I
V Kew year's
(These short serial utories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johrison & Bach
eller.and are printed InTheTrlbune by special arrangement, simultaneous with
their appearance la the leading daily journals of the large cities).
If Innocent curiosity and love of fun
had carried many to the New Year
handshaking three years before, a
more serious Interest, not unmixed with
curiosity still, swelled the party to
night. It was a mile out of town. The night
iwas stormy, the roads were heavy and
most of the wagons without cover, but
the festive spirit Is impervious to
weather the world over, and there were
Umbrellas In Simpklnsville, and over
coats and "tarpaulins."
Everybody went. Even curtain per
sons who hud not previously been able
to master their personal animosities
sufficiently to resolve to present them
selves for the midnight handshaking,
end had decided to nurse their griev
ances for another year, promptly de
ckled to bury their little hatchets, and
Join the party.
To storm a citadel of sorrow, whether
the issue should prove a victory for
besiegers or besieged, was no slight
lure to a people whose excitements
were few, and whose interests were
limited to the personal huppenings of
their small community.
It Is a crime in the provincial code
pocial to excuse oneself from a guest.
To deny a full and cordial reception
to all the town would be to ostracise
oneself forever, not only from its so
ciety but from all its sympathies.
The weak-hearted hostess rallied all
her falling energies for the emergency.
And there was no lack of friendliness
In her pale old face as she. greeted her
most unwelcome guests with extended
hands.
If her thin cheeks flushed faintly as
her neighbors' happy daughters passed
liefore her in game or dance, her so
licitous observers, nut suspecting the
pain at her heart, whispered: "Mis'
Meredith Is chlrpln' up a'ready. She
looks a heap better 'n when we come
Jn." So little did they understand.
If mirth and numbers be a test, the
old year party at the Merediths' was
assuredly a success.
Human emotions swing as pendulums
from tears to laughter. Those of the
puests tonight who had declared that
they knew they would burst out crying
ns soon ns they entered that house,
Were the ones who laughed the loudest.
"Spinning ' the plate," "dumb-crambo,"
"pillow," "how, when and where,"
such were the Innocent games that
composed the simple diversions of the
evening, varied by music by the village
string bands and oeasional songs from
the girls, nil to end with a "Virginia
break-down" just before 12 o'clock,
when the handshaking fun should
commence.
It seemed a very merry party and yet,
In speaking of it afterward, there were
many who declared that it was the
saddest evening they had ever spent in
their lives. Some even ailirming that
they had been "obliged to set up an'
gigglo the live-long time to keep from
cryin' i-very time they looked at Mis'
Mereuith."
Whether this were true, or only
seemed to be true In the light of sub
sequent events, lit would be hard to
say. Certain It was, however, that the
note that rose above the storm and
floated out the lighted windows was a
".ote of Joyous merrymaking. Such
vas the note that greeted a certain
slowly moving wagon, whose heavily
clogged wheels turned into the Mere
dith's gate near midnight. The be
lated guest was evidently one entirely
familiar with the premises, for, not
withstanding the darkness of the night,
the ponderous wheels turned accurate
ly into the curve beyond the magnolia
tree, moved slowly but surely alons
the, drive up to the door, and stopped
iwith hesitation exactly opposite the
"landirfg," well-nigh invisible tonight.
After the ending of the final dance,
during the very last moments of the
closing year, there was always at the
old year party an Interval of silence.
The old men held their watches In
their hands, and the young peopla
spoke in whlnpers.
10 was this last waiting interval that
in years passed the old man Prophet
had filled with portent, even though,
until his last prophesy, his words had
keen lightly spoken.
As the crowd sat waiting tonight,
Watching the hands of the old clock
nto Which Limped a Tall Muffled
I'iglllC
that seemed almost to have stopped, so
slow was their movement, listening to
the never hurrying tick-tack of the long
pendulum against the wall, It Is proba
ble that memory, quickened by circum
stances and environment, supplied to
every mind present a picture of the
old man, as he had often stood before
(them;
A careful turn of the front door latch,
fo Blight a. click as to be scarcely. dis
cernible, came at this moment, as the
clank of a sledge-hammer, turning all
'heads with a common Impulse toward
the slowly opening door. Into which
limped a . tall, mudled figure, that
seemed to the' startled eyes of the
company to reach quite to the celling.
