PORTER. 0000000000000000000000000 The gossips of Gloversville had it that Deacon Pegram, widower, and Mrs. Mary Moreton, widow, were en- gaged to be married. The gossips were a little préemature. The couple had been courting for & year, but they were not engaged yet. With all respect for the widow, it may be said that it wasn’t her fault. Dea- con Pegram was a careful, prudent man. When the deacon married he select- ed a woman who looked so meek and humble that he believed she would not resent a box on the ear occasionally. The first time he started the boxing game he discovered that he had made an awful blunder. It was his ears that got the cuffing. He was, there- fore, going slow in regard to the widow. Both the deacon and the widow were members of the same church, but there was a difference in the way they lived their religlons. The deacon be- leved in all sorts of hellfires for a man that went out to gather huckle- berries on a Sunday, or halted to see the end of a dog fight on any week day, and the widow figured that she could even attend a straw-ride or a barn dance and yet secure her golden barp when the time came to call for it. The deacon knew that she had lib- eral ideas, but he had let that matter alone. All being ready at last, he called to bring about the climax. At the gate he was almost turned to stone. He caught the strains of a fid- dle from within the house. The deacon braced against the shock and knocked on the door. The widow opened it. She had the fiddle in her hand as bold as brass. “Why good evening, deacon.” He glared at her in silence. “] was just practising my exercises. What's the matter?” “That—that fiddle!” “Yes, it's a fiddle, and I am going to learn to play. You seem astonished.” “A fiddle here in this house!"” he gasped. “The Widow Moreton de- scending to such depravity! Why— Wwhy—" “I don't see your point, deacon,” she sald, as she laid the instrument |1y aside. “What is there wrong about my learning to play the fiddle?” “It is played at dances!” “If you came here this evening to kick up a fuss over a harmless fiddle, you can go away again!” “I can, and will! Thank heaven, it 18 not too late! We are not pledged!” “And I, too, am thankful for that!” And Deacon Pegram stalked out. After a week he thought to strength- en his position by going to his pastor | and asking: “Pastor, doesn't our religion teach us that the fiddle is a thing to beware of?” “No, I can hardly say that it does,” was the reply. “And it isn't one of the wiles of sa- tan?” “No more than the piano or the harp.” “But if a woman learns to play the fiddle?” persisted the deacon. “Many of them do.” “But, pastor, the Bible don’t mention that they have fiddles in heaven. It only speaks of harps.” “I know, Brother Pegram, but I'm not so sure that they didn't call a fid- dle a harp in those ancient days.” The deacon went home and kicked the woodshed door because the dog wasn't handy. The good man struggled with him- self for a couple of days and then de- cided to meander past the widow's house. He would not stop, but just meander. But he did stop when he reached the gate. He was going right on when he saw that the upper hinge was loose. He was gazing at it when | p| the woman came to the door and said: “Oh, deacon, are you going to take me to the circus next week?” “W-h-a-t!" he shouted; and when she had repeated her query he ex- claimed: “The fiddle first and the circus next!” “But what's the matter with the cir- cus?” “What's the matter with everybody going to the bottomless pit together! Widow Moreton, this is too much—too much!” “But I shall go by myself!” And go she did, when the day came, and the deacon was so mad about it that he wouldn't even stand at his gate and see the elephants go past. He continued mad for three days and then went to his pastor. “Did you preach a sermon against that circus last Sunday? I was not feeling well, and was not at church.” “Why, no, I didn’t,” was the reply. “Did you warn the people that satan was luring them?” “Brother Pegram, I was there with my whole family!” . “You—you can't mean it “But T do. Yes, we were there and saw both the circus and the menag- erie, and if satan was around he was in a back cage somewhere! And I am , going to the ball game tomorrow!"” Deacon Pegram walked | Ad said: “Widow, I love you “Yes?” “Will you marry a—a fool?” “Do a fiddle and the circus go ! him?" she asked. “Yes, and mebbe a barn dance!™ “Then I say ‘yes.'” straight from the pastor’s house to that of the Widow Moreton's, and without wait- [ ing to remove his hat or sit down he | with | ! roses in pale blue and pink.
