ALL THIS ON A COLD BLI'FF.
Stranded Showman Who llitd |||,
Nerve With llim.
From the New York Sun.
It Isn’t so," said the stereoptiean men
emphatically. "No, sir! They say a
bluffll carry further in New York than
anywhere on earth, but I know different.
'Tißn't so long since I put up one of the
longest t,luffs on record, anil it wasn’t in
New Y’ork, neither.”
"Where was it” asked the advance
agent.
"Well, I don't exactly like to sav, be
cause If I give it away it might kinder
spoil the social standing of one of the
leadin' lights of that town, and I don’t
want to do that, because he an' me is
pals, see?"
"Then how did you work it?" asked the
advance agent.
The stereopiican man tore a leaf out of
his contract book, lighted it at the gas
and ignited his cigar. "It was this way,”
he said. For two minutes he remained
silent, and then went on. “Two years
ago last fall me and Billy Mason were
hilling the small towns with a cinegraph
oscope outfit. In Northern Ohio we did
pretly well, but when we struck Eastern
Michigan we found ourselves up against
it the worst way. It was a frost from
start to finish. A man had been through
there with a cinematograph about two
months before, showing a line of pictures
Just like ours, and the Michigan Jays
didn't propose to pay twice for seeing the
same article. The consequence was that
pretty soon the nap wore off. the velvet
we had accumulated In Ohio, and after
a bit we hod to sell our machine to a
Baptist Sunday school so's to get money
to come on to New York, The price was
$165 and the Baptist deacons made good
like gentlemen. They wanted me to set
the machine up in the Sunday school and
show them how to run It, so I handed the
money over to Billy Mason, and me and
the deacons started for the Sunday school
with the cinegraphoscope ahead on a
wheelbarrow. We got the machine up nil
right, but those deacons were the hard
est proposition I ever stacked up against.
They had the Sunday school wired for
incandescent lamps, so there was no trou
ble about a light, but the deacons had
about as much idea of voltage and the
positive current us I have about the high
er criticism. However, I mude them
think that p'raps they understood it all
and "then started for the hotel on a run,
so's to get supper and catch the 7 o'clock
for Detroit.
"Billy met me nt the door. Say, did
y'ever see the picture of the King o'
France after the battle of Batavia? It
was at the muse* once. Seems that sonic
other King got In on his solar plexus, an'
when the artist snap-shotted him he was
Just cornin' to, an' shoutin': ‘All Is lost
but honor.' Well, Billy Mason looked Just
like he was the King o’ France,
Seems that after the deacons an’ me
went over to the Sunday school Billy went
and paid the board bill, an' settled at the
bar, an' squared off with the electric lignt
people and did the gentleman by every,
body, and, when he was through th -re
was Just $125 left. Then he went out to
watch some boys flshln’ on the stone
bridge. Seems that Billy was sittin' on
the parapet with a hoy each side of him
when their lines got tangled and one of
the hooks stuck in a crack about two feet
below, and the boys couldn’t reach it. Now,
Billy was always a good-natured guy, so
he hung himself down over the parapet
and got the hook out. He'd Just straight
ened up again when he saw a roll of
greenbacks floatin' in the river.
"'Hello,' says Billy, 'look at the green,
backs. Somebody's lost his wad.'
"Ho grabbed a rod and Itcgan angling
for them, but he didn't do a thing but dra -
the roil out of the slack water by the
pier and in half a second the current
caught 'em and they went dancing down
the river and out of sight. Billy ran for
a boat and erased out into the stream
bit he never even got a sight of them
afterward. In half an hour he came luck
and a man mol him as he landed
'"That'll cost you half a dollar ■ savs
the man.
" 'What for?' shouts Billy,
"Didn't you swipe my boat?' savs the
man.
"And of course Billy couldn't deny it
But he went through pocket after pocket
ami couldn't raise a cent.
•' Say. wha d'ye think of that • i,e
says, a minute ugo I had a hundred and
a quarter, an' now. b'gee, I can't find i

