‘fiber nice families and some of us men.
It had come to be pretty well understood
Aat Charlie Fitzpatrick stood the best
ffiance of carrying off the prize. When
I tell you that old Hunnistan was re-
erred to in “Bradstreet's” as
“Hunnistan, Ralph —Broker—As,”
and that his daughter was a beauty, von
will doubtless surmise the identity of the
irize. She was a fine girl, weighed
i' out a hundred and forty, with reddish
bond hair, genuine color, and these yel-
ewish blond eyes that you don’t see
■very day. Her complexion off was mostly Ken-
rjnkish. She stepped like a
rucky thoroughbred, and had all the'

fled way-4-not a giggle, but a regular out
and out shaky laugh.
Charley had better success with her
than.I. him,"and She didn’t laugh so much with
serious fellow, was more dignified. He is a
and sbo always respected
his moods, and asked him questions on
his favorite topics, to draw him out and
sympathize with him. Charley is five
years older than I am. He's been around
a lot more, and seen the world pretty
deep, I can tell you. He says society is
a. hollow sham, and only empty-headed
people take to it; that for a manof any
depth it’s a great bore, and for his part
he’s through with it. He used to talk
to Mi£s Hunnistan that way for an hour
at a time, and she always agreed with
him. She left him abruptly sometimes;
Chasley said it was because she didn’t
care to have him sec how he impressed
her. He used to confess to her what a
.dissipated fellow he had been and how
lie had seen the folly of if, though, and
waj no longer dazzled by any' material
pleasure.
Wftti, by the most delicate indirection,
Chafley had given Miss Hunnistan to un¬
derstand that her fortune was the only
thing that stood between them; that he
was proud-spirited and afraid his motives
might, be misconsttued. He had got
along to where his levs chouid soon mas
tor all his sensitive apprehension, and
break forth in spite of the girl’s money.
That was the way he had it mapped
out.
One.evening, along the first of Aug¬
ust, a lot of us were sitting around
waiting to see who came up ou the
stage. Old Hunnistan had told us that
he was expecting a Western man up to
see him, almost any day, a real estate
agent that he had bought some property
of out in St. Paul or Salt Lake or around
there.* When' the stage came around the
bend, we saw a'man sitting up in front
and talking very '.chummy with the
driver. Old Hunnistan said: “That’s
Grifcishaw*”
He leaped down and shcok hands
with the old pan as if he had bean a
long lost brother, or something like
that, and hiirried inside with him with¬
out noticing the rest of us. He wa3 a
big, overgrown, lumbering’ sort of a
man, coarse looking, and took fright-
fuliy long jsteps when he walked. His
clothes weredoose and flapped all around
him. *
’After dinner we were sitting out on
the piaaea qnd this man Grimshaw tame
out apd began to walk up and down,
The first lima he ;>»«aad ua he csegbt
sight of Miss Hunnistan, and didn’t seem
to be able to take his eyes off. His man-
ner was disgracefully free and easy,
Every time be passed he stared at her
openly. I wondered whether old Hun-
nistan would introduce such a man to
his family. Just then he did one of the
most brazen, presumptuous things I ever
saw; he strode up to Miss Hunnistan,
tooh his hat off his big head and said:
“Well, so this is Miss Hunnistan, is
it? My name’s Grimshaw; of’n heard
your father speak of you, on his Western
And before the poor girl could re
cover, he was looking her square in the
eyes and shaking hands with her in the
most vulgar, hearty way imaginable. His
voice wasn’t exactly irritating, but it
was loud; you always heard what he
said. I must say that Miss Hunnistan be¬
haved with a great deal of tact- She
seemed really pleased with him, and in¬
troduced him to all of us. That didn’t
bother him any. He just nodded around
in a breezy, familiar way, and said he
was glad to know u?.
Then without paying any more atten-
tlon to us, he walked Miss Hunnistan
around the piazza for a full hour. They
chatted together like a boy and a girl,
she always looking up into his face as
if she felt a real interest in him; I never
saw her so full of laugh and talk as she
was that night.
This was not at all the right thing.
Charlie and I were anxious for morning
to come, so we could cut him and show
Jiim how much he was out of place.
Well, when we came down in the morn¬
ing, there he was with Haskins, the
landlord, old Huuuistaa and his wife,
and three or four others, talking away as
if he had known them for years, telling
hosv he had been up since five, and had
walked around the point four miles for a
sw i m _ wa ter like ice, too. Ho had
gathered a big bundle of ferns and
q owers a nd things, and gave it to old
j ac jy Hunnistau as if; it was a bouquet,
j couldn’t see why everybody he’talked, gathered
aroua( i him so when witli a
kj„ 'y“ laugh at abom- every other sentence.
u couldn’t tell anything about his
age . he might have been thirty-five, or
y ears older. He had a smooth, pink
complexion, like a girl's, a stubby red
mustache and squinty gray eyes. The
way he ate was positively indecent;
handled himself well enough, but the
quantity. He put away enough to run
a plow horse. It was provoking, but we
really bad no chance to cut him. He
barely noticed us, just gave a little nod,
and never looked to see wheth-
er we returned it. His man-
ner was the height of ill-breeding
—so indifferent and independent; but
you can’t cut a man when he never takes
much notice of you, except-to look at
you as if you were a deuce of a freak.
