A CROOKED 0 D . WOMAN'S
STORY.
"So you want to hear my story P
Twenty years aeo you wouldn't have
had to ask. Every man woman and
child beret:Wilts knew it then. But
the old people are dead; the children
are men and women, gone away -to
seek their, fortunes; new people have
come in the old ones' places, and its
little the new ones (lire for Hunch
bark 'Margery's story. Then, too,
after Lily was married, I left the old
place, and moved up here on the
hill. There wasn't any need of keep
ing two rooms for one lone woman.
It Is pleasant on the bill. I like to
sit by the window at night, and look
down over the silent city, when the
roar and howl are all still, and poor
people have forgotten their troubles.
I like to sit here in the night and
watch the long rows of gaslights,
twinkling through the mist like so
many little stars. stretching miles
away down the streets, and winding
in and out through the hills. I can
tell you my story better here.
And so. sitting there in the dusk
by the window, on the hilt above the
silent city, silent as an enchanted
city of old, looking , dreamily down
at the tong rows of lamps, stretching
miles away through the streets, and
winding in and out among the hills,
we listened to Hunchback Margery's
story.
"I have no story worth telling, be
fore Lily was born. I was ten years
old then. Then's when my story
began. Lily is so bound up with my
story, and woven in and out through
it, that, take Lily away, and I
should have no story at all. My fa
ther died the day Lily was born.
One went out of the world as the
other came in. One solved the mys
tery of death just as the other began
to know the mystery of life. Which
is the greater mystery, life or death P

me. Alone woman with a crooked
back has time for queer thoughts,
different from the thoughts of other
women, may be.
"But f wasn't a crooked-back
when Lliy was born. 'I was straight
and strong as a young tree then. I
took the little new baby in my arms
and carried her to the bed where fa
ther lay dying. He could' hardly

was, gathering in his eyes. I have
my father% eyes, large and black,
with long . lashes, the only beauty
about tne, you see. My father laid
his head feebly upon the head of the
little one. He could only speak a
faint whisper.
"Is it a girl ?" he said.
"It's a girl, papa."
"My father didn'tspeak fora min
ute, and then he gathered all the lit
tle strength he had left, and mur
mured faintly:
"Take care of her Margery.
"So you see the child was a solemn
bequest to me, in a manner. My fa
then never spoke again, and in a
few minutes he was dead. And he
was the only friend I ever had."
Margery paused a moment. We
cotild see in the dim light that she
wiped a tear from her still beautiful
era, with, their long black lashes.
Then she Went on:
"From that day I gave my life up
to Lily. That's my story, long or
short. I Wad wrong. No one ought
to give his lifetime, or even the best ` ,
years of it,np to another. (iod nev

"Mother had a grudge at me be
cause I was like poor father, I think.
She said I had no spirit or life in me;
just like my father. Lily was beau
tiful, like mother. I was thedrudge,
like father. We became too poor to
keep a servant, after awhile, and I
maid of all work. I never cared for
schooling much. I was a stupid
poke, like father, mother said. Bo I
worked about the house, and, took
care of Lily. We kept a lodger or
two in the house, and so managed to
live. Lily was as beautgail as a
child angel; though she wasnit much
like an angel, to be sure, But the
child was spoilt from the beginning.
Her eyes were as blue as the spring
violets, and people told her so from
the time she was two years old.
Her hair was like a brown autumn
leaf showered over With gold dust,
and people told her that, too. She
was a wilful little thing from the
first, and always took her own head.
She ruled mother with a rod of iron,
and they both together ruled me.

"I can hardly tell you the next. I
don't know very well myself, only I
know that my mother always
blamed me for it. and said it was ail
my-stupidity. Lily was a head
strong child. as I said; a roaring little
vixen when her temper was up. If
she was crossed In anything, she
would bellow and scream till she
would turn black in the face. and.
mother would be afraid she would
burst something. and so let her have
•
her own way. That's how she man
aged mother. If I had children of
my own, I'd never give up to them
for, fear they'd scream and burst
themselves. I'd let 'em burst.
But Lily always had her own way.
She was the most aggravating young
ope, she was.. If she thought you
wanted her to do anything In par
ticular, you mignt have taken her
head off for her before she'd have
done it; if she knew you didn't
want her to do anything, she ran
right off and did it before you could
blink your eye. But I loved her .
dearly. She was my beautiful sister,
and father had said with his dying
breath: "Take cam of her Margery."
"Mother and I had to be constant
ly on the watch, to keep her out of
danger. But one day she escaped
our eyes, and ran out into the street,
I missed ' her in a moment, and went
after her. I saw her from the front
gate. Sho saw me too, and that mo
ment the imp of mischief poe segsed
the child, and she started to run
across the street as fast as her wilful
little feet would carry her. I ran
after her, of course. And if I live a
thousand years, and lose all remem
brance of everything else on earth,
I shall never forget the next fright

