The Crissman Houso was closed and the lighis wer turned out, but some of the boys were lingering by the geninl now base-burn- or stove, where they had been ex changing experiences during the eve- ning. The stove was radiant, Its beams fell warmly on the form of the dog Crosar on the floor. They lit the jovial face of the County Clerk as the early sunbeams illuming the tin roos ter on the hotel barn and kissed the nose of the Sheriff until its reflected light surrounded him with a halo of glory. Thoy glowed on the decantera back of the bar with a soft intensity that emphasized the labels, and they even climbed to the *‘No Trust” sign and clothed it with so kindly a gleam that it appeared no longer a stern reality and carried terror to no one — not even the foreman of the printing office, reclining on the coal-box back in the shadows. ‘“Eighty years ago!" mused th|{ Sheriff. ‘Old age comes on apace, but it seems to me as if he was bowl- ing along this way on a gallop. Age may be a crown of glory, but I notice that youth hangs up the most ven- sion.” “Well,” said~ the County Clerk, *‘did age pounce down on Uncle Peleg Underh1I's grandfather all in one night and turn him gray? What bus- iness had he to be Uncle Peleg's grandfather, or anybody else’s grand. father, anyhow, unless he was gray when he started in on the grandfather business?” “But hold on! Hold on!" said the Sheriff. ‘T haven't told you about it yot. Uncle Peleg's grandfa‘her was 22 years old wken—"" “‘Stop!” said the ex-Poundmaster, as he got up and began to button his overcoat. ‘‘Stop, Sheriff; that’ll do! I've heard you tell about catfish climbing trees, and pickerel burrow- ing throhgh ten-acre lots to get from one pond to another, andhave never for a moment deubted your truthful- mess. I've told those stories to my children, and when they pulled down their under eyelids and asked me if I saw anything green. I've reproached them for implied doubt, telling them that you had seen those things, and they were consequently true. Bat, Sheriff, inIre-enting me with a man 22 years old as a grandfather, you are asking too much of me at my timo of life. It won't soak in. T now begin to doubt even the oclimbing catfish, and my faith in the burrowing pick- erel it wavering. Bheriff, it is a sad thing when one friend loses confidence in another. Good night, boys. I go home a sadder, but a:wiser man, A RUNNING FIRE, ‘‘Poundmaster,” said the Bheriff, ‘I'm touchel.” And the Sheriff pressed his hand to his head. Then, thinking the movement might be mis- -constructed among the boys, he moved it quickly, and laid 1t on -chest, ‘‘how sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to be called a liar by & man you darsn’t hit!” he said, bitterly. *‘But stay. Uncle ®Peleg’s grand- father wasn’t his grandfather then, You see-—"" “But you said he was his grand- father,” urged the Poundmaster. “‘Do you take it back then, and admit you were lying to us?” ‘‘You see,” said the Sheriff, not committing him- self. ‘‘You see, he gotto be Uncle Pelog’s nndhthar.%:n-nle he was Uncle Peleg's g finally. Bee?” The Poundmaster shook :his head ud}%, and sat down again, ““Then that spoils the whole blamed story,” vaid the County Clerk. *‘‘You said Peleg ndfather’s hair turned gray in a single night. Now, that would be something worth listening to, If the old gentieman’s hair turn- ed gray all at once, that o say that his hair wasn't ore, un- leas it was dyed and fl:‘znt histhat in ashower. Now, a dfather with- out gray hair was just an immense thing to commence a Christmas.atory with, But it turns out that there wasn't any grandfather at all, and if there wasi't any grandfather, where are you going to get your gray hair? The next time you iatend to get your fine work in on a grandfather story. Bheriff, dox't t;'ly to play a twenty- two-year-older off on us for the .old man, “‘I'ry it the other way, Sheriff,” lusgelted the ex-District-Attorney ¢‘Oan’t you make it come out by tell- ing how your grandfather's Undle Peleg Underhill’s hair turned gray in # single night? Mebbe that'll fix it.’ “But my grandfather didn't have any Uncle Peleg Wnderhill,” said the £horiff, “I tell you what to do,” said the Poundmaster, who likes a dispute. “‘Begin the story ‘Qnoe upon a time,’ ete. IVl ghten out as you go.” ‘“Yes,” said the Distriot-Attorney: “‘and if you could werk in a couple o' ghosts right near tee start, and kill some one in a dark,deep holiow, we'd like it.” The foreman of the printing office came out from among the shadows and took aseat in the glow of the burner. He said it was too cold on a coal box, ““Bu’ ther ain’t any ghosts in this story, ‘‘said the Sheriff, “‘and no one gets murdered.” “ The foreman of the printing office went back to the shadows, 15., said it was to hot by the bask burner. A PRETTY PIOTURE, ““I have an impression,” continued the Bheriff, ‘‘that there is the suspi- sion of an inclination on the part of the circle this evening to infer that 1 do not intend to lay this story out with the aid of a straight edge. Gentle- men, Tam deeply hurt, With what good reason let my witness be a sim- ge statement of faete in the case of ucle Pslfimdlflhr. Poetic li- cense, my Poundmasteri license!” There was a pause, decan i Poetic A label on one of canters ceased to gleam in the fire light. There was 4 silvery sound of a gurgling rill in & meadow. A group of earnest men stood silent in the glow and shadow. Then pre- sently the label blazed forth again in all its wonted vividness. The silent men sat down, The Sheriff broke the stillness, “OF course,” said he, ‘‘the circum- stances 1 am about to tell didn’t hap pen within my recollection. T got ‘em clean from Uncle—T should say the lafe Peleg Underhill, Pele didn’t know them from personal recol- lection, either, as he hadn’t fell heir to any grandfather at that time, and wasn't in that part of the country. Pelog’s grandfather's name was rekiel Merryweather, At the age of he was a young man living over on the head waters of the Little Bush- hill. ““He was a romantic sort of a dack,” continued the Sheriff. ‘“‘He scorned a life of toil, and chose the easy and luxurious existence that comes of liv- ing in a brush cabin and chasing the fleet-footed denitens of the dim lit foreat from ridgo to ridge, and bring ing home their hide and tillow. He was an original Pike county hunter, and was known to clear as high as fifiy dollars somo years with his gun and traps. Nobody knew whero ho came from. He liked a drop of nuff, and—"" ‘‘He was from Jersey,” said the Poundmaster. ‘‘Ho was extremely shy and mod- est,” Sheriff went on. T out, A round or two settlad the bus- iness for the wolves outside, but there was & stroggle going on inside the milk house. The door was forced open. By the light of the moon they saw a man, with his back to the wall, fighting four hungry wolves with nothing but his hunting knife. The floor was piled deep with dead wolves, The man was rescued and helped n- to the house. He was covered with blood and Yis clothes were nearly all torn from him, It waa Ezekiel Mer ryweathor, but his black hair was as gray as a badger! CZek’l! said Melinsa, M'liss!" said Ezekiel, “And they were locked in one an other's arms. Then Ezekiel told how he had started to come to the wed- ding in spite of his feelings. how he was chased by wolves; how he fought them for two miles through the snow, and finally sought refuge in the spring house. The wolves clambered to the roof and let themselves down the chimney and closed in around him. Tho terror of the situation had turned his hair white, and he had been res- cued just in time. “In_the midst of the excitement created by Ezekiel's atory Melissa said: “‘Dad, this yer's the white-haired man I'm going to tie to.

