Estatok Creek, N. C., Oct L—After
riding some 600 miles during August and
•September through the w ildest, most beau
tiful and picturesque country it has ever
been my lot to see, 1 am nos- set out on the
road that will take me home. There are,
however, some 400 miles yet to be made
before 1 rest; the route lies directly through
the country of “Lo,” and the names of
Standing Indian, Vengeance Creek, Blood
Rock, Hanging Hog and Chunky Gal con
front me.
X go now directly to Quallatown, the
principal se tieiuout of the North Carolina
Indian reservation. Myself uud my black
mare Pbcebe go alone; but like Poll Sheri
dan “we are not afraid.” Of discomforts 1
cau encounter none m >re formidable tlnn 1
have already exrxjrienced, of oangers there
are none, 1 have reduced my bagirage to o
minimum, and am alwavs sure of a “bito
and a sup” for my-elf ami Pho-be at some
wayside cabin.
1 long most earnestly to see the noble red
man on this section ot Ids native heath. I
havo seen him in the west, where somehow,
ho seen is m ro appropriate, but this odd lit
tle pocket of aboriginalism—to coin a w„rd
for the occasion—here in the midst of alien
usurpers, in the midst ot a civilization that
has grown ever ad around it, as the bark
of a tree gr ms over t,.e nail driven into its
trunk, ought to bo someth.ng to philoso
pliiz 1 and wonder over, it ,s likely 1 shall
find him ass kied in raiment, as pronounced
in bis del ste fer water for any purpose as
his western brother, and ns little given to
loquacity or likely to satisfy my curiosity
concerning him. We shall s“e.
I camo to-day upon a romance, readv
made to a novelist’s hand. Phoebe and I
bad fared on all morning under gray skies
and came at noon, in a burst of repentant
sunshine, to a tiny cauin perched on a spur
of liig Black mountain, overlo dcing one of
the mos: wonderful views of this wonderful
country.
My customary “hello” brought out a
woman with a baby in her arms, who said I
could get some dinner.
She bustle 1 in tno house to get mo some
thing to e.v, ii merry, resolute little body
with a great head of the reddest hair 1 ever
saw, a •‘tip-tilted” nose and a mouth that
was continually smiling, and left ino to
talk to an old woman smoking a pipe ou tho
porch, whom she addressed as “maw.”
“Your daughter don’t look like tho moun
tain folks,” 1 ventured aftor we had talked
a little. “Naw,” said tho old woman who
showed traces of having been a typical
mountain bonuty, her thick, half.gray hair
having still a riotous crinkle and wave that
filled me with envy.
“Naw, her paw wuz a yankoo soldior. I
mary’d him enjurin’of the wah, on all my
folks ’lowed he'd desart mo, but he never.
Jist live! hyer ayfter the wah tell Biddy,
he named her Bridget after his maw, was
’bout 6 ye’r ole. an’th -n died off.” As the
woman'iu the house began to sing a moun
tain hymn in n mellow eontralta I put two
and two together. “Y< ur husband must
have been an Irishman, ’’ I said. "Nmv,"
she answered, “he wuzayankee—cum t’um
up nawth,” aud soem to think she had set
tled his nationality conclusively.
While I was eating my diuner I noticed
hung on the wall of the cabin a pair of fine
buckskin riding gloves, embroidered in col
ored silks. I have a pair almost exactly
like them at home sent me from Utah by a
friend, and I was of coarse surprised to see
anything of the sort bore. My surprise
increased when, asking the old woman in
regard to them, she replied, “I brung ’em
fuin Salt Lake City.”
I suppose I must have looked impolitely
astonished and inquisitive, for she chuckled
softly ands iid: “Ye didn’t ’low I’d ever
bin so fur frutn home, did ye? Well, I bin
thar, an’ I lived ia Tenn-essee for two ye’r,
too.”
My face must have continued to express
the liveliest curiosity, for she went on: “If
ye’d like to hyer how I come to go thar I’ll
tell ye bout it whilo yer restin’. Ayfter
Biddy’s paw died I lived hyer for nigh six
ye’r. I wuz a only chile, an 1 this yer fahm
was mine. You’ll say I didn’t hev no call
to ma’y no mo, an’ I didn’t, but or man
come up hyer from Tenn-essee, an’ ho fa’rly
pestered me till I tuck ’im. His name win
feively,” alluding to hitn in the same imper
sonal way in which she had mentioned her
first venture.
“1 niayr’d him an’ wo rented out this
place anil went down to live in Tenn-ssseo.
