In boyhood or your earliest youth.

From perfect fttith— that is not It;

You ever loved a little bit!”

Of gentle May and saucy Nan,

And proved himself a truthful man.

TIMMS’S STRATEGY,
Mapes was chivalrous by nature; he be
lieved in “seeking the bubble reputation
even at the cannon’s mouth." His enthu
siasm was aroused by the recital of stories
of deeds of desperate daring, while he
had nothing but contempt for even suc
cess won by crooked and indirect means.
Timms, on the contrary, believed there
was policy in war, and that the end justi
fied the means, particularly if the end was
attained. Companions from infancy, their
lives had been spent in competition for
scholastic and such other honors as the lo
cality afforded, without even a momentary
break In their friendship. But now in
early manhood, they strugpled for a prize
of incalculable value, with an ardor that
threatened a complete rupture of friendly
relations. The heart and hand of Eliza
Beid, the neighborhood belle were to be
won, and to these none others might as
pire in the face of such formidable compe
tition as that of Mapes and Timms. They
loane—each by virtue of his own person
ality and position—had a right to lay seige
to the heart of that variable, irritable, im
perious beauty, and for months the strife
between them had gone on. Each one
had called into play all his personal and
.social resources; for the local society had
taken such an interest that it was divided
into factions known as the Mapesites and
Timsites. And yet Miss Eliza could not be
brought to express a preference; if she
rode with one to-day, she was careful to
walk abroad with the rival to-morrow.
Coquetry is delicious to a woman, and
Eliza would not have been feminine had
she been in haste to have made an elec
tion. Nevertheless, she did not intend to
miss her opportunity. She knew well that
the war could not always last, and feared
that when one of the aspirants for her fa
vor withdrew from the contest, the love
of the other, wanting the stimulous of
competition, would grow gold; hence she
had made up her mind that, upon the most
favorable opportunity she would signify to
Mapes that his suit, so often pressed, was
at last accepted. The opportunity, it
seemed, was not to be long wanting, for
invitations were Igiven out for an apple-
bee in the neighborhood, and Eliza found
means to convey an intimation to Mapes
that she expected to meet him there, and
counted on his escort home at the conclu
sion of the frolic.
The appointed evening, looked for with
such nervous anticipation by Mapes, came
at length. He felt that it was the impor
tant event of his life, and arrayed himself
as only a rustic dandy can. His way lay
across a meadow, through which ran—or
rather loitered—a deep but narrow stream,
spanned by a single log. It was so dark
when he reached this primitive bridge
that he was compelled to feel his way
slowly across. As he progressed it began
to swing lightly—something very unusual
—until no reached the centre, when, to bis
utter confusion, it gave way, and he was
launched into the water. He scrambled
out, then suddenly the night became lum
inous with the lurid light to which people
refer when they sav, in speaking of some
profane wretch, “Fie swore until all was
blue.” Whatever illuminating qualities
this lurid light possessed, it had no drying
ones, and Mapes was forced to bid adieu
for the night to all hopes of plighting his
troth to the loved Eliza.
In the rural districts down east in early
times the good people had such habits of I
industry and rigid economy that they sel
dom gave or attended parties, unless such
as were cloaked under the names of rais- i
mgs, quiltings, huskings or apple bees, i
thus the apple-bee fraught with moment
ous consequences to Mapes and Timms was
but a social party in disguise—a few apples
being pared, quartered, cored and strung
in kthe early evening for appearances’ I
sake. i
As usual, Eliza Heed was the belle of the j
occasion. Good looks, entire self-posses- !
sion, and a keen, satirical wit always as
sured her that position; and this night she
shone with unusual brilliancy, until, as
t lie hours wore away and Mapes came not
she began to lose herself in pondering
why, and at length she asked Timms:
“Is your friend Mapes ailing?”
“I guess not,” replied Timms. “I saw
him to-day. He wasn’t com plaining.”
“He denies himself much pleasure,”
said Eliza, “in not coming here to-night,
for this is the place where we always nave
a good time. Aunt Judy knows now to
give an apple bee.”
“You let Mapes alone,” answered Timms
—“He knows what he’s about.”
“What do you mean,” asked Eliza.
“Ob, i mean,” replied Timms, “that
Mapes is the prince of good fellows and
guts invitations where the rest of us j
don’t.”
“Where is Mapes to-night?” asked Eliza,
now fully aroused.
“I don’t know for sure,” answered
Timms. “He told me to-duv there were
-p'-cial reasons for bis coming here, but
that he had uii invitation to the rich and
aristocratic Squire llutoon’s who is celc- .
brating his daughter’s birthday, and that
be didn’t know which way lie would go.”
And Timms turned away to talk to the
next prettiest girl in the room.
I’etted young women arc seldom logical
patient. When tin- party broke up
Eliza accepted Timm’s escort to her home,
and before they arrived there she had con
sented to become, with tlie least possible
delay, Mrs. Timms. The next morning
tlic engagement was announced, and prep
arations commenced. Timms was exult
ant—happy Timms?
For a few days Timms was not much
seen in public—perhaps for want of cour
age to wear his blushing honors openly;
perhaps for want of courage to meet other
contingencies—who knows? But a man
cannot make arrangements for his own
wedding from a fixed standpoint, and he
Was compelled to venture out. In a quiet
and secluded by-way he met Mapes. The
meeting to him was a surprise; lie smiled i
feebly and extended his hand. But Mapes,
rnteut on business, strode squarely up to
Timms, and planted a vigorous blow on
one of his eyes, which caused that gentle
