In the Gift of the Wind
By LILIAN C.
tCopyrtght. 1902, by Lilian C. Fachal.
"Gosh jam It! Thar's thet ol red cow In
tuy cabbldge patch ag'in!"
' Zebulun Flint, familiarly known through
out the Iowa blue grass belt as Skinflint
Zeb, surveyed wrathfully. In the dim
dawnllght, the damage wrought In hie
cherished vegetable garden by the preda
tory cow of his detested neighbor, "Uncle
"Benny" Wrsy.
"Eence thet ea'f o her'n died o' th'
scours she's gotter be tb' breecbiest critter
In th' hull county. Blama 't she ain't broke
th' top beard off'n thet fence Jumpla' In!
Hey. thar!" .
And he brandished the empty tin milk
palla ha waa carrying toward th liitriijer.
She calmly munched the heart out of a
aucculcct head et cabbage and switched
fcer tall by way of reply to tha Irate saluta
tion. "Hy, outer thart" fceb advanced warily
in her rear. Old Red bad also developed
"hooky" tendencies since her recent be
reavemuut nd must be approached dipli
tnatlcally. She wheeled auddenly and
pawed up a dusty challenge from the cab
bag patch. The old man retreated precipi
tately to tha safety of tha adjoining cow
yard. "Thar goes another bead!" be groaned,
peering through the fence with aordld
despair In bis llitle bleared eyes. "An
I e'ud sell ever' one o them eabbldgee
for a cent apiece! Ooh Jain th' pesky
critter!" Hi Irascible .temper exploded
in bis favorite expletive, which waa a sear
to the ragged edge of profanity as bl
stanch "Meihody" principle would allow.
Ia his vx(!oa he clanged th tin pall
toother smartly to frlghtea the trespasser,
tkotigh he would have thrashed bl buy
Nsi. ;!!!! for such wicked thoughtlessness.
C'larig'ns thein might make them leak and
tbiik pa;! cost 8 rents apiece. This action,
even more tbaa the bnlf profane expletive,
vlittxed the depth cf eld JUb's mental
perturbation. Few things in the heavens
stove or the earth beneath would have
tempted hlta to Uy iacrlleglous hands on
auytiilng that "cost money."
"I ll fciake ol' lieii&y Y,'ry j,y dtar Ut
theiii tulibldiie," he grolrd, in helpless
rage, turning hta back on the sickening
aEPt in the garden. "Wu'l. hyur I be
a-tla' tliii cn thet ornery ol' cow
an' t'uein thrashers a-comiu' at suu-up.
An' ine with, all thet mlikln' ter do yit, '

(ha garden. She stopped midway In her
pleasant occupation of absorbing green
things and glared at him, with the mis
anthropic eye of one who held the entire
universe responsible for the losa of her
offspring.
He held out the bat, with Ita toothsome
bait. She snuffed tha air, sniffed th salt
and stepped toward It Carefully moving
backward, th old worker of thla rustic
bunco game edged toward the open gate,
with the bovine victim of misplaced con
fidence following gingerly. He led her
safely through, then quickly closed the
gate and carried the salt back to th
barrel in the smokehouse. K
"No us 'n waatln' good salt on other
folks' cows." be said, aa be returned to
bis milking.
"Book, cowl 8oo-oo-ock!" be called again
down the green slop of the cow lot beyond
the hern, where the robins were Just tuning
up, and the awakened klne rose laxity and
swung up the hill, dew-lapped In red clover.
Tliree fat, black cats, bearing the call,
came down with a soft thud from their
fragrant bed on the high ledge of the balf
out hayrick and seated themselves haunch
wise in a dignified row near blm, waiting
for the milking process to begin.
Every morning, when the boy, Naph, ap
peared with the palls the cats waited their
turn for the well-directed white streams
which esm from the milker's hand, whts
iil and guzzling pleasantly down their be
whiskered, wide-open mouths.
But though they Implored gently In their
b(t meoTrs for the accustomed libation,
pnne wan forthcoming this time. Had old
Zeb understood their petition, with Its In
criminating evidence of his son s extrava
gance in feeding new milk to the cats, there
would have been greater trouble than
cramp In store for that young gentleman.
"Git outer my road!" be snarled at the

ically. -
She hurried to and fro laying the table,
her sweet face showing that she wa
worn from a night of watching beside the
aick boy, and ber crusty father stormed
up and down the porch.
"Well, hurry up an' git It,' quick." be

Bhe donned a huge gingham apron over
her blue print house dress, rolled up her
sleeves above her dimpled elbows and began
to knead out the bread dough which was all
puffed up with waiting on th pantry table.
"UoriUn', Ihilury," said a voice at the
paatry window, a voice that swept ever ber
bear, like a tender band serosa a barp, set
tin It all a -quiver with sweet music. A
tanned, manly faoo looked In at her from
beneath a wide-brimmed straw hat.

