Thirty Pieces of Silver
The Klght Adventure la the Highway
Br LmIm Betu Edward
V
TYO travelers In sober npparcl, and
ri ,li ii ht sleek, well-fed nags, were
the only wayfarers on the road, ns far
as the eye could reach. Without them,
the weird loneliness of the November
landscape, would have missed its last
touch of desolation; for tbe dripping,
grajr-green sedges, intersected with
sulky little streams, and ditches,
which looked like faded grogram rib
bons with frayed edges, the sodden
road w ith its deep rut.s forming brown-ith-graj
pools, and the leaden-gray
sky, against which the leafless branch
es of the one pollard willow were ex
tended as though imploring respite
from further rain all blended them
selves into a somber background that
was wholly harmonious.
Only ns the two horses, heavy with
mud, laboriously climbed the steep. slii
perj hill, did the entrance of human
beings bring the element of unrest into
the scene.
"You climb Cautiously, sir," observed
the younger to the elder man, with a
slight smile. Their difference in age
could be but that of a year or two.
The older traveler, a clean-shaven.
firm-jawed man, of unniistakablv
Scotch physiognomy, replied calmly:
"I am nfraid."
The other his. name was Fitzroy
Suddenly reined In bit horse, llisconi
panion answered the amazed question
in 1, is eyes.
"Of falling have a care, sir, or you
will do it yourself, The mud laallppery;
j my horae carries a heavy load, ujkI I
; have no mind for riding into town wdth
torn cloak or bespattered person."
"You are wise, air," said Fitzrny,
"The merciful man is merciful to his
beast, lils person and his garments.
It hath been long years since I valued
any of these, and, therefore, itsyou per-
ceive," noticing the oilier man's scru-
tiy, "I hiivo had many a fall in the
i mire."
I "Tut! As to that, we are both miry
"Tis these pestiferous roads after the
rains. The stable-bovs at the Golden
i tioblet shall icrapc ol? some of it, when
1 wo have dined."
Again FitBTOy's horse renrcd back
i sharply, and again amazement stared
from Ids eyes. "The Golden Goblet?
1 You are bound to dine there? Then
j our ways part, sir; though I nm loth to
! leave plea&ant company,"
! "Hut how now'." In astonishment
1 equally blank. "Where else should we
dine, save at the inn? Tardon me, sir;
but your behavior is certainly moat
strange."
A dull red had risen in Fitzroy's
checks. lie gazed at the ground with
out answer.
"If 'tis a matter of money " began
the other. In nn altered tone.
"Ay, sir; yon have touched the point.
Poverty is not a vice, is it ? or it could
not ao readily shame us. M y pockels
are empty, and I have counted on the
charity of Rome good cottage creature
for a cup of milk and some bread nnd
cheese."
"Pray le my guest at the Inn," said
the other man, with formal civility. He
Was apparently as cautious of over
demonstration toward a chance ac
quaintance as of ollmblngsllppery hills,
but waxed more insistent at Fitzroy's
violent demur; "But wherefore not?
"Sir, you are most kind. But I would
go with an empty stomach rather than
dine nt the Golden Goblet. I have an
undent grudge"
"Hut I thought," cried his fellow
traveler, "you were strange in these
parts? You said as much w hen we fell
in with each other this morning, and
you prayed me to point vou the road to
Durham."
"Itnt doth 8 road run.one way only?"
Fitzroy asked, a sudden sparkle of
mirth In his eyes, ns quickly extin
guished. "As I remember the Golden
Goblet, it stands at a crossing, nnd some
approach it from the east, some from
the west. Xay, sir I have not yet
learned your name. I cannot nnd w ill
not enter that, inn, and it Is spending
breath to ask ma wherefore. Perchance
the landlord hath cheated me or I have
cheated the landlord; perchance I hap
pened to kiss the barmaid. Sir, I am
sorry, but I will not go. I see n cottage
in the distance; I am confident the good
dame there will give us food, and even
a night's lodging."
"Why, how know you that there
Is a dame, nnd that her hospitality isSO
free?"
"I do not know," said Fitzroy, with a
slight contraction of the brows. "lean
clearly see, however, you fear to trust,
yourself in the company of n man who
acknowledges himself penniless, even
though" with a faintly contemptu
ous glnnce nt the other man's holsters
"you carry arms and he does not.
You are right, sir; the country is lone
ly, there are rumors of highwaymen,
and you never saw me before this
morning. Iet. US part ways you to
your Inn, nnd I to my good dame, or
master, or whomever 1 may find. Good
' day, sir."
Good Duncan McDnugall, kirk officer
1 of Ballantyne Parish, and canniest of
