About six years ago tho bo.lily troubles which llunlly cause I his retirement nt a time when his m "nt.nl faculties wore in the zenith of their strength, began their oncro lohmant upon his naturally strong const it ill ion. A few days ago a Kentucky Po*' reporter called upon Judge Kicc, who In tho following words related tho history of the causes tlint led to his retirement "It Is just about six years sineo I hat an attack of rheumatism, slight nt tlrst, hut soon developing into Sciatic rheumatism, which began tlrst witli acute shooting pains in tho hips, gradually extending downward to my feet.

This morning I saw a young girl come out of the green side door with a basket of clothes. "Hard pull that for a young one," ( nays 1 to myself, and took another look at her. She had on aouie kind of a blue froek, with the sleeves rolled up, aud her hair was brown, shining gold like in the sun as she bent to the basket now on the ground, aud drew out a sheet and began to ]?ut it on the liue. Well, p'raps you wouldn't believe it, sir, but I kept, thinking about the girl nil dny, and when I inn do my return trip 1 stared with nil roy might at the clothes hanging there. But they just ltappod back, kind ol disdainful, and I didn't cntch aglinipso of what 1 wanted to see. I was making then a round trip and a half a day, so I stayed every other night in Chewboro, the town next that where my girl in blue lived. i Well, that being my Chewboro evening, I walked six miles and hock to pass the old gray farmhouse. I saw her, too, for, as I was sittU)? '. on the stone wall opposite the house, resting and speculating as to yho she ~"\vas,~ T*lut?window uud looked out at the moon. All the next day I kept thinking how pretty she looked with her arinc raised to hang the sheet, and how the light glistened 011 her hair, an I hov eho had leaned forward to look up at the moon, and that night?that was my Boston night?I spent in retelling her from the coils of a boa constrictor. only to llnd her tlio next minute in danger of being crushed by a freight cur.

I sat down nnd had a real pleasant < aveuing, and it wasn't the last I spebt there, either, for in course of time whenever I spent the night in Ohewboro, which was every other night you remember, I spent the cveuiug with Molly. One evening wo got talking about names, and says I: "Your name's a queer one?Stack- ( pole?1 never met with it before ex- 1 rept when I was a boy.* Down in Maine j where I lived there were two boys i who had been loft on the poorhouso steps one night, nnd who were brought i up there. ^-X^m and 'fiije their names were, I remember, and we boys used to call them 'haystack' for fun." Molly had given a little ory of sympat liy for the orphans, I Bup-i posed, but ceased abruptly as her grandfather glanced at. her sevorely. Ho was a stern man and disliked all display of softheartedness. "The name isn't uncommon in some parts," said he, and that was all. Do you know, after that evening, the old man would hardly speak to me, and gave mo to understand by his manner 1 I t T . U _ 1 _ ? J a * vuin i wnsu t as weicomo as i iisea 10 It made mo mad.

Now I don't want to do anything underhand, and I know your honest little heart wouldn't let yon, oilherv so the.only thing for us to do in to get married right off, and I'll go and ask your grandfather now." You hoc, we'd made it all up between us some time before, but we'd agreed to wait a year, because Molly was eo young. Alolly said "Yes," and o!T I went to interview the old man. I didn't expect a very cordial reception, but 1 didn't expect anything nearly bo watm as I got. I was consigned to a spot not fit to be mentioned before ladies th?j minute I 11.ado my proposition, and tho old gentium ?n used language ;that certainly didn't belong to 4- deacon.

But he wouldn't have anything to Bay to mo but "no, no, no," and wouldn't listen to nnythiug I said, sol I went oft to find Molly crying under an | apple tree, for Bho'd heard our angry voices. I didn't see her tho noxt evening but one, for I found at my boarding house a long Jotter from her, in whioo she said: Hrn, doar, gran lfat'aor is vary determine 1. an I you'd better not come over this week. It's all about those two llttlo boys you know la Maine, In tho piorhouse. You see, I lift t an Uncle To:n, who was grandfather's oldest son. Ho turned oat to bo very wild, an I n great trial to graudfathor, and ho nearly broke grandfather's heart. After awhile he married an actress, and they went away an 1 never were heard of for years. Ortndfnther Is an awfully proud man. and ho was mortified to death at the way Unole To:n ha l aetod. Ho had been expelled from the church, aud triat was a groat blow, and, finally, whoa ho brought home his wife, that w is the Ualshing touch.

I was going to take the day o!T anyway, but I thought I'd rather got it honestly if 1 oould. I got jicrmisaion for Joo McDonald to run his engine on my troin and that suited mo i I needed a locomotive b oarrying out my plan and of oourso j know my own best. The rest of the night I spent iu soiuo nocossary carpenter work. A long day tho next was. I obtained a marriage license, and with that iu my pookot 1 felt that I oould dofy any cross grainod grandfather. Early iu tho afternoon I got up steam in forty-seven, and it sooincd as if tho minutes were hours until 6 o'clock. I'd had to toll tho sohome to iny firomon?I'd got leave for him too. 1 was gutting pretty nervous wlion wo started out a little before ft o'clock. Wo ran slowly up tho road, and then got on to a aido track that ox* touda alongside tho main road about tou miles and wtuj just thon froo from cars, luokily. At last wo heard tho rumble of tho express in the distance. Then T pulled tho throttle and wo began to make good speed, so that our gait just equaled that of tho express, and we ran side by side, first, second, third car. Thot was the one I had told Molly to be in, and on the farther side, ho that her grandfather should not boo my engine. We fell bnck a little and ran oven with tho rear platform of the car. Would she have the courage to do it? Such a slight little thing as alio was, and it would need such pluck. Could she escape the old man's vigilance? V.va cl?. llw. ' Quick now. There was the result of my niglit'B carpenter work?a plank long enongh to roach from the cab of my locomotive to fh? platform of thi car, provicloil with a rail, so that th ; perlious walk might be made as safe as possible. It was fitted in place an I she stopped upon it bravely, though her checks were deathly pale. How auxiously I watchod every step, keeping one hand on the throttle lest cither engine increase or slacken its speed and the plank be shaken or bent from the straight line. Ilalf way across! A littlo faltering as she glanced down at the flying gravel. "Coiiiage, my darling," I cried. People were beginning to crowd to the windows, and out upon the platform rushed the brakenmn and a half dozen passengers, and among them grandfather Stackpole. No one dared to speak for fear that Molly would lose litr balance. The brakenmn steadied that end of the the bridge and the deacon wruug his hands in misery. Almost over, two steps more, and tlinn T milled hrr in ami mnut herml her with kisses, while the fireman slackened our speed and played engineer for awhile. The plank, Molly's dangerous bridge, fell to the ground as the express pulled ahead, and we notieed that the feat had been accomplished just in time, for I looked out and saw only a threequarter niile stretch of tho sido track before us. We reversed the engine?dear old forty-seven that had won me a wifeami within an hour I was the husband of the sweetest little woman that man ever loved - -my Molly, here. "What became of grandfather?" Ho soon forgave Molly, and has always been kind to us, but his hoart is still darkened to Tom's sons, whom Molly insisted on hunting up in Maine.
