Daily Short Story
OF THE f
Brunswick News.
tph Midland's suest.
I had not seen a) house for five'miles,
and the light of (the short November
day was falling. . A searching north
east wind ehllledt me to the marrow.
My horse had gone lame, nnd I was
leading him. Imthese mountain soli
tudes a man Is a .fool to let himself tie
lost, but plainly I had'taken the wrong
fork. I had begun to. despair when I
came upon a clearing land in the midst
an unpainted house naid a huddle of
barns. A figure in Je.-ats was drawing
water at the well, one of the old fash
ioned kind with a sweep.
“Can I put up hero forme night?” 1
shouted in my cheeriest : accents. The
figure turned and stared at me, but
there was no reply. I saw, before me
an old man with straggling locks and a
beard reaching to the waist I repeat
ed my question within quaver, for the
wild appearance oft the old man and
his singular silence disconcerted me.
He drew a clawlike hand down the
length of his board, and his eyes
seemed to bore me through and
through, but still no t word. With a
curse for his incivility'l turned away,
and my horse hobbled 1 after me with
drooping head. Some ..Impulse made
me look hack, and, 10, tl*> old hermit
such I took him to be -was waving me
to return. We retraced ourt weary stops
willingly enough.
"A raw evening," said I'to my host,
with a desire to he sociable.
A jerk of the head, and it seemed to
me that 1 caught a wintry gleam of
hospitality in his eye, yet never a word
lie spoke, but took the horse by the
bridle, pointing at the same time to
the house. It was not an Inviting place.
The fire was almost at the last flicker.
I sat down In one of the chairs, and it
gave way under me. Somewhere in
the uncertain light a leg rolled about.
I recovered it, found tin; hole for it
and tried (lie sent gingerly. In n little
while my host staggered in with Ids
arms full of wood, which he let fall
on ttie hearth. I thought that I would
let film speak first this time, but
down he went on his knees and blew
at the embers.
As the pine wood burst into flame
and a ruddy light tilled the room the
old man lit an oil lamp. I then ob
served a shotgun on a rack over the
|: mantelpiece tind above the shotgun a
j rude chrotno of Andrew Jackson In a
gilt frame, the only ornament in the
recun. My strange host, having re
j>tn-'d the lamp chimney, stared at me,
(wlflt hands on Ills hips. I did not like
ills scrutiny. His eyes were very large,
with cavernous depths, and (he halls
twitched as from a nervous affection.
I luid an uncle once who thought he
was the grand mogul, and he had just
such eyes before they took him away to
the asylum. Once Ids eyes were off me
I fought back the shivers and said as
carelessly as I could:
V, “Kind o’ lonely up here."
1 .The effect on him, for Ids hearing
Seenied unimpaired, was to bring on a
lit of twitching, and, what was worso
and very horrible in n mute, the whole
right gpJe of his face moved violently
up and dowifgus If he had lost control
of Ids nerves. To hide his Infirmity
he turned his back on me and for
at while seemed! to he going through a
wort of spasm. The seizure passed off
Wes quickly as itihad come on, and he
jbxft the room.
v Returning with At black saucepan, ho
wedged it In between the burning logs.
He disappeared again, and I eotikl hear
him grinding coffee. The pot lie placed
on some side embers and then pro
duced a loaf of bread and fell to cut
ting off liberal slices. These he toast
ed on a long fork. X had expected
nothing bet ter than fried salt pork,
and, 10, a savory rabbit stew steamed
before me! At first I ate like a long
shoreman. My host leaned against the
wall and watched me. He would not
eat. His eyes left my face only to fix
on space behind me with a startled ex
pression that made me turn In my sent
several times. I began lo shake as
with cold, but 1 knew it was fright.
The handle of the cup slipped from my
trembling fingers, the hot coffee
streamed over my legs, with difficulty
I repressed a yell, and the cup smashed
into fragments on the floor. The her
mit’s face worked fearfully, and I
leaped up.
“1 didn’t mean to do it!” 1 cried.
The remark was supremely foolish,
but I was terrified out of rnv wits.
The effect on my host was extraordi
nary. lie bolted out Into the night so
suddenly that bis chair was thrown
down. I determined not to remain lon
ger as the guest of a madman. Before
I could get out he confronted me on
ithe threshold, and in his hollow eyes
4here was a resolution that I should
stay. I succumbed when he waved
me to a seat. Then he took down the
shotgun from the rack, patted the
breech lovingly, pressed the lever, fum
bled In his coat pocket and ran two
♦cartridges Into the barrels. When ho
snapped them Into place, I thought my
last hour bad come, so set, grim and
evil seemed his expression.
