ii M ? ? .Q The Major's Story A i > "Yes, my hair is white for a man of my vears/' said he, running his shapely lingera through the snow white locks. "But, then, I have seen .a great deal of the world, you know. Sometimes I think it would have been better if I had not." "But what cuused your hair to turn so white? It cannot be age, for, if I am a judge, you are not over forty." Tho Juajon laughed. "Xo. I was forty on my last birthday, add my hair has been its. present shade for the last ten years." "Come, major, I'm sure, ?herc is a story here. Let's have it??* Again tho major smiled, but this time a perceptible tremor shook his frame. "I never like to think of that lime," he said. "But be it as you twill. . "When I was thirty y^ars old I "was employed by Uncle Sam to ?cour the country for moonshiners. My territory lay mostly in the southern states. It was in ISSI that I received an order from the chief of the division to go into the Ten nessee region and locate several ?tills that were turning out kegs of .illicit liquor near Little Tucksoe. I twas of a light hearted, daredevil clisposition, and usually such an or der would have spurred me to my best, but on this September morn ing, when, leaving civilization be hind, I struck tho trail leading up the side of Little Tucksoe, a strange ieeling o? foreboding came over me. fT/he birds twittered over my head, and the purling brook rippled be neath my feet. All nature was at ?her best, and yet a feeling of in describable dread oppressed me. "On I stumbled, deep in my gloomy meditations, when suddenly I nearly fell over a girl, clad In a single calico garment, who was kneeling beside a hawberry bush .filling a pail with the fruit. The surprise was mutual, and she start ed up like a frightened fawn. With out disparagement of the sex I can safely say that no plainer women ?xist on the continent than the av erage female moonshiner. As the girl turned, however, she displayed a face in pleasing contrast with the characteristic high, cheek bones and 'ague' complexion of that section. 'Her oval features, brown as a ber Ty, but regular in outline, set efl by a pair of ruby lips and jet. black oyes, would compare favorably with those of any fashionable belle. " 'Wha' be you goin' ?' she asked, with a startled air. " 'I am an artist,' I replied, 'come ito sketch some bits of scenery. I am looking for Jerry Bowman/ " 'Wha' you want wi* him V "'I am going to board at his house.' " 'Huh 1 Then you un wants Ole iHossP "I was uncertain, but nodded. ?By this time X had drawn a packet from my pocket and begun making hurried marks on it. The girl peer ed over my shoulder and asked : " How long be you un goin' ter ?tay?? "'Just overnight/ I replied. I '. "Sue gazed at the scrawl and said: *' 'Waal, I guess you un can come on.' "Up the tortuous path, twisting now to the right and now to the Seft, we went till suddenly the girl pushed aside the thick undergrowth ?nd darted along a trail leading di rectly into the heart of the forest. 1 said not a word, but did considera ble thinking as now and then a pro truding hawberry brier, tore its way into my flesh, or a stiff twig, bent if or ward by my guide, with a 'zip' -flew back, striking me across, the face, o?uuen?y I heard a howling shriek. The girl gave a low, pe culiar whistle, and the next instant if our large curs were pawing at hex feet and in a most uncomfortable manner sniffing at my heels. " This is pap/ the girl whispered, 'This is Ole Hoes/: tho man you ur is a-lookin' fur.' "Whence he came and how he gol there I was never able to explain tc Imyself, but there he was, armed tc the teeth, a large hunting knife ix his belt, a shotgun on bis shouldei -and the mountaineer's grin on hie face. " 'Wha' flo you un want fi he de manded. "1 am an artist,' I replied, 'and Jim, Bludsoe, whom I met in the *illage> thought I could get board Arith you for a day or so.', " 'Jim's friends are mine/ he said, with, a sidelong glance. . 'Come on/ I"This was much easier than I ha? <??cp?cted.

