A MISTAKEN IDENTITY Four or five mules had been stolon in and about (lien Covo, and tho thiof had been sharp enough and lucky enough to get oil with them. Tho mountain peo ple lose a razor backed hog now and then and raise no row: but when a thiof has the nerve to como along and nm off mulo tho situation assumes a serious aspect. Tho bulwarks of American lib erty totter to their foundation, aa it were, and it ia high time that tho Ameri can caglo bo unchained and encouraged to scream his loudest. Every farmer in tho Cove was out at night and on the watch, and although they may havo dif fered on religion and politico, all were agreed as to what should bo dono with tho thief in case ho returned after more mule meat and was captured. Tho above can be imacined as scene first. Scene second opens with your humble servant approaching Glen Cove at 10 o'clock of a starlight night. If I could havo had my way about it 1 should nave done tho approaching act several hours earlier; but a towheaded boy who was carrying ou.OOO freckles on his face gave mo a wrong steer on a 6hort cut, and I was lost for two or three hours. I had hoard nothing of the excitement at the Cove, and felt no fear except of tho farmer's dogs. The first building 1 came to looked to mo like a largo log houso, and. 1 turned oft tho trail and approached it. l was close up before discovering that it was a barn. I was about to turn away when several men stepped into lew and a hearty voice sung out: llirow up yer hands or wo 11 riddlo yol'- Tho man who won't throw un his hands sooner than bo riddled must want to get out of this world by a painful pro cess. "Now, then, some of ye tie himl Look out fur tricks. If he'un makes a move. be ready to bore him!" I didn't attempt any tricks, and when thoy had tied my hands behind mo nnd fastened a leading rope around my body, tho leader said: "Wo'll tako him down to Crocker's and see if Jim's boy kin identify," There wore five sturdy mountaineers, each armed with a gun, nnd I wasn't saying a word, I realized tho situation by the help of some remarks dropped as wo passed along, and I felt that it was useless to protest until tho proper mo ment came. About ten rods belovy Crocker's houso was a lino, largo tree, and as we passed it tho leader of tho band remarked: "Wo'll dnnglo he'un from that ar' limb up tharV' It was a nice, largo limb, growing at a convenient height, and I would no doubt present a good appearanco whilo doing the dangling net. What may bo called scene thiol took place at Crocker's. A gun was ilred. as we arrived, and in tho course of a quar ter of an liour live more farmers arrived. They had been out on watch also, and this was tho signal to rally. It was while waiting for this rally that I asked ono of thoso who had captured me: "Uo you suspect mo of any crime? Are you looking for n robber or murderer? "Susucctl In t'ourso wo suspect!" ho replied. i'Butlsn t it possiblo that vou. havo made a mistake?" "Reckon not; but we can soon find out. Crocker's boy Jim got a fa'r sight of ho'un by daylight, and ho'll tell." "Very well. If tho boy says ho ever saw mo in heso parts before you may go anead and hang. Ureat was tho rejoicing when the other party arrived. Not a man of them had tho least doubt that I was the party wanted, and two of them insisted that valuable tinio could bo saved by hanging mo at once. "Ye3, that's so," replied tho leader, "but we'd cut tho fun too short. Better 6avo ho'un for an hour or two. Bring him Into the house. Crocker's Ivny Jim was a lad of 12, and I no sooner laid eyes on him than I felt a presentiment of evil. Ho had been routed out of bed to Identify mo as the person lie iiad seen hiding in the woods on tho day tho last mulo was stolen. Uo niado short work of it. Hot looked at mo for ten seconds and then said: "He's he'uttl J'U Bw'ar to it on forty Bibles!" "Dead shore?" asked tho leader. "Yes." "That's 'null! Up ho goes!" It was high timo for mo to do some talking. I told them who I was, the route I had come, the people I had met, and I asked them to look over my papers. They said it would bo throwing time away, and that it wa3 selfish in mo to want to delay matters, and I guess they would have had Uieir way about it but for Mrs. Crocker. As thoy started to lead ma out doors she said: "Look yero, boys, don't make no mis take. Our Jim may he v mistook, lio un tells a smooth story, and it may be right. It haul t but fo miles back to Dobson's, whar' ho says ho took supper, and ono of ye should ndo over. Tho men grumbled and growled, but it was finally decided that ono of them should go. I was seated on a rude stool the rope tied fast about my legs, and we sat thoro to await tho return of tho mes senger Jim was questioned again and again, but lie stuck to his nrst deciara- tion. I could givo them my route tor the last three weeks, and the name of every town, village and cove, and I had letters to prove I had been to those places. But for young Jim being so sure of my Identity, I could have convinced thorn. They wero doing tho fair thing, however, by sending a messenger back. and I had no fears of the result. It wat daylight before ho returned, and he had two men with him. During the interval I was examined, cross examined and turned wrone 6ide out. The greatest doubter was an old man who had lout hit two mules. "Look ftt ht'un," ha.oxc.laJm.ed, point- 0 if 5i f $1.28 when mg at mo as 1 sat thcro. "Look at tna build of his head tho look on his face them suspiahus eyes. Ho might fulo a young man, but ho needn't try it on me. Whar s my mewls, yo onery villain?" Ten minutes alter tho men rode up I was cast looso nnd apologized to. I could rcalizo how naturally tho mistake camo about, und tho men wero not to blame. was all right with everylwdv except young Jim and tho old man. Tho latter had bragged of his cutcness, nnd his de feat nnnoyed him. Ho went off Blinking his head tint predicting that I was un to somo trick. I had forgotten tho boy when, naif an hour after breakfast. I heard a terriblo racket behind tho corn crib. Word camo that I was wanted, nnd I went out to find Jim tied bv the letr and his father trimming tho second "gad." "JSow, sonny," said tho father as ho got ready to use it, "tako a good look at that ero stump befo' ye. Two days lienco ye may bo axed to Identify it, and yomay sw'nr up and down that it's a blooming cheery trcol You jist cum powerful nigh o' gcttln' all this covo in a scrape, and I'm ii-goin' to improvo yer eyo sightl" And Jim received the nicest, most thorough und lasting licking over given to a boy south of the Ohio river.