Those sitting near the door started
back In terror at the apparition, and all
were on their feet In a moment.
But ihavlng entered, the figure stood
still Just within the door. And before
there was time for action or question,
even, a bundle of old wraps had fallen
end the old man Prophet, bearing In his
arms a golden-haired cherub of about
two years, stood in the presence of the
company. ,
The revulsion of feeling, indescriba
ble by words, was quickly told by fast
flowing tears. Looking upon the old
man and the child, everyone present
read a new chapterln the homo tragedy,
end wept In Its presence.
Coming from the dark night Into the
light, 'the old man could not for a tnq.

meut discern the faces he knew, and
when the little one, shrinking from
the glare, -hid her face Jn his hair, it
was as if time had turned back, so per
fect a restoration was the picture of
a familiar one of the old days. No
word had yet been spoken, and the
ticking of the great clock and the
crackling lire mingled with sobs
were the only sounds that broke the
stillness, when the old man, having
gotten his bearing, walked directly
dp to old Mrs. Meredith and laid the
child in her arms. Then, lo?ing no
time but, pointing to the clock that
was slowly nearing the hour, he said,
In a voice tremulus with emotion:
"De time is most here. Is you all
ready to shek hands? Ef you is
everybody turn round and come with
me." ,
As he spoke, he turned back to the
still open door, and before those who
had followed had taken in his full
meaning, he had drawn Into the mom
a slim, shrinking figure, und little May
Day Meredith, pale, frightened and
weather-beaten, stood before them.1
If it was her own father who was
first to grasp her hand, and if he car
ried her In Jils arms to her mother, It
was that the rest deferred to his first
claim, and that their hearty and af-
I Aint Xcvcr Fired Her Lut One't.
fc-ctionate greetings came later In their
proper order. The striking of the
(rrvat clock now, mingled with the
sound of joy and of weeping the con
gratulations, handshaking and words
of praise fervently uttered made- a
scene ever to be held dear In the annals
of Simpklnsville. A soene beyond
words of description a family meeting
which even lifetime friends recognized
as too sacred for their eyes and hur
ried, weeping, away.
It was when the memorable, sad,
joyous party was over, that Prophet,
following old man McMonigle out,
called him aside for a moment. Then
putting Into his hands a small object,
he said In a tremulous voice:
"Much obliged for de loan o' de' pis
tol. Marse Dan'l. Hold her keerful,
eaze she's loaded des de way you loaded
her all 'cept one barrel. I ain't never
lired her but onc't."

It 'Disgusted Her1 to Hear Him Speak
Slightingly of the Autocrat.
The story Is recalled by the Boston
Transcript of a y'ounif Virginia coun
try girl dlnlnff in that city some yours
ago, in the days when Dr. Holmes went
to dinners. Seated next her at table
was a homely, little old gentleman,
whose niune ehe did not catch. lie
began to talk with her, and auked her
how she passed her time In the country.
"Oh, we read, my father and I," she
said.
"What do you read?" asked the little
old man.
"Well, the 'Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table,' for one thing," she answered.
"I should think you would not care
to .read that more than once," re
marked the little old man, in a tone
of Flight disparagement.
"My father and I may not be Judges
of literature," airily said Miss Virginia,
with a faint accent or scorn, "but when
we get to the end of the 'Autocrat' we
generally turn 'back to the beginning
and read It Over again."
The little old man smiled at this, and
was disposed to be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so disgusted with his tone
concerning the "Autocrat" that she met
him with chilly Indifference.
As soon ns the guests went Into the
drawing room her hostess whispered
reproachfully to her: "You didn't seem
to nnd Dr. Holmes as Interesting as I
hoped."
Dr. Holmes!" shrieked MIns Virginia.
