John Boyle O'Ket! illy In Pilot. ONE OF THE OLD MASTERS. The old plnntcr lay dying. Ho had been a long tlmo ailing, worn down by anxiety and trouble, borno uncomplain ingly and in silence, lie was now going of a slow disease, and lay In the middle ground, between tho here nnd tho here after, awaiting his summons. He had onco been a Ke.i island nabob, ho was now a pauper; all ha and his wife had to depend on was the meager salary of a grandson, a lad of 18. But, reduced as ho was, Mr. Conner was never too poor to lend a helping hand to any of his former slaves, who were old anu teeuie liko himself. And now in his last Illness three of them came to assist his wife in nursing him. They were old Daddy Zack, the former coachman (whose carriage and horses had lone since vanished): Tobe, the chief butler, whose pantry had be come a thing of tho past, and old Maum Dinah, tho former cook, whoso turtle soup had onco had a coast wide reputa' tion. Maum Dinah, now Mrs. Ragsdll, mado a precarious living at scouring; ana Zack, now Mr. Zackery icake- vet more uncertain one, as a scrubbing brushes. Tobe, now Tobias Conner, was a well to do citizen and chief cook at the hotel. Neverthe less ho throw up his place and came to nurso Ids old master, and between him and the two old darkies a deadly rivalry raged as to who should be nurse. Worn out with watching, old Mrs. Con, per had gono to He down, leaving tho patient In charge of Tobe. H o was a tall, very black man of 40, and some re4 marks on his face made him look tattooed and cuvo him a flerco appearance. The sick man was in a mud delirium, his mind wandering back a quarter of a century to the days of his prosperity. He talked incessantly, but received only monosyllable answers from Tobe, who was naturally taciturn. With some diffi culty Tie succeeded in lulling Ills patient to sleep, when the uoor slowly croaked open and old Zack, taking advantage of his mistress absence, crept in m crying shoes. Who is that?" asked the old man, rousing up. Me, Bull, Sach riah, sub, said Mr. Zachery Rakestraw, going back to his plantation name. "Well, Zack, what is lit nave you at tended to tho horses?" Old Zack was speechless, till a fierce nod from Tobe, who was his nephew, made him mutter, "Yes, auh." "Where aro the horses?" asked Mr. C- "oticinS ; Pantomime. stammered oldZaok. "Tell 'em dey In the ya'd, you pie fool," muttered tho respectful nephew "Dey in do ya cl, sun," repeated Zaclc; "de stable ya'd, 1 mean." "Saddle Mazeppa and bring hlra round for me to ride, and Tobe, help me on with my clothes." Ho struggled to rise, but Tobe gently laid him back upon the pillow. Not today, mausser; you ent well nuCf. Wha' you come in yer an' start him for?" he added, turning fiercely on old Zack. "I wantcr see 'em. I sho 'e my Maus ser well as yourn," said the old man in an aggrieved tone. "Dat 8 so, said Maum Uinah, joining Daddy Zack at tho door. Mr, Conner ceasod to atrugglo with Tobe to Inquire: "Who s there?" "Dinah, sur," said tlio old woman; "dunno you know me, mausser?" "Of course, Dinah; I have invited Col. Tyler aud Governor Gates to dine with me today; give us a good dinner, Dinah." At this old Dinah grew as ashy pale as sho could, for both the gentlemen had been in their graves, for thirty years. "Good Laud!" she muttered, ' who gwlno cook fer sperits?' nnd she hastily re, treated. s Yes," said Mr. Conner, whose thoughts now ran in a new chanuel; "they'll both come in their sail boats, ! lyaway and Waterwiteh; you know them, Tobe? ' "Yes, uiaufser, said the imperturba ble negro. "And my boat, the Seagull, I want you to get her out." "Yes, mausser." "We'll have a race this evening; seo that everything is ready," "Yes, mausser," "I'll take Zack with me to steer." At this IJaildv Zunk nliliiliWod. "I'll go in no fcperit boat," he muttered, and shuffled out. "Sa'vo you right fer comin' yer way you had 110 business," muttered Tobe, "De idy ob uiindin' u delirious pussonl" "She is the fastest sailer on the sound,' continued