The colonel and the young reporter were sipping their respective portions of a cold bottle of beer and listening to the whir of an electric fan the other night when the colonel grew reminis cent. "Away before the war," remarked the colonel, musingly, "when I was just sprouting my first whisker—a spindle-shanked, truant-playing prod uct of the effete east —my father sent me out into southwest Missouri to get braced up. 1 don't know what was the matter with me, but I was all run down, and my father was convinced that a season on the Missouri farm of my uncle would prove beneficial alike to my mind and body. I might say be fore going further that it did. "I bade my mother a sorrowful good-by, away back in New York city, and in due course of time I landed 011 the farm of my uncle. It was a reve lation. The verdure-clad hills, the breezes smelling spicy and sweet, the cold water from the well, wholesome food in large quantities, horses to ride and a lovely pool to go swimming in made a new boy of me in a week. Barring the fact that I was compelled to retire with the rest of the family at nine o'clock at night and get up at an hour in the morning when the dew on the grass felt to ray bare feet like ice water, that farm was heaven. It was two heavens when I got acquainted with Melvina Drake. "Melvina Drake was about the four teenth child of a farmer living about two miles nearer town than my uncle. Her father, Solomon Drake, was the poorest man in the county. He was poorer than watered buttermilk, but the uicest, mildest-mannered old man you ever saw. His wife was a skinny, sallow, forsaken-looking, over-worked worn an, with no pleasure in store for her but death. Both were hard-working but honest, but they had some kind of a hoodoo on them. They were old res identors in that part of the country, and their ancestors had been there be fore them, but as far back as the mem ory of man could extend the Drakes had always been poor —as my uncle said—'pore as shucks.' About all the Drakes seemed fitted for was increas ing the population and getting hold of horses that couldn't draw anything but Hies. "As I was saying, Melvina was about the fourteenth of the Drake brood, and she was a dream. I guess she was about sixteen years, big and sweet and healthy. Her cheeks were as rosy and clear as a Missouri apple, and her eyes were big and blue. And she was so doggone innocent that I hope I may die if it didn't use to embarrass me like thunder. "Consequence was I got 'mashed' on Melvina; hard 'mashed.' I don't be lieve a stronger cuse of calf love ever developed in this whole state of Mis souri. If I saw one of my cousins or any other boy talking to her I would go to soine secluded spot and cry and butt my soft noddle against a tree. At night I used to lay awake and dream myself a hero. I used to imagine Mel vina tearing down the road on a fiery steed with certain death staring her in the face, and me coming up unexpect edly, stopping the horse and rescuing her, sustaining in the operation a broken leg and sundry other bruises. Then I'd imagine Melvina nursing me back to life and finally marrying me. My head was full of such stuff. "One day, along in June, there came out our way a wagon loaded with £r cus bills, paste pots and bill stickers, and they slathered the country side with signs announcing that the great Eg.ypto-Africano circus and menageries was to show in town on the Fourth of July. When I left home my father gave rae ten dollars, and I had most of it left. I made up my mind that I would take Melvina to the circus, and directly my dreams at night took the form of a monster lion rushing at her with open mouth, and me engaging the lion just as he was about to grab her, and choked him to death with one hand. "The next time I saw Melvina—l used to see her every day; in fact, I came pretty near being with her all the time—l asked her if she'd go to the circus. I thought she'd faint. Her eyes opened wide, and so did her mouth, and astonishment was en graved on every line of her counte nance. She was so overcome with joy that she just sat down and cried. I sat down, too, and that was tlio first timo I ever kissed her. Young man, that kiss is a sacred memory with me. I have experienced a good many sensa tions in my time, but the sensation of kissing a handsome, buxom Southwest Missouri girl right square on the soft, sweet lips, while the tears from her heavenly eyes are running down and making pearly drops on your budding mustache, is something better than alt of thein put together. And when, like Melvina. she puts her brown, bare arms around your neck and kisses back—one of those long, clinging kisses that Ella Wheeler Wilcox writes about—words are superfluous. But J have often wondered, since I have bo corne calloused aud cynical, where Melvina learned to kiss. She was a revelation to me. "Finally the glorious Fourth came around and I got ready for the circus. I might explain here that I had brought u suit of store clothes aud a pair of shoes from the east with rae, but I had never worn the clothes on the farm and seldom wore the shoes. Everybody down in that section went barefooted, boys and men. and I did as the Romans did. This Fourth of July morning I put on a 'biled shirt,' my 'store clothes,' my shoes and