"Elder Thomas, you are a brute!
B'poslng It was your wlfeT
"My wife don't sue folks."
There were threats and arguments
and entreaties, but the elder stood firm,
and the victory was his. When Aunt
Hannah had glren her solemn word
to glre up the law, be went after the
clothe. Be not only brought them,
but he brought his wife along as well
and then retired Into the corn and left
the two women together. There were
pledges and promises glren, and for
years It was a mystery to the relieved
cltlseas of Clyde why Aunt Hannah
so suddenly reformed. She died a few
months ago, and so there la no laajgar
occasion for secrecy.

ciation.! For ten jears Aunt Hannah Day,
widow and resident of the village of
Clyde, had been a sort of terror to
most of the residents. She lived alone
and was well to do, and s!ie Just doted
on lawsuits. At the end of ten year
Elder Thomas was about the only clt ,
lzen of the town worth suing who had
not been sued. His time wag close at
hand, however. He bad two hives of
bees In his back yard, and tliey bad
swarmed earlier than was looked for.
Not finding new hives ready, tbey bad
passed over into Aunt Huuuab's or
chard and stung ber and ber cow and
pig before going farther. She decided
to start a suit for damages.
1 Elder Thomas bad never bad a law
suit nor been summoned as a juryman
or witness. He had a dread of the
law, and the knowledge tbat be was
going to be sued set blm trembling. It
was no use for him to go over and see
Aunt Hannab. She never changed ber
mind nor settled a case. He heard of
her decision one morning, and be spent
the forenoon worrying over It. lie was
still worrying after dinner when be
set out with hoe on bis shouldVr to
work In a cornfield half a mile outside
the village. Ou the edge of the field
was a creek, and on the banks of the
creek was an old shed In a tumble
down condition. The elder had been
hilling up corn for about a quarter of
an hour when a voice called to him
from the shed. He raised bis hoiid and
listened, and It called again. lie drop
ped his hoe and took a few steps for
ward. And the voice cried out:
"Stop, Elder Thomas! Stop right
where you are!"
"Who is it?"
"It's me Aunt riannnh."
"Are you In the shed?"
"lea."
"For the land's sake, but what are
you doing- way out here, arid what's
happened to you?"
"You keep your place right where
you are, and I'll tell you. I came out
to pick some blackberries, and after I
got here the fit took me to go In swim
cilng Id the creek. I undressed In the
shed atid paddled round for half an
hour, and when I came out of the wa
ter I found that an Infernal bog had
chewed all my clothes to rags. There
In'tA pjece Jeft ,ju bl as my hang.
I've been waiting here a whole hour."
"But what are you going to do?" ask
ed the elder as he scratched the back
of his head.
'"Don't ask fool questions! I've got
to get home, haven't I? And I can't
get home without some clothes. I'd
need clothes even If I waited till mid
night" "I guess you would; but, yoa see, I
can't lend you any of mine. All I've
got on Is shirt and trousers."
"Who wants to borrow any of you?
I don't, I'm sure. I want you to go
home and tell your wife about It and
bring me back a bundle of her clothes.
You don't s'pose I'd go back to town
In trousers, do you? What you sneak
ing up nlgber for?"
"I wast to sit down on that log and
talk' to you a mlnlt You sent me
word this morning tbat you was going
to sue me about the bees."
"Yes, I did. It was alt your fault,
and you'U have to pay smart money
for it."
It struck the elder as be sat down
on the log that the situation was In his
bands, so to say. The spot was a
quarter of a mile off the road and very
retired. There was hardly a chance of
the woman finding another messenger;
for two or three days. Accident might
enable him to accomplish what dele
gations and committees had failed to.
"Well, why don't you go?" asked
Aunt Hannah after a long minute.'
"Do you think 1 want to stay here all
the afternoon? There may be more'n
forty bogs In my garden by this time.
There are tramps around, and mebbe
some of 'em are robbing the bouse."
"Yes, jest as yon say," replied the
elder, "but I think we'd better nave a
talk before I go after any clothes.
Why should I go after clothes for a
woman who's going to make me trouble-"
"You didn't take care of them bees."
"And you didn't take cars of your
clothes."
"But I've never stopped a lawsuit
and never will."
"And I've never lugged clothes for a
woman fool enough to let a bog chaw
up ber duds. I'll go back to work, and
you can get some one else."
Aunt Hannah was spunky, and she
stood out for half an hour. Then she
called the elder back to the log and
agreed not to begin suit against him.
"That ain't enough," be replied.
"I've been thinking. You've made lota
of folks lots of trouble. Ifs time you
stopped the lawsuit business. If yoa
can't see it that way you'll have to
get out of this trouble as best you caa.
THE BARBER.
