lam Merritt rrit angrily to his
eon Albert, one day memor-
' able in the lives of both.
^ i'iiam Merritt was what
ximV' W\ S the people called “a hard
man to get along with.” He
was hard, just, sincere and
severe, lie be-an mature life as a fiutboat
captain, aid finished his training as sheriff of
an Indiana ecu uty. A born ruler, at 50 years
of age he knew absolutely nothing of
methods save stern command any
for and force ready
instant application To this he added a
habit of perpetual fault finding.
He had been going over the hoary harangue,
v ith which some old people have insulted
young ones since the days of Homer, about
the good boys and the industrious young men
of his early life and the degenerate sons of
these days, when Albert s satirical humor

the father. 1 ‘ \\ hat'il you be at my age?”
'I suppose, 1 ’ sa.it 1 Albert, unconsciously
imitating his father's sneer, “I’ll do like other
old men— sit and tell lies about the big things
I did when I was a boy.”
It was one of those insults which some inen
consider “the fii-t blow,” and the second fell"
promptly. Rui-1:1.4 hw broad, ri^ht liand,

expert in eva.Avo tricks, at lb ho was simply
a prodigy
These two had met and conferred often—

nity, and 1 he finished trickster, whose father

known to all the community that they had
left the place
Of farewells the boys had said none.
Albert had indeed writ ten a brief note to
his mother, in which ho had bidden her a
good-by full of cl’.; •*;!’> worded tenderness,

that individual, fearful that the route of de¬
parture would be guessed by the postmark,
calmly destroyed them, although ho solemn¬
ly declared to Albert that he had deposited
them in the post office of a considerable town
through which they journeyed. And so the
two boys were quite cut. off from the old
world of semi-servitude.
That a father should be irry for the flight
of u son is but natural ; tha' t he should, u hile
a spark of pride or anger iger remains, remains, tell tell an any
of his sorrow v would would bo bo contrary contrary t to all
recorded precedents in such such cases. cn William
Merritt was not the man an to to violate prece-
dents of discipline. He ‘ held held himself I stlftly,
waved away the subject complacently, ompl and
said when he spoke nt all: “Oh, he’ll soon get
sick of his flirt—he'll be glad enough to come
back.” But late summer yielded to autumn,
and autumn gave place to winter, and a sad
Christmas day had come, for Albert Merritt
had made no sign.
When Helen Blake w as told that Albert
Merritt was a “runaway boy” she merely
said, “Ah, indeed,” and bent very low over
her work; hut she knew why he had gone—
knew it, indeed, about as well as ho did.
Ere long she aud Mrs. Merritt seemed to
have a good deal to say to each other. They
seldom if ever mentioned Albert, but it al
ways seemed that the mother was much
cheered after a visit from Helen. In her own
desponding heart the mother said: “He will
never come back, he is too much like his
father,” a favorite delusion with mothers,
by the way. And so, on this sad Christmas
day, the two sorrowful women exchanged
deep sympathies without exchanging a word
on the subject nearest their hearts, and tho
mother felt that night as if volumes had
been spoken on the subject, when iu fact it
had not been mentioned. And thereafter
Helen came oftener and ofteuer, and some¬
how after each visit the mother felt an as¬
surance that all would be right, and felt it
just the same whether Albert's name was
mentioned or not.
Now, after tho first shock wag passed,
Helen Blake never felt a doubt in her bosom
that she would in good time receive some
word from Albert Merritt, and she would
have risked much on her conviction that she
would hear before either of his parents,
though she could not have told you why, and
probably would not if she could, for the best
farm in Jackson township. Yet she knew it
all the same, and visited the Merritts often,
and at each visit it somehow fell out that
aethin# rather sing' pilar hapiieued. ppeL
)n cne occasion she ’ grew ? quite hilarious in
reminiscences of a ceruun rtnin school sruuui ciuiumu.., exhibition,
and told how the teacher had photographs of
the whole class taken, a set for all, and how
childish the pictures looked now, and how
every body had changed, though it was but
six years ago, and then she brought out the
photographs—cheap, tawdry things they
were, but among them was ono of a tall, fair
boy, with all the glow of class leadership in
bis eye, and light, hair curling around a bold
forehead, and under it. in round boyish script,
was the autograph, “Albert Merritt
A pang shot through the father’s heart,
and he longed for her to talk of his boy; bat
she rattled on about Tom and Jennie and
Mattie, and soon hastened home.
But the mother noticed that Helen “had
forgotten her pictures,” and so they lay on
the looking glass ass stand for many a day,
where the father often saw the presentiment
of his boy, but he never touched it, and they
lay there till Helen came again.
This time she brought a “story paper” for
Mrs. Merritt, saying that the main st«.r ,rv
it had interested Irr very much; and afu
die was gone William Merritt picked it up
sud pished and pshawed and ridiculed the
pictures, but he read the story.- It was a
tommoupls.ee novelette of a son, who had fl«l
from a harsh father and enlisted in the Fed-
sral army, and who was sick almost unto
jeatb iu a southern hospital, and how in de¬
lirium be babbled of home, and how a Sister

