It was long past sundown when I camped on the roadside in the Rogue river valley, and the sky was full of tho afterglow, and tho Siskyou range was git auiiug. Other tramps had used the nearer wood, but 1 scraped up enough to light a fire and boil some water for tea. I had a little mutton and some bread to i*at, and I gulped it down mis erably. What was L doing in such a place? And what was my place in the universe? I yearned terribly for some ■one to speak to. Even a common tramp -of tho usual order would have helped tne in my mood that night, i But as the afterglow faded and the etars arose from the east and the crests of the Siskyous became mere sharp mountain forms against the sky the silence was oppressive. It was warm and very still, and the subdued hum of the unseen insect world accentuated the depth of silened on the human earth. My nerves were on edge. The howl of a chained dog on a distant farm made me start from a waking dream. I throw more wood on my fire, and, unrolling my blankets, I lay down. Perhaps I had been asleep no more than a few minutes when I awoke sud denly, finding that I had rolled over with my back to the blazing logs. But 1 was conscious even then that I was not alone, and, with the instinct of sus picion alight in mo, I slid my hand to the butt of my pistol and rolled over us though still asleep. I saw a man sitting on the opposite side of my fire with his hands looked round bis knees. Ho was staring into the embers with a furoif / look in his gleaming eyes. No more ut terly melancholy face hud over fronted mine. I watched for more than a min ute before he became conscious that I was awake. “I hop© I haven’t disturbed yon, part ner,” ho said apologetically, ‘‘hut it was chilly, and I hadn’t any matches, and I’m getting old, getting old. ” Ho murmured the last words to him- *elf. ‘‘That’s all right, sorny,” I an swered. "You’re welcome to so much. ” "I was going to borrow a lighted stick and make a fire for myself. I’ve ■scraped up some wood just yonder. ’ ’ "Bring it here, then,” said I. "One big fire is better than two small ones. ” And the old chap rose. He was long and thin and haggard, with the bowed shoulders of ancient and continued toil. He walked as though greatly fatigued. He came buck iu a minute with his arms full of sticks, and, putting some of them on tbe embers, he sat down again. I was wide awake now and got up "Don’t”— he began, but I stopped him. "My tongue’s rusty. I want to talk. You struck a bad streak of luck some time ago, old man, eh?” "I did, jiartner. I’m an accursed man.” Ah, then, he was mad. But that's not an odd thing in the United States’ standing army of tramps—not odd at all. Is it strange that toil and want and misery should drive some of those crazy who have not the strength to meet the bitter, newer order of civilization, who are crushed by competition and the good law that yields Beelzebub his tribute of laggards and weaklings. I heated up the tea again. He drank the warm infusion of this commercial herb, which knew not China or Ceylon, with great eagerness and thanked mo most humbly. I felt encouraged, for I was not so low down, and, suppressing my anxiety as to the morrow, I kindly bestowed upon him the remains of a sheep bone and a crust. There are many orders among outcasts. "You are a good sort,” he told me. I denied it savagely. "I’m nothing of the kind, old man. Don’t give me any such slush, or you can shift your camp. Good! Why, I’d like to cut the throats of some men. ’ ’ He shrank down us though I had struck him. "Don’t,” he said. "I felt that way myself once, but I repent.” "Did you do it?” "Do what, partner?” "Cut any man’s throat?” He shook his head and smiled wanly. "I think I did worse, partner. May I tell you? I like to tell it sometimes.” "Wait till I fill my pipe,” I answer ed. "Have you one?” Ho produced a clay and lighted It. "But perhaps you want to sleep?” I shook my head. "Fire away, sonny!” | But at first he could not talk. He be gan whittling a stick and muttered to jiimself. Perhaps he imagined that he speaking aloud, for when I did 1 ) V THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 14, 1867. catch vhat he was saying ho was in the middle of a sentence. "An-l so I took it over, paid for it and took it over with the mortgage on it, and I worked hard. It wasn’t much of a place then, but there was tho water to irrigate it I planted more oranges cud made a vineyard myself. I did it all, all, and God knows how I slaved and worked on it! All the men about tho country said I was a hard, hard man, but I didn't think I was. Per haps I made others work, hut didn’t I work myself? Hadn’t 1 worked in Iowa for $10 a mouth and in Oregon for $20 all those