That there fall in ’or his tbet he’d bragged
so much on way in the valley, an’ bein’
mountain born an’ raisod 1 wont ter chillin’
fust thing. Crops wus bad for some sevrul
yers.au’ we run beniut, an’ ter o ip all, thet
man had ter git a fever an’ lay flat or his
back for six months. Biddy and mo made
the crop thet year. Biddy was fo’teen an’
a fine, weil-growed gal.
“Time he got up on ter oreepin’ round
ergiti ho got terrible tuck up’ith snmo new
preachers’t come thru. ‘We repersout the
church uv our Lawd uv Latter Day Saints.’
srz the preacher ez bold ez brass fust time
I hyrd ’iin preach.
“ ‘Thet’s no mo’ ner loss then snyin’ Mor

Stunts wuz, en how they ’ed the lost word

’bout bevin’ inor’n one wife.
“They needn’t do thet, they sod, lesVn
they pleased ter.
“‘Huh,’ sez I.‘l’d like tori*eo ther ole
onery man thet wouldn’t please ter—but
the wimmin—air yer so pottickler ter get
thor cornsint?”
“Well, 1 was all broke down with chills,
an’ bard work, an’ Sively ’lowed we’d lie
rich out ther an' cud make a ladv outen
Biddy—ho wuz alwuz powerful sot on
Biddy—an’ th’ eend on’t all wuz that we
went.
“I’m bonn’ ter say them Mormins done
ez they said ’bout londou’ uv us niWney tor
start weth au agriculcua’l instru-ments an’
Bich,an’ we done veil, though 1 never did
git back my strength.
“When we’d bin thar risin’ two years
Sivelv come from church one Sunday
evenin’ an’ said they wuz layiu’ off ter make
’imadeaciu or a elder cr sieh, an’ thet
fu’thermo’ they bed picked out a man fer
Biddy.
“I uz plumb ’shamed ter say a word gin
that, for sue wus turned 17 year, an’ we
alwuz said t’ home thet or gal ’t wuzn’t
mayr'd by 15, er didn’t hev her pegs set
fur’t by thet time, u uzzent goiuter git no

“I jis’ sez .‘I hate ter hev her take a Mor
min; I wisti’t she cud er bed one er ther
boys ter home. Who air they talkin’ ’bout

"He looked t’ther flo’an’ outer th’ win
der like a sheep-kilim’dawg. ‘They waz a
aimin’ ter seal her ter me,’ he sez, kinder
co’s’e an’ huskv like.
“Ye ole houn’l hollered; ’yeole noun,’
don’t ye know I’d kill ye fust* This yer’s
why ye drug me au’ my dartertout hvar. ez

“I skeered ’im an’ he looked fa’r tor back
ont, but I was weak an’ sick, an’ I fell a
trimlin’ and a shakin’ an’ u hollerin’ like th’
by-strikes.
“ ‘Shet up,’ he sez, th’ neighbors ’ll hyur
ye.’
“ ‘Neighbors,’ 1 hollered, ‘we ain’t got
none—just a packer wolves like you’; an’
hit was true. X knowed well by this time
how they treated the’r ‘rebellyus’ wimtnin
out thar—an’ I thought heaven wuz ez near
ez Nawth Callinv.
“A\ hen I tole Biddy she said ‘Paw orter
be ’shamed er hissef,’ an’ then she turued
right white when she saw what a trap we
wuz in.
“The sealin’ come on a Chewsday, en’
! that give us but one day ter projeck roun’
■ an* seo what we cud do.
“All day Monday I wuz at Biddy fer us
ter take th’ guu aa’ make a eend uv it. 1
’lowed I didn’t tee nary nother way outer
hit, an’ that I c’u,i take the gun au’ shoot
her cheerful, an’ then myae f.
“ ‘Aw, hush, maw you pester me.’ she'd
say, but would’t let on nary word ’bout
what she did aim ter do. ‘l’ll do my way,
j on’ ef bit don’t work we kin try the gun—
but we’ll use hit on tb’ ole man fust,’ she
said —H.ddy haint got her red ha’r fer
nothin”—with a subdued snicker. “We
wuz a powerful quiet fambly that day.
Neither me ner Biddy spoke to th’ ole man
wunst, an’she come in uiv room at night
au slep’ wAb me an’ th’ old man tuck dm a
quilt’n laid down front er the kitchen fl’.
“Airly in tb’ ma-vnin’ Bidty got up an’
dressed hersof, an’ tuck her cloee line on
her ahm. ’Come on maw, mebby ye c’n hep
me if I need hit’ she sez, and walked softly
inter th’ kitchen.
“Hep her! I follerei a trimblin’ so I cud
scarcoly stan’l
“She kneeled down by th’ ole man ’n
picked up the aidgo uv th’ quilt, he wur a
lyn’ on an’ tho >ed tut over him, then she
brung th’ other side over hit an’ had ’nn
rolled np neat ez ye please au’ two rounds
uv close line round ’im fore he began to
wake up ’a’ cuss.
