BY EDWARD
(CONTINUED,)
On this particular plashing there
seemed to be some unusual excite-
ment. Ralph perceived it as be rode
up. An excited crowd, even though
it be at a church -door on Sunday
morning, Can not conceal its agitation,
Ralph deposited Miss IIawkins ou the
stile, and then got down himself, and
paid her the closest attention. to the
door. This attention; was for Bud's
benefit. Iut Bud only stood with
his elands in his poekets, scowling
worse than ever. Ralph slid not go
in at the door. It lvf s not the J?lat
Creek e1e4toilt. The' men gossiped
outside while the lv(.alen chattered
within.. Whatever nary have . been
the cause of tate excitement, Ralph
could not get at it. When he entered
a little knot of people they became
embarrassed, the group dissolved,
and its component parts joined other
companies. What had the current
.of conversation to do" With him? He
.overheard Pete JoneS saying that the
blamed old wooden leg was in it
,anyhow. He'd been seen goin' house
at two i11 the 1110rnin'. And he could
name somebody else ef lie cheesed.
But it was. best to clean up one at
a time. And just then there Was a.
murmur : "Meetin's took up." And
the masculine element filled the empty
Half of the "!sewed -log' church.
When Ralph saw Manual looking
utterly dejected, his heatrt smote hhn,
and the great struggle set 111 again.
Had it not been for the thought of
the other battle, and the comforting
presence of the IIelper, I fear Bud's
interests would have. fared badly.
But Ralph,with the spirit of a martyr,
resolved to wait until be knew what
the result of Bud's suit should be,
and whether, indeed, the young
Goliath had prior ; claims, as 11e
evidently thought • he had. He
turned hopefully to the sermon, de -
islitu that he'd feet like he was fight-

[Ralph could•ndt help reflecting that
there was a mighty sight of resem-
