"Wa'al," said David, taking the last
of his pudxling into his mouth, "if
you insist on't, painful as it is. I
heard Dick Larrabee tellin' about it.
Agri -told Dick day before yestidy,
that he was thinkin' of getin' mar-
r1ed, a' ast him to go along with
him to Parson' White's an' be a wit-
ness, an' I- reckon a kind •`of moral
support: When it conies to moral
supportin'," remarked David in pass-
. Ing, "Dick's as good as a profession-
al, an' he'd go an' see his gran'rnother

'n miss
anythin'in
an'
never let his cigar ge . out durin' the
performance. Dick said he congrati-
lated to Am on
dhischoice, ch ce, an' said he
reckoned they'd be putty ekally yoked
together, if nothin' else."
Here 13 David vm leanedr
eve toward
Aunt Polly and said, protestingly,
"Don't gi' .me but jest a teasp'nful
o' that ice cream. I'm so full now
't I can't hardly reach the table."
He took a taste of the cream and re-
surned.

son White, scowlin' fust at one an'

thought we might 's well.
" 'What have you got to get mar-
ried on?' says the dominie after a
minute. 'Anythin' i' he says. - •
Wa'al,' says Am, droppin' his
head sideways an' borin' into. his ear
'ith his middle finger, 'I got the pro-
mise mebbe of a job, o' work ter a

says the dominie, lookin' at him.

Lize. 'I've got ninety cents comin'
to me .fer some work I, done last
week,' she says, wiltin' down onto
the sofy an' beginnin' to snivvle.
Dick says that at that the dominie
turned round an' -walked' to the. anther
end of r the -room, an' he c'd see he
was dyin' to laugh, but he come back
with a straight face.
" 'How old air you," Shapless ?" be

says Am.

Waal, Dick says at that the dom-
inie give a kind of a choke, an' Dick
he burst right out, an' Lize looked
at him as if she e'd eat him. Dick
said the dominie didn't say anythin'
fer a minute or -two, an' then he says
to Am, I suppose you e'd find some-
body that'll marry you, but I cer-
t'inly won't, an'
what possesses you
td commit such a piece o' folly,' he
says, `passes my understandin'. What
earthly reason have you fer wantin'
to marry? On your own showin',' he
says, 'neither one o' you -s got a cent
'o' money or any settled way d' gettin'
any'
"� 'That'jest
jest the very .reason,'
says Am, 'that's the very reason.
I havn't got nothin', an' Mia Annis
hain't got nothin', an' we figured that
we'd jest get married an' settle down,
,
an'make a .good home fe us both,,
an' if that ain't • good! reasonin',"
David concluded, "I don't know what
is." .
"A, be
they aetilly . married? '
asked Mrs. Bixbee, still incredulous
of anything a®. preposterous.
"So Dick says," *as the reply.
"He says Am: an' Lize come away
f'zn Ake dominie's putty down ha the
. mouth, but 'fore long Amri braced
up an' allowed that if he had half a
dollar' 'he'd try the' squire in the
mornin', an' Ditok let him have it. I
says to Dick, 'You're out fifty cents
on that deal,' an' he says, slappin'
his lag, 'I don't give a dam,' h says;
I wouldn't 'a' missed it fer double the
mono! "
Here David folded his napkin and
put it in the ring, and John flnished'
the cup of clear coffee which . Aunt
Polly, rather under protest, had given
him. Coffee waritbout cream and sugar
was incomprehensible to Mrs. Rix -
bee. -
CHAPTER XXV.
Two err three days after Christmas
John was sitting in his room in the
evening wheii there came a knock at
the door, and to his " come lei" there
entered Mr. Varum, who was warmly
-welcomed
andentreated to -take k the
bigi
chair, which, after a cursory sur-

"I was never more o e co b

has been - kindness itself, and even
permits me to smoke in the room.
Let me give you a cigar`."
"Heh! You got putty well 'round
Polly, I reckon," said David, iooking
around the room as he Bighted the
cigar, " an' I'm glad you're comf't-
able—I reckon 't is a shade-. better 'n
the Eagle," he remarked, with - his
characteristic chuckle.
"I should say so," said John em-
phatically, "and 1 am more obliged
than I can tell you."
"All Polly's doin'a," asserted David,
holding the end of hi cigar critically
under his nose. "That's a trifle better

