A Bashful Couple In the Shade

TRHE day after the affair At Bur-
u toms in Tennessee I went over to
Andrews Fork, seven or eight miles
away, and was made heartily welcome
at the largest Of the three cabins. An
drews had q daughter go years old. and
I soon understood that she was to be
married next day. Iadeed, tho lHaky
young man was on the ground and
waiting. He was q Elk footer, slim as
toothpick, awkward as calf, and dead
in love. The girl was more shy, but
not to be bluffed by my presence. When
l entered the froLt door, the young man,
who answered to the name Of Dayy. ran
out Of the back. He felt confused and
embarrassed, and, taking his seat on
log about thirty feet from the house be
hid his face as much as possible behind
a sapliug. Andrews called ; but be
put his finger in his mouth and would
not come. Then his Susan vent out
and said:
Nov, Davy, what's the scrimmage?
He'un hasn't come yeFe te hurt we'uns.'

And sleep at night in the moons cold

Oh, for a cold -cold-co wave flag,

A BAD SHOT.
Read The CLARION.

TT was the last evening ofthe engage.
II ment of Alcorez, the French jugler,
at the Elysium Music Hall, and the
house was crammed. The prestldgita'
tor is not always a popular turn he
lacks piquancy and excitenent,and very
often originality, but Alcorez had got
hold of one or two almost startling feats
which current rumor gaye the credit OF
perilously stealing from Thibet. AT all
events his name on the bill was fea-
ture, and he alwaya took we'll.
The conjurer himself stood at the bar
waiting his call, and drank sparingly
with his admirers. He was IN good
spirits that night, for on the following
week hs was to start on big American
tour which was almost certain to result
in further engagements and insure his
future.
At different times and in all places
there are sympathetic audiences and
exacting audisnces. Why, and what
controls them, none can say. Simply
they are there and haye to be allowed
for. AS the juggler bowed his e1peir-
enced eye took in the sea Of faces, and
be smiled.
BE generally began with very sim.
pie trick that is easy as it looks impos-
sible, and older than the necromancers.
He would borrow watch, get a stran-
ger from among the audience to come
upon the stage and hold it and then
cause 1t to disappear and be found IN
someone else's possession. 1t is very
absurd when you see how it is done, but
it is capable of endless variations, and
can always be made to raise laugh,
which is the conjurer's first object.
Tonight Alcorez borrowed the watch
Almost before he had made the request
a man from the front row of stalls
stepped upon the stage to assist him.
This alacrity was so unusual that
Alcorez looked at the man curiously,
and wondered that his face seemed half
familiar to HIM. A word from the
audience caught the juggler's ear and
he turned quickly to tho stranger.
Are you my friend, my accomplice,
my servant7 A gentleman in the au-
dience distrusts me. ls it so?'
Certainly not said the stranger.
Have you eyer assisted me- continued
the conjurer.
There was just the suggestion of a
pause, but the NO. was firm and en-:
phatic, aud Alcorez proceeded.
Generally it is easy to reduce the
assist and to the necessary state Of con.
fusion at a very early stage, but the
stranger did not indulge in any Of the
humorisms by which the volunteers lay
themselves open Alcorez little puzzled
placed the watch in q handkerchief,
gave the ends to stranger to hold and
crossed the stage.
There was still an almost unfaillng
ruse. Few men-those accustomed to
powder least Of all-can face a gun or
pistol without tremor, Fhis gives
the conjurer double advantage by
means Of a weapon he can bring teoe

obser vent assistant into such condition
of nervousness that he is unable to pro.
ceed, and he can, for a moment, startle
an entire audience out Of watchfulness
by the sudden flash and report. Alcorez
picked up glittering revolver, raised
quickly, and drew the sight dead on the
others face.
Are you ready?' he called sharply.
Quite, unainchingly replied the
stranger.
Alcorez lowered the weapon.
'The danger is small, he said, with
a lightness he was far from feeling at
that moment, but l will not take
fellow creature unprepared. But then
with professional facetiousness-'1ve
killed only one man as yet
There's no luck in even numbers,
said the other quietly, perhaps l shall
be the second
Alcorez shrugged his shoulders. After
oil it mattered little. He could create
diversion and make the pass after
ward.
He took up the revolver agalnjudged
the sight we'll above the head. and fired.
The effect was instantaneous. The
stranger pressed his baud to his FORE
head, gave long gurgling sigh, and
sank down on the boards, while from
the hall came shrieks of women and the
Mortified shouts and threats of men us
they surged for the doors and the stage
Alcorez stood for a moment stupefed.
In that short second dozen possibilities
whirled around one dull central fact
irretrievable ruin. Possibly hs had
mixed bis cartridges; perhaps,even some
one had tampered with his pistol. Ah!
after all the poItroon might have only
tainted. He rushed across, bent down
and grew CHASTITY as he saw q fresh red
stresk on the fallen mans brow. The
atrical to the last he faced the raging
crowd, aud tearing open his shirt,placed
the weapon to his own heart and fired.
A renewed burst Of shrleks and cries
greeted this. He neither fell nor moved
but stood with uplifted hands as if
mutely calling on heayen to witness his
innocence.
They carried the dying man into a
dressingroom and placed him on couch
while Alcorez followed, rickly with ter,
ror and agitated beyond words. The
manager was there already. See if
there is doctor here be said briefly to
an attendant.
There Is no need, said the stranger
suddenly, as he arose from the couch
and stood firm. 4 was not hurt He
took a cloth, wiped his forehead clean
and showed his hand smeared with fresf
red paint.
There was a hushed pause, broken by
by the sound Of Alcorez falling heavily
to the ground, From the little groul
of men came word:
Coward
Perhaps, said the stranger, ,numovee
but listen. Once before-month
ago-I stepped upon the stage to assis
that man. Meyer mind why. I wen
to help him, that is enough. He repai'
me by making me laughing stock fo

could of humiliating him. Ask hin

1t was a naughty lawyer

Who sought upon witness
To vent his spleen one day.
The witness quickly answered
With caustic, wit aad chat,
And soon against the lawyer
Had raised a hearty laugh.
Loud laughed the judge and jury
The others louder yet,
Except the ancient crier,
Who kept his features set.
Until to him the lawyer
Called. in his sneeriug way:
"How is it, Mr.. Perkins,
You do not laugh today7"
Then quoth the solemn Perkins,

got him braced up after an hours
talk, and then We took cut through
the woods to see the new cabin which
had been erected for the bridal couple.
1t was an humble structure made Of
poles, with no door TO the doorway,
and no sash in the window. The ground
was beaten down hard for floor; there
was rude fireplace at one end, and a
bedstead had been made of poles laid
in crotches. Dayy's mother had given
him bear skin, q kettle, skillet, and
Jug. and these We're placed in corner.
Susan's parents had given her pan, a
kettle, three tin plates, two spoons, two
knives and forks and bottle Of vinegar
and these were placed in another COR
ner. That was the whole outfit.

They had gone to every trouble to
oblige me, and here was an opportunity
to requit their kindness. There was a
genuine country store about a mile
away, and l got rid of Dayy and went
down there. I had Il little talk with
the storekeeper, and wrote out list of
things and rendered the pay, and his
voice actually trembled as he said:
