"Paul, oil, Paul, come hero; ilot" called
ont Mrs. Grc-jlock from the cabin door,
as she held lit her linnd n letter we had
just brought In from the storo where the
postofflce wa9.
All right, old woman, lit n-comin
right alonf," came In tho deep tones of
her lmsband'a voice, as the old man
Btrodo in from tho barn: "what'n the
row?"
It's a letter from Haldee, an ehe'B got
a boy, nn Jack wants it called after
you," said Mrs. Greylock, nit In n breath.
AVn-al, I call that handsome in Jack
FurnlK9, blest ef I don't. An Haideo's
got a baby why, sho! Old woman, yon
and I ts grandfathers. Hoop!" And the
old Ulan fairly jumped off the ground in
hl9 excitement.
After the letter hnd been read and re
read by the delighted couplo nnd com
mented on during sapper, Paul lold us
the story of his daughter's marriage ns
we sat around the liro in tho evening.
To think of Haideo's bavin a baby,"
began the old man; "why, it don't deem
but yesterday when she was a baby her
own self. You see, my old woman there
had given me six boys, ono nrter another,
an nice fellers they was, too, If I do say
it. They kept the cabin lively, I tell
you, with their tricks an games nn sich
but sometimes I used to think it 'ud be
kind of pleasant to have a girl 'round.
didn't say nothin of tho kind, but the
old woman knowed what I wero thiukin
about, an I guess that sho wero ns glad
ns I be when liaidee were bom.
The way sho cot her name wero kind
of curious, too, for, as fur as I know
none of the Greylocks nor tho old wom
an s folkses ever wero called no such
nnmo afore. 'Bout a month aforo she
was born, we were livin here In Texas
an tho country were pretty wild, nn a
stranger came along an askod to stop all
night. Wa'al, in course we took him
in, an tho old woman she gave him a
good supper. In the moniin ho went
away, but ho dropped outer his saddle
bags some leaves of a book. I dunno
what the book were, only It were writ
In poetry an it told how bouio Greaser
(Mexioan) called Don Juan were wrecked
on an island, an now lie come across
some girl named Haidee, nu a monstrous
likely girl she must have bin from the
story. 'Uordln ns the book were writ,
she were the prettiest girl you ever see.
an my old woman's mind just got sot on
that girl, so when lialileo were born
nothin would suit her but namin the
child for tha girl in tho book.
We didn t have but two or three
leaves, an we didn't know nothin 'bout
the young woman afterwards, only jest
how sho looked. I ulun t havo no 'jeC'
tlon to tho name, nn so our baby wore
called Hnideo, an wero baptized by u
Methody circuit ruler named llawson,
I don't romemlier no great much 'bout
him 'cent ho wero a terrible man to cat.
an be rode the poorest critter t ever see,
Wa'al, Haideo growed up healthy nn
strong, nn sho wero jufet tho life of the
house. Sho wero ns pretty wa'al, she
were ns pretty as she could lie; no girl

was sharper than me, but sho never let

Jack Furniss by name, who used tc
come 'bout three times u week. He
wero n fine, manly sort of a chap, n good
frontiersman, a good ligliter, tno lie

I liked hiin so much that I always asked
him to como again when he'd get up tc

an he was everlastinly bringin wild tur
keys or venison or bar meat to the ol

"I used to wonder bomctimes what on
earth he done it for. but then I didn
have as much sense as a moccasin snake
in them days. One day Jack an mo were
standin out by tho corral an ho seemed
nervous like, nn I asked him wluit were
the matter, when he up an told tne he
wanted to marry Haldec. Boys, I'd
ruther a darn sight he'd knock me dow

in my life. He went on with a long
string 'bout how he loved her nu how
he'd work for her an dunno what else;
but I didn't hear him I were thinkin ol
Haldee. Last 1 broke out, 'You must lie
a fool' an I guess I BWore some 'to
think of marrying that child.' 'Child?
says hej 'she's seventeen.'
"Waal, I couldn t say sue wereu t,
you know, an that made me madder
than ever. 'Do you s'l Jack Fumias,'
says I, -that I'm n-goin to let my littlo

an he said as how he knowed ho weren't
good enough fur her, an all that, but
that he loved her luore'n he did his life,
an he hoped I'd let him have her. Ills

