Suraotous Department. THE BEST HE COULD DO. It was a Michigan man riding i through West Virginia on horseback, and one afternoon as he came along to a settler's cabin on the mountain road, he asked a man leaning over the gate: "Can you tell me how far it is to , the town ahead ?" "I reckon I kin, stranger. You'll j have to peg along for about nine miles . yet." "But it is nearly dark. Is there no tavern on the road ?" "Never beard of any, and I've backed my corn meal over this road risin' 20 years." 1 "But perhaps I could put up some- [ where ?" ' "Perhaps ye could. There's Steve Tavlor's down about four miles, but i he'd beat ye blind on old sledge. There's Mose Smith, a mile nigber, but Mose would feel offended if ye didn't trade him that hoss for a stubtailed mule. Might put up at Green's, but there's lots of rattlesnakes around his place. Kurnel Johnson is down about six miles, but the kurnel would turn ye out of doors at midnight if he found that ye didn't vote his way." "But what am I to do?" "Waal, I'm a squar' man, stranger, and the best I kin do is to ax ye to stop here with me, an' to tell ye beforehand that if ye ar' awakened in the night by shingles being ripped off and logs pulled down it won't be an avalanche or cyclone, but only me an' the old woman a-trying for the hundredth time since the war to see who handles the money when I sell two coon skins for a dollar 1" "I?I guess I'll go on," faltered the rider. "Ke-rect, stranger! The last man who stopped here said he wished he'd have run the chances with the Green's, an' I gin him my hand when he rode off. I'm squar' up and down, as I told ye, and Green's is .the third cabin on this side arter ye cross the creek." Smoother Traveling.?Some of the railways down this way are still a little shaky. The old Jerkwater line is especially a little loose in the joints. A commercial traveler, who came in yesterday, relates a little experience while bounding over the road: "We were hooping along," he said, "at the rate of seven miles an hour, and the old train was weaving terri bly. Passengers were rolling from one end of the car to the other. I held on like grim death to the arms of my seat. Presently we settled down to the quiet running?at least, I could keep my hat on and my teeth didn't chatter! The conductor was in hailing distance. I looked up with a ghastly smile, wishing to look cheerful and said : " 'We are going a little smoother, I opp ' . Ovvi " 'Yes,' said the conductor, 'we are off the track now.' " The King Headed the List.? The king of Persia once ordered his vizier to make out a list of all the fools in his dominions. He did so and put his majesty's name at the head of them. The king asked him why, and he immediately answered: "Because you entrusted a lac of rupees to men you don't know to buy horses for you a thousand miles off, and who'll never come back." "Ay, but suppose they do come back ?" "Then I shall erase your name and put theirs." i I6T "Fred," said Mrs. Rambo, "have you time to take a carpet out and?" "Don't ask me to do anything to that carpet, Nancy," responded Mr. Rambo. "I want rest." "I think you're always wanting rest when I want you to do a little job around the house," wratbfully rejoined Nancy. "You'd be worth a good deal to a bicycle maker !" "Why, my dear?" "Because you've got an everlasting tire on you." Whereat Mr. Rambo exploded in a loud guffaw. W&T "My friend," said the philanthropist, "you ought to change your methods. Do you expect to put in your life stopping people and asking them for money ?" "Dere it is again," replied Meandering Mike, in an aggrieved tone. "Dere ain't no use er tryin' to satisfy everybody. If I stops people an' asks 'em fur money, you say I orter be ashamed ; an' ef I stops 'em an' takes deir money widout askin', de p'lice runs me in." DST "What kind of man is he? Good, bad, or indifferent?" "Well that depends a good deal on who teeters on the other end of the plank with him." "How so, sir?" "Well, if you size him up along-side of Judas Iscariot, he looms up middlin' fair; but when you set him down between such fellers as you and me, judge, he does dwindle terribly surprisin'?he does, for a fact." They All Answered Alike.?A Texas man made a bet that he could invent a question to which 50 people would all give the same answer. Me won the bet. The question was: "Have you heard that Smith has 1 committed suicide?" ( The answer in each case was: "What Smith ?" . ? . ( tST Big sister (shouting to Bobby): J "Bahbee !