the old man, "Yes, mausser," repeated the Impass, Ivo Tobe. "She's built for speed, forty feet long and a foot wide. "iQood Laudl" ejaculated Tobe, thrown 0.11 his guard, "wliat a liel Dat aim nutbiu' but er hoss trough." After a mo ment ho recovered from his surprise, and said in beguiling uocelita, "S'posen you tek er nap, euli, befo' the gentleman come, so you 11 xeei iresn en iibeiy. Ue gently turned the sick man over, smoothed the pJUow under his head, and soothed him to sleep, Summer had passed aud autumn had oouie, aud nature was preparlug herself to meet tho deatli that winter brings. j With the waning season the old planter . - I llfo had ebbed nwny, very slowly but surely, as if in sympathy with tho ap proaching death of naturo, he was going to his own painlessly, oalmly, surround ed by his family and, his old servants. Seeing these, a quarter ot n century Inpsed out of his life, and ho still fancied himself back in his island home, sur rounded by tho slaves ho had been raised with, and his old neighbors, dead this many a year. His servants viewed this pliaso of his sickness with superstitious Borrow, " 'B gwlne berry fas'," said Maum Di nah, wiping her eyes in the corner of her apron. " 'E talk constant ob de dead, er sho sign 'o'll soon bo wid 'em." As the sun was setting Mr. Conner fell asleep, and his wife left the Blok room to see a friend, who had called, leaving I Tobo alone with the sick man. Allhty onco he roused up, and his eyes fell on the faithful nurso standing motionless at the foot of the bed. "I am not so well, Tobo, I feel weak. If any one calls, I'll see them in here." "Nobody gwlno call," said Tobo, "so don't worry, suh." "Good evening, doctor," said the sick man, looking over Tobe's Bhoulder and towards the door. "Walk in." Tobo turned and looked, but saw no one. "Placo a chair for Dr. McAllister, Tobe, hero close to me." Tobe hesitated, but obeyed as his mas ter said: "Sit down, doctor. I don't feel so well today. Why hero comes Mr, Mor rison and Judge Derry and Mr. Lasalles. 'Tis most kind, gentlemen, to call. It is quite a while since I've seen you. (As they had been doad many years it was very likely.) Tobo, place chairs for the gentlemen." In spite of his vaunted courage, Tobe's face began to turn ashy, and tho whites of his eyes to show, but ho strung the chairs along tho bedsido and listened aghast, while Mr, Conner affably con versed with them. The evening shades were creeping into the room and gavo a weird look to things. Presently tho old man's eyes were again riveted upon tho door. "Here comes Col. Tyler and Governor Gates. Chairs, Tobe. Como in, gentle men. I'm so glad to seo you. Tobe, what are you about? Why don't you pluoo chairs for them?" "Dey's none," stammered Tobo. "Walt er minute, suh, toll I kin git some," and ho hurried to tho door. "Misstsl" ho whispered. Mrs. Conner hastened in, "De room Is full ob sperits," ho gasped. "I can't stay. In yero alono. De sperits and gossea Is jis' a-swarrain' roun' de bed." And Tobe set his teeth fast to keep them from ohattering as ho list ened to his master talking with the dead. Mrs. Conner seated herself on the side' of the bed, and at last succeeded in lulling the old man back to sleep, nnd from that sleep he never woke. Night came and settlod on them, but still he slept on; and when the sun rose, the next morning tho old planter had' joined the friends whom his servants be lieved had como for him, and gone upon his tourney to the hereafter. The old negroes wept when they found ho had left them. "De bes' mausser nigger eber hadl" walled Maum Dinah, wringing her hands In the kitchen. Jetty,, the cook, a girl of tho new egimo, viewed her with contempt, Masted cried Jetty in scorn, "Master! Why you s freer "Yes, wailed the old woman, '"free ter sta'vo!

Freedom mout do fer young nig ger, but ole, done tas' nigger's belter oil in slabery, wid nuttin to do en plenty ter eat, and sho wept bitterly. " E so fer true! 'iH so fer true!" sobbed old Zack.

