Hereford. on the contrary, bud observ- knew by instinct that she wouldn't lose her lover for the world.

The best he could do with him was to gain his consent that he (Hereford) should see Miss Troop and play the rest of the game directly. Warren could not wait, so, leaving him, Hereford sallied off to beard the loness in her den. Within bhalf an hour the messenger returned. “Well?" asked the lover ansiously. *I found her in." “What did you say?"* *1 told her that you had sent me to tell her that you had lost all respect for her.” “Oh, my good gracious: You've done me up.

He's a buman hog, and if bhe ever goes to heaven | want to go somewhere el For two weeks after that the two deacons nodded coldly to each other whenever they met, and it gradually became known to Bidwell that their relations were strained. Then one morning Deacon Goodhue set out to drive five hogs over to the weigbing scales. He had to pass the other deacon’s house, and as he came along the gate was open. and all the bogs made a rush for it.

Abner Crossman, Who had known both parties for thirteen years, swore that he had known Dea- con Goodhue to fall off a haystack, get mired in a swamp and fight bum- blebees for half an hour without losing the smile on his face, and he could not believe that he had beguu this fuss.
