Eunice, but he didn't come down t
details. He didn't ask her to name
the day and arrange the bridal tour.
Eunice liked Abner and bore with bira.
but she was getting rather tired of It
when her Aunt Hannah came oo a
visit Aunt Hannah saw Abner two
or three times, understood his nature
and then said to her niece;
"Look here, you've got a poke of n
man hanging around after you. and It
may be ten years more before he'll
say anything about marriage. Are
you going to put up with It' or do
somethlngT'
"Why. auntie, what can I dor
"Get mad at him and make him
uuna ne s going to ios you.
"He only laughs when I get mad,"
"Then set in and criticise his feet
his nose, his eyebrows. Tell blm that
he's the homeliest man you ever saw."
"I don't think he'd mind It at all." "
"Didn't you ever see him show any
temper?" v
i!Not a bit He was run over by a
drove of hogs oneff'and got np laugh
ing. No. you can't make Abner mad.
He's a poke, but an awfully good.

"And are you going to keep right on
for the next fifty years, are" you?" .

About the hour Abnerjally appear
ed Eunice was sent on an errand to
the other side' of the village, and when
the "poke", arrived Aunt Hannah, was
the one to greet him. , She took him
to the corner of the house where the
barrel stood and promptly began:?
"See here. Mr. Jackson, you've been
dawdling around here for years. What
are you after?" v
"Why why" he. srramered 4
"IH never come asalar
Abner ia a changed voice.
, "That's good. That's what I want
ed to bear you say. Go and scrnat

liest girl la the country to match you.
The first time I saw you I knew yon
rwas a poke of a man and you hadn't
grit enough to push a toad off Its nest"
"Woman, be careful! If you aggra
vate me too much '
"Aggravate an old poke! Why, man,
it would take you three years to get
mad, even li you started in tonight" j '
Ibe next thing she knew she wu
beng lifted off her feet in Abners
strong arms and deposited In tfc Landy
barrel. 1 Before she could yelp twice1
the barrel was whirled on its side
and given a kick to start It down the
slope. It took an erratic course. It
ran to the light a few feet and then
shied to the left , It stopped for a
moment at a gooseberry bush and
then dodged and Jumped clear over a
crabapple tree. There were yelling and
screaming from the Inmate of the bar
rel, but Abner stood and watched the
ctrcus and shouted back
"rm a poke, am I? I'm a squatter,
am I? I've got bowlegs and bumped
shoulders and, feet like en elephant!
Gol dura your hide, roll onr,
And the barrel rolled, and Aunt Han
nab' rolled, and neither of them stop
ped rolling till the barrel, crashed
through the fence and brought; up
against a shade tree la the street- No
one was killed. No bones were broken.
Aunt Hannah crept out and up to the

' "And you went?"
."Tea. ana we were married. 1 I had

but the awfulest, determlnedest man