them with a notion of his hand, "tha
to about now you ben in the habi
of figurin' the other way mostly."
"Too much so, perhaps," said John;
"but yet, after all, I don't think I.
ant sorry. I wouldn't spend' the money
for those thing now, but. I am glad
I I bought them when - I did."
"Jess so,_ jess so," said David ap-
preciatively. He reached over to the
table and laid his cigar on the edge
of a book, and, reaching for his hip
pocket, produced .a silver tobacco box
at which he looked contemplatively
for a moment, opening and shutting
the lid with a snap.
"There," he safd, holding it out on
his palm, "I was twenty years nmakin'
up my mina Ito buy that box, an' to
this day I can't bring myself to carry
it all the'tiine. ' I don't mean to say
thatdidn't spend thewuth of itfo a 1-
I �

couldn't never make up my mind, to
put that amount o' money into that
pertic'ler thing. I was alwus figurin'
that some day I'd have a silver tobacco
box, an' I sometimes think the reason
it seemed so extrav' . •' , an' I put it
off so long, was bee: use I wanted it
so much. Now I s'. + se you couldn't
understand that, could ye ?" .
"Yes," said John, re:Aiding his head
thoughtfully, "I think 1 tan under-
stand it perfectly," and indeed it spoke
pages of David's biography.
"Yes, sir," said David, ' "I never
,spent a small amount o' money but
one other time an' got so much value,
only I alwus ben kickin' myself to
think I didn't do it sooner."
""Perhaps," suggested- John, "you
enjoyed itallthe more for waiting so
long," -
"No," said David, "it wa'n't that—
I dunno--'t was fhe feelin' 't I'd got
there at last, I guess. Fur 's wait -
in' fer things is concerned, the' is
such a thing as waitin' too long. Your

think when I was a youngster that
if ever 1I got where I c'd have all the
custard pie I c'd eat that'd be all 't
I'd- ask fer. I used to imagine bein'
baked into one an' eatin' my way out,
Nowadays the's' a good many things
I'd sooner have than custard pie,
theiugh," he said with ' a wink, ' "1
gen'ally do eat two pieces jest to
please Polly."
'John laughed. "What was the other
thing?" he asked.
"Other thing I once - bought?"
queried David. "Oh, yes, it was the
fust hoes I ever owned. I give fifteen
dollars fer him, an' if he wa'n't a
dandy you needn't . pay me a cent.
Crowbait wa'n't no: name "fer him. He
was stun blind on the off side, an'
couldn't see anything in pertic'Ier on
the nigh side—couldn't get . nigh
'nough, I reckon -I. -an' had most ev'ry-
thin' wrong with him that c'd ail a

old then, an' was helpin' lock -tender
on the Erie Canal; an' when the'
wa'n't no boat goin' through I- put
in, most o' my time cleanin' that hoss.
If he got through 'th less 'n six times
a day he got off cheap, an' once I
got up an' give him a little attention
at night. Yes, sir, if I got big money's
wuth out o'that box it was mostly
a matter of` feelin'; but as fud -'s that
old plugamore of a hoss was con-
cerned, I got it both ways, for I got
my fust real start out of his old
carkiss."
"Yes?" said John encouragingly.
"Yes, sir," affirmed David, "I
cleaned him up, an' fed him up, an'
almost 'got 'im so'st he c'd see enough
out of his left eye to shy at a load
of hay close by; an' fin'ly traded him
off fer+ another record -breaker an'

"Were you as enthusiastic over the
next one as 'the first?” asked John,
laughing.
"1a'al," replied David, relighting
his temporarily abandoned cigar a-
gainst a protest and proffer of a fresh
one—"wa'al, he didn't lay holt of my
affections to quite the same extent.
I done my duty by him,- but I didn't
set up with him nights. Yousee,"
he added with - a grin, "I'd -got some
used to bein' a boss owner, an' the
edge had wore off sone." He smok-
ed for a minute or two in silence,
with as much apparent relish as if
the cigar had not been stale.
"Aren't you going on?" asked John
at last.
"Wa'al," he replied, pleased with
his audience, "1 c'd go on, I - s'pose,
fast enough an' fur' enough but I
don't want to tire ye out. I reckon
you never had.. much to do with
canals ?"
"No," said John, smiling, "I can't
say that - I have, but I know some-
thing about the subject in a general
way, and there is no fear of your
tiring me out."
"All right," proceeded David, "As
I was sayin'I got another equine
wonder an' fl,teen dollars to boot fer
my old plug, an' it wa'n't a great while
before I was in the -hose bus'nis to
stay. After between two an' three
years I had fifty or sixty bosses an'
mules, an' took all sorts of towin'
jobs. Then a. big towiti' concern quit

an got my money back three four
times over, an' by , the time 1 was

David
took ou � '
t his
n if
�kn e and
proceeded to impale his cigar upon
the blade thereof. "No," he said, to
John's proffer of the box, "this '11
last quite a spell yet. Wa'al," he re-
sumed after a moment, in. reply to
John's remark, "viewin' it all by it-
self, it was a hard life. A thing is
hard though, I reckon, because it's
harder 'n somethin' else or, you think
so. Most things 'go by eomparin'.
I s'pose if the - gen'ral run of trotters
never got better 'n three 'n a half
that a hoss that c'd do, it in three 'd
be fast, but we don't call 'em nowa-

