But Tony Was smart and Made Good His
Escape.
A man on horseback rode up to q
cabin in the backwoods of Mississippi.
An old fellow, with an amusing squint
in his eyes, came out, and. bidding the
visitor good morning, seated himself on
stump.
'.How long have you lived hereF" the
stranger asked.
s'Let me see, now, Bill had the
swamp fever in August think it was
August, but it mout have been later;
Sal run away and married a constable
in October-must have been October,
but still l amt prepared TO bet on it;
Bob had dew pizen in November-some
of the neigh bors low it was later. but
/ am willing to bet on that; wife she
ups and dies in December, but amt
right shore about the time, still Iknow
that the yaller steer was killed by q
fallin' tree in November, an it strikes
m that wife died after that. Now, let
me see. I've been livin here about
three years"
"You have a peculiar method Of
reckoning time"
Yes, But had to make some sort
of shift after lost my almanick."
"Do you know of man named Tony
Beers"
'Beersp Let me see. Believe do
yes, 1 know l do"

swell, you take this road, go about
five miles and come to gum spring.
Then you turn to the right, go about
two miles and come to the river; cross
over, and keep on to the right till you
come to an old log house. 1t used to
be a church, but it's still-house now.
Then you take the left hand road and
that leads you right to Tony's house.
Is he friend Of yourn?"
NO." the traveller answered.
What sort of man is he?"
"Oh. he's putty stirrin' feller."
Us he quarrelsome?"
mo; can't say that he is in particu-
lar"
"Will he fight-that is. would you
term him desperate mah?"
Don't believe l would say he is des-
perate."
'.Do you suppose he would shoot
rather than submit to arrest?"
Don't think he would. / had a
difficulty with him once and he didn't
try to shoot me-"
"You don't like him very well if
you had difficulty with him, do you?"
mo, Idon't."
'Well. then, I'll tell you my busi-
ness with him. He stole a very fine
horse in Texas some time ago and he
is wanted in that State
"You don't say so! 1 amt sur
prised, though. The reason 1 didn't
appear to know much about him when
you first asked was because / was
afraid you was a friend of his. Stold
a hoss. hah? Well, you can jest slip
over there and nab him as easy as
slippin' off a sycamore log. I'd go
and help you, but l amt got nothing
to ride"
Il wish you could. / suppose,
though, that can make inquiry along
the way?"
Il wouldn't do that, for he's got a
good many kin folks scattered along
and they mout drop on you"
You are doubtless right; I am glad
you cautioned me-"
When the stranger had gone the old
fellow got off the stump, and, taking
up bride. said: ''Mr. Tony Beers,
you've got to do some riding now on
that fine hoss from Texas. That
chump will have nice wild goose
chase while l am getting out of the
country in another direction. It's
good thing for some of US that every
man wasn't born smart t"-Arkansaw

Everything that pertains to fashion

A portrait of Talleyrand in his
youth is the appropriate frontispiece
of the February Century, in which is
given a very full and interesting in
stalment of extracts from tine Talley-
rand Memoirs (begun in the January
number). Napoleon is almost the sole
subject of the extracts in this number.
The instalment opens with Talley-
rand's apology for taking office under
the Directory. A most striking de-
scription is next given of Bonaparte
in the first flush of his victories.
These extracts are full of plots. The
first described is that between Bona
parte and Talleyrand himself, just be-
fore Napoleon overthrew the Direc-
tory and made himself ruler of France.
Then comes Talleyrand's apology for
supporting Bonaparte, followed by Il
number of anecdotes of Bonaparte,
and including an account of his meet
ing with Goethe and Wieland.

their parts that slight nervousness will
not be noticed. Splendid scenery and
most attractive costumes have been se-

been spared to bring the drama as near
to perfection as is possible to do with
local participants. The Hushebeck
