what what is that?" roared the old
man. Il never heard of such a message
AS thatlr
Il can't help it," replied Jackson
''you asked me to read the Presidents

went on:

How he Voted.

At tho November election oil
1861, farmer from w town.
ship, came to town early in the
morning for the purpose of voting.
His wife wanted some pepper
and salt. And accordingly, John,
whose memory was treach erous,
made a memorandum of the ar
ticles on a slip of paper, which he
put in his vest pocket. In town
he procured ticket, folded it, and
put it in his vest pocket with the
memorandum.
John voted, and returning home
his wife asked him
"Why, John, where is the pepper
and salt r.
"Well," said John, "I'm sure l
writ them down" Reaching into
his vest pocket he discovered his
mistake. and without any more
words John was off for town again,
but he could hear his devoted wife
calling that it did not matter now.
Arriving in town he proceeded
at once to the polls to vote his
ticket, when the clerk informed
him that he had voted.
NO." says John 81 haven't"
"Your name sir, is down as hav-
ing voted"
"Yes, says John telling how he
mistook the memorandum for the
ticket 81 wanted to vote for Nc
Clellan, and I voted for pepper and
salt"
The clerk and those around were
convulsed with laughter. After a
brief discussion the Judge decided
that, having voted once, John could
not vote again.
The last words John was heard
to utter on leaving the polls, were,
"confound the pepper and salt"

"Not quite so fast, my fine fel

drawing a revolver from his breast
, where he had been for some tim
holding his hand, anticipating, per
haps, such movement.
There were two volleys fred 81

CHAPTER V.

The next day great excitement
prevailed over the announcement
of the murder of Judge Benton by
Max Harold. The police and sher-
ifs were put upon the track, and
the hunt kept up for several days,
but without avail.
All efforts at Harold's capture
proving fruitless, the excitement
had to some extent died away, and
the police, disheartened, returned
to their respective homes.
Henry Hetherington, the fore
man of the jury, sat alone in his
room one evening, or rather early
one morning, for be was q bachelor.
and not given to early retiring
He had just laid down a newspa-
per, in which he had been reading
the Summary of crime for the
month ending" With feeling
of dread he saw the name of Judge
Benton among the list of murder
ed, and sort of superstitious dread
come over him, lest he should meet
like fate.
Just at that moment rap sound
ed through the hall, and, going to
to the door himself, he saw an old
man, apparently in search Of aims.
Asking him into the house by the
fire, for the night was quite chilly,
he recognized in his visitor, none
other thon Max Harold.
"Why do you come here, Max
Harold, at this nour of the night 7"
"You know me, then, do you =
Can you not guess for what por-
pose l come :"
IL know you are o desperate
man, Max Harold, but you will
find your match IL you modest me-"
"Ha, hal Do you suppose, when
my revenge is SO nearly complete,
I shall stop nowl Oh, no, not un-
Ill your life, too, is forfeited, will
my revenge be complete, and my
hatred Of you for twenty years be

He seemed to be quite an old man
but his looks might have belied hin
to great extent. Up one street
and down another he went, as il
looking for some one. At the bot
tom of the steps leading to the door
of a fiue mansion he stopped, and
sitting down on the bottom step,
thus soliloquized:
"0h, the long, weary years which

Turning around upon rising, he
saw the name Of "Judge Benton"
on the plate above his head. "Ah,

Judge Benton, your time has come"
, Proceeding up the steps, he rang
the bell, and inquired Of black
servant who answered his ring, If
Judge Benton was at home. Re-
ceiving the reply that he was, he ,
was shown into the judges private '
room, and, removing his hat, sat
down. (
The judge soon entered the room, $
and asked his visitor the nature of s
his business with him. The old =,
man arose, and, going up to the i
judge, said: q