young people present were of that last day
clas* at the head of which Albert Merritt had
stood. Of couruu Helen Blake never thought
of alluding to such a fact—“it just happened
so, her parents thought—hut there were
plenty In a class of eight young people who
could talk as fast as they could think, and
usually did it, too. And so the conversation
rattled on about that glorious day, and the
father, whose heart was literally pounding
against his ribs, aud whose internal strug¬
gles were such that he could not tell whether
he was eating turkey rcy or or dak oak chips, chips, talked
_
loudly loudly and and aggressively aggressively to to those those at ( his end

pick of his hon-Vs agin’ a yearlin’ calf” that

500,000 majority over any man tho other side
could put up next year.
JUMPED TO THE GROUND.
Nov. Helen was quite satisfied iu her own
mind that the little surprise had done its
work, but that evening her brother brought
home the weekly mail, aud in it, after all her
weary waiting, a little surprise for her. It
was a copy of The Tekeewah (Kan.) Bugle,
aud great was the wonder in the family as to
the why and wherefore of its coming; but
Helen knew. There wasn’t a mark of any
kind on tho printed sheet, so she set herself
resolutely to read every line. Never had far
western publisher iu the most heated cam¬
paign a more devoted reader, aud at last,
in a leaded article in the page beaded
“Local Intelligence," she found a list of
members of a new fire company, and among
the names was “Albert Merritt.” A writer
in tho “County Correspondence” of the
next issue of The County Democrat told of
“our fail- ladies who charmed the audience
with their music” at a certain Christmas eve
church festival, and, by request conveyed in
a note inclosing the stamps, the publisher di¬
rected a copy to “A .Merritt, Esq., Tekeo-
wah, Kan.” And this sort of thing wept on
for eight months more, and the golden au¬
tumn set in and the country was m^st
nightily stirred over the presidential press elec¬
tion, and the Biukes and the !• Merritta M began
to look forward with strangely mingled,feel¬
ing-- to another Christmas.
W illiam Merritt was the same and vet not
the same. His hair, which was just streaked
with gray when Ids son Albert had left him,
was now w hitening visibly. Hi* broad, bur¬
ly shoulders had beg: . to stoop. His hard
eyes’had lost sonicviiat of tlieir steadiness,
and occasionally there were lines denoting
mental pain pai visible in Ida austere eounte-
nance. His voice, too, t. sometimes quavered
in a way that astonished no no one one more more tnan than
himself. And one day just after the sorrel
colt—a the saddle wild -had vicious almost beast, thrown he was him breaking the .to
on
wa v to I tosvn, lie had caught himself nself audibly audibly
ivishi mg tb.it Albert, who must Ire a fuli
grown, strong man by this time, were there to
help subjugate the animal.
“CAN’T WE tiET ALBERT BACKi”
And so when Helen next paid the Merritt
homestead a visit she found the fortress of the
old man’s heart ready to yield. She had the
day before received a copy of The Tekeewah
Bugle, in which she found the following
paragraph half way down a crudely written
