Decided by Jury,

1t Is not uncommon for an English
Judge to try to raise iaugh-and
strange to say. he usually succeeds
by affecting an infantile ignorance Of
all things but purely judicial matters.
Sir Henry Hawkins not long ago asked
In court, what is hay?"
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says that in recent libel suit
a strange affectation of judicial ignor-
ance was evinced by Lord Russell. Sir
Edward Clarke read, from book of
the plaintiffs, a description of Chopin's
"umber-shaded head
"What shadeY asked Lord Russell.
"Umber," replied Sir Edward.
"Yes, but what is that?" persisted the
chief justice.
At this point the feelings Of the jury
were too much for them. With a unan-
unity reminiscent of the "Pirates Of
Penzance," they chanted in expostula-
tory chorus: Brown, my lord, brown"
and the trial went on.

both wondered too. For Mrs. Angler
was sharp, prim, and elderly, and Ell
len was-well, the last girl in the
world that one would suppose could
suit Mrs. Angler. When Ellen stood
before her with her great frame
drawn to it's full height, her big
hands on her bony hips, and fixed
her expressionless blue eyes on her
face, little Mrs. Angler said she new
er knew what to do. This must have
been a novel mental condition for
Mrs. Angler who had always ruled
her household, which had hitherto
consisted of her daughter, and her
one maid, with a rod of iron Her
traits were so well known that the
girls in the Select Employment Office
always shook their heads when invit-
ed to go and talk with Mrs. Angler,
and never took the place except as
last resort. But Ellen, the big Swed-
ish girl, was not afraid of Mrs. An
gier nor of her work, and from the
day she set her ungainly feet in the
lady's house to the day she left it to
go to live with Mrs. Anglers daugh-
ter in the city there was no trouble.
81 get the meals, wash the clo'es,
I clean up, clean up, clean up. What
more do you want? I amt no Mig
ger to work all the time!'' blazed
Ellen, one afternoon when Mrs. An
ger attempted to expostulate with
her for sitting so costly in the kit
chen crOcheting her endless cotton
lace. There was a dull red flush on
the girls high, bare brow and Mrs
Angler retreated from the kitchen
with barely a trace of her usual prim
dignity.
It was Ellen's gospel to which she
lived religiously that there was
time for everything, and that every
thing should be done in it's time She
got the meals by the clock, utilizing
provisions to an extent that surpris-
ed even prudent Mrs. Angler, did GER
tain work on certain days, week in
and week out, and every one said
that Mrs. Anglers spick span house
had never been in such a state of
splck span-ness as during Ellen's
reign. But she was a law unto her
self, and this was the sharp thorn in
the side of Mrs. Angler who had al
ways found the greatest joy of her
life in directing every lease move
ment of her maid. She always ex-
perienced supreme delight in order
ing any portion of the work done
over, and in the almost inevitable al
tercation which followed. But she
would never dare tell Ellen to do
anything over-indeed, there was no
need.
But Mrs. Anglers occupation was
gone. She felt like a boarder in her
own house. A boarder, too, who was
treated with a sort of half antago-
nistic liberation. If she would pre-
fer graham gems instead of corn
mullins for breakfast, she never dar-
ed say so, for she was afraid Of the
way those wide eyes with the lash
less lids would stare. She thought
of speaking to the minister: even OF

and with these extraordinary words
the girl left the room.
Presently she put her head in the
door and asked,
"Name Tom?''
"Why, Ellen, what difference can
it make? His name is Thomas G.
Morrill,"
"Tom. All right. Go to bed''
The next morning the youth in the
elegantly appointed law office of
Morrill, & Gates, handed the senior
partner a telegram addressed to
'Tom Moril." The superscription so
surprised Mr.. Morrill, that he raised
an enquiring glance to his clerk on
whose face the look of amusement
quickly gave place to one of uncon-
Germ.
Tearing open the envelope, Mr..
Morrill, read the following:
To Tom Morril.
She wat is left is dying. Come to
huston. Ellen.
The remarkable nature of the mes
sage admitted of no delay. and Mr.
Morrill, started for the train with all
speed.
When he stepped from the train at
Houston he was approached by wo-
man of massive proportions who said
in decided tones, you're him! Her

''May I ask your name, MADAME"
demanded Mr.. Morrill,, meeting the
wide eyes, sternly.
"Vy of course. I'm Elem

turned Mr. Morrill,, who began to
think himself the victim of some
practical joke. ''Did you send me

sponded the girl, cheerfully, taking
possession of Mr.. Morrill's satchel.
'No I'll lug it. Vat you tink?She

come. She might could die. She
might could cry those eyes out, an

And Ellen thrust Mr. Morrill's bag
into his hand and disappeared down
a side street.
The intimation that his wife had
run away from him was a great sur
prise, and altogether alarming, and
caused Mr.. Morrill, to take a review
of his brief married life as he walk
ed slowly toward the home of his

and each successive meal had some
unusual delicacy to surprise and
please the guest.
Mrs. Morrill, received the girls at
tentions spontaneously, and spoke
many words of kindness and SYM
pathy, which never failed to bring
to the girls face that unpleasant
flush which always appeared when
she was much moved.
One evening Ellen knocked at Mrs.
Morrill's door, and without waiting
to be hidden entered the room.

