THE FLXDIXG OF
GARFIELD BEAKIX.
KY t;)IiE I- CAMPKKI.U
It was a great, old, rambling houe
tuidiy in neitl of repair and it stixsl hi
the midst of a little grove of giant pine
and wide spreading lieeches that threw
over it an uncanny and iiiiwhoh-sntne
shadow. lU-yond it the fu-hU Htreteh
ed away to the wood in a rough and
rather dreary picturcsiuenes8 that was
often changed to a scene of the w ildcst
beauty when the nuKtn burst out from
a mass of tawny clouds and let a flood
of liquid silver down over the stumps
and crags and the wild-waving arms of
uprooted pines and on to the forest
running dow n to a mystical linxcand
distance in the valicy.
The house was occupied by the team
ster and the young man from the city
and his family. The teamster bad la-en
in bed aud asleep for two hours past.
He always slept soundly and rarely
stirred exevpt at intervals when, with
a convulsive but unconscious move
ment, be would raise himself in bed,
turn a half-somersault and land on his
other side to the imminent risk of the
old-fashioned cord bedstead on which
he reposed.
The young man and his wife had also
retired and were just composing t'.ieia
aclves for sleep when a knock sounded
tin the door that fairly shtaik the house,
followed by a masculine bellow of ''Hel
lo ! there!"
"It's Emily," growled the j-oung
man getting out of tied. "I wonder
what the devil's up now."
The knock was repeated and the M
low sounded again.
".Say, are you all dead in there ?''
"No, I'm coming," yelled the young
man in reply a-" he .-truck a light and
opened the door.
Two women pushed into the house
without ceremony. One wasa tall gaunt
specimen of humanity with an eagle
nose, sharp t-yes and a mouth like an
inverted U that closed in bard and
tense lines under the bouutiful sprout
ing of an incipient moustache. She
was masculine by nature, and iier
training had taught her to swear like a
triKtpcr and bold her own with any
man. Tiie other women was small and
shriveled up, with a look of vacancy in
her eyes that had come from years of
sizing on the bare walls of her cabin
on which was depicted no dream or
hojie for the future.
"Is Dell home?" asked the tall wo
man. "Yes he is in lied," answered the
young man.
"Well, they want him to go out for
Jim and Mary Carlield Ikt kin's lievti
shot and they want him to go after
them."
"Who, tiarfU-ld ?" iieried the young
mail. "Oh, Dell I see. How did it
happen?"
lloth women started to tell the story,
but the masculine voice of the tall one,
Emily, drowned the other ouL
"They sent him over to the ostofllee
this eveuin' just afore dusk. He didn't
want to go ami took a gun along and
don't know how to use it more'n a
baby. He hain't liecii to any houses
and they've hunted all over for hint
and hain't found him yiL He's shot
himself, that's what he's done."
"He'd be scairt to death, anyway, by
this time," chimed in the other women
seeing her opportunity. "You know
he hain't bright."
"Oil, he may turn tip all right yet,"
stt id the young man cheerfully, "I'll
see what IX-1I says."
He went up stairs to the teamster's
room and rapjied on the door.
"What's wanted ?" growled a coarse
voice on tiie other side.
"Dell, they say Ciarfield Itex kill has
shof himself, and Emily and Mrs. Dag
hoii have come to get you to go after
Jim and Mary. They haven't found
CSarfleld as yet, but feel confident that
he has either shot himself or died of
fright, and they want the relatives
notified."
A volley of strange oaths came back
through the keyhole. "Tell them,"
growled the teamster, "that if they
want the rest of the family shot I'll get
up."
The lied squeaked as the teamster
rolled to a new position, aud the young
man descended the stairs to break the
refusal as gently as possible.
"How far is it to where Jim is work
ing?" he asked.
" 'Bout seven miles," answered Em
ily. "Yes? Well, IK-11 thinks it's most
too far to go until they are sure (Jar
field is dead."
Emily rose from her chair, walked
to the stair door aud threw it ojten with
a bang.
"Dell !" Her voice surged up the
stairway and thundered into the room
beyond.
"Well, what is it?"
"He you a goin' fer Jim and Mary ?"
Xo answer.
"You forgit about when your father
and mother died, don't yer?" bawled
the woman.
"Hut Ciarfield haiu't dead yet,"
growled back the teamster.
"How do you know he hain't dead?
That hain't what ails ye ! Yer afraid
Jim Deegan I'll catch ye and lick ye
again ; that's what's the matter with
yer. He wasn't afraid of ye, was lie?
