I hart just come ont of the post-office when I caught si;ht of a face that SK'eiut'tl familiar t. me. It was that of a man about my own aro, with bronzed f -atures and a some what attenuated iijrure. As I was trying to recall when and where I had seen him lefre our eyes met. I immediately perceived that our reeornition had been mutual, for he came toward me with a frank expres sion of pleasure and held out his hand, sayinp;: "llelloa, old fellow, who'd have thought of seeing you here? I don't know why he said this, and of course, I don't a... mpt to defend it; but it is a style of at ldress. affected by some men who are as profoundly astonished if they meet you in a restaurant as if they had run across you iu the mines of Siln-ria. I felt a little bit annoyed at his want of originality: however, I smiled pleasant ly, and said, as I shook hands: "Well, if you eome to that, old fellow, who'd have thoupht f seei ng yt u here?" We stoxl opposite each other for a few seconds, I simpering somewhat emptily at the nature of our jrreetinp;. anil strntrtflin"; to recall his name; and h". with his head slightly on one side, and an expression of courteously sup pressed amusement on his face, as if my presence on the steps of the post oflice was one of those inexplicable freaks of chance for which it is hope less to seek to assign any reasonable law. I g-ve him a few seconds to digest his astonishment, and then, feelinf that the silence was beeominir a little em barrassing, 1 said, inconsctjuently: "Well, what have you been doing all this time?" "Well," he replied, "I've been in Australia." "Oh. nh!" I ejaculated, a if it had for a moment slipped my . memory; "why, you went there" and I hesi tated, as though calculating within my clf the exact day of his unknown de parture "Three yean, ago," he put in shortly, ''and finite long enough it is, too." 1 ran over in my mind my acquaint ances of three years ago. but could re call no trace of a recollection of my new companion: so, to gain time and to gather fresh information. I asked: "And what sort of a time have you had?" "Oh, much about the same as before," he answered, with a slightly puzzled air. I candidly admit that the sensible thing for me to have done would have leen to own up and admit that I hud forgotten my friend's' personality. I'n- fortunately, I am one of those painfully constituted people who shrink with nervous horror from any thing in the nature of an explanation, and, in addi tion. I felt that I had gone too far to cry off without some appearance of in sincerity. Ilesides, he seemed to con gratulate himself so warmly upon what he insisted upon looking on as our prov idential meeting, that my lips were sealed, and I felt confirmed in the idea that if 1 let things slide a little longer, J his name wonld recur to my mind. He had slipped his arm through mine as we walked up-town with an easy sense of good-fellowship, and said: "Of course you'll dine with me this evening. Now, don't say you are enraged," he added, as I hesitated for an instant le tween my desire to have more of my companion and my disineliaation to "Ine under false pretenses; "yn know they'll be awfully disappointed if they hear I have met you and let you off without a long talk, and I join them to morrow." I felt constrained to consent against my Wtter judgment and added, in a playfully solicitous manner: "And how are they all?" "Oh, they are all tip-top all except the Colonel;" after a pause and with a slightly subdued air "I don't think he has ever quite got over that affair." "Ah," I rejoined, shaking my head sympathetically, "one doesn't get over that sort of thing in a day, you know; but the others?" "What others?" he said, bluntly. I hesitated, and rejoined, vaguely: "Were there not some others?" He pondered heavily for a few sec onds before replying: "Yes, I believe there were some others, but they made no difference." I was just murmuring: "Very likely not," when he turned to me abrubtly and said: "I hope you don't think he came badly out of that business?" His hand seemed to relax its pressure on my arm, as if he was preparing him self for some censure or act of coldness an my parL I felt touched by this little proof of his sensitiveness to my good opinion, and presseti his fingers as I rejoined, warmly: "I never, never heard any one speak otherwise than highly of his con duct in the matter." He stopped and said, shortly: "Why, who knows any thing about it? I thought you and I had it all to ourselves." "Yes, yes;" I faltered, and added, "you know you have been away for some time, old fellow." It did not seem to fit in very well; but he accepted it us an argument, and said: "There is something in that, but don't let people talk about it. I know he relies upon you and me." . There was something so touching in the reliance of this unknown, that a "HK IS A rBBZMAH WHOM THE TBCTH EBENSBURG. PA., glow of sympathetic affection warmed my heart, and I resolved on the spot that hi confidence should not be mis placed. Come what might, the secret of that old man's life should never le lctrayed by me. Others might make it a subject of club gossip or tea-table tittle-tattle, but no word of mine should add one drop to the cup of bit terness that bad leen placed at his lips. There are passages in the lives of all of us which we would wish to have buried in oblivion tho thought less follies of youth, the unworthy