Cy DONALD ALLEN, Moses Flint, 1a r, had gone out on the veranda after breakfast to take a few whiffs at his pipe when his wife heard him grunt and looked out from the dining rooin to inquire: “What's busted now?” “Do you see that?" as he pointed down the highway. “It's that gal coming in her 'lcctrie runabout.” “And do you see that?" he asked, as he pointed to a spot in the road in front of the house, *Our spotted hog.” “And do you remember what hap- pened four weeks ago?" “She ran over the hog.” “And two weeks ago?” “She ran over him again,” “And now she's going to do the same thing for the third time. Yes, | sir; because I stood up to her and | told her that folks couldn't go around the country running over what they pleased and grinning over it, she's come to show her defiance.” “You said you'd have her arrested if she did it agin,” said the wife, *“And won't 1? By smoke, but you watch Moses Flint! If she so much as grazes that hog with a wheel 'tllere'll be something doing!" “Don’t let her scare you, Moses, with any of her big talk.” “Scare me! l'd like to see woman that could de it!” Moses lounged down to the gate and lcaned over it to glance at the hog wallowing in the dust. The on- coming electric kept to the middle of the highway, and the girl who was driving it wasn't paying very striet attention, “By gum!™ “Don’t shoo him up, Moses!” the wife from the veranda, The hog slept on. Thirty (more and it happened. —an exclamation--two yells—and the 'Imu went limping away, and the farmer sprang forward and waved [the electric from overturning. “Ie=l=didn’t see him!” stammered the frightened girl as the muttered the farmer, called seconds squeal she caught her | breath., ! “No, of course not.

That's the third time you have run | over that hog, and each time you did | it a-purpose. You wanted to show that you had all the rights there was, and that 1 had none. Well, it's three times and out.” “If the hog has been injured I will pay for it.” “He's been hurt, can’t say how bad. He may be dead tomorrer morning. Then there's the shock to his feelin's, He isasleep on his own land, feclin’ and all to once you bangs him.” “1 will pay for his feelings, too!™ stiffly replied the girl “You'll sure have to. Let's see. You've run over that hog three times It orter be wuth five dollars a time.” “What? Fifteen dollars for the hog, and he not badly hurt!™ ex- claimed the owner of the electric. “It orter be twenty.” “It's simply extortion, and I won't pay it! My brother Fred will drive out here and settle the bill. Stand | clear of the machine, sir!™ “Don’'t you get excited, miss. There's a speed law on this road and vou've been breaking it. I'm going to have you before the justice!™ “But 1 was not speeding.” “Lucinda, how many miles an hour?” shouted the farmer to his wife. “About twenty-five, )@se&" “It wasn't over five.” “Don’t dispute us, young woman. You are in a bad scrape and hadn't | better make it wuss by any sass. I'll | get in there and well go to Judge ! Brown's.” “You'll not get in here, sir!™ “Oh, that's it, eh?” The wife came running down with [ a rope, and the vehicle was pushed to | the fence and tled there. Then the | farmer said: “I'll go on foot, and the judge will ' tine you double for cutting up over | it. Hello, who's this?” It was a young man in an auto. He brought his machine to a stop, and after lifting his cap to the young lady, he asked the farmer: “Been an accident? of course, hut seeure, | e — ——— o I feul breath LAKLAND, FLA,, 'nr ":.< v about u. @hv he'll be d law.” il at the girl but she made fut fincd ma ¢ le, though T have never made ¢ arres continued the farmer, “and 1 dppulue you, voung man, to hold this gal prisoner for me’ till 1 ¢ 't back with the judge.

If you let her escape—" “Oh, I understand—" ~If you want any help holler to the old woman up there on the veranda.” “I will” Moses Flint started off, and there was a period of embarrassment for the two strangers sitting in their respective machines. The young man wanted to say something, but didn't know what until the girl burst out laughing. He laughed with her. “It's funny,” she whispered. “Did you kill the hog?”" he asked. “No. He scared me worse than 1 did him.” “But the farmer wanted damages?” “It is regular robbery.” “I had to pay three dollars for an |» old hen I Killed the other day, but Ik am not going to sce you robbed.