“ 'Set down ou his head, maw. he’ll holler
next,’ -ez she, 'like be wuz a'rageou boss. ’
1 never set on his head, but 1 putt ills pillor
on hit an’ lnit 'iin ez best I cud tell she had
’im all done up an’ tied.
“Then she tuck er towill an’ made a tolla
bul good gag.
"‘I kinder hate ter do’m so bad,’ soz I,
whilst, she wur a tyin’ uv hit.
“Hate to,’ says Biddy, given’ ’is head a
rap with her knuckles like town folks does
wheust they wuuts to come m. ‘1 do’ want
him hollerin’ soVt ye km hyer him ter lh’
tabbernickull, aa’ hev them elders down on
us, and ,tidier ?”
“ ‘Now,’ says I when she got done, ’les
run.’
“‘Why, tnaw,’ sez she, ‘ef we go now
they’ll send liver by (j o’clock ter see why we
don’t come to the Sealm house, an’ they'd
find him an - take ayfter us, and iher nam’i
uare train er keer wo can git away ou till 13
er’clock this evenin.’ I’m a-g.iu’ to the
Seal in house now.’
“ Well, I wuz po’ly, but I did need t’ be
sicher fool ez I wuz. I hollered and cried
an’ tiiigged her notto go ’unjust them
Mormius. Said they’d git her, an’ lowed I
could’tstav in th’ house erione wet'u th’ ole
man done up so hejous au’ lookin’ like a
coi p, nohow.
“Biddy alius wuz a masterful little trick
f'um th’ time she cud talk—an’ afore thet —
aa’ she did what she aimed ter do, but I low
she wanted niiguty bad to give me a good
beatin.’
“ Well, she come back ’bout 1 o’clock.
Bein’ oneosy in her miu’ she bed cried most
er th’ time an’ said she wondered why her
paw didn’t come, and they never suspi
cioned tier. Sue said to ’em she reckoned
he’d furgot, an’ she thought ho wuz a doin’
her ecaiuellou-i, au’ one ole elder lowed he’d
hev her sealed t’ himself ter spite tu’ ole
man fer a doin’ her thataway, but she tole
’em she didn’t wan'er ina'y nary man but
her pay, an iiuo-ly th’ sealin’ time wuz over
au she come home.
“ Wo tuck B.une money twuz in th’ house,
laid by ter buy a fah n, 'a sick things ez we
cud grub handy, an let’.
“Wo lef th’ doors uu’ windows open t’
look like we ’uz t’ home, an’ my! how skeort
wo wus t’ we’d meet some 'er them elders
an’ he’d ax us where wuz we a goin’.
“But we didn’t, ’an when I got on th’
keers I just keeled over an’ wnz plumb
dead fer an hour. I tell ye that skeered
Biddy wuss’n Marinins.
“Wo cum right back hyer’n Biddy mayrd
my cousin Jinsoy’s oldes’ boy. She’s power
ful ole now,” (sho might have been 2d,) "an
had a heapor chillern, but I think sho cud
hoop out a passed er Mormius yit.”
“Maw thinks that’s a mighty fine tale,’
interposed Biddy rather shaine-facedly.
She had been listonii g in the intervals
when s‘ic was not attending to the v. a its of
her numerous offspring, aud was evidently
somewhat embarrased at the position of
tho heroine. “She tolls hit to ever’buddy
’t’U listen t’ hit.”
“Well, so do I,” I replied, slipping a quar
ter with a hole in it on a red ribbon aud
tying it around the neck of tho baby, whose
fuzz of hair was so mu h redder that it
made my ribbon look pink.
Alice MacQowax.
Tho Agent’s Expense Account.
A few dayß ago, while waiting in a coun
try hotel, tho writer fell in with tho advance
agent of a barn-stormi lg aggregation, says
the Chicago Tribune, whom he had known
in other and happier days when the agont
wns not uti agont.
“Is there much money in a position like
this J" w as asked.
The fellow, like “Yorlck,” has a good
deal of je-t to his sorrow. Elevating his
feet against the wai.isc iting, he said:
“Legitimately, no. The agont who goes
out ahead on a salary will return before
many days on foot, sore and and iwuheurtod.
If he would thrive he must work the ex
pose account. An agent who understands
his business can do this, and ho neodu’t lose
any sleep o:i account of his conscience. Let
me run off a few actual expenses: Postage—
well, say a dollar for each one night stand.
