SELECT STORY.
THE 110BBY OF ONE HOLMES.
Among tho friends of my collego
tl.iys was ono Holme, from Western
Now York. Ity reason of u slightly
jorky gait, which ho nftorwnrds over
came, ho wns known by his clasHtnatB
ns "Frog" Holmes. This also served
lod'stlnguish him from another Holmes
in tho samo class, who, from an unfor
tunate propensity, horo the alllterativo
and rather unenviable titlo of "Hog"'
Holmes. Assigned to the suno dor
matory with tho former, our rooms ad
joined, and, though hu was ranch older
than I, wo booh became on moderately
intimate lcrm. Thcro was nothing
remarkable about him ; of only fair
attainment in aporls and studies, ho
was neither a toast with tho students
nor a favorito with tho faculty. His
means wcro restricted j painfully so, it
spemed to most of us, who lived on a
liberal scale. This was betrayed by
bin meagro vardrobe,nnd by his choico
of n boarding house, whoso reputed
honors were second only to thoo of
tho medical school itelf. Ho Beemed
weighted down with a cense of injus
tice, too, as though the world owtd
him something belter than I hi cot, and
was not good tor the deb. Tho ono
thing that never failed to rotisit him
from depression, even in his senior
yeais, and cause him to throw off his
general reserve, were ttoiies of travel
and adventure.
IIo i.uisaeked tho libraries fur such,
and nothing camo amiss, from tho
prosaic narrative of old Hakluvt to
the latest tlighty fiction of Jules Veine.
Many a time havo I caught, him rovcl
iug in tho dire dangers of heroes by
land and sea ; and he would vow with
enthusiasm that as soon a3 he could es
cape the acaJcmiu walls to emulate
their example as far as modern circum
stances would admit.
"Think,'' ho would cry, "of what
glorious times tho English fellows of
tho Alpine clubs must have in storm
ing a peak liko tho Matterhorn, which,
of a bright afternoon, floats its snow
banner as a flag of deflanco to moitals
below 1 What cxhilaiation to over
come its dangers, and writo your namo
and address in tho loftiest snow banks
if you like, after the ambition of auy
true Yankeo 1''
Ho derided tho impossibility of pene
trating to tho North Pole, aud was
willing to bet, with a confessed inabil
ity to put up tho stakes, that it would
yet bo done. Ho would grow fairly
adow even on such Arctic themes as
this, despite his poorly furnished, half-
heated room. Colonel oellers and ho
might have shaken hands over that in
nocent deception of tho red isinclass
and candle.
Ono of his early exploits, I remem
ber, was an attempt to scalo East
Hock. 1 hose familiar with tno more
striking topographical features of Now
liaven know tho sheer precipice ot
that picturesque cliff, facing tho city,
where tho trap rock has broken away
abruptly, not unlike tho basaltic col-
nmns which aro seen defined better at
Habbit Rock, across tho Quinnipiao
and beyond Jlast llavcn. 1 hero is
scarce a foothold for a mountain goat
with his sharp hoofs, much less for a
human being with no sucli special pro
vision.
Holmes found it out to his cost, too;
and thoso of us who had gono as wit
nesses to his foolhardy effort were ob
liged to hasten to tho top by a round
about path and lower him a ropo ; for
half way up he had reached a point
whero retreat was as impossible as
I progress, and whero tho support was
i so slight for his clinging hands and
lett that his strength was well nigh ex
hausted when our aid came.
On another occasion, deaf to remon
strance, ho swam out from tho light
house to a rock near by in tlio Sound,
at tho risk of his life, and was brought
bauk in a boat. Thesti are but illus
trations of what an erratic course ho
was liable to run at anv time, the queer

combination that ho was of discourse
ment biought on by poverty and of
physical prowess ever longing to as
seit itself.
After graduation, when wo had all
shaken hands nnd sworn never to for
get each other, 1 lost sight of him.
Ho failed to put m an appearance,
either at.iho triennial reuuion or at
subsequent ones, nor was there any
word from him ; and, inasmuch as ho
made no sign, ho passed out of my
recollmien except tor his pet title,
which was always

After exhausting tho contents of mv

by a detective, presently flashed into
my miud, nnd developments forthwith
served to corroborate this theory. If
he strayed, naturally enough it seemed
to me, to tho edgo of tho railing, thoro
wandered after him a man who, be
traying thu athlete in gait and frame,
certainly kept ono oyo upon my sus
pected fellow traveler I was suro of

