EVEN UP TO DATE. "I cnu't help how much ycr love me, Van; I can't marry ycr, nnd you'd jnst ns well look nt matte in n rensonablo way." "But why, JInndyf There ain't no other feller yer thinkin' more ot than yer nir of mo, is there?" "I in tnlkin fair and Bnnar' to ycr, Van Jonee. I've ahvaya liked yer as a fricud, but if yer want to keep friendly with mo yer'll havo to stop this talk tight here. I've told, ycr that I didn't love yer, and, moro'n that, I never coulj, an as to lovin or thinkin tnoro of some body else that'a eoniethin 1 don't think consams yo in the least." Oh, come now, Aland', don t put me off in this here way. It yer a friend to mo it won't take ycr long to lovo mo. rvo been mighty nigh crazy fer yo fer tho last threo year. I've got so I can't work fer thinkin of yer in the day ner sleep fer thinkin of yer in tho night. There's lots o' other girls in Clilncapin Holler, but yer tnKos the slilno out ot all of 'cm They're no more liko yer than a dishrag's liko ii silk hamlkcrcher. In my eye yer as far abovo 'cm as Pilot knobs uliove Cowsuin Flat. Id givo my mansion in the New Jerusalem fer jest ono kiss o' them purty Iittlo red lips o' yer's." So saying, Van tried to draw JIandy toward himself, hut Handy with Hashing oyes arose' to her feet, and as she did so gave him n smart slap in tho faco and said: "Van Jones, yer a fooll l'o tako yer self right oft from here or I'll call pa. I've been n-tryiu to reason with ycr as a menu, hut i see yer nm t cot no sense. Thar's the door, nnd don't ycr never como back hero again. "But, JIandy" "Don't Mandy tne pal" Van did not stop to meet "pa," but took up his li.it and, with a scowl oh his face and an oath in his heart, left tho house. IIo was an ill vlsnged fellow. Ills features woro tho unmistakable marks of cruelty, cunning and sensual ity, Ills faco was dark naturally, hut it was colored a deeper dyo by tlio smoke ot his forge, for van was the black smith of Clilncapin Hollow. Ills burly btacK neau was set upon a thick neck and tnus fastened to a herculean trunk. He had all the characteristics of a cruel and ferocious being. He wended his way slowly up tho Iiollow, muttering curses as he went. "I know who she's stuck oni its that darn Sam Gray, but by thunder I'll get even with 'cm," he hissed between his teeth. "She wouldn t own to to it, but 1'vo had my eyo on him, confound him. It was a lovely Sunday evening in the month of September, in that part of Ar kansas called the Boston mountains. Tho sides of tho mountains were covered with luxuriant chincapins, scrubby oaks anil trailing, Heavy laden tnuscadinos, The scenery in Chincapin Hollow was delightful to ono in a framo of mind to enjoy it, but Van Jones saw nono of its beauties, iu fact it is doubtful if ho over was conscious of them. If ho took any further notice of them at all it was as rock, water and brush, lie soon reached his shop, which stood somo distance np tho hollow, It was an old log building, whoso cavlug roof bore a striking resemblance to a Bway back horse. The tottering chimney vis ible above the gable had the rakish air of a battered silk tile on a drunken sailor. The door, hung on n single hinge, nnd being partly open, exposed tho interior ot tne building to view, The tools were lying promiscuously around, nnd it was evident that Van was not a neat shopkeeper. He entered tho building, still bitterly enrsing Ids luck and swearing vengeance against his rival. "I'll get even with him if it takes fifty years," he snarled. "He shan't marry Mandy Piggln because he's got a good farm and a horse or two more'n I've got, I'll get even with him if I'vo got to burn his barn or pizen his well I'll let htm know that tne man he s buokin agin in this business ain't no slouch,' and a diabolical scowl settled over Ids features as he ceased muttering and drew trow his pocket a large clasp Knife, wincn he proceeded to sharpen upon a grindstone. Whilo Van was thus ocoupied the sun was slowly sinking Long shadows fell across the Hollow. Uradually the dis tant mountain tops were wrapped i" roseate mists, and over the valleys Moat ed purple vapors. The shadows beiri: to deepen in the Hollow, and finally the last ray ot light vanishes from the moun tain's peak. First one bright star and then another rises In tbe east, peering clown into tne shadows below. Slowly the heavens become decked with the myriads of bright scintillating gems of night. It is a calm, delightful night in early inituum; the thus mountain sir, like on ethereal elUIr, exhilarates and cheers both man and beast. In the starlit night a man on borve- back la seen slowly riding toward Jef ferson Ilggin's house. lie seems to be in no hurry, for he allows tbe splendid mare he is riding to choose her own gait. He rides up to the front ot the picket fence surrounding the hoUM, throws tUe bridle over out ot the i tickets, and knocking gAlly at tbe door is met by the blushing Mandy und bashfully Invited lu. "Howdy do, Miss Mandy? llow air ye this eveatnT "Party well, 1 thank ye, Mr. Uray Uaw air ye aud how air yer folk" "I'm putty wall, I thank ye, and the folks fir about as common, liesu enjy Isk yttwlf. today, Mia MatalyT "No. I luven't, Mr. Gray.

