was a broken-down plough-horse that

had outlived everything el*e except hi*

The rusty mane and tail of this steed

Van kipper had been a furious rider In

some of hi* own spirit into the animal;

serene and clear; and nature wore It*

livery which we always associate with
the Idea of abundance
The forests had put on their sober
browns and yellows, while some trees of
the tenderer kind had been nipped by the
frost Into brilliant dyes of orange and
red and purple and scarlet .Streaming
flight* of wild ducks began to make their
appearance high in the air; th« birk of
squirrels might b* heard from the groves
of beach and hickory gut* and the pen
sive whistle of the quail at Intervals
from the neir.hb »rlng stubble fields.
The small birds were taking their fare
well banquets. In the fullness of their
revelry they fluttered, chirping and frol-
Idng from bush to bush and on from
tree to tree capricious from the very
abundance of the profusion and variety
i around them. There was the honest
cockmbln favorite sport for the gun of
strippling sportsmen in those days; and
the twitter of tha blackbirds flying In
sable aloud*. And the golden-winged

with its red-tipped wings and yellow tall
slid Its little cap of feathers.

changing gradually into a pure apple
green; and from that into the deep blue
of the middle-heaven. A slanting ray
lingered along the wooded crests of the
precipices that overhung some parts of
the river, giving greater depth to the
dark gray and purple of their rocky
Sides.
A sloop was loitering in the distance,
dropping down slowly with the tide, her
sail hanging useless against the mast
and, a* the reflection of the sky gleamed
against the still water, il seemed as if
the sloop were suspended in air. It was
toward evening when Ichabod Grane ar
rived at the house of Van Tassel. He
found It thronged with the pride and
flower of the country-side. When Ka
trina’s father sent out invitation* to a
merrymaking there w ere none who re
fused to accept.
The old farmers who were gathered at
the castle of Van Tassel were a spare,
leathery-faced set of people, clad in
homespun and blue stockings, with im
mense shoes and magnificent pewter
buckle* upon them. Their brisk, wither
ed. little dames were with them in close
crimped caps, long-waisted, short gowns,
homespun petticoats—and with scissors
and pin-cushions and gay calico pockets
hanging on the outside. It was indeed
a delightful place for any one to visit.
But the doom of Ichabod was sealed.

Ichabod Triumphant.
But it was a pleasant sight to Ichabod.
whose glory without his knowing it had
departed, when he saw the buxom lasses,
almost as antiquated in their dress as
their mothers, excepting where a stray
hat, a fine ribbon—or perhaps a white
frock gave symptoms of a city innova
tion. For Manhattan was—even in those
days- beginning to make Its influence
felt up the hroad Hudson. And Man
hattan--or New York as the old Dutch
farmers were learning to rail It—was
connected with many lands by ships
which sailed out through the Narrows
and ciunc back again, bearing forth the
wealth of a great country and bringing
back many strange peoples who were
seeking the Western snores and the New
World. But that Is aside. The sturdy
Dutch descendants of the original settlers
were, a* they assembled at the house of
farmer Van Tassel, clad in short, square
skirled coats, with rows of stupendous
brass buttons on them. Their hair was
generally “queued” in the fashion of the
older time, especially If they could pro
cure an eel skin for the purpose—it being
esteemed throughout the country a most
potent nourisluT of the hair.
fironi Rones, however, was at first the
hero of the hour. He had come to tho
scene of festivities upon his favorite
steed. Daredevil, a creature, like him
self. full of mettle and mischief—and
a horse which no one but himself could
manage Brom wa*. in fact, noted for
preferring vicious steeds given to all
kinds of trick* which kept the rider con
tinually upon the alert and made him
know that he was riding at the constant
risk of his neck Brom thought a well
broken and tractable horse to be unwor
thy of a lad of spirit.