Bobby 1 (hastily): "All right; tell him I'll be 1 there in a minute. 1 i fOr" Jim,"said an honest coal dealer I to one of his drivers, "Jim make that i ton of coal 200 pounds short.

KING8LEY TARPEY. g The little village of Daignton lies inland from the coast about two miles, d and the high grouad that runs westward by the sea is a favorite walk in 0 summertime for the villagers. It was ? late autumn and a misty evening, however, when Mary Mickletbwaite took i- her way thither, and there was no one d on the road but herself. -i?-J.. :? fk. 11- xne bud was . an wu) ucai iu^ vuo horizon as she came in sight of the [. sea ; in the gray mist it hung like a 0 ball of fire, making a red pathway r across the water. The girl turned in among the furze bushes out of sight of of the road, and, seating herself on a 8 pile of stones, absently watched the U ball drop towards the sea line. She was a perfectly unromantic figure, with a broad, good-humored face and a thick waist, dressed in a purple gown with red flowers in her bat. Presently, ~ at the sound of a footstep brushing through the furze, she got up and 1 turned to meet a young man who a ? moment after came into view. 0 They shook hands awkwardly by '> way of greeting and the young man said : a "I'm sorry, my lass; I'm afraid that '? I'm a bit late." f "Don't name it," said the girl. "I 't knew it was a chance if you got off." They moved slowly toward the 1 stones, and sat down side by side in i- an embarrassed silence; the young man t made holes in the ground with his s stick, and the girl pulled olf her brown thread gloves and rolled them up in a a tight ball in the palm of one hand. > The young man spoke first.' t "Well, Mary," he said, clearing his s throat, "has your father anything different to say today ?" , "No, Jack, it's just the same?it's all g no use," returned the girl. "I suppose j we must grin and abide." A "You told him about the place in 0 Birmingham and all ?" said the young man. "Yes," said the girl, sadly. "I put D the best face on it I could, but he J wouldn't let me say much. He's that d mad to think I should want to have ^ you at all, and when's he's like that d you can't change father, not if you was to crown him with gold." t "You told him we didn't mind waiti ing?" persisted the young man. "I !, dare say he'd think be couldn't do D without you in the shop first off, but we're not to a few months, eh, Mary ?" d "I never had the chance to tell him that," was Mary's reply. "He com. menced calling me for what I'd done, r, and said I wanted to disgrace him. ,t He says I needn't think to go to the rhnir anv more: he outs it all down to that. I Bha'n't mind that much when you are gone." "Mary," said the young man, sud^ denly and earnestly, "will you come in v spite of your father? I don't see but 6 what we should think of ourselves as well as of him. I'll go to Birmingham i- and get things ready for you, and I'll a put up the banns, and you can come ?f there to be married." e "Oh! Jack !" cried the girl, in great e distress. "I couldn't go again father t like that. Why, he'd never hold his e head up again ! You see, he's got only me now that mother's gone, and I e don't know what he'd do in the shop, e I thought we could get one of my cousins, and I could show her about j things ; but to leave on a sudden like u that " Jack was not easily to be turned s from bis point; he was slow witted, as was the girl, but the pain of this had pricked him to a keener insight than hers. Mary was aware of nothing but the dull pain of parting; Jack had a e forecast of the years to come. He put 0 it to her bluntly, with the unconscious brutality of bis class; they were young, her father was old?was he to spoil 3 their lives in this way ? A few years and he would be dead, and it would 3 concern him no more, but they bad - two-thirds of their lives to live, and - was it right they should be spoilt for e an old man's whim ? " J ? i?: , :.u c raary nau oo logic wuercwuu tu s this cogent reasoning; she bad only a e blind sense of duty to guide her. It e had never come in her way to question her obedience to her father, and the a idea now only frightened her. c "Does it stand to sense?" cried t Jack, in a last despairing appeal. g "Well, yes, it stands to sense," the ] girl allowed; "I don't know as I can rightly say all as I want. There's ' sense and sense, Jack. When father ? talks it's sense, and when you talk, it's sense ; and it's as if I'd like to do one thing and my conscience tells me to do another. I can't go again father, Jack? s I can't indeed." There was little more said between the two as they took their way home, ward. Outside the village they paused j by common consent. "Then I suppose it is good-bye, Mary?" "I suppose it is, Jack." They shook hands again awkwardly 1 and separated. 