I.YINd FOB Font WEEKS IN THE MISSIS
tUPPI KIVEB.
r.ou|*i viii' eonum-rcinl.]
Some weeks ago a young man, well
known about town, whoso name we
suppress for obvious reasons, spent
the evening with several o( his oom-
IKinions. and in the course of conver
sation reference was made to the
strange silence of a friend who had
gone'fco St. Louis, and whose where
abouts could not lie ascertained by
lotteror Inquiry-, doing home that
night, our hero s thoughts naturally
turned to his absent friend, and while
dwelling on the question. What lul l
become of him T a hand tupi>ed his
shoulder, and his absent friend s
voice sounded in ills ear:
"Why, George, old buy, bow are
* '••Heavens! my old friend, whore
did you come from V" was the reply,
and noth shook hands heartily.
"Well, 1 just dropped down, know
ing you yvere thinking of me, und as
I couidti' t stay long, thought I’d walk
home with you.”
"We were talking about you to
night, and some of the boys thought
von had been killed, as nothing could
be learned of vou,” said George.
"Well, George, the truth is X was
drowned in the Mississippi four weeks
ago, and my body yvas caught in an
(Sidy on the Illinois shore, and its
mighty uncomfortable, because 1
can’t get out and come to the surface,
you see,” and the dead man smiled in
his astonished friend’s face and took
jits arm.
George looked puzzled, and re
marked even while he shivered,
"Well,old boy, you an- a remarkably
healthy-looking dead body, und l
jiope you won't vanish before 1 can
get you home and give you a toddy.
The ghastly joke was kept up with
disagreeable |ortinaeity, the friend
insisting on the unpleasant situation
his corporeal remains occupied, while
George, with considerable effoi i. 1 vied
to turn the subject until his residence
was reached, and, dropping his
friend's arm, he remarked. "Come u
ami taka something to warm sou up.
A chap that 's licon lying at the bot
tom of the Mississippi four weeks
ought to toe! dulled !"
He looked around and his ineial
had disappeared. Startled for the
moment, he called and his voice
sounded loud and distinct on [in
still night air. There was no hiding
place, tro nook where one could con
ceal himself, and lie looked in vain.
Ho ran Up and down the square; but
no form, no footfall met his eye or
sounded on his ear. lie entered
the house, feeling very queer, but
inclined to think his friend had
played a joke upon him. He turned
up the gas and mixed two toddies in
the belief that his friend would re
turn and accept Ills hospitality. After
waiting half an hour lie was com
pelled to take his -‘night-cap” alone,
and, puzzled and half indignant, re
tired without nrvnkiiig his wife.
Next morning lie arose and dressed
himself,and, to his dismay, found
that his watch was missing. A close
search proved unsuccessful. He re
cited life evening's experience to liis
wife and failed to convince her that
lie had seen this friend, who bus
never been heard of since. His
friends look serious when lie cunll
deutiully relates his story, but bis
wife, woman like, absurdly remarks:
"George, you ought to quit drink
ing.”