Didn't run from ye, did he? Laid ye
out like a little man, didn't he d ye V
The lied squeaked savagely and un
holy muttering fell through the regist
ESTABLISHED 1827.
er, but the teamster ventured no reply.
Emily turned away and wtt down again
letting her head drop moodily on her
hands.
You had letter rest here awhile,"
said tiie young man aoffy. "My wife
will make you a cup of tea, and I'll
alip over to see if they have found t!ar
fiel.L Outside the moon was shining bright
ly, the air hung hazy in the distance,
but was cold enough wiihal that the
young man buttoned up his coat and
stepjatl out briskly. His course led
him through a stretch of woods by a
large farm, on by a grove of beech and
maples, aud past the iaker meeting
house and school gleaming a brilliant
white in the 'moonlight. Another
farm house and then thelteckiu home
stead, where all was light a;id excite
ment with the wailing of women drift
ing tiut on the nighL The young man
understood the signs so well that he
stopped not to inquire, but hastened
on. A long curve in the road, a dm
from the hill down into the valley and
there on a bridge spanning a turbulent
j little stream was a crowd of a dozen
j men.
A large, burly blacksmith, the appa-
rent leader of tiie crowd, was address
ing the men :
"Now, boys," he was saying, "we've
bin over the hull road, and inter all the
n leaders and we hain't found him yiL
Now the next thing is to tackle these
woods. We'll all spread out and go
right through them and back again,
and if we don't find Mm we'll know
the reason why. First we'll all holler
agin."
The yell that followed was enough
to wake the dead, but elicited no re
sponse. Then a youth shot oil" an old
musket he had purloined for the oc
casion and got kicked by it into the
creek for his pains. In the general
laugh that followed the party separat
ed aud the young man found himself
iu the wake of two itieu whom heat
last recognized w ith a start.
They were both Dutchmen, one a
burly broad-shouldered six-footer, a
(junker and happy in the recent ac
quirement of his second wife. The
other was small, slim and wiry, qtiick-tciiiH.-rvd
and mad.y jealous of the
other for marrying the woman ou
whom he had liecn wont to liestow no
small degree of afTi-ctitm of iiis own.
The conjunct ion was ominous.
The big man's name was (Seorgc, the
other's Augustus.
They pushed through the bushes in
silence for a time, not notu-ing the
young man in the rear, and then the
little man opened the ball :
"I subbose yoj feel lK-ttygood now
days, Meester Illone ?" '
"Don't meester me," growled the
big man, "call me Sdiorge, plain
Khorge."
"I'laiti Shorge, yah ; tain plain you
vere veil you vas courlin' Katrina!
New clothes, new lioots, smelliii' salts
on your hair, shust like von big turkey
cock! Plain Shorgt; bah tain !"
"Thee hadt as fair a show as I," re
turned the (Quaker stiflly.
"Me a fair show? Yat aboudt all
tier lies you told? Toldt her I had
! von vife living yet in th-r old country,
von vife alretty in dis dot I vas "
"I only toldt her tier truth !" thun
dered the (Quaker, turning squarely
upon the other.
"Dor truth?" screamed Augustus.
"iVr truth' You lie!"
With a mighty bound the little fel
low sprang upon the Quaker and clutch
ed him by the throat.
Together they writhed to and fro and
then just as the young man was hast
ening forward an awful howl arose
upon the air, a gun was discharged
under the feet of the combatants, a
dark form rose suddenly from the
I ground lietween them, forcing them
apart as it dashed away and full into
the arms of the young man, who was
thrown to the ground with something
he knew not what in his grasp.
"It's him," yelled the Quaker. "It's
CJarfiel.lt !"
The young man kicked and swore
anil finally succeeded in rolling over
andgetting to his feet, still retaining his
hold on the hapless and frantic Ct ir
field. "What the devil is the matter with
hiiii, anyway?" grumbled the young
man, as the two Dutchmen came up.
"Yy, can't thee see he's a!ni st scairt
himself crazy," said the Quaker.
"Yah, ve know all altoudt it, don't
ve, Meester Illone?" cried the little
Dutchman insultingly.
The big (j biker reached out and
caught the other by the coat collar,
lifted him from the ground and held
him at arm's length.
"( Jus, veil I saidt I told herder truth
I meant vat I said. Veil I tell thee
now dot if thee ever speaks mit me
again I vill break every bone mit thy
body I means dot, too ! Now go !"
And with that he raised him a kick
that sent the unlucky Augustus into a
heap of dead brush, from which he
emerged and slunk away a wiser and a
meeker man.
