H wmtM hnM been allium ns much
Of a nhnrk to the Rood lesldentM of
Hazorvlllo to see Hill "olier, as to see
Jurlirrs HollNtei HtiiRRpr down the
street In a remote mate of lnebrletj,
fo ncctintnniprl weie they to his eter
nally iiroiracled drunk. In fart, there
were two conditions In which Hill wiii
never remembeied to have been real
nngry or perfei tly sober- He had a
habit of dlr-appiailnK- for a day or two,
at times, and returning In a dilapi
dated condition with some trophy of
the tilp sometimes a filthy member
of the RrutH ranis family, who would
necomp.iny him in all of his nislos
until becomlnK disgusted at the nti
nvTous cobblestones nml biirk-bats
whose destination sevVrallv seemed to
be a particular portion or his anatomy
ycleped, rlhs toRcthcr with divers
tin receptacles, which were peilodl
cally attached to hl-s terminal appen
dnRe, he wotilil decamp, leaving devas
tation in his wake, In the shape of
vacant hen-coops.
Rill made his appearance one even
ing, nt the termination of one of those
periods of oblivion, ncrompanled by a
t-lovenlv looking fellow, who boie in
his arms a sunny-halied little girl of
about five. Roth men were In an In
toxicated condition, and the tot would
now and again cry out and clap her
little hands In childish glee as the fel
low who was carrying her would stag
ger In drunken incnpnnlllty under the
weight of her frail body, she recog
nizing nothing In It other than that of
a means he was exercising for her
diversion.
At List, after describing Innumeiable
fietnl-ircles, the trio reached the ram
shackle structure which Bill Inhabited
and the thice disappeared within.
The child made her appeaiance on
the following morning in a clean
frock, and with hands and face like
the proverhlal pin. She scampeied
across the stieet, to where the other
little ehlldirn were playing, nnd, by
wav of Introduction, divided amongst
them the stick of randy she held in
her chubby little hands. The prof
fered sweets were accepted with teadl
ness, but when they weie exhausted,
and the giver unable to replenish the
supply, they pushed her down and inn
off. saying, contemptuously, and with
nn elevation of the olfactory organ,
they had come to a definite conclusion
that they would not, under any cir
cumstances, assoclato with "Cousin
Bill's" girl.
''Cousin Rill's' gill," poor little tor
loin creature, seemed to accept the
Mtuation philosophically. She eat wheie
the others had pushed her, and fought
bark the tears that swelled up In her
blue eyes. This accomplished, she
arose, and gulping down a little lump
that persisted in lodging In her tin oat.
she toddled back to her own play
ground. The stronger seemed to lie the un
fortunate possessor of no little amount
of money, for ever nnd anon, through
out the day, would Hill emeige, enn
In hand, and wend his way to a neigh
boring brer shop for a. fresh supply of
the Jocund beeragL-.
The other, nppaiently, did not court
the nomlctv that Hill did, for never
while tliflr caiouso lasted was he seen
outside the door, and when he did
make his appearance, sometime later,
he was not Intoxicated. In build he
resembled Bill, tall and thin, hut his
face, which was clean-shaven and pale,
bore traces of refinement that was
missing In the lineaments of his com
panion Dissipation left Its mark upon
him in the shape of a dull eye and a
mouth, onre compicsscd In deteimln
atlon, hut which was now beginning to
droop nt the cornels.
Although neither of them did labor of
nny kind, there seemed to be an ahund
ance of money, nor did they seek to
better their suiroundings In any shape
or-form, but led a maudlin existence
Bill openly, the other with u closenos
akin to secrecy.
Matteis went on In this way tor
about the pet led of n year, when one
wild winter night the sti.mger went oif
with a fit of delirium, in the midst of
a prolonged debauch. Hill was affected
by a genuine and melancholy sadness
at this occurrence. Ho hung about the
body of his friend, which lay in a plnln
coffin in a loom of his dingy abode,
and cried with the anguish of a lather
over the lifeless body of hi first-bom.
At the funeral there was but one car
rlagc other than that which held the
coffln. In It were Bill and the little
child, whoep laughing face was piessed
against the window, enjoying the nov
city of her llrst vide, nnd without one
thought of the occupant of the con
veyance ah.id. Hill leaned back In the
carriage with a wan and haggard face.
He had not the heart to take the child
back from the window, although ho
heard remarks which were occasioned
by the sight of her, such as: 'Toor
thing, she ought to be taken away from
that brute, now that her father Is
dead,"
It was one of those dull, dreary days
late In November that seem to be with
out an afternoon, so quickly does the
darkness tread upon the heels of day.
Night was Jiifct beginning to fall as
they entered the cemeteiy.
The old Sexton and mil, assisted by
the drivers, took the coilln fiom tho
hearse and loweicd it Into the newly
made grave.
A low, heart-rending sob broke from
Bill a ho heard tho clods of earth
strike upon the coilln.
The child, who had followed them
unobserved, gavo n shrill scieam and
flew nt the sexton and tried to stay his
shovel.. The kindly old fellow gath
ered her. sobbing wildly, in his arms
nnd plnced her In the outstretched
ones of mil, who tinned and walked
slowly toward the caulago with his
burden,
Some few days afterward, when the
representative of tho society who had
unsuccessfully tiled i'o wrest tho child
from the father while he lived, called
upon Bill, ho was met with a surprise.
Tho child had disappeared, and upon
him being Informed that she was in
the Wopsesslon of relatives In New
York state and voicing his doubts as
to the veiacity of tho statement, was
Kicked out of doors by tho maker of
BV ANTHONr F. GANNON.

