A PEDDLER'S PERlL.
The sun sank oehinl the western
mountain peaks, and the short twilight
of t-utbern latitudes came on a apace
After a time tlie man of the hoiwe came
in. He was tall and thin. Two ferret
likeeyea gleamed sharply upon the ped
dler frota amid a shaggy tangle of white
hair and beard.
lie placed his long ride in a rack over
the door, uaslung his shot pouch and
ttien seated himself and gazed gloomily
into the fire, w ithout vouchsafing either
a greeting to the stranger ora word to his
own family. Nan, pawing by whispered
to the peddler.
"iXm't ye mind nncle ; he's got one of
his bad spells on now, but if he ain't
bothered it'll pass off by and by."
The peddler nodded, and began a tale
concerning one of his adventures in
Texas, lie was soon interrupted by
Aunt Viney.
"sit cp, stranger," said she. "We
haia't got much to eet, but such as it is
you're welcome.
The old man ate his supper in solemn
silence, after which he took his hat and
abruptly left the cabin. Aunt Viney saw
fit to explain.
"Moses, my old man, hasn't been ex
actly like hiflself since the revenoo men
carried his eon John off five years ago
hut April."
"f.llin I s'spoee?"
"Yes, 'nd top of that he shot one of
'em while they were trying to take him,
nd they put him in ven'teash'ry at Nash
ville for ten years."
The peddler remained silent for a mo
ment or two. But when the dishes were
washed and pat away he again enlertain
the two women by relating sundry remin
iscences of his own career, and also de
scribing the wonders of certain great
cities be had visited.
After a while Moses again stalked si
lently in and t'Xik a seat in a far corner.
While the peddler talked he continued
to eye him closely, as if suspicious that
the stranger, was not just what he should
be.
:peakin' of the telephone," continued
the peddler, "some folks in these moun
tains don't believe that people can talk
to each other, 'nd them a hundred or
more miles apart, but I tell ye it's a fact.
I've seed it done myself."
"Ive knowed of men bollerin' across
from one mountain to another," said
Aunt Viney dubiously. "Mebbe they
could make themselves heard a matter
of two miles but a hundred" she
shook her head disapprovingly.
"It's so all the same, though. Eve sot
'nd heard 'em talkin' jus as we be now."
"That's as big a lie as ever was told,"
exclaimed old Moses, risirjgand making
for the door.
He seized his rifle as he passed, threw
a menacing glance at the peddler, and
once more lef the cabin.
"Old man's a little touched in the
bead ; ain't he 7" asked the peddler, who
seemed to take no oIfen.se whatever at
tbe old man's rude behavior.
"Ever since John was took off he's had
queer spells that corns over him every
no and then. I must say he'smore'n
apt to be 'spbhus of strangers when they
came around, ll's always thinkin'of
ravenoo spies. I destay that's what
makes bior act so toward yoa. Bat
yoa musn' mind him. I never know'd
him to cacceed in hurting any one yet."
It waa.Nan who replied, for Aunt Vi
ney was making preparations to retire for
the night. When the girl and the ped
dler were left alone tne latter seemed
somewhat curious about this son John,
who for so many years had been under
the ban of the law.
"John was always good to l"nc!e Mose
and Aunt Viney, 'ud that's one reason
Uncle Mose Lakes it all so hard no."
"I s'spoee bein' as you're kin to 'em
yoa must V felt powerful bad wuen they
lock him off?"
He eyed Nan c'.ossly as he spoke, and
the girl biaslied slightly.
"1 ain't no real kin to 'em," said she.
"My fjiks is ail dead, 'nd they raised
me from a little gal, bat John 'nd me
was a! ways good friends."
"Notning more 7"
Tne girl looked at him reprovingly.
"It's about bedtime," said she coldly.
"Shan't I show yoa were you're to
s'.tep?"
Tne peddler rose, took np his pack and
followed her into the little shed room.
There was an open window by the bed,
through which the full moon was shin
ing. - Yoa won't need no light, I reckon,"
she remarked. Tben, bidding him good
night, she returned to the main cabin
and went to bed herself.
But for some reason she failed to sleep.
Tbe bright moonlight, tie rasping cry of
katydids from the trees without and the
discomforting nature cf her thoughts
kept her awake. She felt Tagneiy uneasy
about Uncle Mose. Where was be?
Very likely at the little moonshine still
op Bear Hollow, half a mile away. He
often spent the night there engaged in
his illicit toil. She recembered his un
friendly treatment of the peddler, whose
heavy breathing could now be heard
through the trim partition wall. He
had once laid in wait, rifle in hand, for a
passing drover, whom be had set down
for a spy. Only Annt Viney's prompt
appearance had prevented a probable
reorder. Uncle Mose, tbocga a gol