I vas very tired, and, though I intended to rise when all ! was quiet and take a view of tho j premises, I fell asleep. "I wr.s awakened, by tho pressure ! of something cold against my fore- I head and, opening my eyes, looked into the muzzle of a revolver, while the voice of my host said : " 'Ef you un moves a hand, off goes vcr topknot !' "'What does this mean?' I de manded in ?hy sternest tones. " 'lt means that we uns are onter you un. That's all/ "Several oilier figures now stood over my'couch,' hud my genial host said : " 'Waal, shall we uns finish him now or wait ?' " 'Let's take him outside/ one suggested. '.After they had bound me hand and foot I was carried into the open air. A short consultation was held, j and I caught the words, 'down ter j the hut/ " 'Xaw/ said one brawny fellow, 'he ain't bad ez that. Besides Pete may be mistaken/ "His objections were received with murmurs of disapproval. " 'It ain't too much/ asserted my host. 'It's jest what he deserves, an' it'll prove an example to the* others/ "There was some more discussion. Then I was informed that on my arrival Pete Sandford, a member o? tho gang, whose still I had aided in destroying some time previously, but who had escaped from the officers, had recognized mo as a detective who had come under the guise of friendship to land them all in pris on and that I was to be left in the hut. "This failed to strike terror to my soul, however, as I supposed they would merely leave me there over night, and I should then have a possible chance of escape. Had I known the true nature of my pun ishment I would have begged my captors to mercifully pnt a bullet through my brain. "They carried me to the hut, and one of the men carefully opened the ' door and peered in. He took a torch and thoroughly inspected every j nook before entering. Finally, hound hand and foot, I was laid on a pile of husks in one corner. Then the men departed without even clos- i ing the door. I was highly elated at this oversight and lay endeavoring to muster strength to break my bonds when I heard a rustling, gliding sound in one corner of the room. Could it be that some other human creature was imprisoned with me? No, it must bo the wind outside. Then from the long, dark opening used as a fireplace came a similar sound, another and another. What was it? What could this mean? | "Suddenly I felt something glide across my legs as they lay bound on the foot of the bed, and the aw ful horror of the situation that my persecutors had devised dawned on me. I was in a den of snakes. If I moved, I was a dead man. Sick with terror I became unconscious, j "I awoke lying beside the road. The moon was shining full in my face, and bending over me was the girl I had met in ?he afternoon. " "Twar a clus call for you un/ she said. 'I heered pap an' the fellers a-talkin' ez haeow they left yer here, an' when 1 got er chance I come to you un/ " *How did you do,it?' I gasped.

In Mexico the ground devoted to cemeteries is usually von limited; . consequently tho interment of a new body involves the digging up ot I the bones of some one buried ninny I years before. In a corner of such cemeteries is an open pit into which these exhumed bones aro thrown. At Saitillo, where 1 practiced some years ago, the pit in one of tho cem eteries had been more than filled and quite a mound of bones showed up above the ground. In following one of my patients to this cemetery I had noticed the dumping pile and with o doctor's love of bones resolv ed to try to get some. . I approached the old sexton, who lived on the ground. I explained to him that I was a doctor and want ed thc bones to study the makeup o? pay patients and offered to pay him n fair price for such ns I should se lect. He denied my request, telling ; mc that that was a private cemetery ? and for no consideration could he permit a single bone to bc taken therefrom. Ile informed me, however, that if i would go on about a half mile far ther I would come to a public burial ground where there was also an overflowing pit, from which there would be no objection to my helping myself. "But/' he added soberly, "tiley may not be the kind of bones you need in your business. Only ?oor people are buried out there." looked at the old fellow closely, but his face was sphinxlike. To this day I can't say whether he was guy ing me or expressing an honest opin ion.-Mexican Letter in Galveston News. _ Mr. Hillyer'? Burglar Alarm. Mr. Hillyer was a heavy sleeper. He was a man aiso with a chronic j fear of burglars. It was these two I things that led him to have the win I dow of his sleeping room equipped ! 'frith a burglar alarm of the latest I and most approved description. I A few mornings after the device j had been installed he came down to breakfast with a grin on his face. ! "I had a funny dream last night," he said. "I dreamed that a burglar j raised my window and the alarm ! went off, but he didn't seem to mind it. He rummaged the bureau draw ers, found my watch and pocket ! book and slipped out the way he ' came in. By the way," he added, "I forgot to bring down my watch and pocketbook. I'll go and get them." \ He went upstairs and returned in a moment with an entirely different look on his face. The watch and pocketbook were gone. It had not been a dream. A Touching Tribute. In a tiny country village in New England a vornan died recently, and her relatives., friends and neighbors decided that a woman who had been so popular in lifo deserved some thing out of the ordinary in the way of a funeral. The village did not boast of a band, but it had a drum corps, which was hired to do honor to the occasion. Solemnly it played on the way to the cemetery, but on the re turn it was asked to play something livelier as a sort of quickstep home. But the drum corps had made a specialty of serious music-grid knew only one lively air. However, it. was perfectly willing to play the on ly cheerful bit of music it knew, and the funeral procession went cheerily home to the strains of "The Girl I Left Behind Me."--New York Times. Consistency. "What have you been doing all . day, dearest?" said his wife on his return home. "Working like a dog." At that moment the family pet got up from the sofa pillow on which he had been sleeping behind the stove, stretched from his long afternoon nap, whined at the door to be let out and after his request was granted stood in the yard for an hour or two and barked at the moon.--Cleveland Leader.