man to measure his length in the dust.
Timms sprang to his feet and showed |
nght, but another blow on the other eye
can’t help your saying so,” answered
Timms.
“You sawed the log,” said Mapes.
“What log?" asked Timms.
“You sawed the log,” repeated Mapes,
advancing a step.
“Yes—stop,” said Timms; “I sawed the
log.”
“Well, you needn’t think,” said Mapes,
"that after your marriage you're going 10
tell that story and make me a laughing
stock."
“I’ll never speak of it,” whined Timms.
“Perhaps you won’t,” said Mapes; “but
I’m going to swear you before I got
through. There’s another thing; you won
the woman by your trickery, and i
know it’s in you to abuse her, so I'm going
to swear you to treat her kindly.”
"I'll swear,” said Timms.
“Hold up vour hand,” said Mapes.
Timms held up liis hand.
“Now, repeat after me: ‘I, Silas Timms,
solemnly swear that I will never bring to
the knowledge of any human being that I
sawed the log whereby Daniel Mapes fell
into the creek and lost a wife; and further
that I will, she consenting, marry Eliza
Reed, and always treat her well, so help
nn God."
Timms repeated the oath verbatim.
“Now get up and go home,” said Mapes.
“I don’t think you’ll be married till your
eyes get out of mourning, and by that
time 111 be far enough away. But don’t
think I'll lose sight of you, and if you dont
keep your oath you’ll see me.”
Timms arose from the ground, shook off
the dust and walked away; but when he
had secured ^a i safe distance he shouted
back exultingly:
“Mapes, she’s an angel.”
In twentylyears Daniel Mapes had learn
ed many .things, and among them this:
Life is very much as we make it. In other
words, the world is like a mirror and looks
nt us with the face we represent. It re
turns scowl tor scowl and smile for smile.
It echoes our sobs and our laughter. To
the cold it as ;icy as the northern seas; to
the loving, it is as balmy as the Isles of
the tropics. He had learned a still harder
lesson; which was to forget the griefs, the
sorrows, the slights, the wrongs, and the
hates of the past. The effect of tne lesson
was to make it appear that the lines, to
him had fallen in pleasant places. His
rotund form and firm muscle bespoke a
good digestion, while a cheerful counten-
tenance told ol mental peace. A fair wo
man named him husband and children
called him father.; ;A beautiful home in
Santa Clara Valley was theirs: besides
which Mapes had many broad acres of I
land, as well as many head of stock run- ;
ning nearly wild in the counties of Monte- !
rey, and Luis Obispo.
Once in each year the cattle that graze
on California’s thousand hills are gathered
in bands at convenient places, to be claim
ed and branded bv the owners—such as
semblages being called rodeos. Mapes bad
been down across the Salinas Plains, in
attendance upon a rodeo; and being on his
return, jogging along on his mustang, he
saw far in the distance, but nearing him,
an equally lone traveler. Slowly the dis
tance between them decreased: and as they
approached, Mapes—with California pru
dence-slipping his revolver upon the Delt
which sustained it from his back round to
his left side, bringing the hilt under the
shadow of his bridle arm, and within
easy reach of his right hand. A near look
assured Mapes that he had no occasion for
weapons: the coming man was of middle
age, but his look was worn, weary, deject
ed and hopeless—in local phrase, his man
ner was that of a person who “has lost his
grip;” and those who have met that terri
ble misfortune are never highway robbers,
e being the very quality wanted in that
irdous pursuit.
The travelers met with a long, inquiring
f aze, when from their lips simultaneously
urst the words “Mapes’’—"Timms.” Af
ter a moment of mute surprise Mapes,
spurring his mustang, drew nearer Timms.
“So we meet at last. I have been want
ing to see you for many a year.”
The movement seemed ominous to
Timms, and he cried out, “Don't—don’t
shoot! I have no weapons! Besides, I have
kept my oath—at least as ;well as I could.
I never told the reason why you didn't at
tend the apple-bee, nor ever breathed a 1
syllable about the sawed log—upon my
solemn oath!”
“I wasn’t thinking of the ducking,” said ;
Mapes. i
“Don’t come any nearer,” returned
Timms. “I have always tried to use that
woman well; but she wouldn’t be used ,
well. I have done my best to treat her
kindly, but she wouldn’t be treated kind
ly.”
“It is no use to go over the grounds to
me,Timms.”
“But,” replied Timms, “you have no
idea what that woman is; you would not
blame me if you only knew. She has
browbeat me till I ain’t half a man.”
“So I see,” said Mapes.
“No, you don’t see,” replied Timms. |
“You don’t see half. “Look at this scar” .
—taking off his hat and showing a long
seam on his scalp—“that was done with a
skillet.”
“You have suffered,” snid Mapes.
“Suffered!” returned Timms. You ought
to have sworn her, too. If you only knew
how 1 have thought of you, and of my
oath to you; and how I have borne blows
and been quiet—how I have been called a
brute and a fool and kept silent—how I
endured taunts and sneers, hunger and dis
comforts, without a word of reproach—you
would forgive me; you wouldn’t harbor
thoughts of revenge.”
“Thoughts of revenge!” said Mapes.
“Let us dismount and have a settlement,
for I see my chance has come at last!”
“Mapes would you take the life of au |
unarmed man?”
“Timms, you’re crazy. Let me explain.
1 have no wrongs to avenge. It isn’t for
vengeance that I have wished to see you.
I have heard about you often—know all
your life and experiences; and i have only
wanted to meet you, to offer you a home
and friendship, employment and opportu
nities for prosperity here in California. I
owe you a debt but one of gratitude, for
the inestimable service you did me by that
little job of carpenter work, and that I
mean to pay. Come with me.”
Ho took Timms’ horse by the bridle,
turned him about without remonstrances,
and they traveled on in silence.
After awhile Timms raised liis eyes tim
idly from the ground and said:
“Mapes, she's the devil.”

