SO soundly berated him when he lay
abed. That was all the thanks you
ever got for doing things for some
folks"
Samuel hobbled onward, his brow
knit with angry resentment. Did ever
half-mile seem so long, and had he
actually been only twenty-three hours
from home and Blossy? Oh, oh! his
back and his feet! Oh, the weight of
that bag! How much he needed sleep!
How good it would be to have Blossy
tuck him under the covers, and give
him hot lemonade with stick Of
ginger in it,
If only he had hold of Abe Rose now
to tell him his opinion of him! Well
he reflected, you have to summer and
winter with a person before you can
know them. This one December day
and night with Abe had been equal to
the revelations of a dozen seasons
The next time Samuel tried to do good
to anybody more than sixty-five, he'd
know it. The next time he was. per

night, he'd know that, too Various
manuals for the young husband, which
he had consulted, to the contrary not
withstanding, the place for married

Samuel sat down on fallen tree
which marked the halfway point be-
tween his place and the bay. The last
half of the journey would seem short

Blossy smiling a welcome, for he
never doubted but that Blossy would
be glad to see him. She thought a

separation.
His face smoothed its troubled
frowns into a look of shining anticipa-
tion-the look that Samuels face had
worn when first he ushered Blossy
into his tidy little home and murmured
huskily:
Mis- Darby, you're master o. the
vessel naow; I'm Jest fo'castle hand"
Forgetting all his aches, his pains
his resentments, Samuel took a pep
permint lozenge out Of his pocket,
rolled it under his tongue, and walked
on. Presently, as he saw the light of
the clearing through the trees, he
broke into a run-an old mans trot-
thus proving conclusively that his
worry of lumbago and chilblains had
been merely wrongly diagnosed case
of inconsistencies.

When two who have loved fondly
begin to disagree, and after many a
falling out agree to go their separate

opportunity to come eagerly forward
and sue for the girls favor, but some
how not one of them fills the lonely
void in her heart.
1t is quite the same with a man. IL
his heart has gone out to one girl

careful to avoid anything like senti-

people who fancy because a man re-

The fact is he gives the old love but
a passing thought When a sweet
heart is lost to man by his marriage

KNOCK HIM OUT.
The Smart AIeck Who Points a
Gun at You "For Fun

The upland bird shooting season
opens July 18th, only little more
than month from now. Here is
one golden maxim for the shooter
of any kind of a gun to observe
and to have observed towards him
self:
when a man playfully points a
gun at you, knock him down. Don't
stop to inquire if the gun is loaded /;
knock him down and then inquire
afterwards. Don't be particular
what you knock him down with:
only see that he is thoroughly
down. If a coroner's inquest must
be held, let it be on the fellow with
the gum
There are many men to whom
a gun is treat, a pleasure,
friend and to- mistreat a good
weapon, or to fail to recognize its
power and danger if misused, is a
crime. Men of sense, or at least of
will never allow a gun to
be pointed at any person, except
as one has need to SO point tat
a burglar, or robber, or public en-
envy But there are hordes Of
fools, big and little, men, women,
girls and boys, who point guns at
other people, not knowing whether
The gun is loaded or not. A club.
or an axe, or a bony fist, or a
that is not Sc
we're enough-should be used on
very one who points gun at any
