took her old seat, just across the
hearth from Lige's chair. Lige sat
down, took up an ear of corn, as
though he had just come in from the
stable, and began to shell it,

she wiped her eyes, "go an fix Lige's

Six months had passed. Big Lige,
who would not permit himself to be
hero, avoided company, shelled his
corn and made his collars for the
work-horses. Old man Petticord was
happy again, and the old lady, con-
stantly requested not to "argy,"
seemed not to have ever had a mo-
ment of trouble.
1t was Saturday, and the old man
and his wife had gone to ''meetin' "
down at the ford. Big Lige sat in
the ''big ROOM" engaged in making
a new bottom for a chair. Mile
came in from the kitchen. She looked
at Lige and blushed The giant be-
came confused.

She knelt down on the floor beside
him and said:
Long time ago a person done me

when we killed hogs Sallie Patterson
told me that you said this to her:

now that the revised tariff Offers such encour-

more welcome than the portrait by Velasquez
which Mrs. c. p. Huntington Is reported TO have
bought from Captain Holford, the owner Of Dor
chester House. As our Illustration clearly shows
this full length Of the Count Duke of Olivares
dates from the period when the master WIS
just beginning to make his way at the court of
Madrid. His style was still restrained the
gamut of color within which he sought his ef-
fects was still rather narrowly defined. Later
on he was TO paint OlIvares, on horseback in
as buoyant mood and with as broad brush
as he brought to the painting of his equestrian
Philip. This earlier portrait illustrates at once
the more deliberate phase of his technique
and the tentative, prudent spirit in which he
faced his opportunity. The court was strange
TO him. Its rigid etiquette must have reacted
with peculiar SEVERITY upon the man who had
only short time before been painting the raCv
bodegones of his Sevillan apprenticeship. Oil
wares is now the great man who has befriended