said statement, nnd given to under
stand that should ho call again lie
would be nufi with a reception in
painful fnu simile of the present one.
"WY will now pass over ten outwarl
ly uneventful yean, in the I1Cj of Hill,
which were to lilm years f: might villi
event, tor during then lie changed
from the Jolly devll-me care lnclulate
that he wns, to a decrepit, gray-hnlred
grasping nnd miserly old man, who
wui genetally disliked for his nlggiiul
ly habits.
Never after the death of his friend
was the sign of liquor seen upon him,
ami what was moie surprising, he
piesentcd himself at the mouth of the
coal mine one morning, about a week
nfterwnul, as a candidate for a posi
tion. He never paid nny attention to the
gibes of those about him In the mine,
who laughed nt the Incongr'iojs Idea
of "Cousin Hill" working. Gradually
the 11. ugh fellows came to iccognlze
the fact that he was serious In the
mattei, but r.ot tilt a few monthly pay
days had gone by without shaking IiIb
iesolutlnn in icgaid to drink.
He applied himself with avidity to
ovcly poffdble chance of ernlng a
cent a course which Is approved of at
first by that Improvident as a mle
class amongst whom he lived, but
which Is condemned and labeled pe
liurloiisness as the industrious one
rises nhove them In the posslsslon of
woildly goods. In the evening nnd
upon the days when there was no
work for him In the mine he would
employ his time ndvantngeously work
ing In the gardens of the wealthy ele
mentan occupation In which he pos
sesed no moan skill, nnd, ns a conse
quence, was much In demand.
It is a curious fact that when Bill
was his own greatest enemy he en
Joyed the good nn tilted tolerance, If
not the friendship, of the community,
who, after seeing lilm spend a few
years In the acquisition of wealth,
agreed en masse to dislike him; some
because of his aval Ice; others for the
reason that he chose to go In rags
when he could nfford well to wenr
good dothe; others because he 111;
used himself so much In his Inordinate
gieed for wealth ns to eat only the
pooi est of victuals nnd can led water
In his bottle to the mine when the
poorest miner can led tea or coffee.
These, and many vmoresueh, were the
leasons given for their dislike of the
man who some years since they passed
with a Pinllo as ho wallowed in the
gutter habited In the meanest lags.
lie conversed with few, nnd was on
Intimate teims with no one save the
old priest. Father Whaiton, nt whose
home he sometimes spent his Sunday
evenings.
The suspension of '72 came, and with
It the horrors which made that year
memorable In the annals of that staid
little town.
The men at the Starkton-Moife col
liery had been undergoing for yen is a
steady and systematic icductlon, until
driven at last to desperation at the
sight of their children going almost
shoeless to school that they might not
go supperless to bed, and led on by
the deceptive harangues of the wily
labor agitator, they suspended work
nnd began a long and bitter light
against the relentless opeintors.
Their btother"laboiei.s at the numer
ous other collieries, although they did
not f.ue much better themselves, went
out on stiike also, in sympathy with
the oppiesscd ones, thereby tin owing
every mine In the vicinity Idle. Tho
operators at out e senl the ngei,Ls
about the country for the purpose of
gatheiing together sulllcient men to
woik the different mines, nor was their
mission unsuccessful, for by the end of
two or three weeks the Starkton-Motse
was In full operation, as was also home
three or four other collieries.
Met thus with defeat on every hand
and ci.ized at the ciies of their ehll
dien for bread, the stilkers thiew pru
dence to the winds and resorted to vio
lence. After one wild scene of blood
shed and murder the governor was ap
pealed to, and, as a consequence, the
militia pounced down upon the little
tow n to enforce order.
Sad nnd solemn were the few days
following the riot. Two of the strlk
eis weie killed in it, each leaving a
wife and some helpless little children.
Amid the walling of these they burled
the unfortunate fellows, and dividing
the orphans nmnngst themselves, who
had alicady too many mouths to feed,
they turned homeward with vengeance
In their hearts.
Tho picsence of tho militia tended
to keep them from forming mobs, or
trom approaching tho different col
lieries which were In operation, for
some days afterward, until rumors of
desertion from their ranks begnn to bo
heard. It was said that some seven
or eight, amongst whom was tho mis-
eily old Bill, had gone back to their
woik In the Starkton-Moise nt a still
moie reduced wage rate, t'pon learn
ing this -to bo tiue. their rage knew no
hounds, nor was it directed so much
against the poor fellows who were
driven to it by the cries of their starv
ing children, as nt the grasping old
miser, whom they believed to be able,
not only to nld the cause by remaining
Idle, but to lend a helping hand to
those In need.
Quietly the woid was passed about
amongst tho strikers to come on a cer
tain evening to a rendezvous about
one-half mile in tho rear of the'staik-ton-Morse,
known as Hunter's Olen,
prepaintory to a combined attack
upon the blacklegs.
Tho evening of the day specified
found a desperate anil determined
body of men gathered In the nien,
Some few weie armed with shotguns,
but the majority carried heavy cudg
els, which they had wtenched from
the surrounding trees, and now wero
brandishing them in the air waiting
Impatiently for tho word to advance.
Starvation had driven all vestige of
humanity from their hearts, leaving
tho brute Instinct uppermost, and they
were now ready and eager to dash out
the brains of those who stood between
them and food for their children.
After considerable winngllug, they
agreed to scatter about at the edge of
the wood In tho vicinity of the Stark-
ton-.Motse, and, as tho blacklegs left
the placo In a body for their sleeping
quartets at tho close of tho day's
work, as was their custom, pounco
down upon them, cut off retreat, and
wreak vengeance.
Tho unaggresslveness of the strik
ers for the past few weeks had thrown
tho operators off their guard so much
that they relaxed their characteristic
vigilance In protecting their Interests
to tho extent of removing the armed
guiiid from tho mouth of the mine.
Consequently, their employes, when
only a short distance away from the
colliery, found themselves surrounded
by a mob of Infuriated men. The en
suing scene was appalling. Hetreat
was Impossible, as was also (light, for
on nil sides wete the gaunt, starved
looking strikers nrmed nnd bearing
down upon them, night and left
swung tho death-dealing bludgeons
through the mass of stampeding
blacklegs, bearing down with them a
victim nt each blow.
The ciles of the wounded, mingled
with the exultant shouts of the others
us they ttamplcd In a frenzy of hatred