"No, really," John protested, "don't
go ,yet. I have a little . proposal to
make to
you,"
and
hegot
Y
up and
brought , a bottle from the .bottom
of the washstand. -

• "That you take another cigar and
a little of this," holding up the bottle:
"Got t any glasses ?" asked I.?avid
with practical mind.
"One and a tooth mug," replied
John,
laughing, "Glass for you, tooth
mug fer me. Tastes just as good
-out of a. tooth mug."
"Wa'al," said David, with a comi-
cal air of yielding as lie took the
.lass and held It out -to John, "under

days. I s'pose if at that same -age
you'd had to. tackle the life you'd 'a'
found it hard, an' the' was hard things
about it—trampin' all night in the
rain, fer instance; sleepin in barns
at times, an'1
all
that;an'once oceth
the
cap'n o' the heat got mad at somethin'
an' pitched nie head over heels into
the canal, It was about the close of
navigation an' -the' was a scunri of
ice. I scrambled out somehow, but
she wouldn't 'a' eared if I'd ben drown-
ed. He was an exception, though.
The canalers was a rough pet in gen'-
ral, but they averaged fer disposition
'bout like the ord'nary run o' folks;
the was mean ones an' clever ones;
them that would put upon ye, an'
them that would treat ye decent. The
work was hard an' the grub `alwus
much better 'n what you—he, he, he!
—what you ben gettin' at.the Eagle"
(John was now by the way of rather
relishing jokes on that subject); "but
I hadn't ben raised in the lap o' lux-
ury—not to any consid'able extent ---
not enough to stick m y nose up.much.
The men I worked fer was rough,
an' ¢I got my share of cusses an'
cuffs, an' once in a while it kick to
keep up my spirit of - perseverance;
but, on the hull, I think I got more
kindness 'n I did at horde (leavin'
Polly out), an' as fer gen'ral treat-
ment, none of 'em,-c'd come up to xny
father, an' wuss yet, my oldest -bro-
ther 'Lisp. The cap'n that throwed
me overboard was the wast, but along-
side' o' 'Lisp he was a forty hosspower
angf1 with a hull music store o' harps;
an' even my father c'd 'a' given him
cards an' spades; an' as fer the vie-
tuals" (here David dropped his cigar -
end and pulled from his pocket the
silver tobacco box! "as fer the vic-
tuals," he repeated► "they . mostly
averaged up putty high after what I'd
ben used to. Why, I don't believe I
ever tasted a piece of beefsteak or
roast beef in my life till after I left
home. When we -had meat at all it
was pork—boiled pork, fried pork,
pigs' liver, an', all that, enough to
make you 'shamed to look a pig in
the face—an' fer the rest, potatoes
an' duff, an' johnny-cake, an' meal
mush, an' milk emptins bread that
you c'd smell a mile after it got cold.
With '!even folks on a small farm
nuthin' c'd afford to be eat that c'd
be- sold, an' ev'rythin' that couldn't
be sold had to be eat. Once in a
while the' 'd be pie of some kind, or
gingerbread; but with '!even to eat
'em I.' didn't ever git more 'n enough
to set me hankerin'."
"I must say that I think I should
have liked the ,canal better," remark-
ed John as David paused. "You were,
at any rate, more or less free--that-
is, comparatively, I should say."
"Yes, sir, I did," said David, "an'
I never see the time, no matter how
rough things was, that I wished I
was back on Buxton Hill. I used to
want to see Polly putty bad once iit

Medical authorities state that nearly nine -
tenths of the cases of stomach troi,tble, indi.
motion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating,
nausea, ete., are due to an excess of byelre-
ehloric acid in the stomach, and- not as some

sufferer knotins so Well. ' -
Artificial digestents are not needed in such
cases and may do rest harm. Try- laying
aside all digestive aids and instead get from
any druggist a few ounces of fnisurated
Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a ctusrter
gisse of water right .atter eating. This
sweetens the stomsae<l�, prevents the formation
of •exce acid and there is no sourness,. gap
or pain. Aieuralted Msanesis (in powder or

He looked up and gave a short
laugh. ' "Speakin' of canals," he said,
as if the subject had only been casual-

"Yes?" said' John.
"E -up," said David. "That old