account of a fire in that enterprising town:
“We should utterly fail in our duty to our
readers if we omitted to take more than pass¬
ing note of the heroic conduct of one of our
young townsmen, a prominent and efficient
member of Avalanche Engine company No.
1. Of course we refer to Mr. Albert Merritt,
than whom a braver man never drew
No sooner had it become known that a child
was in the burning building than, at the risk
of his own life, Mr. Merritt rushed into the
smoke and flames, dashed up the stairs almost
at a bound, and, groping about in the stifling
heat, found the infant, fought his way through
the fire to the window, for by this time the
stairway was burning, and jumped to the
ground with his precious burden safe on his
arms. He was greeted with such a cheer as
only Tekeewah throats can give. We regret
to bo obliged to add that Mr. Merritt suffered
a painful, though not necessarily dangerous,
injury in the breaking of an arm, which was
struck by a falling timber. He was also
rather severely burned. It is hoped, how¬
ever, that he will soon be himself again.”
This paper Helen brought with her but
carefully hidden. She had determined,
need be, to show it to the stern father,
she proposed to hold it for the last resort.
But her manner (for, though ordinarily calm,
she was now much excited) betrayed her,
and as soon as William Merritt looked into
her face be knew that she knew something of
Albert; and her unwonted agitation, as he
gazed fixedly at her, convinced him that
something was amiss with his son. Mrs.
Merritt was about to speak when her hus¬
band interrupted her in strained, quivering
t0
“Helen Blake,” he said, “is Albert dead)
Tell me the truth 1”
There was a world of paternal love in
old man’s voice now. But for a
Helen said nothing, for she felt that were she
to speak she would Instantly and completely
lose her self control. So with a
gesture and a white face she walked to
window to compose herself, while the
and mother waited in suspense. After a
tle she turned again to them, and, with a re¬
assuring look toward Mi's. Blake, who sat
with clasped hands and parted lips, she took
the paper from her pocket. article from
“I would like to read to you an
The Tekeewah (Kansas) Bugle.” she sai I. in
as steady a voice as she could command And
then she’ read the account of the fire, from
headlines to dash, without a break, and with
out looking up. When she had done she
raised her eyes. Mrs. Blake was crying qui¬
etly and the old man was quite broken down.
“Helen,” he said, reaching out both
to tho girl, “ft's no use, t can't he a bald¬
ened old fool no longer. ‘Cant we get
back here with usl Hadn't I better go
Kansas and get him? Poor boy, oiaj bo he**
ban worn than it saya” And then the old
man lot the tears flow oocotioaaWL
That night a latter was mailed to Tokoe
wab, Kao. It was written by Helen, though
unsigned, and hare tea copy; *N-
Mr. Albert Merritt:
The account of the recent lire ta Tekeewah and
the bravery displayed by yourself on that occa¬
sion ha* worked a great change of opinion In
certain quarters, a change w hich would hare
conic soon, however. In the natural course of