1 Jack left for Birmingham early next s morning without seeing Mary again. Simon Micklethwaite was a person e of consequence in Daignton. He was 1 the owner of a small piece of land, on * which were half a dozen cottages and - tne snop ne nimseir occupied,tne oniy piece of free hold not attached to the s manor for miles around. There was t no other shop in the village, and be,, sides having a thriving drapery and grocery business, "Micklethwaite's" a possessed the only spirit license, and i- was the district postoffice. Simon i himself was a hard-headed business a man, much respected by his neigha bors. it He had been elected poor-law guarit dian for the district, and folks said that, since he had sat on the board with the squire and the clergyman, he held his head higher thaD ever. If he had been the squire himself he could ot have been more indignant at the idea of his daughter wishing to wed with the son of one of his own cottagers. Jack Saunders had been a schoolmate of Mary's at the village school. For some years past he had been away, first serving his apprenticeship as a carpenter and then working as a journeyman at the same trade. Chance had given him a few months' work near his old home, and in that time the friendship between the two had been renewed. After Jack had gone, Mary went back to her old life uncomplainingly. It never occurred to her to nA??lAAf hat? sluttAO At* Ka ' <aa with UCi UUVIVO^ V? WW umxvj - ? ber rueals," as a protest against the hardness of ber lot; there was no shadow on ber broad and kindly face to touch her father's compassion. Once, about a month after she had parted from her lover, there came a sore trial to her obedience. She was stamping and sorting the morning letters, when she found one among them addressed to herself. It bore a Birmingham postmark, and Mary thrust it into her pocket with a guilty look toward her father. All through the day it lay there unopened, a heavy load upon her conscience, it <is true, but a joy deep and thrilling as well, the like of which she had never known before. When evening came, and she could leave the bouse an hour or two unnoticed, it was towards the sea she went, to read her letter on the same spot where she and Jack had parted. It was then that Mary felt that ber father had laid a tax on her heavier than she could bear. If she might have letters such as this now and then life would he very easy, she thought, but there was no need to ask her 1- 4. lrMAnf ?AA lamer s uuuaeuu tu tuai , ouo au^n ww well what bis answer would be, and to get them unknown to bim would be well-nigh impossible. Mary was simple, and truthful by nature, and deception of any kind would have been very painful to her; yet, perhaps, if it could be done without her father's knowledge, she might have consented to this correspondence for the gleam of hope that it held out was very sweet to her. But when she thought of the inevitable discovery, and the tempest of wrath she would have to face, she could not hesitate. That night, in her room she wrote her answer to Jack, repeating that she could not "go again father," and begging him to write no more. After this the monotony of her life went on unbroken. She formed a habit of walking out towards the sea on fine evenings, and sitting on the pile of stones where she and Jack had sat together for their last talk. Sometimes she brought her knitting with her, but more often she sat watching the changing color of the sea, and the whitewinged vessels passing to and fro. It would have surprised her very much to be told that she was romantic, yet it is true that when she was not thinking of her schooldays with Jack, or of their shy courtship and brief spell of happiness, she was we&ving impos sible daydreams or now ner iatner might relent, or how Jack, become suddenly wealthy and famous, should corns to claim her, with credentials that not even a landed proprietor and a poor-law guardian could deny. It gave the girl a curious pang now and then to be shaken out of her dreaming by the passing of a pair of lovers in their evening stroll. She could