LUtloNolllo Cnpnola was the prot-
tlcat girl , nccordlng to the decision of
the whole coinitiunlty , barrinp young
Indies of lior own nge , to bo found In
ttownn county , cnBtcrn Kentucky. Old
married men wcro inoro outspoken In
her praises than the younger ones the
Inttor being somewhat restrained by the
dread of having their true feelings sus-
noctcd. They were each nnd every one
In love with her , or , at least wcro ready
to bo , at the faintest signal from her
magnetic oycn.
Old Tobo Smock , a man of about G8 ,
was loud In her praises whenever , from
n group of churchyard Idlers ho could
BCO her pass. "I toll ye , " ho said ono
Sunday , outside the church houeo.undor
eoino trccH.wheroa group had gathered.
"If I war young agin , I'd never stop till
I'd cotch hcrshoro , ; an' If the ole woman

"That's jist hit , " spoke old Aaron
Matlack , in further comment , "tho
yongollors now days , ain't got the grit
what they lister have in our days , Tobo.
When wo were yong fellers , like those

"Your jest about right thar , "spoko
old Mace Hodden. "My old wofmin
thinks shocan't last six months longer. "
All laugh'cU.
"Mines ays , " spoke old Abe Tumble-
son , with a sly wink at old Tobo ; "mino
Bays the doctor that's trcatin' her ain't
doin' her no good. Sho's a gittin' wusa
all the time. " All laughed.
"Tho young men now is kinder cow
ardly tor what what they used tor bo , "
spoke old Mace. "They seem to dread
the ole man Cnpflohl ; and they do say
ho orders ever one oft that goes thar. "
"Yes , an' kicks fcomo uv 'em oil , " re
turned olil Abe , as ho shot a glance at a
young man named Homer Cowden , who
eat near by chewing a spear of grass , his
face covered with an absent-minded ex
pression , All laughed and looked at
Homer , but the latter was unconscious
of the personal import of the remark
until old Abe poked him with the too of
his shoo to call his attention , and said ,
"Olo man Caplleld ain't very clever
turward the young Toilers that goes to
BOO his gal , is ho ? "
"I don't know how ho is now sir , "
was the cool reply.
"lie kicked you outon his yard once ,
didn't ho ? "
"No , sir , " was the reply.
"Out of his house thcnV"
"No , sir. "
"Well , ho kicked you ? "
"Yes , but it was out on his porch. "
it's a terrible bad stylo. You ortor
know that not ono of you over seed the
day when you could spark a gal like
her. An' now I want tor toll yo , I'm no
more the coward you think mo. T can
whoon every man on this ground any
two at a time an' the first remark I
hear about Nell again , no matter how
old the mouth may bo , my list goes into
It ! "
If n flash of lightning from the clear
nky above had darted down at thut time
the surprise .could have been no greater.
It waft a full minute after "ho had
ceased to speak before any of thorn
could recover sufileiontly to speak. At
last old Mace arose and called for his
on uTom , " old Tobo got up and called
for his son "Bill,1' old Abe struggled to
his foot and yelled for his son "Jim. "
The three sons came up with a ques
tioning look in their respective oyoa. In
the mcantimo , Homer had boon unbut
toning his collar nnd rolling up his
Bleovcs.
Old Mace spoke to his son Tom :
"Tat ar darn coward , " motioning to
ward Ilomoiy "has boon insultin' your
ole pap. "
Old Abe said to his son Jim : "That
ar low-down cuss has abused yor poor ole
father. "
Old Tobo spoke to his son Bill : "That
ar low-down , God-forBanin1 haw-oator
has hurt the feolina uv yor poor ole
daddy that worked to raise yo ! "
Each "boy" looked toward this man
who had boon abusing "their poor old
fathers" with eyes of dee i threatening.
'Homor looked back with eyes of do-
flanco. He was perfectly transformed.
.Prom the languid indllToront-looklng
person ho had always appeared before ,
wo now see a man with rigid muscles ,
shoulders thrown back , eyes -blazing ,
lip curling and nostrils throbbing , his
Wliolo form instinct with impatient
Btrongth and resolution.
