And 1 slept al night In a trundle-hed.

A YANKEE SCHOOL TEACH
ER IN UTAH.
Lohigh is a little town a few milos
south of Salt Lako City. I roachotl it
lnto-ono cold Friday afternoon in l)o
combor, and whim I alighted at tho
station asked a small hoy who wns
standing near if ho would direct mo to
tho hotel.
"Hotol! Thero ain't no hotel in this
town."
"Whoro do pcoplo go who want to
atop In Lehigh over night?"
"They go to tho Bishop's houso over
Ihorc."
'.'.'ho Bishop's house! A At or mon
Bishop, and 1 a Ynnkoo school teacher
scut out ns a missionary from tho Epis
copal church! Hut thero was no help
for it, as I must havo sholtcr for thu
night; so I crossod tho road and
knocked boldly nt thu door. It wns
oponed by tho Bishop's wife, n tall,
thin, caroworn womun, who eyed mo
sharply.
"Can 1 stny hero nil night?" 1 asked;
"1 havo just como to Lehigh on tho
train."
"Who ho you?"
I told hoi* my lanae, and added that
I had lived part of my lifo in Louisiana,
Hint portion of our country hoing less
obnoxious to theso pooplo thnu tho
Eastern Stntos.
"Ho you a Gentile?" sho imputed,
nf ter nuothor sharp look nt mc.
"I nm not a Jow. that's certain," I
said laughingly, "So 1 supposo I must
bo n Gentile."
"Tho J'ishop don't low Gentiles iii
this town. They DOVOr sot foot hero,
lint you can como in if you '.?ant to."
1 was surprised at'tho end o? her sen
tence, which bore no ryt-?.-mb!.;nco to
tho beginning, and gladly accepted tho
rather equivocal invitation.
Tho room which I ontcrcd was small
and poor, uso?! for parlor, dining-room
and general sitting-room. In the apart?
mont boyond 1 heard the click of a sew
ing-mneliino and tho sound of girl's
voices.
"What d'yo como to Lehigh^or?"
Mrs. Evans inquired, still eyeing mo
with inimonso curiosity.
"I came hero to opou n school," I
said.
"A school! What sort of n school?"
"A school for nil tho boys and girls
that want to come. ilnvcn't you
daughters that you would like lo
send?"
She ignored tho Inst quostiOD uud
faced mo with her mills akimbo.
"What bo you going to charge?"
..Nothing..
"Nothing! That's a queer way to
keep a school. Guess you'll get tired
of it soon enough."
A long pauso followod, during which
sho seemed to bo studying mo and
Srowing moro mid moro perplexed,
t Inst sho shot at mo this oucstion:
"Bo you n l'rcsbytorinn?
"No/5'
"A Mot body?"
"No."
Sho turnod around abruptly and
Hung opon tho door of tho noxt room,
where I had heard tho sowing machine.
"(?iris, como ?ut here. Hero's a
woman, an' ?ho's young an' slic'Bgohi'

an' sho ain't n Presbyterian or n

Tho girls crowded around mo-such

"Aro all theso your daughters?" 1
inquired, though I felt that it could
not Oo pos -iiilc.
"Oh, no. Thoy aro Matilda's, and
Jane's, and Lorcny and Martha
Ann's."
"And who is Matilda, mid Jaie, nud
Loreny mid Mnrthn Ann?"
"Tho bishop's families," nndsho sot
her teeth hard and turned awn- from
mo.,
I found nftorwnrd that no flu? wifo
of a Mormon ever spanks of tie other
womon who aro "soalod" to per hus
band as his wives." Thoy arti always
"families."
1 noticed a small orean in ike bnok
room, standing opposite to the sowing
machine.
"Do you play?" I asked.
They ail shook thoir hoadi rather
sadly. I loamed that tho organ was
to thom a great and awful mystery. It
had never bcou opened since it wns
brought into tho houso sumo m m le bo
fore, taken by tho Bishop in pu t pay
ment of a debt There was ti man at
the railroad station, they told mo, who
could play an organ. Evideitly thoy
fait the greatest admiration for tho
man at the station.