out over my body, and I turn faint

felt the hot breath of their flaming

their wild, mad, awful eyes as they

two kinds of - people in the world.
The care and responsibility of the
shoulder; of ( one kind, like water
poured upon oil paper, while with
the other kind they soak In through
and through to the very hones.
Mother and Lily were the first kind;
was born the second kind, and
their share of owe and planning and
looking ahead for a living, and my
own share too, all fell upon me—one
pale, little crippled woman. I earn
ed the living for mita How? Idid
'embroidery—not the common work,
but embroidery on velvet. I hardly
know - how I picked it up, but I was
always handy with my fingers, to
make up for my stupidness about
books. perhaps. I believe when
folks don't have one gift they always
have some other in place, which is
just as good, if the made good use of
It. No Imported embroidery was
handsomerthan the leaves and buds
I worked into the glossy velvet,
they looked like the flowers, and
leaves in a picture. And so I made
our living—a shabby one, to be sure,
but still we were comfortable.
"When Lily was fourteen mother
died, tdo. Almost with her last
•words she told me to take care of
Lily; just what father had said, years
before. But mother said suiething
else, too. Mother said:
"Take care of her, Margery, and
bring- her up a lady.
"Lily was a strong, healthy, beau
tiful girl. I.was a. pale little cripple.
lEknne mothers might have thought
that the healthy girl should take , care
of the cripple, maybe. But my
mother said: Take care of Lily and
make a lady of her. Perhaps it was
well enough. I never could be a lady
myself, from having been born a
drudge and from being a hunchback.
So I obeyed mother and worked for
my beautiful sister, worked iny fin
gers off and my eyes out almost.
And Lily? Lily went to a • ladles
school, where she Waned , tosing.and
an_.lgottp~r-# 3 #e learned
ne ways, too- 7 to despise Our . Shab
by little roodis, among other things;
and, finally, learned to be ashamed of

I gulped mitroubl63 - doinr vat eat&
nothing. That's always the easiest
way to get over anything, I find.
Lily was discontented and unhappy
all the time, and made me unhappy
too by her perpetual repining&
None of my paths in this world has
led me through a bed of roses. But
I worked on and said nothing.
"When Lily was twenty a grand
gentleman fell in love with her and
married her. He saw her in a ta
bleaux where she was a heathen god
dess, or something. I never under
stood these matters, and it was love
at first sight with him. Sometimes
love at first sight wears, and some
times it doesn't. Lily was married
in church. I saw , her from up in the
gallery, and a more beautiful bride
thanwy sister Lily I never looked
at, In her orange wreath, and the
lovely veil I had worked for her
with my own hands. After thewed
ding, they went away .off to their
grand home, and my sister Lily is a
lady. and has her carriage with the
prowlest, and no end of silk dresses
and diamonds. That was fifteen
years ago. I have never seen them
since.
"No? Lily didn't ask me to go and
live with her. I would .be happier
in my old home, where I had always
lived, she said, and then I never could
feel at ease among grand people, So
she went away. A while after that
my eyesight began to fail. I had
hurt them so working on Lily's wed
ding cloths that they never were
strong again. Five years ago they
failed me entirely for embroidery,
and I have nevermade so much as a
leaf since. Then I sold little pictures.
taking them from house to house. I
had to keep the wolf from the door.
I did well at first. People knew me
and knew my story, and they were
kind to me. They bought my pic
tures whether they wanted them or
not, and always asked me to stop and
ovsu rout it is ainerent now. ren
ple are richer than they were five
years ago; and dont want my poor
little engravingsany more. When I
ring the bell a servant comes to the
door and asks my business,and always
says the lady of the house doesn't
want any pictures. And then the
chill ofdisappointment fails like cold
lead over my heart. I didn't use to
mind, but I can't bear what I could
once. I 'am growing bashful lately,
somehow I can't understand it, but
it makes me feel scared and faint to
ask strangers to buy my pictures.
Maybe it's because I'm growing old.
"Then, too, the walking is very hard
on me, and when I sit down to rest
someti mes, the boys gather about and
stare after me as I limp along the
street. I oughtn't to mind it, may-
be, but it makes me feel like a hunt-
ed Sniffle!, with no place to hide. ofl
If I could only go into the' beautiful
country, away from the sight of men!
• But I know that can never be.
I made a mistake in my life.
When I was young and•cohld work,
I ought to have put by money enough'
to bury me in my old days, instead of
spending it all for Lily. I was
wrong. Lily ought to have worked
for herself, and I ought to have work
ed for myself. It would have been
better for both of us. My beautiful
sister Is one of the most selfish and
heartless of women. I made her so.
Many ainan and *Poznan are made
selfish and heartless in the same way.
I have seen mothers drudge their
lives away for their children, only to
make their children despise them af

