As an orator, she beat her lover. As lawyer summing up case, she had him all frazzled out. He could like it or lump 1t. He could go and hang himself or drown himself. He could hang around town or so with Dr. Cook on another north pole hunt.
 When MT. Gaynor was out of the house and walked in some direction or other, he didn't just decide whether a boiler had burst in the electric light works or a dago had tried to ham, mer the end of a stick of dynamite. What he did realize, however, was that all was over between him and the girl he wanted to jump over precipices to prove his love for. She had broken the engagement as a mad woman might snap @ basswood broomstick across her knee. She had tilted him for 8 liar. She might read of his death in the morning papers by fall ing down a coal-hole, and instead of tears she would giggle.
 Spare Mir Gaynor the next four weeks! He didn't run amuck through the streets with knife or tomahawk. and they didn't send him to an insane asylum, but after a month doctor felt his pulse, looked at his tongue and the whites of his eyes, and told him to go to the country for month.
 As for Miss Mattie Raynor 1t isn't to be said whether she went into 8 decline or not. Her father and moth.
 k she went with them.
 MT. Guy Spencer had found that Miss Rayner was mot at home" to him aft CT that Hateful evening, and in time he decided to go to the country for a new crop of yarns to tell to new girl.
 The Raynors went to Meadow Inn. MT. Gaynor went to Meadow Inn. MT. Spencer went to Meadow Inn. The Raynors got there at noon. MT. Spencer got there at night. Mir. Gaynor got there next morning. It was strange that they all sought the same place.
 At Il o'clock in the forenoon. after the dew had ceased making bogus dia- monds of the dewdrops, Miss Mattie strolls in the meadow by her lonesome to gather daisies. MT. Spencer sees her strolling and has just cheek enough to set out after her. Up comes the bus and MT. Gaynor, and from the window of his room he sees the two strollers, and goes down to lick MT. Spencer as he returns. That was one of the things he had vowed to do before death came.
 And the goat? He gets his cue and comes on right here. He was the ho- tel goat. He had some cute tricks to make him a source of amusement.
 As the strollers strolled he caught sight of them. It might have been the i color of MT. Spencer's hair or eyes that fired his anger, or there might have been mental telegraph line be- tween him and MT. Gaynor. But he ambled down to within a hundred feet of the strellers, who had ceased to stroll, and then charged. A goat Is not fearful object as he stands chewing an old shoe. but when he is coming at you head-on, and you remember to have read his skull is hard enough to burst barrel of ce- ment-thats different!
 Miss Mattie's shrieks were heard at | the hotel.
 And the liar-hero?
 He didn't want any of that, and wheeling softly he ran 50 feet and vaulted barbed wire fence without tearing his trousers, and did not stop running for half mile. MT. Gaynor was after the goat, but Billy stopped dead still few feet from the girl. She was laughing till she weaved to and fro and her eyes blinded with tears.
 What is 1t, dear7" asked Gaynor es he reached her.
 Wait a minute!"
 Are you hurt?'
 "N-no, but did-did you see the hero! Oh, Charlie. 1t was rich! Take me somewhere SO I can laugh all want to-
 They made up, but that goat had brought 1t all about, and he just dotted on peach stones, and they never fed him single one!
