But it takes two to make a bargain, as she presently began to perceive; she might refuse to be his neighbor, but he certainly had every intention of being hers. One morning she found on her back porch a basket of such grapes as grew nowhere but in the Dayton garden “The horrid wretch,” she cried. “not to give me an opportunity to refuse them.

He was, in fact, a spelling prodigy. What would the boys and girls of today, who grumble over their daily 'stint of 20 words think of a child not yet six years old who could actually spell every word in the language! That is what the young Horace is said to have been able to do His schooling began In his fourth year, and the art of spelling at once hecame a passion with him, In school and out, he kent incessantly at its study. Hour after hour he would lie on the floor. spelling over all the dif- ficult words he could find in the few Books that the family owned. The fame of his prowess spread Naturally, Horace was the first one chosen at spelling matehes. He had a lisping, whining voice, and spelled his words with the utmost confidence Sometimes in wivter, when the snow drifts were g0 deep that one of the bhig bhovs had to take him to the schoo! house on his back, the little white-haired fellow would drop asleep between turns. When his word came round, his neighhor would nudge him anxiously; he would wake, spell his word, and drop asleep again at once So great was the boy's reputation as a student of unusual powers that the selectment of a reizhboring town in passing a rule forbidding the at- tendance at the local school of any pupil from outside the township, hn'x ored him by adding the clause, * cepting only Horace Greeley!"— .

The driver didn't stop to see what damage he had done, but put on a little more speed. Luckily, the woman was not much | hurt, and a policeman asked her name nd address. She refused to give it The policeman then put out after the machine. “What are you going to do?” asked the victim. “Arrest the driver of that car” an- swered the officer. “Oh, pleage don’t! iy good, and it won't do me any good The driver of that car was my hus- | runaway bab & began | band.