But lam sure it is wrong; wicked

hurts them both. When I am dead

The following scrap of unwritten
history, referring to the southern part
of this township, we have gathered
from, the most authentic source, and
give It to your raiders, with the
thought that it may prove new to
most of them :
In the olden times there lived
near to the village of A.rlington, now
called Masontown, a family by the
name of Collins. This family had
for neighbors and tenants a fetid
ly named Radcliff. These fan
nies both resided on what Was
known, at that time, as the Rollins
tract of land, their houses being only
separated' by a narrow stream known
in these days_ as Fishers Creek. Them
&WO bunnies wereby flatland Inclina
tion, education and - in all theletastes
as widely opposite as the poles. The
Collins family were of French descent
and 'had inherited all the polisb,
politeness and hauteur that have
ever characterized that people. The
Radcliff's were of Teutonic origin.
Frugality, honesty and Indust* ,
were the German elements that still
.etingte them Both .1 families were

ding into, womanhood and manh
at the time the events we are about
to record took place. Ellen,
the
name of Men Collins , and the hero
ine of this tradition, was a beautiful
blonde, tall, slender, comely and
queenly in her appearance, with
beautiful golden tresses that hung
carelessly and fascinatingly over a
bust well rounded, and as white es i
alabaster. Ellen, like most heroines,
was poss6Esed of a pair of bright and
beautiful gray eyes and a pretty '
mouth. It is not marvelous that
Cupid's dart charged with gracious
smiles shaped by such a mouth and
aimed by such eyes should have gone
home to the soul and pierced through
and through the susceptible heart of
young Henry Radcliff. Henry, our
informant states, was of- medium
height, strong frame. very dark com
plexion, but manly in hisapparance.
These two young persons appear to
have represented the two extremes
of nature—thi one being very light
and the other very dark—but this
difference in personal appearance
only served to make their attach
ment reciprocal and stronger; for
their love for each other, as every
circumstance connected with the
tragedy proVe6 was of the purest and
most exalted nature. This love,
which had been glowing with the
utmost ardor had entirely escaped
the notice of the parents of either
party for over a year, although they
had their frequent places of trysting.
Thus ample time was given for what,
at one time might have been thought
a mare attachnutnt or regard for each
other to ripen into the strongest in
fatuation. Notwithstanding the re
, monstnin.vs of her parents and the
threats of her brother Edward,: Ellen I
remained true to her love, and when I
asked by Henry to be his wife, she
quietly consented, and the bargain
was sealed by Henry impressing an
affectionate kiss on the dimpled
cheek of Ellen, and the young couple
vowed to Heaven that they should
be one or die in the attempt. The
principal objection of the Collins' to
young Radcliff was. that he was not
rich in worldly goods, but his habits
of industry and sobriety should have
compensated for all this, bat it seems
not, for they very reluctantly con
sented to have the wedding at the
home mansion, alter remonstrances,
threats and every appliance known
in such cases had been exhausted.
After the usual delays incident to
such occasions the day fixed for the
celebration of the nuptials arrived,
and a beautiful day it was—one of
those bright cherry May mornings,
when all of God's creatures, birds,
flowerers and everything appears to
be conspiring to render mortal beings
happy. About ten o'clock a. m., of
the eventful day, the Rev. 3fason,
together with the members of both
families, except her brother Edward,
who was teaching echoed in New
1 Geneva, were assembled in the home
! parlor nervously awaiting the ap
pearance of the happy couple. They
did not wait long. It was but .a mo
ment until their quick footsteps - were
heard descending the stairs, and en
tering the pirlor with light hearts
full of hope for the future, and the
Rev. gentleman proceeded at once to
perform the marriage ceremony.
When about half through with the
ceremony her brother Edward. who
had: gotnews of the wedding, rushed
into theparlor with lightning 4;00.

