for Lem was by all odds the homeliest

Lem quite well, and when I asked my
question he blushed and grinned.
"She was tuck by my good looks,” he
laughed.
"Didn’t you court her pretty hard?”
"Did I?” and he drew a long breath
as of relief at the thought of its being
over. “Well, I should say I did. Why,
I come mighty nigh mortgigin’ the

to want when I give ’em to her.”
"What did you give her?”
“Everything. Colonel. It got so bad

"But you kept at it?”
“I reckon not,” he laughed. “All uv
a sudden I sot in fer Mary Finnel, and
give the store folks a rest on buyin’.”
“Then what happened?” I inquired,
with a hope that I would now get some
information.
He laughed a low, gurgling laugh,
such as a boy would give vent to when
caught in some of his natural depreda-
tions.
“Well,” he said, “she kinder swapped

Driven Away by a (ihost.
The town of Shearer, Mich., which
only a few years ago was a promising
and prosperous burg with sawmills, salt
blocks, etc., is now being abandoned.
The removal of the sawmills and other
plants has caused the exodus, but there j
is said to be still another reason. A
short time ago, Hugh McKinnon, a her-
mit, was found dead with bullet holes
in his body. Ever since the village, it
is said, has been haunted by his ghost.
So great has been the agitation among
the superstitious that many left town
even before the m‛ls shut down.