His magnificent proportions , ills con
temptuous lip , his eyes full of challenge
all so opposed to the supposed charac
ter of the man , that it tended for a min
ute to shock and bewilder his throaton-
ors. They looked , as a pack of wolves
might appear , when , supposing they
were attacking a disabled bullalo , they
BOO him suddenly spring up , lower His
horns and bellow out defiance.
The boys were not truly bravo , but
they had a great deal of vanity , and
now they made a simultaneous dash lor
their provoking enemy. Quick as
lightning the mighty list , with the
swiftness of a stone from a catapault ,
shot out , and was halted against Bill's
face. Almost Instantly , Jim'fi ohook
stopped a loft handor. Tom's stomach
received a well directed kick. Instantly
the three scrambled to their foot , only
logo down again after the previous
fashion.
At tills point streams of people came
pouring out of the church-house ; knives
and pistols began to poop out from their
hiding places ; curses tilled the air ; men
who did not understand the matter
purged around and around , making
breathless inquiries ; women screamed
nnd children howled ; still , assaults were
being attempted on the magnificent
young giant , who now seemed the very
body and eoul of pugilism. Every man
who rushed for him , instantly rushed
back. Finally , old Tobo'a aon , Bill ,
finding that llbts were useless In such a
contest , drew a pistol , cocked it and
directed it toward the hero. Ills linger
was on the trigger , when ho felt a cold
Bonsatlon at the butt of the oar. Wheel
ing around , his eye behold a pistol
cocked , pointed and ready for duty.
The bnml that hold It belonged to Nellie -
lie Caplleldl
Her face was white , her eyes were
flaming , and her lips were drawn.
"Just ( lure I just darot" she oxclaimed.
"Don't raibo the pistol , or you'll lower
it never to lift it again. Stand awayall
of you cowards ! Don't move toward
him again. " As she spoke the muzzle
of the pistol described n clrclo , and
from that threatening clrclo every man
hastened.
For Bovoral moments alienee closed
every mouth. Surprise , wonder nnd
questioning astonishment were ex
pressed In every faco. Thou low mur
murs broke out , at ) persons who had not
understood the trouble , or its cause , be
gan to make inquiries from their equally
Ignorant uolghbora. All these who hud
been actively engaged in the fight ,
gathered in n knot outside the nmln
crowd nnd consulted together all except -
copt the here the former coward , Homer
Cowdon. Ho walked oil , outside , across
the road , down n little ombankmontinto
the bed of the creek. At the little stream
ho paused , stooped down , and began to
wash Ma hands and faco. Ho hadn't '
scon that a person closely followed him.
After ho had washed his face and dried
it on his pocket handkerchief , ho loaned
back on his elbow and rested the side of
his head on his hand. Ho was full of
oppressive feelings , consequent on his
newly formed character. His emotions ,
so novel , so sudden , so violent , almost
smothered him. His breast heaved , nnd
a deep slch broke from his lips. Then ,
to his great astonishment , ho began to
weep. Ills great form was shaken like
a dead loaf under the storm In his breast.
Whllo still ills oycs were stooped In
tears , ho felt a hand on his shoulder.
Ho instantly sprang to his feet , swept
the tears away with his hand , and
looked. Nelllo Capllold stood
before him. Her oycs were
full of tears , and her lips trembled.
"Homer " she caressingly
, spoke , ,
niter a long pause , "Can you over for
give mo and love mo again11 ; Oh , do for
give ! I had thought you was a coward ,
Homer. It nearly killed mo to give you
up , but I never could have married a
coward. Oh , forgive mo for thinking
you was onol You are a noble horo. I
Hat at the window and heard all that
occurred out there. How can I over
reward you ? "
"By marrying mo now. "
" ? "
"Right now
"Yes ; the preacher hasn't loft yot. "
"All right. "
Ijost A. llnuhclor.
Huston Glebe.
Young Asplnwall-Jones was angry
and ho stalked into the clubhouse and
ordered something to quiet his nerves.
Ho was in love with the glorious Miss
Paulson and there was a lever who was
moro favored than ho.
Ho wouldn't have minded so much if
it hadn't boon so very mysterious. Ho
didn't know who the favored lever was.
It was only that morning that ho
know any ono else was in the Hold. Ho
had called on Miss Paulson at her cottage -
tago and was ushered unceremoniously
into the library.
