TOM BURLESON'S LOVE
AFFAIR,
New York Ledger.]
“No, sir; there's no use talk
ing about it—the thing can’t be;”
and Colonel Austin resumed his
whittling and his cotton roll, fol
lowing the finger of his Overseer
Lusk, who was pointing out the
number of bales grown in the
Lobos bottom.
“First-rate, Lusk ; what are the
off-setß ?”
“Hercules Ins a quill in his
back, but one of big Wallace’s
men dressed the wound. I
thought you would like to see it,
perhaps.’’
“Yes, if you are ready, saddle
up.”
When the colonel turned he
saw Tom Burleson still leaning
against tlie open door.
“What in thunder, Tom 1 did I
not tell you to go?”
“Well, Colonel. I like to be
overhead in every thing and I
just staid to tell you that I shan’t
mind what you have'said, unless
Miss Mollie talks in the same
way. Good morning, sir.”
And before Colonel Austin
could say a word in reply the
young fellow had flung himself
on his horse and was beyond
hearing it.
“Number One rider,” said Lus
ky. coolly.
The colonel changed the con
versation. Evidently Tom Bur
leßon was not a pleasant topic ;
Hercules and the Indian dog
wood arrows were better.
In the meantime Tom, having
ridden furiously in one direction
fora mile, turned, and just as fu
riously retraced his steps. Of
course, this brought him back to
the Austin homestead, and this
lime he stopped at the quarters
and spoke to a cheery-looking
old negro woman shredding veg
etable at her cabin door.
“Morning, Hannah. Tell
Psyche I want her.”
“Lor’, Mass’r Tom! Psyche
done went to Austin ’fore sun up.
De colonel he’s gwirie to hab a
dinner party to-morrow an’ Miss
Mollie she wanted some fixings.”
‘•Then you go and ask Mis&
Mollie if slie can see me now.”
•‘Lor’! Who eber liearn tell
sicb lik ? You tink Miss Mollie
git up w'id •! chickens I Site neb
er seed nine o'clock of tie morn
ing— wouldn’t know de hour el
site did see It.”
“(Jo, Hem.ah, and t'll give you
a dollar.”
In a few minutes Hannah re
turned.
“Yoit’s* got to be In de garden
’morrow night at eight o’clock,
Mas’r Tom.” , I
Bui lovers do not have a mo
nopoly of planning, and Colonel
Austin had also taken hie dinner
parly into consideration.
‘•lf Mollie wants to see Tom,'*
he thought, “she can manage tl
to morrow night. I reckon I’ll
have a talk with her first liaad.”
Su that very night after their
tete-a-le(e supper, he said :
“Tom Burleson and I came
Dielty nigh having a fight this
morning, Mollie.”
“What nonsense, pa! I should
as soon expect you to fight tne.”
“Not at al!. Thpre
considerable of a difference. You
are my own child, and a very
nice little girl at that, and
Tom is—”
“The son of a man who shared
your mess and dungeon in Mex*
co.”
“no use in raking up old per
alities, Mollie. I like Tom well
enough, bul I don’t care about
him for a son-in-law.”
“Well, pa, 1 shall have to live
with my husband—you need not,
unless you iike—don’t you think
I am the -the one to be pleased ?”
“That’* lair, Mollie, but you are
a sensib’s girl, I know. Now
didn’t yt-u have a nice time last
spring in New Orleans ?”
“Lovely, pa.’’
“Wehb what is to hinder you
from going about a bit before Vou
set lie on a husband ? Take all
Italy for your pleasure-garden,
and Paris for your ball-room, if
you like—l’ll pay lor it. But this
Tom Burleson has nothing but
bis rifle, and .his horse, and a few
thousand dollars. Don’t you
think now that is kind of impru
dent in a young man of that kind
asking me for my daughter and
my property ?”
’‘l’om only wants me, papa. He
is going to buy a ranch on the
Chacon ; lie does not care about
money.”
“Confound these don’t-care
fellews. He would put a girl
like you down on tiie frontier,
where the liie is hardly fit for a
civilized man. Calls it love, does
he? I call it selfishness.’’
Mollie was thinking of Paris—
she forgot this time to defend her
lover.
“And then, Mollie, I should
like you to marry an Italian
prince, or an English earl, or
someone of that kind. You have
money enough and beauty enough
for any of them gentry.”
There the colonel left the sub
ject, but he was not dissatisfied;
the woman who listens once will
listen twice. And Mollie Austin
was no wonder of womankind in
any one’s opinion but her fai lier’s
and her lover’s. She had large,
soft, dreamy eyes, a tall, swaying
figure, and she dressed bewitch
ingly. She danced with greal
grace, could use a fan like a
Spanish belle, and iiad read all
the sentimental poetry of the age.
But her education and surround
ings had failed to awaken in any
degree the deepest and best part
of her womanly nature.
But Tom was passionately in
love w itli her, and he was a brave,
manly fellow, who always rose to
the occasion, whether it was
fighting or love making. Mollie
might hereafter have princes and
earls “come seeking her love,”
but no one would ever woo her
with such honest truth and pas
sion as >his plain Texas gentle
man, who had only an uncertain
tenure of an estate on the head
waters of the Chacon.
He was too much in earnest to
talk sentiment. He said dread
fully plain, matter-of-fact things,
and ardently pressed Mollie for
plain, unequivocal answers.
“Did she love him ?” She must
say “Yes,” or “No.” And lot.king
Into liis handsome, eager face
she could not choose but loyo
him; and she said : “Yes.”
“Would she marry him, and
none other but him?”
He looked now so rnuoh hand
somer, and so much more in
earnest, that she said still more
frankly: “Yes.”
•‘Then, Mollie, 1 shall come
back lor you nexl spring. 1 will
have a pretty Hide home ready
.by (hat time, for I have a few
thousand dollars, darling. You
shall want for no comfort, Mollie.”
But tills waa a step Mollie could
not contemplate She would not
go on the homier at all. “Could |
not Tom go to his uncle in New
Orleans ? She would a great deal
rather he went into business.”
Torn said “lie haled business,
and lie hated cities.”
Mollie said “she haled farming
and she haled prairies.”
Then Tom saw that the self
denial must be his share.
‘Very well, Mollie. I'll give
up the life that is so pleasant to
me, and for your suke I’ll go to
New Orleans. When may I corns
for you
‘O, dear Tom, how can I tell?
Pa won’t object when he sees you
in a good business, and i can’i
marry until pa is willing."
And though her lover looked
like Antinous ami pleaded like
Apollos, that was all he could
gain. Beauty was lo trust Love
when Love could give good mar
ketable securities.
People do many rash things at