said, hoarsely. whats the matter?"
"Ellen!" exclaimed Mrs. Morrill,,
angrily.
Don't be mad,' said Ellen, calmly.
'You cry every night you do be

ed face and regarded the girl with a
mingled look of amazement and ter

'Is it her?" demanded Ellen.
"Her!"

energetic jerk of her thumb toward
her mistress room.
Mamma? o, no!''
''Then tell mel" cried Ellen, fling
ing herself to her knees before Mrs
Morrill,, and clasping her arms
around her. "Tell me who's the
dumb thing tills kill um.''
'You brighten me,'' exclaimed Mrs.
Morrill,, recoiling from such sympa-
thy.
II won't hurt you. But I'm goin' to

'You are very kind Ellen, and I
thank you, but my unhappiness you
can't do anything to lessen," spoke
Mrs. Morrill,, sadly.
Suddenly Ellen stood, and demand
ed, sternly, "Where's your man?"

in amazement, ooh, you mean my
husband? I haven't any now-I

But Mrs. Morrill, arose and threw
herself at the bedside in a passion of
weeping.
Instantly Ellen was beside her

quivering form of the woman she
loved.
"There a, there a, there a, there a,

And because she didn't know what

that broad breast the whole story of

happy girlish heart she had married

soul, and she spoke sharply, ELLEN,

"Ain't I quiet?" demanded Ellen,
facing around.
ooh, yes you are. But about the
dishes I mean, faltered the mistress,
avoiding the eyes, 90, Ellen, I came
to tell you that I have a letter from
my daughter, Mrs. Morrill,, saying
she is coming to make me a visit.
She will be here to dinner. I wish
you to get her room ready"
Ellen had resumed her dish-wash-
ing and made no response.
"Did you understand, Ellen?" ques-
toned Mrs. Angler, fearing the girl
was displeased with the news.
"Ma'am?" returned Ellen, lifting
her head.
The tone implied such perfect COM
prehension that Mrs. Angler left the
room without further remark.
When the station carriage contain
ing Mrs. Morrill, stopped before the
house, Ellen appeared, quietly put
little Mrs. Angler aside, went down
the walk and relieved the visitor of
her travelling bags.

pleasantly.
''Be you her daughter?" gasped Ell
len, devouring Mrs. Morrill's face
with her eyes.
The lady smiled fearlessly into the
eyes and answered, Eyes"
A dull flush slowly mounted to Ell
lens brow, as she said, ''Why you
are blonde, and she's-eak!"
Ellen stood by and watched almost
greedily while the ladies embraced,
and followed awkwardly when they
entered the house with their arms
around each other.
would you take them up to my
room, Ellen, please? One at a time
if they're too heavy for you.''
81 could take you too," returned
Ellen, starting on.
"How odd she is, mamma. Where
did you ever get herr" exclaimed
Mrs. Morrill,, dropping YEARLY into
a chair.
Mrs. Angler closed the door softly,
took chair beside her daughter and
poured out her tale of woe.
There was something so extremely
ridiculous in the idea of her deter
mined little mother living in subjec-

From the Phnadelphls Press ,
Addison, w. Va, Dec. Cheeky and Pol
ly Pollard, who live down in the wilds of
Spruce Mountain, Nicholas county. had an
adventure last night, news of which came
TO this city to-day, when their brother,
James, came to get court plaster and lini-
ment for their wounds.
The women are old maids and live with
their brother on a mountain farm. Last
Friday James went to town, leaving the
sisters to look after the farm.
About midnight on the second day Polly
wakened her sister and called her atten-
ton to the unusual noise and commotion,
which seemed to come from the hen house.
Supposing that a coon or possum was
making inroads upon their poultry. the
sisters dressed hurriedly, and, arming
themselves. one with a long iron shovel
and the other with an axhelve, made their
way to the chicken coop, Polly carrying
the lantern.
The chicken house was filed with flying
feathers and squeaking chickens, and as
Becky opened the door nothing else could
be seen or heard. Both boldly entered.
however, and throwing the rays Of the
lantern about they soon discovered a bulky
animal crouched in one corner 1t appeared
like big econ, and Polly, advancing dealt
it a blow with the shovel.
In an instant she saw her mistake. 1t
was a catamount,a cross between wild
cat and panther one of the
most vicious animals found in
Amreica The huge brute made a
leap for the woman, but she lodged
it. and it fell upon the ground at the feet
of Becky, who, quick as a fash, dealt IL
another blow striking it on the back, just
behind the shoulders. Tne catamount made
another spring, growing with rage and
pain, but it had evidently been crippled,
and instead of reaching Miss Becky $
throat, it scraped its long, sharp claws
across her shoulder. Polly was at the
brute again before it got to the ground,
and dazed it. Both women then began be-
laboring it as it lay on the ground, till a
blow from the ak helve broke its back.
The women appeared as usual next day
and seemed to think nothing Of their ex-
perience Jim brought the catamount's hide
to town to have 1t tanned, and 1t will be
made into a rug for the bed chamber of
the women who killed it.
