Misses Helen nnd Veronica Stuart,
of Lexington, nro expected lioro next
week to visit at tho Stuck and Tighe
homo.
J. H. Connor, chief clerk to Supt. of
M. P. nnd M. Kailrond was hore Wed
nesday whilo enrouto o Ogdon to
spond a week or more.
Certain pomms wore always won
ilerlnjf why linker did not Hinllo or
laugh, but he was born that way and
couldn't help it.
When Mrs. Hnkor died, lifter iniiny
years of quiet life, nho loft n danghtor,
Minnie, Hoventcen yonrs old. Jllimlo
was lotnlly unllku hor father. Slio
saw the humor of things. She was in
clined to be cheerful and gay. ' Sho
had always laughed nioro or less, and
her father bad boconio used to It, ns
Hho had (o bis Boleinnness.
When tho mother died the dniightor
took up the housekeeping, and two
years had passed when she and Frank
Williams foi; in love. Frank was u
pushing, Industrious young innii, nnd
ho could at least havo glvon her ns
good n homo as sho bnd. Ho was
rather nfrald of tho solemn faced fa
ther, but bad now and then called at
the house and been well received.
Young Williams had opened u com
mission house. The farmers brought
him iu stuff to sell, nnd bo shipped it
to tho city. When ho was receiving
or shipping, his goods covered a' good
part of tho sidewalk, but no ono com
plained. One day ns Mr. linker was
strolling nbout bo approached tho com
mission liouso Just as n farmer had
unloaded four big baskets of eggs.
Thero . wns room for Mr. linker to
nvold tbofio eggs, and ho would bnvo
avoided thorn but for it big rat. Tho
rodent ran from under tho sidewalk
to a lumber pile, and Mr. linker's at
tention wno thus distracted for tho
moment lie walked along with hlu
bead turned over his shoulder when
his foot struck ono of tho baskets, and
bo fcU forward with a crash. As was
nftcrward ascertained, ho broke all his
previous records by breaking twenty
ono dozen of tho eggs. When ho man
aged to cxtrlcato himself from tho
mess ho wns covered from head to
heel with tho white mid yellow yolks
of tho eggs.
Tho fanner wns ono that could bco
tbo humor of things, and, though tho
loss of tho eggs would bo bis, ho fairly
roared with laughter nt the upset.
No ono could remember ever seeing
Lemuel linker in n temper, but ho wub
mad now ns iio roso up amid those
eggs. Hearing tho laugher at tho door,
young Williams enrao out of bis olllce,
and, instantly recognizing his prospec
tive futber-in-law, ho began to laugh
too.
"You scoundrels, you villains 1" roar
ed Mr. Iluker as ho stood dripping with
Uio yolks.
1 It was when bo heard the victim's
voice that young Williams emtio for
ward nnd expressed his sympathies.
"Go nway, sir; go away!" was shout
ed nt htm. "You had tlioso eggs placed
tbero on purposo to trip mo up. Look
at mo! My clothes nro ruined. Don't
over enter my bouso again or I will
givo you a lnwsultJ"
At tho hack end of Mr. linker's half
aero lot ho had placed threo hlVes of
bees. Thero had been no troublo with
them, and they bnd pnld In honey for
their keep. Ono day as the owner sat
on his front veranda In his shirt sleeves
looking down the vlllngo street nnd
Mlnnio was upstairs in hor room
grieving over the events which had
caused n separation between tho lov
ers n wandering cow appeared upon
tho scene. Sho looked over Uio buck
fence of Mr. linker's lot, nnd she saw
cnblmges, .cornstalks and other good
things to cat. Sho also took notlco
that tho fence wns old nnd shaky. Sho
wns tempted and yielded. Sho crushed
ever tho fcuco between two of tho bee
hives nnd brought them both tumbling
down, nnd tho crush was heard f6r n
block around. Tho bees wont for hor.
air. linker was the next victim, nnd
fee, hurried through tho front gnto
and went downhill toward tho peace
fully llowlng river. Ills yells brought
out tho rest of tho population, nnd ns
fast ns they appeared at their doors
Ir gates tho bees gave them nil prop
er attention. It wns tlgured Inter on
that nt lenst 200 pcoplo. besides tho
cow, received senra to show that Uiey
had fought gallantly and well. Mr.
linker kept on to tho river. Amid bis
pnln mid excitement ho recollected
that bees nnd water nro enemies. To
ijet rfd of tho' bees bo must havo tho
flld of tho rlvor. Ho could not swim
stroke, and tho water was dcop, but
when ho reached tho brldgo ovor tho
wit ho dived.
Tbo cow had no river to pluiigo Into.
nnd sho had to keep on, bellowing at
every jump until sho foil exhnusted.
As ruto would havo it, young Williams
was nt hand to plungo into tho rlvor
to tho rescue of tho man who had dis
appeared beneath tho surrnco, and It
wns iu6stly by his efforts that u rescue
was made. Ho it was who comman
deered n wagon nnd got Mr. Baker
liome, nnd bo it was who got tho doc
tor and helped him to extract nlmost
numberless stings.
And who was it flint rubbed nnd
imndaged and sat through tho hours
of ninny u long night when tho doctor
became worn out? Who was it who
upoko sympathetic but cheorlng words
to tho innn in bed nnd speaking at only
long intervals? It was young Wil
liams, of course. Ho took clmrgo of
tbo cnuo after tho doctor had mndo
two visits, nnd ho let his business go
Jiang to render good for ovll, Throo
weeks had pusscd, nnd tho bees' vic
tim could nt last swing his legs out of
bed. It was then that bo called youug
Wllllnms to him nnd told him that ho
wns forgiven.