stepped up to him an swore I'd sboov
him, like a redskin if ever I see him

I went into the cabin, an tlutr was

knowed Ilnidee wouldn't see him 'less I

unhappy I were. I got into two fights

A MoniitriMiM Turtle.
A meat many years ago, when our
grandfathers were very young, and bo
fore the Hood, there used to bo n strango
looking animal called the glyptodon.
He was called a glyptodon because he
had fluted teeth, and pcihaps because
the people who named mm hadu t heard
of tarts. Wo should doubtless have
called him n tartodon, because his back.
in tho pictures we havo of him, really
resembles n tart more than anything
else, though it weighed somowhat more
than most tarts do before thoynro eaten,
Tlie clyiuodon also had four feet, nnd
could always tell Jiis hind legs from his
front ones by the singular fact that his
hind feet had five toes each, whilo tho
front feet had to get along on four.
This animal does not eilst at tho pres
ent time, nnd it ts just nswell that ho
doesn t, because ho could Ik) very dis-
agreeablo If ho wanted to, as you can
very well imagine when you remember
that ha wlj" really nothing more than
turtle, and lie was quite as large as nn
ordinary elephant in his stocking fect.

with just a tonfli of Immnr, asked:

"Well, you know l'velieen pnjlnghor

"Aud before committing yourself yon

"Yon state it bluntly, mint, lint I sup
pose that is about the truth.'
Then, Cecil, I cntmnt invo you my
opinion."
Cecil withdrew. As limy Ije Inferred
ho was nn indecisive fellow, and of
course was not now satisfied. Praise of
Bessie from Auut Mildred would have
decided him. But he wns left exactly
as before, oxcept that he could draw the
opposite inferences. First, that if his
aunt had not favoied bis suit she would
have advised against it; second, that her
refnsal to givo an opinion meant lhat she
opposed it.
audi men us ho adopt tests, wit lie
had not ingenuity to invent one. The
secret of such doubt is usually k-H es
teem, which conjures an ideal worthy
of affection. Oddly enough Iho lumi
nous point in Cecil's ideal was fidelity.
Bossies social position was level with
his, but would sho be true? Wasn't she
a coquette?
Tom I'lottuu wns a down city commis
sion merchant one of those men who
forgo ahead on tho voynno of life, and by
tho twin pi opollerfl, energy nnd deter

only been casual, confined to chanco
meetiiigs-U social gatherings. An out
spoken man, but withal n thorough gal
lant, acquainted with all tho marriage
able ladies worth knowing, ho was just
the man tn render tho opinion Cecil
craved.
Ho was found in his glass inclosed
office, millerishly white from flour ho
had been examining beforo buying.
"Tom," began Cecil, aftor greetings.

Tho next Tuesday evening found
Cecil in Beseio's fashionable home. He
had exactly poised his mind, but the
first sight of her unbalanced it m her
favor. She was rarely beautiful, nnd
her welcome rang with genuine hos
pitality. It seemed impossible to criti
cise her; a good, true heart must be
tho center of such physical loveli
ness, but doubt whimpered, "Wait and
watch."
Of guests, there were seven ladies aud
eight gentlemen, uewio had, tneieiore,
to choose her first partner, and Cecil
watched eagerly to tee which this wonld
be. It was Alfred Donaldson Hughes,
who had lately won literary fame, Bessie
smiled brilliantly upon him as they took
seats at tho ace table.
She's flirting with that fellow, mut
tered Cecil, ns the bell rang for play.
When it rang again for changing
tables he was obliged to remain nt the
jack table, because iu watching he had
blundered stupidly, liessie and the au
thor won tlie game, aud though they
were not partners in the next the merri
ment between them continued, nnd he
saw her dart a perfect coquette's smile
at him as at the next he went down to
the king.
Tom Plotton was her' next partntr,
but her sparkle was gone. She scarcely
spoke.
Humph, muttered Lecll, --quite a
descent from literature to flour. Plotton

Yet, demote hlll . doubts would
treak into the advti . islon. "Per-
'laps she is true, after all; her spirits may
be her way of entertainment. I may lie
xtakintr a fearful mistake.
Finally good luck advanced 1dm and
he became her paituer for u game. She
was all life again; exactly as she lutd
been to the author. He believed he de
tected her wish to draw him on to lov
ing her. and, though flattered, the old
doubt grew stronger. The duties of
hostess did not necessitate such action
she had tried to draw the author on; alio
was trying him now. The only result
would be that she would reject them
both in ridicule.
Music and promenading through the
spacious house followed cards. Cecil
hastened to engage Bessie as a com
panion. The author forestalled him.
He walked angrily into the conservatory
and stopped before a palm, oderuibly
xamlniuK it, but in reality analysing
his state of mind. Was lie jealous? If
so, he really loved Bessie, but could be

Bessie and Hughes came near aud
stopped before a large plant, but with
their backs toward Cecil, who was well
screened from them.

