Suddenly a sharp turn in t'iL trail struck my horse's nose almost into the very face of a item who sat 0:1 a rock hy the roadside, staring straight Ix-fore him. II is head and chest were thrown forward, his chin Ictd dropped hc-low zero, his lank knees spread wide aji.irt like the open jaws of a Louisiana alli gator, and iiis hands hung limp at his sile. A suit ofhrown jeans, so new that they sue.

That's as good a suit as I've seen this side of Pennsyl vania." "Stranger, you don't mean it," he said, softly, coming up close In-side me, and fetching a whack across my thigh that tingled all the way up my anato my, creeping out at the end of my funny bone. "ho' now, you don't mean it." "Yes. I do. though : but what does Nancy say altout it?" I answered. "Stranger," he said, leaning on my pony's neck and looking at me court deiitiallv.

" 'Thomas MeTair, she said, pyeart like, steppin' to the front, an' 'Bandy Giblis a-eggiu' her on fuia behin', 'Thomai MeTair, Pap his name is fhomas, an laaui j'ined on tlieMcTair for the Bihop what u-ter lie down to Nashville 'Tlioinas MeTair,' say- Nancy, 'was you aiuiin' to marry in them jeans garments "." she says.

Yes, sir, tiieni was Nancy's very word 4 war, an' with that the do Mamnic:! 111' whenst I looked up thar warn t Nancy ! O, Lrd, O, Lord !" 'Stranger," he began again after a moment, eyeing my rugh tweed suit, did you mean them words you sp ike about this here dad Llam -.1 suit cr cans? liI vou know?" "Well, yes," I answer-1, "from my stamlpoint, that is a first-rate suit, straight goods, nil wool and a yard wide." "Thanky, stranger, thanky," said Thomas MeTair, exuberantly, "blamed ef I don't tell the ol' lady them words it vour'n, but see here, stranger. would you min' swoppia"."' "What? Suits!" I asked, smiling at the rcncuibrauc-of the twelve inches of diliereace in our heights. "That's what," he said eagerly, "You see, it's thiser way. Thar's plenty time yit fo' the weddin' was to 'a liccn, an' cf vou air a min' to 'commodate me I kin get thar by the time the squire' 11 i-ome, an' bless Gawd, I'll git Nancy !" "I am afraid your clothes won't lit me," I said, temjiori.ingly. I lis fact? fell. "L.k here stranger," hesaid, and there were tears 111 Ins eyes, "I'm a-lo.-in' the chance er Nan cy !

"Bight you are there, Thomas," I said, dismounting. "You've hit the nail on the head, and I'll tell yu what I'll do for you. Mam's cooked up a lot of good things, hasn't she, back at the cabin, for you and Nancy to start hon eymooning on . "That's what," he answered. "Well, shuck off". I'll lend you my suit till the weddin's over, provided you'll put me on tlie trail to your cabin and irive me suiuH-r and a lv.1. A fel low gets kinder played climbing moun tains." "Stranger, you're a tramp," cried Thomas with effusion. "You're a man ever' inch uv vou aa you're treatin' me white. O, Lord, jest to think, I'll git Nancy !' "I say, Thomas," said I, after we had b ith disrobed, "you'll have to get that turkey grease out of your hair, or I am afraid my hat won't stay on your head; it will slip oft", yoa know." "Bight your air, stranger," he said, cveing my rough shock, "ui.'bba little stragglin' outlook, as yoa mought call it, would go better with sto' bought do's. But come down this way a piece." He picked up my bundle of clothes and his own big Units, which he ha I Ut-n comiielleil to remove ia order to skin his trouser over his feet, ami led the way down the trail ia his under suit of unwashed Sea island. We came presently up 111 a little cove under overhanging ledges of rock, whence a spring bubbled, trailing its way noisily down the mountain side. Before I knew what he was about Thomas MeTair had thrown himself forward oa the ialms of his hands an 1 was standing feet uppermost over the stream. The ripples gargled through his long hair, washing the oil out upon the troubled waters. "Never wet a thread, did I?" he said by and by, as he turned a somersault ami landed 011 his feet. By this time I was comfortably hal ited ia his hickory shirt and brown jeans, with abaut a foot of trousers turned up ia an English roll around my ankles. Thomas McTair's dressing proceeded more slowly, converting him into a forked sight. My trousers struck hint ulsiut the region of his calves and re fused to le coaxed any lower, but this was a minor defect, as his cowhide Riots uobly satisfied the deficiency. APRIL 181)5.