Dut If there Is a man in charge of the wire rope he usually embraces his opportunity to look at hla passengers, es pecially if his shaft is in a miscellaneous olllce building.

It was while working for one of the numerous cattle companies that ranched in the Indian territory that I met "Two Bellies," Ho had only lately returned from an enforced visit to Florida, where ho had been sent a few years before for robbing a soldier on pay day. Uti-niB return the agent suggested that e go lo work on tho agency's farm along itn a jiair a dozen other ex-braves, who ero trying to follow tho white man's methods. But Two Dollies, in acquiring knowledge, had been equally careful to forget nothing. One tiling he remem bered with remarkable clearness, was mt manual labor, under any nnd all cir cumstances, was something beneath a amor. After hanging nround tho post awhile. he drifted out into the range nnd found temporary home in the Crazy Mulo village, near which I was stationed as a lino rider." Thojigh I hnd never met hint, I had n fal r idea of lwo nellies appearanco- frpm tho description the squaws and pap- poosea nau given mo, and, as 1 sat smok ing in front of my "tcepo"ono evening and saw a buck approaching, the moment my eycs"rcsted upon him I felt certain that it wa9 the celebrated exile. His costume was a striking one. even In this land of striking costumes. On his head was a straw hat, with alternate bands running from the crown to tho edge of the brim; a calico shirt of gaudy color, cut "night shirt style," split from the collar down, and plnucd at the lower extremities with a small flag; a pair of army pants (worn entire) hid his lower limbs; on his feet, calf skin moccasins with tho hair on, nnd to cap It all, a black corset that did not meet by half n ddzon inches, completed an outfit that ould have attracted attention any where. After shaking hands ho stepped back and drew his hands across his stomach, accompanying the movement with r. whining sound, and by this pantomime (known to all cowboys) announced that he was hungry. Having on hand some stale bread and a pot of beans of which 1 had grown auspicious, I told him to help himself. Watching him cloan up every thing in sight, I came to the conclusion that no matter how much his parents had erred In other matters, they had certainly hit lho nnll on the head in naming one of their oifspring. He finally arose, let out his belt a hole or two, borrowed a cigarette, shook hands again, and in n few minutes I saw the flag fluttering down the trail that led to tho village. I was not much sur prised to ceo Two Bellies next morn- iig, accompanied by tlireo congenial friends, with their usual following of dogs, approaching the "teepe." With wavo of the hand, that included bucks and dogs, as well as a mulo I had sad dled, ho said: "Me sisters Ned Chuck away, want some." Throwing as muoh sarcasm as possible Into my volco, I told him I was sorry to disappoint tho ladles, but, owing to an unexpected run on tho larder last night, this" boarding house was closed. J then rode off, leaving them tlghten- Ing-their belts and preparing to move 011 a plum thicket. On my return in the afternoon I found Two Bellies on guard. A small pllo of firewood and a fresh bpekotof water Indicated that he was trying to regain the favor ho had lost by lira heedless action In the morning, then explained to him my orders from headquarters in regard to feeding his people, and he, in return, said that Crazy Mulo was dieting his followers on dog meat, preparing for a feast and dance soon to bo held, and, while he had no ob jection to the festivities, during his con finement ho had lost his appetite for that dish. (I thought this a pity, for with his capacity he could very materially havo reduced the cniuno census.) I promised, however, to fill him up Diioo ji day, and In return he was to keep me supplied with wood and water, and bring up my mount of horses for me .every afternoon. This Kttle arrangement was debtlued to be broken up, and from an unexpected quarter. Crazy Mule, who in addition to iiiadu ties as chieftain of this particular vil lage, was also head "medicine man" for tho surrounding villages, soon heard of It, and his jealousy was aroused. Indian though ho was, his heart yearned for the flesh pots of tho "pale faoe," aud if any eating was to be dono he proposed to have n hand in it himself. This, in con nectlon with the remark that "Crasty Mulo had tho largest practice and the largest graveyard of any medlcino man In the tribe" (said witticism being at tributed- to Two Bellies), aroused the passions of the old mau, and, in the Ian guage of tho cowboys, ho fired