"The AUGUSTA HERALD
the world of charms which burst upon
the enraptured gaze of Ichabod Grane —
our hero—when he entered the great 1
farm-house of "Baity’ Van Tassel, and
saw the display of the buxom and em
ple charms of the Dutch lassies and the
display of a genuine Dutch tea-table.
Such heaped-up platters of cakes of
various and almost indescribable kinds,
known only to the experienced house-

wife as were there. There was the
doughty doughnut and the crisp and
crumbling cruller. The sweet-cakes and
short cakes and th ginger cakes and
the honey cakes and the whole family
of cakes were there. And then there
was apple pie and peach pie and pumpkin
pi*-. These lay between slices of smoked
ham and smoked beef. And the feast was
garnished by delectable dishes of pre
served plums, peaches and pears.
Then there were the broiled shad and
the roasted chickens tempting one to
over-eat. And we must not forget the
preserved quince* inclined to give one an
appetite. A motherly teapot was sending
lup its vapor from their midst. It would
take a longer space than this story al
lows to tell of all the good things that
were there. But Ichabod was not in so
great a hurry and did justice to every
viand. He was a good and grateful crea
ture whose spirits dilated as his skin
was filled with good cheer. His spirits
rose with eating as some men’s do with
drink. He could not help but turn his
eyes around, however, from the delights
iof the tea table to cast a look at Ka
trina —and think how soon he would turn
his back upon all this unimaginable scene
of luxury when he was once possessed of
it and had sold it out.
Then Ichabod thought of how he could
give up his school-teaching and snap his
j fingers at Hans Van Ripper and every
other niggardly patron -and kick any
itinerant pedagogue out of doors who
would dare to call hmt “comrade." He
felt pretty sure of aKtrina—and pretty
sure of her inheritance. The long ways
of life seemed opening to him in many
pleasant vistas. And had it not been for
the works on witchcraft of the Reverend
Doctor Gotton Mather —perhaps his vista
was secure. But there was his weakness
as will appear in the sequel.
It may be all right to believe In witches
and witchcraft, and ‘Yappings" and so
forth; but when they interfere with a
man’s business—that is another matter.
But e awll have those feeling* and Icha
bod wa* probably no more foolish than
the rest o fus But he was getting into a
place where his superstition was going to
take effect upon him. A very hearty
meal and a b- lief in witchcraft are apt
to make trouble. Is it indigestion?
Well, old "Baity" Van Tass«*l hovered
around among his guests with a face di
lated with content and good humor—
round and jolly as a harvest moon. His
hospitable intentions were brief but ex
pressive. He slapped one man on the
I shoulder and shook another by the hand,
with a Pond-laughing invitation for ev
eryone to “fall to" and help themselves.
And now the sound of music resounded
from the common room—or hall —sum-
moning to the dance.
The musician was a old gray-headed
darkey who had been the itinerant min
strel of the country for years and who
put his whole soul into his fiddling. He
had been for more than a half a cen
tury the musician of the surrounding
country •'His instrument was as old
and battered as himself. The greater
part oT the time he scraped on two or
three strings, accompanying every move
ment of the bow by a motion of his
head, bowing almost to the ground and

couple were to start.

Idle and to have seen his loosely hung

the dance —w'as figuring b a fore you in

negroes who. having gathered, of all ages
and sizes, from the farm and the neigh
borhood. stood forming a pyramid of
shining black faces in every door and
window, gazing with delight at the scene.
As for Ichabod Grane, how' could the
flogger of urchins be otherwise than gay
and joyous? The lady of his heart was
his partner in the merry dance—all
beauty, and smiling graciously in reply
to all his amorous ogling*—while Brom

sumed by jealousy—sat glooming in a
corner all by himself. Oh it was a time
of triumph for Ichabod.

SELF-CONFESSED
ANARCHIST SERVES
TERM IN ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga.—Having just completed a
two-year sentence in the Federal Prison
for refusing to register in New York for
the selective service, Louie Kramer, a
self-confessed Anarchist, yesterday was
taken in custody here bv a federal
marshal and left for New York to serve
a sentence in that city.
When asked his name and nationality,
Kramer gave this startling reply:
"My name is Louis Kramer. I have
no nationality. I am an internationalist,
an anarchist, if you will. I am being
persecuted because I believe with the
great Jesus, who was nothing more than
a philosopher. That was is all wrong.
And now you may leave me to my medi
tations."
The marshal left him to his medita
tions.
