THE STRANGER.

i '* ’Taint the way an honest man 'uld
act, nohow,” said old “Dad” Tangle,
with a decisive shake of bis unkept
bead. “There in that old shinty he’s
lived fer three weeks now, and, burrin’
when lie’s bought grub here in the
store, nary word hez he said to me
since the night he come.”
“Nor me.”
“Ner me.”
Then a speculative silence fell on the
(moke-enveloped group around the
stove.
“Like ez. not,’’ continued the old
man bp tween bis puffs, “wc’ro a-har
borin’ a runaway erim’mil from the
East, or a liossthief.”
“lie don’t look ’zactlv like a
erim’nal,” spoke out ft prominent
citizen, known as Pizzlelop. “We
didn't s’picion nothin’ when he drove
up in that big wagon o’ his'n and
asked if there was a cabin be could
rent.”
“Thai’s jes’ it,” interrupted Dad
with emphasis. “ ‘l’earaneos is de¬
ceiving. Would a m in shut hisself
up alone-in-doors all day if In* wasn’t
a sharp or sump’in’? Would a man
live three weeks in tlx’ town without
minglin’ with the boys cr inwitin'
'em up to his place, if he knew tlicr
wur’nt nothin' agin him?”
These unanswerable arguments had
hardly been unburdened, when there
l ame a gentle knock at the door, nnd,
a moment Inter, the subject of the con¬
verse ion stood within tin room.
Ho was a man of perhaps ;’,5, tall
and slight, with skin of effeminate
whiteness, ami deep-set eyes which re¬
flected the quiet earnestness of nn uii
usually thoughtful and sensitive mind.
An intensely black, drooping inus
tactic scorned rather to assist in the
prevailing tone of sadness in the face.
With an easy self-posse sion, the
newcomer removed liis hat, an act evi¬
dently of natural and mtconscious
courtesy, and, with a slight inclina¬
tion of the head, which seemed to in¬
clude all in the loom, he greeted the
loungers with a low-spoken “good
evening.”
There was a long, awkward pause.
A bright spi t flashed into each of his
pale checks as his greeting passed uu
mis we ed, hut he sti 1 retained liis
t.o,-,.«»h s«ir-|io<n»Maii. ltoplacilig
In, 1„» with ,t form motion ami keep
nig his eyes unflinchingly on the
crowd, he proceeded to explain calmly
"bat he wanted. Ilis horse bad died
the day before in tbe shed at the cabin.
If some one could bo gotten to remove
the body he would bo wed paid lor the
trouble.
It required n strong prejudice to
out-balance an offer of (his kind, but
popular feeling seemed to be decidedly
against the Stranger, and, in Saddle
town. popular feeling was very likely
to prevail.
Finally one of the men removed a
corn-cob p pe for a sufficient length of
time to drawl out, with mock gravity ;
“Reckon you'll have ter git rid o’
the hoss meat yorself, mister. None
>' the boys seem to cotton to the j d>. ’
This speech was hailed with a round
of guffaws from the Saddletown citi¬
zens. and before tho^e bad died away.
•lie Stranger with a slight bow. had
di'ftppearod as quietly as he had come.
Perhaps it was the laugh that had so
mollifying an effect on the assemblage.
Perhaps it was the ever-increasing to¬
bacco fames that soothed it into better
mood Be that as it may, there eer
•ninly was a reaction in favor of the
Stranger after his departure.
The "e<t, rn miner of a dozen years
ago was a c urious mixture of good
and evil, swayed by the slightest of
impulses, nnd. perhaps, only this can
account for tie flood of good feeling
• which rolled into Dad Tangle's little
*hop as the evening progressed.
Fizzletop declared, with more good
humor than respect, that “the old
Ixxne-bag seemed gamey,” and even
Dad himself allowed that “he might¬
n’t bo so bud arter all.” This was the