am bitions of manhood, and the selfish jealousies of old age; who is there that can stand up and say there is no epi sode in his life he wonld not have ex punged, forgotten or condoned? We had turned into a restaurant for a bit of dinner, and those thoughts passed through my mind as we ate our tish. My companion powdered sadly for a few seconds, and then, shaking himself together as though to throw off an unpleasant train of thought, said; "Xow, tell me about yourself, your wife and family." llefore I had time- to reflect upon what might be the result of my dis closure, I blurted out the simple truth: "I have no wife." He looked intensely surprised, as he said: "My dear fellow, I am very sorry. I never heard" He paused, inquir ingly, and again I blurted out: "I never had one." A look of extreme pain spread over his face as he heard this. He leaned across the table, and laying his hand on mine, said, with infinite sympathy: "I see it all; I ought not to have asked you. Forgive me. old fellow, and forget that I have said these words." I gave him a clammy hand ami turned away, lest he should detect the con scious guiltiness of my face. I liad be come confirmed in a suspicion that had lH-rn gradually dawning upon my mind, that I had never set eyes upon my host before that day, and that 1 had been carried away by some inexplicable chance resemblance to- some remote ac quaintance, and by his own apparent cordial recognition of myself. There was no blinking the- facts, however. Kverylxxly that hf mentioned was a total stranger to me. while every inci tlvnt that I mentioned with a view to drawing him out seemed to find his mind a blank. My sole object now was to extricate myself from my false posi tion without detection. I gt absolute ly and hopelessly involved in fable and falsehood, and after having-thus lightly taken away the good name of the sup posititious mother of my children, a sort of despair took possession of me, and a wild desire to avoid exposure or explanation at any cost. The dinner was good, the wine excel lent, and my host geniality itself. We sat late anil drank freely, and over our errps I Mush to think of the people I married, the oltl fneiKls 1 bnrietl and the characters I took away. l!ut he would have news, and what was I to do? Much of my information seemed to afford him matter for astonishment, and often he ejaculated: "You don't tell me so," as I conveyed some specially startling piece of person al news. However, the time for departure came at last, and my mind was torn with con flicting desire to escape detection and to ascertain his identity. You'll come and see us." he said cor dially, as we shook hands preliminary to leaving. "Yes, certainly." I replied; "but where are you putting up now?" "Oh, the same old quarters," he re turned "What is the best way to get there?" I asked, as a last and altogether desper ate hope. "You can't do Wtter than take a cab," he said; and we parted never to meet again. St. James" (iazette. AN OLD-TIME INDIAN TERROR. An Aged Indian Warrior Wbo for Ten Years Terrorised the Settler, of Arisone. They were talking about the Indian outbreak, says the New York Her ald, when one of the party who had been for many years a resident of Ari zona Territory, remarked: 'Why, down in Arizona we lived for fifteen years in a state of terror on ac count of a marauding band of Apaches that had things pretty much their own way all this time, in spite of all that the Government troops could do to keep them in check. "I call to mind particularly Old Vi- torio. There was a warrior for you. He commanded a band of some two hundretl bucks. They were the Chira- t cahua Apaches, and the murders, rob leries and depredations committed by that band during those ten years in ' which they were on the warpath are al- . most incredible. J "Old Victorio was nearly ninety years ! of age when the troubles began. He j ruled those redskins with a rod of iron in Bpite of his years. And he was para lyzed, too, completely paralyzed. He was only able to use his left arm a lit tle, just enough to lift a cigarette to his mouth. "He was constantly in the saddle, and had to be strapped on like a bale of goods. His band had the finest ponies to be found anywhere. They would sometimes appear at one place and in less than twenty-four hours you would hear of them at some place one hun dred miles distant. All throughout Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico Old Victorio continued his raids until the settlers finally gave up in despair. The Government troops appeared to be utterly powerless in the matter. "Why, that band of redskins would sometimes plunder a wagon train right under the noses of the troopers, and by the time the latter were mounted and ready to start in pursuit, they would be out of sight. The next day, perhaps, the wires would tell of some fresh depredation committed by the same band in a section of the country over one hundred miles away. "This old war dg, however, was finally rounded up and shot. He died in the saddle, fighting to the last, and his band, what was left of it, dispersed. Of course the settlers heard of it and were delighted. Dismay followed, however, when C'onchise took the field. This Indian ran things pretty much the same way for five years, and then came Old Geronimo." Enthaslaara In Chicago. "Whoop! Hooray:' yelled th Chica go man. "What's up?" queried his com panion.

