George Longbone, a full-blooded Il
ian of Bartlesyille. Okla. Is studyiu
Walton. Here is an Indian, we woul
ay, who is well up in his studies
FATE.
Once upon time there was a
young man by the name OF Pete
Hendershott, whose father died
and left him his money In case he
would become a veterinary
surgeon.
Well, Pete graduated, and,
looking about for place 10 hang
up his single, decided upon the
pretty little town OF Doowood as
the scene of his future activities.
In Oogwood lived Nell Blake,
the only and the charming daugh-
ter Of old man Blake, who ran a
feather renovator works. In his
trips around the country 10 pick
up feathers. old man Blake drove
a horse and mule and one day
the mule got sick, so old man
Blake sent Nell with the mule
down 70 the young and handsome
new veterinary surgeon, which
was their first meeting.
Well, suffice TO say, that when
the mule had been cured, two
young people, veterinary
surgeon and the daughter Of the
local feather renovator, had
fallen madly In love, because I.ell
loved the mule and was thankful
for the fact that the veterinary
surgeon had cured IL.
Well, time wore on and Nell
and Pete we're always found to.
gether at the Ice cream soclals,
and each night when there was
no social, they would be seen to-
gether going into the movies.
One night as they we're watch
ing the movies, scene showed a
man who was cruel 10 a mule,
and as Nell thought of the sick
mule her veterinary surgeon
lover had cured, she felt still
deeper love for him and made up
her mind that II he should pro-
pose she would accept him.
In after years Nell often
thought Of that night.
Well, Pete Hendershott was
sitting in mis- office the next
morning when a young woman
walked in with a sick COW, which
he could see needed immediate
attention.
The COW, Pete discovered. had
swallowed a whole potato which
had got stuck in its throst-s
very serious case with cows.
While he was working on the
COW, probing for the Murphy,
Nell appeared with the mule,
which was sick again, but as Pete
had made up his mind that he
would propose and wanted TO see
Nell alone, he told her he would
take a look at the mule as soon
as he had gotten the potato out
OF the cows throat, which he
finally did.
Suddenly, however, piercing
scream rent the air and stepping
to the door OF his office, Pete
Hendershott saw the mule stag
ger and fall down dead and saw
Nell throw herself prone upon the
mule, weeping bitterly.
The result was that Nell &C
cused Pete Of having fallen in
love with the girl that had
brought the ccw with the potato
in it's throat, whose name was
Hazel-that is, the girl's-and
from that day Pete and Nell never
met.
When the Office had been closed
and the young veterinary surgeon
had forever turned his back on
Doswood, a romance had come to
bitter end.
Nell left Dogwood and took a
position in a laundry in a neigh
boring town.
Still, living far apart, they are
two souls with but a single
thought, and that thought Of a
mile, whose last kick was
deadIiest Of all Tor a young vet
Urinary surgeon and the daughter
Of the feather renovator.
