Therefore, at three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon In July, It lay In the cool shadow of the great white house. Seated among the gray cushions of the hammock was Patty Loyd, the only child and the heiress of the broad acres. Patty waa a pretty dimpled blonde ot twenty. In a soft, white lawn, with her chestnut hair curling away from her low brow, she made a charming picture. The other occupant of the porch was John Manchester, the son of Richard Manchester, whose well-tilled fields Joined Loyd farm. He was tall, stal wart and dark, while his thoughtful face betokened a mind alert and cul .ured. The air was heavy with the scent of the heliotrope growing on a flower stand at John's rlRht. The beds of geraniums and nasturtiums made glowing bits of color on the velvety green sward. In the branches of a great apple-tree a mother robin chirp ed drowsily to her brood. All was peaceful and free from discord. But there was a serpent even in Eden. As Seth Loyd, the father of Patty, came strolling around the house, coatless and hla face flushed with the beat, be bore little resemb lance to the traditional tempter of our common mother. Still, his entrance upon the scene was almost as fatal to peace and harmony. Mr. Loyd sat down upon the steps, fanning himself with his straw hat. "Hew! Hot weather this, John." "Yes, It's good for corn," John re plied, affably. He did not particularly enjoy the society of Mr. Loyd, but he was Patty's father. "Tee, but somehow it don't seem to bring on that air piece of yourn over there," pointing off to the north, where a corn-field belonging to the Manches ter was In sight. "Poor lay for crop, that. What ails It? You progressive farmers don't seem to have very good crops after all your talk." The hot blood colored John's cheekB. Mr. Loyd was always sneering at his and his father's farming. Perhaps It would be as well to speak out concern ing the corn. In the young man's vexation he forgot that this disagree able neighbor was the father of the pretty girl opposite. "Oh," he Bald, defiantly, "that's plain enough. As long as that hedge of yours stands there we can't expect much of crops in the Meld next to it. Your own suffer some, but the wind favors you." "Eh, what's that? What do you mean?" and the old man sat bolt up light and glared at John. "It must be your college learnln' has gone to your head." This thrust did not quiet John. His attendance upon the state Agricultural College had before been ridiculed by Mr. Loyd. "I don't think it has. It may have opened my eyes to the cause of what you are pleased to call our failures. You may not know, sir, that research has proven that the pollen of the bar berry-bush Is hurtful to many growing things. Professor Luts touched on the subject while I was at college, and I have this summer corresponded with him about this very hedge. He as sures me that it is a damage to my father's farm, and could be so proved in court. Botanists claim that this variety of the barberry, the Berberlda- cae vulgaris, is " Here a strange noise interrupted bim. It was a cross between a snort and a growl. Only astonishment had kept Seth Loyd quiet thus far. The Latin words, however, restored bis power of speech. He sprang to his feet with remarkable agility, consider ing his sixty-five years. "You fool!" be shouted. "You blamed Idiot! You never had any more brains than your father, and that air schoolln' has spiled 'em. It is a He, every word of it." John, too, aroB. Before he could speak Patty's soft voice recalled him to himself. "Oh, papa, how can you, and on Sun day, too! He don't mean it, John, I know he don't." John hesitated. Yes, it was well. Injudicious to say the least, to anger Patty's father. He bit his lips and turned htlf apologetically to the old man, tut the mischief was done. "You keep still, miss," to Patty. "As for you, young man, you walk. Don't you never put foot on my farm ag'ln. Hedge hurt your corn!