anxloua to see you. A Patron.
When Albert Merritt received this letter
he was convalescent, lying on tho bod of tho
best room in the Tokeowali tavern, whUo Sam
McCorkle was standing in the center of the
floor telling some admiring friends for the
thousandth time how “my pard here saved
that gal baby.” “I tail you,” bo said, “it
takes the boys from old Indianhy to do things.
Now, I mind me one time before I came west
of how little Jimmy Jones fell Into the river,
V I jumped right in without stopping to
peel a bit”- And then he reeled off a
wholly imaginary yarn of his own bravery,
while Albert smiled and the rest listened open
mouthed. When Albert had read his letter
he said, quietly:
“Sam, I’m going home for Christmas. ."/ I
shall start as soon as I can do it safely miy. y
8am was astounded, but he did not not ifcmon-
strati', and finally concluded to go, , tool “just
to take care of Al,” he explained to o tha. thd boys. boys.
But secretly he wets glad of the excuse.
The next issue of The Tekeewah Bugle con¬
tained this paragraph:
“Our well known townsman, Mr, Albert
Merritt, is about to visit his old home in In¬
diana, where he will probably spend the holi¬
day* He is very nearly well of tho injuries
sustained at the recent fire. IJo will be ac¬
companied by his fast friend, Mr. Sam Mc-
Corkle, the well known lightning rod agent.”
The stage was due to pass William Merritt’s
hohse at 4:30 o’clock on Christmas eve, but
the roads were bod and it was quite dark
when, with a sweeping curve, it swerved to
the side of the pike and stopped in front of
the house, in the open front doorway of which,
in strong silhouette against the flood of light
within, stood the burly form of William
Merritt, his hands outstretched with trem¬
bling hopefulness.
“Come along, Sam,” said one of the young
men who dismounted from the back seat of
the high stage, “I need you yet.”
There was a cry, in which recognition, wel¬
come and forgiveness were all blended from
the figure in the doorway, and an answer
from the taller of the travelers, who still car¬
ried one arm in a sling. And a moment later
William Merritt led this one into his house.
“Mother,” he said, “our boy has come
back.”
In the ecstatic joy of meeting his mother,
Albert had forgotten Sam McCorkle, and
when he looked fp? L him him that that individual individual had had
disappeared. As he afterward explained, he
“didn’t feel like .....any he was any use use when folks
was was all all a-cryin’MXl a-cryin’Msd a-weepin' a-weepin' and and failin’ failin' cm cm
each other’s necks, so he just sloped.”
But Albert did not look for Sam very long
He had much to tell of his now life iu the
west, where he had been fairly successful, and
bis father and mother and brothers and sis¬
ters had quite as much to tell him.
THERE WA3 A CRT.
The next day there was such a Christmas
gathering at William Merritt’s house as had
never been there before. Such roast turkey
with cranberry sauce, and such juicy mince
pies, and such mealy potatoes, and such flue,
white home made bread, and such good things
to eat generally as they who sat down at the
dinner table partook of have never been ex¬
celled. All] the Blakea were there, and so
were all tho members of that class of eight,
whose photographs were the first weapon
Helen had employed in storming William
Merritt’s flinty old heart.
And Sam McCorkle, too, the drunken shoe¬
maker’s son, full of far western dash and his¬
torian of the time “Al rescued the baby.”
He was “Mr. McCorkle,” an honored guest,
and no one received giealer respect than he.
Eut he did not rise to the height of his^glory
till evening, for at the dinner -able Albert
would not suffer his own praises to be sung
in too high n key But when Albert, seem¬
ing to have something particular to say to
Helen, whose great, brown eyes sparkled un-
wonfcedly and whose cheeks persisted in
blushing furiously, led her away with him
a quiet corner and left the field to Sara,
that individual chanted his hero’s deeds to
his heart’s content and every body vise's de¬
light, though ho did not let slip the oppor
tunitios to toil of some things he had himself
accomplished in the west.
Th« close of this veracious history may be
clipped from The Tekeewah Bugle of March
15, 1S69-.
“Mr. Samuel McCorkle, the gentlemanly
and enterprising agent for Flash Sc Hittem’s
htning rods, has returned

golden future sure to come to Tekeewah.

may seem surprising, but it is neverthe¬
less true, that the cutting of evergreens for
Christmas trees is doing serious damage to
the forests in some sections. This wholesale
destruction of valuable young trees is becom¬
ing painfully apparent in the gradual -wiping
out of woodland in some of the most pictur¬
esque portions of the CatekiU and Adiron¬
dack mountains, and many of the trout
streams are drying up. Even small forests
help to serve as reservoir* to water, for un¬

from rainfalls, and later on allowing it to es¬
