the average; buckyheat, so bushels;
corn, shellcd, 10 bushels; potatoes,

The fruit on display as well as the

glance from the edge of the woods.
The girl, still huddled in her de-
spondent pose, was boxing after him.
Dempsey rose with the mellow In
dian summer sun next morning, a
brilliant idea sparkling in his brain
lie would go to Miss Paula Blgelow
and settle this line-fence question.
During a long evening the memory OF
her tears had haunted him.
He was not a man to make war on
lone woman, by Jove! II she
wouldn't reason about that strip of
land beyond the creek she should have
It. Suppose right was or his side, in
case like this right and wrong were
only names, anyway.
Whistling blithely, he followed the
winding path through the autumn
woods aname with riotous colors. The
air had a tang OF last nights frost
Squirrels chartered I'm the trees; the
fallen leaves rustled pleasantly under
foot.
Approaching the creek the path
bore to the right to some stepping
stones across the shadows. He picked
his way over, dryshod, then swung
back 10 the knoll above a quiet pool.
From the knoll the path TO Bigelow's s
bisected the line which the surveyor
had run. At that spot he had begun
his fence building.
Just then the whistle stopped alb
ruptly and so did Dempsey. Tied to
long rope, which permitted him TO
range over the boundary line, was a
white bulldog, a huge fellow with
massive foreshoulders and Jaw like
prize fighter. His white teeth were
exposed I'm an ugly grimace. He ut
tered no sound, but the way In which
he strained at the rope showed his
willingness to mix things with the in
truder.
All the emotions which were
quenched by the tears of yesterday
were rekindled in Dempsey. He was
angry and resentful and more than a
little hurt at this latest move Of the
red-headed girl.
Couldn't she have trusted him TO do
the right thing? Did she imagine he
was a trouble-seeker who delighted
to be at war with his neighbors? The
milk of human kindness soured; he
resolved to accept her challenge and
to meet force with craft.
Dempsey had a way with him and
his arts and his blarneying tongue
were never more earnestly used than
in the subjugatiou of that bulldog.
For four successive mornings he
brought the brute Jumps Of meat and
line OF endearlng conversation that
wDuld have made a stone dog wag his
tail.
The meat and the talk had their ef-
feet The second day he patted the
massive head Ringerly; the third
though still with definite reserva-
tions., the bulldog permitted him 10

faithless animal surrendered com

merriment OF a catblrd. Then she
waved her free hand airily; there
was a whisk OF the short skirt and
she and the dog vanished.
II began to snow the next day and
the storm continued until there was
two feet OF soft whiteness on the
level, while six-foot drifts formed in
the eddies. Fence building was out
of the question and Dempsey wired a
cancellation OF his order for the goats.
And In his heart he cherished fiery
recruitment against his neighbor of
the fiery hair and temper.
The joke was on him aud he was
ready to admit II, but II was not kind
of her to peddle Il over the country
side. 1t would seem that everyone
had heard about his bath. The loung-
office; they grinned broadly when
they passed him in the road.
He met Paula two or three times.
She looked straight ahead, demurely;
but the blue eyes danced with mlrth-
full remembrance.
AS the weeks passed. however, the
sting went out ofthe incident, Try
as he would he could not remain
angry at the girl. especially when he
learned that she had not told the
story of his discoliture. II was old
Sim Broadbent, her hired man, who
had witnessed II from afar and hur-
ried to the village with the news.
II bid fair to be a lonesome winter
for the city farmer. His housekeep-
err Mrs. Rogge, was stone-deaf and
usually wheezed off to bed after sup
per. Her son, Willie. Dempsey's hired
man, spent every evening at the VII
lage or attending dances within a 10
mile radius Dempsey, with no taste
for the gossip Of the postoffioe, stayed
home alone.
Drawing his big chair up before a
generous open fire usually he read a
bit: then the book would slide TO the
floor as Dempsey began TO dream
dreams and see visions. BY, some
necromancy of the brain, which he
could not control, the dreams and vi
sions always oentefed about the red
headed girl who had flouted and out
witted him so shamefully ~.
They were only freIight things, at
first. but later they began 20 endure
under the pale glare OF the winter
sunlight. Dempsey found surpFis-
Ing number OF errands to the village
necessary; OF course the fact that the
road led past Miss Blgelow's door had
nothing to do with his necessities.
His heart thumped from the mo-
ment he got within hopeful sight OF
the rambling old homestead untn ne

OF vision .if. .,.lf &.
Three weeks had gone by before he
mustered up courage enough to call.

wistfully out his front window at the

Heigh-hol Life was a dull propo-
sitIon at best, city or country. And
then the rushing beat Of his pulses
set this old mans reflection scurrying,
for up the path come the figure OF his
red-headed neighbor. .U.
Miss Bigelow was decidedly the
more seif-possessed OF the two when
Dempsey opened the door.
"No, | can't come In" she said,
with cool rapidity. '.I have message
and only moment or two to deliver
IT,. On the way out from the city this
evening sat behind two men and
couldn't help but hear their conver-
sation. II was about you. They said
that the knoll down by the creek is

a secret, SO they hope to buy your
property simply for fits value as a

briefly. .s. y
They walked to the Bigelow place
in silence. Once In the coy sitting
room he set himself, with cold logic,
to persuade Miss Paula TO wealth.
He pointed out that 90 years OF
possession Of the property north OF
the creek had given Il legally TO her
estate, that even II II had not. his
surveyor had probably made mis-
take; and that the parent-lode was

and impersonally.
Miss Bigelow leaned her elbow on