" 'Down the river, I reckon,’ *ay* the

his an’ liegan to look like the King o’
France after tlie battle of Batavia, He’d
been lookin' like that half an hour when
I came in. Say. what d’ye think of that?
Wasn't it a frost? And we couldn’t raise
the price of a chew of tobacco between
us!"
"It certaln’y was dead tough,” said the
advance agent.
"Well,” continued the stereoptiean man,
“wc told the landlord how the assets of
the firm had gone floatin' down the creek,
and say, he was a peach. 'Never mind,
boys,' he says, ‘you go out an’ see if you
can dig up some kind of a Job an' mean.-
while you can stay right on as my guests?
Now, say, what d'ye think of that?”
“He certainly was good to you,” said the
advance agent.
"Just then in comes a man named Jen
kins that ran a stationery store,” the
stereoptiean man continue, "and the land
lord stops him, and tel!e how Billy got
separated from the bills and then he said.
" ‘Say, Jenkins,' can’t you think of some
thing for these chaps to do?’
“ ‘Wei!,’ says Jenkins, ‘there’s old man
Gaylord. Since Charley skinned out his
books have been ail mixed up and I guess
the old man doesn’t know where he's at,
I heard him say he'd have to get an ex
pert?
“ 'ls he well fixed?’ says I.
•‘"Bout $150,000? says Jenkins.
" ‘Liberal?’ says I.
" ‘He's nature's nobleman,’ says Jen
kins.
" ‘Will you put me next him?' says I.
“ 'Sure,' says Jenkins. ‘Come to my
place at 9 to-morrow, and I'll do it?
“Then the landlord set ’em up, and me
and Billy went to our room.
" ‘Say? says Billy, when the door was
shut, 'what kind of a song and dance is
this? You ain't no expert?
“ Why ain't I?' says I. 'Didn't I go
through Commercial College at Syracuse?
Didn't I run the books at the sawmill In
Schenectady? This old guy probably don’t
know a trial balance from a stovelid. Any-
Tsow, he nature's nobleman, and I've got
my nerve with me?
"Well, the next day I shaved clean, put
on a black coat, borrowed -the landlord’s
plug hat, and applied for the Job. Say, I
was lookin’ like a Wall street banker in
that hat, and the old man fell right into
my arms. It was the easiest thing I ever
struck, and 1 agreed to begin work that
afternoon. Jenkins had gone away after
introducing me, but I met him when I
was cornin' away, and he says;
" 'Say, there's another vacant Job. Ono
of the teachers up to the business college
died yesterday, and old man McLaughlin
wants a teacher in his place?
“ 'Ail right,' says-I, 'that'll just do for
Billy Mason?
• "Well? says Jenkins, 'can lie fill It?'
“ 'Why certainly? says I. 'Will you in
troduce him?'
" Sure? says Jenkins.
” 'Well, I made an appointment for Billy
to meet Jenkins in half an hour, and went
back to the hotel.
" 'Did you get it?' shouts Billy as soon
as he saw me.
“ 'Too dead to skin,’ says I, ‘and one for
you, too. They want a teacher up to the
commercial college. You go and nail the
job. You can give me as a reference?
"Say, you ought to seen Billy. IBs mouth
Just fell open and then he broke into a
howl of laughin' ’ you could hear half a
block away.
“ 'You?' he says. 'Y'ou for a reference!
Ain't you a gay old reference? Say, who
d’ye think you are?'
“ ‘I guess I’m the expert from New Y'otk
that's exportin' the books of the Gaylord
wagon factory? says I. 'Say, ain't that a
good enough reference for you? Didn't you
go through business college with me at
Syracuse? Didn't you go through the state
normal school at Oswego?'
“ 'Just as a scholar, not as a teacher. I
never learned to teach? says Billy.
“ ‘Say, isn’t a scholar bred In New York
as good us a teacher bred in Michigan?
Didn't you keep books in a dry goods
store at Y’onkcrs for six months? Say,
where's your nerve?’
“ 'Well, Billy put on his good clothes,
and I lent him the landlord's silker and he
went up with Jenkins to see McLaughlin.
In half an hour he was hack.
" 'Well,' he said. 'I put on all the side
I knew iiow, but I guess it’s no go. He
said he’d see?
“ 'Never mind? says I. 'To-morrow I'll
go sec him myself?
"So next day 1 mounted the landlord's
high dk-e and called at the Commercial
College, and when I looked Just as much
like a banker as when I landed the wagon
man. I sunk all the slang and watched
sharp after my grammar. Say, If you’d
heard me talk you'd thought It was Dr.
Parkhural. The old guy tipped me a chair
and I Introduced gnyself and said I'd Just
dropped In. thinking that the cares of bus
iness would probably make It difficult for
him to call upon me. Then I mentioned
Billy's name.
•' •Well,’ ne says, ’l'm extremely sorry,
but 1 liar Mr. Mason will not suit?
"For hslf a nnnutc I never said a word.
Then t said, very slowly: Trufe.sor, if you
knew that young mail's capability a* wi ll
a* I know It, and u well as many others
know it, I don't believe you would say
that?
“ ‘Well, well? says the old man, ‘well,
well, 1 may have been mistaken, but he
did not strike me as a likely teacher!'
" 'Professor? says I, 'talkin' like a par
son at a christening, 'lf you care to give
Mr. Mason a trial, you will change your*
opinion on that score?
"The old man looked a little rattled, and
then said he thought Billy lacked dig

“The old man hemmed and hawed, and

month on the way from Chicago I dropped
off at Detroit, and the first man I ran into
was old McLaughlin.
" ‘Mr. Stearns.’ he says, ‘I owe you a
debt of gratitude.'
“ 'About >lr. Mason?’ says I. 'Don’t
mention it. I knew he couldn't fail.’
" 'That young man,' said the old guy, 'is
one of the most admirable I have ever
known. He's the best teacher I ever had,
and the staff and pupils all respect him.
Did he tell you he was married?’
“Well, sir, I like to have dropped dead
when I heard that, and I guess 1 forgot
my grammar and my manners, too.
“ ‘The devil, you say,’ says I. 'Who to?’
and the old man looked like he had been
shot.
“ ‘Mr. Stearns,' says he. ‘l’m sorry to
hear you use that word. Mr. Mason never
swears. He Is married to my daughter,
sir, and has a half interest in the business.
And, sir, I am glad and proud of It.’
“And all that,’’ said the stereopticon
man, “came out of a cold bluff.”

From the Philadelphia Press.
Wheeling. W. Va., April 21.—Mr. Bcrk
ltam of the Free Will Brethren Church
is also or.e of Sheriff H. S. White’s best
deputies.
The sheriff frequently gives him big
bundles of papers to serve as he makes
his monthly trips over his circuit. Last
night, at Spunlshburg, the congregation
gathered for divine- worship, as the preach
er could not slay till Bunduy.
After he had given out the hymn and
had read the text, Rev. Mr. Uerkhatn
noticed two fugitives in the congregation
for whom he had warrants. Mr. Berk
ham quietly drew hi* revolver, walked
down the aisle, placed the men under ar
rest, handcuffed them, fastened the hand
cuffs with a chain to the pulpit and pro
ceeded with the sermon as though nothing
hail happened. He deputised four men to
lake the prisoners to Minefield to-day, aud
proceeded on big circuit.