"Oh! Mr, Htighcs, my humble talents

"I don't menu In that way; though
your talent would. I moan would you
not like to llvo always in a literary at

the wife of an author."
"Pardon lne, Mr, Hughes," she ex
claimed, "but Ido liellcvothisrnro plant
is dying. I must tell father at once."
"Don't turn me aside," pleaded tho
author, trying to catch her hand. "I
lovo you to"
"Hush, hush, Mr. Hughes," sho whis
pered, "Hero comes somo one."
The some one was Tom Plotton, and
ho Was coming direct for them,
"Mr, Hughes," ho said, "they nro nsk
Ing for you in the parlor. They'ro dis
cussing the authorship ot n late anony
mous poem. They want you tn help
mom out."
"Very well," replied Hughes gallant
ly, "nnd I think I can niako a good de
cision on tho latest nnd dlrf ctest information."
"Don't you dare," exclaimed Bessie,
with a light laugh, tho meaning of
which camo in words as soon ns tho au
thor was out of hearing,
Oh! I'm so glad you came, for, don't
yon think, ho was just declaring his lovo
for mo."
Both broke Into a hearty laugh. Con
viction struck Cecil. If this wasn't nn
evidence of heartless coquetry what
could be? Ho sincerely thanked his
good fortune that his doubts had kept
him from declaring his own lovo sev
eral months before in a similar placo.
'And 1 have no doubt,' bo beard
Plotton say, "that if I wero now to
say that I love yon you'd thank somo
ono for interrupting, nnd laugh ns
heartily over my silliness, wouldn't
you?"
Pel haps 1 should.
Though you have given me some en
couragement, Bessie."
"Havo I? Come, I want to tell father
this plant Is dying."
They moved away and Cecil returned
to tho parlor, thrilling with pleasure at
his narrow escape. Ho rejoiced greatly
that Bessie Fallingtou had never had n
chanco to laugh at him. Ho shortly
withdrew elated, but iu the night doubt
of his decision troubled him. The heart
and head wonld not agree. The stron
cr became tho latter, tho fuller was the
former of regret that ho could not havo
Besslo Fallington.
Next morning ho hastened to Plottou's
establishment nnd found that gentleman
in his glass office looking quite happy.
Happy commission stroke?" nskrd
Cecil.
"Yes, an unusual oue. Well, I sup
pose you havo come to compare notes
about Ueeslo Fallington.
"Yes."
"Well, what's your decision?"
"That she is' a heartless flirt, aud I

Every ono in New York who eats salad
thinks that there are a few people in
town who cnu make a fairly good salad
dressing, but that nono of them can come
up to tho dressing made by him (the
thinker).
"I tell you, sir," said Hoggs, the gour
maud, as he deluges the lottuce with
grease, "that fellow Snoggs thinks he
knows how to do this, bnt he doesn't
havo any more idea of It than a cow.
Think of it, ho puts in more vinegar than
oil!"
At the samo moment Snoggs is mixing
a dressing in another part of town and
snickering to himself as ho remarka: "I
was very much amusod tho other night
at tho way Boggs did this, ne actually
mado a drosslng without vinegar! Hal

Thon there Is Juggins, of West Thirty
fourth street, who also has hla peculiar
viows. "Any man," ho declares, "who
puts mustard in a salad shows his igno
rance." Muggins, of East Sixty-sovcnth street,
also has decided convictions. "What do
on think." ho roars out: "I saw Juggins
putting mustard in a salad dressing."
Then somo put m sugar, utners imns
this nn awful absurdity. A few use a

would rather bo lynched than follow
their example.

The "Cold Snake."
A Mexican superstition, very common
among miners in that country, relates
to the "gold snake." This species of
serpent is perfectly harmless and very
handsome, being green in color and
with a golden Iridescence in its scales.

gold snake makes its nest there is a
ledge containing the precious metal, and
there are many miners who will locato
a claim at once if they find a gold snake.