aimed at the head of Henry. The

and the unfortunate young man fell

W. H. Clagett was eleited Dele
gate to Ccingress, and sectinid for his
friend, A, J. • Simeon, • I the; Milk
River Indian. Agency. W. Batidd
as clerk of the Agency,
1 He being a man of genius propiased - a
scheme for the enrichment of him
self and his principal. He , vollected
straggling Indians from different
bands and 'tribes and founded • the
Teton Sioux—the name being derived
from three mountain peaks at the
head of Snake River, Idaho, near
Which the new tribe was colonized.
They were•reprsented by Judd and
Simmons as terrible Savages, who
had declared a war of extermination
against-the whites, and their number
was estimated at 11,000. These re
ports, properly substantiated, were
sent to Washington, and, through
the instrumentality of Clagett, Sim
mons was appointed special agent
for the new tribe founded and located
by Judd Simmons, at the risk of his
precious life, held a conference with
Judd, the chief of the tribe, The re
sult of the "big talk" was sent to
Washington. , The Tetons were rep
resented as hostile., but hopes were
entertained that presents would keep ,
them quiet and bring about friendly
relations between- them and the
whites. An appropriation of $500,.
000 was asked for this purpose. The :
eloquent Clagett, as -Delegate (rout
the Territory pressed the matter at
Washington, and a bill appropriating
$500,000 for the Teton Sioux and
$250,000 for the Milk River Agency,
became a law. After a goodly por
tion of the appropriation had been
expended—not on the Indians, but
among the members of the 'ring—
rumors reached Washington that the
Teton Sioux existed only in the im
agination of Simmons, Judd 416 CO.
To convince the skeptical at Wash
ington that Teton Sioux really did
exist, Simmons started with a few
Indians kept up by the ring for the
purpose of making annual visits to
etheNational Capital, and represent
ing, as occasion demanded, either of
six tribes, and for this he received
1110.000. But tbe. presence of Sim
mons and his plumed warriors •at
Washingson did not satisfy those not
in the ring. of the existence of the
Teton Sioux. It was alleged that the
Indians received no benefit from the
appropriations; the Teton Sioux did
notlive in Montana, or anywhere
else for that matter, and that the
whole thing was a fraud. Congre&l
ordered an investigation of the al
leged frauds, and the President has
appointed W. H. Clagett special
agent to makeit. - •

with one of the members of Its,ltar,

years' practice, who is now confined
in thejail of that county, for con

into court intoxicated, and persisted
in being heard as counsel for an ap

insultingly, and said he would be
heard. He was ordered to desist,
but he only clamored the more,
when he was informed ho would be
committed for contempt unless his
behaviour was changed. This flied
the heart of the disciple of Blackstone,
and ho retorted that the Judge dare
not imprison him, whereupon the
Sheriff was ordcired to lock the gen

About'twelve Months ago,.one Thet
ford had a slight difficulty with:a fel
low-citizen, and came - off second best
with a bullet in his body.
He
sought the assistance of Dr. Joyner,
who relieved him of the bullet, and
then sent in his bill, which Thetford.
not apparently being accustomed to
do such things, refused to liquidate.
Whereupon the Doctor sued the
great and chivalrous and convalescent-
Thetford, and attached the nobel
steed of that brave. This was more
than he could bear. The result was a
free fight of a lively description, in
:which Thetford, the Doctor, and a
young man employed by the Doctor
engaged, Grand result: Thetford
dead; the Doctor almost dead; and
the Doctor's young man badly bruis
ed by the stock of a pistol. Doctor's
bills, even in these regions in which
doctors are plentiful, are sometimes
sufficiently exasperating; but here we
take it out in growling. If all doc
tors who overcharge their patiepts
are to be assaulted and battered' ;by
them, we shall certainly live in dark
and bloody times. -
