Ronalds. "Your uncle has been tapping
the Davis farm. and I guess he got
over the line into our lot"
"If t.at meadow is oil land. it's
worth lot more than $780," he said,
indignantly. "Do you mean to say you

was the wolnau's quiet answer.
Larry swore that he would not per-
NIT the sacrifice. but the two women
only laughed. aud he left with the de-
termination to force his uncle to refuse
the offer.
Frazier smiled paternally.
"N,y dear boy" he said blandly,
that lot has one of the best wells

surflce. When the land Is mine and
can sink the shaft It'll be worth o
fortune. You have enough money for
your ELF and the girl. That should be
SUN lCient."
Larry rushed out Of the house and
back TO the Ronalds home. The argu-
mpnts the women advanced must have
been sound. for when Frazier came
with the title deeds the next day Larry
suggcs ted that he and the notary act as
wlno ses to theh marriage. The gray
hatred old minister stepped forward
and completed the ceremony, and Fra
zier was eager to congratulate the
bride.

Mrs. Ronalds afixed her signature,

Into his pocket. He turned into the

"DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited 20
Shooters Of Arrows.

The expression Craving q long bow
does not of necessity mean the telling
OF falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
a wonderful story which may be true
enough. but which IL so marvellous as
TO require firm trust In the veracity
OF the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe 1t. Some of the longest bows
Of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. vir-
gil In the ".I,neid' tells of four arch
ers who We're shooting for prize, the
mark being pigeon tied by cord to
the mast OF u ship The first man hit
the mast the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon as 1t flew
away &he fourth archer, having
nothing left to shoot, drew his bow
and sent his arrow flying toward the
sky with such speed that the friction
Of the air set the feathers ON fire, and
1t swept on like meteor to disappear
In the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley In Scott's
"Ivanhoe," are also a decided strain
upon modern credulity. The famous
story of William Tell, doubted by
many persons. is believed by others to
have a foundation Of fact. There was
Dane named Foke of whom the same
story is told. and William Of Cloudes-
ley, an Englishman, is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his expcrtness.
Most stories Of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim of the archers,
but Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenene,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be pro-
PEELED II the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
or the matter. he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk, admiral Of ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through a cannon ball.
Whether the cannon ball had q hole
through 1t or not he neglects to inform
us, probably not considering SO trifing
a matter worth mention.
Perhaps the most astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that Of
the Indians that used to inhabit Flor
Ida. 1t is said that group Of them
would form circle, then one would
throw an ear Of Indian corn into tho
air. The rest would shoot at II and
shell 1t Of every grain before 1t fell to
the ground. Sometimes the arrows
would strike II 30 hard and fast that
1t would remain suspended In the air
for several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away.
1t Is such stories az this which fully
justify the use to which the expression
drawing the long bow" is sometimes
put.-Chicago News.
