Still, while he wanted Joe to reoosnio hi- bn-ad liberality, he owed it to himself not to be loo-e in his eipre.-.-iori of pinion.

It's like, a woman in that! It begins; with the same letter too, and that'.- another likenes'" (ieors made no answer to this joke, over which Jh chu. kled enotish f.r both, and then returned to the charse: "I've seen aHl ib-al of life, one w;iy and another," Jie said, 44 but I don't know much of parsons. Somehow they haven't been in my line; but if I had to ch'Mse between beifis a parson or a doctor, I'd take the doctor by loiodds. Vou -ee the world's pretty inurh of a hospital as far as he's concerned, and when he can't tinker a man up, he lets him slide off and nobody minds; but the parson dim-rent. When a man takes sic k he looks kind of friendly on the doctor, because, you see, he expects him to cure him; but when the parson comes, he tells him what a miserable sinner he is and w hat he' coming to at last. Now it ain't in nature to like that, and I don't blame the fellows who say they can stand a par-on when they are well, but that he's worse than a bn-ak-lione fever and no water handy when they're sick. And I shouldn't think any man would like to S' ahout makins himself unpleasant to others! Ix?astways I wouldn't. Kickins Kirhy used to say that he'd rather be a woman than a parson, and the force of IansnS' couldn't So further thar that! He knew w hat lie w a- tall ins ahout, f'T some of his folks were preachers; and there was so-h! in Kilhv, too!

men ilo curious things sometime-, and Kirhy, I s''S W:,H few folks would have expected very much of. There w as hard thinss said of him, ' it he could allers strike a blow for a friend, or hold his own with the iievt man, h-t him be who he misht. Vou see there were a sd many of us in camp, ai.duc had fiir cnoush hick;

! for the i icu o, r ;.t Pisser's Kun had -tru-'k a so.l in. -o money was plenty and changed hand- fa-t irnuish. ; W e'd all linn s t"sc! her in our camp tin1 til Clint liowirs out into trouble. None joftherc-t of u- wanted to s t mixed no in the fu--, but somehow w' did, i and t he ot her camp fought shv of us olid pi.i ed most 1 y anions thciu-el cs ; and i'te allers henl that it is poor fun to take out of one pocket j to put into tin other. Our boys j had d ib n ut opinions about it, and some of them held that it wasn't Clint's awkward w oik that they'd s"t mad at, but that they meant to shut down on Kirby. Vou see Kirhy was a very lucky player, and although pretty " roush thins were said about it, nobody ever Sot a clear handle asain-t him, and he wasn't the kind of a fellow that was pleasant to affront. Kirby used to sav it was nil alons of Clint; that he o us lit to have been kept from the cards, or sent down the river; that vw'dhave hail a sod run of luck all vvinur if it hadn't been for him. I don't krow the lishts properly, but I allers thought ii was about six of one and a half-doze ti of the other. Anyhow there was bad blood ali. ut it, and th if d -n't run up hill, you know, and so there was trouble soon cr.oi.;rh. The bos "ot into words one nisht, and Kirby threw a mas at Clint, who out with Lis knilean 1 w.i- at Kirbv like a t!.t-h. l.u. ky f.-r him Clint's eye- weren't in s-'od seeins order, and tin- I i. ;u r h iiln't i.iade hi.- an.l any the more steady, o Kirby only sot ascratih on hi- arm. It showed what Clint Would like to do, though, and some of the boy s made pretty heavy 1 et- on the cud ot it. 1 -tuck up f-r Kirby, for mi I kr.ew him pretty well, and th' re was true snt m him;" and th -n, t-o, he was i.;n'.!:i!iiuii pit i-a-.t a'."Ut It, and even ,-toppid savins much about CiinCs blocKins up our ;uck over at tlie Ku:i. 44 Well, jr.-: about then Jack White cam. over from Cambria and told Clint that l e'il heard that hi- uncle w a- a-k-ius around w here he vv.i-. Vou see Cimt's um le had a st"ie down there. and had made a tidy pile f money, an I as he hadn't any chil.hcii, he -aid he w.m'dn't min i h av ins it to him if he wa- livins rc-pcctable. Clint h.cl lived with him vv In u he was a boy, but thev hadn't sot alot.s Vi ry wa II, -o Clint rail ti'. 'I he old man didn't mind thi-, thoush, and U'-w he wanted to tind him. Jack -aid he was -uro that if Ciint wato so oer and play his card- I iirht i..-"d S t the money. Vou may be -nre thiwas a stroke of In. k f.-r Clint j-i-t then, and he didn't like to lo-e it; but vou see he didn't look very S' o'eel, ar.. he ku-w l.i- urn le was -harp en ul:!i to tind it out. He wa- fat cnoush, for whisky never made a livins sk h-tou of him. but it was plain that it wasn't Srd health that had made hi- r.os,. so red, i:.-r fine maniitr- that hn-l siven him the cut a. T"s. hi-chf k and bruied up hieye. 'J'he boys all allowed l?.at he was the harde-t-lookins chip in the earip, and if his uncle hft him his money, it wouldn't be on the strensth of his siwd countenance! liut you know lie had to do somi thins risht ofl, and so he wrote as pretty a letter to the !d tlian as ever I VTaTlt to see; but when the an-wer came it -aid his t;:ie!e was very si' k, and a- ho had inethins particular to s iy to him, wouldn't Clint come OTt-r at once, and iiivloscd he'd find the money for his fare. I toll yu this -tumped Clit-.t, for he'd had another lisht and w as a picture to behold. 44 1!ut here's where the surpri-e to us all came in. Clint was pretty well puzzle! what to do, and while all the boys were advi-ins him, Kirby -poke up. I'd noth i d he was pretty piief, but nobody could have S'"",,i,',l what lie was thinkins about. He looked some like Clint, and once had l-en pitched into by a in-w lis'r Hun hoy, for Clint. 'I he fcllovv never made the second mistake about t B-m. It wasn't as thoush they were twins, but they both had brown hair and hms heard-, blue eyes, and were about the -ame build, so you couldn't have made a descriptive li-"t of the one that wouldn't have done for the other. What Kirby said was that Clint's uncle hadn't seen him since ho was a Iniy, and he'd expect to find him chansed: and althoush he that's Kirby, you know had h id hard feelin's to Clint, he wasn't a man to hold asrmls''" and he'd let hy-sor.es be hy-sones. So if Clint thousht we',1 of it, he'd S' over to Cambria, and if he found the hind lay risht he'd pas ofl for him and make thins4 J-ure. Thi- struck us all of a heap, for we knew Kirby could do it if he chose and if nobody interfered with hint, and that he really could cajole the, old man better than Clint could; for when that fellow s t wound up t- talk he was alU th Fnnz you tiv U tter. Some of the I toys thousht it ri-kv, and they wanti d Cunt to write and -ay ho had the typhoid fever, and - stave it off until he looked fit tso; but he knew that if he crossed his un le now he'd likely cnoush Ioe every thins. - he thUht it best to make -;;ro and let Kirby S' and see, any how. One thins that hf-lpd alons wns that his firt wife had come from Cambria, and he'd heard her talk so much about the penph that he knew nearly as iiiu h of them a Clint did To make the matter sure, Clint stuffed him with all he remembered, and one nisht wo sot up :i pra' tii-ins. nr.d we made out th at we were the folk-, and Kirby pow. wowed