Then the big Quaker turned to the
trembling boy :
"Vat for vere thee hiding Garfield?"
"I was afraid they'd lick me," blub
bered the boy. He was about 1, with
a vacant expression about his eyes that
bespoke but a weak mind, with a face
illumined now by abject terror.
"Dot's vot I tought. Hut never thee
mindt," he went on kindly; "dey
von't lick thee now."
The others now began to arrive on
the scene, foremost among whom was
the boy's father, a tall, hard-featured
and red-haired farmer. When the
situation was explained to him he
started angrily toward his son.
"Hidin', was ye? he cried; "I'll hide
ye," and he raised a heavy stick above
his head. Now the big Quaker had
not long been a member of that sect
and at times rase superior to his relig
on, which allowed biiu not the priv
ilege of an oath. He stepped between
the father and the son.
"No you don't, bj- tani ! You got
von fool in thy family alretty, hain't
it vy you wane to maKe anoiner oi
thyself?"
The other glared at him savagely,
but there was something in the big
Quaker's solid poise that caused him to
lower his stick aud turn away.
A call was then sounded aud when

all the searchers had arrived the man-h
homeward wait taken up. When they
part til with Hcakin aud bis hoy the
Quaker remark'-d significantly :
"Thee hadt U tter forgit to lick bt
boy, Heckin. If I should hear about it
I might forgot vonce more I was a
Quaker."
The young man scpura'ed from the
others and returned home. As he
opened the d.air and entered the larg?
old fashioned kitchen he was snrpri-M-d
to find the teamster sitting iu sullen
silence by the stove, while Emily was
delivering a homily to the others for
his bcnefiL
"Mrs. Hcakin sez I never knew sich
a trial, and Iji-st told her that if it
was anything worse than when they
fetched Dan'l home I'd like to know
1l Found him layin' dead in a field,
'way in the night, right in the middle
of winter, anil snow on the ground a
foot deep. Trial, tiniphj she don't
know what a trial is. Hev they .ouii-1
his body yit ?"
"Yes," returned the young man "we
found him hiding in the woods. His
father had evidently promised him a
thrashing ami he was afraid to return
home. He's all right."
Emily received the news w ilh a blank
stare of amazement, but the teamster
burst into a loud aud malicious laugh.
"Just like the darned fool," he grow I
cd. "I knew it would turn out that
way. And he laughed again.
Now Emily could not appreciate his
lack of delicacy, but in her own way it
afl'it teil her just the same. Her stupor
of amueiuent and disapxintmc lit de
veloped suddenly hit phenomenal
energy.
"Laughm' at it, are ye?" she scream
ed, and the next instance there was a
cyclone of calico in the airla-aring
toward the teamster.
The stove around which they were
sitting was an old-fashioned wood
stove with the oven on the top and con
siderable space la-tweeii it and the Hoor.
Not I icing in a pisition to jump over
the stove or get around it the teamster
dived under it.
His chair thrown back by the abrupt
and forceful departure tripp-d Emily
up, who fell to the fioor and clutched
frantically at the teamster's legs that
Were just disappearing under the stove.
"Take her oil'," yelled the teamster.
"Laugh again, will ye?1' hissed the
woman.
"For heaven's sake !" cried the young
man, -'get out of that! If that stove
should fall on you it would kill you
both."
"Sarve him right if it did," gasjed
the woman panting for breath, but
hanging fast to the man's heels.
"II 1," yelled the teamster kicking
still more vigorou-Iy and finally re
gaining his HU rty by leaving a p:ir of
socks in Emily's bands. Once on his
feet again he dashed barefooted and
bareheaded out of doors a moment
later the stable d'Hirsshtit with a bang
and the stamping and racket that fol
lowed told plainly that he was taking
his own satisfaction out of the horses.
The other women sprang to Emily's
assistants and heljed her to her feet.
"Where's my hat and shawl?" she
panted.
"Hadn't you Is.-tter sit down a few
moments liefore you start? a -iked the
young man's wife sothii!g1y.
"Not a ininiiit will I stay in this
house or ever come in it agin. I've bin
insulted enough. You can tell that
fool, Dell, that if lie ever conn's in my
reach I'll scald him clear through w ith
billin' water. He don't know shucks
anyway. Wasn't any of his family
ever kiiowed eiiffugh to write their own
names, and Uth his grandfathers died
o' seeing snakes, l'retty thing he is to
set up to laugh at decent people. Won
der if lie laughed when they caught
himstealiii' old Quaker Joe's hands?
The fool ! Come on, Mariar!" And
she strode' out of the house.
