ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting
Of Old Friend.


The late Edward Atkinson. used to
tell the following story at his own en-.
pense: In his boyhood he was one Of
number of boys who used to play
ball on the Boston common, which
was then against the law. At regular
intervals old Erastus Clapp, the con.
stable, would bear down upon the tres
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
rather choleric old manifestations
CIapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into a prosperous and re.
spected business man, while passing
along Boston street in company with
friend, he recognized In bent and
wfzened old man the likeness of his
old acquaintance, Constable Clapp
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow.
"Dont you remember me, Mr.,
CIapp?" he asked.
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr. Atkinson coldly
Nav" he finally answered, and start
ed to hobbIe on N
why, I'm Eddie Atkinson, whom
you used to chase off the common
years ago."
Clapp giared at him suspiciously
and finally put an end to the inter
view, much to the amusement of Mr.
Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply:
We'll, sir. no honest boy ever had
cause to- rum from me-"

Charley's uncle from Oklahoma was
up town being shown the sights. he
having come in the day before with
a few loads of steers, and Charley was
doing the honors.
They were walking along on Grand
avenue discussing the tall buildings,
when all of sudden one of those
rackety riveting machines began ham
mering away at high speed on a top
story of a steel skyscraper building.
The old man stopped as If he'd run
against something. He turned his eyes
in the direction of the sound but
could make out nothing. When he
turned to his bewildered nephew his
eyes were fairly popping.
Great Scott" he exclaimed. But

chair for him. she said that he was
the first visitor who had honored her
apartments and that she thought it
most kind of him to pay her this high
compliment. She was not so over
come /. with delight but that she be-
thought herself to open the door into
the hall and leave 1t open during his
VISIT. Then she sat opposite to him,
at well chosen distance suggestive
neither of familiarity nor prudish de-
corum. And, all the time, she let flow
current of the most shrewdly chosen
remarks, the purpose of which was
yelled by great maidenly simplicity
and modesty.
Sometimes very obscure little
woman reveals the genius of great
diplomat in ways such as these.
While Mr.. Moriarty was yielding to
sense of shame for having planned
rudeness to so pretty a little lady, he
gradually became interested in the
matter, as well as the manner of her
speech. He learned of her loneliness,
her piety, her domesticity and of her
very respectable family connections.
His sympathy was first aroused, then
his admiration. His gallantry yielded
to devotion. He was netted like a
moth; and as the wings of his freedom
were rumpled in the meshes of her
attractions, he felt the danger that
threatened But he made no effort to
escape. He was a very willing cap
| tive.
But how rude have been!" Miss
Byrne presently exclaimed. Il have
not asked whether you had any special
errand. Or, did you really come to

fellow began in reply. 'and-and-"
He pretty nearly blurted out the truth.

medley of Irish airs, played with a
fair amount of cleverness. She was
finished. And the last string which
held Moriarty's heart in place was
loosened; both that organ and his
! brain went afioat upon the troubled
sea of love.
When, at length. he bid Miss Byrne

The woods were so close to the village that,
as the game laws were not enfoced, sportsmen
had killed all the game long before. and did
not see even much as a squirrel until we
got very deep into the thcket.
Here Dick came across a covey of par
tridges; but, instead of facing me and point
ing at them with his tail as l expected he
would he rushed into their midst, with an
excited bark, and chased them so far that l
thought | had lost him as well as them;
Dog and birds were out of sight before l
thought to cock my gun,
After that, ! wandered over hill and dale,
and through thlcket and meadow, searching
for more game, until about noon, when /

five miles from home.

He was something of hunter himself. and

Leather Stocking.
Nick had brace of sons about my own
age and one of these spied me near the
premises. He was an enterprising YOUTH and
at once entered into business negotiations
with tuI me He had two raccoons that he had
to stakes behind the house. and each had a
kennel, like watchdog.
These he offered for sale, one for dollar
and the other for a dollar and half. ! was
unable to detect any difference between them,
and, when asked why one was more valuable
than the other, he said it was older
1t seemed to me that raccoon would be

chased the lesser beast for dollar Then the
question how l should transport it home
arose / couldn't very well lead it, for it was
savage little beast, and might have attacked
my legs. Young Schiller solved the problem
by getting soap box, in which he put the rae

birthday with longing that increased as the
time approached.
On my twelfth birthday, was presented
with a shotgun by an uncle, who thought my
in spite of all my entreaties | was, obliged
to wait another year before calling it mine
and being allowed to go into the woods and
deal destruction to the game awaiting me
there.
However, | purchased young dog, alleged
to be of the genus Pointer, whom l trained up
in the way he should CO. | named him Vic
tor Emanuel after the then sovereign of Italy.
not because had any particular esteem for
that monarch, but because the name was sus-
ceptible of abbreviation to "Vick, which was
so similar to the common name of Dick, by
which he had been christened before he came
into my possession, that | had no difficulty
in teaching him to respond to it.
So Wick and | waited with all the patience
we could command for my thirteenth birth
day to arrive, and we concerted wonderful
plans for that monentuous occasion and for
many occasions thereafter. At least, formed
the plans and unfolded them to him, and he
never once disagreed with me about even the
most trivial details, so agreeable, a dog was he
He was a handsome, whte-haired fellow,
was Wick, with black spots and waving tall
of which he was justly vain. He was dog
of a great deal of force of character and un-
bounded resolution.
Never shall | forget the CONSERVATION in
trieved from the very oven great roast that
formed the piece de resistance of dinner
to some particularly respected guests. He ac-
tually howed with pain at every step as he
bore the smoking JOINT away; but his nerve
was good, and he never stopped until he had
it safe under the barn. He afterward buried
it in the middle of flower bed and it lasted
him for refreshment between meals more than
a week.
We were in the country for the sumner,
when my anxiously-expected thirteenth birth
day arrived at last.
Every DAY for a week tefore, I had taken
the gcn apart and oiled the lock and all the
works. My accoutrements we're completed by
a shot-belt and a gamebag.
On the eve of my birthday, i took these
articles with the gun. up to my room, and re-
tired early, with Wick lying on the rug at the
foot of the bed, though he was sleeping on
my pillow when l awoke in the morning.
With the earliest dawn l obtained a very
slight refreshment in the pantry; accoutred
myself for the long-awated hunt, and started
forth supremely happy, with Wick bounding
along before, although hunting dogs proper
demeanor is to stalk soberly behind his mas
ter.
However, Vick knew as little about hunt
ing as did, and more experienced hunter
than myself would have had some difficulty
in finding game where there was none.