years before I went down south to San Diego and put my money into this fruit ranch? Of course I had. Oh, hut not so hard as I worked there when I worked for a place to bring my wife and child to from tho east, be cause I wanted them had, and she hadn’t been med to rough it, for she was daughter to a locomotive engineer in Minnesota, and her mother had a farm, the only one for miles without a mortgage on it. I’ve read of folks say-* iug bow’ lucky farmers are iu the United States because they mostly don’t pay rent. No, but they pay interest, as I know, as I know! ‘‘But, u» I was telling, I worked for five years on my ranch, and then things was iu shape. I seed the trees grow that I’d planted, and my heart was in it all, and every orange and every pear or grape was part of me. They was all my children. And perhaps, partner, you never owned no land. But even so you’ve traveled, and the big desire has come over you to settle down and put your feet deep in a bit of God’s broad, good earth, saying, ‘This is my little share, given me to make it fruitful, ’ for a man has, so to speak—and I’ve thought it out often—two wives, a woman and a hit of the earth. But when a man takes a hull couutry or half a state it ain’t according to my morality. It seems wicked, for there’s fine men with none, and their strength is naught. They have no children out of the earth. ’ ’ He dropped his pipe and stood up, and now f he seemed to forget me, speak-, iug to the ur and tho broad lands of that beautiful valley and the everlast ing hills. "But when five years was past and done I had the house in shape, and the trees were full of fruit aud the young orchards promicing, and then 1 sent for Carrie and the child. Ho I had my good wife aud the baby us was no baby now, hut a growing girl like a fine young tree. For them I worked harder, aud I was always level, if not mom Sometimes it was a real hit more, hut of course the interest of the mortgage wras heavy. Aud may the inventors of such be accursed, even as I am! '“For, though a nfau without leeches sucking his blood may abide a had sea son according to his strength and wait for the good return, which is God’s gift to them as con endure his chastisement, it is not so when he works one hour for himself and ten for a sucking spider in a web of law iu a city office. And a bad season come, and I was behind my bond with the spider, and on the added interest lie took k) more per cent. To each dollar added to his account he add ed more till no good season could straighten me out again, aud every bright day was heavy with clouds for me, and my best hope was dried up, like a tree dying with the scale. "And now after five more years the time came when my wife’s very keep, for she wasn’t as strong as some, and the two girls, for there was another, seemed too much. I thought perhaps if she went back east again I could hire a man or a boy and get straight again, and I sent her bock with money as I borrowed, $100 only, but they cost me $10 each year. "And I lived God know’s how, for I don’t, because the long days was a bad dream, I felt that lonely. I was sorry at times that I’d ever come cn land that the law called my own. But I hanker ed after it and the smell of it. Aud time and time again I dreamed it was all my own aud free of interest, and I woke up cryiug tears of joy in a joyless house that wasn’t mine. Aud the trees that seemed to know mo were my chil dren, and now when I walk I see the sun in the orange grove and smell tho smell of the white blossoms, mid my heart is sick with desire. But there aren’t any trees there now. "Perhaps there might have been if it hadn’t been that the old lawyer as lent the young lawyer money to lend to me on the land I’d made came up to take a look at the land as was mostly his. And that’s why I say I wanted once to cut a man’s throat, for when I showed him round and was civil to him und spoke him fair I could have caught him by his fat throat and got him down and choked him. for he’d never really worked, aud he was fat aud soft, with a heavy jowl, aud his father had been a railroad man with lots of money. And this man, he says to me, but yet more to himself, ‘If so be there was a good house built, it would be a lovely place. ’ And then he took a drink of wine and rode away in his buggy, going soft and comfortable. "I went back mad to prune vines aud scrape off scale and see to things just as if I was a hired man, with all the little profits leukiug omt and coming up in a spring iu a town office with a gang of uncivil boys in it, learning the devil’s work. "That night as I laid in bed Iknowed as well as if I’d heard him say it that if I was a dollar behind I’d be squeezed out even before the clause