 "Bim, saw you fly up that ladder. Come back down. Here's a right nice young man come to see you"
 "Is he good-lookingT' Bim called.
 s."Oh, purity as a picture, black eyes and hair and teeth like pearls, and tall and straight, and he's got a be-e-autiful little mustache."
 That's enough P Bim exclaimed. "I just wish there was a knot hole in this floor"
 "Come on down here," Ann urged.
 "Pm scared" was the answer.
 "His cheeks are as red as roses and he's got lovely ring and big watch chain-pure gold and yaller as dan delion. You come down here"
 Stop" Bim answered. "ITl be down as soon as can get on my best bib and tucker" -,
 In a few minutes Bim called from the top of the ladder to Ann. The lat ter went and looked up at her. Both girls burst into peals of merry laugh ter. Bim had put on a suit of her fa ther's old clothes and her buffalo skin whiskers and was wild sight.
 Don't you come down looking like that" said Ann. "Tn go up there and tend to you"
 Ann climbed the ladder and for time there was much laughing and chattering in the little loft. By and by Ann came down. Bim hesitated, laughing, above the ladder for a mo- ment, and presently followed in her best blue dress, against which the golden curls of her hair fell grace fully. With red cheeks. and bright eyes, she was glowing picture. Very timidly she gave her hand to Mir. Riggs.

 A blush spread over the girls cheeks to the pretty dimple at the point of her chin. ..
 You'll see her scampering up the bladder like a squirrel" said Mrs. Kel- so. "She isn't real tame yet"
 Perhaps we could hide the ladder" he suggested, with smile. 1a s & Do you play on the fute?" Bim asked. .-s
 "No," said MT. Biggs. .z. G
 q was afraid" Bim exclaimed. My Uncle Henry does" She looked into MT. Biggs' eyes.
 Mr. Biggs laughed. "That smile of yours is very becoming" he said.
 At this point MT. Kelso returned with his gun on his shoulder and was introduced to Mir. Biggs.
 q welcome you to the hazards of my fireside," said Kelso. "So you're from St. Louis and stopped for re- pairs in this land of the ladder climb CTS. Sit down and I'll put log on the fire" @.E4r
 Thank you, must go," said Riggs.
 Gan I not stay you with fagonsT Kelso asked .H
 "The doctor has forbidden me all drink but milk and water"
 "A wise man is Doctor Allenw Kel- so exclaimed. "Cervantes was right in. saying that too much wine will neither keep a secret nor fulfill a promise" ..r e.f
 "Wnl you make me 8 promiseT Bim asked of Mir. Biggs, as he was leaving the door with Ann. +r
 Anything you will ask," he an- swered.
 "Please don't ever look at the new moon through a knot hole," she said in half whisper.
 The young man laughed. "Why not?" Y.
 "If you do, you'll never get mar ried."
 Don't be alarmed by my daugh- ter's fancies," Kelso advised. "They are often rather astonishing"
 So MT. Eliphalet Riggs met the pretty daughter of Jack Kelso. On his way back to the tavern he told Ann that he had fallen in love with the sweetest and prettiest girl in all the lworld-Bim Kelso. That very evening Ann went over to Kelso's cabin to take the news to Bim and her mother and to tell them that her fa- ther reckoned he belonged to a very rich and very grand family. MT. Kelso had gone to Offut's store and the three had the cabin to themselves.
 "I think he's just wonderful man T! Bim exclaimed. "But I'm sorry his name Is so much like figs and pigs. I'm plum sure I'm going to love him."
 "I thought you were in love with Harry Needles" Bim's mother said to her.