When the footman announced his
name ho entered and found to his utter
dismay that there was tobacco smoke in
the air , a door was slammed and a pair
of masculine boots were just disappsar-
Ing.
Ing.Jt
Jt was very ill-bred in the man , who
ever ho was to smoke in a ladies' library ,
but that wasn't exactly what troubled
young Asplnwall-Jones. Ho didn't like
the Idea that a man was on sulllciont
terms of intimacy to smoke in Miss
Paulson's library.
And so his morning call on that young
lady was not particularly pleasant ,
although as ho now recalled it she was
very niro to him and all that , and treated
him in a delightfully frank manner.
That was what charmed him so much
her frankness. There was a candor
in her largo innocent blue eyes and a
truthfulness in the tones of her voice
that seemed to young Aspinwall-Jones
very attractive. Then she was so very
tall and so very graceful and so very
clever that ho quite foil in love with
hor. though she had boon in Lonox
scarcely a week. She was a very hand
some woman and attracted , a good deal
of attention , but very f'bw people ap
peared to know hor. It was odd , too ,
considering her beauty nnd evident erood
brooding.
"Sho seems very nice , " Mrs. Leland
remarked to ono of her friends at a
tennis party , as she watched the grace
ful figure of the girl Hitting about the
tennis court , "but I don't thing I shall
allow mv son Archie to have much to
say to hor. She may bo very fascinat
ing and all that , but wo know so little
about her , and I think at times hor.
manner is a little bold , to say the least. "
But young Aspinwall Jonod didn't
think so at all. She was an agreeable
girl and a now girl. If she didn't know
many people it wasn't ho1 * fault. And if
she wasn't ' exactly in the swim how
could her people manage to got a cottage -
tago in Lonox and how could she manage -
ago to got invited everywhere ?
Neverthelessat many dancosalthough
Miss Paulson scorned to bo invited , she
received very little attention. She
know very few menand , so young Aspjn-
wall-.Tonos had her pretty much to him-
self.
self."Do
"Do you know , " ho said to her ono
night after a waltz , "I think you are
awfully pretty. "
She merely answered this remark by
a shako of her head , and asknowlodgod
the compliment by a dazzling smile tnnt
showed a sot of creamy tooth. "
"Yes , " ho continued , boldly , "I do
really. And I like hou very much. "
Ho might have got farther if his par
ticular friend "Cholly" Peabody , had
not looked across the room at him in a
warning way and started to como to
him.
him.Ho noticed Peabody nodded slightly
to Miss Paulson and then locking arms
with him they strolled into a conserva
tory.
"You'.io very young , " began Peabody ,
"and very pimple , " ho added.
Aspinwall Jones was so wildly happy
that ho did not deny cither of these as
sertions. Ho still remembered a wo
man's smile and ho broke away from his
companion and started away.
"Whore are you going ? " naked Pea-
body.
' Oh , In hero ! Oh , I say , Cholly , old
boy , do you know what it is to bo in
love ? "
"Idiot"exclaimed Poabody. "You'ro
in a land of dreams. People never are
in love nowadays ; they merely got mar
ried. "
"But I'm in love , " remarked the
other.
"With yourself , " put in Peabody
cynically.
"No , sir , by Jove ! With the prettiest
girl you over laid your eyes on. If you
had boon here this morning and noon mo
with her before you wouldn't talk that
way. But I'm glad that you have como ,
for you may presently congratulate mo
that is , 1 hope BO. "
"Foolish "
boyl"
"You are qulto right , old follow , but
sho'a adorable she's an angell Sho's
too oed for mo. "
"Don't bo too sure of that. You don't
want to got married anyhow. I shouldn't
advise It. You'ro nn Idiot to think of
such a thing. Look at mo , old fellow. "
Asptnwnll did look at him , and was duly
impressed with his single eyeglass , his
hair parted accurately in the mlddlonnd
his snub nose. "Look at mo. Do you
think you will over go to my wedding ? I
think not. I'm a bachelor , and you ro-
mcmber , old fellow , you are whh mo , as
they say at the Bowery. Wo are 'in it'
together. You remember our compact.
