[After Liszt’s “Second Rhapsody.”]
Heavy with sullen fear, he moved with •
stealtisy tread,
And the rain dank sod gave form to his steps,
and from under his brows,
Black as the heart of a storm at midnight, his
glance was shed.
Furtively there and here, and before him the
fcight birds fled from their unseen boughs.
Grinding his passions fine in the mill of his
half mad soul.
Ho crept, the peasant who knew but one
black fact of it all—
He was the victim; they, the rich, the crafty,
had stole
His rights; they had trod on his heart as one
might crush a mole in one footfall.
“God, where is he, and why, who leaves his
people to writhe
Under the devil’s rule? For the poor aro his
people, clear;
The rich are the devil’s, and God should give
to them not a tithe
Of the joys of heaven, they who revel in
heaven here.
“Curse them! Curse them! Curse them!” His
fury rose in his throat,
And he choked it back with his hands and
choked it back with his will.
And his plodding step went on till down in
I the shades remote
He sank with hunger and slept, and his
stormy soul was still.
THE DIIEAM.
The lords and ladies have come to seo
The peasants at work in the meadow.
They are quaffing wine, and many there be
Who know no stress nor shadow.
The reapers ply with a sullen eye;
With sweat their arms are dripping.
They hear the glass as they reap and pass
And the pages lightly tripping.
The laughter smites their work worn ears
Like the stinging of a nettle.
“Work!” cries their lord midst merry cheers;
“Work, each man on his mettle 1”
The dark browed peasants lower bend,
The lashing whip falls o’er them.
One looks at his knife and one at his friend,
Then all at the lords before them.
No tiger sprang with a fiercer roar
As he oleft his prey asunder.
The ground is ruddy and all is o’er;
Then ho, for the wine and plunder!
*******
The deed is done, and the slaves have won,
And the masters lio all dead in the sun.
And the wine has risen to dullard brains
Till eyes gleam blood and madness reigns.
And faster and faster rings the shout
And the peal of laughter from every lout
As they trample the grain in ecstaey
That tho food of tyrants it ne’er can be.
Madder, madder the voices rise.
To echo back from the unmoved skies.
Wilder, wilder gleam the eyes,
And fiercer the dance in the first surprise
Of unknown freedom and undreamed bliss:
“And the rich, have they always glowed like
this,
With fire coursing through every vein?
Then God has come to his poor again.”
And he will not give, oh, never fear.
His heaven to those who know no pain,
But revel thus in their heaven here.
—Louise Morgan Sill in New York Sun.

Bald faced Bill stumbled, almost
fell, recovered himself, then stood
stock still, and turning his head
looked appealingly into his master’s
eyes.
YVhat’s th’ matteh, Bill?” asked
Sam. “Cast a shoe? D—n ’f ye
hain’t,” ho continued after dis
mounting and examining the foot
tho horso held np for inspection.
‘‘Ought t’ ’ave had ye fixed up
more’n two weeks hack, ole hoss.
He took out his knife—a sort of pock
et blacksmith and carpenter shop—
deftly removed tho rest of the nails
by which the shoe hung to the hoof,
put the shoe in his pocket, then
stood up and scratched his head.
This was serious business. Here
ho was, over 60 miles away from
homo, and in a hurry to get there,
in a sparsely settled portion of the
country, and without tho slightest
idea of where or how ho was going
to find a place where he might get
that shoo reset. True, ho had no
business riding an animal that re
quired tho services of a farrier, but
Bill was not a native horse, and hav
ing worn shoes when Sam first got
him he had been kept shod ever
since.
It was twenty odd miles back to
Taborville, whence Sam had started
that morning, and he disliked the
idea of returning that distance just
to have a shoo set, so after some
minutes’ meditation he decided to
go ahead and trust to luck, and after
walking about three miles—a pain
ful task for a cowboy—he ‘‘met np
with” a man traveling in the other
direction, who, much to his relief,
told him that there was a crossroads
just ahead in the timber, with a
store and a blacksmith shop situated
closo by.
Sam thanked him and passed on,
father in j but presently, much to his surprise,
the stranger turned and galloped
back to him. “L thought I’d tell
ye,” he said, ‘‘bein as yo’re a stran
ge^ th’t ye’d best not dally raound
that place none, an don’t drink noth
in. Ye see,” he went on to explain,
“they’s be’n fellahs turned np
a-missin th’t was heerd of last right
’bout yero. Nothin wa’n’t nevah
proved, but it’s a purty good place
f’r t’ fight shy of, I reckon.”
‘‘Good! You bet I’m right glad
ye tol me, I sho’ am. I don’t think
I’ll dally none whatevah.” Then
Sam and tho friendly stranger part
ed, and Sam found his way to the
Crossroads.
The blacksmith was at work when
he came along, hut assured him he
would attend to Bill “in a jiffy.”