man enoagh when in his right mind,
was a dangeroaa. uncertain personage
when stirred by the memory of his son
into a spirit of half insane hostility
against all the world.
So nneAsy did Nan become that at last
she rose, s'ipped oa her dress and stole
out into the moonlight An impulse
she could not controll impelled her to
peep in at the peddler's open window.
She was prompted by fan indefinable fear.
What rhe saw there caused her to start
back, clasp her hands and gwp for
breath. Then, trembling in every limb,
she looked again, .
"My tiod 1" she faltered. "Am I dream
in'? Surely it cant be nd yet I must
believe my own eyes."
Acting under a new impulse she turn
ed and tied along the trail leading to the
stilL Arrived there she found the place
silent and deserted. There was no fire
in the furnace and nothing to be heard
bat the cries et the wbippoorwills upon
the mountain side.
Full of painful forebodings she retraced
her steps and once wore crouched be
neath the peddler's window. There she
waited until her limbs became cramped
and the night air chilled her to the bone.
"I might as well lie down again," she
thought. "I reckon ancle's gone down
the valley, for he 'lowed to-day as he'd
have to go after coffee right away. I
could wake the man up, but somehow I
dannn't. He might think I was forward."
But a second trial of the bed was no
better than the first. Tbe peddler's
heavy breathing was ever in her ears,
and her thoughts reverted constantly to
the sense of peril that vaguely, yet per
sistently kept herapon the tender-books,
of anxiety.
"I wish mornin' wou'.d coats," she
said lor the hundredth time. "Lord
what a meeting there'll be then !"
Tbe sound cf a stealthy footfall upon
the gravel without brought her to a sit
ting position at once. Her heart beat
loudly aa she listened breathlessly. Ya
it was moving around the house. -Now
she could hear it no more. Could she
have imagined it all ? No; there it was
again in the back porch.
Then then she heard a gentle creak;
ing sound. Ah! The shed room door.
She sprang out of bed, and a hasty bound
brought her to the door leading to the
back porch. She wrenched it open just
in time to catch a glimpse of a tall shad
ow that disappeared a ithin the 6htd
room.
"tfood Lord, help niel" she faintly
ejaculated as she sprang forward, nerved
to desperation by this dreadful fuln'.l
ment.of her fears.
She entered the room, There lay the
peddler, slumbering heavily in the white
glow of tbe moonlight. His face was
strangely altered, Isr the heavy beard
had fallen off, leaving exposed a clean
shaven youthful fa.. But the white
bearded old man ben ting over the pros
trate form with uplifted knife saw noth
ing distinctly. To his morbid imagin-1
ing only the form of a hated spy lay
helpless before him. A spy in the ser
vice of tue detested "revenoos," who had
robbed hi. n of his only and well be.ov
ed son.
"Uncle !" screamed Nan, drajiug hiin
back. "Uncle! You shall not. Can't
yoa see? it's Joha our Jjhn your
John!"
The pedeler woke and stared upward
in a bewildered way. The knife fell to
the floor as Moses, his eyes almost start
ing from his head, stared at his son's
white face. Suddenly he comprehended
and the effect descended open him lik a
thunderbolt.
Uttering alow, quivering cry he sank
to his knees by the bedside, and his head
fell forward. Nan's and John's eyes met
in a mutually recognizing glance ; then
tbey turned their attention to the old
man. As they laid him npon the bed
Aunt Viney, awakened by the noise, came
in. She fell as though confronted by a
ghost.
John!" she exclaimed. "Yet it can't
shorely be !"
"Yes, it is mother. I didnt know how
you'd all take my beta' so long in the
pen, so when the governor pardoned ma
out I 'lowed I'd come home as .a psdller
'nd in disguise till I found out if you all
cared for me any more."
While John was speaking Mop open
ed his eyes, and tears blinded them as he
gazed.
"My 3on, my son!" he inarm red
brokenly. "And I might have killed
him! My mind's madecp. There'll be
no more Btillin' done in Bar holler after
this."
"Do yoa reckon Nan cares for me any
more, father?" asked John, while his
eyes sought those of Nan.
"Of course she do. Hasn't she been
grievin' herself away ever sir.ee yoa was
tojk. She never looked at another
man."
Nan's confasioa seemed to sanction
this.
"There's only one thing then to be
done," interrupted Aunt Viney decisive
ly. They've just pt to go over to the
circa. t rider's next Sunday 'nd git mar
ried. After that's over 'nd done with,
Mose, I do hope you'll behave yourself
in fatur' ."
"Haint I said I weren't eotn' to 'still
whiskey any more?" K ' illin's been at
the bottom of all oar trou 'es."
While the old folks tailed John tok
Nan's hand in his, and they stealthily
kissel each other. Pu'.'a.: .'. ia T7m'A
The Place Was Open.
A runaway darkey, before the war,
was on his way to Canada, and was met
by a country mas, who questioned him
as to the treatment be had received at
the hands of his master.
" Didn't you have enough to eat ?' the

