SOLVING A nnI1RT.

SOLVING DOUBT.
Any doubt that may have possessed
me regarding the double-headed
child reported to have been born,
three weeks ago, in Morrow County,
began to lose ground and disappear,
mist-Hke, in the light of evidence
which came to me at once from many
varacious mouths, this morning,
when 1 found myself awake to in
quiry, in Cardington. Indeed, the
people seemed to have grown a little
used to the marvellous thing, had
rubbed their eyes fairly and made up
their minds to tit was no dream
after all.
Seeing is believing" however, as
the proverb runs, and l had come to
see. Therefore, in company with
gentleman who courteously volun-
teered to be my guide, l drove
across the country about thirteen
miles, into Bennington Township,
close to the southwest line of the
county, where a neat, new, white
frame house, near our road, was de-
signated, as we approached it, to be
the home of Joseph Finley, father
of the wonderful birth. There was
an out ofdoor look of thrift about
the place; the lands seemed we'll
fenced and clean, while, a hundred
yards behind the present dwelling
stood an older one, which, unless one
had q little ambition and enterprise,
must have seemed sufficient for a few
years longer cheerful residence. Put
ting these things together I was pre-
pared to enter a neat, comfortably
furnished and well-kept family-room,
in which two or three women were
sitting, and two or three bright, heal
thy, black-eyed little girls were play
ing. A cradle in the corner of this
room did not escape my first glance,
nor did the slight twitching of the
wrapping at one end, from which
faint treble crying was heard to
arise.
We took our seats. Mr.. Finley
was temporarily absent from home.
Mrs. Finley was in an adjoining
apartment-she would appear pres
emily. Meanwhile 1 saw that at
either end of the small cradle were a
little pink face and head, one ofwhich
was in motion, its owner awake; the
other quiet and still in sleep. Now
perhaps, my imagination was a little
| timid about looking under the cover
to find out whether -

with something sweet and kindly in
her voice and in her dark eyes, and
with something attractive in her
quiet and self-possessed movements
and manners.
My companion stated the object
of my visit, and I told Mrs. Finley
that the reports in the newspapers

expect to make some fifteen or six
teen dollars, a day
Mr.. Pendletion of course referred
to his wager.
I st strikes me, said his wife, you
are rather sanguine. But one hun
dred dollars a day would not pay
you for making such an exhibition
of YOURSELF
Let them laugh said her husband,
philosophically, 1 can bear it.
But l can't. At least, out of re-
gard for me-for your children

4 really cannot
The speaker was at this moment
arrested by a customer, and his wife
withdrew in despair.
What successY inquired Mrs.
Hudson, eagerly.
L don't know what's come over
him., said Mrs. Pendleton, shaking
her head mournfully. He seems in
fatuated.'
'Whatreason does he give for his
courseP
He says it is light, healthy en-
.ployment, and will yield him sixteen
dollars day
'AhemP coughed Mrs. Goddard

Yes said Mrs. Pendleton; his
.urcle's second wife.
Mrs. Goddard instantly looked
very grave.
DO you-do you think my hus-
bands mind is affectedY asked Mrs.
PendletOn, anxiously.
4 certainly do was the answer.
oh dear! what shall 1 do?'
Have him placed under treatment
the sooner the better.
1T is the only chance for his recov-
cry. He will be doing something
even more extravagant if you DON'T
1t did not take long to convince
Mrs. Pendleton, more especially as
she was tempted to grasp at any
thing that would put a stop to this
freak of her husbands. At dinner
she took care to say. nothing of his
new business, lest he might suspect
something; but as, he passed out in
to the street, he was seized by two
men, who roughly informed him that
he must get into a carriage ard go
with them.
"What means this outraged" said
Pendleton, with flashing eyes.
"You shall answer for this"
"We are acting under directions,
sir"
"Under whose direetions?"
"Your wife's and the Doctors"
what does this mean? What do
you take me for?"
One of the men significantly tap
ped his forehead.
"Jest so. You'd better comeRith
US without any disturbance"
Hold, villains; what proof have
have you of your specious charger
