t casually, as he usually called, on
»wuy to or from town, but with a
t purpose. Jock was under the
ether, and lay on the sofa. I was
ding to him when Parker walked
through his hair gravely. Then: "1
quite agree with you, Mr. Parker. I
don’t know what to say to Percy, but
I will try a little strategy and see if
he can be kept at hoiiiemore. If that
won’t do I can talk to him.”
And here began my connection

I tried to dissemble, but Shorty is
nobody's fool, and interrupted. "Oh,
rot!" said he. "1 reckon ymi think
I'm a sucker. Now. honestly, what
wns ho here fort"
Finally I told him about the con
versation between his brother and
Parker. He sat silent for several
minutes. I could hoc Mb face twitch.
Then he turned his eyes to my face
and said slowly: "Taber. I know I’m
young and all that, but—I know my

when people pine they seem to lose

did neither. And still no word from
Shorty, and the day for the wedding
only a week away.

Percivul Pimping set his mouth bard
and walked out He called at Par
ker’s the next evening, despite Jack’s
strategy."
There waa another caller at Par
ker's that evening in the person of
Morris Cottrell, a wealthy rancher
from up the "Five Mile.” Shorty,
when be got home, mentioned this
fact to me, with somefeeling in his
tones. Cottrell was no old duller.
He was a man of thirty, well read
and a gentleman, and the prospect of
having him for a rival would have
sent despair to the heart of any pen
niless young man leu determined
than Shorty Fleming.
For two or three months Shorty
oontinued his calls at Parker’s, grow
ing more and more gloomy and sav
age as the days went by, for old Sam
Parker was something of a strategist,
and managed to koep the poor lad
from getting a single private inter
view with Nettie, thereby giving Cot
trell a clear field, which was evident
ly satisfactory to the latter, although
ho did not seem to make much prog
ress.
One evening Shorty came to my
room in a state of mind. He had
soon Sam Parker that day, and the
latter hod told him, oh gently oh pos
sible, some galling truths about Iub
ago and his penniless condition, con
cluding with tho choorful informa
tion that ho "reckoned Nut hod ’bout
d’eided t’ take up with Cottrell, any-
hoow."
Of course Shorty wns despondent,
but ho was none tho less determined.
“Faber, I'm going to seo her tomor
row afternoon, and—and ask her."
Tho time and tho hour favored
Shorty, but I hardly think Nettie
know her own mind. Tho boy who
came riding slowly' home through
the shadows next evening was a
very much downcast boy indeed.
Ho told me all about it later 1 how
Nettie had wavered, and finally told
him that she could give him no an
swer. She cared a great deal for
him, she sold, but she was.not sure
site cared enough, for him. Besides,
her father objected to him, and she
could never cross her fathor's wishes,
when he had done bo muehfor her.
Sam Parker must lmvo heard of
this interview, and mode up his mind
to something. Although he was
usually bo good natured, he was as
determined as a bulldog, and I think
he used some influence in deciding
matters, for two weeks later he
“dropped in" to toll Jock that Nettie,
and Cottrell would he married on
Thanksgiving day, two months later.
Shorty must have seen tho news in
my face, for after supper he drew
mo nsido and asked what I knew.
I hated to tell him. but did so the
best way I could. Tho poor lad
stood still as stone for several sec
onds. Then, with a shuddering sob,
he turned away. In the morning he
was gone, with his horse and clothes,
leaving no word.
Jack and Joe, the other brother,
were much worried; hut, as Jack
now for the first time acknowledged,
"tho boy could take care of himself."
Jack and I talked it over during
the day, and he expressed a good deal
of regret, thinking, however, that
Nettie had decided for herself, and
that Shorty had no one to blame for
his failure. “If it had been differ
ent,” he went on, “and Percy had
persevered and won, I would have
given in, and I think Parker would
too, for next year Percy will come
into about fifteen thousand. You
Bee, I’ve never told him of it, because
I wanted him to grow up on his
merits and be self reliant I think it
has been for the best Joe never
knew until he was of age that he hod
anything, and we didn’t tell Percy of
arationB at Parker's. Tho people for
miles around were invited to the
wedding, which, old Sam "’lowed,"
would be "th' banguppest thing they
over hed in th' kentry." I rode into
town to buy on behalf of Jack and
myself something to present to the
bride elect. In the postoffleo some
one tapped me on the shoulder. I
turned. It was Shorty Fleming—
Shorty, with a handsome mustache
and smiling quite happily.
“How long before you’re going
out?" he asked.
"Right now."
"Bully! Faber, go and borrow a
horse until tomorrow-, toll 'em yours
is lame and you'll have to lead him.
Nobody bos recognized me bock of
this overcoat collar and the hirsute
adornment, and I don't want ’em to.
I'll walk out and head up the road.
Hurry up with tlie horses.”
In about twenty minutes I was fol
lowing him. riding a horse I had
borrowed and leading my own. I
soon caught up with Shorty, and we
hurried on. Shorty showed me a
letter signed "Nettie.” and proceeded
to untcrid a plan he had. in mind,
which, for the quality of pure
‘nerve,’’ I had never heard sur
passed.
There was nobody at the house but
Manuel, the cook, and Shorty soon
had him sworn to silence, after which
he proceeded to camp in the cold lit
tle up stairs storeroom off my den,
whore nobody could find him. Jack
was not to know of his presence, lie
said, "because Jack is so thundering
honest and peronickety, and would
squeal or spoil the job."
it then, because he was only seven-
mi
teen. Joe put his money into the
ranch here and kept quiet about it!*
He sat silent for a minute; then
oontinued: “Of course, this is be
tween ourselves. But—do you know,
I wish the boy had won. He's a good
deal of a man, and, now I come to.
think of it the affair has hit him
hard. They could have waited a
couple of years, you know.” And
Jack walked off slowly, taking long
whiffs at hit pipe.
Several weeks passed, during which
week, and there had been great prep-
ilo for
“Hold the
<■ «, -f
PORT."
The half hundred guests at Pork
er's had been enjoying Thanksgiving
day to the full. All of Mrs. Parker’s
good things had been stowed away
where they would do the most good.
The minister from town was getting
ready for the ceremony, and the
guests were bustling about, amid
some confusion, trying to find the
best points for observation. Nettie
Parker, pale for once, stood near the
front door pulling her fingers nerv-
ting, su;
supposedly, for her
father.
Some one knocked at the door,
Nettie pulled it open, gave a little
cry, grabbed a man's hat froth the
back of a chair and on overcoat from
a peg hear by, and rushed out, slam
ming the door. Everybody who saw
the performance stood still, dazed.
Then, as we heard horses’ hoofs clat
tering up tho road, there was a rush
for the outside. Up the road, disap
pearing fast, were two horses, whose
ridera were evidently in a hurry.
There was another rush—this time
for tho stables—led by old Sam Park-
But somehow the doors would
not open. They had been nailed up,
very securely, by a person who was
at that moment making hypocritical
efforts to get one of them open.
When they finally succeeded in
mounting two or three men for pur
suit the runaways had three or four
miles start At this juncture Cot
trell, as cool as if he had never
thought of attending his own wed
ding, come up and spoke quietly to
old Parker, who was so dozed that
he hod not opened his mouth so far.
The old man started. “By gorry,
Morris, mebbe thet’s o'rect. No use
yowlln over spilt milk. Como on,
boys." And they rode off, but not
very rapidly.
“I told the old gentleman,” re
marked Cottrell to me as we turned
toward the house, “that it was no
use trying to head them off. They’ll
be married inside of an hour.” Then,
in a tone that contained no trace of
bitterness, he continued:
“It is for bptter to have happened
now than—thoh later. And—as it is
—I think maybe there will be only
one unhappy person, instead of
three.” That was Morris Cottrell—
philosopher and man.
Mr. and Mrs. Perdval Fleming were
met at the justice's office by old Sam
Parker, who remarked: “Wa-al, I
swow I Yew air a nervy boy 1 Ain’t
ye both ashamed on’tt”
No, they were not; and after Net
tie had had a good cry in her father’s
arms the runaways were escorted
back to the Parker ranch to receive
the congratulations of their friends,
foremost among whom was Morris
Cottrell.—R. L. Ketchum in San

