"No, AVIllinm for tho lust time, I
won't. So there!"
A sudden pnllor overspread tlio SM nr
thy face, mid a.danfierous gleam shot
from tho small blnck eyes ns he ri.dily
Eoizod tho tender round arm of tlio un
suspicious girl, nnd hissed in n voice i-ho
had never heard before:
"By the Eternal, you shall! You shall,
or I'll murder you!"
With 11 sliriolc the terriflod girl Bpnmg
past him nnd fled into the cosy sitting
room Avhero tho other members of the
family pursued their homely nvoosti ns
before a w IJe, old fashioned wood fire.
"Oh, uuiitlel"she exclaimed, "I do be

All wore etmtled at the sudden nnd
violent iiiteiruptiou, but not evon tho

"Clazy ! What do you menu, Floionco?
Get up from ray side, and do loavij oft

Buch a tone from her usually hind pro
tectress the Rill slowly arose, and in
tears left the room.
"Mother, you were very harsh," re
monstrated Murgmot, tho eldest daugh
ter of. tho house.
"I wonder what William could havo
said to her, " spitof ully added Eliza, tho
younger sister;, "1l'b always Williainllt.
"Tut, tin!" paid tho father, ro.nu'11'inc
Iih paper. "Tlio boy is too rough. He's
put hor out somehow, Wife, you're no
call to bo vexed, "
"Perhaps I was harsh, "said tho old
lady, "but you dou't knoiv how that
word 'crazy' horrilies mo. My only
brother went crazy and took lib own
life. Wo uovcr got over tlio shock. AVill-
iam sometimes has a look of him, and
I run in continual fear. He's always
been strange. I'm sorry I hurt tho poor
child's feelings. "
Oil! her feelings mo too easily hurt,
said Uliza. '
"I shouldn't wonder if Lynn Graves
could comfort her, said Mnrgniet,
meaningly, and tho deep flush of an-
noyanco 011 Eliza's faco indicated tho
oauso of her ovidont spleen toward her
fathers orphan nioce.
Bo ho!" said tho old gontloman,
ogam diverted from the daily news.
"The wind s in that quarter, Is it? I
thought William was sweet on her. "
"Non?ense, Daniel!" said Mr. Bed
ford. "Well now, wife, I don't know about
that, and I, for one, shouldn't care if ho
was. The lass is comely nnd well man
nered, and besides, she will havo aright
snug little fortuuo of her own. Our
boy couldn't bo doing bettor."
"Woll, well, we've no call to ineddlo,
Daniol, " cautiously replied the old lady;
"and tlio Lord is suro to lako enro of his

Before rouiinir for tlio night kind

the closet of the poaoeful farmhouse.
"uon c crow mm, cioar, it you run

The siunmer passed, and William Bod-
ford had ceased to persecute ills cousin
Buve by a jaalons watchfulness which
gavo her constant dread. The wiuin
days had been spent by the young
people of- the adjacent village and
vicinity in pleasure parties to the
woods and numerous exomsions to tlio
blackberry thicket which gave the trains
of Brtarlislil to Uncle Bedford neigh

Flossie Denton was over the leading

Lynn Graves did not care to conceal
his nllegiauoa, but Flossie could not tell
him of her couiio's stormy wooing otid
terrible threats. The only shadow her
young life had known sines the hour
whioh made hor an orphan was the ever
dnikening presence of this morose nud
unhappy man. To the world lie n as 11

Before the hour of midnight had

smlie, he abruptly arose nnd bado l.or

In wondering rear the gill halted,
then came linolc rolucLnitly to where he
stood.
I hnve found you out, " he said in n

Oh, William, doii t talk so don t

The girl w ns benumbed with fear. If

she hade iho man good night and noise

she owed her life. Her missio'n was
speedily accomplished. Her lover took

Long ere merciful friends Mould arouse
her, tne neighborhood was ringing with
nows of a tragedy suoh ns wna never be-
foro recorded in the annals of tho "dark
nud bloody Ki'ound. " In the dark hours
of night William Bedford had killed
father, mother, sister, nnd then shot
himself. Of tho whole, family not one

