John and I.
"Come, John." said I, cheerfully, "it
renlly is time to go; If you stay any
longer I bliall be afraid to come down and
lock the aOor nfler yon."
lly visitor rose-n, proceeding thnt al
ways reminded mo of the genius emerging
from the copper vessel, ns he measured
six feet three and stood looking re
proachfully down at me.
"You nre In n great hurry to get rid of
me," he said.
Now I didn't agree with him, for he
hud made his usual cnll of two hours and
a half j having. In country phrase, taken
to "sitting up" with me so literally that
I was frequently at my wits' end to sup
press the yawn that I know would bring
a troop nfler it.
He was n flue, manly.looking fellow,
this John Cranford, old for his nge
which was the rather boyish period of
twenty-two nnd every way worthy of
being loved.i Bat I didn't love him. I
was seven year his senior; when, instead
of lettiog t(ie worm of concealment prey
on his damask cheek, he ventured to tell
his love for my mature self, I remorse
lessly seized an English prayer book.aud
pointed sternly to the clause, "A man
may not marry his grandmother." That
was three years ngo, nnd I ndded en
couragingly, "Besides, John, you nre n child, nnd
don't know your own mind."
"If a man of nineteen doesn't know bis
raiud," remonstrated my lover, "I would
like to know who should. But I will
wait for yon seven years. If you say so
fourteen as Jacob did for Rachel."
"You forge tr? I replied, laitghtug nt
uts way oi mending matters, "that n wo
man docs' not, llko wine, improve wilh
age. But seriously, John, this is absurd;
yon nre a nice boy, and I like you but
my feelings toward you nre more those
of n mother than a wife."
Tho boys eyes flashed indignantlr.and
before I could diyiue hisTntenllon he had
lifted me Irom the spot where I stood,
aud carried me iufant faphion to the bofa,
at the other eud of tie room.
'I eonld nlniost find it in my heart to
shake yotil" he muttered, as ho set me
down with emphasis
This wa3 rather like the courtship of
William of.Normnudy.and matters prom
ised to.be, quite exciting.
"Don't do that again," said I willi dig
nity, when I recovered my breath,-
"Will you marry mi?'' asked John,
somewhat tbreateniugly.
"Not just at present." I replied.
"The great, handsome fellow,"' I
thought, ns he paced the floor restlessly.
"why couldn't he fall iu love with sumo
girl of fifteen, instead of setting his nf-
lections on an old maid like me? I don't
want the boy ou my hinds, oud won't
have him!"
"As lo you boing twenly-stx," pur
sued John, iu auswer to mv thoughts.
"you say it's down in Ihe family Bible,
aud I supposed it mnst be so; but no one
would believe it ;nnd I don't care if you
are forty. You look like a pirl of six
teen, nnd you are the only woman Ishall
ever love.
O John, John! at least five million of
meu have said the same tiling before in
every known language. Nevertheless
when he fairly breaks down nnd cries.
I relent for I am dikgrncefully soft
heartedand weakly promise then nnd
tuere mat i uiii tuner keep my own
name or take his.
Aud John looked radiant at this con
cession, for love is a very dog in the
manger. It was a comfort lo know that
if he could not gather the flower him
self, noon else would.
A sort of family shipwreck bad wnfteJ
John to my threshold. Our own house
hold was sully broken up, and I found
myself comparatively young in years,
with a half invalid fatbor, a l.uqa house,
ana very little money wnat more
natural determination than tu tak
boarders? And among the first were Mr.
Crauford and his son, and sister, who
had just been wrecked tVcmtelvesby the
death ol tho wife and mother iu a foreign
laud - oue of those sudden, nuexpect
ed deaths, that leave the survivors in t
dazed condition, beoauio it issu difficult
to imagine the pay worlding who haa
been called benea in another State of bi
lug.
Mr. Cranford was one of my adnii a
tiois from the fir.t. Tnll, pale, with
dark ualraud evis, be rummled me nf
D.l'ite, only tlat he was haudbumer
and he bad such a geuera) air of know
iug everything worth konwing (wiihuu
the least pedautry, however) that 1 was
quite nfiaid of liiiu. lie was evideiily
wrapped tip in Johu, and palieut with
bla Uter which was asking quite ennugh
of Obristlan charity under the sun, for
Mrs. Sbtllgrove was an uumitlgaied
nulsauce. Such a talk! babbling of her
own and her brothers affairs with e.jual in
discretion, and treating the latter ns
though be wcro nn incapable Infant.
They stayed n 1th us for three years,
aid during that time I was fairly perse
cuted about John. Mrs. Shellgrove wrote
ma a letter ou the subject, iu which sbe
informed mo thit the 'whole family wcro
roidyto receive me with open arms a
prospect that I did not tlud nt alt allur
ing;. They seemed to have their hearts
set npou mo na n person peculiarly fitted
to train John iu the way he should go.
Everything, I was told, depended ou Ills
getting Ihe right kind of a wife.
A special Interview wilh Mr. Cranford,
at his particular request, touched me
considerably.
"1 hope," said he, "that yon will not
refuse my boy, Miss Edna, lie has set
his heart so fully npon you, and you are
everything that I could desire In a daugh
ter. I want some ouo to pet. I feel
sadly lonely nt times, nnd I am sure you
would fill tho vacant niche."
I drew my hand away from his caress,
and almost felt like bating John Cran
ford. Life with him would be oue of