S-ots, thoughtfully watched him spur
his horse up another of the steep,
muddy little hills, with the stumbling
haste of an angry schoolboy. Society
on the road was pleasant but per
chance a dangerous pleasure, when you
know not w ith whom you were riding,
nnd when your snddle-bags held forty
pounds Scots, In good gold, to buy n
set of communion silver for the Unllan
tyre kirk. He had n trust, a reputa
tion, a life to guard. Yet "Tush! could
the fellow blush like Kitty herself, and
yet harbor evil designs?"
At a rude table in the little hovel up
the road Fitzroy sat glowering over the
extremely frugal fare brought him by
1 aa old woman, gar!eJ of face and
kno'trd of figure, to whoae cackle he
paid no attention. "I've naught ia my
purse to pay for this," he flung out
finally ; "nor In ray'saddle-bags, either."
The woman chuckled without glee.
"Yet there w a.s a gentleman came part
way with you," she observed. "Look!
lie climbs the hill now."
"And he travels armed," said Fitzroy,
moodily. "My pistol dropped yester
day from a broken holster while I forded
a stream. How do I know he carries
aught worth killing a man for?"
"By his traveling armed," concliely.
"Tut, Mr. Fitzroy! do you conceive, air,
t hut because luck has hitherto been
with vou in sending you cowards and
Unarmed travelers, who would willing
ly give up their purses to save their
skins, it w ill be so always? Truly, sir,
you speak like "
"A coward," said Fitzroy. "I nm not
one, but" his face clearing a little
"he who conies hither is a coward, and
I may get off without bloodshed. In
faith, 1 w as born a gentleman, and even
in battle, where a man may kill and not
hang for it, there would alwayscome an
uneasy voice between me and my sword,
that would sound like a cry of re
proach from my mother or sister. Yet I
have not seen either of them since I was
a lad of twenty. How, now, sir!"start
ing up ns the Bhadow of a man fell
across the doorway. "You have
changed your mind?"
"I tome to crave your pardon, sir,"
said Duncan McDougall. gravely. "And
to eat supper with you, if this good
woman hath aught to give us. Pardon
my suspicions, and give me your com
pany for the rest of the rond, for, in
truth. I am ufruid of its loneliness."
He stood up rigidly, while Fitzroy
opened his eyes in unfeigned surprise,
and loudly recited a long Presbytcrlun
grace, before he would take the seat in
dicated for him.
"A man of religion!" exclaimed Fitz
roy. Be had not intended to say it
nloud; but the performance of so dis
tinctly devotional an act in the pres
ence of u stranger was ns nstouuding to
him us it was unremarkable to the
Beotsman, who complacently replied.
his mouth full of bread and cheese:
"Officer of Ballantyne kirk, and a
man of peace toward ull."
"Yet you travel armed." euggested
Fitzroy, doubtfully.
"A commendable means of securing
pence, is it. not, sir? I hear over-much
of these so-enlled 'gentlemen of the
road.' who kill a mini In haste am! dis
cover his poverty at leisure, to have a
mind to ride unprotected when I am
traveling alone."
"Have you ever heard," asked Fitz
roy, carelessly, "of one they call 'the
Irish Paddy,' who hath been making
himself somewhat officious In these
Mirta?" The Scotsman shook his head.
The slow-creeping twilight hid the
slow-Creeping red in Fitzroy's face, as
he said, lightly:
"Oh, well, these gentry practice for
gain, rnther than fame, ao 'tis not sur
prising you should not have heard of 1
him yet. Besides, he hnt.h so far kept
his hands clean of blood, they say,
which snves a mnn n denl of notice.
Hut may I nsk, sir, why 'tis you nppenr
to grudge these poor fellows the name
of gentleman, trf which many of them,
by birth nt least, are entitled?"
"Becniisc" the speaker's utterance
was slill rendered indistinct by vigor
ous mastication, while Fitzroy sat and
unhappily eyed his food "being, by
birth at least, personally disqualified
for that title, I, an honest mnn. be
grudge It to a set of cowardly thieves.
Twas a long time since most of thern
w ere born, and I hold that their patent
of gentility hath expired. After all. 'tis
but a bit of Judas-work, betraying
their harmless fellows for a. few filthy
coins. Pafil I nm a farmer nnd work,
In the dirt nil day. but I would not
touch such money."
"Hold, sir!" said Fitzroy, Impetuous
ly, while the old woman frowned In the
background. "You are harsh, me
thinks. I, too, am honest, yet I have the
poor man's sympathy for him who
feels the world owes him a living and
the right to collect it."
"And I," disputed McDougall, "have
the poor mnn's sympathy for those
who, having by hard labor collected it,
