A BASHFUL MAN'S
LOVE STORY
How He Came to Win the
Girl of His Choice.
"Henry Teale In n gawkl"
I heard the wordu acnwH the garden
wall. I am Henry I'onle. The xpcaU
cr waH Kilte Hnrker who wiih talking
with bur coiihIii, MuiI'jii Drnwne.
"Hut bo liiiowH tbliiRH," repllftl .Mar

too biiHhful nnd reHerred to (ell wbwt

plnco who duesu'l dreinl to be left
alone with hi in."
"Don't you think Home of ilieui
might overcome I heir 11 version If lie
should suddenly become en 11 by ':"
"I don't think 1 could stand Dim If
he were worih"
I was lying In a immrnecl: In Hie
back yard rending. I got up and went
Into the house, but us tills sentp or
couversiitliln occupied but 11 few 1110
ineiiis I could not very well avoid
hearing It. To do tnyxeir Justice. 1 did
not wish 10 hear myself dlsctifscd.
Kate Hurker's remarks were Intensely
painful to me. so painful that I re
solved to leave the pluce of my-hlnh
and go forth Into the great world. bu
lug to forget them.
I did not forget them, but I had the
Bensltlreiie.is knocked out of me very
quickly. I made money, made It out
of nothing, and to do this I was oblig
ed to muster my feelings. "To those
who have shall be given." mid by the
death of nn aiitit 1 Inherited a for
tune. I owned the little tumbledown
house with the acre of ground alwut
It In which I hud lived with my moth
er, and since she wiih no longer living
I resolved to go back nnd dlspine of
It. The day after my arrival I rigged
a hammock in the back yard and lay
down In It wltb a cigar and a o-iok.
Pretty soon 1 beard voices over tbo
wall.
"Have you seen him J"
"Yes: I was peeping through the
blinds when be en me."
I recognized the tlMt voice as flint of
Marion, the second us that of Kate.
This was all I hlard. for the two girls
passed out of hearlug.
In tho evening 1 called on my neigh
bor Kate Hnrker received me as If I
wero her oldest nnd best frleud. mak
ing no attempt to conceal the favor I
bad found lu her eyes since she bad
pronounced me n gawk. Marlon was
very reserved. Indeed, hail 1 been n
unsophisticated as when I had hoard
her say "Hut he knows things!" 1
should have conrluded that she had
turned ngnlnst mi. Hut n man enn't
make money wit boot gaining n know)
edge of humaa uture. I suspected
that Marlon bow beld aloof from a
feeling that sine I had become n de
sirable "catch" It wns not her place to
court me.
"You young ladles must be more
careful as to your words." I said, "lie
fore 1 went away I overheard n scrap
of conversation with regard to me that
gave me great pain."
Hotb looked at me uneasily.
"You two were talking In the gar
den. One said. 'He's n gawk!' tbo oth
er. 'Hut he knows things!' "
The two girls looked at each othet
Inquiringly.
"I remember no such conversation,'
said Kate. Marlon wns silent.
"Do you. .Marlon?" I asked.
"No. but candor compels me to say
that at that tlmo the criticisms were
Just."
"The first surely was. though I nra
not so certain about tho second. Hut
the Justness of it nil could hnvo no
effect on n boy of nineteen. I have fot
yeara felt hnrshly townrd the one whe
colled mo n gnwk nnd kindly to ber
who said 'Hut ho knows things!' "
"Then you recognized their voices,"

and massive, with thick, short horns,
and possess Immense strength. A herd
of these buffaloes was grazing when n

bull of the herd charged savagely upon
the tiger nnd knocked him fully twen

shook himself, bellowed, pursued his
enemy n few yards nnd then went
quietly to feeding as If vanquishing n
tiger were nn everyday occurrence.