" I see," said Mrs. Bowser, as she sat
reading the paper the other evening,
while Mr. Bowser was trying to dig a peg
oat of his shoe "I see that another
Brooklyn man has ran away and left his
wife." '
"Has, eh? We", I don't wender at
it," replied Mr. Bowser. i
"Tid you read the item?"
"Oh, but I know how it Lappened.
Ha found out that he couldn't take a bit
cf comfort in his home, and he left it.
Nooce knows the misery that poor man
suffered before he took that step."
" It dueen't say he was unhappy."
" Of course not. No husband ever gets
justice to say nothing of pitty. 11! bet
he suffered a thousand deaths before be
walked away to die in some lonely spot
by his own hand."
" Well, dear, you'll never be driven
away at any act of mine," she said as
she went over and kissed hira.
" W-what in thunder are yoa doing?"
shouted Mr. Bowser, as he dropped the
t-hoe and sprang up..
" Why, I kissed yoa."
" Well, I don't want anybody blowing
into my ears or spitting on my chin !
What struck yoa all at once?"
"There was a time, Mr. Bjwser there
was a time when "
" When what?
" When yoa said that if I would kite
you, you would be the happiest man in
the whole world.
"Never! Never even hinted such a
thing ! I wasn't that sort of a noodle
head !"
"Mr. Bowser! Why, there was fur
three months, while I was making np
my mind to marry you, that you could
hardly live from day to day."
"Waiting! Yoa waiting! Well that is
cool! That tickles me ha! ha! ha!" he
shouted, as he hel l his sides.
" Yes, waiting."
" Why ha ! ha! ha! yoa said 'yes so
mighty quick you bit your tongue in do

ing away becau-e I feared yoa would
say no "'
"Do yoa remember the pet name yoa
used to call me T' she asked.
" Pet nonsense !"
" Ycu called me your red wild rose."
" Eed wild pigweed ! Are yoa getting
soft ia the head, Mrs. Bowser?"
"Nearly all year letters to me were
dated anywhere from midnight to 1
o'clock in tbe morning, and "
"Never! Never wrote yoa a letter ex
cept in the afternoon, when I hadn't any
thingto do anl wanted to cue up half an
hour's time," replied Mr. Bowser.
"And every oue of them speaks of how
lonely yoa were, and with what joyous
anticipations yoa looked forward to your
next call."
"Lonely ! Joyous anticipations! I'd be
apt to lonely when there were a dozen
or more mighty good looking girls after
me, wouldn't I?"
But in a few brief years after mar
riage how .the average husband des

you are feeling badly why don't you go

Harry Hall, who write interesting let

visited the flag room at the Capitol, and
be sends the Tli-n-s a column about iL
He says:
" There is an upper room in the Capitol,
away from the noise aad hubbub of leg
islation, whither the feet of many pil
grims tend. Mott of these are men bo
longer young. Their heads are grizzled
and gray; they are men of the empty
and limping gait, ami sounding crutch,
and very many wear the dark blue
clothes and bronze buttons that tell they
are comrades of tbe Grand Array of the
Eepubli' When the delegates to the
recent Department Encampment at Leb
anon were passing through the Capitol
on their way there, or on their return,
there was a continual procession cf old
soldiers toward that room, and no week
day passes that does not see a dozen or
more veterans from all parts of the State
and many former Pennsylvanians whose
homes are in other Commonwealths, en
ter its door and gaze with reverence and
affection upon the treasures it contains.
Not seldom gray-haired men shed silent i
tears, and when a group comes ia toirelh
er there are t-!d reminiscences cf stirring
scenes, and, like Goldsmith's wandering
veteran, one will 'shoulder hi? crutch and
tell how fields were woa.'
" For this is the Sure flag-room, aad
here are enshrine" 1 the faded, battle-tora,
and uijiiering banners beneath whose
folds Pennsylvania's soldiere faced death
on a hundred harl-f ouht fields. There

except those of the Fifty-fourth and
Niuety-oixth infantry and the Eighteenth

whether lost in the foaming caldron of
war, or throofh carelessness or neglect, j
history fails to note.
