McLemore Bios,
J’ULLIIEAI) PARKER.
When George Parker made hiH lirst
appearance on tho football field at
Clfcvedon college, about two weeks aft
er tho term began, ho camo unheralded
and unknown.
Tho football enthusiasts hud been
busy tor days discussing tho merits and
qualifications of the various new men
who had come up for the first time that
year and wero trying for positions on
tho team. Good football material was
scarce at Clcvedou, and the captain and
tho com h wero at their wits' end to
construct a winning team with tho can
didates who had thus far appeared. Tho
very day that Parker made his initial
appearance they had held a short
council in the directors’ office at tho
gymnasium before goingontho field for
the aftoruoou practice, and tho outlook,
as they viewed It at tho time, was
gloomy indeed.
Candidates for positions behind tho
lino were many, and some of them gave
promise of developing Into good players,
but the linemen, especially the tackles,
1 ft much to Lo desired at tho close of
their conversation.
Shaw, tho coach, expressed himself
very forcibly as to the qualifications of
at least one of the players: “I tell you,
Arnold, wo must get sumo life into tiiat
lino or tho best backs in the world
won’t win games for us. Now, thora’*
Brice at left tackle. He’s big and strong
enough to stop a froight train, bat ho
plays us though he wero dead on his
feet If wo only had some man to go in
against him on the scrub cloven and
wake him up and givo him a hit of a
scare, ho might amount to something,
but as it is he’s about as lively as an
loo wagon. ”
AM this was too obvious to elicit
anything more than a very gloomy ac-
quiesconco from the captain, and the two
men tramped out through tho gym
nasium to the practice held, and hero
they found Parker for tho first time
among the crowd of youths passing and
kicking tho ball. Ho was of medium
height, rather light but firmly built,
resembling the other young men around
him in genera! appearance, except for a
rather unusual squareness of tho jaw
and leveinesH of gazo.
Ho came toClevedou from an obscure
little academy in a distant state, where
bo had prepared for college. Tho cap
tain of the scrub eleven had noticed him
In chapel in tho morning and afterward
bad hunted him out. and, having learn
ed by dint of hard questioning that he
Lad played football and at least knew
tho rudiments of tho game, had asked
him lo come out to tho field in tho aft-
ernocn and have a try at tho second
eleven
Tho second or scrub eleven, lie it
known, is composed of tho candidates
who are denied a place on the varsity
and who yet for the sake of the sport
and m ilie hope that cue day promotion
muv find them out are willing to work
on without glory or reward unless they
find them in lliu hard practice game
played daily with tho varsity. From
the ranks of the scrubs come tho substi
tutes for tho varsity, and a good player
in tho former may well dare hope to ho
chosen on tho varsity the next year. It
is, as ono may see, a sort of apprentice
ship or training school through which
ono must pass beforu ho roaches tho
varsity
It had been the bane of tho scrub cap
tain's life hitherto that he had not been
able to find a man in his miscellaneous
let who was able to play a hard enough
game against Brice, the varsity lolt
tackle, either to cause that gentleman
any particular inconvenience or to satis
fy tho demands of fcshaw. They had all
made tho mistake of “bucking” straight
into him, and being inferior in weight
and musclo to Brice, who was a giant
in size, if not in intellect, the result
may ho imagined.
Thus it happened that in sheer des
peration Barker was chosen on this his
lirst night out to go in against Brice,
and, if possible, frighten him into im
proving bis playing
As the two men looked each othtt
over lor a moment befoyo tho hall was
put m play Brico thought to himself,
rather contemptuously, that ho would
have no trouble with this stripling, but
after Baikerhad broken through two or
three times on plays around his end
and downed the man with tho hall he
began to realize that ho had a veiy un
usual sort of scrub to deal with, aud
that it would require something very
youth and Interesting beyond any wom
an X ever saw. Elio has no especial no-
complLhujeutH, only that knack of in
teresting every man, woman or child
upon whom she cares to spend her timo.
Hholik ’S married men. Sho says it is
I,transit they can't take it into their
heads to marry her, and I believe her
when she says it, fur she lias i(fused
every man who ever old aspire to such
a tiling, and I don’t doubt that they are
kg ion I say all this of her h nicslly,
u .d yet I don't like her, even though I
liko lu r company. I like young girls
who arc not so smart, who conlido in
me and tell me I am tho dearest little
woman on can!), girls like Mae, Alice
and Carroll.
My management is always perfect
Therefore we had just tho people I want
ed and just the charming littlo country
place. (Charlie hi lp<Hl with tho rent.)
Charlie was Indeed quite superior to
what I had expected of him. They con
sidered his loud way of laughing so
realistic. His ruddy features wero a
pleasant change from tho other young
tnou. Ho was just bashful enough to
give him an individuality. That is, ho
could talk well enough to the entire lot
of ladies, but with ono alone ho was
tongue tied, and ho would rather that
Alfred turned Mae’* music for her.
