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 ing nn and holding out roy_banda.__ was tq critical and l rememb that It shook as with at congestive eh Thejflerce old man held out the gun, and t .grasped It. but before I could re verse,lt, my intention*being to cover bim and tell him to | throw up his hands', he .wrenched thelpiece from me. 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.
