His Rabbit Soul Privet' Out by that of a Itehl and Reckless Kim; of the Forest. r. Bradsley was editor and pro- prietor of a small country newspaper published in the hilly distriet of southern Kentueky, writes Opie P. Head. Ile \vas a meek little man with large ears and large that 1?espoke the patience of a cow. In the com- munity of Gray's Point he was a sort of father confessor, in that to him were brought all sorts of complaints and schemes of revenge. Honest, people who at least once a week made public profession of love for their fellow men would steal up the rickety stairway leading to Bradsley's office and whisper against a neighbor the insinuating words of scandal. Brads- ley's weakness was his desire to please everybody; not at once, for he knew that to be impossible, but to give each one his turn.
