EARL Il. HENRY.
A ST. Paul man has married the
girl he met for the first time In

THE BLACK SHEEP; OR
THE DAY OF THE AUCTION
The day Of the auction sale ar.
rived.
The old home had to be sold.
Urlah Speed Withdrew after
breakfast as his good wife sat In
tears.
Il would be the last day under
the old roof.
Under this roof there had been
born to Uriah Speed and wife,
son, who had taken TO gambling,
and who left homo one cold win
ter's night after a quarrel with
his father who refused him moro
money.
IL cannot afford il, son." said
the father. "You have already
forced me to put mortgage on
the old home"
Mrs. Speed was thinking Of her
son.
And so was urlah Speed, now
that the old home was about to
90 under the hammer.
When the crowd had gathered
for the auction, and the fence
alona the road was lined with
teams, and the clock stood at
1855, five minutes 70 the appoint
ed hour, In the distance there
was heard the chatter Of horses
hoofs.
Eight, fifty-five," said the old
mother. Isn't II strange that !
should have noticed the hour: IL
was exactly at 1855, juss AZ years
ago, that Will, our hayward boy,
was BORN"
Everything was ready for the
sale Of the old home.
The old chairs and the tables
anu tHc uSosSedos Wc'c wv v"
the lawn.
The stoves and the tinware and
the dishes were out on the porch,
TO 90 TO the highest bidder
II was decided that everything
would have to- be sold; that moth
Ing should be spared.
The sound Of horses feet on
a mad gallop were heard now
just over on the other side Of the
hill.
Uriah Speed heard them.
The aged wife and mother
heard them.
She wondered.
II was now two minutes 20
nine.
In two minutes the sale Of the
old home should begin.
The clatter OF hoofs was heard
nearer, now we'll up the hill.
IL was one minute to nine
Uriah speed and his good wife
and the good mother Of the way
ward son still wondered.
Only half minute now stood
between the old home and the
hour OF the sale.
Suddenly from the aged father
there came a shout. as the rider
OF the foamlng, steaming steod
showed on top Of the hill: "lt 10
| he!"
at 10 he" Joined the good
wife and good mother.
at 10 hei" shouted the crowd.
And sure enough, the foaming,
stean1ing steed stopped In front
Of the old home, and from the
saddle there sprano mono other
than tho auctIoneer.
