She wore a monstrous waterfall the night
when tirst wo met
A roll, half horse, hall'human han-, hun;.'
hi a beadeihict;
It rested on her shoulders, for the first time

And sho 1 oked just like a Digger squaw
when lugging a papoose;
Or. taking a good rearward squint at bead
and hair together,
Jud bi." a ??oise with tail tied up in very
muddy weather.
And she stooped beneath lier burden, she
thought was passing fair,
With lier dainty hoad drawn backward, and
her nose turned up in air,
I saw uer but a moment, so graceful and so
tall,
Bending, sweating -neath the burden nfl? r
cherished waterfall.
Black as T?thiop wore the silken curls thal ?
nature to her gave.
And the} rippled round ber forehead hi j
many a glorious wav
Anil proudly would she : hie them round ?
ber ting.-rs slim and fa iv,
And many were the lover.-, thal had begged j
a li*ek of hair.
Ind on.-, freely had -ie- severed them from '

she will give them "rats."
Or In more ph asani ni..meid . she'll hand'
them in a trice.

"don't smell ii mice:" ' !
t saw tier but c : mtnout. when she flirted al
a ball.
Almost fainting 'neath the burden of her
monstrous waterfall. I
Kissing brow, and chook, and be.-.mi, once
b. r glorious hair swept free,
How I envied ?hem their pleasures! I! ev '
longed a cur! to be!
But n<c.v tie y are strained backward till hi r

Dost roving all i hi ir bea ut\ making islands?

And et!vying the camel his far from pretty

moBdous bunio:
Acd bowing low {.. fimhietl --its senseless

Oh! I saw her hut .> limmen', as she whirl?.d

With a load upon her shoulders che ,-all. .1 !

Gone the beauty of her figure- gone tim

For her hoad is like a pondie with its tail

railroads don't turn out much for little
places lik? that-and found that my
man bad probably thought to bide bis

station-about six miles away. I took
a horse and rode over ?bore. At th?
hotel whero I took dinner, I found
that a man answering tho description

and got many a truce of him here and

So nCter boating about the bush for a

Weil. Harris didn't know where
Love hud gone to. further limn that
lie took tho road for ('lieitiunk. a place
ahttlv? forty miles buck i i the contd ry.
on tue shore of Lake .Michigan; and
there were lialf-ii-do/.cti villages along
flu route. So, fee next morning. I
hired a horse ?iud in;ggv io go lo('he
niunk and hack, ami started oil". I
stooped in ali those villages along the
way, but got no sight of him. J
reached Ciicniunk ou a Saturday, and
tis it was ti mighty pleasant little pince
on the Ink . shore, I took a notion to
stay over Sundav, and goto church.
I saw my man at iii it church, sir,
Wxfch his wife, lo, king a < demure as
you phase, though the woman had
every appearance of being ti Lad cha?
ril. . -r, and I thought she looked very
Hilton out Ol' pl tye there. Of course,
I wouldn't arrest Lim on Sunday, ?md
chere was no use now, for lu; was safe
. had no tron?le in taking him the
next day. Tilt woman carried on
high, but I told L r it was no use. I
\ took him in my buggy, und started on
i my way home. His wife Insisted on
! going too. but I told her she couldn't
g.) in tay buggy; if she wanted to fol
; low me in another buggy, she could
do that, but I'd have to have a consta?
ble to drive it for her, for fear of acci?
dents. She agreed, and she followed
ino idl the way back to that village
. that I can't remember the name of,
j and took the same train with us-that
. is. inc and my man.
I I i he was ten years older than he was
1 I should say. andeee was very devoted
i ?.c him. She waited cn him like a j
servent, end ~r.s continually doing
ecrr.cthing for him'-buying orango:.;
and things, slipping lier handkerchiefs
under Hs darbies to ease hi-* wrists,
and co on. *
'.rho young man denied tho bank
robbery up oed down, and told a very
tient story to clear it up. Ko said his
rt T'.ar.1'; was Love, ami thai he toe;;
tiie name of Haight asa disguise while
he was hiding from his father in L-.
Mi had run awry from his father, vdu5
i i ved in Nev,- ?ork city, ont of love ;
?>r thc woman that was with him. He
said sim was a married woman, but
wis siiiu:: fer a divorce at tin- time lie
wr.s boarding in L-. and he was
wailingfor tim result of tin- trial. She
lived with her parents on a farm half- 1
wa\ between L- --and the next sta?
tion, and Im used t-> go to see her
( veilings-meeting her in Tue road by
her father's house. After she g<?: the
divorce she came into her money, and
(but wa- where he got his ninney to
pay his board and bis traveling ex
pensi s. Her fi?!k.; were resp-.?.table i
obi people, and he ami Iiis lady-love
arranged between 'em to save, scandal
hy his going oil' alone and traveling
aho.t:1 for a week or two, and at the
einl of that time they incl in Toronto !
mill wore nan ried. Then they carno
<e> \\ i !, and tinally had settled ?Iowa
a! C'lieinunk. All they wanted, was a
home for themselves, they cared not
leo? humble, where they cou!?I live
and love in peace, away from all their
?.M accpiaintances.
A wry nice yarn, wasn't it?
Veiw well go' up it was, sir, andi
that's a fact wv y well got np. Hut !
tho best of it was", thad it was all true j
Fi*??in beginning to end, as 1 found ]
winn i ot to jj -with my prisoner, '?
! isl Mo| dav night.
Tin- real burglar had been caught ;
that Vi'-v day, and had confessed his.
crime. So the lir.sL tiling I had to ?lo
was to take off young Love's hand
cull's .no! ask him whai lie wanted <>f
nm lu tim way of satisfaction, lie and i
h'.s.wi'e were overjoyed at the new,
t.i "a of affairs; and :.s it was night ?
when we got in, all they iisk'vl of me
was ?iii rt\ to I ave town by the mid?
night train West, and a promise thal ?
! wi ?tdd not tell the L- people who
tiiey really were. The woman baa'.

So that was tho way I worked lint! I
