before he died. to attain the wish Of
his life, and see, not only the Elysian
pasture-field, but the whole Of the ad-
Joining farm, with the line fences down,
q part Of his. The other thing /
promise to mention as an aid to this
ambition-was Seffy. And, since the
said Sarah was Of nearly the same age
as Seffy, perhaps need not explain
further, except to say that the only
obstruction the old man could see now
to acquiring title by marriage. was
-Seffy himself. He was, and always
had been, afraid Of girls-espcciaily
such aggressive, flirtatious, pretty and
tempestuous girls as this Sarah.
These things, however, were heredl-
tary with the girl. 1t was historical,
in fact, that, during the life Of Sarah's
good-looking father, so importunate
had been Old Baumgartner for the
purchase Of at least the meadow-he
could not have ventured more Mt
that time-and so obstinate had been
the father of the present owner-(he
had red hair precisely as his daughter
had)-that they had come to blows
about it to the discontinue OF Old
Baumgartner; and, afterward, they did
not speak. Yet, when the loafers at
the store laughed, Baumgartner swore
that he would, nevertheless, have that
pasture before he died.
But, then, as if fate, too, were against
him, the railroad was built, and its
station was placed SO that the Pressel
farm lay directly between it and HIM
more in the direction of the station
left him more and more "out Of it,
and made him poorer and poorer, and
Pressed richer and richer. And, when
the store laughed at that, Baumgartner
swore that he would possess half OF
the farm before he died; and as Pressel
and his wife died, and Seffy grew up,
and as he noticed the fondness OF the
little red-headed girl for his little tow
headed boy, he added to his adiuration
Baxter Springs news., 1917-09-20
By John Luther Long

that he would be narrowing that whole
farm before he died-irithOW paying a
cent for ii.
But both Seffy and Sally had grown
to manageable age without anything
happening. Seffy had become lnordin-
atcly shy, while the coquettish Sally
had accepted the attentions OF Sam
Pritz, the clerk at the store, as an
antagonist more worthy OF her, and
in fashion which sometimes made the
father Of Scffy swear and lose his
temper-with Seffy. Though, Of course
in the final disposition OF the matter,
he was sure that no girl so nice as Sally
would marry such person as sam
Pritz. with no extremely visible means
Of supports salary Of four dollars a
week, and an odious reputation. for
liquor. And it was for these things,
ali of which were known Qor Baum
gartner had not single secret) that the
company at the store detected the
personal equation in Old Baumgartner's
communications.
Seffy had almost arrived by this
time, and Sally was in the store,
with Saml The situation was highly
dramatic. But the old man consum-.
motely ignored this complication and
directed attention to his son. For
him, the molasses-tapper did not exist.
The fact is he was overioyed. Seffy,
for once in his life, would be on time!
He would do the rest =,

showed the company, up and down the
store-porch, just how q sidewise dog

And this was his best mare and his
only son.
The big bay, clad in broad-banded
harness, soft with oil and glittering
with brasses, was shambling indolently
down the hill, resisting her own momen-
tum by the diagonal motion the old
man had likened to a dogs sidewise
trot. The looped trace-chains were
jingling a merry dithyramb, her head
was nodding, her tail swaying, and
Seffy, propped by his elbow on her
broad back, one leg swung between
the hames, the other keeping time on
her ribs, was singing:

And with the angels stand,
A crown upon my forehead

His adoring father chuckled. "!

They expressed their polite surprise
at this for perhaps the hundredth time.
"Yas-they have kind Of circus

After the applause he said:

What you sink?"
They one and all thought he had.
They knew he would do it, no matter
what they thought. His method, as
usual, was his own. He stepped to the
adjoining field, and, selecting clod with
the steely polish Of the plowshare upon,
it, threw it at the mare. 1t struck her on
the flank. She gathered her feet under
her in sudden alarm, then slowly relaxed,
looked slyly for the old man, found him,
and understanding, suddenly wheeled
and ambled off home, leaving Sefty
prone on the ground as her part Of the
Joke.
The old man brought Seffy in
triumph to the store-porch.