Two Bel lies, and fired him bodily. On the morning of his departure from the village, Two Bellies stopped and told me of his troubles, winding up by say ingi "May be so, pretty soon, long time come, things oven up. From this. I judged that sooner or later no nuemieu to square accounts. iNot long after this event, I went Boutli on a cow hunt, to be gone a couple of UlUllllin. IIUIU llUig IU 11U1U IUU1UID reached its of an effort being mado by a Byndli-atu composed of various cattle companies to lease the Cheyenne reser vation. On our return to headquarters, we found the wholo tribe in an uproar. and discussing the proposition, which was soon to be submitted to a vote. In the thickest of the light, iu fact the rec ognized leader ot the anti-leasers was Crazy Mule. With a knowledge bom of bitter experience, ho know that any scheme having for one of Us ohlef ob jects tho "advancement ' of the Indian should bo examined into, especially if the chief promoters of that scheme were their ancient enemy, the cattlemen. In the propoked leasa he saw the entering wedge that was to divide their reserve tion and turn over to the white man their last foothold on earth. The agents of the syndicate, eurly iu the skirmish, recognized that It would be impossible to win him over. His hatred of the palo faoe and his determi naton, when once his mind was made up, hud long siuuo passed into a proverb, Tlioy feared his influence, for his ability as an orator had been proven In many councils in the past, and on the lease jjuestion he was fighting with a "courage born or deenir. He worked upon the Inborn hatralof his followers toward the white, and txmjured them, as they loved their home, lo resist, oven to bloodshed the proposition. As the vote would be close, thoso who liad the matter iu oharge determined to make inroads on Crazy Mule'a personal louowera by the liberal ubo ot the al mighty dollar. The only difficulty was to nnd some one bold enough to carry out mis piau and distribute the neednu. in loosing aooat tnem tneir even icotwi on Two Bellies, and In him tlioy found one not only willing but anxious "to beard tho lion in his den." Hero was the very chance for whfoh ho longed to make "things even up," and besides who could tell but that in the general Bhuffle that would follow the now deal he might land somewhere near the top? As he had nothing to lose and everything to gain, it was worth trying. A day or two before the oleotiou he ppearod In the village with tho sluews of war in the shape of silver dollars (for a mank-et incuan will havo nothing to do with paper money), paraBols. vellow paint, chewing gum, nnd other things dear to tho red man's heart, besides a commission to count the ballot nnd bring tho returns to the agency. It would have taken a keen ward worker to Iwvo told on tho mornlnir of election how tho vlllaco would vote. History tells 11s that when tho ballots ere counted the leasers had carried idr point by n bare maioritv: but it forgcta to mention that, in order to do this, more vobes wore counted than there were voters to cast them. When tho old medlcino man. bv nn hours (druggie with mental arithmetic nnd a final count bv noses (the Indian method of balloting), had discovered this facl, he got out his Winchester and went nrolind innuirinir for Two Bailies. That woilhy, by this time, howover. was far- on tho road to the agency, and, as a cow boy who met him expressed it, "He had move on himself like a man who was riding font record." Whether this means was fair or foul. the leasers carried tho day, and tho larger part of tho reservation was turned over Ui thu cow men. A change was soon noticeable. Substantial buildings took the plnco of dugouts; corrals were built nt convenient points; survovorsran the lines between tho ranges and wire icnces followed close behind. Down at tho agency Two Bellies was enjoying the ruward for the part he had played, and, u his work could be judged by the reward, he had played It well. Illght Into the swim he landed, and lu n short time was putting on tho aire of a man who owned tho pool itself. Discard ing tho tribal blanket and "goe string," le oonned a major general s coat, serine bottom pants and had his moccasins beaded to tlio heel. After tho excitement that followed the election had subsided ho began to lay his plans for tho futurn. lho lirst thing on the cards was to Bo- cure a squaw. After accomplishing this, being well satisfied with his bargain, lie pened negotiations for another, and was soon recognized as a man of family and of affairs, ne also enjoyed tho favors and perquisites that formerly fell to tho lot of Crazy Mule. As I saw him