BV HELEN KOBREST GRAVES “It don't matter so much now, grandma,” said Aileen, drying the tears that had sparkled on her cheeks like dew drops on a rose. “Of course it is very silly for me to cry, but I couldn’t help it, just at first.” “But what<s the matter, my pet?” said old Mrs. Harrington, soothing ly- She had found Aileen coiled up In the deep embrasure of the win dow, where the winter sunset was strained through in deep hues of crimson and amber, crying bitterly. The Harrington family were am bitious people. They had come to Virginia and purchased, at a mere ly nominal price, the fine old man sion that once belonged to a luxu rious planter, long since dead, and, on the same principle with the old gentleman in the “Pirates of Pen zance,” who bought a line of ances tors with his castle, had adopted all the airs and graces of the F. F. V. Mr. Harrington who had been contented to raise humble corn and pumpkins in the valley of the Con necticut River, now devoted him self to the more aristocratic crop of t tobacco. Mrs. Harrington, who had been a notable Yankee housekeeper, hir ed two negro women to do the housework, and cultivated society; an 1 tho three Misses Harrington forgot the days of factory work ami honest district school teaching in the gentilities of “Valley Lawn.” The old lady alone remained tree to her colors. “All this is very fine,” said she, “but I d»n’t see what’s to be gained by it. Dan’l is losing money, as true as you’re born!” “Money isn’t everything, grand ma,” said her daughter-in-law, tart ly- “Humph!” said the old lady. And when Aileen, the orphan cousin, came down from the New England hills, grandma was the on ly one who really welcomed her. “There are three of us already,” said Selina Harrington, grudging ly- “Why couldn’t she have been a boy, so as to help pa with the plan tation?” said Norma. “What do we want of any more girls?” sighed Juanita, whose bap tismal name had been “Judith.” “Ain’t no use growling about it,” said “Pa,” \v;ho could not be mrde an elegant gentleman, let the fam ily varnish and veneer as they pleased. “Here she is, and here she 1 is got to stay. I don’t want her no more’n you do; but she ain’t got no friend to go to, so what’s ye goin’ to do about it?” Aileen was pretty, too, in her [shy, wild-daisy way, with big blue- | black eyes, reddish-brown hair and rich Titanesque complexion. The Misses Harrington were not pretty. This was another objection, si though it was not generally dis cussed, and Aileen soon knew, by instinct, that the old grand- ioth«r was her only friend in all ^he big, dreary house. A third matter of offense cropped but on All Hallow E’en, when Ai- en weut out into the woods to ather hickory-nuts to barn in the |reside blaze. Perhaps it was not her fault that Ir. Haller's vicious bull jumped i rough the tumble-down Tehee and ightened her nearly out of her its; -%nd she- was doubtless hot ersonally responsible for the fact at Captain Dulany chanced to be ring, and rescued her from the g-horned enemy with prompt |Jan try. p“He was so very kind!” said Ai- Bn wistfully. “Do you think, andma, that I ought to tell my ^nt and the girls that he walks ith me when I go to the post of- or that he gave me those autiful,deep-blue asters that they ought I found in the copse ? or kat it was he discovered the big ^nch of mistletoe in Greenough’s >ods? k Well, not unless they ask you,” lid old Mrs. Harrington, shrugging fcr shoulders. For she had heard three grand- lighters discussing the Dulany estion with some acrimony. PPm the eldest,” Selina had said jtly, “aDd I ought to have . the ; chance. If .any of us is to call ma at Dulany Beeches, it shall me!” u Yoo always were, a selfish Ing!* said Korean. ‘Captain Du ny’s mother has a large library, pd you know very well that I'm erary. '“I’m the youngest, and I don’t i why I should be poked into brner always,” pouted Miss Juanita Indith VOLUME XX. But Selina, by rtrength of years and tongue, had carried her point. So when New Year’s Day ap proached, and Aileen timidly con suited Aunt Harrington as to what she should wear, that matron open ed her large, light eyes with coun terfeited amazement. “You, child!” said she. “Why, you’re not to come in at all! The girls don’t want a whole drove in the parlor. Three women are quite enough. And you’re so young f you know.” “I’m seventeen, aunt,” faltered Aileen. “Two or three years hence will do very well for you,” said the relentless elder. “Try and put such silly nonsense out of your head.” And this was why Aileen was crying. Old Mrs. Harrington understood it all very well. She had been young once. She saw the folly of interference in this particular cas«, however. “Dan’l’s wife likes her own way,’’ she said. “She ain’t pleasant if she- (links any one is meddlin’. I’ll tell you what, Aileen—you and I will go out to the big chain tier over stun barn, and net Pomp to build us up a real good fire of pine logs in the old chimbly. There’s a car pet-loom there, and a spinning- wheel and all the fixings, and I’ll showyouhowl used to spin flax when I was a gal, and weave rag- carpet.” “Will you?” said Aileen, with brightening eyes. “Oh, Grandma, h w very, very nice that will be! Ai d can I roast chestnuts and ap ples in the ashes?