BUT THE HEART THROBS OF
TRUE MANHOOD.
Si’arta, Ga., Sept. 22, 1885.—To the Constitu
tion, Atlanta- Were I to practice deception in a
case like this, I would think that my heart had
becomee seared beyond recognition.
To he guilty of bearing false testimony, thereby
imperiling the lives of my fellow-men, would
place me beneath the dignity of n gentleman.
The facts which I disclose are endorsed and
vouched for by the community in which I live,
and I trust they may exert the influence in
tended.
For twenty long years I have suffered untold
tortures from a terrible pain and weakness in t lie
small of my back, which resisted all movies ami
manner of treatment.
For a long time the horrifying pangs of an eat
ing cancer of my lower lip has added to my mis
ery and suffering. This encroaching, burning
and painflil sore on my lip was pronounced Epi
thelial Cancer by the prominent physicians In
his section, which stubbornly resisted the best
medical talent. About eighteen months ago a
cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which
could not be allayed by the ordinary modes of
treatment.
These sufferings of mis* ry and prostration be
came so great that, on the 18th of laRt July, a
leading physician said that I could not live long
er than four days, and I had about given up in
despair. The burning and excruciating ravages
of the cancer, the painful condition of my back
ami breast, and the rapid prostration of my
whole system combined to make me a mere
wreck of former manhood
While thus seemingly suspended on a thread !
between life and death, I commenced the use of j
B. B. B., the grandest blood medicine to me and
my household, ever used.
The effect was wonderful—it was magical. The
excruciating pains which had tormented me by
day and by night for twenty yearR were soon
held in abeyance, and peace and comfort were
restored to a suffering man, the cancer com
menced healing, strength was imparted to my
feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been
used I was one of the happiest of men, and felt
about as well as I ever did.
All pain had vanished, the cancer on ray lip
healed, and I was pronounced cured. To those
who are afflicted, and need a blood remedy, I
urge the use of It. B, It. as a wonderfully effective,
speedy and cheap blood purifier.
An. i
Sparta. Ga., September 22, 1885.—I saw Mr.
. Allen Grant, when he was suffering with epithe
lial cancer ol the under lip, and after using the
it. B. It. medicine, as stated above, I liud him
now almost if not perfectly cured.
