Soaring q Washer.

Talk about pretty girls-but she was
wild-tlower and no mistake! She got
on the train to go over to Meridian from
Vicksburg, and she was all alone.
There was = sort of sidelong movement
among five or six men, but drummer
for a Philadelphia saddlery house got
there first. He grabbed up his grip
and walked square up to her seat and
took possession of it without asking a
question, and in ten minutes he seemed
to be perfectly at home. She answered
his questions briefly, and he had the
hardest kind of work to keep up con-
yersation, and as the train approached
Jackson, she suddenly said:
Il want to telegraph papa from here.
Will you help me?'
ooh, certainly. ! have a blank in
my pocket. Write your telegram and
will run into the office with it.
We missed him when the train start
ed, but by and by he was found in an
other car, his hat crushed down and
his nerves all on edge. When asked
what had happened he drew forth the
telegram which the girl had requested
him to hand in. 1t read:
Bring your shotgun with you to pop
over drummer who has dreadfully
annoyed me. Shoot to KILL
''To think" he gasped, ''that one SO
fair could be SO murderous. Why, Pm
II in sweat; | want some of you to
tand by me-
We got his grip from the seat, traded
hats and coats with him, and the way
he slid from the depot when the train
reached Meridian, caused a hotel porter
to observe:
''Well, now, but that white face be-
longs to an invalid and them legs to q
deer. What sort of a coon can he be?"

The observation of q great writer on
having half dozen bottles of brandy

we'll known. "This." he said, with
complacency, sis true fame" For my
part, as is only in accordance with the
rules of proportion. l have had to be
content with much inferior liquor

fervescent, no doubt, but while it lasts
is refreshing enough. l once lost q
Persian cat, which q had almost writ
ten "who'') was very dear to me, and
went to suburban police office for
professional advice as to handbills and
rewards. ''What is your name, sirp"
inquired the intelligent inspector. Qt
is cynically observed that inspectors
are always called in the newspapers
Intelligent, but this one, as will be
seen, fully deserved the title.) as my
business was lawful one, I, of course,
gave him no alias. 'James Payn?"
he echoed. 'Are you the story-tellerP"
l modestly murmured that I was.
Then tell you what" he said, in a
tone in which generosity and gratitude
were finely blended, 'you are out of
my district, but I'll take the case"
And he took it. That was my brandy.
