For THE ARKANsAw TRAvKLER.
 A TALE OF TO-DAY.
BY TOM P. MORGAN.

The cannon ball" fast mail was rushing along at almost lightning speed. The engineer, from his seat on the right hand side ot the cab, bent his eagle eye up the long shining track to where the glittering rails seemed to meet the sky. The fireman, black and grimy, ever and anon replenished the glowing fire. The engine, like some huge monster, dashed along, occasionally uttering unearthly screams as wagon roads were passed or bridges crossed. The clouds of smoke and steam trailed back over the tops of the cars, each filled with its precious load of joyous, happy human beings. Miles were traversed, and station after station was passed. Just as the train rounded a curve, and was about to enter large town, the engineers bronzed cheek grew as white as the hue of death. There, in the center of the track, less than half train length ahead, stood young woman who seemed to the startled eyes of the en- gineer, Ike vision of an angel, with her white hands clasped and her long fair hair streaming in the wind like halo of light. The whistle gave an unearthly yell, and fully understanding its mean ing, the brakemen flew to the brakes. Se;z;ag the bar, the engineer instantly reversed the engine and applied the steam-brakes. Quickly they acted, but all too late. The pilot struck the woman, the ponderous mass of iron passed

Written for THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER,
 THE EVASIVE ANSWER.
BY ALEX. E. SWEET,

"Did you ever observe" said Colonel Gilhooly, "how difficult it is to get a straightforward answer, plain yes or no, from people generallyp
 No, l don't think ever did"
 "Well, sir" continued Gilhooly, "I will bet two schooners of beer that we can go into dozen stores on Austin avenue and ask if they have certain things, and if they have not got them, the storekeeper will not say so plain out in one single instance. Suppose we try it"
 The suggestion was adopted. They strolled into a French fruit store, and Gilhooly said:
 Have you got a green watermelon for sale, monsieur2"
 Watermelon p exclaimed the aston- ished foreigner, "dis is ze wintaire sea- son."
 "I didn't ask you for any ID chronological intelligence. l can get that from Gener- al Hazen. Anybody who pays ten dol lars cord for wood is pretty apt to know that summer has faded away, besides have got an almanac at home. Once more, my friend, have you got any green watermelons ?"
 "Here is ze orange, ze banana, and ze appell."
 "I don't want any lessons in botany. Have you got green watermelon ?"
 "Ze green watermelon is net ripe"
 "Who said it was ripe? did not ask you whether or not it was ripe. Imerely asked you if you had green watermelon. But, come, Spilkins, let's go. He will give us history of the French revolution before he answers that question. Let us meander."
 The next place was millinery estab- lishment in which there was pleasant looking female.
 Madame" said Gilhooly, "have you a fried mule for sale r'
 The lady got as red as a turkey gob- bier, and craning he neck out, said:
 "Sirp
 "Have you fried mule in your ele- gant establishment 2'
 No, sir, but l have got a husband, and father and brothers who will pro- tect me from insult"
 "l didn't ask you for your pedigree, ma'am. There is no insult intended. Il merely asked you civil question"
 "John. oh, John! Run here quick with the six-shooterI p
 "Don't disturb him, ma'am, if he is busy. If you will say that he is a fried mule you need not produce him. We will take your word for it.''
 "John Oh, John! Come quickp
 "Let's go," said Spilkins.
 ~You might as weil," responded Gil- hooly, and the two strolled out again.
 Look here, Gilhooly," said Spilkins, somebody will exasperate us yet, and get themselves into trouble. My curiosity on the subject has vanished"

 Claw, Fuss, do you hear thatr ex- claimed the old lady.
 "Of course hear it, maw," replied the young lady. q have always respected Mir. Ham, and have never refused to listen to him. l knew that the law had passed, and very we'll knew that should MT. Ham desire it, he could go up into the house of lords instead of remaining in the house of commons"
 "Well, ladies'" said Mir. Bucksnort Ham, "I must go out and formally an- nounce myself as candidate. Prac- tically, shall have no opposition, but is better to show myself to the people.
 Don't be in hurry," the old lady re- marked.
 "Oh, no, there is no need of making so short visit," said the young lady.
 "I'll see you again soon," replied the future lord of Cottonbloom.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1885-04-04
CHAPTER III.

Ham was elected. Three days alter ward he and Fuss were married. Cot. tonbloom was quiet old place. The house, not lordly but comfortable, was almost hidden in grove of cottonwood trees. Fuss soon convinced the neigh bors that she did not care to associate with them, unless they carefully regarded the distinction which her position inn posed. Those who had heard of the joke humored it; those who had not, kept away from Lady Cottonbloom.
 The time for the meeting of the legis- lature drew near.
 "My lady," said Lord Cottonbloom, "I shall have to leave you for time"
 "Leave mew she exclaimed. "Why can not l accompany you to court ["
 Ham thought that her courting days were over, but replied: "It is not polite to go at once, my lady. After parliamen, is organized, and after have received the distinction of the Garter, you can come"
