A well known authority, in treatise
on billiards, by way, of warning to the

calls the marker John, for verily he is a
harp.'' With all due deference to the writ

experience' is 'in direct antipodes to his
aphorism. The sharp of today is not so

At the commencement of the game he in

draw Mandy toward himself, bnt Mandy
with flashing eyes arose to her feet, and
as she did so gave him a smart slap in
the face and said: . , , t ,
, "Van Jones, yer a fool! Ye take yer
self right off from here or I'll call pa.
I've been a-tryin to reason with yer as a
friend, bnt 1 see yer ain't got no sense.
Tuar'a the door, and don't yer never
come back here again."
"But, Mandy"
K "Don't Mandy me pa!" : -
Van did not stop to meet "pa," bnt
took np his bat and, witb a scowl on his
face and an oath in his heart, left the
house. He was an ill visaged fellow.
Bis features wore the unmistakable
marks of cruelty, cunning and sensual
ity. His face was dark naturally, bnt it
was colored a deeper dye by the smoke
of his forge, for Van was the black
smith of Chincapin Hollow. His burly
black head was set upon a thick neck
and thus fastened to herculean trunk.
He had all the characteristics of cruel
and ferocious being. He wended his
way slowly up the Hollow, muttering
curses as he went.
"I know who she's stuck on; its that
darn Sam Oray, bat by thunder I'll get
even with 'em," be hissed between his
teeth. "She wouldn't own to to it, bnt
I've had my eye on him, confound him."
It was a lovely Sunday evening in the
month of September, in that part of Ar
kansas 1 called the Boston mountains.
The sides of the mountains were covered
with luxuriant chincapins, scrubby oaks
and trailing, heavy laden muscadines.
The scenery in Chincapin Hollow was
delightful to one in a frame of mind to
enjoy it, bnt Van Jones saw none of its
beauties, in fact it is doubtful if he ever
was conscious of them. , ' -
If he took any further notice of them
at all it was as rock, water and brush.
He soon reached his shop, which stood
some distance np the hollow,. It was
an old log building, whose caving roof
bore a striking resemblance to a sway
back horse. The tottering chimney vis
ible above the gable had the rakish air
of a battered silk tile on a drunken
sailor. The door, bung on a single
hinge, and being partly open, exposed
the interior of the building to view.
The tools were lying promiscuously
around, and it was evident that Van was
net a neat shopkeeper.. . He entered the
building, still bitterly cursing bis luck
and swearing vengeance against his
rival. '.' - ' ' ' '
"IU get even with him if it takes fifty
years." be snarled. - "He shan t marry
Mandy Piggin because he s got a good
farm and a horse or two more'n I've (
got, I'll get even with him if I've got
to burn bis barn or pizen his well. 1 11
let him know that the man he's buckin
agin in this business am t no slouch, ,
and a diabolical scowl settled over his
features as he ceased muttering and
drew from his pocket a large clasp
knife, which he proceeded to sharpen I
upon a grindstone. I
While Van was thus occupied the sun
was slowly sinking. Long shadows fell
across the Hollow. , Gradually the dis-'
tant mountain tops were wrapped in
roseate mists, and over the valleys float-1
ed purple vapors. The shadows begin
to deepen in the Hollow, and finally the
last ray of light vanishes from the moun- I
tain's peak. First one bright star and
then another rises in the east,' peering I
down into the shadows below. Slowly j
the heavens become decked with the
myriads of bright scintillating gems of ,
night. It is a calm delightful night in
early autumn; tbe pure mountain air,
like an ethereal elixir, exhilarates and
cheers both man and beast. . I
In tbe starlit night a man on horse
back, is seen slowly riding toward Jef
ferson Piggin's house. ' He seems to be j
in no hurry, for he allows the splendid
mare he. is tjding to choose her own

pletely.". . :.s
Mandy turned as red as a hollyhock.
and it seemed to Sam that the weight of
her shoulder increased as tt rested heavi
ly against him. Whether he feared
that he could not thns support her
weight or that she would fall, he sud
denly clasped her iu bis arms. She
threw her arms around his neck and
sweetly whispered in his ear. "I luv yer.
Sam. and I'll have yer."
A pair of wicked eyes gleamed through
the single, uncurtained window at the
picture. The eyes were those oi .Van
Jones. '
"Ah! yer there, are yer, blast yer!"
fre ground between his teeth. "Well,
I'd like ter kill yer both, but I'll not do
it tonight But 1 know what 1 can do;
t can spile the beauty of this yer fine
mare o' his'n. He'll never know who
dun it," and walking to where Sam's
mare stood patiently awaiting her mas
ter's return, he whipped bis knife from
his pocket and in another instant cut off
both of the poor animal's ears close to
her bead.- .
"There now," he growled to himeelf.
"Sam Gray, I know that'll almost kill
yer when ye see it 1 wish to God it
would," and the brute slunk off in the
darkness to his den.
When Sam Gray on the following
morning discovered the disfigurement of
his beat horse by the loss of both her
ears he was the maddest man in "seven
states." Yet he held his tongue. Sam
was not a man to make threats. He was
a reticent fellow and kept his tronbles
to himself. Bnt he was mad, and in his
heart he swore to be revenged on the one
who had perpetrated tbe outrage. The
first person whom be suspected was Van
Jones. He knew bis rival's dastardly
nature full well.
He took out his claspknife and care
fully examined its edge. It seemed to
be satisfactory. Without saying a word
to any one . he leisurely walked into
Van's shop.1 The latter was pumping
away at his bellows.
"Van," he began, "ye" ve cut off my
mare's ears, and I've come here to settle
with yer." j' ,.j ,;'; n . ..i
"I didn't do anything of the kind, Sam
Gray, and yer know it," snarled Van.
"I didn't , come ter argy with yer,
Van. Git down on yer knees," and as
he spoke Sam threw tbe cold muzzle of
his pistol in Van's face. i ' " -t
"Good God! yer not goin to kill me,
ir yer, Sam?" piteously cried the cring
ing coward as he. sank to his knees.
Lord, Sam, don't kill me! i Fer mercy
sake, take that pistol away . from my
head!" .:,,'.,-,...' ,-:
i "Yer didn't have any mercy on my
mare, Van. But yer needn't ter, be
afraid. I ain't ter goin to kill yer, bus
IVe a great mind ter. I'm just goin to
trim them ears o' yers like yer trimmea
the mare's."
With the pistol still leveled at Van's
toad, Sam drew his knife from his
pocket, opened it with his teeth, and
with two rapid strokes the man's ears
lay upon the ground... Turning to the
horrified wretch, who seemed hardly
conscious 'of his condition, Ham said,
"That makes us even up ter date, Van,"
and left the shop. ArkanBaw Traveler,
