The Cowboys Virgil.

George Handy is in town-tender-
foot from Colorado. Originally he
was tenderfoot in Colorado from
New York. When acting as tele-
graph operator at the railroad station
in Guthrie he was approached one
day by a citizen of quiet mien who
asked when the next train left. In
an airy way he replied, ooh, when it
can" The stranger reached back
and produced ''gun," which, accord.
ing to Handy, was two feet long and
as big around as a cannon. ''When
do that train leave?" he repeated
Handy, yielding the floor, amiably
answered that question and dozen
others which were flung at him. See
ing a book lying on the desk, he
said: what book are that you're
1eading?'" chats my Virgil, and
I'm translating a few lines when I

Haven't seen him in 20 years. How
is the old boy? Just the same as
eyer?" He opened the volume, sat
down on a bench and began to read
it off in perfect English, to the
amazement of Handy, a Yale boy.
"How did you learn it?" the operator
asked. ooh, I was first honor man
at Harvard and always loved Virgil.

'Wel, yes, somewhat" confessed
Mr.. Beldon, "but really they gave
me no such idea of her, I must say
no such awful idea of her-as that
she gave me herself when she came
in here last night
you have been dreaming" [ de-
clared-'sd dreaming! Lock your door,
Mr.. Deldon, and don't imagine"
Here Glorianna unceremoniously
poked her head in at the door.
"The's another newspaper Teller
come an he says he wants to get
took in"
Mr.. Beldon sprang to the door.
"Say she'll come in a minute, Glory,
in a minute" He pushed her out,
drew me in, and this time he did lock
his door most hurriedly.
Il told you,'' he said, speaking very
fast. that old Haight was putting
them on to the case. Now promise
me that you won't take him in. They
have withdrawn the police from the
Hall, l hear, and now the newspaper
harpies are going to have their
innings. Now promise me, Mrs.
Brathwaite, do promise me. If you
must take in a reporter, take some
one not on our paper"
I sha'n't take him." said I. Don't
you be alarmed Nothing would
'empt me to help annoy the ladies
1t the Hail." I then went out and
: heard him lock the door after me.
de was evidently more afraid of his
own editor than of all the ghosts
in Christendom. I went swiftly out
to the porch, and there I found a
young fellow, not yet out of his
teens. He had newspapers in all his
pockets, and there was such an erup-
ton Of pencils everywhere that he
might almost have answered to the
sobriquet of 1.-THE Human Porcu-
pine"
He bowed politely.
''Haye you a room for rent?' he
said.
NO" said I.
"Why, 1 was told in the village
that l might be able to get in here.
[ came from the city this morning
to write up sensation, and I want
to remain for two or three days."
'Well [ have no room for you," ]
said. What is your paper?'
''The Morning Scythe," said he. At
this | smiled a little, with relief at
finding it not to be the Star Union,
but I had no idea of harboring any
one who wanted to write up my own
dear people at the Hall, and said
only, well, I have no room unoccu-
pied; besides, [ never let my room
for less than week"
''Oh, the editor wouldn't mind pay
ing a weeks rent at all, I'm sure.
He is very keen after this article
"Wen,' said I, ST wouldn't let you
have a room if [ was as poverty
stricken as Jobs turkey, and you
offered me a hundred dollars a week.

My old dog got up and came over
to where the young man stood and
began pushing against him with his
great body.
Does he bite?'' asked he.
"Not unless too hard pushed"

se's doang to me. I'll just go along
and UP to the Hail."

"Yes'm," said Glorianna.

course I can't What is this new man

"He is an old clergyman" said I.
"He is highly recommended by my
old friend, President Marmaduke
Smith, of the Galtersville College.
He is from way out west somewhere,
[ Cont know where. But how did
you know that had taken apyone?"
How do [ know? I'm sure I can't
tell you. It's in the air, I suppose,
as you said this morning. You are
sure he is just clergyman"
Zone look at the poor old man is
enough" said I. "Why, what did
you think he wasp"
"Well, I-I-thought it might be
old Haight himself perhaps, come
out here to track out the mystery
up at the Hall. But, of course, he
would make no secret of who he is,
and he wouldn't tell a lie, not to get
the whole scoop. What peculiar SUI
perstition does your friend affect?"

thing about bathing, called it INNER

man! I'm afraid he's not long for
this life''
"Well," said my lower-back, shrug-
ging his shoulders. II suppose I'll
have to put up with him, but I
want to say just this, if he makes a
noise overhead, or roams round at
night like your aunt, you can count
me out"
''I'm very sorry" said I, ''but my
poor aunt cannot walk one step.
How you do harry me. You are SO
fanciful. I really have no one to
help me, and nowhere to turn.

present, and don't want you to ask
me why"
Every well, enough said" and Mr..
Beldon went into his room and closed
the door. This time he locked it, as
I had advised, and I saw nothing
more of him that day.
Meanwhile, whenever I could get
an opportunity, L stole one of Miss
Dacres' letters, and as / did so | re-
placed it with the one that I had
just copied. / read them with deep
interest, and spent great deal of
time over them in my own room, SO
much so that Aunt Jane Mary COM
planned that she was left entirely to
Glorianna.
One day when Miss Dacres had
gone off on one of her lengthy rides,
and I had been up to call on the Ia
dies, / returned to find her door open
and Glorianna standing within the
opening. She was reckoning silent
ly with quick, sharp crook of the
finger
''Glorianna," said I, "Miss Dacres
allows no one in her room but me-"
That's why I come" said Glori-
anna. "You ben fooled long
enough"
''What do you mean?" 1 asked.
Glorianna closed the door gently
and then crossed the floor. She flung
a towel over the keyhole of the COM
municating door, and led the way to
the door of the cellar. This l saw
that she had already unbolted; she
began to descend the stairs.
''Come back, Glorianna," said 7,
come back" in as loud whisper
as I dared give voice to. "You know
I told her that no one should enter
her room but myself, and going into
the cellar was very particular part
of the promise. Come up, do you
hear? Come up!"