 Acquainted With Bim kelso and
 Her Father.
 Tn musty old ledger kept by James Rutledge, the owner of Rutledge's tav- ern, in the year 1882, Is an entry un- der the date of January 31st which reads as follows: N.-.
 Arrived this day Eliphalet Riggs of 26 Olive street, St. Louis, with one horse" @
 Young MT. Biggs remained at Rut- ledge's tavern for three weeks with his arm in a sling under the eye of the good doctor. The Rutledges were Kentucky folk and there the young man had found sympathetic hearing and tender care. " -.. .-....
 It had done him good to be hurled against a barn door and to fall trem- bling and confused at the feet of his master He had never met his master until he had reached Hopedale that morning. The event had been too long delayed. Encouraged by idleness and conceit and alcohol, evil passions had grown rank In the soil or ms spirit. Restraint had been thing unknown to him. He had ruled the little world in which he had lived by a sense of divine right. HeIwas prince of Ego land-that province of America which had only half yielded itself to the principles of Democracy. .sr.
 It must be said that he served his term as sober human being quite gracefully, being well born youth of some education. A few days he spent mostly in bed, while his friend, who had come on from Hopedale, took care Of him. Soon he began to walk about sad his friend returned to St. Louis.
 His fine manners and handsome form and face captured the little viii lage, most of whose. inhabitants had

 "But he has never said it twice, and when he did say 1t, didn't believe my ears, he spoke so low. Acted kind O like he was scared of it. don't want to wait forever to be really and truly loved, do I?'
 Mrs. Kelso laughed. "It's funny to hear a baby talking like that" she said. "We don't know this young man. He's probably only fooling, anyway"
 Bim went often to the little tavern after that. Of those meetings little Is known, save that, with all the pretty arts of the cavalier, unknown to Harry Needles, the handsome youth flattered and delighted the girl. This went on day by day for a fortnight. The eve ming before Biggs was to leave for his home, Bim went over to eat supper with Ann at the tavern. #ss
 It happened that Jack Kelso had found Abe sitting alone with his Blackstone in offut's store that after noon. .... h#
 "Mr. Kelso, did you ever hear what ED Zane said about the general sub- ject of sons-in-lawT Abe asked.
 "Never-but I reckon 1t would be wise and possibly apropos," said Kelso. N...
 "He said that a son-in-law was curious kind O property" Abe began. "Ye know says Eb, If ye have a hoss that's tricky an dangerous an wuth less than nothin', ye can give him away CT kill him, but if ye have a son-in-law that's wuthless, nobody else will have him an it's ag'in' the law to kill him. Fust ye know ye've got a critter on yer hands that kicks an won't work an has to be fed an liquored three times day an is wuth a million dollars less than nothin''"
 There was a moment of silence.
 'hCh d hEulll ilo aSoNAof it's better to add ten dollars than to subtract a million," said Abe. That's about as simple as adding up the weight O three small hogs"
 "What a we'll of wisdom you are, Abel" said Kelso. DO you know any thing about this young Missourian who is shining up to BimT' .
 q only know that he was drink ing man up to the time he landed here and that he threatened Traylor with his whip and got thrown against the side of a barn-plenty hard. He's kind of American king, and don't like kings. They're nice to look at, but generally those that have married lem have had one h-l of a time."
 Kelso rose and went home to sup per. .a...

 Kelso answered promptly: We are glad to welcome you here. but we can- not entertain such a proposal, hatter- ing as 1t is. Our daughter is too young to think of marriage. Then. sir, we know very little about you, and may be pardoned if add that 1t does not recommend your
 The young man was surprised. He had not expected such talk from a ladder climber. He looked at Kelso, groping for an answer. Then

 And now and then something that you don't want" said Kelso, bit net tied by his persistence. "You ought to think of her happi- ness. She is too sweet and beautiful for a home like this" ! There was an awkward moment of silence. The young man said good night and opened the door.
 "rn go with you,' said Kelso.
 He went with Mir. Biggs to the tav- ern and g6t his daughter and returned home with her.
 Mrs. ,Kelso chfded her husband for being hard on MT. Biggs.

 As Eliphalet Biggs was going down the south road next morning he met Bim on her pony near the schoolhouse, returning from the field with her COW. They stopped.