socks, and I brushed and cleaned myself un til I was positively uncomfortable. After breakfast, followed by the good natured but cutting 'joshing' of my relatives, I started down the road to meet Melvina. I had arranged with her to walk to town, figuring on the walk back in the moonlight, when we could 'hold hands' as wc strolled along the road and slobber over each other. My uncle wanted us to go in the wagon with him and hlq family, but I was too wise. "It was two miles to the Drake cabin, and four miles to town. I was to meet Melvina at the turn in the road just below her father's house. The sun was about two hours high and cast long shadows on the ground as I trudged along to the try sting place. "I remember I took out my Barlow and cut a stout stick from a hedge along the roadside, in anticipation of a possible brush with the lion. The air was heavy with the sweet smell of orchards, ripening grain and new mown hay, and I was the happiest youth in Missouri. I made up my mind I was going to spend every cent I pos sessed on Melvina. "Directly 1 came to where she was. •She had on a dress that couldn't have cost more than a quarter, but she looked like a queen in it, although, I must confess, it fit her like it was cut out with a pair of skates. A wide brimmed hat sat jauntily on her brown curls, and her face looked like a ripe peach to a hungry man. I noticed she had no shoes on, but that cut no icc with me, for she had as pretty a foot and ankle as anybody would want to look at. "1 had calculated on making a hit with Melvina with my store clothes, aud I did. I paralyzed her. She just stood and looked at me while wave after wave of hot blushes chased up her white neck and congregated in her face. I stood simpering like a prize idiot. She began to cry, aud wouldn't tell me what was the matter with her, and 1, wise in the ignorance of .youth, didn't know that, like all women, she was proud, and ashamed to bo seen with me, because of the splendor of my raiment. I jollied her along, told her how nice and sweet she looked, swore she would bo the belle of the circus, and was generally so lavish in my praise of her that she consented, finally, to go with me if I'd let her go home and fix up a bit. Still I didn't know what was the matter, but I let her go. "I laid down in the shade of a tree on the grass to wait for her. The sun climbed higher and wagons loaded with country people rattled by on the way to the circus. I had just figured out that we would miss the parade and grand free exhibition outside the big tent if Melvina didn't hurry when she hove in view. I looked at her a second and then jumped in the air so sudden ly I jarred myself. If my raiment had paralyzed Melvina she got even all right. She had placed a cheap ribbon around her neck and spoiled the beauty of it, and had covered her pretty feet with a pair of shapeless, hard, heavy, cowhide shoes. Between the tops of her shoes and the bottom of her dress nppcared occasional glimpses of a pair of stockings of the variety known as bnrbcr polo. They were striped red and yellow and the stripes were wide. But she had something else on that knocked me speechless. "Years and years had this crowning feature of Melvina s attire been in the Drake family. It was an heirloom, 1 guess, and the only piece of finery the family possessed. Melvina, blushing and simpering hardly knowing whether I would sufficiently admire it or not —was wearing it, regulation fashion. It was an old-fashioned raulf, of some heavy black fur and as big as a bass drum. "Perspiration broke out of every poro in ray body The idea of me, togged out in 'store clothes' and look ing like a dude, going to a circus on the Fourth of July with a girl carrying a muff that must have weighed eight pounds and would have warmed an ice house, was maddening. But Melvina looked so thoroughly self-satisfied that 1 hadn't the heart to tell her that the sweet simplicity of the dress she wore when she first met me was more be coming by far than the big cowhide boots and the muff. So 1 made the best of it and let it go. "1 am an old man now, but tho memory of the attention I created in that little country town that day is as vivid in my mind as is the fact that I just paid for the last drink. The cir cus wasn't in it. A number of times I was tempted to run away, miles and miles, but Melvina was having such a good time that I looked pleasant and stood it. She never took her hands out of that muff all day, only to eat and drink, and several times she asked mo to hold it for her while she fixed up her hair or tied her shoe or some thing. One time, while I was holding the muff, I lost her for a fow minutes in the crowd, and then I endured more agony until I found her again than 1 did when I got shot through the leg in the war. We walked home in the moonlight all right, but wc didn't 'hold hands,' partly because Melvina had her hands in tho muff and partly because I was so dad blamed mad at her that I could have slapped her. They made it so hot for mo when 1 got home to ray uncle's with their remarks about Melvina's muff that I started home the next day. I don't know what ever became of Melvina Drake, but I do know that I suffered one day, for her sake, tho keenest martyrdom."— St. Louis Republic. RECIPES.