" v hy, .Miss Mainly, did you nnd him hev any troublef A Iittlo, not much." Would yo mind tcllln mo what it was nbont, Miss Mandy'i" and Sam bash- tuny ultcued his chair a Tow inches nearer tho blushing Mandy.

"Of course, Mandy, if it's secret 1 don't want to hear it; it's nono of my bizness nohow, I reckon, Is it, Mandy?' and Sam's arm began a cautions jour ney around Miss M.iudy's apron strings. Mandy (unconsciously, no doubt) help ed Sam's arm along n Iittlo by leaning toward him, as sho answered: "Well, Sam, I guess you won't tell anybody If I tell you. Van Jones's ben tryin his best to get mo to have him, and I jest p'intedly told him ho couldn't. Ho then wanted to know if 1 thought more of soino one clso, nnd I told him it didn't consuvn him.

Mandy beamed encouragingly on him and smiling one of her sweetest smiles, said: "What wus ycr coin tcr say, Sam? Yer ueedn't ter bo a bit uneasy, Sam, for I won't say a word about it tor any body, if it's n secret." "Well, as 1 wus a-sayin, Mandy, it yer don't like any other feller better than yer do mo would er er yer mind o' havin me?" and Sam broko down com pletely. Mandy turned as red as a hollyhock, and it seemed to Sam that the weight of her shoulder increased as it rested heavi ly against him. Whether ho feared that ho could not thus support her weight or that sho would fall, he sud denly clasped her in his arms. She threw her arms around his neck and sweetly whisiiered in his oar, "I lnv ycr, Sam, and I'll havo yer." A pair of wicked eyes gleamed through tho slnglo, uncurtained window at tlio picture.

"Thero now," ho growled to liimself. Sam Gray, I know that'll almost kill yer when yo seo it. I wish to God it would," nml tho brute slunk off In the darkness to his don. When Sum Gray on tho following moniing discovered tho disfigurement of his best horse by tho loss of both her ears ho was tho uinddcet man in "seven states." Yet ho held his touguo. Sam was not n man to mako threats. Ho was a reticent fellow aud kept his troubles to himself. But ho was mad, and in Ids heart ho swore to be rovenged on tho one who had perpetrated the outrage The first penn whom he suspected was Van Jones. He knew his rival's dastardly uaturo full well. Ho took out his claspknifo and care fully oxatniued its odge. It seemed to be satisfactory. Without saying a word to any ono lie leisurely walked into Van's shop. The Utter was pumping away at Ins liellows. "Van," he began, "ye've cut oft my mare's ears, and I'vo come hero to settle with yer." "I didu't do anything of the kind, Sam Uray, ud yer know it, snarled Van. "I didn't come ter nrgy With yer, Van.

With the idtol still leveled at Van's head, Bam drew his kuife from his pocket, oiieuetl it with hUt teeth, and with two rapid strokes the man's ears lay upon the ground.