The fellows were jealous because he cut ‘em out of the stone frolics and husk- ing bees. A family named Jobson had found their way “from somewhere or other in Jersey to that part of the country, and settled near the Monroe county border. Thero was old Job- son and his wife and his daughter Molissa. Jobson had uncovered about an acre of earth on his tract, and built him a house, a barn, a wagon shed, a spring-house,an observatory fifty foet high, and three miles of our foot wall with the stone the acre yielded. MELISSA A STUNNER. ‘‘According to the late Peleg Un- derhill, Molissa must have boen a stunner. She was way up 1n all the occun:flishmunh of the district, which ranged from turning a flapjack to picking a panther out of the tree with the old man’s flintlock rifle. The futimcn and pleasures of budding Pike county maidenhood in these days were few, and it were great reward for Melissa to got the promise trom her mother that if she would pile up 80 much stone wall {while she rested from pulling turnips, she could ‘shuck the hide off'n the next wolf that dad fotched in;' orif she cut and piled a suflicient quantity of stove wood be- foro she went to work hoeing the *taters, sho might hold the pig at the next Christmas killin’ while dad stuck it. ‘It was one day in the fall of 1801 that Kzekiel Merryweather firat struck the Jobson clearing, and met Melissa. Sho was having a holiday, and was enjoying it in shucking wolves. The wolf crop was good that season, and old Jobson's traps were generally full. Whether it was;the way Melissa yank- ed tho peeling off of the wolves, or whether it was her general atylo that did the business, Ezekiel foll in love with her at first sight. She fell in love with him, too,Japd he got to tak- ing in the Jobaon cloaring pretty re- gular on his hunting expeditions. Finally he asked hor to marry him, and she said she would. He laid the mn‘t,t::vrvhfifm her (lwld man, all, scarcely; you can't have M'liss,’ said Jubzun%' ‘No young Squirt of a bushwhacker don’t tie on to her if her dad know’s it, an’ her dad’s up to things what's goin’ on ‘round here pooty gineraly.