"Some of the actors generally come back here to smoke their pipes and chat." "You must hear them tell some amus ing experiences of stage life." "Any number of them. The other night Win. Harris, of Khea's company, told me of an incident that happened when he was supporting Charlotte Citsh man. They did 'Henry the Eighth in a small pl:i'e one night, and after the play was over the audience still re mained in t'.ic-ir seats. 'Henry the Kighth is in liv:- aets. but in Charlotte Cuslnnan's version it ends with tlie death of Katharine, that scene closing the fourth act. "Mr. Harris was playing1 Cr-rdin-.il Woolsoy and as he finished in the third act had time to change his dress before the performance was over. Seeing that the audience had no intention of leav ing. Miss Cushman called to him: 'Mr. Harris, you must go out and make an announcement: th audience do not know the play is finished. 'The lute Cardinal stepped ltcforethe curtain: 'Indies and gentlemen I am sorry to inform yon the performance is over. The play concluded with the death of Qnecn Katharine. If you are waiting for the funeral, that will not take place until next week. " "I'll warrant he made a 'quick exit' after that. Hut tell ine some of your own experiences, you were on the stajre. i were you not?" - i "Yes for one season. "I hen you must have a number of amusing reminiscences stored away in your hat." The stage door-keeper shook his head. "No; nothing of a humorous na ture took place that trip. We played intnhard luck. I t-.-ll you." he went on, earnestly, "that wat the hardest four months I ever experienced, and is we hadn't struck one man with a heart in his IkwIv I don't know what would have lieecime of us all." "Who was he? How did it happen?" "It was down j k-hniond. Ind. We were to play tnere two nights New Y'ear's and the Saturday foil: -wing. We had been placing to had 1umhc ever since we stnrte-d and cant:- into the town on our trunks. New Year's night we thought v.-ould certainly bring us a bi.f house, but it didn't. There was a local minstrel show in town, and we played to empty seats. The night fol lowing we p'ayed to four dollars. After the performance we held a consultation end decided to close and go to Cincin nati on our trunks. We could r.ot pay our board bill and the landlord of the hotel threatened to attach our bagjrage. Sure enough, when we got up early Sunday morning and went down to t'ae depot we found the trunks in charge of a sheriff. That effectually prevented our leaving town. "There was nothing to do but gr back to the hotel and wait until some thing turned up or the landlord turned us out. Back we went, and the man ager tried to argue the matter with the proprietor, while the rest of us gathered around the stove in the ofiice. The landlord was inflexible. Unless we could pay him his money he would hold our trunks. I run this hotel for money, not as a charitable institution, and I don't want you people around here any longer, he exclaimed. "At this moment a benevolent-looking old gentleman with long white whiskers entered the ofiice. lie was the landlord's father and part owner of the hotel. " ''WhaCs the trouble? he asked. "His son explained " 'Well, you people are in hard luck and I'm sorry for you.' said the old gen tleman, kindly, 'but let's see what can be done.' "We all felt grateful to him at once. He paused a moment to consider the situation, then asked: 'nave you had breakfast?' " 'No, sir.' "The younger man had not per mitted us to enter the dining-room that morning. " 'Then all of you go in and eat, and Charles (turning to his son), let them have the rooms they occupied last night "Charles started to make some objec tions, but the kind-hearted old gentle man stopped him. " Im not going to see these people turned into the street on this cold day, there's women and children among "em and they stay here until to-morrow at least.' "But father,' the son persisted, they wont be any better off to-morrow and we'll have them on our hands. " 'No matter! Iicsides, I'm going to do something for "em right away. Now all of you go in and get breakfast and 111 be back shortly.' "He was gone for three hours and when he came back he had a paper signed by the mayor and a dozen of the most influential citizens of the town, telling of our position and asking tin- 81. GO and people " Kiehmolld to five tia. a Uetie-tlt M outlay' D ight 'AH die men who names are- n that paper. he explained, 'are not go ing to do any thing ti-m mv but sell tL-kcts for you. We will -get out some hand-bills in the morning and if hard work will fill the housey tomorrow night it will' le packed. "He kept his word to the letter. The theater wouM not hold all the people that came, anl a better disposed audi ence I never saw. They applauded every thing and everybody. After the fourth act our manager went ln-fore' the curtain to make a speech, and In-fore he finished half of the audience were in tears. Every word of thanks that be uttered came from his heart. He was a well-edueated man, but he didn't try to use any big words. He simply told them how grateful he and every member' of the company were to them all. We- were crying back of the curtiin. and when he spoke of the landlord's father we all cheered and the audience cheered with us. After the performance was over the audience crowded on the stage and we were kept busy shaking hands for the next hour. They felt they had d ne a P.kkI action and they fairly overflowed with kindly feeling toward us. The manager's wife- had her- little girl in her arms and all of the ladies kissed the child and the men tucked money into herhand. When the landlord's father came upon the stage she rushed up to him and made the child put its arms around his neck and kiss him and then the kissed him and everyb'xlv cheered. The splendid old fellow cor.ldn't keep the tears back and he just sUxxl there with the child in his arms and made a speech. T tell you, neigh txrs,' he said. if yon all feel as happy over what you have-done for the people- here as I do, yoa won't lx ashamed of your tears.

