' T EM2kIE say it to ye in big letters, I 1 Fred Peterson, so's you can't fail to se the whole meanin at one peep. Ef you steal my Betty, an' run off and marry her, I'll fill your hide as full of holes as a musical sieve! " Thus spoke .old Ben Pitchf ord to young Fred Peterson as the two stood in the road, on Kinniconnick creek, Ky., one May morning three years ago. The young man, tall and broad, grace ful as the pine that, on the hill above them, swayed to and fro at the touch of the winds, met the blazing eyes of old Ben with a look of fearless mirthful -iiess. There was no defiance or im pudence in his face. It was sunshine confronting a black cloud light not afraid to meet the blackness. "Oh, shucks! Maj. Pitchford, I know you are a bad man with a gun. I know you've got a quick temper, a cool nerve, a quick eye and a perfect marksmanship. I know you have got a skillful hand and a long bowie. You've got an icy heart in front of a foe, but a mighty warm one to those that have claims on your affection, and in short ha, ha! you would split the brain box of an enemy with great suddenness, but you would never, never shoot your son! your son-in-law! er ha, ha, ha!" "You can't laugh me down, suh. I've ewore it, and nobody ever hearn of old Ben Pitchford ever tellin'-a lie, much less swearin' one. I'll Mil yon if you atealmygal!"

"I'd like to know," returned the young man, ' seriously now,- but with no resentment in his look or tone, "I'd like to know, Maj. Prtchf ord, what you've got against me? In -what way have I ever offended you? I wont say I am good enough for your daughter. I don't think any man is. But I think I can say, without being egotistical, that I am as good4n any light you want to look at me, as any other young man in these hills. Now, you know what I say is true. Now, tell me give me one intelligent reason for your opposition to me." "You know without me tellin' you," spake the old if ellow, in low tones, em phasizing with his eyes. "Indeed, I do not!" protested the young man. "You don't know, eh, that there has been a Pitchford-Peterson feud for 50 years or more?" returned the old fel low, with a grin of mockery. "Yes," said Fred, "I knew of the feud, but that is not an intelligent rea son for your opposition." "It hain't, eh?" "No, sir; it might be good enough for. savages or beasts, but beg your pardon not for civilized people." "Then I am a savage a beast ? "Not. altogether, by any means, sir; but you show the traits of one, if yon are eternally disposed to keep alive savage, beastly pfactices." "Your father, what of him?' "He's in the same boat with you, if he wants to continue this abominable feud. Both of you are good enough, in your way but you have some ways that fit yoHi more for the Black Forest than fqr the sun plains of the nine teenth eintury. . There is too much of the claw and fang about both of you. j-The next jjeneratioiT'TriU find the claw and fang extinct in both families." "Do yon mean to tell me, Fred Peter son, that you haven't a secret fang, eager to get into my flesh, and that your likin for my gal alone keeps it out?

Yes, I think it's time to cut down the old tree that's borne so much fruit of blood and death, and make a wedding bonfire of the branchesl That's just what Betty and I propose to do. We de cided, long ago, before we graduated, that we'd close the book at the bloody chapter forever." "You can't get my consent, snh. "I shan't ask it." "And if you steal her, by heaven re member my oath I will kill you!" The two men instantly separated, each going his opposite way. Fred Peterson was moving along the road with a long, graceful stride. The birds strove to catch him with love songs; the brook leaped up and shouted with merriment; the butterflies be sprinkled the brown road ahead with many vivid colors, but he heard noth ing, saw nothing. His vision was turned inward, where a great conflict was raging. I will have her, I will have her be fore another month!" he ejaculated. "Of course you will!'' cried a nweet, merry voice from the side of the road. "Of course you will, or I'll sue you for breach of promise!" The young man started from his reverie as if aroused from sleep by a pistol shot. He looked in the direction of the voice with startled eyes, and be held a wood nymph, calico clad, stand ing laughing at his confusion. "Why, Betty, what are you doing there?" laughed - the handsome man, moving toward her "Listening to your vows. But why do yon want to be telling the winds? Dont yoti know they run everywhere?"

Why Men. la Professional Pnrautti Uve Longer Than Thoae In Business In the majority of cases among city dwellers those who reach advanced ages are found to have been profes sional men. There are a good: many reasons for this. In the first place, the struggle for ex istence begins later in professional life than in other centers. . Thfprofession al man seldom begins his work! tr.iu'h before 25, while the business mini oi laborer goes to work at the age of li' thus the professional man hasi seven clear years of freedom from responsi bility, moderate work and healthy ex istence. Secondly, the occupation of the professional man generally; takes him to a considerable extent into the open air, and is very seldom entirely sedentary. Thirdly, the professional man generally enjoys that modest com petence which saves him at once on the one hand from starvation or penury and on the other hand from idleness and excess. Fourthly, his holidays are generally ample. Fifthly ,to a certain extent his livelihood generally depends on his leading at least a comparatively sober and moral life, violent excesses ruining both his standing and his; busi ness capacity. Sixthly, professional callings are exposed to very few special dangers. Lastly, since even a minor ailment of ten s unfits a man entirely for professional works, he has a special motive in taking particular care of his health. CLEVER TRICK.