desire to keep it. Tis natural, is It
not?"
"You argue well, sir; yet. there is
something to say for highwaymen
sometimes. Take the case of him I
jnst spoke of, the Irishman they call
'Paddy of the Beads.' Tis not a man I
admire, nor would I willingly stand In
his shoes; yet 'tis said that he was a
fine, gallant lad ten years since, ruined
lit cards by n cheating gamester colonel
whom he could not denounce "
"Why." said tbe Scotsman, "that I
call cowardice."
"What mean you, sir! What dare
you?" Fitzroy's hand was where sol
diers carry their swords, ne had
sprung to his feet nnd his voice echoed
indignantly to the low rafters. "I will
not tut, what a vile temper I am In,
for that I cm crossed in a friendly ar
gument! Fnrdon me. sir; nnd laugh at
my heat ns much ns you wish."
But It was not laughter that looked
out in the steadfast gaze of McDou
gall, who had laid down his knife and
fork. The two men were alone, the
woman having slipped out.to fodder the
horses. In sickening anxiety Fitzroy
awalted the next speech, whose slow,
unchnnged tones brought the breath
back to his quivering body:
"I. myself, may wax hot In putting
the other case that of the honestwny-
farlng man of trade or toil. I, for In- I
stance, of course, carry naught worth
taking."
"Of course not," agreed Fitzroy,
craftily, the traveler's previous words
yet ringing In his ears: "My horse car
ries a heavy load."
"Yet. were It but 30 shillings, or but
one shilling, or but sixpence, I would
not deliver it up for thirty blunder
buses in my face. Folly it may be T
claim not that it is courage, yet 'tii the
British nntare that I have. Who took
It moat take my life and life is swecf
to me. You eat nothing, air."
? "lis this cursed choking bread,"
said Fitzroy, breathing heavily. "Here,
woman, have you no more milk?"
"Xay.slr" tbeoronehnd reappeared;
"not a drop more. My cow is gone dry."
"1 have plenty in my dish," inter
posed McDougnlL "Nay. man, dip In.
dip In! We farmers stick not at fine
table civilities."
A certain somber determination in
his piercing eye compelled Fitzroy to
obey reluctantly. Then he did not eat
the bread.
"You have not asked me, why life ia
sweet," Raid the Scotsman. "Surely a
happy ma:i should be an object of curi
osity! S'ince you ask not, I will tell you
of mine own accord. I am passably
young, I have henJth and strength, I
have land enough to wring a living
from, and in December I am to marry
the sweetest girl in all Scotland. It
U much to live for, is Tt not, sir?" with
eyes riveted on Fitzroy's.
"Gentlemen." interrupted their sinister-faced
hostess, "am I bid to make
up beds here? Or do you purpose to
take the road?"
McDougall hesitated. "First show me
how my horse is lodged," he said to the
old dame. Scarce had they disappeared
together Into the dusky doorway of the
dilapidated outhouse before the wom
an sped eagerly back to Fitzroy.
"Quick," she whispered, pulling him
into the house. "Here" producing a
pistol from a cupboard" 'tis his; I cut
it from his holster whilst you supped.
You need not fear him now. Tis a
coward, anyway."
" TIs a brave man!" flashed Fitzroy.
"Yet if he sleeps here I need not. . . .
Woman, he fed me from his own dish.
And lie would have dined me ut the
Golden Goblet, had I dared to show my
self there."
"He hath reckoned for the supper
already," grinned the crone. "I sped
back to tell you where he carries his
money."
"in his snddle-4mgs?"
"N'ay, 'tis in a little buckskin bag
within his cont. It clinks most amaz
ing heavy, nor would he pull the string.
'After all, 'tis a trust and must not be
touched,' he said, and paid me with a
shilling from another pocket. Why
hang you back, sir?"
A sudden sound smote the highway
man s ears before he could nuswer--
the sound of swifthoofs splashing on
w et rond. Breaking to the door he saw
a horse and rider making furious haste
His prey had escaped him.
"Quick, fool, my horse!" he cried
flinging himself frantically across the
beast when she brought it. nnd extend
ing, instead of good-by. a hasty hand
for the purloined pistol. He could
scarcely account for his change of
mood. Chagrin at being outwitted,
fear of remaining as tame sport for the
old woman's gibes, pricked him on.
nia fresher horse quickly outran the
traveler's more jaded one, which, ntthe
sound of a shot from behind, threw his
wounded rider In the thick mud
and galloped on. mad with terror.
In the one instant of Fitzroy's dis
mounting the hurt man struggled to his
feet, "Come on, air," he said, with
ghnstly composure, "You have not yet
dipped your hands in my blood. You
dipped them lastin my dish you
wretched betrayer coward!" As he