A CHINESE FUNNY STORY. Typical Example of tho Humor of th? Flowery Kingdom. Hero is a typical example of a Chinese tunny story: A passenger boat full of people was on the point o? pushing off from thc shore when a man came running up in hot haste and asked to he taken cn board. "There's no room. Wo can't take you," answered tho boatman. But he was not to be put of! so easily. "If vou will let me come/' he cried, "I will tell you a tale!" The pas sengers began to discuss the situa tion. "Wo have nothing to do,'' they said to each .other, "and it's very tedious. If he were to tell us a story it would while away the time," Accordingly (regulations as to thc number of passengers hoing hy no means strict in tho flowery land) tho applicant was allowed to come on board. Tho passengers squeezed closer and so managed to make room for him, proving tho truth of tho Gorman adage, "Many patient sheep go into i\ small fold." After giving tho newcomer a lit tle breathing time they asked for tho promised story. Without hesi tation he hogan: "Ch'ao Ch'ao once led 830,000 men (infantry and cav alry) to tho south of tho Yangtse." Ch'ao Ch'ao was a famous Chi nese general who lived in the time of tho Han dynasty, about tho be ginning of tho Christian era, and whose deeds of prowess are still re lated with great gu<<to among his fellow countrymen. "On their way," went on the storv teller, "they had to cross a river ny a bridge which consisted of a single plank. They crossed over one by ono." Here the narrator began to make noises which were supposed to represent the trampling of the steeds, "Teh teh-teh." This went on till his audience grew rather tired of it. At last some one said, "Please go on with the story." "You must wait for them to cross the bridge," was the answer. "When 830,000 men and horses have to cross a one plank bridge it won't do to hurry them. They must be careful or they might fall into the water," and he calmly resumed his "teh-ieh-teh." Again his audience pleaded for a continuation of the story, but again he declined to be hurried. "They can't cross the bridge in a short time," he said. "They must go slowly and carefully." So he went on with his "teh-teh-teh," and, how ever much he waa urged, he would say nothing else. So the boat rt ich ed its destination, and the story waa never finished because Ch'ao Ch'ao's army had not yet had time to* cross the bridge. The Thirst For Gold. Tlie Kidder Independent printed a "Hand Me That Dollar" editorial the other day which covered a col umn and a half. The writer first announced that the Independent is "it" as a news medium and then said: "We are not aware on just what isogonic, isocrymic, isohysetose or isogeothermal line our officium hath xor its habitation, but we do know that to all animalia with the expedition perhaps of the lepido sauria, the lepidotera and the la mellibranchiate it is a self evident fact our paper (Egyptian papyrus) is the greatest disseminator o? thought since the kritarchy.

John Grecnlcaf Whittier, most modest and retiring o? celebrities, became at tho height of his faino amusingly expert in discerning hero worshipers afar ami eludiug their overtures. A recent anecdote relates that once while strolling in thc country with his friend and fellow poet, Lucy Larcom, he perceived two wo men approaching whom he suspect ed to bc tourists who intended per haps to ?peak, certainly t<> stare. Ile made no reference to them, but Enid casually to his companion, who was talking in serene absorption and had not noticed: "Lucy, thc sun is getting very hot. Hadn't thee bet ter put ti]) thy parasol Miss Larcom obeved mechanical ly, still talking. "And 1 think. Lucy, thee'd bettor come round on my other side," ho added. She did so, her voice rip pling sweetly on. "And it' thee'd slant thy parasol the other way, Lucy," he suggested. This, too, she did unheeding, but just as tho women had passed quito unable to see anything but the top of her comfortably ample green sunshade:-she brought her argu ment to a conclusion and, pausing for a response, became aware of a whimsical look in tho face of her companion; also that tho sun shone faintly from behind a cloud, that they were walking in shadow at tho edge of the woods and that her par asol was tipped at an angle which might afford protection from falling acorns, but from nothing else. "Well!" said she, furling it in be wilderment. "What did I put this up for?" "Really I don't know," responded the poet demurely. "I thought it strange myself. And there were two ladies who just passed, trying very hard to peep tinder it too. 'I think they must have been admirers of thy poems, Lucy." Then Miss Larcom understood the ruse and replied with a laugh, "My poems, indeed !" - Youth's Companion. Why Ho Was Bold. "I think," she said hesitatingly and with downcast eyes, "that you'd better speak to papa." "Sure," he replied promptly. 'That's dead. easy. The only thing that troubled me was the interview with you." "You're not afraid of papa ?" she asked, opening her eyes in astonish ment. "Afraid!" he exclaimed. "Why should I be?" "Really, I don't know," she re plied, "but it's usual, you know." "Oh, I suppose so!" he answered in the offhand way of the man of the world. "For inexperienced me;, it might be troublesome, but I have taken the precaution to lend him money, which is still unpaid." Then it was tho beautiful girl realized that she had caught a genu ine financier for a husband.-New York Press. A Wall Timad Sally. When Wilson, the English come dian, made his debut it was in the character formerly supported by Shuter. Upon his appearance on the stage the audience called out for their former favorite by crying: "Off, offl Shuter, Shuter 1" Wilson, turning round and with a face as stupid as art could make it and suit ing his action to his words, replied: "Shoot herl Shoot her!" pointing at the same time at the female per former on the stage with him. "I'm sure she does her part very well." This well timed sally of seeming stupidity turned the scale in his fa vor and called down repeated ap plause, which continued during tho whole of the performance. Happily Located.