Edward Weitzel. in Ietroit Kree Press. AN ANCIENT AMERICAN TOWN. Sojtse of the Oneer Feat urea of I jAajuni. New Mcsioo. Eagrmu is built upon a rounded eleva tion of rock. Its appearance is exactly that of a Syrian village, the same clus ter of litth. square. Hat-roofed houses in terraces, the same l.rown color, ami under the same pale blue sky. And the rese-mblance was completed by the fig ures of the women on the rtxjfs; or mov ing down the slope, erect and supple, carrying on the head a water-jar, and holding together by oue hand the' man tle' worn like a Spanish relio.o. The village is irregularly built, without much rvgard to streets or alleys, and it h:is no special side of entrance or ap proach. Every side presents a blank wall of adolx.-. and the entrance seems quite by chance. Yet the way we went over the smxth slope w as worn here and there iu channels three or four inches deep, as if by the passing f-t of many generations. The only seraLlane-e of architectural regularity is iu tlie plaza, not perfectly square, upon which some of the houses look, and where- the annual dances take place. The houses have the effect of Wing built in ter races rising one above the other, but it is hard ta say exactly what a house is whether it is any tiling; more than one room. You can reach some of the houses only by the aid of a ladder. Y'ou enter others from the street. If ; you will go further, you must climb a ladder, which brings you to the roof, that is used as the sitting-room or dxr yard of the next room. From this room you may still ascend to others, or you may pass through low and small doorways to other apartments. It is all hap-hazard, but exceedingly pictur esque. You may find some of the fam ily in every room, or they may be gath- , ercd, women and babies, on a roof which is protected by a parapet. At the time of our visit the men were all ! away at work in their fields. Notwith standing the houses are only sun-dried bricks, ami the village is without water or street commissioners. I was struck by the universal cleanliness. There was no refuse in the corners or alleys, no odors, and many of the rooms were patterns of neatness. To Ik sure, an old woman here and there kept her liens in an adjoining apartment above her own, and there was the litter of children and of rather careless house keeping. Uut, taken altogether, the town is an example for some more civ ilized, whose inhabitants wash oftener and dress better than ' these Indians. Charles Dudley Warner, in Harper's Magazine. 1 11-Assorted tiuesta. Uig dinner parties of ill-assorted guests are failures from a conversation alist point of view.

The hermit Thoreau in his hut at Yaldvn was wiser than the man who looks for society in a crush.