All day long tho rain foil in torrents. and while tho Germans began to throw up intrenchments, Stark laid his plans for storming their position on tho mor row. During thoyuight a company of Berkshire militia arrived, and with them the excellent Mr. Allen, tho warlike par son of Pittsfled, who went up to Stark and said: "Colonel, our Berkshiro people navo been often called out to no introose. and if yon don't let them fight now they will novur turn out again." "Well." said Stark, "would you have us turn out now, wime it is pitch dark aud raining buckets?" "No, not juBt this minute," replied the minister. "Then," said the doughty Stark, "as soon as the Lord shall onco moro send us sunshine, if 1 don't givo you flgliting enough, I'll never ask you to como out again!" John Fiske in Atlantic. A Parrot's Power. A young delivery clerk in u Westches ter grocery nttempted to spark a servant girl in tho kitchen the other evening. Tho young woman objected, nnd, turn ing off tho gas, went into another part of tho house, leaving the would bo mash er in tho kitchen in darkness. Asa mode of revenge ho determined to kiss tho girl the next timo ho went to the house. The following day, after he had emptied tho basket, tho grocer's Lothario seized tho girl and wa3 in a fair way to get in his kiss When a poll parrot, who hud ob served tho proceeding from its perch in a cago overhead, cried out with surprising distinctness, "Mistress, mistress, man got Mary I man got Mary!" The young clerk let go in a hurry and hasn't been seen around that house since. Pittsburg Dis patch. A titory ot Jay Gould's Brother A. Mr. A. Gould, purchasing agent for tho Missouri Pacific, Jay's brother, is a peculiar man in many respects. Liko Jay, ho hasn't a word to say, but there is no outward resemblance between tho two. Tho purchasing agent does not claim to havo the bump of acquisition developed In tho phenomenal degree that has enabled Jay to lay aside few cents to buy ice cream with on a hot summer's day, in 6pito of the machinations of his envious competitors. Tho "Man About Town" was riding up in ono of tho elevators of nlio Equitable building somo timo ago, when Mr, Gould began to quiz tho gentlemanly young follow In chargo of tho lift. 'Been getting married, I hear? ho inquired gruffly. Yes," answered the lad. whilo a fiery, lurid crimson suffused his cheek; yes, sir." "House furnished?" "Yes, sir; pretty well." "Carpet?"

After riding n block sho told hor escort that tho' heat of tho car was un bearable, und at her suggestion they moved nearer tho jloor.

"Please turn tho damper in tho fctovo," said she. Certainly, madam," said tho conduc tor, and tho damper was turned. In a fow minutes tho lady began fanning herself vigorously with a hymn book, and remarked that "conductors didn't seem to have tiny judgment about heating cars."
