MeCtur ' oooooeofooo Late autumn' bad made tbe bill a riot of crimson-and gold.- At its bane the ' aiders and scrub oaks swayed flaming branches to , tbe November breese, while higher up the sugar ma pies flared masses of 'yellow tawhirrp contrast to thet background of. clear, trtue sky Busy" woodpeckers flitted noisily among tbe branches, and high above them an occasional flock of geese went bonking-Southward. J At high noon the sun seemed poised directly ' above the summit of the hill and the shadows of the trees were scarcely more thanr black dots: A mellow warmth struck down to the very un derbrush, and here and there in the open clusters of hardy gentians lifted - their cups to catch the blue of the sky. A winding path Jlgzagged up the eastern slope of the bill and another path performed similar feats of con tortion along the western slope. Along the first path strode an old man, short, stout and enrrying over his shoulder an ancient fowling piece. Along1 the second path shuffled an old man, tall, gaunt and similarly accoutered. Atth? open ein the summit tbey metj glared nt each other for a space, then leaned wearily on their fowling pieces,, while each mopped his perspiring brow. "WeH; Joel," said the Short one wlio had arrivedby the eastern path, "l reckon we'll settle It up today." "I reckon we will, Obedi." said he of; the western path "Tbe. courts hnlnt done notbln' -'cept take our money." said Obediah, "an' we might go on this Way till tarnation broke, an" I'm gittin' sort of sick of bavin' my beffers shot every time they stray across old Pine hill." "An' I ain't baikerin' to have my dogs pizened nor my sugar maples kill ed," put in Joel. .,"1 .guess I'm full as sick of It as you be," "When my -grah'pap -set that stotie down yondef." "said Obediah, "he knew -what be was doln' of, an' I , guess he didn't cal'fete to have any of his de scendants take back water about it". "Yea, he knew well enough what be 'was a-doln' of," drawled Joel. ""He knew he was settin of It, fifty foot on to my gran'pap's land, an' I don't intend to make my gran'pap an' my daddy turn rto ' their graves by givin' In to your granpnp" wlndllnV'' Obediah' s face grew black. With an ffort he controlled a retort Which had risen fa his Hps. and for awhile there was silence. ' When presently be spoke ' At was in softened tones, f J ? I . "Our gran'paps fit about It, JoeU ao1 hur daddies fit about tt, an one time notberf they's . been, 'considerable many words an blows about that tone They's only me an yon left ' now, two lone old, beaches, an' I guess the only Way we'll ever setUe It is the Tel-sftld"nothlng,'bur caressed the long fowling piece..

Opposite him - Joel followed suit. There was no sound "lave the rustle, of the yellow leaves above their beads and . the rhythmic chug-chug of the' ramrods against tbe gun barrels.. When Obediah had fin ished he marched stiffly into the open and drew himself up with the gun resting in the crook of his arm. Y "I'm all ready. Joel," be said quietly. At once lie felt Joel's back against bis . own. ' . -, -.' '. "So be I the latter spkL . "All right, JoeL Tou count." - "No; you count, Obed!." said JoeLv-, , Falling to come to an agreement on this point, they spun a coin for it. and the lot fell to Obediah. Again ' tljey , took their places back to back In the open, and after many preliminary roughs Obediah began. ' -' " "AH ready, Joel? All right, tlwn. One". lie caught his breath. "Two." ne felt something suspicious ly like a shiver in Joel's back. ' "Three."