Wednesdiy, July 10 There is one bird on the
on the bodies of the fallen, made the
r-ceno a horrifying one, Suddenly,
there was a loud bliout as the foim of
old Hill was scon endeavorlnfj ildly
to extricate himself from tho atriifr
BlliiK masti. A IiIb sturdy fellow,
whoso faco was spattered ilth blood,
swunfr his club hlRh In the air and
brought It down upon his Ktey head,
which eiaekled under the blow like an
CKRhhell.
A detachment of the militia, which
had been summoned, now ni rived, and
the stilkeis took to their heels.
The friends of the victims of the
riot removed the Injured ones, nnd tho
bodies of the dend were claimed and
carried off, as some sorrowing relative
came upon the .scene. Two fellows
htandlns by, whose hearts were
touched nt the rirIU of old 13111 lyliiK
filendless nnd staring fixedly up at
the evenlns sky, procured a stretcher
and phiclnff the limp form upon it,
carried it to his home.
The sight of poverty which met their
eyes upon pnterliiK In no way surprised
them, for they were acquainted enoiiRh
with his penurious ways to know that
he denied himself even some of the
necessities of life. As they laid the
body on a niKRod cot, which stnod In
tho corner of tho bare room, a letter
dropped from tho Inner pocket of his
coat to the floor. It was addressed to
him In a woman's handwriting, and
was still unopened. He had probably
got It sometime that day while nt
work, for It was the custom of tho
operator, since work began, to send to
the postofllco for the mall of his men
that they mlcht not expose themselves
to the Injury of the strlkeis,
Curiosity Retting the best of them,
one smeared his lingers with coal dirt,
to make It appear that Hill had opened
it, tore off the edge of the envelope,
and removed tho letter. It ran:

