MY I0REIGN ANTAGONIST.
BY ALFRED CRAYON.
“And you are going home?”
“Yen, I am going home.”
The happiness within me that
found utterance in a laugh was re
flected but dismally from the brown
bearded face opposite me. But then
Gurney was down on his luck, and
that was hardly to be wondered at
when a young ne’er-do-wel! like me
could realize in two brief years the
wealth that he had toiled for ^pa
tiently during half a score in vain
“And you’ll settledown in the oid
country and be a steady, practical
man for the future?” he said look
ing at me wistfully.
“Yes, and I’ll marry Janie, and
make her happy and proud of me
and you’ll visit us, Gurney, won’t
you, to see how I have taken all
your goo d counsel and my own good
luck to heart ?”
“Maybe; maybe; I don’t piomise,”
smiling thoughtfully and stroking
his silken beard as he spoke; “but
you have had rnfC fortune, young
one, and you do well to sit down
now, and consider how to do the
very best with yourself. It is not
everyone who finds himself at twen
ty-five with a University education
and a realized fortune, and a sweet,
faithful girl waiting for him at
home. But that is the way of things;
chance gives you that because you
were a bad boy to begin with, while
I, who was as steady always as
Khadamantlius and the remaining
judges, have a handful of nuggets
for my whole capital and a grave
under the wattletrees to mark the
end of my love-story. Hardly fair,
is it, young one?”
“Horribly unfair,” I answered
warmly, “J>ut your turn will come;
it always does to the deserving and
patient. And as to me, why my
end is not seen yet. ‘Call no man
happy until ho is dead,’ you know.”
A faint smile broke over his face.
“Do you think I envy you or
grudge you anything? Oh no, I’m
not such a bail fellow as that. 1
would not take from you one gleam
of your contentment if I could. 1
am satisfied both for you and my
self. Prosperity is the pabulum you
will thrive on, while I should be the
same under any fortune.”
Wo were on our way together
down the main street of Tarrangow-
er, he coming from the store where
he had been disposing of some gold
dust to an agent who paid three'
pence an ounce more for it than the
bank price, I from the New South
Wales Bank, whence I had been
drawing my fortune in the form of
a bulky roll of one hundred pound
British notes.
“It is scarcely safe to carry all that
around here,” an acquaintance ven
tured waYningly, as I was buttoning
the money into the pocket of my
moleskin trousers.
“I shall take the number of the
notes by-and-hy,” I answered care
lessly. “You know I sail for Eng
land next week.”
“And why not have that money
transferred to the bank there for
safety, and your own comfort in
traveling, and a hundred reasons?”
the man asked in surprise.
“I like it this way; I like the feel
of it about me, and convenience is
altogether a matter of opinion.”
Then I went out whistling, not
through dearth, but through abund
ance of thought. That .bnlltv roll.
r?pF»5enfetrtove, and triumph, and
reconciliation with the family at
home, who had feigned to despair of
me once.
“Oh, Janie, Janie, how fond and
faithful you have been!” I thought
tumultuously. “Heaven helping
me, my future wili be worthier of
you than my past has been.”
And then I had encountered Gur
ney, and, linking my arm in his, we
had walked down the street togeth
er while I dilated to him on ray
prospects.
“You go to Europe next, week, and
I start up the country to-morrow,
and it may be we shall never meet
again,” h“ said regretfully.
“Then let us drink a stirrup-cup
at parting,” I said, drawing him to
ward the open door of The Kanga
roo.
“A stirrup-cup of water, if you
wiW
“Preaching again!” I said, pet
tishly.
“No, not preaching; only urging
you, by our friendship, to make me
happy.”
“What is it to you ?”
“I like you; I want to know you
safe before you leave me.”
I twisted myself away from him
impatiently.
“No man has ever yet called me a
drunkard,” I said.
“No, certainly not, and I want to
make sure no man ever will.”
I hesitated, looking at him doubt
fully.
“Surely it is in the hour of our
greatest triumph that we should
most readily bring our sacrifices to
the altar.”
“AH right,” I said, flushing. “I
promise.”
“Promise what ?”
“To ‘abstain from intoxicating
drinks as beverages’ forever,” laugh
ing uncomfortably.
He stretched out his big hand and
grasped mine.
“I am satisfied about you now,
young one; I never was before.
Heaven bless you!” And then we
sauntered into the saloon together,
and drank a glass of ginger beer,
amicably ehatting in a desultory
way.
Groups of two and three were
scattered here and there about the
bar, chatting noisily lor the most
part, though a few drank deeply in
sullen silence; but, except the
lounger by the door, who stood with
his hands plunged deeply in his
pockets, and his slouch hat drawn
low over his restless eyes; each man
had some mate to reflect his humor
•r contradict it.
