A. GEOR(4IA CANDY-PULL
ING.
And How it was Suddenly Bro
ken Up.
A party of Georgia girls had arranged to
have a candy-pulling at the residence of Mr.
Jonca, the fattier of one of girls. Now, h hap
pened that Mr. Jones had a barlMiUs- broth
er living with him, a gwxl-mWurod, kindly
sort of s man, but awfully bashful In the
presence of women—partlcularly young
wtsoen. Uncle Dick, as our Ixu-hclor
friend was called, had not been notified of
the candy-pulling arrangements, tlie Inten
tion of the girls being to monopolise all this
sweetness to themselves. On ilia evening In
ipiestion Uncle Dick was busily engaged, in
the beat room in the house, changing his

village, little dreaming of the calamity that
awaited him in lbs near future, lie bad al
ready doffed his clothes, and was In the act
of crawling into a clean shirt, when a sound
smote on hi* cars that caused hhn to start
suit shudder like an aspen. It WM the
sound of the merry voices of a bevy of
young girls approaching the house with a
steady txauiji. Nearer, nearer ’.hey came
Ida invading host, more terrible to Bache
lor Dick than any army with Imiiucrs. In
aniSlier moment the rustle of their dresses
fell iijvon his cars like a death knell. ‘I hoy
were at the very threshold of tlie room, ami
the floor was unlocked. Oh, tmmir of hor
rors ! What was this bachelor forlorn to
do to be saved from the fate that seemed
awaiting him. “He who hesitulra is Itat,"
thought Unclu Dick. There was hut one
way out of the aw ful dilemma in which he
found himself placed. (juick a* thought
the unclad man wildly Sci zed his clothes In
Ills arms ami Jumped behind tlie wardrobe.
Here lie [arelnal himself mi lop of a very
high clothes Intskcl, thinking the utiwcl
c<miic visitors would lx; gum; In a few min
utes. When the girls made their entrance
and commenced making prejiaratloiis for
the candy-pulling, Uncle Dick groaned in

"Oh, won’t we have a Jolly time of it D
exclaimed one of (he girls.. “WlLh no man
to lusher us, we can pull candy any way
we want it. Why these undid men would
wunl you to make the candy and pull It for
them to eat, and then they would eritlelae,
your conduct anil actlotia as aoon as their
hacks were turned I"
“Yim are rigid, Jenny, True, every
word of It. I*ut imi the candy while I grate
a little nutmeg to season It,” ipioth unoth
er.
Anil at It they went, a* busy us a hive of
IxirS.
Meantime, Uncle Dick, behind the ward
rolie, was growing more uncomfortable ev
ery minute. Tlie perspiration poured off of
him In great drojis ns lie SfilUfxpdzuti to him
self :
“tireat Bcotl ! Have 1 got to alay In thia

The p*A of yrup waa placed mi the fire

a acini circle around It, ami were Juat ready
to launch out Into a regular old-fashioned
gowaiping match, wlw-n one of them chocked

“Katy, lau’t lliere rata in Dial wardrolie 1

moment waa thumping against his cheat at

party.
"Perhaps it was another noise we heard,”
said One one of the girl*.
"Yes," answered another, "it must be be
hind the wardrobe.”
Acting on tliis hint, one of the girl* was
just preparing to extend her search in that
direction, when another one yelled out that
the candy was burning Tliey all, a* one
girl, rushed to the rescue of the burning pot
of sweets, ami for (he moment forgot ail
about the rata, greatly to the relief of Uncle
Dick.