that gave ’em power to foreclose unless the hull principal was paid came in force, for they that drew the mortgage knew how to draw it, and I signed it like an inno cent, for the money I wanted was honey on a bear trap, and they had me tight. "And of course, as is the nature of things, once in so many years there came a bad season, frost and a big wind that nipped me aud drove me out like chaff. Aud I walked among my planted tri'es, and on the earth I’d turned over for years to give it tbe suu und air, and I was mad, for 1 heard the trees speak, • and the wind in the orange grove was like a voice. And I went in aud gave the hired man his money und told him to go quick. And he ran, for ho was afraid aud said things of me in town. But I was glad the wife uud the chil dren were away, because just then I read iu an eastern paper how a ruined man had killed his own wife and chil dren, and I knew well how it happened. "I feared to go for my letters because I was behind aud couldn't get up with these spiders. Aud so the notice of fore closure came. And that day I neither worked nor ate, but I sat iu the house thinkiug of the dead man iu New York that had killed his own. I wondered how it was in the dark working of things that such was allowed, and here was all my years of sober, heavy work going over to a man who sat aud cried out kindly that he would help them that wauted it, aud not be hard. And he gave money to churches and was praised in the San Diego paper that he owned shares in till his name was spo ken of In San Francisco, and some said he should be a seuator. "And the day passed, and it was noon, and then I went out aud saw the sun get behind the orange trees that I had seen grow, and it was very beauti ful. But my heart was dried up. 1 only felt like a man accursed, and a devil and a sinner not to be forgiven. And I took my ax and sharpened it till I could shave a big slice of horn off the palm of my hand, just ns the sun was like blood on the foothills west of me. And God’s light went wholly out of me. I took the ax into my orange grove, and I destroyed all the trees. Home I cut down aud some I barked, and the young olives I destroyed and what I could of the viucyard. For I worked all night by the light of the moon till the dawn came, but oven then I was not tired- no, nor did I feel I had done aught to tiro me. And when the dawn came up I fired my house and the stable I had built, and I took my horse out, which I had trained and broken, but was no longer mine. Aud I shot it there, yes, I shot it, and I watched its blood flow cu tho heavy dust, and I did not care one bit, nor was I sorry. "Thtnl put on my hat and walked up into the hills for fear folks should corns, for folks who had not harmed me I did not want to harm, though I did not love them any more than I loved then my wife and my girls iu the east. And I knew if I met a man and hud tho ax in my hand I should kill him. "And I walked for three days, so far as I know, without food, and when I came to myself I was far away. Then I knew I had done a most evil thing, a thing hated by God. For I saw what a small thing I was, and I knew that tho work of a man was for himself, aud I knew that no man can work for him self. I saw that the lawyer could not have kept what he took. He, too, must have died, but still my beautiful trees would have been fruitful. And I had killed them, and by doing that I hud destroyed a great part of myself. I bowed my head iu the dust, aud a great anguish come over me. "For if my orchards aud my vine yards aud my groves had still been fruitful I could have said to myself, ‘You have worked aud have been re warded if not aa you desired. ’ But now my life was barren, aud my labor wast ed, and no greater angnish can smite any man. All the years had gone down beyond tho sun, and in the night of my old r.ge I have no consolation, und I can work no more. Forever aud ever as I walk and tramp I see what I did, und if I could only undo it I would die hap py. But it cannot be done. It cannot be done. And I am an old man, an old, old man. I want to go home. ’ ’ His voice trailed off into a whisper, and he sat down and hugged his knees, staring Into my dying fire. Aud for a long time I did not speak. He was a very strange old man. But I gave him some tobacco, and he thanked me gently. I asked him if his w’ife were yet alive. But he said that he did not know.