not have told why the sight of this made her own trouble more present to her, nor why it was so impossible to take up the broken thread of her reverie. She knew nothing about self-analysis,, and could only dry her eyes and hasten back to the village to get her father's supper, hoping the while he would not notice how the even red of her cheek had spread over nose and eyebrow. Micklethwaite, for bis part, was pleased with bis daughter's obedience in his own hard way, and was at no trouble to consider moods and feelings. Ten years had passed since Jack Saunders bad gone to Work at Birmingham, and many changes had come about. Jack was a good workman, and, after being foreman for three years, bad been taken into partnership by his master. The firm was at work on some cottages they had bad built outside the town as a speculation, and one of these Jack was finishing for bis own occupation, for he was about to be married. He had only been home once in the ten years, on a five days' trip in Whitsun-week, and then he had not seen Mary, who was away visiting some cousins. Since then his parents had died, and his connection with Daignton had ceased. Jack hardly knew himself how his marriage bad come about; it was not altogether through his own volition. He had been lodging for some three years with a widow about ten years older than himself. She had been from the first almost embarrassingly kind to him, and Jack had resented many of her ways with the impatience of a man who likes to be independent. Fate had at last given him helpless into her hands with an attack of typhoid, and only her unremitting care had pulled him through. The doctor was very emphatic in telling him that he owed his lite to nis nurse, and somehow it came to be understood that when he was well again they would be married. The new house was nearly ready, and if Jack lingered a little over the final details, it was not from any real reluctance to fulfil his promise, but because his illness had left him disinclined to exert himself more than he could help. At length, however, the house was finished and furnished, and Jack awoke one morning to realize that it was his wedding day. There was a flower in the glass on the table which he was to wear in his coat, and his new clothes were ready on a chair, laid there by the careful hands of the widow. A loud, cheerful voice hailed him from f below.; it was the foreman of the works, (J who was to be best man, calling to him to get up. Down stairs the parlor was already being set out with the wedding break- J fast, and Jack had the kitchen to himself for his hasty meal. There was a letter on the table which bad been brought from the works; the hand y was unfamiliar, and he let it lie there . till he had poured some tea and helped e himself to some rashers of bacon from the oven. Then he opened the letter, and propped it up against the teapot while be read: "Dear Jack" (it ran) "I write to tell you about father, for I suppose you won't have heard. He had the influ enza very bad, aod was buried three i weeks come Friday. I would have wrote before, but my time has been took up with the lawyers. It all comes to me?there is very near ten thousand invested and three hundred jn the bank. If you are of the same mind, as I hope and believe there is nothing in the way now, you can come and help me manage; I can't get on without. I wouldn't have wrote in such a hurry, only they keep on saying I must have a man. Father says nothing about it in his will?about marrying, I mean. I think maybe he thought better about it. "Your ever constant, Mary Micklethwaite." The widow bad donned her wedding _ gown, and the party was ready to start ? for church. She came hustling out i into the kitchen, and cried out in dis- \ may when she saw Jack's untouched I breakfast. ? "Why, deary me! What ails the i man ? It might be his own funeral he ? was going to 1" she said, in real con- i cern, when she saw how pale be looked.' ? Jack pulled himself together, and pro- a tested he was all right, but he did not feel hungry ; as it was too late to make | any further delay, the widow had to L be content with thinking that she I would make him have a substantial j. meal afterwards. f m J- 1 ?1 .U. ^ JLOwarus eveuiug, wuou iuc wcuuiug / party bad dispersed, and the newlymarried couple were left in possession of their new borne, Jack had half an hour to himself, while Mrs. Saunders helped the little maid to prepare tea.