Bhe smiled tremulously Into them.
"If it's weather indications ye're after,
Ben," she faltered bravely, "I'm 'fraid ye're
goln' to be disappointed, for ther's a big
storm, a-cemla' pa ' told me only this
mornln' not to have anything to do with
ye, Ben dear," the last word seemed to be
drawn from ber rosy lips almost agalnat bar
will by the compelling eyes, even aa another
and aweeter toll was taken from the same
oft quarter an Instant later.
Their dream of love waa rudely broken by
loud voicea gradually drawing nearer from
the direction of the barnyard.
"I'll never pay no secb ecan'lous price

eous Indignation.
"It's n more'n It's wutb tb trespasaln'

appeared around the corner of the smoke

"Sixty-one cents." repeated the other
obstinately.
"Sixteen dollars ' er nothln'," squeaked
Skinflint Zeb, equally stubborn.
"D'ye aver sea each tarnation cheek In
all yer born daysT" exclaimed Uncle
Benny, cstching sight of bis son by the
pantry window. "He wants $18 fer them
few cabbidgea ol Red'a et up!"
"Phllury!" shouted old Flint, seeing a
well-defined pattern done in flour across
young Ben's blus hickory shoulders.'
"Didn't I tell ye not ter speak ter thet
Wray feller you '
"It wurn't her fault, Mr. Flint," Inter
rupted the young man! paling with anger
under his tan. "I came over with dad ter

At this taunt, a common one In the

the old man turned Ilk a snarling animal.

threshing, atopping tor a short nooning
only long enough to gobble and ahovel In
the big, toothsome dinner which Phllury
had labored so hard to prepare for them.
Many a dull farm lad'a aye brightened as
It followed the slender, graceful figure of
Skinflint Eeb's daughter In ber fresh pink
lawn and white apron, hastily donned
while the men were washing their dusty
faces In the tin basin eat under the box
alder. - -
la the middle bf tba afternoon the driver
suddenly whoaed and atopped the horses.
Ia answsr to old Zeb's inquiring glance
from bla post as bandcutter, be shouted,
pointing with his whip to the southwest,
where lay a low bank of greenish-gray
cloud.
"Look-athari Cyclone's eoniin' sure's
you're bora!"
"Cyclone yer granny!" pshawed the old
man,, wiping the dust from hla wrinkled
face "yer Jee' a-wantln' a rest, 81 Thomp
klns c'long with th' thrashing" be
shouted, and tha men obeyed, though with
apprehensive glances toward the south
west and the aky overhead, fast covering
with flying grsy scud.
"Whee-oo-oom-n," once more sang tho
grain-eating monster, till en minutes
later It broke off in a atrangled wheeze, aa
tha driver leaped down from the platform
and hastily unhooked bis own team from
the circle of horses.
"Ye c'n thrash yerself Inter th' Jaws
o' death ter aave a few cents, of Skin
flint!" be shouted defiantly at the old
farmer, and broke for cover. "But I'm
a-goln' ter the cave. See ther!"
Looming up above the borison was a ter
rible shape, mora dreaded by tha prairie
dwellers than tha plague, a huge greenish
black funnel-form cloud, banging point
down like a great balloon partly over
turned, and with clawlike anchors dragging
the earth beneath, leaving death and deso
lation In Its wake.
The stifling air was deadly still; not a
leaf stirred, not a bird peeped; the dovea
bad flown to the bam eaves and were
watching the oncoming storm with fear In
their gentle eyes. The silver linings of tha,
poplar leave grinned, wrong side out, like
a menace of disaster.

OVERHAULS THE UNCLE SAM
Little- Craft Pwrrkjaaed by t-'mperer
fa Be I sea ia Practice .
by Cadets.
BERLIN, Aug. 15. The American yacht.
Uncle Sam, of the racebot class, which
was bought by Emperor William after tba
boat bad won the umperoa's gold cup at
the International regatta at Kiel, has. been
overhauled and turned over to the navy.
The little yacht which Is thirty-one feet
and ten Inches over all and twenty-one feet
on ths water line, is to bs used for prac
tice in learning how best to handle small
crart. The eutperor knows that Germans
do not get aa good results from their
yachta as do American and Eiigilalj yachts
men. He observed that the naval cadets
t Kiel were weak and failed to make
the most of the Comet's strong points.
Captain Ben Barker told tb emperor this
when the skipper's opinion wa aaked and
tho emperor expressed his dlssstlsfactloa
at the work on tha Comet.
The fact that tha emperor had an English
raceing crew on board the Meteor, with
fourteen picked German sailors ss appren
tices is another example of his belief that
Germans are not so adept in handling rac
ing crafts aa might be desired.
Look out for malaria. It Is seasonable
now. A few dosea of Prickly Ash Bitters Is
a sure preventive.