“That is the Italian fellow,”
vhispered, nodding toward him.
“Yes, cleaned out, or thereabouts,”
Gurney answered in a low tone, and
then we turned to leave together.
As we passed out, some impulse
prompted me to turn toward the
stranger, and extending a sovereign
on ray open palm, I said curtly:
“Have it, mate ?”
“I did not beg,” he answered cold-
y speaking with a distant foreign
accent.
“Of course not, but it will brine
you luck. Money from the pockets
of a successful digger always does,”
( said lightly.
“Thank you.” He took the coin
from me, but held it doubtfully in
his hand while he followed me with
his eyes.
“That fellow is desperate. I should
have said nothing to him, on the
principal of letting sleeping dogs
lie.” Gurney remarked.
“It is always well to do a kind ac
tion when one has the chance,” I
said carelessly. “That may stave
off suicide another week;” and then
Gurney and I shook hands and
parted, with some vague hope of
meeting somewhere, sometime, if
we could.
' It was a dark night, and when
>nce I had left the lights of Tar-
rangower behind me, the blackness
seemed to close around me with a
sense ef discomfort. After all, had
I been wise to carry all that money
on my person, and to take my way
alone and unarmed—for an unload
ed pistol was a mere toy—through a
district so familiar in those advent
urous days with deeds of violence ?
Several men saw the money at the
bank and others knew that I meant
to draw out my investments that
day. Why had I not told Gurney
and let him come home with me?
Why had I not ?
But, pshaw! What was the good
of shrinking like a child before a
dark night? There was no danger
—none in the world; the men who
had seen the money were as honest
as I was, and once I had reached
my hut I would load ftiy revolver
and be ready for attack.
To keep up my heart I fell to hum
ming one of Janie’s old songs, while
I strove to concentrate all my at
tention on the path before me. I
had proceeded thus half way home,
and my first terrors were fading
away, when, just where the uncer
tain roadway dipped into a thicket
of eucalyptus, a hand was laid on
my shoulder, and a vibrant voice
said tremulously:
“Your money or your life!”
“Ha, it is you, scoundrel, whom I
helped^!! I said, wheeling round
suddenly on my unseen assailant,
“Dog of an Italian, would you
dare!”
It was furious indignation and
scorn of such a base return of my
kindness that animated me at the
moment. Battling for existence or
for my treasure had not occurred to
me yet.
“Yes, I would dare, because I am
mad,” the man panted forth. “You
must give me the gold; you are
young, you can gain more. You
have hope, I have nothing—give it
me!”
“Yes, I shall give you—that,” I
said, striking in the direction of the
voice, and then we closed with each
other.
After that neither of us spoke,
but we wrestled like giants, while
eaeh clutched the other by the
throat.
My money was safe still, secured
by a flap and button over the pock
et, according to a fashion prevail
ing in the colony at the time, and
my chance of life lay in the endu
rance of my thews and sinews, for I
knew I was confronted by a desper
ate man.
Round and round, backward and
forward, circling restlessly, and
grappling each other furiously, we
went, while the sense of strangula
tion dne to his grip on my throat
increased as he strove to throw me.
“Ten seconds more and I shall be
choked,” I thought; and then I loos
ened one hand from its hold of him,
and struck oat with my clenched
fist toward the regions of the heart.
The blow told; befell like a log,
being apparently paralyzed for the
moment; but in falling he dragged
me with him, and hi« grasp on my
throat never relaxed.
“I am dying,” I thought, striving
with all my remaining strength to
loosen his hold of me, and then my
thoughts wandered confusedly to
ward my mother and Janie, and
the home I had meant to make for
my darling; and then I remember
no more. I had either fainted or
been suffocated into insensibility.
How long I remained thus I can
not tell. When I recovered con
sciousness the murderous pressure
bad fallen oflj but my assailant still
lay beneath me, breathing heavily.
Simultaneously we seemed to re
cover consciousness and in unison
we rose to our feet. I was trem
bling in every nerve; my aching
eyeballs seemed starting from my
head, my parched throat refused to
utter a sound, and my assailant
seemed in no better case.
For an instant we stood apart,
glaring at each other through the
larkness; then, as though at a given
signal, we closed with each other
again, instinctively, neither know
ing why. I believe he had no more
thought then of taking the money
than I had of defending it. There
seemed nothing awake in us but
mere animal fury; brute force op
posed brute force, demanding victo
ry at any cost
Again we wrestled and strove,
white face close to white face in the
gloom, and again the contest was so
equal that no spectator would have
known on which side to promise
victory. For many minutes we
wrestled silently, and then we fell
again, and this time I was under
most And then ensued a struggle
such as I had no idea men were ca
pable of. We rolled over each oth
er, we strained every nerve, each to
kill the other; we dealt each other
desperate blows at random, and
then, when exhaustion forbade an
other movement, mechanically we
desisted, and as mechanically we
rose and drew a few labored, gasp
ing breaths, and rushed to the con
test again.
