Ezra did not chew plug, but circum stances forced him to sell It and that Is why, on this particular raw fall day in Platts Corners, Ezra and "Hank' faced each other over the chocolate-col ored counter and exchanged ' pastoral courtesies. - - Cold enough for you, Hank ?" queried the clerk, shoving the packages toward his customer, graciously. - " " "Purty durned chisely, Ez,"; fum bling beneath the' bunglesome overall for a roll of bills in his hip " pocket How much?"- .

Ezra i Norton, shivering' at ther sudden Inclemency bf Boreas, "opened the -door , of the cavent- ous sheet-iron stove and peered within its sooty maw. The accumulated debris from the sweeping? half-filled the heat; er, and would make a-wholesome blaze with the scattered wbittlings, left by the dilatory- loafer of tho village dur-, ing the morning, as they -whittled and sailed the ship of state. A . t i t Every, -little helps!4' mused the clerk in ancient axiom, reaching' for the broom.' ':.";-!';.""' v : ' Golh'' to freshen 'er up a bit, be ye?" quired Alf. Sculggs, forging;.

' . . - Ezra Norton gasped! 'That's a riBky place for Hetty Brown to be losing her money, Alf!" excitedly, after a moment's hesitation. "She's just left, too! : Here," hurriedly thrusting the money Into his pocket' "you watch the store a minute and 111 just run and catch her! She leaves for Denver to night!" . ... v , "Sure, Ezsure! Skip! I won't suck no eggs while yer gone! Git!'- : Norton slammed the door behind him. and Alf, raising the lid to the cheese box with alacrity in his heart and wa ter in his mouth, cut oft a liberal "hunk" of cheese. : Cramming this " Into his cheeks, he speared a half dozen olives, took a splinter of eod-fish and an apple, and grinned! ;:.

"Said she couldn't have gone west without It Lucky, wasn't It?". - ' ; ' x : "How how .

"Looked to me like it 'ud most choke a cow," grinned Alf, gazing longingly at the cheeee-box. "One-dollar bills, I s'pose, mostly I" . "I suppose , so,'V acquieeced ,!.. Bzra. "Have a cigar, Alf?" - "N o, thank ye," reaching eagerly for It, "I don't smoke ae-gars any more, ceptln when I kin git. 'em! Haw!

Orocer BIngton mad Clerk Norton were- talking it over, earnestly, as lie came the subject In hand. ' ? ; -"Kzra, we've belonged to the same church for ten years, you've been a good clerk, and I ain't never found nothing rong, and personally I doa't bUeva you took that money " . ,"I didn't," interrupted Bxm, dogge41y "I didn't!" 7' "And while, of course, there's a lot of talk going around about Hank suing you, and some folks are criticising me for keeping you here till it's cleared up, I just tell you what I'd do," and Grocer BIngton bVought down his fat hand on the top of a sugar barrel. : "If I had that money, I'd confess,- and give it up but If I didn't, I'd see.'em in Hh Hanover first! That'a what I'd do!" .-. j . "And that's Just ;what I'm going to do, Mr. Bingtoa! ; answered Ezra, a gleam of determination in his eye. "Let me off to-day, -and I'll get my defens ready ajid- begin the fight It's rainy, and bad, anyhow,; and there won't be much doing.. What do you say can I get off?" . " : : . - " - -?Ot coarse you ttan Eera. " I'm iust tut anxious as yon are to get this thing settled," agreed the grocer, "and the sooner it's settled the better!" It was dusk of the same rain-whipped day. The lone shack of Henry Somers could scarcely be seen from the main road, now inches deep with wet slippery clay, but a sopped and bedraggled pe destrian turning in at the gateway made straight for the hut A vigorous rapping brbught "Hank" to the door, candle in hand, and a cob pipe between his teeth. "Well, Ezra Norton!" cried the ranch er, "be you plum crazy? Come right in!" ' ' - " Hank "1 blurted Norton, "I No, I ain't coming In "Hank,' I hear that you say I got the $80 you lost in town last week but "Hank, I I didn't! didn't find your money,' and I ain't guilty" tremblingly, "but this talk and suspicion is 'killing my" wife,- and It's hurting me. As a member of the church, and an honorable citizen, I'd I'd rath .er pay you this money than be called a tthief ! I ain't got It now, but I'll getit and pay. ypu next week when you come to town No, I won't come in. aod Pm going hack now the way I came. I just wanted you to know, that's all." And before the astonished "ajid" half convinced Henry' .could interfere, Ezra Norton "had . turned toward, the-teri-miles of black and sticky road,, and was awal-. lowed by the pluto'nian darkness. : "Well, I swan ! "; growled Somers, "ef that feller don't beat me!" , ; Grocer ' Bihgton' was reading" the mdrhing paper when," three weeks later, "Hank" Somers, muchVexcited and evi dently bursting with concealed Intelli gence, Clandestinely slipped through the rear door of the store and beckoned cau tiously to "BIngton to f ollow him into the . alley..

In his heart, however, he, rejoiced- that, the 'stigma attached to the good name of Ills clerk could how be lifted. He would put the letters in the safe and save the sur prise until evening, when the village "strategy board" met about the grocery stove to settle-"pints" of state! 'He would then bring out the evidence, and, -having rendered it, would hand over the mittens to Ezra with a nice little speech, and the Incident would he closed -with the clerk's complete vindication! v Thrusting the. proof of Norton's In nocence Into the safe, he slammed shut tne ponderous door.