standing in front of tho agency store one evening, with his hat tilted to tho right angle, his cigar between his fingers, practicing spitting between his teeth, as became a politician of his stand ing, I thought of the old mediolne man out in his lonely villago, shorn of what power and privileges it was possible, for tho agent to tako from him, watching over and guarding alike his little corn patch and tho sick children of his fol lowers, to whom, in spito of defeat, he was a chieftain still. And then I smiled as 1 remembered the words: "May be bo, pretty soon, long tlmo como, things even up." The yenrs rolled by, and in tho course of events another election was held. The party who had been in power so long in Washington city stepped down nnd out, nnd the friends of reform took up the reins of government. Tlio old chiefs assumed their places. while tho pets of the agents wero sent to the rear. As I rode along I wondered what changes I would And atthe village, which I was approaching. If I expected any I was disappointed. Tlio same curs, ap parently, barked aud snapped at my horse's heels; the squaws seemed busy with tho same tasks, and under hlsarlior the old medicine man sat smoking his pipe with the air of a proprietor and one who had earned his rest, and further more had the advantage of knowing it. With a wavo of the hand that included greeting and an Invitation to a seat, ho bade me welcome and fell to nsklng me the whereabouts of tho other boys, who iu days gone by had "smoked tho old sisters out of these thlcketa and sand hills. I answered as bost I could, for they were scattered from the Itio Grande to the British possessions. I in turn be gan to tjiink of some ot those who hnd played a prominent-part in those davs, and waa about to put tho question as to their fate, when the sight of a buck bend ing low under a load of wood attracted my attention. Something about him ap peared familiar, and as ho approached I could scarcely believe my eyes, for in the laborer I recognized the ex-politician Two Bellies. Old Crazy Mule, seeing my look of wonder, gave a grunt and a chuckle and relapsed Into silence. Instead of the major general's coat and spring bottom pants and high hat, in which I had last seen Two Bellies, he now appeared with an old blanket over his shoulders, his lower limbs Incased in a pair of blue overalls, and as ho threw down his load and turned to get another, I saw the seat of these had been removed lu deference to the tribal custom, and then I knew his fnll wascomnlete: thatauotheriback- sllder was abroad, and that civilization had lost another convert. Ashe disap peared in tho timber, I could but think again of his own prophetio words: "May bo bo. pretty soon, long time ooine, Ihlntrt even up. "---Ned H. in Atlanta Constitution. A New Invention.

Mr, Babcock went Into a restaurant on Third street and deposited his umbrella in the rack and hunit his black Derby hat on a nickel plated hat hook. When the disoiplo of Dlaokstoiie had finished his repust ho walked over to the wall and I took what he supposed waa his hat, put it on and started toward llin counter to pay for his breakfast. An athletic looking gentleman, who was eating his morning repast and watoh ing his portable property, roared out: "Come hack hero, sir, nnd leave ray hat." All tho ladies and gentlemen in the restaurant watched Mr, Babcock as he replaced the hut ami took his own. The young lawyer was as mad on a hor net and somewhat confused nt the con tretemps. Then ho walked over to the umbrella rack and picked up nn um brella. The observant gentleman whose hat Mr. Babcock had taken noticed that it was his umbrella that was being carried off, nnd ho shouted in stentorian tones: "Drop Hint umbrella or I'll hand yon over to tho police." Mr. Babcock saw that ho had mado a second mistake, and soon fished his own rain shediler from among tho many others that were In tho rack. Then ho loft the restaurant, and he was called back by the cashier, who came to the door and excitedly said: Iladn t you better come back and pay for your breakfast? You will at least avoid being handed over to the police."

Everybody has heard of tho savin: that it takes nine tailors to make n man, and the general supposition is that it re flects upon tailors in some indefinite maiv ner, and no one knows where tho saying originated. Now. tho truth Is that the saying Is misquoted, and the proper word Is tailers, or tellers, not tailors, as often written, and Its origin can Ivo traced baok several renturies. It was one of the customs when n per son died In tho parish to toll the churoh bell once for every year of the deceased's life.