Whether or not my opponent was
armed I know not; at any rate he
made no attempt to draw any
weapon. As for me, I carried my
useless pistol, but even had it been
loaded, I question if I would have
used it after the first five minutes;
the contest was so terribly close and
equal that a thought of any ex
traneous aid did not occur to me.
Our action was wonderfully con
certed; as though governed by a
double mechanism we struggled,
fell, rose and resumed the fight, and
that after each had grown so weak
that a child could have vanquished
either.
And through all my terrible crav
ing for his life there crept, by-and-
by, a slow consciousness of respect
for him. He was tough as leather,
and he fought well, taking his pun
ishment with ail endurance that
hitherto I had deemed exclusively
British.
When I look back on that inci-
ient now I have no knowledge of
ime, no memory of anything but
pain and effort, and blinding blows.
I can not tell how long the struggle
lasted, or how it terminated. I only
know that at last the end came
somehow, and that, after a period of
oblivion, I returned to conscious
ness, and found myself alone.
Howl reached home I can not
tell, for I walked the distance doubt
less as somnambulists do, for next
day, when a neighbor came to look
me up I was tossing on my bed in a
raging fever, and the money that
had so nearly been the price of a
.life was safely buttoned In my pock
et. ' " ~~ ~
Of course the Great Britain a—-,
without me, and of course the
friends awaiting me at home grew
sick of the silence which no expla
nation came to break, for what mes
sage could any one send who ex
pected hourly to see me die ?
But the turn in my long illness
came at last, and then I turned
slowly and reluctantly toward im
provement. I had fonght a hard
battle for life beneath the shadow
of the eucalyptus; that which dis
ease waged against my youth later,
was as deadly and more prolonged.
But youth triumphed at last, and 1
rose a shadow of my old self, likely
to be debarred from existence on
the old glad, free, triumphant terms
for many a day.
It was years before the memento
of my encounter with that desper
ate ruffian had passed out of my
system; but now, after half a life
time, I can look back from my fair,
happy English home on that inci
dent of my career as contentedly as
on any other of my colonial expe
riences.
As to my enemy, his body had
been found in the creek while I lay
at the point of death, but whether
fallen there by accident or flung in
through despair, I never knew.
Gurney’s affairs brightened after
I left him, and the last time I look
ed on his honest face, as he sat be
side my Janie’s sister, with my
youngest boy on his knee, 1 decided
conclusively that life was not so
nearly over for hin\by a long way
as he had imagined when good lock
and he stood on opposite sides.
A BASG-IP HARBIA6E.
The Qaiekest Wedding an Record Take*
Flare In Ohio.
Squire .Beasley, of Aberdeen,
Ohio, just opposite Maysville, Ky.,
on the Ohio river, has for fifteen
years been the good angel of all
runaway couples. The Sqnire is a
tough, grizzled old fellow of 65 or
7o years of age, with a great fond
of hard, practical horse sense at
his command. He claims that 96
per cent ot the marriages he sol
emnizes turn out well,' which is a
strong statistical point in favor
of the Aberdeen article He iaJ"
available for the purpose day opr*'
night. His house, a large comfort
able, double structure of wood,
stands near the river bank. The
marriages are performed in a great
front room, which was once a par
lor. He claims to have perform
ed some years since the quickest
marriage ceremony on record.
A couple from Nicholas county,
youug, romantic and of high social
position, fled from* home one bright
star-light night in midsummer, and,
mounted on fleet .horses, galloped
across the country towards Mays-
ville. Soon angry relatives started
in pursuit. Just as the runaways
were descending the ridge which
overlooked the sleepy city they
heard the quick clatter of horses’
hoofs and the exciting shouts of the
pursuing party. Not a minute was
to be lost. They spurred their jaded
steeds, and at last reached the riv
er bank. Their pursuers had been
steadily gaining on them, however,
and the broad Ohio rolled remorse
lessly betweenthem and thehavenof
their hopes. A boat was drawn upon
the levee, and, pushing it off, the ex
pectant groom helped his trembling
sweetheart to a seat in the stern
thwarts. Then leaping in himself,
he seized the oars and paddled to
the opposite shore with all his
strength.