Before two weeks passed Mao said to
me, “I think young men from the west
are fur more interesting than those ono
moots here.” In tho excess of my joy I
put both bauds on her shoulders and
looked right into" her eyes. “Do you
really mean that, dear?” and she pushed
•no away in a playfully vexed manner,
but admitted that of course sho did.
My path was clear. 1 must help that
inexperienced youth to draw in tho
prize bo had hooked. It was two days
before I got a chance to do it. I noticed
in tho meantime that in his bashfulness
ho dared not attach himself to any of
tho ladies except Constance. This had
escaped my attention before, but sho
could no doubt draw out tho best there
was in him and surely sho was very
patient with him, allowing him to
usurp Alfred on several occasions,
which 1 felt to be self denial on her
part.
“Are you going to drive to tho vil
lage with Constance?” I hailed that
worthy on his way to the stables.
“Guess not,” ho replied shortly.
“She aud Charlie aro going on their
wheels. He's gone in now to put on his
suit.”
Up (o Charlie's room I rushed, catch
ing sight of his coattails us I turned the
stairs. Calling him to wait a moment
1 hurried into his room before^ ho had
time to repress mo.
“There, now, I have never a chance
to see you a moment unless I scheme
for it. I want to talk to you. You don’t
want to change your suit anyway. 1’vo
something better on hand for you this
evening than cycling with Miss Mer
rick. ”
“Couldn’t possibly have anything
better, coz, ” he said, diving into tho
closi t and bringing out his suit.
“Yes I have too. Now put those
things down and don’t hurry me.”
“But MissMcrirck will ho waiting.”
“Oh, no. Constance won’t care, bho
would much rather ride with Alfred,
and I have something lovely to tell you
about Mae.”
“Bother Mao! What do I want to
know about lior?”
“Why, Charlie, 1 am surprised at
you.”
“I don’t know why you should be,
when I have an engagement with an
other young lady. I don’t care any
thing about Maw, anyway.”
“You don’t?”
“Cnrtainly not if tb«r« it a thauce
for tptudiug an hour with Ml** Mer
rick,” and Charlie actually kicked off
his rhots and went into the closet again
after his tans.
“Cousin Charles, ” I said in alurm,
“what do you mean? Constance Merrick
is older than I am, a good ten years
older than you.”
Charlie dropped his shoos. “This is
tho first time I ever heard you alludo
to your age in such a way. Mato, I
supposed you wero about two years
younger than myself.”
“You are making fun, of course. She
is, though.”
“If she were ono of Noah’s daugh
ters, I must still say I prefer a bicycle
ride in her company to anything that
you may hatch up for this evening, and
you n ally must excuse me whilo I get
readj’. ’ ’
“I will not go one step until you tell
me. Are yon in love with Constance
Merrick?” He bent down and tied his
shoestring and looked up with blushes
enough for a girl and said gently:
“Don’t ask so many questions, Mat-
tic.” And then he went into tho closet
aud shut the door. I knew if I didn’t
want him to smother in there I must
givo up and go down stairs again.
Late tlint night I took Alfred to task
in words full of meaning: “Why
haven’t you kept Constance out of Char
lie’s way? The young greenhorn is in
lovo with her.”
“Good enough. Suppose it'll make a
match?” I cannot hear Alfred when he
talks like that.
“As if Constance would marry the
king aud all his courtiers!”
“I should hope not, ” said that pro
voking man, “though I doubt not sho
sings better in a chorus choir than a
duet. ”
There is nothing to do with such a
stupid man hut let him go to sleep, hut
in tho morning my mind was made up.
I would send for Laurauce Bad more. It
was the only way out of tho difliculty.
Mr. Hadiiiore was tho one man that it
was thought possible Constance might
marry. The two wero just made for
each other. Every ono realized it. Ho
was the grandest looking man I over
saw, although his features were posi
tively ugly, with that great ttomnu
nose and sharp gray eyes. It was his
shoulders aud tho way he carried his
head that made you think ho was some
great personage, aud when you listened
to him talk you knew at once that his
was a greater intellect than any other
in tho assembly, no mutter of whom it
was composed. Mr. Badmoro and Con-
t stance had a profound admiration for
1 each other and never willingly missed
an opportunity to enjoy each other’s
company. I knew ho v.'onld accept my
I invitation, and when ho did so 1 felt a
! littlo touch of conscience. A person of
i my sagacity would hardly bo expected
to invito a man liko Mr. Budmoru into
, u company of girls liko Mae, Alice and
i Carroll. Indeed I did not know what
! excuse I should make to their maumii)*,
! but in spite of tho pant record of Lun-
ruu ju Bad more, somethiug must bo done
: to save Charlie from his pending fate,
i Constance, of course, was above ro-
! prouch, no matter whose record was in
I question.
