A Village Tale
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1916, by th® McCJtire
Newupaper Syndicate.
It was when Uncle Ebenezer David
son was postmaster at Hopevlllo that
Silas Thompson and Ben Goodheart
met at the postofflce one evening, and
as they sat around and whittled and
waited for the mall to come in Sllaa
lazily queried:
"Iiben, you've been to Cat Hill a
hundred times, I reckon, and jest how
far do you call It from Hopevtllo?"
"Jest as far as It Is," answered Eben
after thinking for about three minutes.
"And that's ten miles?"
"Who said it was?"
"1 say so. I carried ttie mall on that
road fur three long years, and I reck
on I know the distance purty well. I
asked you because some one said you
call It only nine aud a half miles."
"And that's what I'm sayin" thla
uiluit. It's nine miles and a half to an
Inch."
"Say, Eben, didn't you measure It
with a purty short tapelineT" asked
Sila:i as he whittled away.
"It's Jest nine and a half," answered
Eben lu a dogged way.
"It's exactly ten."
"Not an inch over ulue and a half!"
"Not an hub under ten mllesl"
"Sila-J, are you crazy or a born fool?'
asked Eben as Ills hair began to curL
"I ain't a big null fool to call It nine
mill a and a half to Cat Hill!" yelled
Silas lu n ply.
They Jawed about it half an hour
km^er, iiuil they parted bad friends.
In I lie course of two or three days
Kin u put up a sign rending, "Cat Hill
-Nine atiiil a Half Miles," and as soou
as f'iias heard of it he put up another
reading. "Cat Hill—Ten Miles." That
uiade iliinus worse, and a half dozen
faii.ilies wi-ie Mixed up hi the quarrel.
Almost evei v iilght in the year the two
uien met ,it the iiostotSce, and, though
iliey wouldn't notice each other, they
had their ways of hurting each other's
fee.ilia's. Silas would look around to
Ezra Killings and giggle uud chuckle
r.uil say:
•|»il ,miu hear that Cat Hill bad
moved lulu ml a half a mile, Ezra? She
used to be ten miles from Hopevllle,
but sl:e moved up to uiue and a half
lo accommodate sai tin smart folks."
Ebeu would be hurt and want to
get even, and he'd look at Jnbez White
and say;
I "Heard about (bat escaped lunatic,
Jnbez? They say he's measurln' the
road from here to Cat Hill with a tow
string and that It keeps him crazy be
cause be can't make but nine and a
half miles of It"
The two men never came to blows,
but they never met without trying to
hurt each other's feelings, if one fa
vored anything the other opposed It,
and they were contrary In politics, re
ligion and alt public Improvements.
One day Ebeu got burled In bis well
by a cave In. and though Silas helped
to dig him out the chance was one to
say:
"Mebbe this narrow escape from
death will make him turn to the truth
t in I lie future and admit it's ten miles
j to Cat Hill."
| It wasn't four weeks after that when
I Silas bad a saw log roll over him, and
as lie lay there all flattened out Eben
came up and looked on him and said:
"lie seems to be a goner, but If the
Fiord lets him live It will be that be
may take half a mile off the distance
to Cat ilIII and save his soul from per
ditlon."
I Full;* tin men t me uispmo uu^ut
wear Itself out In n year or two, bat
it iliiln't. It kept right on for twenty
Ions years and never grew cold. Eben
would have pone to Indiana to lire, but
he didn't want to leave Silas behind to
crow over him, and Silas would not
so to Syracuse to run a sawmill for
Hie same reason. At lengtb Eben lay
on his dying bed. and Just the mlnnto
the doctor told liim his case was hope
less he sat up and said:
"Then 1 want you to send for SUM
Tompkins. I've got something ! want
to say to liim before I die."
Silas didn't hang back about coming,
and after he'd arrived and said he waa
sorry Eben suid to him:
"Silas, how fur is It to Cat HU1T*
"It's Jest ten id I lee, Eben, Jest tan."
"But I'm a dyln' man."
"Yes, 1 know, but It's Jest ten miles."
"It's only nine and a hall, Silas, and
you are as big a fool as you waa twen
ty years ago!"
"Ten miles!"
"Nine and a half!"
Silas went away, aufl Eben died,
and a year later Silas was called to
go. When he realized It he said to bis
wife:
"Martha, don't let anybody bluff you
when I'm goue. It's ten miles to Cat
Hill, and you stick to it if you hare to
live on cold taters."
"I'll do It. Silas." she answered.
In a day or two he was dead and
burled, and as the usual crowd met at
j the postofflee in the evening the talk
was all about the two men and their
lifeloug dispute. Some said one was
J right, and some said the other. There
j was a stranger present and by and by
he pricked up his ears and asked:
"Was you folks talkln" about tha
distance to Cat Hill?"
"We was." says Moses Campbell, and
he goes on to explain about Eben and
Silas.
"Why. they were both blamed
idiots!" says the stranger when he had
the facts in hand. "I'm the man who
opened and surveyed that road, and
It's Jest exactly nine and three-qusr
| ters of a mile long!"