You think it high. No. It is astonishing
how tho postage-stamp dealer in a one-horse
town thrives on his profits on postage. Two
two-coat stamps for a nickel,
four for u dime. I have many
letters to write every day. Then there’s
the telephone account. Ten cents a
hello. You know how often a man has
to yell through a telephone. And you
know that in a town like this, where you
do not know people, you can find them
much essior by telephone than a camel can
go througu tho eye of a needle. I used to
get in a good deal on tolls and ferry
transportation. But that was in the good
old days. You know, maybe, that a foot
man on a tmllraad goes through the gate for
nothing; man oil horseback, 5 cents; man
and one-horse buggy, 10 cents. I always
wont through in a buggy when I walked,
and you can imagine what a profit
there wns in tho business I forgot my
self not long ago and put in some tolls on
my account. But the home concern docked
mo and wrote back that I had belter stop
walking. But I explained that there was a
wreck on the road, and in order to make
my town so as to got all of the bill boards
(ahead of tho other fellow) I had to hire a
team ami go over an old toll road. It
hadn’t been a toll-road for twenty years
until that accident. And as soon as the old
gatekeeper heard of the wroek ho erawlod
out of the grave, put up the red flag and
played toscrowded teams until tho railroad
was repaired. Tho home office alio wed me
extras after this explanation.
“The manager at homo has a great anti
pathy to cigarettes. Says he won’t have a
man who smokes them. When 1 was muk
ing my coiitract with him I was smoking a
cigarette. ‘For heavens sake,’ ne said,
‘quit smoking cigarettes if you are going
to travel for me.’ I says: ‘Gov’nor, I’ve
got to smoke and I can’t afford cigars.. ‘l’ll
furnish ’em,’ ho says. ‘Buta mean cigar is
worse than a cigarette,’ I says. ‘I know it,’
hesays. ‘You needn’t smoke mean ones. ’
‘I can’t afford to smoke good ones,’ I says.
‘l’ll furnish ’em,' he says. “I want you to
act iiko a gentleman, and if you keep on
smoking cigarettes i’ll have to pay for
buryiug you somewhere on the roud and
the country undertaker would gouge me.’
“Well, the gov’nor was right about that.
Ho probably knows that I will gouge him,
for he is no fooL But he knows me, and it
is always more pleasant to lie gouged by a
friend or a man you know than by a
stranger. So I enter up, ‘Two imported, 25
cents.’ You are smoking one of them now.
You know what it cost. You know I can
buy a dozen /if them for 25 cents. They a. e
not a bad cigar, however. Fact is, you
can’t get a good cigar in a country town.
But I have told you enough of my business.
I have missed my train, and by walking
around for the balance of the day I’ll be
able to ring in about $1 more for hotel ex
penses. The homo etlica doesn’t expect me
to starve.”

From the .Veir York Tribune.
I left Verona at 10 o’clook in the morning,
gobbled a chicken in th, restaurant, de
vour Jd it on the train, reached Venice at 2,
where I had telegraph*! ahead for a gon
dola, did every canal, place of interest,
ancient thing aud modorn shop there was by
7, then spent two hours in the evening in
the main canal listening to the serenades
and looking at tie) beauties hanging out
of the bale juies. I took the train
at 11: SO for Milan and got there
at 5 o’clock in th* morning, tele
graphed ahead for a cab and a cap of cof
fee, did the Grand Cathedral, did every
thing there was in the town that wa to be
seen—that was oDen —and opened the places
that were not. [ I .slighter. ] I was anxious
to see La Seala, the great opera house of
Milan, to know how it compared with our
own Metropolitan Opera House.
The guardian at the door said: “La
Seala opens f r neither prince nur | easaut
until 11 o’clock.”
I said: “I am neither.” [lAughter.l “I
am .a sovereign.” [Ronewo l laughter.]
“Well,” he siid, “it is utterly impossible.*
1 hold up to him an Italian com that loosed
as large as a cart wheel to his eye at that
hour in the morniug, and I said; “Do you
think you could find a man who has more
authority than yuf (Eaught-r. J Ho
thought he could. [ Laughter.] That man
appeared.
Said he; “My dear sir, this is utterly im
possibh*.” I held up a gold coin.
“Well," said he, “there are circum
stances." [lAUghter.] And I saw all there
was of La Seala, in which more reputation i
have been nmdo and more lost among tho
nrtists of tho world tbau in all th, other
theaters and opora houses put together; and
after studying it carefully, and after listen-'
jng to uiv conductor, who kept repeating:
"Nothing in the world like En Seala; noth
ing so lai go; nothing that wili seat so many
people as La Seala; nothing which gives
such full resonance to tho voice, such opp >r
tunltios to illo artist as La Seala.” I stl 1
thought that if I had my choice to make,
and if I had the money, I would buv the
Metropolitan opera house rather than Ex
Seala.