His rage Increased. John I was obliged to obey him and depart. He humbly asked Patty's pardon, and f received assurance of her continued friendship, even while her father was ordering him never to speak to her ' again. John strode out of the gate 'and down the road, and Patty, her blue eyes overflowing with tears, took Tefuge in her own room. Beth Loyd strode Into the cool, quaint, old-fashioned sitting-room, where bis wife was indulging in her Bunday afternoon nap. Mrs. Loyd was a meek little woman, who always managed to fan the flame of her hus band's anger by her ill-timed efforts to extinguish it. When his story waa told, she said, tearfully: , "Oh, Seth, I Jest wouldn't. Like as not, the Manchesters will go to law, and how It would sound for folks to say you was arrested." ! This only made matters worse. Mr. Loyd brought his hands together with a resounding slap, and shouted: I "I wish they'd try it I'll show Dick Manchester who's got the most money, him or me!" "Oh, father, don't talk so," and Mrs. Loyd wiped a tear from her cheek. "I 'most know Patty likes John, and I wouldn't have our girl's heart hurt for all the hedges in the country." ',This remark was the one thing need ed to raise the passion of Seth Loyd to white heat. Notwithstanding his long trusteeship in the little church near by, he swore, with an awful oath, that Patty should have nothing to do with the Manchesters. As for John, he also acted unwisely. He went straight home, and finding his father lying under the great walnut trees which shaded the lawn, he told him the whole story. (' Richard Manchester was a much younger man than his neighbor. John was an only child, nnd as the boy had been motherless since his birth, there was little his father had denied him. But as he listened, the face of the elder man grew hard and stern. This was Viot the first trouWe between Seth Loyd and himself. Manchester s more pro gressive ways of farming had always been ridiculed by the old man, aud more especially had this been the case in the last few years since these very ways had begun to bring In large re turns. The hedge had already been a source of dispute, as It took the place of a line fence, and had, when small, often been passed over and trodden on by Manchester's cattle. "I think I've Btood enough from Seth Loyd," Mr. Manchester, senior, said, firmly. "I believe I'll teat the matter of the hedge In the courtt, although I am opposed, on general principles, to lawlng. You kept Professor Lutz's letters, didn't you, John?" "Yes, sir, but " "But what?" the father asked, Im patiently. "I hope old Loyd did not frighten you?" "I don't think I am afraid," John an swered, smiling a little. "But there's Patty." "Patty? Oh, yes, I see. Well, John, I'll go a little Blow for your sake, but Seth Loyd will never overlook what happened to-day." Time proved the truth of Richard Manchester's words. Seth Loyd let no opportunity ot annoying his neighbor go unimproved. Several times hot words passed between the two men. John and Patty met at church and In various social ways. There was little chance for conversation, and John determined to see the girl alone and come to a definite understanding with her. Fortune soon favored him, One sunny afternoon he was drilling wheat. As he turned bis team he caught a glimpse of a trim little figure in dark blue strolling leisurely along the road only a few rods from him John tied his horse to a convenient tree, hurried across the field, leaped over the fence, and stood leaning against the trunk of a beech when Patty approached. She Btarted, but the look ot Joy In her eyes did not escape John's notice. "Come, Patty, and sit down here, e said, imperatively. 1 "I must talk to you, and there's no telling when can see you again." Patty obeyed ucqueBtionlngly, and he took his place at her side. The sunlight peered down at them through the screen of silver-green leaves, bring ing out glints of brightness in Patty's balr, and in the goldenrod In her lap, and a squirrel paused to eye them cur iously; but they heeded none of these. There, once more, the story of love was told, the story each retelling of which Is the crown of some life. Yes, I love you, John," Patty said her cheeks aglow, "but papa will never, never cousent, and I dare not oppose him." They talked for a long time. John wished to go straight to Seth Loyd and tell him of the engagement, but Patty would not consent. We must wait," she said. ' "Any more trouble would break mamma's heart. I don't know how it will come out, but, John, I will always be true to you." With this John was obliged to be content. Patty bade him a tearful farewell and went on her way. He sighed as he went back across the field. Surely it was hard that two young lives should be overshadowed by yes, by a barberry hedge. John smiled and threw back his shoulders proudly. He would wait patiently for a time, but in the end Patty should be his wife. The autumn wore away, and still the trouble about the hedge increased. Mr. Loyd was planning to set another barberry hedge between his farm and Administrator's Notice.