"My gracious, she'll leave me," cried
little Mrs. Jagson frantically, gather
ing up her wrais and running after
her.
The young man picket! tip the over
turned chair, fixed the fire and sat
down in silence with his wife. They
w?re incapable of t!;ciising the situa
tion just then.
It was not long U-fore the teamster
returned, strodethrough the room with
out a look in their direction, banged
the stairdoor behind him, and went
again to Ik.iI.
"Shr.il we go to lsl now?" asked
the young man some time later.
"Can we sleep with that going on
overhead?" returned his wife.
The young man listened. The lied
above was squaking and creaking as if
some devil or torment was seeking in
vain for repose. The case was hope
less, they fixed themselves as cozily as
possible in their chairs, took up their
favorite books and prepared to await
the dawn.
Gas Fram Saw last.
The not uninteresting distincton is
claimed for the town of iK-seronto, iu
Canada, where there are several ex
tensive lumber mills, of being partially
lighted by gas made from sawdust. I n
carrying out this plan, as stated, the
sawdust is charged in retorts which are
heated by wood fire, the gas from the
retorts passing into a series of coils,
an 1 thence into the purifiers, which
are similar to those used for coal gas.
Lime is the principal purifying agent
employed, and when it passes out of
the retorts the gas possesses an odor
much less: disagreeable than that of
ordinary lighting gas, and resemble
somewhat that of the smoke frm a
fire of green wood or leaves. The
works in use are small, turning out
daily about nineteen thousand cubic
feet of gas for the production of which
'jjantity some two tons of sawdust are
required, and a man and boy furnish
all the labor that is needed for the
purpose. The ga In- an ordinary
burner gives an illumination of almut
eighteen caudle power and the la-st
quality comes from resinous woods.

A Hog Orchsstra.
During the reign of Louis XL of
France there was attached to his court
Abbot de Haigne, a man of consider
able wit. The nbl;ot was somewhat
musically intrlintsl, and dvlighted the
court with invent ions -of odd musical
iiistrum tiits. Ot.c- risy the King, afur
having enjoyed a hearty laugh over
one of these curious t-Pitii:ii.tts, and
desiring to hatlle this musical genius,
commanded him to produce harmon
ious sounds from the cries of lugs.
This seemed an impossibility to the
king, and he prepared himself to enjoy i
the discomfiture of theabUif. Much
to his surprise, however, the ablxd
readily agreed to produce them. All he
required was a sum of money, upon
the receipt of which he declared he
woui-1 invent the most sttrpt i.-ingthing
ever heard in the way of musical
ntrocity.
He scoured the country and secured
a large mii:iler of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and fin
ally, having fully satisfied himself, he
arranged the animals in a sort of a
pavilion richly decorated. The day of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavillic.n prepared
for something, but greatly in doubt r.s
to the success of the abbot w ith the
hogs.
However, there were the lu gs, suie
enough, and much to the surprise and
delight of the king they commenced tt)
cry harmoniously and in good tunc,
rendering an air that was fairly recog
nized. The abbot had bttangtil a
series of stops that were connected w ith
the hogs, and iqsoti pt;!!ing one t f
them tiut caused a spike to prick the
hog it connected witii, making him
squeal his note. The rest was easy, from
pulling out the different stops lie pro
duced the tune. UmduI l'tM..
Which. "Was Right.
A senator of the I'nited States, a man
who has Ihh-ii in public life for many
years, and who has never lcen regard
ed as of a ha-ty or Itelligerent temper,
sometimes narrates to his friends an
incident that amuses them by its t:u
likeness to anything they would have
expected from him.
He was traveling on a (Jerman rail
way, anil was one of three' persons who
were locked in a small compartment,
which had two windows.
At one of the windows sat the Se n
ator, while at the other sat a big nius
tuched, "warlike" man, apparently
some member of the resident nobility.
The American had his window open,
and was gazing at the landscape and
sniffing the air, when all at once the
man with the soldierly mustache
rose, stepped forward, and without a
word of apology, put down the
window.
The Senator was astonished, of course;
but wdiat could he say? There are some
kinds of insolence which it is hard to
know how to deal with.
However, the Aniercian statesman
rose to the occasion. Instead" of undo
ing what the (Jerman had done, he
stepped to that geullemau's seat aud
put his window up.
Whether this was in all respects a
proper thing to do, is a point as to
which opinions may differ. One thing
is certain; it was now the second man's
turn to be astonished. His mouth re
mained shut, and his window remain
ed open. Waxiiiiffun 'oxf.
