t WHEN the DEACONTJ

CALLEDC-

i 0 lIOCS

About the time there was an escapefrom the asylum at Petersboro FarmerGreggs sister a widow came for avisit Mrs Gregg proposed that theymake a match between the widow andDeacon Watklns and he was invitedto call One afternoon the farmer andhis wife set out for town leaving theirguest all alone This was the after-noon

¬

selected by Deacon Watkins forhis call

There were reasons wily the deaconarrived at the Gregg homestead in a

rather excited condition lie was kick ¬

ed by one of his cows Just before leav-ing

¬

home one of the hogs got caughtIn the fence and had to be released a-

stray bull that he encountered in theroad ran him up a wild cherry treeand In some of the adventures he lusta jackknife that used to belong to his I

grandfather He was therefore inureor less perturbed when he knocked atthe kitchen door and then entered tofind the widow asleep In the room be ¬

yond lie haul turned to retreat whenshe a voLc aril uttered u scream atsight of him She had boon diva winof that useaped lunatic Sue haddreamed that he lead his fingers on herthroat and was choking her to deathand here he was before her The dea-con

¬

muttered his name and an apologyud the widow sat up She had readand heard a great deal about lunatics t

and how they should be treated Thisone didnt look very tierce but shemust be careful not to arouse himShe must be soft and gentle and dis-sembling

¬

Therefore PS soon as shecould catch her breath she smilinglyasked the deacon If he wouldnt sitdown He replied that he would aulddid lie didnt ask for the Grepgs

I

Not seeing them about he inferred that I

they had gone to townI

The widow had been told always tolook a mad dog or a lunatic in the eyeAs she kept her eyes on the deacon sheread cunning craft and cruelty In hisface and she realized that her life wasat stake It was rather embarrassingfor the caller but he talked about In ¬

dians Canadian thistles potato bugs I

and the weather and grew more at I

ease as the minutes slipped away Onher part the widow tried to be as en-

tertaining¬

but it was hard work Thefear was constantly present that thelunatic would suddenly break out audrend her limb by limb She washysterical but she didnt cease tosmile When the deacon finally gotaround to tell her of his trials and mis ¬

fortunes he found u sympathetic listen-er

¬

She had read that she must al-

ways¬

pretend to sympathize with theinsane anti she made the effort of herlife By and by her caller went fur¬

ther He said that when his dear com-panion

¬

dlel he made up his mind never-to marry again but it was possible-that he would change his mind if he-

met the right party It was lonesomeliving all alone and having no one topet It was so lonesome that some-times

¬

he went out and sought the com ¬

panionship of the oxenThe widow had been told that she

must seem to agree with a lunatic andshe heaved a sigh and replied to thedeacon by saying that when she hadlaid her Joseph ueath the weepingwillow she thought the light had goneout forever Time had assuaged hergrief and caused her to change hermind She had come to feel that per-haps

¬

It was even her duty to marryagain Sate could cook wash bake

1iron make soft soap and all kinds of

Ipreserves and for three years running-her crazy quilts and rag carpets hadtaken first prizes at the county fairThe deacon then hinted that by hardwork and industry he had accumulated-about 8000 worth of property Thewidow saw his object and stated thather Joseph left her about that amountand she had increased it somewhat-As a matter of fact she lied about itbut she had read that one must always-lie to lunatics and she didnt propose-to provoke the one before her

Deacon Watkins became interested-He admired He would come againIf his lost relict was to be replacedIndiana should have a fair chance inthe race He liked that smile Heliked that chatter He liked a womanthat could hustle with the houseworkand knew by Instinct when a boileddinner was ready to put on the tableHe got up to go hind the widow feltthat her life was saved He lingeredwith his hand on the back of his chairand her throat constricted He mightor might not have taken his leave assoon as he had finished telling her thathe thought ailing humanity ought todrink more catnip tea when steps wereheard outside A hog buyer and a tinpeddler had arrived in chorus Thewidow cried Come In 1 and theycame but the Instant they entered shecried something else Pointing to thedeacon she half shrieked

Secure him He is an escaped lu-

natic¬

Then the deacon was thrown on Illsback and tied up with the clothesline-and threatened with death and though-he stuttered and stammered no atten ¬

tion was paid to hits He was bun-dled

¬

into the drovers cart and joggedover to the asylum and it was onlythen that any attention was paid to hisremarks When the Greggs returnedand found out what had happened thefarmer went over to see his neighborHe found him sitting on the backdoorstep with a lonesome look on hisface

Oh deacon I have come over to sayto you he began when the deaconlooked up and carelessly interrupted-with

Courage and ChangeThe dine I most admire a woman

said the gray headed man Is whenshe tries to get a bill changed I ad¬

mire her then for her splendid courageGive a woman a ten dollar bill thatshe wants changed and she will walkunconcernedly into any shop In townand request the proprietor to give hertwo fives or ten ones or whatever de-

nomination¬

she happens to need Shenever offers to buy anything to com ¬

pensate him for his trouble I haveknown my wife to get change from agrocer a butcher a druggist a sta ¬

tioner a cigar dealer and a florist with ¬

out spending one cent In their storesAnd all those tradesmen were perfectstrangers She simply wanted change-and walked In and asked for It

Contrast her calm serenity with thedish rag will of the average man Inneed of change lie would rather beshot than just ask for It He will buysomething as an excuse for the trans ¬

I action even if It Is something that hecouldnt make use of this side ofdoomsday and that he has to throwaway the minute he turns the corner-In the matter of economy alone It Is apity he cant be as brave as a woman
