Perhaps / am a little hasty, a
little too ready to light up at a min
ute's notice, but there are some
words that seem to me to carry an
especial grain Of gunpowder in
them, and the above is one OF the
sort. To have a person, after you've
been through a long explanation,
put his fingers to his mental ears,
and query you thus, or, worse still
"HaowP is too exasperating for
human nature to bear. But that
is what John Stringer did to me.
bending his head a little nearer, and
speaking in an absent, aggravating
manner that tantalized me beyond
words. etfo
You see, John Stringer and [
were engaged; we'd been engaged
for long time, and perhaps had
got to be little too matter o. course
to each other.
We were sitting there over the
fire, after the old folks had gone to
bed, and | fell to telling him about
Sophie Mills wedding-her white
silk dress, her bride-cake and her
bridesmaids frosted all over to match
it, and | ended this way:
"Butit don't make any differ.
ence, John, to people that love each
other; all that's o no more account
than last years snow-drift. They
could be married in calico and
homespun, with their feet on a rag
god carpet like this, and love each
other just as we'll"
"How?" said John, absently. He
was watching the Goals flicker up
and die out again, and picking up
a stray chip now and then to fling
on the embers-a fashion he had
when he was thinking.
NOW l had had the headache all
day, and ! guess | was rather more
than usual, though l didn't
think SO then; but when John bent
his great broad shoulders over, as
if he hadn't heard a word | said.
and, in fact, had something better
to occupy his mind, | Just fired up
first, and then the blaze died down
iuto sulks, and when we parted
chat night John and | had our first
and last quarrel.
My heart did not misgive me
that night, when saw Johns tall
figure going out the door, it was
the last time he'd lift the latch for
many a year; but so it was. y JV0
You see, | held my head pretty high |
in those days, and l wouldn't show
that | was a bit cut up about it; SO
| paired off with Mrs. Plummer's
Jesse, a likely, spruce young fellow
enough, but no more to be COM
pared to John than a cockleshell is
10 . brigantine, !

of the road. Then l smoothed nv
hair and washed my face, and went
down. The time Of settlement had
come, | knew.
Mary Ann" said John. gravely.
" the lawyer will be here presently:
but reckon we can make it all clear
IN our own minds without his help.
And I've settled it, in fact, that
there are certain conditions on
which I'll take the land = if YOU
agree"
Then l flew into a passion.
" You've been long enough making
up your mind" says 1. "I don't
throw my land at anybody's feet,
and | haven't asked any favors of
you, leastways, John Stringer."
Softly, there, softIyl" says
John, putting out his hand. "Don't
be in hurry, little woman"
/" John Stringer," says |, all in a
heat, "you're just the same man
you was years ago, when YOU
thought l was always firing up
every time you got out O temper
yourself"
And weren't you, little wo-
n mani" said john, quite gravely.
{" Don't women folks always like
their own way better than anything
eIse?"
You don't know anything about
women," | cried, "any more than
you did then. You thought | wanted
silks and furbelows more than
than"
ethan you did me-" said John;
and right enough you was, too, if
you would have got 'em. l always
said so, Mary Ann"
Any man with half an eve
would have known BETTER" says |,

How Two Condemned Men Were
at saved.
Atlanta Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
On the 11th of last February,
Mr.. Rozier, a merchant of Sparta,
was killed on one Of the principal
streets of the city, at about 1880
O'Clock, and robbed. The case Gre
ated great excitement, and force
of detectives was at once put to
work. A negro was first arrested
as being the murderer. and came
very near being convicted. The
tacks in his shoe-heel fitted precise
ly in a semi-circle of indentations
made in the lantern that the dead
man had carried and that had been
kicked out of his hand and tram
pied upon. He established an alibi,
however, and was then cleared.
Then two prominent citizens, the
marshal of the city being one, were
arrested and put upon trial. By a
long and skillful chain of eircum-
stantial evidence they were convic-
ted Of murder and sentenced. An
appeal was made to the Supreme
Court, but the judgment was
affirmed.
AT this juncture Detective Muir
ply, who had all the time believed
in their innocence, turned up with
a prisoner, who had been connected
with Howe's London circus. He
had followed them through Can
ada, and finally picked him up in
Cleveland, Ohio. He proves, by
the most conclusive testimony, that
Lhe murder was committed by two
of the circus. His pris-
oner makes full confession, and |
,ells the whole story, including the
letails Of the plot. Rozier was
lilled by being struck on the head
With a sand-bag. His skull was
rushed in, but the skin of his scalp
vas not broken. While en- route
rom Atlanta to Sparta, with the
prisoner, he escaped, but Mr.. Muir
,hy recaptured him the next day.
treat excitement prevails over the
lew development, by which the
wo condemned men will be saved.