How He Lost hie Free Pass.
Some tune agd Judge Q., of
Nashyille, was pressing a suit be
fore a Stewart county jury
aguinst the railroad in an action
for damages for killing Ins cli
ent’s cow. “Wlmt is that thing,
gentlemen of the jury, whut is
the iinmo of that instrument of
death fa-tened on in front of the
engine?” asked the judge, with
well-feigned ignorance. “It’s the
cow-catcher,” replied one of the
jurors. “Ah! I thought so,” con
tinued Judge Q.; “I thought so.
And yet Judge Lurton, with
more cheek than any young man
I ever knew, tells you that the
railroads do not intend to destroy
your slock, even while they car
ry a cow-caichcr, put there lo
run your cows down and catch
’em and kill ’em, as the name ot
the fearful engine of destruction
implies—even while the roads
fasten this cow-catcher on in
faont ol the train—yes, gentle
men, it is fastened on to chase
your cows around and catch the
poor things and crush the very
fife ou of them.”
The judge got Id's eeyenly-five
dollar verdict for a fifteen dollar
cow ; and what’s more, he got h>s
free pass “luck up” on the way
home, and has been paying the
usual per mile-em ever since. -

“Sister,” said a little boy, rush
ing into the parlor, where she
was entertaining young Mr.
Smith, “will you come into the
hall a minute? I want to speak
to you.”
“I cannot now, dear. Don’t
you see that I am engaged with
Mr. Smith? What is it you want?”
“Jimmy White is out in the
hall, and he says he won’t believe
it unless you tell him yourself.”
“What is it that Jimmie White
won’t believe, dear?” asked the
sister, sweetly.
“That you ate thirty-five pan
cakes this morning for breakfast.”

She Knew His Mean Ways.
“Talk about stingy men,” said
the conductor of i Pullman car,
as ho sat iji the smoking room
while Lite porter was doing the
work, “the worst specimen ] ever
saw came out of Detroit the other
night, ilia wife, a great fat wo
man, was with him, and they
took seats in the ordinary ooacht
Pretty soon he came back, select
ed a berth—a single upper—and
then went back to his wife.
Pretty toon he returned and
went to bed alone. About an
hour after this I was going
through tbs train when the fat
woman slopped me and wanted
to know if I had any empty
berths. I told her there were
plenty of them, when she brought
iter lips together like a vise and
clinched her fat hands as she saidi
‘1 thought as much. Here, take
my bag with you, and make me
up the best section you have. I’ll
bo back again,’ Yon see that
selfish husband of hers had told
her there wasn’t an empty berth
left, but he had found a chance
lo share a bunk with au acquain
tance He was the maddest man
you over saw next morning, when
he had to hand overss for her
night’s rest, in addition to the
$2 .50 lie paid lor his own. He
gave the porter only two cents
lor shining his shoes, and
scowled bo the porter didn’t dare
kick for more. Oh, bul he waa a
tougli one.”
A Fine Paper.
The boy had just brought some
papers to the editorial room fresh
trom the press and the foroe were
engaged in coraoientiug on the
issue.
“Good pnper to-day, gentle
men,” remarked the editor. “The
leader of mine, if I am not yery
much mistaken, will cause a sen
sation among—”
“It is a good paper,” broke in
the funny man, who had been
ooking over his column for typo
graphical errors. “I haven’t very
much matter in, but, if 1 do say
it myself, every line of it is
bright, eveu for me, aud will be
copied far and—”
“A good deal ol local matter is
cut out,” interrupted the city ed
itor, “but what there is is first
class news. That fight I know
will be published exclusively by
us, and 1 think the runaway ac
cident— ’’
“Well, gentlemen,” said the
proprietor of the establishment,
entering the room,“fine paper to
day. There is not much in it but
advertisements, but that’s what
pays.”

“What is the charge against this
man?” asked an Arkansas Judge
us the prisoner was placed before
him.
Killing an editor, your Honor?”
“U’m, was the editor a resi
dent of the Stale ?”
“Yes, your Honor.”
“What have you lo say, prison
er, concerning this very serious
charge ? Are you guilty or not
guilty ?”
“Guilty,your Honor; I murder
ed him in cold-blood.”
“Well,” said the Judge, “there
is nothing left for me to do but
sentence you. The crime of mur
der is becoming much 100 com
mon. You are charged with
killing an Arkansas editor, to
which charge you plead guilty?'’
“Yes, yonr Honor, I do; and I
don’t care if it costs me $50.”
“Prisoner,” responded the
Judge, solemnly, “you are fined
S2OO and stand committed until
the amount is paid.”
The prisoner then swooned
away.
“James, my 6on, take this letter
to the postofflee and pay the post>
age for it.” The boy James re
turned highly elated and said:
“Father, I seed a lot of men put
ting letters in a little place, and
when no one was looking 1 slipped
yours iu lor nothing.”
