Then one evening as Un cle Bon w a s milking th e cows A u n t Mars- w a n d e red down to tlie liarnyard and sa t dow n beside him on an up turned husliel mea.sure and said; “^ e n jam in, sometliing’s got to he so!” ho gasiied milking. and our Lizzie has fooled aw a s' tim e enough, and now they've either got to get m a rried or break up.” ‘’\Why ma, how you talk!

Now, Benjam in, 3-011 listen.” Uncle Ben leaned hack on his milk Stool a iul li.stcned, and he w a s so in ter ested th a t even 33lien th e old cow got tired of Tvaiting and moved off ho scarcely noticed lier going. T h e talk lasted a q u a rter of an hour, and w hen TOM STOOD TITEI!] MAN TUBNED A u n t M a ry had said her la s t 3Vord, ac companied by a thum p of her list and a “So, there, now!” U n d o Ben gazed a t her adm iringly and exclaiiuod: “By gum, Mai'3', hu t tvliat a woman on a re to think up tilings!” •jT w o da3's later, as Tom Dingwoll ‘cam e over to th e potato field 3vhei Icing and as! he thought I a change In Lizzie's father.

I t took him tw o hours to arrange his thoughts on a string and roach a coii- dusion, and tha.t conclusion w a s: “E3- gum. b u t the old folks w a n t Liz- zio to throw mo over and m a rry some stuck up feller w ith curly hair!” T h e more ho thought of i t th e more firm 33-as his conviction, and he finally became so up s e t over i t th a t ho had to knock oH w o rk and sit on the fence and cheiv straw s. H o ivas ’^ a r d hit and full of trouble, hut ho proposed to die game. In otlior w o rds, he proposed to m a rr3' Lizzie If he had to wafle over th o dead bodies of forty stuck up young men and set a barn or tw o on fire to give Chemung county f a ir w a rn ing. An hour afte r d a rk he appeared a t Uncle Ben’s ivith his Sunday clothes on. n o expected to find Lizzie seated on the. piazza, b u t she w a sn’t there. T h o m o ther had seen to th a t. There w a s a young m a n there, however, and, curiously enough, he hud curly hair, and he w a s stuck up. H e smoked cigarettes ami spoke w ith a draw l. “Ah, yas!

H e had lost Lizzie. She didn’t w a n t to see him, even for a last goodby, and Uncle Ben and A u n t J la r y had no f u r th e r use f o r him. As i t all surged up In his soul he turned, w a lked down th e p a th and out of th e gate and paused not as th e stuck up young m a n called a f t e r him : ^ ‘ I '■■'j th a t 3-0U called.” Tom reached home intending to cut choke him self to death on an early turnip, b u t a ll his head off w ith the ax i of a sudden he began to g e t m a d about it.