On a frosty morning late In Novem ber Mr. Loyd started for the corn field, which lay at the extreme back part of his large farm. He was not feeling well, so he hitched a horse to his cart and drove back along the lane until he reached the field where the huskers were busy. Hitching the horse to the fence, he went forward to Inspect the work. When Seth Loyd drove back along the lane he was In a bad humor. There was no use In closing his eyes to the fact his farm was not doing as well as when he was able to personally give Jt his attention. "Everything is going to ruin," he muttered, shivering as the raw wind smote his face. "If I Jest had a eon Not but Patty's a girl any man might be proud of, but a boy would look after things for me. There, I believe the top's blowed plumb off of that stack of clover-seed. I told Collins it wasn't right, but you never see a hired man you can tell anything these days." He drove his horse through the open gate and across the field in the direc tion of the stack. The young horse threw up her head Impatiently at be ing turned aside from her way to the barn. This field was the one separated from the Manchester farm by the disputed hedge. Seth Loyd glanced com placently at the neatly trimmed shrubs. "Looks pretty well In spite of Dick Manchester's grumbling. I'll show him hey, there, Topsy! Whoa! Whoa, I say!" A flock of his own turkeys had taken refuge under the barberry hedge. The patriarch of the flock, a huge bronze gobbler, advanced in front of the horse, his wings spread and hlB shrill voice raised. Topsy shied. The angry voice of her master and the Jerk of the lines added to her excitement. A moment later she was running wildly across the field, with Seth Loyd vainly pulling at the reins and shouting for help. The old man was sorely frightened Directly at the foot of the hill which Topsy was descending at breakneck speed was a narrow gully in which stones and refuse had been thrown There the cart would be overturned Certain death awaited him unless the horse was Btopped. She was stopped. A man leaped over the hedge, strong hands caught Topsy's bits, and John Manchester's voice bade Mr. Loyd dismount. He did so, catching his foot and fall Ing headlong. By the time he had re gained his feet the men who had been working In the field with John had reached the spot. One of these held the horse by the head, the rest were gathered about a figure which lay prone upon the ground. "Eh, what's the matter?" Mr. Loyd asked, making his way forward. "That brute of a horse has about killed John," one of the men suld, "His arm Is broken, besides that hurt on his head, and I don't know what else." John Manchester opened bis eyes, and supported by one of his com pan ions, struggled to a sitting posture. Although suffering severe pain, he smiled faintly when he met the gaze of Seth Loyd. "Hope you'll excuse my trespassing,' he said, In a hoarse voice. "I really forgot under the excitement of the moment that you bad forbidden my coming on your premises." The words died away on his lips, and he sank back, pale and speechless. Seth Loyd's wrinkled face worked plteously as he turned to the group of men. "He hain't dead, is be? 'Cause if he is, 'twas me and the barberry hedge that killed him." It was late the next morning when John Manchester woke from a troubled Bleep. The doctor had pronounced his injuries serious, but not dangerous. Some one was sitting close by bis bed, and he slowly turned his aching head to see who it was. "How are you feeling, dear?" and Patty bent over the pillow. "You here, Patty! Oh, my darling, what does It mean?" "Hush, you are not to talk. Papa sent me here to help take care of you. It's all right, John. He, he said," and the blushing face dropped low, "that you must get well enough for a wedding on Christmas. That isn't all. See, John," and she darted to the window and raised the shade. The barberry hedge was in plain sight. John saw the teams and hired men of Mr. Loyd hard at work pulling up the shrubs by the roots. "Papa said to tell you and your fath er that the barberry hedge and the trouble It made were things of the past," Patty said, slipping ber soft hand into that of her lover. Jaiianeae Imitation. Tbe Japanese are almost universally condemned by writers for the imita tion practiced by them of late years of western literature, art, science and Invention. And yet this imitation seems natural and right. Imagine, If possible, the nation of Japan leaping across the civilization of hundreds of years in half a century. Think of her emerging from the darkness of the middle ages and standing suddenly forth in the light of the nineteenth century. Would it not have been worse than madness for her to have said, "This new civilization is better than ours, yet we will not imitate it. We will retain our originality, and per haps in ages to come we shall reach the enlightened state now enjoyed by the rest of the world." But fortunately the Japanese did not say this, but gave themselves up to the acquisition of the wonderful stores of knowledge opened to theiu. Doa't Tubacco Spit auj Smuka Vuur I-lfe Iwhj.
