the pleasure of seeing her home. Do
it. And, when Sam gifts his work in,
taught Laugh like a BULL And git
Sally to laugh. | bet you two dollars
and ten cents that Sam won't be in
town the next day."
Like a campaign speech was the
effect Of thisl
Seffy objected no longer. He said
he would do it ALI Perhaps this, too,
got about. At all events, before the
x Sunday, the interest created by
their rivalry was more than equal to the
voice of the Gospel. All the township
would be at church!
Sam would not be dislodged. He
invented the most diabolical schemes
for sequestrating Sally to himself
during the week which followcd-into
which guileless Sally often fell-and
which seemed to proclaim her sutton to
be himself. Sam, you will remember,
had access to Sally, but Seify had not.
Seffy confessed that this looked sinister.
True, he remembered all hat had
passed between them. But once before
he had been in error.
So that Seffy, before the weeks end,
began once mOre-and more strongly
to deprecate the necessity for this
BubllN utlllbl0lItllb VI HIS NldNuHs Ills
father demanded it as "A diplomatic
necessity, inasmuch rs Sally still re-
tanned Sam on n basis so much like
his own as to make the situation eX-
tremely embarrassing TO even Old
Iiaumgartner, who had let it be known
that he was the active coadjutor OF
his son. To vanquish Seffy was to
vanquish him, and he, if not Seffy
himself, screwed Seffy's courage to the
sticking point. After this, Seffy weak
cned no more, but proclaimed his
purpose. 1t was generally conceded
that the one who failed now would have
TO leave town.
So here was retiring little Seffy forced
10y circumstances into a public rivalry
which he detested, and, it may as well
be confesscd-feared. 1t must, also,
be explained that Sally's course in
maintaining these two strings to her
bow until the breaking moment was not
only universally commended, but was
the answering custom of the ~vicinaGe
for girls so fortunate rs to have two
strings. 1t was held likely to force
one or the other to the point-and this
was the purpose Of rustic coquetry!
And Sally's coquetry was not only
acknowledged; it was tolerated, and
| fear, encouraged. And, alas, it had
been as sweet to her as vinOus disslpa-
ton to men. But now it had made
not only her own, but Seify's position
tremendously more difficult.

voice, somehow, had lost its soft rich
ness. She was particularly kind to the
young store-keeper now, and he was
particularly reckless and drunken. And
rumor presently had it that she was
known to be drunk with him some
timesl
Sally" said Serfy timorously, one
day, Che had waited to tell her this
you don't think-you don't believe
that said"
81 know" said Sally, in a voice that
iroze him, that you are a fool-and
l am not fond Of fools. Go away Be
glad | don't lick you!'
And then rumor had it that she and
Sam were to be married-"for spite"
But, curiously enough, the person
most affected by all this wa not Sally,
n Seffy, nor Sam. 1t was Seffy's
father, whose suffcrings were nearing
agony. Nothing could be done with
Seffy And the course of the love
between them, which had never been
ruifled since Seffy was born, was often
ruffled now. The old man, as their
relations grew strained, became more
and more cXasperated at Seffy's lack
of initiative.
"Gosh-a mighty You goin' to let
that molasses-tapper set right down on
you and meter git off? Can't you see that
she wants yOup 1t don't matter what

right up to her like a man and say o."
81 did, " said Seffy.
"Hah, you did? And what she says?
"She said she knowed it,
"Well-begoshens! She's a worse
fool. Gather her in and make a fool off
of her and git efen! Turning her back
on an OF man that harms no one
and her guardeen yit!'
Alas, this was another thing he had
done to secure the pasture-fleld-made
himself her legal guardian!
"Tll gife it up-the guardeen. Yas-
sir. She ken take keer herself. Fool
of course. Bose foolsl You wait tell
. she marries that durn molasses-tapper
if you want to see fun!"
There was such real agony in the old
mans voice that Seffy suffered, too.
"Pappy, I'm sorry | amt no good,
expect l guess III go away before
Notwithstanding! You goin' to
let that wedding go on? And him git
the pasture-field? Put him between us
and the railroad"
"How can stop it, pappy?"
"By marrying her yourself!'
a got enough, pappy," said Seffy
hopelessly. They'd lynch me if | tried
it again. l guess I'd better go away"
Quick anger famed in his fathers
face at this invertebrate submission.
And his voice, when he spoke, was
harsher than Seffy had ever heard it.
Got enough-got enough-that's
all you know! And go away! That's
all you ken say, you bull-headed idiot!
Go and apologize and git her back.
Don't run. Then marry her next day.
Thatn settle the molasses-tapper, l
expect, and show hat you got an inch
or two of backbone! Choke her
chloroform her and carry her off"
Seffy laughed at the absurdity of
the thing. But it was un|mirthful.

CHAPTER X.
THE HUGE FIST OF THE FARMER.

From that day Seffy avoided all
public places-and all men. He was
nobody-nothing. He fell rapidly into
that kind Of disrepute which is common
to persons with failing regulations. 1t
was to his discrcdit that he did not
leave town, but this his father prevent
ed. Again he took to the Cotton
Woods and the Poi~son-Spring, with,
perhaps, the dim hope that Sally might
again find him there, and that the
%peeping moon might again interfere on
his behalf.
But the moo went through all her
phases and then slowly turned her
back on him-and Sally never came.
In their casual meetings she was ice.
Once they passed on the road to the
store. She was in precisely the dear
garments he remembered so well-of
the first day-and as gay rs then.
He trembled, and then looked up like a
mortally-wounded animal. She was
looking calmly over his head. To the
rest of the world she was gayer than
ever, though that S~unday-night laugh
still echoed in her head-kept her
maddened. After all, it wasn't worth
while to care for even Seffy with such
a little spirit. Why didn't he fight
kill Sam or somebody? And the cunning
Sam set the story more widely going
that for revenge Seffy had deserted her
at the church door and that he had
first laughed-Seffy. This was too pi-
quaint to be passed over, and it was
heard far and wide.
To Seffy's father, who, even in this
dire strait, strove for happiness for them
both-and, of course, the pasture-field
she said with more abandoned dis
respect than she had ever addressed to
any one:
"'You ought to be glad that | do not
take revenge on him! If he wasn't so
little ] would. But he's not worth both
ering about. Sacked me-, did he? I'll
show him.
"Why, Sally! What would you do?"
"Put him over my knee and spank
him and then pen him in the cellar!"
"Saliy, don't talk like that" pleaded
the old man. at sp'iles your voice"
And Sally gave him then and there
a rude specimen Of how her voice was

AMERICAS TOY TOWN.

A trip through the toy shops in Of
tumwa org any other city reveals an
outlay of playthings which leave no
reason for bemoaning the fact that
the war has removed from the Ameri-
can market all those toys which bore
the little legend. made in Germany,
and which were SO mitch a part OF
every Christmas display but few
years ago.
The German toy makers are making
shells, or lodging them now. The
American artisan has taken up the
job of supplying Santa Claus, and he
has done so well that Christmas shop
pers would not miss the German pro-
duct save for the comparison which
inevitably is drawn and which re.
bounds to the credit of the American
made toy.
There is more than little inspira
ton in the consciousness that the
youthful generation need not be
robbed of any of it's Christmas joy be
cause the workmen who were train
ing to assault Christendom even while
they fashioned the symbols Of Christ
endom's greatest holiday have for
saken peace for war.

Jolly Robin had described. But Jas
per couldn't find the wonderful crea.