When he readied the middle of
the river the pursuing party gallop
ed down the Kentucky bank. An
other boat was procured, quiekly
manned, and a half dozen pair of
strong arms propelled it toward the
runaways. When the first boat
touched the Ohio bank and the
young couple leaped ashore the pur
suing party was within 200 yards
of them. Quickly they ran to the
honse of Squire Beasley. The old
squire had been called up to unite
a couple, and, having performed the
ceremony, was about retiring.
Suddenly the door flew open and
the hunted couple dashed into the
room.
“Quick!” cried the man, “we are
closely pursued, marry us!”
There was borne to their ears a
faint shout, and the Squire knew
there was no time to lose.
“Jine hands!”he cried.
They obeyed.
“Havehim?” he began, turning
to the girl.
“Yes.”
“Have her?” he demanded of the
man.
“Yes.”
“Hitched!” was the Squire’s la
conic benediction, and then as the
newly-made husband displayed a
well-filled pocket-book he added:
“Ten dollars!”
The words had hardly left his lips
when the pursuing party rushed in
to the house only to witness the
young couple's triumph.
HUMOROUS.
What’s in a >aar 1
“Matilda, what man was that you
were talking to oat at the gate last
night?" said Mrs. Yerger to her col
ored help.
“He was my brudder. He has jess
come to Austin fr >m Injun Creek.'

“Peter Jones.”
“But your name is Snowball.”
“Yes, you see Pete’s drae been

She Won't Be.
He had been very kind and so
licitous for several days and at
breakfast yesterday morning he
suddenly remarked:
“My dear, you don’t know how
bad it makes me feel to see you look
so thin and careworn.”
“Yes,” she softly replied.
“You must have lost at least five
pounds in the last month.”
“I presume so.”
“And that haggard expression
shows overwork and need of rest.”
“Yea”
“Dear me! but I could never for
give myself if you should go into a
decline.”
“See here, Henry!” she replied, as
she laid down her fork and looked
him square in the eye, “you want to
drop that! If you think you can
pack me off to the country for a
month and leave you to gallop
around here, you have got hold of
the wrong end of the string!”
He sighed heavily, but made no
reply, and yet as he stood on the
corner waiting for the car, and
Smith asked him how his wife was,
he answered:
“Picking right up, thank you.
She’s gaining a pound a week right
along, and was never in better spir
its.”
The Pocket Book Test.
Callow College graduates who are
anxious to plunge into the whirlpool
of journalism may draw their own
conclusions from the story which
follows:
Once upon a time a newspaper
man applied for admission at a place
of amusement, which was denied, as
he was not known to the door-keep
er and had forgotten to bring his
credentials with him.
“Haven’t I the appearance of a
jour—I beg pardon—newspaper
man ? Do my looks belie me V'
“Your appearance—your intel
lectual get-up and insinuating ways
certainly bear out your assertion,”
admitted the doorkeeper.
“Then why not give me the bene
fit of the doubt?”
“Beeause”—
Then a happy thought found its
way into the doorkeeper’s brain,
and he said:
“Let me see your pocket-book.”
The pocket-book was pioduced,
and merely giving it a glance the
doorkeeper permitted the owner to
Lore’s Yonng Dream.
The other night, says a corres
pondent, I overheard a real pretty
little piece of love’s labor won, and
it made my heart beat faster, and
brought back memories of the past,
it happened down on the dark end
of the piazza, next to my open win-
“Who r nn iove ?” »«id-he, un
grammatically.
“Papa,” said she innocently, with
a coo.
“Who else ?” said he.
“Mamma,” said she.
“Who else?”
“Brother.”
“Who else ?”
“Sister.”
“Who else ?”
“Uncle.”
“Who else?”
“Aunty.”
“Who else?”
“Ooo”—and then I heard a whale
bone snap and a peculiar gluggity,
glug, glug sound that didn’t need a
dictionary for translation. Ah,
love’s young dream, goon; there
will be an awakening some morn
ing about three o’clock in the future
when a bottle of paregoric and a
plaintive wail will recall the hours
that have been, but are no more.
The American Grocer contradicts
the statement which has been fre
quently made that sugar is cheaper
in the United States than it ever
has been before. In 1648 it sold
as low as 3% cents per pound. A
low grade of beet sugar Is now sell
ing in London at 2>; cents, which
is probably cheaper th-n any other
food product in teat city.
That pruning is tee best which
renders pruning tee least necessary.
“I might be fooled by personal ap
pearances,” the doorkeeper remark
ed as the newspaper man disap
peared from sight; “but the posses
sor of such a pocket-book as that is
strawberry-marked with journalism
or I don’t know a journalist from a
Labrador herring.”
He Settled at ftute.
