HAD HAPPENED BEFORE
EXPERIENCE THAT WAS motifs
ING NEW TO GALLUP.
BEING Thrown Out of Places by Men
Smaller Than Himself Seemed
Somehow to Be Matter OF {
Pride to Him.


Some men," observed Caleb Peas
lee, critically, ''c'n get lot OF COM
fort out of things that / couldn't nndi
mite of satisfaction in. Amt YOU
ever noticed it, Hyne?"
Mr. Hyne regarded Caleb narrowly.
and shuf1ed his feet in some irritation
"F'r pity sake, Caleb" he Remarked
petulantly, IF you've got anything TO
say, whynt you begin at the beginnin !
and say it? / get all out of patience
with you sometimes!"
Trouble is with you, Hyne, you
don't always agree with me aDouOl
where the beginnin' is, but in this spe-
cial case, l shouldn't be surprised II
you was in the right Of it. / guess
mebbe did begin wrong end to. WellI
to begin right, then, was down to
Bennoch's store last evenin' when that
big Gallup critter came in after suth-
in. You know him-that big teller
from over Dilmouth Centre way. Eth
er he was mad when he came in, or
else suthin' didn't go to his likin', but
before long we heard him and the
clerk have fuss over in the back part
of the store. That is, Gallup was fuss
in, and the clerk was tryin' to pacify
him. You know that clerk-the new
one that's only been there week."
Mr.. Hyne nodded his head assent
lngly "He amt much bigger'n bunch
of radishes," he observed. He'd STAN
about as much chance in fuss with
Gallup as a sneeze in a gale of wind"
Mr.. Peaslee smiled, but offered no
remark That's the fellow" he
agreed 81 thought you'd seen him.
Wal, as / said, there they was disput-
In, and Gallup gittin madden every
minute, and the clerk seemingly tryin'
to get him out of the store peaceable
like.
oval. we all of us crowded over
there to see what twas all about. The
crowd seemed to hearten Gallup up
mite, and give him courage,-he
amt much more'n half as big agin as
the clerk, you know,-so he up and
makes a motion as If he was goin' to
cuff the clerk.
"'Twas all done so quick, Hyne, that
/ can't tell you the particulars, but the
clerk went into that big gump like a
cooper going round g barrel. / was
standin' right by the back door, and
it was little ajar, and when / saw
the trouble comm my way l fetched
the door a kick, and stepped outside.
/ hadn't more'n got out before some
thin that looked like one of these
cross-legged sawhorses-all legs and
arms, you know-come out through
the door, and when it struck the gravel
and came to stop, saw it was Gal
lup. Yes, sir, that little clerk had
throwed that big lummox out through
the door, and had scurcely turned a
hair dom 1t.
oval, Gallup sat there on the
ground, kind of goin' over himself to
find out where he was and what had
happened, and watching the crowd
that was slappin' the clerk on the
back tellin' him how neat he'd done
the job. Finally Gallup made up his
mind what to say. He let go of his
nose, that he'd been trying to twist
back into shape, and spoke to the
clerk kind of contemptuous.
"You needn't feel so sot up over
THROWN me out of there he says.
You amt the fust man that's ever
throwed me out of places. I've been
throwed out by smaller men than you
be, time n agin,' says he, and he
looked at the clerk as if he'd reduced
him to powder.
"And so,' concluded Mr. Peaslee, "I
c'ncluded that Gallup thought he'd
come out of the affair with full as
much credit as the clerk And that
was what l was thinkin' when l re-
marked that some men could get sat
isfaction out of what seemed to me
there was mighty little satisfaction in.
Don't it look that way to you, Hyne,
now that you've heard the whole
on't?" And Mr. Hyne grunted an as
sent-Youth's Companion.