The morning that Mr. Rudmnre ar
rived Charlie aud Constance had gone
| over to a neighboring sheep farm to get
a pot lamb for her. It seemed to mo
that sho might have found Charliu lamb
! enough, if her tiu-to was for !>et* of that
sort, bho looked very witching with
tho whilo littlo Idt of a thing cuddled
in her arms against u trim black gown
| and tho auuushiuo on her yellow hair.
To bear her laugh you would not have
believed that sho could not sing a uoto
or that she was an hour over 20. Mr.
Badmoro was u surprise to bur, and sho
gave me a look that said very plainly,
“Oh, 1 understand I” But she deter-
mined to keep Charliu ut beck aud cull.
Yet even for tho pleasure of spiting mo
she could not keep to her resolution and
devote her rime to him. The fascina
tion Mr. Hadmoro possessed for hor was
too great, aud ho hud not been there
two days till I saw with delight that
Charlie was left to his own devices.
Tho dear boy was not very good na-
tured over it. Ho suspected my maneu
ver and at ouco turned to Alfred for
sympathy. I suppose they hud u mutual
cause against Mr. Badmoro, aud for that
reason they wero drawn toward each
elbsr. At any rate, Charlie refrained
from giving mo any oouildeucos. Conse
quently much that I relate from this
on is gathered from Alfred’s observa
tion and subsequent confidences. Alfred
is not ono of those perfect husbands
that for the most part belong to widows;
but, thank fortuuo, ho will sooner or
later tell his wife all mutters of inter
est that como to his knowledge.
Constance and Mr. Badmoro glided
easily into their familiar relations, aud
Charlie showed all his early bringing up
by becoming at ouco the most uninter
esting of farmers. Laurauce Badmore
used to look at him with those quizzical
gray eyes and sniilo knowingly. One
day ho said to Constance, “It’s a pity
that country boy bus fallen in love
with you.”
“Indeed you compliment me, but
your surmise is not correct. ”
Then Mr. Badmore assumed bis ju
dicial air and said, “You would not try
to tell me that you are not cognizant of
an affair of this nature, with all your
experience?”
“Tho boy has been too bashful to pay
attention to any ono else, and I have
helped him cut. I have not done a bit
of mischief. I may have bothered Mae
a little, as she wants to marry him to
cue or the other of the girls.”
“And you have made that an impos
sibility for him.”
“Well, no, though I fancy ho is not
in Jovo with either of them.”
“Which hi would bo had you allow
ed him. “
“Mr. Badmoro, you ure exasperat
ing.”
“No. I am exasperated. ”
“By me?”
“Thou sayest it. Tho boy has the
making of a fine fellow, but his expe
rience with you will ruin him.”
“Nonsense. The little attention 1
have shown him will givo him an in
sight into woman’s ways, and it will Le
easier for him to succeed when he really
falls in love.”
“He will not fall in love again.”
“Bash statement. Ho is but 22.”
“Mon never love but ouco.”
“Y’ou aro iueroasiug in rashness.
‘Who most has loved the best can love
again.’ ”
“That applies only to women. A
woman’s first love alfair paves tho way
for all others. Its only value to her is
by way of experience and to sentimen-
tailed over, like her first ball.”
“You dare assart that men have but
one love?”
“Only one in which they take the
leading role. In all others the woman
lead*. That is, they do the loving, aud
men delight in the flattery of being
loved. That’s why men marry.”
“Do they never marry for love?”
“The instances are rare. Every story
turns out that way, hut in real life it
takes a detective to find such a caso. ”
“And the result when they do?”
“You must draw on your most rose
colored imagination.”
“You intend I should accept this as
your caudid observation?”
“Asthc truth itself. Ispeakasaman
who knows, and 1 respect your intellect
too highly to try to deceive you.”
“Well,” she said, rising, with a
pretty gesture of conviction, “I believe
I’ll marry Charlie, and then I’ll know
as much about it as you do. ”
Ho was on hLfeet as if aided by elec
tricity. “No, you will not,” and then
he qualified his statement, “because in
ten years you will have outgrown him.
Ho is still in infancy, while you are 32
years old.”
“Do you know,” she smiled sweetly,
“that my mother is (57 years old aud a
few weeks ago an insurance agent want
ed to write her a policy at 42?”
“And you expect to discount your
age 25 y< urs likewise?”
“Not just yet, but I never mean to
be any older than 1 wish, aud a love
such as you have hinted at ought to
prove an elixir of youth.”
