vehement CONNIE suit:
Un certain soir du mois d'avril,
alors que nous 6tions campes, tous
enroules sous nos couvertes, un
homme qui n'etait pas de notre
compagnie, vint nous trouver ct

un tomahawk ct des seaux, quill
trait voler les liqueurs des { etficiers,

1t was well for the Squire that his
breath failed, for Jonas was up in an
instant, his eyes flashing, his nostrils
white and dilated with sudden. virile
anger He leaned with one hand on
the table, and in his grasp was. the
long bread-knife. His voice was ON
inously quiet:
STEADY, Squire. 1 don't allow no
man to insult me in my own house,
nor anywhere else. / guess ye've said
bout enough. Ye might as well git

The Squire calmed down Immediate
ly. He picked up his hat buttoned up
his coat over his still heaving breast,
and laid a heavy hand on the door
knob. Then he turned and for full a
minute the two men looked steadily
each into the others eyes like animals

down to me at my own fgger. To-

ment for thirty year, ever since ye laid

est day 1 ever drawed breath. Pack
up ye're duds, ye white-headed pup.
It's my turn now"
He lodged the heavy toe of Jonass
boot and hastened down the graveled
walk to his buggy at the gate.
Jonas went back to the kitchen and
cleared UP the breakfast dishes. Then
he sat own with his pipe to think 1t
over. The SQuire's words We're no
surprise. He knew that Barlow had
bought up the notes; he knew that
there was no hope for him after to-
morrow. He had already packed his
few clothes in a grip, and was ready.
Tomorrow, before the sale could be-
gin, he would walk out and leave the
new owner.
Jonas nature was self-contained,
and he did not show his emotions. Yet,
as he wandered about the house.
thinking of Eliza, he came very near to
tears. 1t was all SO lonesome and for
lorn. The dust lay thick on the par
lor table, something he had never
known in the old days. His mind
went back, as it had done hundred
times during the week, to 'Sonny,"
his son Bill,-and a great sob welled
up in his throat. If Billy We're only
there-but he put the thought reso-
lutely away. Billy was not there:
Billy was but memory, and Ann
Eliza was dead, and home was home
no longer. Jonas was up long before
dawn the next morning. AS Squire
Barlow had predicted, he cooked his
last breakfast, and by sun-up he was
ready to depart. He stepped out of
the yard without look back. The
air was sharp with November frost,
but he swung away down the road at
n gait that set his heart pounding joy
ously. Over his shoulder, on heavy
cane, he carried his carpet grip-sack.
In his pocket was money-not so much
to be sure, but enough to keep him for
a month. And why worry beyond
that, even at seventy years of age?
If you had asked Jonas whittier he
was bound he could not have told you
but he felt in his heart that he could
make his way to one of the large cities
and find work, for his spirit was yet
young. 1t was his boast, admitted by
his neighbors, that he had not aged a
day, in look or manner, in the past
ten years. So he strobe ON with q
light step, and for a week covered
about twenty miles day, putting ur
at country hotels. The fresh air was
like wine: the varying landscape was
a delight He lived again the days OF
sixty-three when he tramped up and
down the State OF Tennessee fighting
and being fought. day after day
through that terrible campaign.

Crow and Parrot Fight.

Adam Forcpaugh, the veteran show
man. had a white parrot which had
learned to say, zone at time, gentle
men, don't crush" acquired, of course
from the ticket seller.
One day the parrot got lost, and
after n long search Mr.. Forepaugh
was overjOyed TO hear its familiar
voice from an adjoining cOrnfteld.
He dismounted from his buggy, en-
tered the cornheld and found the par
rot in the middle of Il flock of crows
that had pecllcd him until he was al
most fcatherless. As the crows bit
and nipped, the parrot, lying on his
side and defending himself with his
claws, was repeating over and over,
"One at n time, gentlemen, one at a
time. Don't crush"

Fabulous Cost of SoIomon's Temple

Solomon's Temple flourished before
the days of modern Graft" but 1t
may be wondered what became of all
the jewels and precious stones, for the
talents of gold, silver and brass used
in the construction of the temple We're
valued at about thirty-tive billions of
dollars, and the Jewels about the same,
according to Villapandus. The conse-
Grated vessels of gold amounted to two
and three-quarter billions; of silver
two and one-half billions; the vest
ments and musical instruments to
eleven and one-quarter millions.
There were ten thousand men en-
ployed to hew timber, seven thou
sand as burden carriers, twenty thou
sand as hewers of stones, thirty-three
hundred overseers, all of whom were
employed for seven years and upon
whom Solomon bestowed as a gift
thirty millions of dollars. Adding the
food and wages the total would be
over four hundred and fifty millions
of dollars. The costly stone and tim
ber equalled twelve billion more and
the whole total has been carefully
estimated as $77,521 ,9G5 5,636.