Four or five men were loafing about
the place, and they at once proceeded
to take note of and comment upon
np,
agree with him.
The blacksmith’s “jiffy” lasted
until almost 6 o’clock, and while ho
was engaged on Bill’s foot the loaf
ers wandered out, ono at a time,
and disappeared up tho hillside, pre
sumably in the direction of a house,
and this reminded Sam that it was
supper timo and that he was hungry.
“ ’Bout suppeh time, strangeh,”
said tho blacksmith suddenly as
though divining the man’s thoughts.
“Hadn’t ye bettah come npan graze
with we all an let th’ job go f’r a
hit?”
“Cain’t do it, pardner,” Sam re
plied somewhat hastily, thereby con
firming tho other in a certain sus
picion ho held concerning Sam—i.
a., that ho was a marshal’s or sheriff’s
deputy—“ ’cause, yo see, I got t’ he
a-movin right peart, an gittin t’
Rio. ’Bliged t’ ye, all th’ same. I’ll
jes’ go ovah t’ th’ store an git a
smack w’ile ye finish th’ job.”
There was a little, faded, sharp fea
tured woman behind the counter in
the little store, and her keen black
eyes studied Sam critically as sho
proceeded to serve him with the
cheese and crackers he called for.
Presently a tall, big, square shoul
dered fellow oame in and stood by the
door, and tho woman went and join
ed him. They conversed in low
whispers for about a minute, and
Sam, dimly suspicious, glanced at
them two or three times. The last
timo he saw that they were looking
at him. Then the woman, with a
half laugh, shrugged her thin shoul
ders and said aloud as the big man
turned to go out:
“Quien sahe? Qnien sabo?”
The moment the big man was
gone, however, she hastened to tho
back of tho store, looked into the
barroom, apparently to make certain
that it was unoccupied, then came
np to Stires, who was hastily gob
bling his lunch, and asked in a
whisper, “Strangeh, ho yc a dop-
’ty?”
“Me? No, o’ co’so not. Whut —
“Co’se,” said tho woman, with an
impatient gesture, “I might ’a’
knowed ye wouldn’t say so ef ye
was. Look yere, ” she went on hasti
ly, coming closer and laying a hand
on hisarm. “ Y’re in danger, mister.
Le’ me tell ye, w’ile I’ve got th’
ebanst, th’t yo wantuh git out o’
this real quick, an, say, don’t take
th’ Rio trail fur. Leave it a mile
out an cut ’cross to’ds Amity Fo’ks.
Heah me?”
“Yes’m, I sho’ do. But wbut”—
“Don’t stop t’ ast no fool ques
tions. That big fellah’s Nod Flynn,
an yere’s w’ero ’e hangs out a lot.
Thoy’ll git yo ef ye don’t look out.
I’m tellin yo this ’cause—’causo—
well, nevah min’. Only git a move
on.”
Sam lost no time in seeing that
Bill was properly “fixed,” and get
ting started ho took tho strange lit
tle woman’s advice and turned to
ward Amity Forks, thereby preserv
ing, no doubt, a whole skin. He
asked himself many times why the
woman should havo taken tho trou
ble to warn him, hut was unablo to
find any reason for it.
As a matter of fact, the woman
herself could have given no reason
beyond that essentially' feminine
‘because.”
TALES OF DELAWARE SHAD. J
lome of the Bis Ones That Were Caa(bt |
in Former Tears.
The reader who is interested in 1
fish and fishing can find in a roport
of the Pennsylvania fish commis
sion a deal of matter about old and
new methods of taking fish, stories
(authentic) of big catches and big
fish and descriptions of the methods
adopted by the pirates who deplete
the waters regardless of the rights
of others.
In the early days of the Delaware
settlements neither tho Dutch, Ger
man nor English settlors on the
lower part of the stream cared
enough for shad to uso nets of any
kind in taking them. It was not tho
proper thing socially to eat shad.
If any ono of social distinction was

But before Sam had timo to think • queer voice. — — ,. a n f

gentleman was expected in a few in his wife’s lap and did not look
The face of Ned Flynn haunted
Sam. Why it is impossible to say,
for Sam Stires, like the rest of his
family, was not at all imaginative.
There was nothing remarkable about
the faco of Flynn, the outlaw, ex
cepting the fact that it belied the
character of its owner, being a
square, honest faco, with two clear,
honest blue eyes, while Flynn—well,
everybody within 100 miles of the
line knew what he was. Neverthe
less that faco bothered Sam all the
■way homo and for two or three days
afterward, and he could think of no
reason for its constant appearance
before his mental vision until one
afternoon shortly after his arrival
home ho started out for the Huston
place to see Mat. Then, as ho forded
a creek near the Huston ranch, he
remembered the man he had met
there one time, who, ho had been
told after his arrival at the house,
was Harry Armstrong, his much
heard of but never before seen rival
for Mat’s affections. And ho remem
bered now that the stranger’s face
was the faco of Ned Flynn, outlaw
and “rustier.”
