(These short serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bah" eller.and are printed inTheTribune by Bpeciul arrangement, simultaneous with their appearance In the leading dally Journals or. the large cities). CHAPTER II Continued. The girl passed on without replying, lind the old man Joined Polly In the summer house. He sat down on the bench near her, fanning himself with his straw hat, and It was some time he fore he spoke. "Hotter'n It was last night," he said. "Hotter than It was night before last, I think," the woman replied. "I gad, I guess you're right. You al ways raise me one; must have played pokor In 'your time." '"But If I were to play poker I might not always raise; I might sometimes simply call." "Gad, I believe you have played; but that ain't what I want to talk about. See this?" He touched his shirt collar and It was fastened with a horseshoe nail. "Been a thruatenln' to git It for a long time and got It Jest now in honor of you, don't you see? But It ain't nothin' to laugh at. Will you let me tell you sonii'thln'?" "Yes, I am going to sit here a few moments longer." "Don't exactly like the way you put It, but I reckon It's all right." He was silent, fumbling with the nail at his collar; he sighed deeply, threw his hat on the ground, thrust his hands Into his pockets and leaned back against the vine-woven lattice work. And In the twllght she could see that his face was hard-set and his countenance eager. "What were you going to tell me?" phe asked. "Somethin powerful Important to both of us, but you'll have to let me git nt It In my own round-about way. By this time the whole town is discuss- i III V lA "I Want to Marry You, In' the fact that three men, strange men at that, come here and called you Polly. And mebbe In the mornln'. they will tell you that j'ou better git out. Then what?" "I'll tell them to go to a place not on the school maps, but well located In spiritual geography." "I gad, that's the way to talk to avoid Btrength, but It won't do to tell 'em no such a thing. There is a way by which the whole affair may be made smooth." "It Is smooth enough now," she re plied. "I'll be dinged If It Is; It's as rough lis a toad's back; but we can smooth It. Now here." he leaned toward her. "I say now here, you marry me and the whole affair will be settled, for they Won't dare to talk about the wife of the mayor of the town. Hah, what do you say? You see that I've got about the best place around here, and I was down the creek yesterday evenin' and that corn Is goln' to turn out monstrous, hah? You can go right down to the Store and trade out ten dollars' worth ns a snort, hah? Then Nell can help you right along In the printing olllce nnd It shan't cost you a cent. As I told you once before, you ain't so powerful good lookln'. Your face ain't got that aaft look that It ought to have, but we expect everything of a woman from the city, you know. Oh, I know I'm glttln' old, but I bet a dollar that I can Jump ever that bean pole right yander." "I'll take the bet," She replied. "llah, what's that? You don't want lo Bee me Jumpln" round In the garden path at night like a toad, do you? Wouldn't like to 'have It said ith&t you married a man simply because he could Jump over a pole, would you? Look, don't you see I have got this here horse nhoe nail jest to please you? Look how J am putting myself out." "But you haven't told mo that you love me," she said, and In the gather ing darkness he could see her looking down.. "Haven't I? Well, I do. Love you well enough to let you go to the store end trade out ten dollars' worth at a enort, and If that ain't love, hanged If I know what Is. Yes, I even love you more than that I'll let you trade out fifteen. Now whait do you say?" "Mr. Almes," she said, and her voice iwas low and sympathetic, "your earn est pleading warms my heart toward you, and it therefore grieves me to tell you that I nm engaged." "The horn spoon you say! But who to? But not to one of them men, I hope." "No; not to one particularly, but to fill three." "The off ox you say! But you oan't fnarry all three of 'em." "No, I can't; but I can wait and see Hvhlch one I really want." "Miss," said itihe old man, catching Up his hat and arising, "you come mighty near bolng the blameat creeter I ever saw." ' He stood there fumbling wltih his collar; he took out the nail, held it a moment In hla h'ond, and tihen, throw ing It away, said: "Thart I have flung my love and your honor out Into bushes. Good night." There was a great deal of talk In the Village, .and at. one time It appeared ithat the mite society, for Whose benefit Polly had so ardently begged a nlckil there and there, would Issue an edict against her; but the itide was finally turned by the president of the associa tion, a widow with a business eye. Bhe flaw that to cut off the newspaper' was to throw away a valuable adjunct, and bo It was agreed that Polly mlgnt re main In the society and rest simply Under . a mild degree pf suspicion. The question was discussed in the church but the preouher,, strong In his belle lat churdh notices and abntraots of sermons should be printed, called a de termlned haW, .... . LI III if il ' Si OPIE REftD How much longer the affair might have been discussed, and Into what re mote and executive corners of affright ed virtue it might have been dragged, It would be dltllcult to say; but the arising of a new 'topic put it all aside. And this new topic was one of real ex cKemenlt. Not far away In the hills lived a gang of desperate men, itihe Abe Peters boys, they were cailled. It was known, or at least It was strongly suspected, Bitot they ihad robbed railway trains. Determined efforts on the part of the law had failed to bring them to Justice. It was believed that they had formed an alliance with the Dal ton gang,' but this their leader denied, and offered, on condition of a pardon for himself and friends, to help the offi cers bring the Daltons Into court or to