nt tho samo hour nnd sat alongsido of
eacli other. Thcro a single moment
convinced mo that mv companion had
not been i eared in tho luxury ho w.n
now nblo to commnnd, for whenever
he used his napkin ho bent his head
forward as ho must havo dono when a
boy to meet a Fcant-cut tnblecloth. So
much for a solitary hint cf earlier his
tory. Not far away there seated himself,
with evident reference to our position,
an entirely different persecutor this
time; ono with scrupulously neat cloth
ingjinely chiseled features and thought
ful brow, and, if I could judgti by tho
way he carved his chickon, of firm and
skilltul hand. There was no communi
cation betwe'cn him and my neighbor
across tho table, except now and then
a glance of partial recognition of each
other's presence, aa though they were
not total Btrangers.
I beeamo fascinated with the ap
parent mystery, and could not but at
tempt to fathom it, feeling ail tho
whilo half ashamed of my ill con
cealed curiosity. At the landing at
Albany three men whom I had singled
out as specially attached to my horo
gathered somewhat closer about him
than before, aud I fully counted on
seeing hint lod off by officers of thn
law, who should havn been notifiod to
apprehend so important a fugitive.
Of what had ho beer, guilty ! Was
it that ho was making a bco-lino for
Canada, that ready rofugo for a certain

science and on his track that was
hounding him to death t I though'

category of crime, any of which might
pertain to this case. There was no
telling. 1 was confident Iwas to bo
separated from my unhappy compan

bountiful table, well known to all trav
elers, was to bo my lot, and his possi
bly a prison cell.

Hero was a ray of light. Tho features
of my old college acquaintance became
outlined through his hirsute exterior
now that I knew who ho was, and with
a groat senso of relief, as though a
Court of Justice had pronounced him
innocent after an exhaustive trial, I
clapped him on the shoulder, intro-
duced myself, and greeted him warmly.
In a tew moment wo were talking
of tho old times and old friends and
with a certain dash at our present ps.
tales. My fctory was quickly told.
Tho books I fondled now were the day
book and tho cash-book, with tho led
ger as chief book of reference, instead
of tho Latin dictionary. Uut his ex
perience was tho thing that interested
mo most, and I felt that what I had
imparted must prove a poor quid pro
quo. There was a slight lingo ot tho
old reserve as I propounded a few
questions, although theru certainly
could not be tho same oauso for it as
before, for I havo said his personal out

My history, ho premised, "has been
rather a peculiar one. You know my
old fondness for travel. 1 had hardly
hoped to bo in position to gratify it,
but my father dying shortly after 1
left college betrayed tho fact that in
etead of being poveity-stricken, as his
family supposed, he had been saving

grow upon mo with all tho strength of
hereditary uisiinct a determination to
follow my father's footsteps as a bene

I argued, bo light, and, moreover, 1
could begin in a moderato way. My
other ventures prospered, and as thov
prospered I increased my insurance.

firmly fixed on a rock foundation of
tho various equitable?, miituals, ton

main Stalej of tho Union, and fairly
boxing tho compass, whoso nams uro
rendered amply familiar to every ono
of us by tho frequent visits of tho
agents with their tabular statements of
unique advantages. "Thore can bo
no drawback to thic," I Bald. "It is
setting up a dead certain thing on tho
future." I fancied I must havo been
deceived by appearances whilo aboard
tho boat. There rfas nothing moro
harmless than an ambition of this sort,
"You aro mistaken,'1 exclaimed In
with warmth. "Any excess implies n
pennlty. What bocamo a devouring
passion with mo has brought its bur

to tho passion, so the burdens havo be
01110 moro heavy and grievous to bo

throw them off, only that I cmnot bring

I begged for an exphnation.

more, that my life is too valuable to

Every day that I live is money in their
pockets, or rather in their safety vaults.
I first became aware that other people
wero taking a lively interest in my ex
istence when bathing ono day at Long
Branch. I had been carried far beyond
my depth by the undertow and I had
no idea how my strength was wasted
until I headed for the shore. I thought
1 was gono for good, but unexpectedly
a bold swimmer came to my relief and
brought me safe to Bhore. I was pro
fuse in my thanks and ofb-rcl to re
ward him handsomely, but his manner
persuaded me that it was his duty rath
er than any philanthropic motive that
prompted tho rcsouo. Shortly after
ward, whilo traveling in tho West, I
think in Texas tho stago was halted
by road agents and our lives imperill
ed. Two of tho passengers, however,
immediately transformed theiLselves
into thoroughly armed guards, and the
nttaek was repulsed at tho enemy's cost.
But 1 hardly realized the extent to
which I was oared for until ono day,
choking at tho table, my neighbor on
tho left pprang to my assistance and
extracted nn offending fish bono. My
independence had gono forever. I was
not permitted to ascend the Alps with
out the now indispensable companion.
If I wanted to sco 'Life in the Metrop
olis,' as tho play-bills put it, and take
in the characteristic quarters of old
London or Paris, thero must needs go
with mo a slugger, who might give
odds to John Sullivan ; and you havo
no idea how daik the shadow of a
shiold over ono's head till you have
walked beneath it for years. Insur
ance companies by mutual agreement
simply paid tho expenses of these life
preservers in human form. It is sus
ccptablo of simple arithmetical demon
stration. The interest on a million dol
lars at the legal rale is about $105
per day, to say nothing of tlio accumu
lating interest upon it unpaid. This
would procure fair talent in tho way
of swimmer, slugger and surgeon and
pay thoir traveling expenses as well ns
when they wcro called upon to move.
When on tho water I am in the care
of tho first, on slwro ho turns mo over
to tho second as tho Captain turns over
to tho mato his vessel in port. And I
might multiply instances of whero my
appointed guardians havo stepped be
tween mo and harm until you would
fancy I w.ts reciting afresh tho 'Tians
migfations of Indur.' that story of Mr.
Barbauld which entranced ns when wo
wore children.
"But this,'' he continued, is only ono
phaso of tho interest I excite. My
icalth has becomo n matter ot tar too
much concern to thoso for whoso ben
efit it is supposed to bo insured. Tho
institutions which havo been apprised
of their position as beneficiaries at my
death bcciii to exist in an unpleasantly