"He rla al most at my feet, an' 1 Jest natcberly bad to shoot" "Ton done well to fetch him," said Obediah. - "Pretty heavy charge for short range." he added. . "Like to blow blm to ribbons," said Joel, bending critically over the fallen bird. "I cai'late you'll have to wait till' I load up again, Obedi," he said sheepishly. , Obediah was looking through the sup lit woods," and hU Imagination followed his eyes. & CT J '- 1. f "I should like to fetch one more oi them fellers myself," he said. "Reckon tbe woods Is full. of 'em. 'Pears like I can hear 'em now drnmmln all round old Blng boa"!!i - - y& Joel was reloading the gun. At tbe other's words he paused and for Mix- eral seconds looked thoughtfully at tU sky." ' ' ' i m , Obedi," he said at length, "let's make an afternoon of lt Let's go pa'tridgin? Jest as if that was what we come for. Let's Jest forglt everything but pa'trldges till R o'clock. Then we'll come back here." "Done." said Obediah. All that afternoon two old men, one short and stout, -tbe other tall and gaunt stalked through the underbrush of the Pine hill woods. All that after noon the woods resounded to the boom of heavy fowling pieces and much cackling laughter, and many an un wary partridge f II victim to two old men who Joked and capered like boys. The shadows were lengthening when Joel pulled but an old silver watch and announced It was time for them to be getting back . to the summit. They made the Journey thither in silence, Arrived at the open, Obediah sank on a log and burst into deep guffaws of laughter. "Tarnation?' he said, holding the in verted powderhorn over his hand. "I hain't got nary a charge left" "An' I got Jest half a one." chuckled Joel, turning tbe black grains from bis own horn into his hands. "Obedi," he went on gently, "I don't believe our gran'paps ever thought we'd carry It so fur" . tfy , .;. Obediah rose and placed a band on Joel's shoulder.? .... -t "The trouble with our gran'paps," he announced slowly, "was that they never went pa'tridglnV together.' A rail Dtavaoata. A 'ladyv patient .entered the consult ing room of a physician. The doctor felt her pulse,, looked at her tongue and said, "Madam; .you -should eat less and take more out of door exercise." The advice seemed to be too common for the lady, and she resolved to con sult a notorious quack. ' ; "The only true and legitimate man ner of accounting for your rare dis ease," said tbe quack, "is In the physio logical defects of the membranous sys tem. TThe obtusehess of the spinal abdicittor causes the f t cartilaginous compressor to coagulate into tne aia phragm and thus depresses the. duo denum under the., flandango. . Now, if the disease was caused by the vogation of. the electricity from the appendages the tympanum would dissolve tbe spir itual alnctum and the ossiflcator would ferment in Ihe olfactory, thus becom ing . identical with the plgmentum. Now, as this Is not tbe case. 4n order to produce your, disease ,tbe , spinal ro- tundum must diverge to a point on tbe elliptical spero.. But as I sold before, In order to produce this disease, the ligamentum teres must subtend over the gigitorum to- a degree sufficient to dislodge tbe sterlcoletiim." The lady replied: "l es. - doctor, you doscripe niy case exactly, I'd like you to treat uie. "...

The visit of Rear Admiral Cotton to Beirut with the cruisers Brooklyn and Ban Francisco and the gunboat Ma cbias for the purpose of Investigating the murderous attack on Vice Consul William C. Magelssen will probably be sufficiently prolonged to enable Min ister Leisbman to press a definite' set tlement of a number of matters on which agreements were reached with the Turkish authorities last year. It Is felt in diplomatic circles that demonstration of naval powers In Turkish waters at this time will be an eminently good thing for the dig nity of tl United States, the effect be ing the display to tbe sultan of the ne cessity for controlling his subjects when they are lucllned to deeds against the officers and citizens tf this nation. Beirut on whose coast Admiral Cot ton's ships are assembled, has long been a province of Syria and stretches along the Mediterranean coast from Jebel-el-Akra. south of the Droutes, to the Nahr Zerka. south 6t Mount Camel, and extends from the Mediter ranean to the Jordan. The chief town of the province, Beirut, the seat of the . , , J0H3 O.- A. LKISHltAN. , X , (United States minister., to Turkey. American consulate and where Magels sen was attacked, is the most impor tant seaport In- Syria. It Is situated on the south side of Rt' George's bay, at the foot of Lebanon, t Since the pacifl catlon of Lebanori. after the massacre of the Christians In 1800. the city of Beirut has greatly Increased In extent and has become the center of the trans It trade of Syria.