kill them. This offer was accepted. The Daltons were killed or so badly crippled that nothing further was to be feared from thorn. Well, after this the Peters gang fought off the tempta tion to rob trains, but could not forego the uleasuiMLble recitation of riding I into a village now and Men and shoot ing out the lights. So, Just about the time the talk concerning Polly and the three men was sinking to a mere whis per of dying scandal, the Peters broth ers rode into Broomlleld, shot the town cow, wounded the prowHng hog nnd shattered a lamp In the meeting house. This was the greatest outrage that had ever been put upon ithat part of the country, and old man Almes, with ihls shirt unbuttoned, puffed up and down the street and swore that if e.nyone would go with him he would ride aflter the scoundrels. But everybody was Uon't You Understand? busy. The sheriff was belhlnd with Tils tax list, the constable wasn't feeling well; and while the citizens were dis cussing their Inability to avenge them selves, Polly came up and said that aha would go with Mr. Almes. "I gad," said the old fellow, looking upon her with admiration, "you'll drive me to the shop to get another horseshoe .nail, but I think too much of you to see you put yourself In such danger. Let's wait awhile." In the next number of the pnipeT Polly scored the rascals, and this pro duced a scare. The people Bald that the Peters brothers would surely come back and riddle the town. And within a week afterfard they did come back, shouting, galloping through the streets. In fright the people sought their homes. The marauders dashed about, firing. They galloped up to the printing office and fired at the win dows. And then from the Inside came a puff of smoke and one of the Peters fell out of his saddle. Then there arose a furious melee, firing right and left, but the steady hand within the olllce fired again and out of a saddle dropped another man. Suddenly there was a new excitement among the marauders, and from behind a goods box came the double roar of a shotgun. The Pfters brothers, those not on the ground, ducked their heads and dashed away, and when Polly stepped out, Nell, with a gun In her hand, came from behind the box. "I was watch lng," she said, "and I thought you needed me. CHAPTER III. Three men had been dangerously wounded, and the law, now brave enough, took charge of them. Polly and Nell were heroines. The president of the mite society called a special meeting In honor, and old man Almes buttoned almoBt tight enough to choke him. Now It was declared that Polly should never leave the village; and It was also vowed that If she wanted to be acquainted with three men from away off somewhere It was her right, and that It was nobody's business If Bhe had chosen to engage herself to them. One afternoon Almes called at the office and told Nell to go home. "Go right on now and wait there till come,'.' he Bald, thinking to whisper to her, but speaking loudly enough to be heard out In the street. "Ye, right now and when I do come I may have mighty lnterestln' piece of news for you." Nell went out and Polly knew what was coming. The old' man sat down. "Little cooler than It was yesterday," he said. "Yes," she replied. "Cooler than It was day before yesterday." . "Qad, I reckon you are right. Say, do you rloollect that some time ago I told you about my field of corn down the creek? Well, you ought to see It now. Seventy-five or a hundred bush els to the acre. ' And you know that I told you .that you might even spend $15. Of course you rlcollect It, for how could a woman and as brave a woman as you ever forget It. Well, I have been thlnkln' the matter over since then and I have come to the conclusion that you may spnd $20 at a Bnort. Now what do you think of it?" "But you don't owe me anything," she replied, "No, but I want to give It to you, don't you see give It to you to spend at a snort, hah? I want to marry you, don't you understand?" "Mr. Alimes, you are too brave a man to throw yourself away." (To Be Continued.) : Plenty of Hooin. From the Grand Ruplds Democrat. .

Very few maidens practice economy as they do the piano. After all, for a Friend In need, com mend us to the Impecunious Quaker. Everything comes to those who wait. It Is now the autumn leaves turn. In the matter of Bilent partner, many a hen-pecked husband fills the bill. Perusal of the book of nature Is most enjoyable when the leaves are red. Striking features of the pugilistic drama are, of course, the Bparrlng scenes. Only the Ignorant Imagine that the Red Sea Is Hawthorne's "Scarlet Let ter." Proof of pudding- Is eating thereof; proof of the copy Is correction of the same. Fathers who walk the floor with cry ing boy babies carry the male for noth ing.

' It Is not possible to preserve all kinds of vegetables, but everybody knows the tomato can. The greatest London mystery Is the fog. There are days when nobody can see through It. There are people who find fault with Impecunious clergymen because they marry for money. Edison Is not a wealthy Inventor, but the general Impression seems to be he Is a man of means. Army ofllcers should go to bed as often as possible. Whenever they re tire they are given half-pay. Best professional cooks agree that It Is Impossible to make any kind of pastry out of base ball batter. The bridegroom with his best man in the church anxiously awaits the arrival of his own special train. It is no professional secret that nine out of ten physicians are in bad humor when they lose their patients. When a card player In the distribu tion receives two klugs, an ace and a queen, It means a good deal with him. What Is known as the "vital spark" may be when two men, both resolved to wed her. are courting the same girl. In the preparation of game, cooks not argumentative or querulous have often to stop merely to split hares. Never look a gift horse In the mouth, nor, for the matter of that, any cheap book In the Immedlae typography.