the managers are rather for my pros
perily, I fancy, than for my long life.

With a young man of limited finan
cial resources and a foiidnesSi for the
opposilo sex difficulties sometimes nriso
that aro as embarrassing as oan well
bo imagined. No young man wishts
to know among the genllo sex that ho
is anything short of n vcritablo nabob.
So long as ho can dress protty well and
look as though ho commanded a bank
account of no small proportions hu can
sail along very smoothly, but n timo
will -joinu when tho winds of adverse
circumstance blow upon him, and
nolhing but tho shrewdest management
of his craft will save him from exposure.
A young man doesn't liko it known that
bono Uh tho outside show is a pocket
book ns empty as the cradlu when
"baby's gone."
Tho writer was talkitig last night
to a resident of the cast end who has
n very hniidsomo house, a very nice
family nnd a very lucrativo business.
Ho is still young enouth to enjoy a
good joke, even if it were upon him
self. And lie related a littlo story of
the days when he whs struggling along
on Si a day and trying to Tiavo a nico
time. He camo lo Pittsburg somo fif
teen years ago, and though he had a
hard time of il, ho has passed that
point long ago where a dollar is the
size of a mountain.
"I will tell you," said he, "of a little
opisodii in my lifu that I don't think I
will forget as long as I live. I had
como up to the city from a farm down
tho river and was working in tho city
for Si a day. I always did liko good
clothe?' and ho looked down over his
lino garment", "and it was pretty hard
for mo to get along on my salary. Well,
aftur I had been hero for some time, a
young lady who lived neighbor to mo
down at the farm,camc up to town and
was visiting out in Liwrenceville. I
went out one night to call on her nnd,
as she had never been at an opera or
play, I proposed that she should go
with mo tho next night. Sho was very
glad to go. Well, tho next evening I
started out for her. I had SI. 15 in ray
pocket, and couldn't have raised a cent
moro if I had been compelled to at tho
point of a revolt er. IIowcvtr,I thought
that I could get two tickets for Si, aud
that would leave lo cents with which
to come into town, aud I depended up
on tho Btieet cars being stopped after
tho performance so that we would have
lo walk homo. I was in great spirits.
At that time tho academy wis ouo of
thu high priced theatres io town, and,
wo went there. I boldly walked up to
tho box, got two fifty-cent tickets, and
then we started for the entrance. I
showed ray tickets and tho door-keeper
told mo lo go up stairs. Well, wo
went up. I presented tho tickets, and
what was my astonishment when this
door-keeper said to mo : 'Next gallery.'
iiy this tune 1 was lecling like 1 ought
to j.-o out in tho alley and blow my
head off for a tool. But theie was no
help fot it, nnd wo again ascended a
flight of stairs. When the door-keeper
saw us ho whispered to mo: "You
musn t bring that lady in here. Why,
there's nobody up hero but boys aud
111011. It A'ouldn t do at all."
"I did not know what to do. I
hadn't a cent in my pocket. A bright
thought struck me, aud I turned to the
young lady from the country, who I
havo no doubt was wondering what it
all meant, and said : 'Come ; we'll go
home. 1 hat man there insulted me. I
won't patronize suoh a house.' And
with every mark ot indignation on my
face I escorted tho young lady out to
tho street. A new difficulty arose. I
had 110 money left for street car fare.
It was two milts out to Lawrenceville.
There wa3 no way for it but that we
should walk. I took that girl up on
Liberty street, whero there wero no cais
and walked her out to Lawrenceville.
But I promised to tako her to tho opera
house, whero I told her that thero
would bo a play the next week that
was worth something. And I did. I
got enough money to do thu thing up
111 good stylo tho next week. Hut I II
never forget the agony 1 wns in whilo
I was wandering around limt night
trving lo got into tho academy on two
lilty-tsent tickets. les, .Mr, it is not
safe for a young man to enti r society
on SI a day. 1 lint young lady married
a very wcallhy man nlterward, and
tho first timo I see her I am going to
tell her all about that 'insult' I received
at tlio academy that night. I think
she will enjoy it. l'ituhury Oironicle