slate affairs had reached when one of
the boys suggested, with a laugh, that
they shonld go over and “eart the old
hoss away before morning.”
1 he idea had been offered as a joke,
and yet, fifteen minutes later the
rrow d was v struggling through the
moonlight towaid tl»e Stranger’s
cabin.
It was decided that Fizzle top’s team
shonld he used.as his shanty was near¬
ost that of the -Stranger’s, and the boys
hail almost reached the old shed, when
suddenly there was a quick exclama¬
tion from ! izzletop, a clatter of
horses hoofs, the sharp crack,crack of
derringer, and in another moment
some of the parly were chasing a
riderless horse, while the others bent
over a motionless figure in tlie road.
The figure was that of the Stranger.
The horse was Fizzle op’s.
I he change from good humor to in¬
dignation was extreme. Even before
the unconscious man was pronounced
still alive several were making toward
the shed in search of a rope. The re
portof Fizzletop’s pistol had quickly
attracted a number of spectators, and
Dad Tangle was expounding on the
keenness of his perception of character,
and bis ability in particular to detect
a horse-thief “at first squint.”
Strange to say, Fizzletop seemed to
take the ati-rir more calmly than the
other s. “Give the man a chance,” he
said, as the rope was brought up,
ready noosed, “lie can’t escape. Let’s
carry him over to his cabin and give
him a trial.”
\fter a good deal of grumbling at
“puttin’ the thing off,” this was finally
agreed to, but Dad insisted on taking
the rope along so that it would be on
hand when wanted.
It was only a few steps to the
Stranger’s cabin, and when Fizzletop’s
horse had been returned to the shed,
there the still unconscious mau was
borne.
Alter forcing open the do r and de¬
positing the limp figure in the already
lighted room, the men proceeded to
examine carefully the interior, and
many were the expressions of surprise
til the sin Ives of books, the great
lamp, and the general air of neatness.
But the supreme sense of Saddletown
justice was not to be shaken by mere
sentimentality.
Dad Tangle bad just delivered him¬
self ol the opinion that as the Stranger
had been seen making oft' with the
ho; so no trial was needed when one of
the men suddenly interrupted him
with:
“Hello! what’s this?” )
In a moment the crowd was clus¬
tered spellbound around the speaker.
On a peg bung a little frock, while
beneath rested a pair of tiny shoes.
The rough, hard faces were studies
in their varied expressions.
It was F zzdetop who broke the
spell. \\ itliout a word he stepped
quickly to the bedside and pushed
aside the curtain. On the pillow lav
a flushed little face, ainid a tangle of
golden curls.
< >ne or two of the miners turned
away with heads bent forward
on their breasts. Fizzletop’s bund
trembled strangely as he held aside
the curtain, and old Dad Tangle es¬
sayed to speak, and got as far as
“Well, I’ll be blowori,” when some¬
thing seemed to choke him. and after
fiwalloxving suspiciously two or three
times, he ma le his way uncertainly
out of doors.
The light,on (lie tiny face awakened
the litiI-> sleeper, and the blue eyes
opened woiideringly.
“\Y..ere is papa?”
Several more of the group, with
silent and unsp-ady steps, passed out
through the open doorway.

“He said lie wa- going to bring a

“Oh, no,” answered the little one
simply. “ The people in town wouldn't

“But have you no mammy, deary?"
“Mamma is dead.” said the child,
gravely.
Without another word Fizzletop
turned With one bound lie placed
his ear to the figure on the floor.
“till with his coat, boys.” he whis¬
pered boat sely. as lie dashed through
the doorway, and a moment later there
was a clatter of flying hoofs.
So the little flushed face had a
doctor after all. and the doctor had
two patients instead of one.
••They’ll both be all right in a few
days,” he said n the circle of anxious
faces as be rode away. *1 knew the