ered In thenir, preceding a deadly still

"Why need he shriek that?" muttered
Fitzroy. " Tis stran -: . In faith, I
would his Kitty had him, and I the

Kecallcd to the need for haste, he
knelt down and fumbled for the bag.
opened it,and then laughed loudly and
hoarsely. "Shillings! One, two" he
counted thirty, and his hands shook.
He wished mightily it had been any
other number, even a lesser; and could
not have sworn that the pale, dead,
scornful lips beside him did not repeat:
"Tis a bit of Judas-work. In the
bag lay a letter, w hose address:

sense of familiarity:

Thirty piece of sliver, flung in as
many different directiona, splashed Into
the little roadside ditches. "I have be
trayed the Innocent blood!" cried Fitz
roy. Bis face was nshen. He peered with
eyes of horror at the still thing at his
feet. "A bad business!" he muttered.
"Brother-in-law,. I could wish you a
better part in the play than that of my
first victim."
He heard horse-hoofs nnd trembled
like an nspen. Hastily wiping his fin
gers in the moist, grnss, he mounted bis
horse nnd rode off. with savage spurs in
his sides.
The hoofs followed then abruptly
stopped where the wounded man had
laboriously risen on one elbow, watch
ing the highwayman's fleeing figure.
At a familiar neigh he smiled grimly
and painfully, first glancing at the un
touched panniers of the Dallnntyne
kirk's good gold, which lay on the
fnithful creature's back, then at the
muddy coins scattered round him. His
stunned senses rallied slowly.
"Kitty'll never cry for her coins." he
said, feebly. "Gin I live to come back.
Ay, I'll live. Were I no better kirk
officer than yon poor craven makes
of a highwayman, 'twould go ill! Why
called he me 'brother?' "
And Fitzroy, speeding frantically on
into the dusk, scourged by visions of a
Last Judgment when he should stand
with Cain and Judas, looked not back
to tell hlrn. Saturday Evening Post

CALM ADVICE IN RAINSTORM.
The Toll llan Tells the Mltlr One V. ha
Hani Into Hint to Hold Ilia
Head Up.
It wna the day that it rained so hard
and snowed a little to help out, the tia;
that tho big steamer foundered oppo
site the Auditorium and half u dozen
other vessels ere in distress along the
luke shore. lie wind and rain swept
through t!.e HtreetS In blinding gust
and ererj pi dmtrlan plowed along with
head bent lo escape the wind, umbrella
firmly clutched to avoid its destruction
and deep disgust for everybody and
everything written on his averted conn
tenuuee, says the Chicago Chronicle.
One little man was wrestling with
wind and weather In u desperate sor
of way as ho forced his course along
Fifth avenue. His head wns down so
low that he could Bee nothing except
the paving blocks, and still the shifting
wind carried the rain into his face at
times. At Washington street he es
sayed to cross the street, and in doing
so ran directly into a tall man who wa
trying to get along with his head in the
air. The tall man doubled up for nn in
Stast, but he did not get innd. Insteac
of saying harsh and profane things tc
the man who had thus buffeted him he
said:
"Hold your head up." Then he strode
on.
The man who received this piece of
advice did not for a moment or two
renlize what bad been said. He stood
still, and when It dawned upon him that
a perfect stranger had volunteered n
rule of conduct to be followed on 11
stormy day he turned with a frown nnd
a retort on, his lips. But the tall man
was fur away nnd the little fellow
bowed his head and once more plunged
Into the Btorm.
PUDDING MADE OF CEMENT.

Their Deaert.
Some time iigo writes n volunteer in
the London Telegrnph, I spent a week
with a garrison battery In a south coast
fort. On the last day the sergeants sat
down to an exceptionally fine dinner.
the crowning glory of which was a
large plum pudding. I had made the
pudding two days before, had it boiled.
und now, reheated, it made its appear
ance, amid the welcome shouts of mv
brother warriors, and I naturally felt
a bit proud of it, for I hadn't been 0

"Seems mighty hard," remarked th.
sergeant major, as he vainly tried to
stick his fork into it. "Have you boiled
us a cannon ball, Browncy V"
"Or the regimental football?" asked
another.
"Where did you get the Hour from?"
questioned Sergt. Smith.
"Where from?" 1 retorted. "From
store No. 5, of course."
"The deuce you did!" roared the
quartermaster sergeant. "Then, hang
you, you've made the pudding with
Portlnnd cement."
And so it proved. That pudding is
now preserved in the battery museum
Some Knsllali KmlKrants.
Up till now, if the inhabitant ol a
Norfolk village emigrates, it is gen
erally, to America, says a writer in
Longman's Magazine, and very often he
does not like America when he eels
there. I remember n blacksmith with
whom I was well acquainted going
there, but in n couple of years or s.1 he
was to be seen working nt the old forge
in his native village. I asked him why
he had come back, and he told me that
he earned plenty of money oat there,
but he "didn't like it." When I was in
New York a tailor came to see me who
had been an apprentice hero in Ilungay.
He told me the same story. 1'Icnty of
money, especially at times, but he
"meant tc get back as soon as he could."
Also I had a conversation with an Eng
lish coachman whose tale was much
the same. 11 is wages were large, but
"there weren't no society for such aa
nim;" in the states they were all "gent
r niggers."