Tho Bedford hoirestend is deserted,
aud the uoighbors say it is haunted.
Flossie never knew tho ghastly details
ot the tragedy which left her sole heir
to the property. Lynn Gr.nen mairlod
hot- almost immediately, she wns eo des
olate and unprotected, nnd took her
nnd the dog to Kansas City, where amid
now scenes she triod to forget tho past
Xndlnn X.geiul of the Moon.
Here is a peculiar legend of tlio In
dians, as told hy tho Rev. Mr. Cook, tho
full blooded Sioux, who is the minis
terial representative of the Episcopalian
denomination nt line lUdge Agenoy,
snys the O.uaha Die. Tho legend, which
was related to the Indian children at the
agency, wns of their forefathers' I ellef
as to the oanse of tho disnppenrunoe of
the moon. He said the belief was that
overy time a new moon appeared it waa
n signal for all the mice in the country
to gather themselves together in one
spot. When tliey assembled they son
orated in four gnat armies. One army
went to the north, another to the south.
a third to the east, and a fourth 10 the
west. These armies of mice traveled
until they reached the point where, Ii oiu
the place of starling, the heat ens seemed
to touch the earth. Then they climbed
up the sky until they came to the moon,
which by this time was what m e call
full. All of the four armies then com
menoed nibbling at Luna, nnd when
u ley tiad eaten her ail up the mice
would scamper back down Uie heavens
to tlie earth aud wait for her to show
herself again, when the journey and
nibbling would be repeated by the mice.
And this is what the Indians -of early
days believed was the oauso of tho moon
growing old and Anally disapiearing.

MICKEY FINK'S "DARBY."
Tom Connor was the blacksmith over
Hie hill. Mickey Finn was in the habit
of running on errands for Tom, and so,
when rrnwdetice tent a litter of pigj
inlo To. 1, 'a sty, ho picked out the siunll-
eel, ino,t inoasly looking pis in tlio Ut
ter, and guvo it lo Mlckoy.
Of course the hoy wns delighted, hud
run homo with tho squealing little porker
under his iirm.
Now, it tlioro was anything of which

and nf tor looking at Mickey's acquisition
with the eyo of n coniioia?our, sho do-

Mickey picked up tlio pig loudorly in
his aruiB nud wont away over the hill.
His heart wns heavy; but lorn Connor
cheered him up.
"Mickey," said he, you on' I'll make a
pen fer tho porker foronhist th' forge,
nn' you can gather n little gr.vs nnd
stuff fer him. M.'bl e he'll get fat. Thin

call the poiker D.irhy. "
The 111 wns built and Darby was duly
Installed (herein,- Under the fostering
onit) of (he blacksmith nud littlo Miko
the porker grew iu size and plumpness,
nud endeared himself to Mickoy by his
mnuy winning ways. Tho pig became
broad of back and strong of limb.
Darby' ears began to drop upon his
neck, and ho was very foud of being
scratchod betweon thorn with a pleco of
old iron. And s tho days fled quickly
by, fi lod with the jjy of content.
But Idle the M.iy days wore slipping
awny Into tho eternities Mrs. Finn had
not been idle. Her boy's extravagant
praises of Darby had awakened her
cupidity nno.v. Often whilo Mickey
was nt sohoal Mrs, Finn took sly trips
over (ho meadows to tho sty. On each
of these occasions she always took with
her some choice morsels which. wcro
calculated to increase Darby's girth, nnd
to make his jowls drop with fatness.
Alas) however, Mrs. Finn entertained
none of those flue sentlmeuU of unselfish
lovo for Darby whloh animated her sou,
She could see no poetry iu tho corkscrew
curl of Darby's tall as ho gruuted
with pleasure while guawing last
year's oabhage stump. Her finer
sensibilitiea had lieen roughened hy
the sandpaper of misfortune. Each
pound Darby gained moant not added
graoe and proportion lo her, but rathor
suggested the salty pork barrel and the
siizllug frying pan.
During nil this lime Mickey's old giny
bearded billy goat was suffering the
torments ot unrequited affection. Day
hy day the billy saw Mickey go by him
on his way to tho pig pea But once in
three long weeks did little Mike stop
and gambol with tho goat as he had
beeifwout to do in the sweet old days
before (he coming of (he haled Darby,
The. goat seemed to be aware (hat tho
affectious of his master were waning
away from him, "like (he twilight of an
autumn day. "
Only a little sunlit hollow in Stumpy
Field separated' Darby and the goat.
One morning, while yet the grass waa
bending beneath dlnmonds of dew, the
goat came out of his barrel aud stretched