had accidentally left out a

I laughed as I told thom I know a
good ninny.
"Ncvor counted 'oinP"
"No; 1 novor collided thom."
Tho man at tho station, ihoy in
formed mo, only know six. lt was
plain that my musical reputation was
already far ahead of that acquired by
tho man at tho station.
When 1 went to bed that night tho
Bishop had not returned. As 1 ap
proached tho dining-room tho next
morning I hoard a gruff bass voico
growling? with a jerk on uno!) word,
"Put her out! put her out!" 1 naturally
supposed some sort of wild animal had
entered tho house, and hesitated an in
stant before opening tho ?loor. "A
(?entilo woman-all night-in this
houso! A ('entile woman! Y'ou put her
out! But her out!"
I opened tho door then and walked
into tbe little room. Tho Bishop stood
in tho middle of it, in a perfect, tory.
"Good morning, sir, 1 1 said, as
pleasantly ns I could.
"You're a (?entilo woman!" ho
growled' in response to my .salutation.
"I laid out this town of Lehigh just
thirty-four years ago, and you're tho
first (?entilo woman who ever got into
ill"
"Well", I said, as 1 took a chair and
sealed myself comfortably, "that is
(piite an interesting cll'CUmslauco, I'm
sure I'm proud of tho honor of being
tho first. 1 appreciate it."
"You'vc got to go," ho growled, in
tho samo jerky tone in which ho hail
said "Put her out! Put her out!"
"Oli, no," I said; "I've conic to
stay. It is till tho moro necessary for
ino to .stay if I am tho only one, but 1
assure you, Bishop Evans, there aro
plumy more who will como after me."
Ile looked as if ho wero going to
Htrike nie. I liaVO no doubt but that
he would have done so if he had darell.
But ono's lifo is safe onotigh in Utah.
Th?- killing days have gone by, anil the
Mc mons know it. They are afraid of
out (iovornmont interfering when they
shed blood. Thc Bishop simply glared
willi a ferocious look and clinched
hand:, then strode out of tho house,
giving tho door a tcnilic bang behind
him. Mrs. Evans was nearly frightened
out ot her wits.
"There's a train from Lehigh at ll
o'clock," she began, when I interrup
ted her. "I didn t cunio lo Lehigh at ?
o'clock Friday afternoon," I said, "to
leave it on ?Saturday morning. 1 have
come to stay, my dear madam, as I
told your husband."
That day I attempted to lind aboard
iug-plaCO, tho attempt consisting in
walking from house to house, knocking
ut tho door and asking for a room ol
some sort, not being particular as tc
B?/.0, location or furnishing. The door;
were invariably slammed in my face,
though in many cases tho slamuiinj;
process was preceded by the question,
which after a while became ludieron.'

"('an you sing us .-. tune out of you

ci vi I iv:.t i ion in thu most honeyed tones,
"who ever would have t hough I of see

Mr. t.'liiltendeii for a moment was

an entire Stranger; bul he loves a jolie,
and a twinkle slioaod in his clear
gray eye as ho replied with a (pilot
smile:
"My name is not Smith; li's
Brown."
Tho dlllllsll yoting man bowed his
most fashionable bow and at once pass

pursued his way. lie had Slopped

accosted hy another apparition in a

Mr. ('hittendcn's faith in human nature

or whether his love ot a joke again im
pelled him, he does not now remember,
but iii; immediately seized the hand
extended to him and shook it willi cor

the wannest greetings.
"How do you lind yourself, my dear

tightening his grasp of tho stranger's

"Aye, lad; cordiality runs in our

But Mr. Chlttondon is not the mau
to part from old friends so hastily, and
so lie only jerked Ibo ann of his new

expressions of delight. By this time
the thing was getting sorioUS. Tho

with pain, and struggled in the vice

lobster in the clutches of ?Ul octopus.
His face and lins were colorless, and
I his brow st roamed with cold perspira

His collar broke loose, his hat fell oil',
and tho light seemed to have faded out
of his life. Thc agony depicted on his
fuco was not lessened when he saw
that a crowd was gathering; and tho
farmer released him only after a final
wrench which nearly lore tho wily

"What, going' already?'' exclaimed
Mr. ChlttendOD, who had never turned

"Well, well, you needn't bo in such a