I marry , you marry. I remain single ,
you remain single. Don't break your
word. "
"O , that was such a silly compact. "
broke In Asplnwall-Joncs. "I was a small
child when wo made lu I didn't know
any bettor. I hadn't mot Miss Paulson
then. "
"MUe Paulson ? So sho's the chnrmor.
Why , my dear follow , you don't want to
marry hor. She isn't very well known
about here , She's not ia society much ,
nnd she evidently hasn't much money. I
wouldn't marry n. girl I didn't know any
thing about , and besides I don't scowtmt
there Is about her to attract ft man of
your good tasto. "
Young Aspinwall-.Tonos pulled the
straggling ends of his charming mus
tache nnd glared savagely at Poabody.
"O , sho's v heavenly cro.iture , " ho
Bsxld , with forvor. "Such oycs , BO handsome -
some , nnd you know , old fellow , I always
adored handsome girls. And then she
treats mo so nicely ; she doesn't think I
am n little boy. And she Isn't a bit
haughty ; nnd , well , she is perfection. "
But nftor that morning call young
Asplnwall-Jonos changed his tnlnu. Ho
wondered how a girl cared to entertain
callers who were ashamed to bo scon.
Ho loved her just as much , to bo suro.
Perhaps ho was misjudging hor. It
might bo n long lost brother , or some
thing of that sort. But why should this
"brother" bo afraid to meet him ?
Nothing particularly odd happened
until ono nl'ght at a gorman at the
pretty assembly rooms near Curtlss'a.
Aspinwall Jones had good luck tiiat
night , and pluclccd up courage enough
to ask his divinity to marry him.
Ills mother had warned him if ho did
anything of the sort she would never
forgive him , and his sister had stronglv
advised him not to do it , but Miss Paul
son looked so beautiful in a charming
toilet of white , with n faint color In her
cheeks and a shining light in her eyes ,
that ho qulto forgot all his mother had
threatened.
And presently ho burst into his
friend's room at the hotel and em
braced him effusively.
"Congratulate mo , old follow ! " '
"Er-what ? " gasped Peabody , unclasp
ing his friend's arms from his neck , and
taking off a rallied collar nnd looking at
it regretfully.
"I'm t.lio happiest man in the world ! "
"That's a pretty strong.statomont.1
"But I am , you Know. "
"Has she accepted you ? "
"Well , not exactly that , you know.
She said I mitrht call on her tomorrow
morning anyhow. "
"What is there so wildlv happy in
that ? "
"Oh , I hinted at something , and the
way she looked nt mo I know she moans
to accept mo. "
"Seems to mo you are taking a good
do.il for prantod. "
Then Peabody wont on to induce his
friend to give up Miss Paulson. Ho re
iterated their agreement , made long
ago , to remain bachelors , and finally said
that ho thought Asplnwall-Joncs was a
man of his word.
"You scorn to take a great deal of. in
terest in this thing , " said that young
man , presently. "If I want to got mar
ried I will , and that foolish compact wo
raado when jusl out of college doesn't
bother mp in the least , I am going to
marry Miss Paulson ! "
"Tho devil you are ! " exclaimed Pea
body , with vigor. At this young Aspin
wall-Jones left the room abruptly , slam
ming the door behind him.
" 1 thought Cholly was a fellow who
would sympathize with a man , " ho mut
tered , as lib went to his own room. "But
something is the rnatler with him , and I
wonder what. "
Youncr Aspinwall-Joncs was moro per
plexed than over when ho wont out of
the hotel the next morning to got into
his carriage to drive to the Paulsons us
ho saw Poibody's cob standing there.
Ho had driven but a short distance
when Peabody came tearing past him ,
his horse going like mad.
"What is the rush , old follow ? " ho
shouted to him.
But Peabody only turned a very paleface
face at him and smiled as ho waved a
hand containing a cigarette ho was
smoking.
The smoke was wafted back by the
wind , nnd Aspinwall-Jones wondered
whore ho had smelt that particular odor
before. It was an odd brand of cigar
ettes Peabody smoked , and the odor
from them was particularly pungent.
Then Aspin wall-Jones gathered the
reins in his bands and jerked them de
cisively.
The mysterious man who had disap
peared so suddenly from Miss Paulson's
library , smoked the same kind of cigarettes -
ottos !