A gentleman from Kansns tells a rather Interwtlng story of h sensation to which lis nnd his fellow passengers wero treated u short distance Irom Vlcksburg. Tho train was flagged at Cleveland, a small station in n comparatively unin habited section, at which passenger trains nre not scheduled to stop. The ttntioii oflloinls boarded tho train with n badly frightened negro, who informed Conductor Clark that ns ho was walking along the track about two miles below the edition he had seen six masked men working at the track with n crowbar, evidently bent on displacing tho rails and diti-ulng tho train. They had their ponies tied to trees near tho track and every saddle hail u Winchester rille slung acroe:i it. The darky did not care to disturb them, but ns he was trying to steal n way unobserved one of the would be trainwreckers called out to him, com manding him to halt. Tills was just what the negro did not wish to do, nnd plnngiug into the thicket he scrambled through the thick underbrush nnd over fallen logs as rapidly us his legs would carry him. Ho had jnst reached Cleveland In timo to warn tho station agent to ilag tho dowm oxpretw. This was startling news, and Con ductor Chirk at onco luado preparations to guard his train against attack. Every light, oven to tlio headlight of the loco motive, was extinguished and Winches ter rifles wero placed in tho hands of tho train ollU'lal, while tho negro porter was armed with revolver and placed in tho baggage car-to guard its con tents. Before tho lights could bo extinguished lu tho passenger coaches it was neces sary to Inform tho pnss-ongcrs of the reason why such an extraordinary pre caution had K'cn rendered necessary, nnd then it was that somo curious scenes wero enacted. Somo put their money in their boots; others, pulling off their coats, stowed away small rolln of bills iu their shirt sleeves. Others appeared to think that the lining of a man's hat made a snug little pocket in which to stow away small snnis of paper money. Uut tlio illsiiosal ot their vuluablcs did not nppeur to tho passengers ii matter of such vital importance as the defense of tho train and tho lives of thoso upon it. Money, jewelry and watches woro quick ly hidden away, but when it came to lishing their pistols out of valises, "grip sacks" and hip iwckcts tho business of hiding away valuables was "not in it." 'Iho Kansas man who told tho story said that iu his day ho had seen a great deal of rough lifo on tho frontier, but he had never seen anything approachinc such n show of firearms as was sudden ly displayed on that passenger train in peaceful and prosperous Mississippi. All the money, he said, on tho train would not servo to make tho first pay ment on that grim array of firearms, even on tho weekly installment plan. One man had no weapon, but ho was promptly supplied by a Mississippian who had threo ll-caliber Colts In his va lise, The stranger accepted the loan rather timidly and walked to the door of tho car with it in his hand. Ho put his head out into tho darkness and tho first object that met his eyes wero three solemn looking men with Winchesters. It was dark aud ho took them for rob bers. Fortunstely he did not open fire. and running livk to tho middlo of the car tried to crawl under a scat. In tho meantime, all being ready, tho darkened train ran slowly down tho track to within HW yards of the spot in dicated by tho negro and stopped. No robbers appeared and then lanterns wero lighted and a party of armed men went ahead to bcurch for them, but they had made their encaiK). Tho advance guard found tho hoof prints ot their horses in tho thicket whero tho negro had seen them tied to tho sappliugs, -and tho truck, though left in good order, gave evidence of having been tampeied with. Something had evidently disturbed tho wreckers possibly tho escnpo of tho negro, whom they knew to have seen them but at all events tho train reached Vickeburg in safety. New Or leans Times-Democrat.

The dllTereiit nations of tho world. both ancient and modern, have employed various symbols to represent the hres mat uasu irom the thundercloud.

Tlio bas-reliefs of Nimrnd and tlalthia, tho work of later and more refined Assyrian artists, show tho (rident doubled or transformed into a trifid fascicle. This triumph of the classic art secured for tho ancient Meeopotamian symbol tho ndvantago over all other representations of Iho thunderbolt.

"James Whitroinh Riley never will forget his first ri-rii'nco as a platform lecturer," remarked an old Hoosier at the Grand l'acillc the other day. "It was a good many years ago. Jimmy was eking out an existence as a lmluter at that time, and when tiuies were dull and he was out of a job he spent his leisure mo ments In stringing together verses. Some nf thoso were so good, in his own esti mation nt least, that he sometimes re cited them nt little gatherings about the neighborhood, "But, unknown even lo his friends, Iho embryo poet had rather lofty aspira tions and burned to launch out as a pub lio entertainer. So ho began quietly casting for mi eligible opportunity to 'try it on the dog.' "Ho was poor then poor Is no nam for it. Iu fact, he was generally In debt, and though ho worked hard never Rocuied to havo any money or a fair pros pect of getting any. It will readily be seen that it was not an cosy matter for Riley to realize Ids hopes under Buch circumstances. At last, however; he raised n Iittlo money on n job of paint ing and with it Invaded n neighboring hamlet, where his fame had not preceded him. After considerable red tape he se cured tho privllcgo of using the school house for his entertainment. In fact, the school honno was the only available placo in tho villngo for such a gathering. Then ho hung up n lot of posters an nouncing that James Whltcomb Riley, tho Hoosier oct, would give one of his unlquo and inimitable entertainments at tho namtown school house on the fol lowing Saturday night. These posters wero blank paper, decorated with char coal instead of printers' ink, and Riley spent ono whole day iu printing them. 'At tho last moment, however, a per fect deluge of cold water was thrown over tho young poet's aspirations by an unexpected announcement from the Hnmtown school board. On the after noon of tho eventful day the president of tho Ixiurd waited on Riley, who was nervously pacing his room at the little excuse for n hotel, and informed him that by an agreement entered into when tho school building was erected no en tertainments wero to bo given In it un less they were of n public character. 'Hut mine Is to be it publio enter. tainmcnt, insisted Mr. Riley. , "Oh, no, it Ian t,' asserted the town dignitary. 'You aro going to cliarge an admission fee. That doet-n't look like a public affair does it? " lt isn t a frco entertainment, to be sure; but It is certainly to lie public,' maintained tho poet. 1 Tiot as wo understand the term said tho official, 'In short, the only way you can go on with the show is to tlirow the doors open.' Hero was a pretty stato of affairs. but tho question mustlw settled at once, and Riley promptly accepted the horn of tho dilemma nearest him, and sold that tho entertainment should bo given ut all hazards und that no ndmissiou fee would lie charged."
