier he showed
himself to be. Indeed, Judge Jones
gave Anne Maria a caution at the end
Of the third fortnight, saying: IF you
feed up that old wretch much more
there'll be no doing business with him.
AS matters stand this whole thing
hinges on his consent, and yesterday
be let us know in full board that un-
less he has his own way in everything,
from the weight Of the rails to the
names Of the stations, the railroad will
never be built. The final meeting when
all must be decided comes off two DAYS
hence. If only you could make the CAP
tain lll-too ill to be in his seat-but
really I don't believe it is possible. He
has the stomach of an ostrich, al
though he talks dyspepsia half the
time.
Anne Maria sighed, then smiled, but
said nothing. She studied half the
night and next morning said privately
to the judge: Don't come home to
lunch, father. I shall send something
to the Office. And he sure Won keen
the captain to eat with you" Then
she disappeared in the direction of the
Kitchen, smiling oddly, and also sigh
ing the least bit in the world.
What have we here? AS I live,
fried pies! Jerusalem, how nv mouth
waters! I can eat an acre of 'em any
day." the captain cried as toward 1
o'clock that day Judge Jones threw
back the damask cover of the laden
tray that had just been set on top of
his big desk. And I'm hungry as a
wolf! This is luck" the captain went
on, Selling one Of the rich brown
greasy half moons and popping the
end of it into his mouth. It came awav
with clean semicircular cut some
thing less than four inches across.
''Dried peach pies" the captain num-
bled ecstatically, chewing hard. "Sun
dried peaches too! Where, where did
you find 'em, Jones? Never tasted any
thing so good In all my life!'
You must ask the women the
Judge said, chuclzling behind htss hand.

cussed with them the situations created
by the popes encyclical letter to the

reference to their attitude toward the
