"a Yank dun shot him at Atlanta,
and he's been lame ever since. Didn't
want to 60 to wah, but they made
him."
"Well? ?"

he dun told me he was fur the
union, and he dun wished he had got
away to fight for Lincoln"
"Well p
"Now, then, kin he git pension ?

That's jist how I've dun been

Mr.. Jasper also wanted informa-
ton. Several years previous he had
squatted on piece of government
land, and he was there yet. He had
brushed a few acres, built a cabin,
and was calculating to live and die
right there when something happened
to disturb his peace of mind. A man
came along and told him he was liza
BILE to election at moments notice,
although he supposed that living on
a "squat" three years entitled him to
a deed. l had to agree with what
had been told him, and he queried:
"Was it bekase l didn't vote for
Blaine ?"
"Oh, no."
"Had orter voted fur Harrison
instead of Cleveland ?"
"That would have made no differ
ence.'
"Now, you look a-yere. Who is
this government ?"
THE people,"
"A-zactly; and hain't | one of the
people ?"
"You are."
"Then I've only got my sheer of
the land, and I'll be dog-shot if l gin
up to anybody. If the gov'ment
comes down yere and tells me to scat
ter I'll iist take down my old gun and
die a-fghtin'."
Mrs. Jasper had question or two
to ask. She had brother die in
Colorado fifteen years before, but had
never been able to learn in what part
of the territory, or what he died of,
or any other particulars.
"I'm jist a-satisfed that he had as
much as six or seven dollars in his
wallet" she said, "and probably two
suits of clothes that orter come tn me,
but it hasn't. Some say it's the gov
ernor's business to find out for me,
and some say the railroad orter give
me pass to ride out there and back
free. What does you'un think ?"

and as it grew late and the trio arose
to depart Mr.. Jasper said:
"You kin tell the gov'menl il had
better let my squat alone. shan't
abide with no fooling."
And Mrs. Jasper said:
"If you hear about them dollars
and them clothes in your travels /
shall expect you to write me letter" F"

Leaping on the fat-topped gate, the re-
cruit cooked his musket. The tre IN those
ewes warned the men of the danger.

stantly came to a stand-stilL He glared
at them for a moment and said: Don't al

"Ye'r not sich towards as to be skeered

care not to advance a step himself.
"Stay where you are, men, and il he wants

ssYes, Zack. 60 an burn the house, and
we'll wait here,' said one of the boaster's
companions.
But Zack was not quite so ready to go as
to send others. He stamped and swore he
would eat the earth, when Luke resolutely
but coolly assured him that he would get a
taste of it if he attempted to enter the gate.
'.Hain't We comm ter help me!" Zack
roared.

For a moment Zack hesitated between
pride as bully and fear of the musket.
Pride at last got the better of his fears, and,
with volley of oaths, he took step toward
the gate. Instantly Luke's gun covered his

pangs of hunger at last overcoming him, he
joined them in the feast.
Having satisfied their appetites the five
soldiers went to the front yard, where they
saw the advance guard of the little army
coming down the hill.
"TaRe your places in front of the fence,

Luke cast a glance at the old house be-
meath whose friendly roof he had passed
his happiest days. 1t was the home of his
friends, the home of his betrothed-and in
the attic was the old wooden cradle which
had borne his infant form on the food. This
.ast relic of his mysterious babyhood would,
of course, perish with the house. He de-
termined to defend it with his life.

secure his appearance at that time, he
was released from custody.
From the allegations of Miss Wolfe, it
would appear that the offense is q graver
one than the ordinary disturbance of the
peace. The complainant is employed as
a modiste in the City of Paris store, and
for some months past has been acquaint-
ed with Estes, who at first behaved him
self in gentlemsnly manner. As the
acquaintance ripened, however, he de-
veloped a familiarity which Miss Wolfe

noxious that che refused to have any
thing to do with him. From that time
on, according to her account, he per-
sisted in thrusting himself upon her
whenever an opportunity offered itself,
and followed her on the streets as she
left the store. He even went 80
far as to call out her name
across the table of public restaurant,
and on another occasion poked her in
the ribs as she was riding on a street
car. For this offense she boxed his ears
in public; but next morning sign was
posted on the fence next door to her
home to the following effect: ga re-
ward of $50 is offered for the young lady
who struck the man on the street car
yesterday" These are only few of the
annoyances which Miss Wolfe alleges
we're perpetrated by Estes, who perse-
cuted her almost daily in one way or
another, until she was finally compelled
to demand the protection of the police.