“That’s a fine gun you have there.” I
said, with my heart in my throat, fee’
lug that my only chance of life lay
getting possession of the shotgun.
“I’d like to examine it,” suld I, stan

his eyes rolling wildly utud his head in
dined ns if listening.
There was.a sound without, the beat
of a horse’s hoof on the roadway, t
broke past the lunatic amd gaiueu the
wood shed behind him. flamming the
door a“d putting my foot against it.
Within reach jtvas a small window. I
shook the sash until it gave way, nnd
I sent a cry for;help out into the night.
Was it heard? The horse was being
urged up the bank, as if the rider were
in hot haste.
I peered out.
What was my amazement wheu my
host sallied forth, lamp in hand! By
its light. I saw the horse pulled up and
a ragamuffin of a boy hand him a pa
per, swing the horse's head round and
plunge down the bank. liaising the
lamp above his head, the old man read
the paper, lie read a second time, as
If to make sure of tile con I cuts, and
then, lifting Ms head like a hound
when it bays. In* uttered a series of
yells that the ridge gave back with
many reverberations. The next mo
ment he was in the house, and the
next outside with the leap of a spring
bok. A report followed. Ho had fired
the gun. Hang', it went again. Rapidly
reloading, he discharged both barrels
and kept on firing until lie had saluted
the wilderness and the night eight
times.
“Say, stranger, crane out o' tliur," ho
shouted at the wood shed. “I ain't
a-gotn’ to hurt nary hair on yet- head.”
I came bewildered into the living
room, my face dripping with perspira
tion. lie seized me in his anna and
bugged me until I gasped.
"Look at that!" he said, thrusting
Into my hands the paper the boy had
brought.
I read:
Eph Holland, Head of neaverkll! Creek:
j Blaine concedes New York to Cleveland.
Ho is elected beyond all doubt. Shake!
ED BARNES,
Editor Sullivan County Palladium.
And before 1 could say anything or
ask any questions Eph Holland broke
into a jig step, the while yelling like
a Comanche.
“Llkkcr up, you son o’ a gun!” he
roared at me, stopping from shortness
of breath. lie filled my glass and a
tumbler for himself.
“Here’s to Grover!” he said. "Drink
’er down.”
| I did not know what my politics
j was at that moment, hut I drank, and
i the stuff sent the blood hack to iny
i heart.
| “Don’t you think it’s up to yon to ex
i plain?” said I. with a sickly smile,
when he hud drained his tumbler.
The old man dropped Into a chair,
I threw hack his head and guffawed
| until his tnirjii ended in u’viuleut lit of
j coughing.
“Oil, my!” he hc.cn In and went off
into another explosion.
I did not laugh. The old fellow’s
manner had changed so completely, he
had become so friendly, jovial and
altogether human with the recovery of
his speech, that 1 recalled my error of
him with shumefneed feeling
"I thought yon wa re a mute, and
yes crazy,” 1 faltered.
“And that I wanted yer scalp,” said
the old man, wiping tears from his
oyes. “But, great Betty, I can’t blame
yon. Well, stranger, It was Ibis way:
X was very much worked tip about the
election; hadn’t spoke a word since
Tilden was heat in 1 Sre. vowed I never
would till a Democrat was elected.
That was eight years ago.”
“llow about your hair ami heard?” 1
asked, getting interested.
“Them was to •grow,” said Mr. Hol
land. “A right smart crop o’ hair can
he raised in eight years, and 1 ain’t
very pretty nohow. When you come
’long here last night, 1 didn't want to
■ take you In—that’s a fact - knowin’ us
how I couldn’t talk yet. But 1 hated
to turn man and beast away. It was
mighty uncomfortable for you, warn't
It?”
“Well, rather,” said TANARUS, drawing a
deep breath.
"Dunno wimt’d ha’ happened”—the
old villain's grin bespoke enjoyment of
the fright he had inspired—“if the boy
hadn't come ’long with Ed Barnes’
rippin’ good news. But s'pose you
could have crawled out o’ the W'ood
shed w indow when 1 warn't lookin’.”
He chuckled and filled my glass
again and his own.
Then we talked polities and drank
more whisky until a cock crew at the
rising of the moon, which was 2
o'clock.
Eph Holland’s step was unsteady
when he piloted me up hi- crazy stairs
to bed, and lie stumbled down with a
falsetto whoop for Grover which was
eloquent of his condition.