case aud luxury; but I decided that I haa
rither keep boarders.
Not long after tbis the Ctnnfords con
cluded to go lo housekeeping, and Mrs.
Shellgrove was in her glory, She always
came to luncheon in her bonnet, nnd gave
minute details of all that bad been done
nnd talked of nbont tho house iu the last
twenty-four hours.
'It is really magnificent," said she,
lengthening out each sj liable. "Brother
has such perfect tnste. And he is actual
ly furnishing the library, Miss Edna,
alter your suggestjon. Ygu gf e we look,
upon you quite as one of the family."
"That is very good of you," I replied
shortly ;"but I certainly have no expecta
tion of ever belonging to it"
Mrs. Shellgrove laughed as though I
had perpetrated nn excellent joke.
Young ladies always deny these
things of course; but John tells a differ
ent story."
I rattled the cups and saucers angrily;
and my thoughts floated off, not to John,
but to John's father, sittiug lonely in the
library furnished after my suggestion.
Wasn't it, after all, my duly too marry
the family generally? '
The house was finished and moved in
to, and Jghn spent his evenings wilh me.'
used to get dreadfully tired of him.
He was' too devoted to -be at all interest
ing, and I reached that state of feeling
which, if summarily ordered to take my
choice between him and the gallows, I
would have prepared myself fur the lat
ter with a sort of cheerlnl alacrity.
I locked tbe door upon John on the
evening in question, when I had finally
gotten rid of him, with thiso things iu
lull force; and I meditated while un
dressing on some desperate move that
would bring matters to a crisis.
But tbe boy had become roused nt last.
He, too, bad reflected in the watches of
the night; nnd next day I received quite
a dignified letter from him, telling me
that busiuess called bim from the city fur
two or three weeks, and that possibly on
his return I might appreciate his devo
tion better.
I felt inexpressibly relieved. It ap
peared to me the most seusiblo move
that John had nu.de in the whole oourte
of our acquaintance, nnd I began to
breathe with moro freedom.
Time flew, however, and the three
weeks lengthened to six without John's
return. lie wrote to me, but his letters
became somowhat restrained; and I
scarcely kuew what to make of him. If
ho would only glvo mo up, I thought;
but I felt sura that be wonld hold me lo
that weak promise of mine, that I should
either become Edna Cranford or remain
Edna Carrington.
"Mr. Cranford" was announced one
evening, and I entered tbo parlor fully
prepared for au overdose of John, but
found myself oonfrouted by his father.
He looked very grave, and instantly
imagined all sorts of things, and re
proached myself for my coldness.
"John is well?" I gasped finally.
' Quite well," was the reply, in such
kind toues that I kit sure there was
something wrong.
What it was I cared not, '.ut pouted
forth my feelings impetuously to my us
tooished visitor.
"He must not come here agalul" I ex
claimed. ' I do not wish to see him.
Tell bim so, Mr; Cranford! tell bim that
I hud rather remain Edna Carrington as
he made me promise, than to become
Edna Craulord."
"And he made yon promise Ibis? was
the reply. "The stluih fellow! But, Ed
un, what am I to do without the little
girl I have been expecting? I , am very
lonely so lonely that I do not see how I
can give her up."
I glanced at him, and the room seemed
swimming around everything was
dreadfully unreal. I tried to kit down,
aud was carried tenderly to the sofa.
"Sbrvll it bo Edua Carrington or Edua
Crauford?" be wbUpered. "You need
uol break your prouiino to John
Edua Crauford," I replled.feeling lhat
I had left the world eutirely and was in
another sphere of existence.
If the thought crossed my mind lhat
Mr. Crauford had rather cheerfully sup-
planted bi son, tlieprocieiliiig wa fnlly
iuslified durum tbe isit which I soon
received from that young gi-nlienian.
tried to make it plaiu to bim that I did
him no urnng. as I had uiver professed
to love him, though nut at till mire, lhat I
wouldn't noive Ihn shaking tlireateiied
on a previous occasion, audi endeavored
tn bi at tender ns possible, for I tilt
really sorr fur him.
To my great surprise, John Unghed
heartily.
"Well, tbis Is jolhl" be exclaimed.
"And I am not a villian, after all.'. What
'4
do you think of ber, Edna?"
He, produced an ivory type in a rich
velvet case a prttly. little, bine-eyed
timpUtonj who looked about'seventeen.
"Hose," ho continued "Itose Bar
ling; tbe name suits br, doesn't II? Sbe
was staying nt my uncle's lu Maryland
that's whtre I'vobeeu visiting, yon know,
nnd she's such a dear little confiding
thing thai a fellow couldn't help lulling
iu love Itb her. And she thinks uoend
of me, yon see; r-ijb i-he's quite afraid of
me and nil tint."
John knew tl at I wnsn't n bit afraid of
him; but I felt un thler Mstcrly sort f
interest in his happiness, nnd had never
liked him to will ns nt that moment.
And this uns the dreadful news lhat his
father had come lo break to me wheu bis
narrative was nipped in tho blood by my
revelations and the interview ended in a
far more satisfactory manner than either
of us had anticipated.
So I kept my promise lo John,-niter
all; and as Mim Kopo ktpt hers, he is
now a Rtiaily marritd mln, and a very
agreeable son-in-law.
JUSTICE THAT PARALYZED THE BAR.
"Wheu I was practicing dou nt

