Frst thens u spark, then a tny flae, then a snappng, then u blazng tre, then u roarng conflagraton. And the wors knd of quarrels are those between frends. Two poneers, Danel Spson a' Uenry Underwood, egrated wth ther fales to the fur west and en tered land owned by the governent They had been schoolates and owntv fars sde by sde. There was no occason for a dspute to arse between the so long as they reaned n the east, for ther boundares had been surveyed and Axed generatons ago, and, beng well fenced, the stock of nether could trespass upon the other's preses. Therefore ther affecton for each other grew stronger, and the fales were further bound together by an engageent between Elza Spson and.''rank Underwood, the oldest daughter of the one and oldest son of the other. The two frends each entered a quarter secton of land, the two far* beng sde by sde. Spson's land was ore largely covered wth t ber than Underwood's, and ths fact. becae a wedge between the. A ralroad soon after ther settleent 01. the land was projected to run alongsde ther property, and t becae ar once apparent that the tber would be valuable for tes. As soon as ths was learned Underwood becae nterested n hs boundary lne cover! u._ as uch of a wood as t could be stretched to cover. lvng on the lne between the two propertes. One ornng Spson went out toward hs frend's property and found Underwood drvng stakes on what he consdered to be hs own land. He protested, and Underwood declared that that was the dvdng lne and he was ntendng to begn the next ornng to fell trees n order to be ready to supply the ralroad wth tes as soon as there was need. Spson declared that every tree le cut beyond a certan pont would be robbery. Then Underwood called Spson a pg and the tght was on. The next ornng the ex-frends et on the ln»' of dfj.re. each havng an ax wth whch to tell lber, and before the dar wa< over lnste-'d of fell rarng trees they l»-d each other T.\s ther conl'!; h:>nc to supper, ther re spectve fa.'les vent out to look f<>> the and found ther dead bodes, (h skulls of both beh g cloven. The trouble threw 21 gloo over tntlfales, h was esnnhlly deplonblon account of the 1111 gerneut of tntwo young f**ople. 'rnuk Underwool u order that there ght he no norr trouble, sent to the county seat for a surveyor, who Used the boundary- t turned out that nether hs father nor hs futher's frend was rght, the true bouudry beng a dagonal lne wth tnone ubout whrl] they contended. Nor was ths all that was stake:) n the atter. The dsputauts hud not long been bured when the ralroad to whose contractors they had expected to sell so any tes was dscovered to be runnng the lne several les away fro the property of ether and through ts own tuberland. One nght when Elza Spson was sleepng at hoe she was awakened by the sound of axes beng drven luto the trunks of trees. The sound seeed to her to coe fro the drecton of the l>oundary lne. She snt up n bed and lstened. The ax en were apparently vyng wth each other, each strvng to strke ore rapdly. Elza got up and went nto her oth er's roo to awaken her. but by the te she had succeeded n dong so the sound had ceased. The next ornng when she had told of what she had heard all consdered that she had been dreang. Nevertheless she declared that she had heard the axes dstnctly, the sounds cornng fro a pont between the Spsons' and the Underwoods' dwellngs. When she told her lover about t he declared that f any such sounds led exsted le would have heard the ore readly than hs fancee. snce the Underwood house was nearer the lne on whch the tber bordered rl: the Spsons'. Elza, who was postve as to what she had heard. gave h a sharp reply, and he left her n anger. Elza Spson heawt agan the sounds of axes on the, boundary lne. Snce the double urder of the heads of fh». two fales the condtons had been ebarrassng, nnd the day after Elza's havng heard tbe ysterous ax en agan Mrs. Spson went to Mrs. Underwood and told of the oc eurronce. Mrs. Underwood had been under a stran ever snce the catastrophe and upon Mrs. Spson's vst lost her self control copletely, declarng that she beleved Spson had urdered her husband, who acted sply n self defense.

Twelve and Under 15c holly she had been toyng wth, and farly flew to the telephone. n answer to her patent suons, she was quckly connected wth Brown & Co.'s book store. "Have you sent out those books that were ordered for Mr. Wlla Dunnng?" she asked anxously. The answer evdently pleased her, for she breathed a sgh of relef. "That's all rght; ' glad you haven't, for have changed y nd about the. Please cancel the order." Marjore hung up the recever wth an ar of truph. "There, ' glad thought of that! Blly would have construed a Chrstas present nto an abject apology," she sad, her ndgnaton rsng at the very thought of such a thng. But when she went back to her parcels and pcked up the lttle twg of holly she had ntended tuckng away nto one of the, her face softened. " know that sn't the rght knd of a Chrstas sprt to have, but cant have Blly thnkng that a adttng was wrong, when know wasn't," she argued wth herself.

"O, Blly, a so glad you cae." Blly took soe lttle te to ephasze hs apprecaton of her welcoe, then "Glad cae? Why wouldn't coe, dear?" he asked.