—will you tell ne about your sailor-lover that was Irowned before you ever saw my Grandfather Harrington ?” “Yes,” said the old lady—“yes! We’ll hev our New Year’s by our selves—me and you, child." So Aileen put away the pretty lit tle blue merino gown that she had retrimmed for New Year’s Day, and donned instead the brown Merrimac calico that made her look like a robin-redbreast; and just about the time that her three cousins were quarreling for the possession of the biggest dressing-glass to do their hair, she and her grandmother were adjusting the ancient spin ning-wheel in the st-wie-barn cham ber, and piling wood in the cav ernous recess of the huge fireplace. They had a very pleasant New Year’s Day, although the " tears came to Aileen’s eyes once or twice, when the carriages rolled by over the hard-frozen road toward the house. And at dusk she lighted the cheerful candles, and sat down to prepare grandma’s supper, with fresh corncakes, baked in hot em bers, according to the receipt of Aunt Felicia, the colored cook, fragrant coffee, and sweet apples, roasted and eaten with cream. But Captain Dulany, riding his Morgan horse, Hotspur, through the pine woods, drew rein close by the old stone barn, whence he had not seen the red lights gleaming out for ten years. “What can it be?” he asked him self. “We childreu used to play at ghosts up there of an autumn even ing, when the Valdimir family lived there. Or, perhaps the care less servants have set something on fire.” He jumped off his horse, flung the reins over, a projecting pine bough, and went in to see what the meaning of this un wonuted illumi nation migfit he. The door stood wide open——the wSole room was aglow with a warm ruddy light.-' Grandma, enthroned in a big splint chair before the blaze, was drinking her coffee, and Aileen sat spinning at the old wheel, with cheeks softly reddened and blue eyes sparkling—a very picture of he«Hh and beauty. Both started at the sudden appari tion of the captain on the threshold. I—I beg your pardon!” said Cap tain Dulany, lifting his hat. “I saw the light shining out, and I was afraid that something had happen ed.” “Something has happened,” said Aileen, laughing. “I have learned to spin. And Grandma and I are having a picnic. Will you come in, Captain Dulany?” “Well, since your coffee smells so good, I think I will,” said the gal lant young officer. His cup—which for lack of more expensive china happened to be a mug—was scarcely poured out, be fore their numbers were augment ed by Mr. Ferrars and young Dr. Fenchurd, who had seen the lights, and had also observed' “Hotspur” fastened to the fence. • “May we,venture to intrude?” said they,: peeping in over_the stair- rail. “Oh, certainly!” said grandma, smiling. And AUnfendistributed handleless cops and bountiful slices of golden- brown corn cake, yet steaming from the fire, to her guests. “We are hardly prepared to en tertain so large a company,” said she, composedly; “but we can, at all events, give you a sincere wel come.” NEWNAN, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1SS5.

Two—three—half a dozen more dropped in. Old Fomp was sum moned to pour fresh pine cones on the blaze and bring more coffee and corncake. He grinned from ear to ear. “Pow’fu’ like de good ole times,” said he, to Aunt Felicia, when he returned to his cabin. “De bery cream ob de gentry enjoyin’ de corn pones an’ coffee like dey was MRS. J0.VES DID IT. * How the Noble Wife of the Arkansas Senator-Elect Bade a Vote. Mr. Baker, of Benton, when his name was reached, rose to his feet and said: “Mr. President, I cast my first vote in this Senatorial con test for Gov. James H. Berry, and I have continued to do so up to the our own old tnarse’s folks. Ain’t i present time. 1 know him and I nuffin like cornpone for rale good flavor, dat dey ain’t. An’ de young lady from de Norf, she’s as pretty as a peach. Reckon de capting finks so, too. He, he, he!” And old Pomp shook his lean sides with an inaudible chuckle of glee. Later in the evening the gentle men went up to the house; where stood the three Misses Harrington in a simpering row. But their call there was like wa ter after wine, and several of them returned to the “Stone Barn” to finish their evening. Adrian Dulany remained the lat est of all—so late, in fact, that it was he who escorted grandma—who had discreetly fallen aiseep in her big chair some time ago—and Aileen to the house, under whisper ing pine boughs, by the lights of a big round moon. The three cousins, whose list of calls had long since ended, were yawning in the porlor beside the great seed cake and the decanters of wine. like him. He is a good man, and well qualified to fill the office; an honored citizen, a brave soldier and an able