Doc hdd Mary and her ma taken into the church right away, of course, and Jeff found himself left out with the goats. The next week, while Doc was helpin' a neighbor with his threshin', Jeff saw Mary, and they fixed up a meetin' place at nights, It was in a corner of the yard, behind a bunch of lilacs and some rosebushes. Doe al- ways went to bed soon after supper, and Mary said she could slip out then, and there would not be anything to disturb their sparkin', Of course, her but it was not long before Jeff begun to notice that something was missin'. It was Doc's snorin'. - The next minute they heard his voice out in the yard on the other side of the house. "Sooie out of here!" he yelled. "How did them hogs get in here, anyhow? I reckon they've gat the front yard root- ed up and are now riddlin' the back yard." He had been snorin' loud enough to almost keep his nearest neighbor awake, two miles and more away, but he had wakened to the slightest noise of something in the yard that ought not to have been there, As Jeff learned afterward, the hogs had found a rotten rail in the fence around the apple orchard and snooted it out and crawled through the crack; and then one of them, fubbin' against o| the palin' fence betwixt the orchard ma knew about it. She and Mary and| {and the yard, had loosened a palin' at Jeff had agreed that they would walt, | the bottom, and in tryin' to squeeze patiently and see if Doc would not get over his pious tantrum. Sparkin' behind the lilacs and rose- bushes went on without a hiteh, but before long the fall come creepin' up end Mary and Jeff begun to worry, for soon it would be too chilly to sit out- doots at night. One Sunday night to- ward the last of September they were sittin' on the little hard puncheon bench behind the lilacs, their hands clasped, and their thoughts pestered by the prospects, for they did not know what they would do when the weather turned cold, when Mary said: "Listen! That sounds like something in the yard." Jeff listened, but all he could hear was Doc snorin'. Doc was an awful gnorer. Sometimes when Jeff was late goin' to meet Mary behind the lilacs #nd roses he could hear Doc snorin' when he was a mile from the house. Leavin' the barkin' out, Jeff said, it gounded like three or four Newfound- land dogs havin' a fight. They went on with their sparkin', Cleanses mouth and teeth and aids digestion.

Now, everybody who knows any- thing about hogs knows that they never can find the hole where they come into the place where they are not to come, especially when you are after them tryin' to get them out; so round the yard the hogs come, woof-woofin', with Doc after them. Two of them run right in front of Jeff and Mary where they were sittin', almost holding their breath, for fear they would be diskivered; and when Mary jumped, the shotes let out a squeal like they was bein' butchered. Doc was in his nightshirt, Jeff saw as he folloped by, and it did not come more alfway to his knees. Of course, Dic did not know anybody was in his yard, or he would not have come out so scantily clothed. Lucky for him, and for Jeff and Mary too, there was no moonlight, it bein' in the dark of the moon, and it was right dark in the yard. "Oh, Pap!" Mary started to holler, but clapped her hand over her mouth just in time to smother the words. They was afraid to move, lest they be seen, for they knew that Doc's wrath at findin' them there would have been like fire and brimstone, without bein' aggravated at findin' the hogs in the yard too. Around the house and back again went Doc and the hogs, the hogs woof- woofin' and Doc hollerin', "Soole out of here!" Jeff could tell that he was getting madder and madder every minute. Just as Doc and the hogs went tearin' by Jeff and Mary on the ut ond trip around, Doc lets out a yell and for the next few minutes Jeff sald he never before then and never after then listened to such a pile of plain and fancy cussin'. From the way he was damnin' first a bush and then the hogs, and then the bush again, Jeff opined he had run astraddle of a roge- bush, one with thorns on it. "Oh, pore Pap," Mary groaned, and hid her face.in her arms. The cussiy' got Jeff a little light headed at first, he sald, it was such a surprise, and it was more than a min- ute before he diskivered that there was a nudgin' sensation at the back of his mind, tellin' him that there was| 43.2 g he ought to do. And then Jeff come to. "Here's our chance, Mary," he whis- pered to her. "You run up the front porch steps into the house while he's goin' round with the hogs, and he won't know you've been here." "But what are you goin' to do, Jeff?" Mary asked, sort of holdin hack. MAIN DISH CHANGES.

For those who dislike salmon in the usual form, try combining it with mashed potato and a beaten egg. Then | shape into cakes, dip in cracker crumbs and fry. Served with a few strips of bacon, they are even better than the common codfish cake. Ham and Rice Croquettes are made much the same way, except that cold boiled rice is used in place of potato and cold ham is minced fine to mix with it. Roll these in egg and then flour and fry in deep fat. Lamb en Casserole is always good.

You ain't back-slid, have you, Doe?" "Get away from here, you messen- ger of Satan," Doc hollered, "and don't try to buffet me! Any angel would likely have cussed if he'd run straddle of that rosebush, with no clothes on his middles." "Sinful habits will return," Jeff con- soled him. "And you must recollect! Doc, that you ain't been leadin' a sanctified life. long enough for it to good and settled in you. You ain' it! had time to get the habit. Still, I guess the meetin'-house brothers and sisters would be mighty surprised and grieved to hear about this. I hope no tattle- tale tells them. Can I help you any, Doc?" Doc was as still as a tombstone for about a minute. Then he chuckled. Doc did have a sense of humor. "You got me, you young devil," he said to Jeff, with his old-time, gaod- natured roughness. "You got me. Yes, you can help me; you can help me, drive them gosh-durned hogs out of the yard."