— Morley Roberts in Illustrated Loudou Newa Refused the Title Role. A point in theatrical law has been tried by the French courts. The man ager of a theater at Cannes engaged Mile. Rita d’Arzac to play soubrette aud ingenue parts. For the greater part of the season the young lady appeared nightly, to her own satisfaction und that of the house, as a sweetly innocent young thing or as a comely aud modest maid. It fell on a day, however, that another lady of the troop was taken ill aud had to he replaced. Her role was the principal one in the piece. It was offered to Mile. d’Arzac, •who, to the general astonishment, indignantly re fused it. Never before perhaps in the annals of tbe theater had an actress de clined to be promoted to the rank of leading lady. Of course Mile. d’Arzac had her reasons. The character she was asked to play was that of a lamentably flighty young person. Mile. d’Arzac was appalled at the thought of impersonat ing this incorrigible baggage and ended by flatly refusing the proffered part, whereupon her manager stopped her salary. She sued him for the same and won her case. Henceforth nobody will be able to say that the proprieties are not safeguarded iu France, and once more virtue, so often ill requited in real life, has met with its reward on tho stage.— Pall Mall Gazette. \ Precautions Against Yellow Fever. As precautionary measures against yellow fever South Americans usually recommend four things—avoidance of bananas, mangoes and other fruits, avoidance of whisky and other strong liquors, scant exposure to the night air and all the quinine pills you can swal low. ^yONDERFUL are the cures by Ww Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and yet they arc simple and natural, flood’s Sarsa parilla makes PURE BLOOD* Arctic Game. The rabbit supply is now re-enforced by hundreds of thousands of frozen rab bits from Australia, and the price of home bred rabbits has fallen in conse quence. In spite of tbe murderous de struction of subarctic game, tho regions from which it comes are so huge and the facilities for catching it, for freez ing it and transporting it by sledge so great that we may expect tho supply to be larger each year rather than less. It seems incredible, but it is true, that Russian game can be brought from St. Petersburg to Lcadcnhall market at a cheaper rate per ton than Surrey fowls can bo brought from Horsham to Lon don. The Transsibci ian railway will tap another enormous game area, and tho supply from tho two extremes—the tame pheasantries of England and tho uninhabited forests of the subarctic con tinent—will continue to stock our mar ket. Frozen pheasants and other game are regularly brought into London market from Poking.—Coruhill Maga zine. Lock* and Keys. There is nothing which more illus trates the progress of science and inven tion than the decrease in size, weight and mechanism of locks and keys since these instruments were first put in uso for the purpose of keeping out intrusive strangers. Years ago these mediums to secret chambers were made of wrought iron and were of ponderous size aud weight. The nineteenth century, how ever, has made wonderful improvements on these instruments. Nowadays a per son may carry a dozen keys in his pock et with ease that will open stronger aud more intricate locks than the grotesque specimens which prevailed in the days of our grandfathers.—Kansas City Star. Burled With Mis Mouey on Him. Not long ago a miserly person who bad been teased almost to death by his heirs endeavored to cheat them out of his money.

After dinner last Wednesday Mr. Willie Brown had to be away from home on busi ness, leaving his wife and children In the best of health, not suspecting that before another meal one of their brigiit little boys would he pale in death. But about tliree o’clock the same afternoon little Frank, nearly three years old, went upon the cot ton pile to piny and it is supposed tumbled head down into a hole that had previously been made by some of (he other children. When he was found he was past resuscitation. Mrs. Brown had been busy’ at work. After a little while she con cluded that he had gone to sleep and began to look around for him and soon saw his feet protruding from the cotton und hastily pulling him out made the awful discovery that her loved one was dead. She hastily sent for her husband and scon many of the neighbors had gathered at the Brown homestead to see and learn for themselves the deplorable acci dent. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are. al most heart broken on account of so unexpected an event and our whole community is filled with sorrow and deeply sympathize with them in their sad bereavement. A short funeral service was held at Goucher church last Thursday afternoon at two o’clock and little Erank’s re mains were lowered and burled in the cold cold ground where they will remain until the resureciion morn, when I trust they will be united with his father, mother and brothers and all enter the New Terusalen in Chris tian triumph.