After making this startling dis
covery he rode more slowly, in or-
dor to recover his mental equilibri
um. He was in doubt how to act in
Hie matter, for he was by no means
absolutely certain that ho was cor
rect, and ho knew that to tell Mat of
his discovery and then find that he
was mistaken would jeopardize, if
not ruin, his own chances with her.
Wherefore he resolved to proceed
with caution and to assure himself
that he was right before going ahead
“Say, Bart,” ho asked in a confi
dential tone of Mat’s brother, who
rode a mile or two with him on his
homeward way lato that night
“who’s this yere man Armstrong,
anyways?”
Bart Huston laughed. “Gittin
scairt o’ ’im, Sam? Didn t s pose he
was worryin ye at all, I sho’ didn t. ’
“Oh, I don’t, car’ p’tic’lar,” said
Sam hastily, with a gesture of dep
recation. “On’y I’m jes’ sort o
cur’us ’boot ’im, that’s all.”
“Waal, fact is I d’no’s I know
much about th’ duck,” confessed
days on a visit to Mat, and this in-;
formation, volunteered by Bart, j
whom he met on the range, decided j
Sam—who had been at the point of i
deciding for about two years—on a
course of action, and the very next
day he rode over to see Mat.
As he rode up to the house he no
ticed that it looked singularly quiet,
and—so timid was he by this time—
he almost hoped the “folks” were
all away, and that he could again
postpone asking Mat the question
he had so long been wanting, yet
fearing, to ask. But Mat herself met
him at the door.
“W’y, howdy, Sam!” sho ejacu
lated. “I’m right glad t’ see ye!
Didn’t know f’r sho’ but what ’twas
some one a-comin t’ carry me off !”
“I’ve a right good notion t’ doit,”
said Sam, with what he considered
remarkable audacity, and then he
failed to follow up this opening, hut
asked, “Bo ye all alone, Mat?”
“I sh’d say alone! Maw V paw’s
gone t’ taown, Bart an ev’ry han’s
aout on th’ range, an even ol Man-
uela’s done skipped—went ovah on
th’ creek to a greaser fun’ral. But
go an put Bill up an come in. We’ll
have snppeh right soon.”
Sam soon returned to the kitchen
and sat there, with eyes and mouth
open, watching Mat as she flitted
gracefully about the room preparing
supper. *He took in every detail of
the tall, lithe figure, the pretty face
and the thick, tawny hair, with its
little curls that clustered about her
neck. He wondered if she would
ever let him handle those curls.
“Well, come ’n graze, Sammy,”
she said finally. “I reckon they
ain’t but ns two t’ eat this time.”
“Wondeh whut she’d say ef I sh’d
tell ’er I wish’t it was jest us two
al’ays?” thought Sam. But he did
not say it, being very timid and very
hungry besides. After supper, how
ever, they sat out in the “gallery,”
and Mat gave him an opportunity to
speak.
“Seems fanny, don’t it, f’r jestus
two t’ he a-sittin yere? ’ ’ the girl said,
smiling at him frankly.
Sam swallowed spasmodically; his
throat hurt him. “Why not f’r al
’ays, Mat?” he said finally in a
husky voice. “Mat, darlin, s’pose
me an ye fix it up t’ ho t’getbah
revah? Don’t—don’t stop me, ” he
went on as tho girl rose to her feet
and would havo spoken. “I ho n
tryin t’ say it fr two yeahs. Mat,
will ye marry me?”
The girl had ono arm across her
eyes and was sobbing. “Oh, I wish’t
ye hadn’t, Sam! I wish’t yo hadn’t
a’ spoken! I hain’t treated ye right,
Sam, I hain’t. I”—
“Wit-why”—
“I s’pose I got t’ tell yo, Sam,”
she said more steadily, but with eyes
averted. “Ef I got t’tell ye—oh,
Sam, I was married t’ Harry Arm
strong last winteh, w’on I was ovah
on th’ Pecos!”
Sam sank limply hack in his chair.
‘Yo don’t mean it! Ye sho’ don’t
mean it, Mat!” he gasped. But the
girl nodded her head affirmatively
and hit a corner of the handkerchief
she held to her eyes.
“I cain’t h’lieve it, Mat, I sho’
cain’t!” said poor Sam plaintively.
“Le’ me think.”
So engrossed were they that they
had not heard the sound of galloping
hoofs, and both were startled when
some one reined up suddenly almost
np, seeming to care not at all what
happened next.
Then Sam did something that sur
prised himself. “Git inside, ye

Turning round, to his 1 consterna
