NOEL JOHNSON. 66% OOK heah, Eller—don’t look too skeerd ’caise I call yet Eller—you hain’t no Miss Eller to me, my gal, ’cause ye been off ter the Salyersville cemitery, an’ come home toatin’ er passel of Bluegrass airs. Yas, Eller, I jist rode over heah this mornin’ ter fin’ out ef you want ter smash up that leetle contrack we writ in our hearts afore you went off, and sealed with a kiss?” 3 ‘The girl at first widened her pretty brown eyes, as if shocked at his uncouth speech,, but she met frank, honest, exacting eyes that nothing could conceal except darkness itself. She colored, and, with a confused “Ah-he-6m,” turned her face. Silence continued for about a minute, when the young man continued in firm tones, a note of pathos running through them: “Somehow or other, when I hearn you was goin’ off, I felt like you’d never come back to me no “‘more—not as little Eller. ‘The nateral nater of you—clear, sweet, an’ bright as our mountin cricks—would return bemuddled to simple eyes like mine. I’m not layin’ in no blame to you. I allers thought you, compar’d to me, a little git- tar beside a gourd fiddle. But I couldn’t | help lovin’ you—my heart jist run toward you just like a dry chip to a suckhole. I knowed, though, when you got ’way off among town folks, you’d look at them ar fine hair’d doods, an’ them across their shoulders to the memory of rude Fred Cap- field, an’ it would make you curl yer lip an’ laugh. I know thar ain’t nothin’ about me to catch an’ hold a gal like you, an’ I Jove you too weil, an’ I think I’ve got a leetle bit too much spunk about me, to go draggin’ atter you like a briar, when you want ter iree yerself. I’ve seed the day it would be like a shot in my heart to be turned off, but I’ve been bracin’ myself for the lick ever since you went away. I’ve got all my ’rangements made, an’ in a month from now I’ll leave for Kansas, where I’ve got an uncle who offers me a place in his store. So, Eller, ef you say the word, I’ll take my medicine the best I kin, an’ never bother you no more.” When he had conchided Ella looked up at | him with a smile—a frank, bantering, kiss- able smile. Affectation was gone from her manner and speech. A “Fred,” she said, with the genuine frank- ness of mountain natures, “I still think more of you than I ever-did of any other man, I deplore your deficiencies in the way of education; but you are worth a thousand ‘doods,” as you call the town boys. Still, Fred, I’m sorry to say, you are not my ideal, and unless I so consid- ered you, I don’t think I could live happily with you. I don’t think I shall ever marry. I’m too romantic in my nature—too exact- ing in the demand for qualities in my hus- band that don’t exist in these prosaic times. My reading has spoiled me, I know, I live in times long gone. My lover is your- self, but taken back a thousand or two thou- The modern man, of_all de- grees, is too commonplace for my taste. Hundreds of times I have dreamed of you as my lover, but in every instance you were either a Roman youth, or a knight of the middle ages, with armor on, going forth to do deeds for your lady love which the modern man could not even dream of do- ing. Of course, such a man, outside of books, I shall never find, and unless my na- ture changes as the years go by, I shall never marry. Now, Fred, I’ve told you truly the state of my mind, and you will be pleased some day that yop missed getting such a girl as I am for a wife. Such love as I have, however, belongs to you, but you know your- eelf it isn’t the kind to keep house on. Oh, if we could only go back to the grand old ROMULUS. | DULUTH.

Roman days, or to the days when knight- hood was in flower!” Fred arose at the conclusion of this novel speech, and, dipping his yellow curls, said: “Good-by, Eller: ” . “Say, mam, whar’s them old histories that that ar bow-leggod teacher left heer two years ago?” said Fried Capfield to his mother after he had arrived home. “They’re out, piled away in the smoke- house, somewhar among a lot of old trum- the la: 1y of each month Wa.

With some labor he read the Roman history as far as the rape of the Sabines, and, with a great grin and chuckle of exultation he laid it aside. Then he took up the history of the Norman con- quest, but dropped it when he read how great King William, when a duke in Nor- mandy, won his exasperating wife. Then he threw it aside, and, plunging his hande deep in his pockets, strode to and fro across the floor, his lips struggling to smile and whistle at the same time. “Mam,” said Fred, early the next morn- ing, as heappeared in his best “duds” at the door of the smokehouse, where his mother was compounding some soap grease, “I want you to drop yer soap-makin’ ter-day an’ go ter cookin’ up some good things.” / “Why, what’s up?” “Never you mind, ole mammy!

Fred then strode rapidly out to the yard gate, where his big bay horse stood nerv- ously pawing the earth. He mounted him and went with a rain of hoofs down the hard road toward the home of Ella McCoy. Riding up in front of the house, he yelled “Hallo!” John MeOoy, big brother of Ella’s, came to the door. “Tell Eller to come out to the fence a moment,” quietly spoke the horseman. ~ Ella responded, interrogation points in her eyes. “Step close to the fence a moment, Eller; I’m goin’ away, an’ I want to tell yer sum- thin’.” She stepped up, her face quite pale, when Fred, making a huge hook of his left arm, instantly caught her around the waist with it, lifted her up in front of him, drove spurs in his horse and dashed furiously away. Ella squirmed and screamed, but the big giant pressed her against his great ehest and smiled gently. “Oh, papa and the boys will kill you!” she yelled. “Possibly; but the Sabines didn’t kill folks like me, nor did the Romans you brag about. Besides, people don’t often kill sons- in-law, no how.” “Oh, you. villain!—boo-hoot — I ‘won’t marry you!” . “No; the squire that’s waitin’ down at the forks of the road will do that for you! Stop yer snubbin’! I’m a Roman an’ er William the Conqueror both at once!” ~ The little woman could do no more. She Was conquered. She had caused this law- Tessness, and she began to laugh. Then, looking up inthe fine face of her modern knight, she threw ‘a white arm about his big, brown nedie~Globe Dorocrat. : ME oon ok PrRaAdNk F.
