A New Way to Retain Subscribers.

An indignant subscriber to New
Jersey paper went into the office few
days ago and ordered his paper stopped,
because he differed with the editor in
his views of subsoiling fence-rails. The
editor conceded the mans right to stop
his paper, and remarked, coolly, as he
looked over his list:
'Do you know Jim Sowders, down
at Hardscrabble?
every we'll :" said the man.
"Well, he stopped his paper last week
because / thought a farmer was q
blamed fool who didn't know that tim
othy was good thing to graft OH hue
kleberry bushes, and he died in less
than four hours"
Lord is that SOP" said the aston
ished Granger.
Eyes; and you know old George
Erickson, down on Eagle Creek!"
"Well, I've heard of him."
"Well," said the editor, gravely, she
stopped his paper because said he was
the happy father of twins, and con-
graduated him on his success so late in
life. He fell dead within twenty min
utes. There's lots Of similar cases, bu'

She did not reply to this, but, sweep
ing the deck with her eyes, said quickly !:

"No, on the contrary, am poor"
''What could you do with a thousand
dollars 2" she asked.
The note had found came into my
my mind like flash, and for a moment
l could not speak. Was the girl going
to offer me money to take human life
As l did not answer at once, she re-
Peated the question, and said:
81 could do good deal with thou
sand dollars, but refuse
The girl gave suspicious glance
over the deck, and, turning, saw two
black eyes glaring at me. and the next
moment the tall, black-whiskered COM
panion of the girl strobe toward us.
What do you here:" he said sharp
ly, looking at me.
Nothing" replied, "only looking
at the sea. Who are you?"
II am the guardian of this GIRL" he
thundered, "and don't dare speak to her
again"
And here is where he threatened to
kick me into the sea.
l left the deck at once, more perplex-
ed that ever, and saw neither the man
nor the woman again that day or the
next. and then we landed.
At the wharf | met reporter of one
of the city papers, and l showed him
the note without hesitation, and no
smiled and said:
81 understand it. Come with me-"
Half an hour later we entered a yard
which led to low, rambling house, on
the veranda of which was a man of
great age. His hair was perfectly white
likewise his beard, and his form was
bent and tottering.
"What is 2" said the old man rs we
halted before him.
"a note from your granddaughter"
answered my friend, the reporter.
"What does she say:"
''She offers Jean La Rus, the murder
er, 81 600 to kill Vasquez, the renown-
ed robber."
"Poor girl,' sighed the old man, II
fear she is as crazy as ever. Ny son, I
suppose, is bringing her homer"
"1es," and then turning to me the
reporter said: ''You do not understand
this, so l will tell you the story.
This young girl is crazy; she has
been in the asylum at Stockton for over
a year. To begin with she had lover,
a fine young man, who met his death
eighteen months ago at the hands of
Nasquez, the robber. A former lover
of the girl hired the outlaw TO commit
the deed, and when il was known that

did not wish TO meet them, so, TAX
ing my friend by the arm, we took by
path 10 the road.
For several weeks following heard
nothing of the case, when one morning
my friend, the journalist, told me that
the beautiful but unfortunate girl Mar
guret was dead.
She had bribed a Mexican attendant
to bring her tarantula, and placing
the enormous spider on her arm, like
Cleopatra of old, deliberately left the
world.