City Government In Gerfasny.
In Germany, city work is a science
as far from politics as is the science
of engineering or architecture. Each
salaried alderman is responsible for
a single department, or for several
closely allied parts of the public busi
ness. He does not serve, as do our
aldermen, on three or four scattered
committees-schools, licenses and
sewers—about none of which he has
any scientific knowledge. He is
elected to his office because of his
knowledge and skill in a special field
of municipal work, and takes charge
of that department. Thus, city work
offers to a young German a life
career, just os railroading, or manu
facturing does in America.
An educated man makes a special
study of water works or building laws
or poor relief. Ho letu-ns the meth
ods of the best European cities. He
sorves his time in the administration
in some’ small town, and perhaps
gets a place at tho head of his chosen
department in some small city, and
tries to make that department a
model of efficiency and economy;
finally, he finds the end of his pro
fessional ambition in being promoted
to the same work in one of the great
cities of the kingdom. Here he has
a place of dignity in the social world,
and if successful holds a life office
with the assurance of a pension for
himself and his family.—Professor
F. G. Peabody in Forum. .

Flogging In England* .
Tlie flogging in the army and navy
during the Eighteenth century in
England is appalling, to think of.
That carried on ashore is a subject
of some obscurity. The punishment
of whipping has never been token
out ot the lows. Garroters and rob
bers who are violent ore still flogged,
and boys are birched. I know not
when they censed to flog men through
the streets at tho cart tail, nor when
they left off flogging women. The
practice certainly continued well
into the century. In the prisons it
was a common thing to Hog the men.
As for the severity of the laws pro
tecting property, one illustration
will suffice. What can be thought
of laws which allowed the hanging
of two children for stealing a purse
with two shillings and a brass coun
ter in it?
Something, however, may be said
for Father Stick. He ordered every
thing, directed everything, superin
tended everything. Without him
nothing was ever done, nothing could
be done. Men wore flogged into drill
and discipline, thoy were flogged
into courage, they were flogged into
obedience: boys were flogged into
learning; prentices were flogged into
diligence: women wore flogged into
virtue. Father Stick has still his
disciples, but in the last century he
was king.--Walter Besant In Har

Great was the indignation in the

A steak being called for by an old
pilot one night, Morrison said that he
had no steaks, but would cut and
broil for him a thick slice from the
sirloin which had just been prepared
for roasting the next day. Morrison’s
place was known as the Porter House

FITTINGREMARKS!
As she gazed on that pretty dis
play,
She was heard most distinctly to
say:
“It is perfectly true;
That’s the prettiest shoe
I’ve looked on in many a day?’"
And it goes without saying,
That she purchased the shoes.
From Cox & Muse,
Who are known to keep
The prettiest of SHOES.
LADIES:
Our elegant low-quartered shoes
have arrived.
They are new, pretty, stylish,
well-fitting and durable.
They surpass anything we have
eyer had, or you ever saw.
Call and we will be pleased to
show and fit them.