In our youth the country was wilder than now; but. it might truly be- said of her that s-.hc was not brought up in the woo-.ls to le seared by an- owl. She would traverse the most unfrequented paths, wondering at my timidity. There was nothing muse-ullne, hw ver; in Julia's appearance; she- was simply a sweet, joyous child, with an absence of fear in her character and a consequent clearness of p.-rceotiou iu all cases of nppfc-ied or real thtuger.. When 1 was sixteen aud .lulia eight een, my father hired a lalxrt-r named Hans .Schmidt, a Hessian, who had been in the Itritish service, and ho. at the close of the war, had deserted from his regiment. lLe was a powerful' man, with a heai-y imhrutcd countenance: and both Julia, and myself were struck at tlie very first with un iutuitive dread of him. The feeling in Julia hardly txk the character of fear, but was one rather of loathing: yet. if. she-could have feared any thing. 1 think it would have been that man. for she- hail an in tuitive perception that he was detiiiiu lilie, even beyond t hat his looks dem onstrated. One evening she read of a horrible murder that thrilled our blood, and upon turning her eyes from the paper they encountered those of Hans Schmidt. There wis something terri ble in his glance, and from thnt nu ment she resolved that the villain should be turned away. As her wishes and opinions were always of much weight with my father, the latter gave the Hessian his discharge. S,m after this. Julia sml I were left alone in the hoiw, both our father :md i:rl!ier 1k iug aliscut tut a visit until t he f. U iv.ing day. ami we liapp.-ncd t- lx- without a female servant at the moment (for we only kept one). So Julia and I had Ik-cii remarkaM v busv'i arlvmorn- mg making vnrt'His houseltoid arrcnije ments with which we intended t- sur prise and please the old peoriae- upon their return, and being unusually weary proceeded to our chamlx-r ut an early . hour in the evening. We had partially disrolx-d ourselves when Julia turned hastilv t- the window. 1 d vlarc," sh-- s:iid. "the evcliiivr is so pleasant tiiat it is a pity t remain indoors. I don't feel a bit sle-epy: let's go down upon tlie lawn." W e descended the stairs. How little I imagined what was in Julia's heart! Harry Irving came up just as we reached the lawn. He was only casual ly passing the house. Julia engaged him in conversation aud he came and joined us. My sister was more than usually lively and engaging. "Where are Tom and Edgar, and Will?" she asked, alluding to his brothers. "Oh," replied Harry, "they are over at uncle's. They will be coming back soon. Ilis uncle's farm was a mile off, and his own house was alxvut half that dis tance. The three young men soon ap peared upon the road; ami, to my sur prise, Julia arose and proceeded to meet them. Then she returned to Harry and me, and called us aside from the door. ''Now. Mary, you need not 1h nerv ous." she tvaiiL "Keep quiet and do not speak alKive your breath. There is a man under our ld there there;'" and she clapped her hands over my mouth " a man under our bed. nnd the young Irvings are going up to secure htm!" They all provided themselves with heavy sticks; and then, guided by Ju lia, ascendetl the stairs. As to myself, I could not follow them, but remained trembling and moaning upon the doorstep. Never did I expe rience a greater sense of relief than when the assaulting party descended, looking partly ashamed and partly amused, having found nothing to justify their sudden armament- Julia was in an agony of mortification and wept piteonsly, for, although but half con vinced that her apprehension had been groundless, the idea that she. who had never till now feared any thing, had placed herself in a light so ludicrous in the eyes of those young men, was in supportable. The man, she said, must have taken the alarm and fled out of the 1 ack door, for she could not have been so deceived. Our young friends. more in pity for her mortification than from any lelicf in the reality of the uight intruder, offered to remain in the vicinity till morning, but she would not listen to the proposal, and they thus took their departure. I was very sorry to see them go, and watched their forms till they were out of sight, f -r the affair of the evening had almost frightened me into hysterics. Julia, however, at once rushed to the chartl-or. and flin-.-iitg herself on the bed. continued bitt.-rly weeping. She ha. I exhibited herself in a character wlvch she despised, and her man under tli-.- bed would Ik- the talk of the neigh- lrhod. I followet' her, but neither of us could compose, ourselves buffi cicntly to sleeo. The clock on the mantel piece struck eleven; and then 'tick, tick, tick," it went on for the next dreary hour. Julia at length ceased weeping and lay in thought, enly an occasional sigh betray ing her wakefulness. Again the clock Struck, "ting, ting, ting;" but it had not reached the final stroke when Julia, springing lightly from the bed. Hung herself upon an immense chest at the furt liert iid of the room. .- - AclveiMirsing- 1 iktc-,.

The-re was a faint streak of moriiiiif- in the sky: and there-, upon tlie chest, we s:it at.d watched for the. gleam to broaden. Suddenly there was a tremendous strugirle tx-neatii us. as if the ruilian had concentrated all his energies in a titia.1 effort. At my end of the chest' there was a crash, and immediately the German's feet protrnded thnU'.rh the nx-rtun that they had f revd in tlie hoard.

Sometime during the morning 1 found myself in bed. with. Julia and several of the neighboring women stamling alxtut me. Julia clasped me in her arms and cried, tbe- was so rejoiced that tlie fright had not. killed me. "We are safe. Mary." she said. "Harry Irving was near the houst- all night. He returned after seeming to - go home. It was not right, he said to himself, for us to remain alone here all night, especially as our father was knowu t- have money iu the house.

Julia became the wife of Henry Irv iug. and a most excellent wife .he was. Magnanimous and unrcvengef ul, she was p-.-rhaps the only one who felt no gratification at the fate of old Hans Schmidt, but rather a pity for the ig norance which had steeped him in crime. N. Y.