Dear Father.
1 cannot find in my heart another nimc for you,

ABOUT THE CUCUMBER.
Hardest Worked of Vegetables nnd
Sometimes tho Best,
from the New Voik Sun.
The cucumber Is the hnrdest worked
member of the vegetable kingdom. At
least It Is If we may Judge by the
ar!ety of Its uses. From America to
Asia Minor It appeals as an article of
food on dinner tables and supper

that does not exhaust Its possibilities

After a few dnjs the juice lermentx,
and tho Egyptian draw'ng It off has
p. liquor exactly suited to his taste,
"When my lady wis-ht-s to allay sun

on general prlimplrp she calls for
cucumber soap or cucumber cream.
The very name makes her think that
the preparation must be ha-inless as
well as eiricacious and the Beau Hrum
mels of toduy use cucumber pomade
with tho Mime sense of security.
Then pickles what Is moie univer
sally popular than the pickle, nnd what
new fnnglcd Invention can bear com
parison with the old-fashioned time
honored cucumber pickle? From the
days of kilts and pinafores when hos
and girls ate a huge pnny plckh
with surreptitious bites, to the days
of formal dlnneis, when baby cucum
bers appear as gherkins, wnat relish
sharpens hunger like a pickle.'
For the cucumber In Its natural
state Is at once the temptation nnd tho
menace of tho eating wot Id. Plump,
green and Inviting as It Is, doctors
who have delicate digestions In charge
taboo It. Tho aveiage man eats It
cheerfully, but with a sneaking fear of
consequences. Mental science should
turn Its attention to cucumbers for a
while. If it should convince tho uni
versal mind that cucumbers were in
reality digestible and could Issue a
guarantee with every cucumber sold,
the dlgchtivo woe nf humanity would
be wonderfully lightened.
