1903. by C. B. Lewis.
When Jabez Lee had been a widower
a year and a half he straightened up in
the cornfield one day and said to hi
son Jonah, who was hoeing the next
row on bis

Jonah had been courting Widow
himself for the last three
months.
That evening Jabez Lee set out on a
courting expedition, while Jonah, who
did not dress up at all. was also absent
from the house a couple of hours and
reached home only five minutes before
father. On the next night his father
stayed home and Jonah went abroad.
It got to be a regular thing for Jabez
Lee to call on the Widow
Wednesday evening. Some one hid-
den behind the fence threw stones at
him on three or four occasions, and
once he caught sight of a man skulk
about in the darkness. All of a sud-
den one day he got an Idea. It was an
idea that made catch bis breath
and lift his right fist in the air and
shake it and mutter to
gum, but that seems to explain
it If it's so, I'll make tired clear
up to his
The idea was developed that very
evening. When changed his
clothes and took a walk the father fol-
lowed him and kept a hot trail to the
Widow The murder was
out and the mystery solved. The par-
curtains not been lowered, and
the father crept up and saw that his
rival made himself very much at home
on the very chair he himself had
pied the night before. Two hours lat-
as the son wended his way home-
ward, a rock whizzed by his ear, and a
ghostly yell from the darkness jumped
him six feet. Next day, while his
was still curling and he was trying to
connect that yell with his father's deep
bass voice, the old man suddenly turned
on him

and a sneak of a feller tried to sneak

the son.

sir; I'd lay for him and lick him till he

Father and son looked Into each
eyes for a moment, and each dis-
and tried to look Innocent.
They understood each other, however,
and both set their Jaws as they went
on with their work. That night was
Jonah's night to go courting, and be-
fore he left the house he took
that his father was missing. He real-
at once what that meant, and he
began to plan. The route to the Widow
carried him over a
panning a deep creek near her house.
There were trees near the north end,
making a deep shadow for many yards,
and Jonah felt that his father would
wait for him there and play some trick.
He therefore removed his boots when
he was yet twenty yards away and
the spot with catlike tread.
It may be stated In advance that the
father was there In the shadow. lie
had a sheet ready to wrap around him-
self and a pillow case ready to pull over
his lie was not only going to
Play but the ghost would do
some thumping before Jonah could get
away. In that same deep, dark shadow
was a second party. It was an old lame
mule which had been turned out to get
his living beside the highway, and he
bad halted at that spot that night to
ruminate and doze. lie stood within
twenty feet of the man in ambush, but
made no noise to give himself away. In
fact, he took no interest whatever In
the proceedings for a time, realizing
that he bad passed the age when he
should be mixed up in love adventures,
and it was not until his long ears de-
the approach of Jonah that his
eyes shook off sleep and he wondered
what was up. Jonah crept forward foot
by foot, and at last his presence was
also detected by the father. With soft-
of touch he got ready bis ghostly
garments and was on the point of don-
them and making a rush when
the old mule raised his head, flapped
his ears and uttered a bray. It was
bray that split the air with thunderous
sound and made things shake for rods
around. The awful and unexpected
sound stirred the and Jonah to
action at the same Instant. They went
over the railing of the bridge and Into
the waters of the creek almost
and both yelling the same yell.
Five minutes later father and son
reached the bank together and pulled
themselves out. As they stood gasping
and dripping they recognized each

There was one vulture at first seen

was full of vultures, all concentrating