of mine had his ear chewed t ff mo even

day we had the man up for his prelim

with his head bandaged, and so were
tho prominent citizen nnd his counsel,
and the Iriends ol both parlies. Tbe
general public ami it's a pretty tough
general publlo in Tombstone crowded
the cont-room. The hour went by, but
tbo Jnstico didn't turn up. Fiually,
Gn. O'Brian. tbe leader of tho Tomb,
stone bar, stuck his head up through n
trup.door in the floor and said in his
solemn way:
"Gentlemen, remove your hats. His
Honor is here.' And he dragged tbe
court up by the collar. He was limber
drunk, and had been sleeping it off in
tho cellar. You never saw such n long
adjournment from decency as that orna
ment of the bench nag. A bath and a
shampoo brought back gome life to bim,
and he was ablo-to walk without help lo
tho court-room. Once in the chair be
hind bis high desk he looked ull right,
and be went on with the case. We bad

tbe row, nnd subsiqncnt chewing of my

when Gen. O'Brien and Col, Stephens,
both 011 the other side, jumped up and
objected to one of my questious. It was
a law point and we argued nnd quoted
authorities for about half au bonr. It
was a pretty hot set-to, nnd we wero nil
on our feet wheu, we finished, nnd turned
around to tho court for a ruling. He
was looking straight before him up
above us, as if ho uas sleeping with bis
eyes open.
" 'Your Honor,' Raid tbe General, nf
ter a long pause, 'we are waiting for your
rulltg.'
"There was no auswer, Thcu I chip
ped in with:
" 'Your Honor.will you be good enough
to givo us your rutiug?"
'Wash tbu?' he said, trying to bring
his eyes to bear upon me.
" 'We want your ruling.'
" 'Court's a'jourued.' ho said, trying
to rise.
"We all protested, but hW only answer
was to strike his desk with his fist and
cry out again that the court was ad
journed.
" 'Won't yon fix tbe bail of this de
fendant?" demanded, the general.
" 'Now, shir,' said Ihe court, who had
got ou his feet by this time, aud was
frowning bcnvily. 'Turn 'Jin loose.
He'd oughter thawed the head off that
tenderfoot, that's what he'd o'ughtor
done.'
"Well, gentlemen, what do you think
the court did next? He just delioerntely
staggered over to tbe trap-door, lifted it,
stepped down tbe stairs until only his
hend and shoulders were above tbe floor,
aud tbeu pausing to glare nt the paraljr

' 'Yeu can all go to .'

fall, and I suppose had his sleep out un

"Ain't your rates seven dollars and a

"They are."
"Don't you advertise jour rales to be

"We do."
"Tbeu why don't ynu charge me seven