at the uiisls fleeing up the rugged sides
of Snake Hill. He saw the faint Hush

Then began an awful struggle. Urged
by tho hilly, Darby was forced out Into
tlie field nnd bowled over nnd over down
(ho hill, alio billy attended ntrlclly to
busines-i. No sooner did Darby get 011
his foot than ho mob called on iu a most
forcible manner to lie down. When
Darby had ouco more got his trembling
logs under him ho made ono supreme ef
fort and ran up the hillside. His ascent
was materially assisted by tho goat. But
Darby, was going toward thelhue quarry I
Iu Iiendloug, bluudering uiglit Darby
rushed madly on. Tho bushes fringing
tho brink of tho precipice wcro parted
by the maddening rush of 33 pounds of
nnliuntod pork. A faint squeal rent the
air of (ho beautiful May morning, there
wns a dull and sickening (hud 011 tlio

Lifeless but beautiful Darby lav.
Before Mickey missed Darby his tiiiolo
drovo up to tho door nud invited him to
make a short visit to Ponckhoeltlo. After
her son had gone nud tho breakfast
dishes wcro cleared away. Mm Finn
went lo tho sty to havonlook at tho pig.
Theio tho awful reality 'dawned upon
her the wrecked sly, (lie freed goat,
aud the missing pig. But when she
found Darby iu tlio quarry sho nindo 110
moan, Iu fact, sho smiled nud boru tho
body homo iu her strong arms.
Tho next morning Darby was tried by
fire and wns uot found wanting, for his
jacket assumed a ricli brown color nnd
tho savory smell that rose from the oven
was sufllciently appetizing to make the
tongue of a gourmet palpilato in his
mouth. Then Darby was put on a big
plato nud placed in (ho oieu. Thcro
were a number of guesls at dinner that
day, among whom wcro Mrs. Murphy,
Mi Cionfn, Miko Welsh's wife, Palsoy
Corrignn's last Nancy, and the one
legged accordion player "as tlnds 111'
railroad switch an' waves' th' rid flag
w hlu ll Hire's n cow on tho thrack. "
Just ns tho guests sat down at tho
tnblo Mickey returned, but his mother
gavo him a pinto in tho kitchen for cer
tain prudential reasons.
Darby wns indeed n beautiful sight,
ornamented with sprigs of celery 'and
with a brand now corn cob iu his
mouth. If ho wns lovely iu lifo, ho
cortainly prosentcd a very toolhsomo
appearance In death. Mickoy drummed
impatiently upon tho kitchen table with
his kuifo handle, because, bolng tho
younger, ho had to wait tiutil nil tho
rost wore served. But at last a big
pleco of tenderloin was placed before
him. To his shame, bo it said, ho actu
ally neglected tho polatoos on his plate,
and asked for a second piece of Darby
before he touched tho potatoes.
It is with dcop regret that the occur
renco is recorded, but Mickey's plato
waa lined a third time, aud in tins in
stAiico it was a choice cut from the pluu p
J ham of bis little protege. After ho had
Doon liiioa to ropiction, niter 1110 out
tons of his vest had boon vellovcd of
dangerous pressure, ho leaned back in
his chair with grease on his faco aud a
pcaco-wlth-all-thc-world look Injiis eyes.
Then his mother turned to him nud.snid;
"Mickoy, did yo like th dinner?"
"Yis, mother. "
"Won't yo hav' another lilllo bit nil
th' neck jist a trifle, dear?"
'.'No, mother, dear; I couldn't nlo it;
I'm full "
"Well, darllnt, yo won't bo ficckoned
if I tell yo somothin'?"
"No, mother, I will not. "
"Well, that .pleoe o' rib, nn' that bit
air th' hnui, ye'ro nfther 'nun' kem off
your Darby!
If a bombshell had fallen nt Mickey's
toot ho could not havo been more
startled. Ho loaned forward nud big
tears 11111 down his cheeks nnd mingled
with tho gravy in his plate. Then ho
laid his head down upon tlio table, aud
wept ns it his heart would break.