statesman; he is high in the esteem of the public, i am a rough man myself—a man from the mountains, aud I am one of those men wiio stick by their friends—I stick by my friends when they de serve it, when they are able and weli qualified, until they tall, and even then I’ll not desert them—I fall with them. I hated to see Gov. Berry withdraw from the field, but when I saw it must be, I looked about me and took the tiling under consideration and thought ou it. I thought long and carefully over it, and I slept with it. (Laughter.) I saw I must cast my vote for some one else, and I must make a choice of the other candidates. I’ll tell you how I did it. I looked ovgi the field. I have met the other two and I had studied them. I met the Hon. Poindexter Dunn and I saw in him many good points. I saw a fine head on him (I greatly admire a fine head) and I saw in him a great “Dear me!” cried Selina, as the i coming man. But I tell you what little group came in. “Where have j did tho work for me. I met Mrs. you been all day, Aileen?” j Jones, the wife of the Hon. James “In the old stone barn chamber, learning to spin,” said Aileen, laugh ing and coloring. Juanita looked sharply at her. What change had subtly crept over her voice and manner? Then she looked at Captain Adrian’s bright face. “Take good care of her,” said the young officer, tenderly removing the heavy shawl from Aileen’s shoulder. “She has promised to be my wife before a great- many weeks.” It was not until Dulany had gone that, the full cannonade of questions burst on Aileen’s devoted head. “Girls, girls! don’t all speak at 'innp.pj" said tfte grandma.' “it’s just exactly as I’ve always told you. The right one will be sure to come along if you sit in the chimney cor ner and wait And that was just what Aileen was doing this even ing.” And that night, when the irost white stars of midnight climbed the sky, Aileen whispered: •‘Good-by, sweet New Year’s Day the happiest I have ever known!” A Trick in Four Acts. ActI—A gentleman irreproacha bly dressed goes into a confection er’s shop in Paris, and says to the polite proprietor: “I want lot) of the nicest cream tarts you can make.” “A iiundred and fifty! That is a pretty large order. Do you want hem at once?” 1 Within three hours at the lat est.” * ‘I can have them ready at that time. Ahem! It is customary to ask a deposit on snch orders—say, ten francs.” “Certainly, my friend. Here are your ten francs.” Act II.—About two hours later a gentleman irreproachably dressed goes into a tailor shop across the way from the pastry cook’s and asks to be shown some overcoats. He selects'one of the nicest and asks the price. “One Iiundred and twenty-five francs, sir.” “Very well; I will take it. I have some money to collect at the con fectioner’s across the way. I pre sume you have no objection to let one of your young men come over with me to get it” “Certainly not. A worthy man is my friend, Mr. Puff.” Act ILL—To confectioner enter irreproachably dressed gentleman, now wearing an overcoat, and tail or’s young man. The confectioner greets the former with the respect ful friendliness due'toagood cus tomer. “Ah, Puff, I’ve called round for that one hundred and fifty. You promised to have them ready for me at 2.30.” “You shall have them in five minutes, sir.” “Very well. I have to go round the c inter to see a man. Y'ou will give this young gentleman one hundred and twenty-five of the one hundred and fifty. I will return and get the remaining twenty-five myself in a few moments.” “With pleasure, sir.” Act IV.—Five minutes later the confectioner gives the tailor’s young man 125 cream tarts, and a bill for balance thereon, 21 francs 25 cen times. One minute thereafter a confectioner and a tailor’s young man are scouring the neighbor hood in search of an irreproachably dressed gentleman with a new over coat. K. Jones, and that settled it. This is how it was: I met her and I went and called on her; yes, I did. The room was full of beautiful women. I didn’t hardly know what to do, but she sat by the piano and I asked her to play a little tune on it for me. (Laughter.) I asked her that very thing, asked her if she could play ‘My Old Cabin Horae.’ She said she would if I would sing a verse of it, and I said, I’d try. (Cries, ‘Sing It now, let’s hear it’) You wait. I said I would, and she touched up the piano, hit the very keynote of the piece—the tune I know and love best on earth. It rang and echoed about the room. The place was full of women, and pretty women, too. (Applause.) And' among them I saw Miss Roane, the daughter of old Gov. Roane, the lady of whom Mr. McMillen spoke so beautifully a while ago. They crowded around, and right there I stood and sung the verse. (Cries of‘Sing, sing; give us the verse.’) All right, gentle men, to accommodate you I’ll sing it,” and clearing his throat the gen tleman from Benton struck up a baro-tone solo, and sung: “We’ll hunt no more the grizzly In the nook. We’ll leave the canyon all So dry; We’ll drink no more of the Clear crystal brook, So, my log-cabin home, good-by.” As the “good-by” floated up among the cobwebs in the dome of the hall, the densely packed throng burst in to cheers and shouts, a tornado of applause shaking the old house, while bursts of laughter broke out like thunderbolts, and hand-clap pings sounded like hail among the confusion. At length the orator succeeded in getting silence again, after bowing and gesticulating sev eral minutes, and said, “Hold on— wait, and hear the chorus;” and then he sang: “We’ll mind no more but play, I never shall forget That log-cabin home— That log cabin home, far a\vay."