Sho married Cburlio before the win
ter season commenced, aud I have the
titter certainty that Constance Merrick
will get to spend all that money with
out availing herself in the slightest of
my management. As to Mae, Charlie
says if he aud his wife want music they
cun enjoy it at tho Grand Opera. Well,
of course they can afford it.—E. D.

A GLIMPSE AT NUBIA.
THE NATIVES’ REMARKABLE POWER
OF ENDURING PAIN.
A Horrible FToKt'Intf Match by Whlefc
a Drlffe la Won—How* the Oatrlcb i»
nnntctl—Purntilnif the I-Jlephaut oa
Foot—The CbuHe of the Gn/cllea.
Thppowt.ro/ enduring pain exhibited
ty thu Nubian.s is ahnont incredible.
Tliis id strongly instanced in the com
petition by the youths of the TillafM
for the championship of their camp*.
It is a much coveted honor to be call
ed “Akho Benat” (the brother of tho
girls), and the youth who attains this
distinction is entitled to marry the
belle.
The competition itself is a most ago
nizing spectacle. It commences by the
maidens on certain festivals beating the
drnms fo a quaint and peculiar tune,
whjch so excites the spirits of the young
men that numbers of them at*once rush
into tho arena, each loudly exclaiming:
“I am the brother of the girls I I am
the brother of the girls!”
They are then paired off by casting
lots, and when stripped to the waist a
powerful, flexible whip of hippopotamus
hide five feet in length is placed in tho
aand of each combatant, and at a cer
tain signal a flogging match commences.
The strokes are not given at random
or in haste, but with tiie utmost delib
eration, each youth delivering his blow
in turn and keeping time to tho music.
The long, pliant lash descends with
keen precision, cutting deep into tho
flesh at every stroke, while the monot
onous “hwit,” “hwit,” “hwit, ” goes
on unceasingly and the red streams tell
the tale of suffering which the tongues
disdain to proclaim. At hist the one
who can endure no longer falls fainting
to the ground and is borne away by his
kinsmen.
The victors aro subsequently pitted
against each other till the remaining
one becomes the champion and bears
the proud title of “the Brother of tho
Girls.”
Ostrich hunting involves good rid
ing and is animated sport. Having as
certained where a nest is to be found,
three or four mounted men go out on
tho plain together, and ono of them
rides in tho direction of the nest.
Instantly the bird sees him it starts
off at a tremendous pace, the hunter
following in hot pursuit, until, after
ranning perhaps a couple of miles, tho
ostrich begins to circle, its object being
to get back to its nest, from which it
fondly hopes it has diverted its pursuer.
The other hunters, who are scattered
over the plain, take up the running by
turns, succeeding each other as each
horso becomes spent. They aro thus
able to press the bird to its utmost
speed, until it falls exhausted on tho
ground with outstretched wings, gasp
ing for breath.
The nearest hanter then gallops up
aud severs its head with a blow from
his sword Hastily dismounting, he at
once solxes tho bleeding stump and
thrusts it into thu sand to prevent the
feathers from being soiled by tho blood,
which is npurting in all directions from
the convulsive movements of the neck,
even after death.
The feathers of a full grown bird
fetch from *50 to *75 (£10 to £15) ut
Kassala, where they are bought by Arab
traders from Cairo, but they ultimately
realize treble that value in the Euro
pean markets.
When the elephant is pursued on
foot, it is invariably sought in the
depths of the forest, where it has retired
for shelter from the noonday sun and
also for the short rejiose it takes during
the 24 hours. Tho hunter, having
tracked his quarry to its retreat, is
obliged to use the utmost stealth in ap
proaching it, the elephant being a very
light sleeper and awakened by the
slightest unusual soupd.
The difliculty of moving through a
dense thorny jungle without making
any sound dissimilar to those which
might l>o produced by nature, such a*
the stirring of the branches by a light
breeze or the occasional falling of a
dead leaf, is greater than can be realiz
ed by any one who has not tried it.
On getting within arm’s length of his
game the swordsman slowly raises him
self to an erect {Kisition and deals a
slashing cut on the back sinews of the
nearest foot, about ten inches from the
ground, at the same time leaping nim
bly back to avoid a blow from the ani
mal's trunk. The cut if properly deliv
ered bites sheer to tho Ik me, severing
the largo arteries, and in a short time
death ensues from hemorrhage.
Gazelles are hunted by a powerful
breed of hounds in build somewhat
heavier than a greyhound. In spite of
being far swifter than the hound the
gazcdle falls a victim from a nervous
habit of constantly stopping to look
back to see if it is pursued. It also ex
pends its strength by taking groat
iMiunds in an almost vertical direction,
thereby not only losing time, but ex
hausting itself, so that it is overtaken
without difficulty.—“A Glimpse at Nu
bia,” by Captain T. C. S. Speedy in
Harper’s Magazine.

A college woman not long ago called
