Zedekiah is Frightened.


Zedekiah is Frightened.
If you could have seen the pale, terror
wrought face of Zedekiah when the Incl
dent happened, you would appreciate the
story. Zedekiah Allard lived over in Albany
in New Hampshire. His cousin, Peter, had
been for several years in business in Boston,
and had become quite gentleman in the
way of fashion and knowledge Of the world.
One summer Peter paid visit to the home
Of his youth; but he could not put up with
the poor Accommodations of the backwoods
of Albany, so he sought quarters in theIad-
joining town of Conaway, with mine host
of the Conaway House, said host at that
time being Jonathan Dow; and while there
he invited his cousin ZedelSiah to call and
see him.
Zed. came, and was astonished. He had
never been in big hotel before. The gaudy
carpets;'the spacious halls; the staring mir
rors, and the bright pictures bewildered
him. He went up into Peters private
room, where he gave vent to his wonder.
"Crotch all broomsticks!' he exclaimed
'it is the tarnalest place ever did see
l should think you would be hambuster-
fecated in such a tangle of gegaws.'

'Sartain will. Where u we git it?'

Just you pull that cord that hangs by
your elbow
Zed. reached for the bell-cord and gave
it a smart pull, and at that instant the gong
sounded for dinner -Whir-r-r-rang-
crash-bang-b -bang--bang The din was
penetrating to every corner of
the big house and shakeing the very walls.
Zedekiah leapeb to his feet, pale and quiv-
ering.

rope for ? o, Pete Pete What is itP'
Just then Mr.. Dow opened the door, and
looked in, asking rather hurrdly'

Dow, in perplexity, turned to Peter and