£ Again the storm broke forth, and it was several minutes before he could proceed. When a lull came he continued: “Well those ladies crowded around me, and when Mrs. Jones stopped playing I seized her hand and said, ‘Madam, I am in love with you.’ (Shouts.) Yes, I told her I had fallen in love with her, and she said she wished I’d fall in love with her husband as well. She treated me nice—they all did, too. Now, I am a rough old man, but ladies have great attractions for the old mountain boomers. They ’looked so sweet-and nice I wanted to hug them all. I know I do— (cheers)—and I never forgot that visit When I met Mr. Jones I looked at him closely, and saw’ in him a man whom I could well sup port. He had a big head, too—a head like a wash tub, eyes set away back in and a deep thinking look in them; and so, with all this to think of, after looking well about me, after considering the matter well, after sleeping with it, I have concluded to vote for Hon. James K. Jones.” GRAPPLING A GRIZZLY. Desperate Fight of Fir,' Ben With a Bear. A recent nutnlter of tho Denver (Col.) News says: Sheriff Joe Smith, of Conejos county, claims to be on» of the greatest hunters in the coun try, and to sustain this tells a re markable story of the killiug of a grizzly hear on Prospect Peak, in Conejos county, one day last week, assisted by Gerard Austin, county treasurer of Conejos county, Dr. Limburg, Billy Seed, of Hinkle Jc Co., and C. Lee, of Chama, foi merly a sher)’ r of one of the counties of California. “We were out hunting deer,” said Joe, “and had camped the night be fore in a valley by the side of a stream. Upon turning out in the morning we discovered that there had been a light fall of snow during the night, and also that there were a large number of bear tracks around the camp. Packing up our duds we started to follow the tracks which led directly up the mountain on the regular trail which w.ound around it clear to the summit and then over the range. When we had gone 3ome miles and had reached a point about half way up, the tracks suddenly diverged into some aspen timber. Following for a short di.<p- tance with some difficulty, we came to a place that was very much bro ken, huge bowlders making further progress almost impossible. While deliberating what to do we sudden ly heard the grunt of a bear evi dently near by. With rifles in hand we looked around cautiously, and discovered an opening between two of the largest rocks and marks showing the presence of bruin. He was in a sort of opening or short cave formed by the rocks but how to get at him was the question. No one cared to follow him, as we were sure he was a pretty tough custom er to deal with, being evidently quite large and full grown, judging from the tracks. At length an idea struck me, and, telling the other boys to stay in front, I went cau tiously around to the back of the rocks and there saw a small open ing through which the tail of the hear protruded. As I am pretty mnscunif ant have a good grip I' dropped my rifle and grasped the bear’s taii with both hands, at the same time shouting with all my might to the boys on the other side to go in and shoot him. Talk about pulling. That bear pulled worse than ten mules, and I thought sev eral times my arms would leave their sockets, but I braced myself wLh my feet against the rocks and held on, the bear making a fearful noise all the time. Suddenly I heard several shots, and the strain on my arms lessened, and I knew he was a goner. Going around to the front I found the boys had gone in, and joined theih. The bear was rolling in death agonies, snapping at and trying to get near us. Final ly we closed on him, when with a last effort he rose suddenly and clasped Austin in a terrible hug, bruising and scratching him awful ly. At this moment Lee plunged his huge knife into his heart, and he fell dead. They all awarded the credit of the final shot, however, to Billy Seed. The bear, which was a full grown grizzly, and must have weighed over five hundred pounds, we dragged outside with some dif ficulty and skinned, it being impos sible to take the carcass the long distance to town. The skin is at the Hotel Brunswick, and you can judge whether he was not a tough customer to hold.” All of the party were considerably scratched and bruised, and showed signs of the severe struggle they had undergone.