Chlrlej Allmorning said he must be taken down.
he wa3 busy with old flua-
afB-aom nifttn skith maps and deeds. In the
he joined our crowd as easy
a Jfsmdiar as c mid be. Charley and I
him Mr. Harkshaw, out he
wjdn’t have it; corrected us right
tlH. niKid Ho said he didn’t care for ten-
would like Mies Hunnistan to
show him about tho place. He said it in
a nervy, confident way that was irri¬
tating. Aud the Hunnistan girl was
quite willing—said she’d be delighted,
and he walked her off as if he oould have
the earth for the asking. Charley said:
“What an ill-bred savage, with as
much idea of propriety as an orangou-
tangl” He can be awfully cutting at
times.
We didn’t sec him again until evening,
when wo greeted him ns Mr. Rmnshaw.
Tie corrected us again, in his blunt, cold¬
blooded manner; lie was tho most uncon¬
ventional man that way. Miss Hunnis-
tan seemed fascinated by the fellow. In
the evening they promenaded on the
piazza again; he wa3 an awful man to
walk, seemed to want to move all the
time.
In the morning we found that he had
routed Miss Hunnistan Out at five
o'clock, and taken her up the lake in
Charley’s canoe. He brought her back
at eight, and ate his breakfast with tho
most brutal affability, as if nothing had
happened. Most people are a litle stiff
and grumpy mornings, but he wasn’t;
always had a piebian, good natured way
with him. After breakfast Charley aud
I said;
“Good morning, Mr. Handshaw!”
He stooped and said he wanted a
word with ns. We walked down the
path a way, and he said: isn’t
“Now, you look here, my name
Handshaw or Rmnshaw or Harkshaw,
but Grimshaw—G-r-i-m-s-h-a-w; if
either of you forgets this any more in
future, I’il take you both down to the
lake and drop you in where it’s deep,
with a sinker tied around you.”
Then he went back to the hotel. Of
course, his threats were absurd; but,
someway, when the beggar looked at you
it made you feel uncomfortable and want
to move away—so wo let his name alone
after that. He took Miss Hunnistan and
her father out fishing that morning.
After lunch, which he called “dinner”
and ate a great deal of, he was obliged
to give up Mias Hunnistan, because he
had tired.her out. We wondered what
he would do then. Instead of coming
around where us men were, he went
down in a ravine at the south end of the
hotel, where a lot of children were build-
ing a dam. Tne fallow was simply ini-
possible, that’s all. . You could never tell
how to take Lira'.
Well, things went on this way for two
weeks. None of us could get more than
a word at a time, with Miss Hunnistan.
When- this person wasn’t talking to the
old man ab~ut “subdivisions” and “in¬
side property” and “additions,” fie was
trotting the girl off walking, or boating,
or swimming, or something. Once when
some of us went up to the point, we
came to a place in the woods that looked
like snake3 or frogs; he picked Miss
Hunnistan up as if she wa3 luggage, and
carried her across on one arm, while the
rest of us went around —laughed all the
time, too, as if he was doing something
smart.
We found out that ho had been born
out in Minnesota; think of itt When he
was fifteen years old he was a peanut
boy on the train, ancl then somehow he
got' into the real estate business. He
didn’t smoke, and wouldn’t even drink
wine. His talk about cigarettes was the
most indelicate buffoonery, He had
never read anything but Shakespeare,
much, and he knew two songs, “Rock
of Ages” and “The Bridge,” that he
was liable to sing at any hour. He
always said “Yes, ma’am” and “No,
ma’am,” and seemed to like old Lady
Hunnistan about as well as her daugh-
ter.
Once the Yan Stabler boy knocked
down a nest full of young birds. This
fellow saw him, and he showed a fiend¬
ish temper. Ho says to him, “ilere,
you little imp !’* and grabbed him by the
collar and shook him viciously. 'YV’e
couldn’t kid yelled hear what sol but else he he made said him became take
the
the birds away into the woods where the
cat wouldn’t find them, and the boy
never went around on that side of the
house much after that.
Charley and I had gone down to an
arbor one afternoon for a quiet smoke.
Charloy had given it up; he said the
Hunuistans weren’t much as far as
family goes, and ho knew where he could
do better any day. We decided to go
back to town. As we came out, we saw
farther down the path this fellow and
the Hunnistan girl; they were walking
together with their heads bent over, and
he had one of his big awkward arms clear
around her. Charley is really witty at
times; he said:
“There’s something about that girl I
don’t like.” Good, wasn’t it?
After that it wasn’t any secret that
they were engaged. I suppose he went
at it m his pushing, matter-of-fact way,
without saying a word about the girl’s
money, and pretending not to think of
it at all. He did seem to be fond of her,
though; never took his eyes off when
she was in sight. All the same, I think
he mesmerized her, or something like
that, if the truth was known. Old
Hunnistan said he was a rustler and bad
made money. I can’t see how he ever
got his start.—Puck.