The Profits of Authorship.
A Nef York letter in the Philadel¬
phia Pr#ss says: I caught one of oar
best-known authors in a confidential
mood recently, and his comments on
tbe revenue of authorship, which lie
gave me permission afterwards to
print, carry interest with them. 1
may add that the name of this author
is one of the most widely known in
American literature to-day. “Seven
years ago I chose between law and
literature. I bad every opportunity to
succeed at the bar, for, through hard
study and iny connections, a lucrative
practice seemed open to me. But I
turned to authorship. To4day I am
what the world calls a successful au¬
thor. My last novel was bid for by
three publishers, and my royalties, I
am told by my publishers, are higher
than those of the majority of their
writers.
“1 have the pleasure of hearing my
books and name hawked on the trains
when I am travelling, the newspapers
give me from a quarter of a column to
a column and a half reviews. But
what has literature brought me in
money? Let me open my vest pocket
to you. Here is my actual revenue
for 1889, and includes, as you see,
royalties on six of my novels, maga¬
zine articles, etc., and everything is
collected. Here isthe total—$2170.-10.
Compare theso actual figures to the
paragraph recently circulated in which
I am reputed to earn $10,000 from
my pen. Is it any wonder that the
unsophisticated enter literature with
false hopes? Yes, print these facts if
you wish; only, of course, withhold
my name and identity.” 1 reproduce
here the facts and figures as they were
gi.eu to me. I only wish it were
possible, for t lie sake of those who
think that literature is a bed of roses,
to give this author’s name.
An Indian Robin Hood.
Jhunda, tbe dacoit, who was re¬
cently killed in an encounter with the
Indian police, appears from the ac¬
counts of his life given by the papers,
to have been a kind of Indian Robin
Hood. He began liis career in the
native army, but soon left the service
for (lie more congenial occupation of
robbery. In 1874 he was captured
and sentenced to fifteen years’ im¬
prisonment. After breaking bis arm
in an attempt to escape he remained at
Meerut goal till 1888, and became the
most expert carpet weaver in the
prison. On his release ho collected a
band, which soon became the terror of
Meerut and the adjoining districts.
His usual course of operations was to
pounce upon a village and call upon
the local shroff, or banker, to produce
bis bonds and receipts, which were
then publicly burned, while the shroff
himself was plundered. This style of
proceeding made Jhunda popular with
the indebted classes, who form a large
proportion of the rural population,
and by their aid lie succeed in defying
the police for thelasttwo years. Like
his English prototype, he is also said to
have been charitable to the poor.
There was at first some doubt whether
lie was actualiy killed; but his identity
is now placed beyond question.
TYhat a Choir Singer May Earn.
A soprano, in an average city, will
be paid, as a beginner, anywhere from
$200 to $500 per annum, As she be
comes better known, and is in more
thorough command of her voice, she
will average from $500 to $800. Bos¬
ton pays about $200 per annum better
to choir singers than any other city in
my knowledge. Several sopranos there
receive yearly salaries of $1000 and
$1200, and a few $1500.
A woman ivitli a good contralto
voice will begin with an annual salary
of $200,|Which, if she is successful,
may rise to an average of $500. There
are two churches in Philadelphia, I
believe, which pay their contraltos
$400; but tliis, in cities outside of
Boston, which ;s with sopranos aver¬
ages about $200 higher, is unusual.
And even a genuine alto, that rarest of
things in these days, will command but
from $500 to >400 per annum. The
Hub, of course, does better than this by
$200, but even with this addition none
of ibese sala ies appear precisely ex¬
travagant, or to admit of much luxury
in living, and salaries are rarely in
creased. Should a rival church make
an oiler for a voice, if the fuel church
is desirous of retaining it, the rival’s
price isoverbid and the voice retained.

A Fortune in Asparagus.
“On a spur of Lake Tohapekaliga,”

here on an immense scale, the design
being to plant fifty acres of it. It is
argued that it cau be placed on tbe
market at a season when there is no
competition, as the time of planting
iu South Carolina and Georgia is in
March, while here it is in January,
giving a crop two months earlier. Tho
colossal experiment will be watched
with intense interest by the agricul
turists of Florida.”

Half Heron, Half Stork.
The London Zoological Gardens
have just received several specimens
of (he umbretta, which lias not been
exhibited since the year 1881. It is,
however, fairly common throughout
the (Jape Colony and other pai ts of
Africa, and extends its range to Mada¬
gascar. It is one of those birds which
has proved a difficulty to the syste¬
matise for it does not fit accurately
into any classificatory scheme. It is
half a heron and half a stork, with a
general appearance which is unlike
that of either. On tly: whole, its
structure comes nearer to the heron,
and itjias the rather melancholy de¬
meanor of that bird. It lives upon
fish and frogs. Curiously enough, it
is looked upon by some of the natives
of both Africa and Madagascar as a
bit;! of evil augury.
In Africa it is held to be sacred and
to possess the power of witchcraft.
There is something portentous and
solemn about the behavior of all these
herons and bitterns, which easily ac¬
counts for the origin of these legends

feet across—and its interior divided

does not take in any lodgers, such as

All Honor and Glory
—TO—
GEORGIA!
The First of the Southern States to
Invent and
Manufacture a Piano!
And greater the honor and distinction
when it can be shown that
The Georgia Made Piano
Possesses improvements which no other
Piano has or can use: #
A PERFECT SOFT PEDAL!
So constructed that it can be applied and
held in position lor any length ef time
without* continued pressure of the foot.
With this wonderful soft Pedal arrange¬
ment the tone of the Piano is so e really
reduced that a person practicing can scarce¬
ly be heard outside ol the room. Worth its
weight in gold to persons of nervous tem¬
perament.
A DUPLEX TOUCH!
A simple improvement which enables the
performer heavy to change the action from light
to ; the object of which is to strength¬
en weak fingers nnd wrists. Some per¬
sons can of never become good performers wrists. The on
ac> ount weak fingers and
solved Cooper Piano. (The Georgia Piano) has
this problem of a cure in its duplex
touch. No other Piano possesses these
great improvements. In tone, the Cooper
is grand, every note being as clear as a bell.
