A Young Man's Scheme By M. QUAD Copyright, 1913; by Associated Literary Tress.

"Gaul durn her picture, but 1 love her!” The young man who uttered the words was at work in the field, ami he straightened up to rest bls weary back and mutter: “And I'll make her love me before I'm through with her! She may think I don't amount to shucks, but nil 1 want is a chance to prove that I do. Durn farm work! Durn wldders! Durn love! Durn everything!" He kicked the fence to show Ids disgust and wearily resumed work. Ebenez.er Schermerhorn, hired man. was lu love with the Widow Tompkins, whose farm adjoined that of his boss on the west. Ebenezer was twentyfour years old, plain of face and ungainly of form and without a hundred dollars' worth of property. One evening as be dropped in to see the widow about borrowing some farm Implement next day he found her reading a love story. She read a few chapters to him and afterward acknowledged that she had always been romantic and that If she ever married again it would be to a hero. The farmer's hired man didn't rush right off that night and try to lie a hero, but sat down and did some thinking. Three or four days after Ebeuezer’s thinking bee a tramp came along the road and, seeing the young man hoeing corn just over the fence, halted for a word or two. Ordinarily Ebenezer would have leaped the fence and run the wayfarer half a mile, but on this occasion he Invited him over to the corn nnd sat down with him for a confidential conversation. The result of that conversation was that at 8 o’clock that evening the tramp appeared liefore the Widow Tompkins and made threats of what he would do if she didn't set out victuals, hunt up old clothes and come down with a dollar in cush. Ebenezer was not far away—just far enough to come running up and knock the tramp head over heels and rescue tlie widow. But as he started to come running he fell down and got tangled up with the bushes, and liefore he could get away the widow had broomstlcked the tramp into flight. She didn't say she was glad that the would be hero was so near at hand. What she did say was that she wasn’t afraid of any tramp walking the roads. Ebenezer's first try was a failure, but within a fortnight be was ready for another. Two or three farmhouses in the township had been robbed, and this fact became the basis for his second plan. One night at midnight he left bls bed. descended to earth by way of n window, and, armed with a club, ho became a guan! for the widow’s house. He circled around it and patrolled the garden and the orchard, and he Jolt that he would give a year of his life if a robber would appear. He would first fell him and then arouse the house, and when the widow came to know that he had been guarding her for love her heart would melt toward him.

But no robber came. Instead of that Ids footsteps awoke the widow, and, peering out, she saw some one walking about, and she got a shotgun and raised a window and blazed away. The gun was loaded with bird shot to shoot i hawks that might come swooping down ! on chickens, but in this case they anI swered Just as well for a man. Ebenezer received about twenty o* them and ran two miles to a doctor to have them picked out. He also had a va cation from work for n week under the excuse that he had sprained his back turning over in bed. Ninety-nine out of every hundred would be heroes would have given up right here, but Ebenezer was a man to hang on. It was while he was limping around on his vacation and doing a lot of standing up and wandering over the fields that he came upon the widow fishing in the river at a certain point. He did not show himself, but fifty feet from where she sat under a tree he discovered a bumblebees’ nest in the grass. It was a large and liberal nest, and it gave him a thought, 'life bees wouldn’t bother anybody so long as they were let alone, if stirred up they would look for meat. There was a haystack not far away, and Ebenezer had matches In his pocket. He retired behind the stack and collected a hatful of stones from the plowed land. These he threw one by one nt the spot where the bees Were pursuing the even tenor of their ways. The plot thickened. You can thicken a bumblebee plot In a very short time. All you’ve got to do is to tread on their coattails. When the Insects found the rocks dropping on their heads they swarmed out of the grass to look for the enemy. They should have seen the widow and descended upon her, and at her first shriek Ebenezer would come charging down with a wisp of lighted hay in either hand. But things went wrong. The bees then went for him alone They rnn him up and down the haystack; they ran him over fences and back; they ran him across lots and in circles, and when they finally left him and he fell down the widow camo forward and asked: “But why wore you such a fool?” “Because I want you to marry me!” I he groaned in reply. "And you said I you would marry n hero. I thought the i bees would attack you and I could rush I In and save you.” “Why, you great idiot! I’ve been ! ready to say yes any day for the last j three months.”