Aspinwall-Jonos urged his horse on
faster , and the minutes that elapsed before
fore ho reached the pretty cottage of the
Paulsons were occupied by him in think
ing over everything that had happened
the past four weeks.
His mind was racked with alternate
hopes and foars.
Could it bo that Peabody had known
Miss Paulson before she came to Lenox ?
But what if ho had ? Ho know very
many girls , and it was not all unlikely.
And then young Aspinwall-Jonos
thought of the beautiful girl horBolf ,
with her guileless blue eyes and her
baby-like features. And would she some
time bo his ?
Ho was so occupied in a blissful drpnm
of future happiness that ho narro'wly
escaped talcing a wheel off as ho turned
in at the gateway , nnd the carriage so
tipped that the groom behind jumped to
the ground inatl'right.
Ho got out of his carriage n. short dis
tance from the house to walk across a
path ho well know to the houso. Many
times ho and his beautiful Miss Paulson
had strolled along it , and ho thought if
ho wont to the house that way it would
bo nn onion of good luck.
Ho reached the house and was told
that Miss Paulson was in the library.
Ho started oil quickly to find hor. and
the servant again announced his name
and again ho found her there. This time
she was alone and there was no odor of
cigarette smoke In the air. Outside , up
and down the driveway , a groom was
walking a badly blown chestnut cob.
But Aspinwall-Jonos did not hco this.
Ho was aware only that Miss Paulson
had taken his hand cordially and asked
him to sit down.
Ho took a small square box from his
pocket and joyfully laid it down on the
table and pulled away nervously at the
glove on his loft hand.
"It was very good of you to lot mo
cpmo here this morning , " ho bogan.
"O , not at all , " was the answer. "I
am always glad to see my friends. "
Ho thought she put an accent on the

lust word nndwrns thus cast down sev

Ho thought ofmaylng something about
wishing to hoi moro than n friend , but
somehow ho could not. Ho looked long
ingly at the square box ho had laid on
the tnblo and tlibn at Miss Paulson.
There was a iiir-awny look in her eyes
and she was glancing toward a door
nervously.
Young Aspin-wall-Joncs thought she
looked bored , nnd ho began clearing his
throat.
"I or MlsiC Paulson O , I don't like
that , it Boundri too formal" and ho
floundered helplessly until a nolso by
the door arrested him , and , happy and
smiling , in burst Poabodv.
"Hollo , old follow ! " ho said to the be
wildered Asplnwall-Joncs.
"Whoro did you drop from ? " ho man
aged to stammnr.
"I have been In the drawing room
talking with Mrs. Paulson for a few
moments , " was the answer. "And , " ho
continued , nodding to the girls , "It all
right. "
Aspinwall-.Tonos scarcely knew what
was going on. It seemed odd that Peabody -
body should have the run of the house
In such a familiar way and talk so confi
dentially to Miss Paulson.
There was an aggressive air of happi
ness about his friend tlmtho did not like
and that struck him with a chill of com
ing 111 luck.
"Wo needn't stand on ceremony with
AspInwall-JoneB , " continued Peabody in
answer to a wnrninir look from the girl.
"He's an old friomfof both of us. "
"I do not think I quite understand , ' '
said Asplnwall-Jones , looking from the
smiling face of Peabody to the contented
countenance of Mlso Paulson.
"It's very simple. " answered the man ,
"Mis Paulson and I have been engaged
to bo married for the past , throe months.
"For nn instant Aspinwall-Jonos could
scarcely bolivo his card. Then ho know
why Peabody had advised him not to
have t do with girl ; then ho know how
she had played with him when engaged to
another man. And ho was so much
occupied in thinking of how his trusted
friend had played him false and how
a woman had deceived him that ho did
not hear Peabody's uneasy excuses.
"
"I thought I" would euro you , old
follow , of Ilirtlng with every pretty girl
that comes along. And you musn't
blame her , for she couldn't help it if you
did likelier , and you must forgive her
and mo and give us your congratufation. "
IIo wrung his friend's hand , but it loll
limp to his side.
Young Aspinwall-Joncs looked from
one to to other.
"I wish you joy. " ho said.
Then with a gesture that was pathetic
in its dignity , no picked up the little
box from the table and put it sadly away
in his pocket , and without looking back
he left them al'ono in the room.