to the minister, and old Mi- Cranbv - that was me!- ami the doctor, until he j knew his lesson and we'd nearly split I our sides laushins"Of course, seeins the interest we all took in it, we weren't soin to do the i thins half, so w e clubbed tosctlu-r and ; pot Kirbv a suit of store clothes nnd a ! shiny vali-e, and he went oil as proper 1 as a parson- bessins J"iir p inion! j and we settled down asain. Ho wrote pretty prompt, and said every thins Was soins on as smooth as oil. 'I he i old man had called out that it was Clint j a- soon as he saw him, before he'd said a word, and Kirby wrote it would have , been kind of cruel to have told liiui better. So he didn't. He Wlote several ! more letter-, and once Jack While h id a b-ttcr from hi-itcr s.iyins that Clint i low cr- had coine home, audit was -aid

that tlie old man was tickled to death with his manners and meant to leave him all he had. This clinched it sure cnoush, arid Clint became tip-top anions the boys, and his credit was Soil for all the drinks he chose to order, and I must say he was liberal cnoush, and nobody contradicted him. He wrote to Kirby he was all tin" time writinsto him but this time u told how handsome he thousht it w as in him to d all thi-, eon-ideiins every thins. When the :m-wcr came Kirby said he didn't profess much relish'n, and he thousht that Seiierally speakin' heapins coals of lire on anv one's head was asaiu-t the srain, but ("lint was more than welcome to his sef ices." 4 He ! a s,M,d fellow," exclaimed d'or.'o. I don't wonder vi il,t'd him!" "h , allers stood up for Kirby w hen th" boys were h ird. -t on him. Hut to tlni-!i u;, for I'm tdlins an oncomnion Ions y am, at la-t a httercanie say ins 'hat the old nan wa- dea l and tin' money fixed. ILw much it was Kilby coll!. I n't s.iy Vet, but h- ni'-ant to hurry matter- up, ho said. Of coiir-e he did n't put all l e i..e ant into j lcn w. rds, for it would n't do to tru-t it, and he w as all. r limre careful than It lint, w!.o ii. vcr knew w Ion to bu-h. Hut now Kirby sail he'd hive every thins -traisht inid.' f two week-, and we were n't to look for another letter from him. 44 Well, it ira -urpri-in' how many birds Ciint broiled for Kirby tho m t few weeks! Vou see Kirby allers vv.is a S' ldlciuaii in his t.t-te-, and bad a pit ticular hkins f"i" birds on toa-t, and f course Clint wanted to s'' l ini a proper Welcome l.otui'. We klieW ju-t w hen the boat- vv ere likely t i colli", and Clint was allers n-ady for : -urpi i-e." " And he came ju-t W hen 1 e W a- h-a-t CXpei ted," -aid (ieoISe, with a brisht sintle; "that is the way thins- always happen in this world. 1 am sure of that"' "Why, no. '.!--y our heart.