By and by Sim Smith .of Pocono met Melisss. Ho was on the upper side of 60, gray as o rat, and owned & farm. When he asked old Jobson far Melissa, Jobson said; ‘“‘Ye'wo draw'd the proper bead the fust time, Sim. Ye've hit me plump| back o the foro-shoalder. The gal's your'n,’ MASCH-MAKING WOLVES, ‘‘Melissa hadu't anything to say in the matter, and the wedding was fixed for Christmss Eve, On that night the populatian of three townships was at Jobsons—aixteen people in all. Old ’'S8quire Morgan wae there to tie the knot. Erekiel Merryweathor was the only absentee. It was a fine \moonlight night and as cold as Green- [land. The wedding was to come off at9 o'clock. Hvery little while the howling of wolves could be heard on all gides of the clearing. That was! aothing uncommon, though, and no- bedy thought anpthing of it.

We've got other business besides carin' for & passel o’ oruery wolves to-night; hey, Bim?" *‘The wolves came closer and olos- er. Their anarling could be heard in the houso, But no one ever took the trouble to look out of the window. The howling aud barking, an d snarl- ing kept on, and the soundshowed that the wolves were not moving. Mulissu went to the window and lqu- ed out, ‘““‘Why, dad,” said she, ‘them wolves has treed suthin’ in our spring house. They're thick aroun’ it, and some of 'em’s going down the chim- ney. ‘Bure enough,’ says Jobson, they've druv suthin' inter the spring house, sartin, Wall, boys, take yer guns.

Tho late Peleg Underhill used to say that the Jobson_clearing had the jolliest Christmas Kve that night that ever was known in this country.” The label on the the decanter disap- peared again, Again the gurgling meadow brook. A group of earnest men pass out into the frosty air, and the base burner beams alone on Cewvar and the decanters behind the bar. The Sheritf had told his Christmas atory.” Nearly a Miracle. E.

And how foolish and reckless that same agent would be to pretend that he knew anythitg about it. In days gone by, when the genial cir- cus man of Michigan, Joe Warner, was on the road as agent, he had the softest, sweetest way of approaching a publisher that was ever shown the atate. He knew withiu a dozen copies of what the circulation of each paper was, and he also knew what a three-column “‘ad” in this or that sheet would be worth to his show. One day he entered a weekly newspa- der office in Eaton county, shook hands all aroupd, threw down half a dozen cigars, and inquired: “Has your circulation since last year?” “Oh, yes—greatly increased.” ‘“‘Are you printing double what you wero last year?” “Well—ahem—well, I think we are.” “Shall we contract on the basis of 8,000 circulation?” ‘“Yes, I think we'd better. We may run a few under or over, but that's about the average.” Warner knew that the honest fig- urges were about 650, but he took out a contract, filled in some of the blanks, and said; “I shall have to look your mail list. 1If you go over 3,000 I must allow you for a circulation of 4,000.” ‘‘Oh, never mind that; 3,000 will 0. increased ‘‘But ny orders compel me to look at your list.” “Yes 1l - yes,” stammered the Eubl‘uher, a8 he hunted around among is exchanges. {Say, “Well?” ““I guess you needn’t make the con- tract on the basis of 3,000 circulation, but rather on increased influence among people who like to see a good show. It's too much trouble to find the list!” ““Then I must write in here that you have a circulation of 1,000copies,” ““All right.” “‘And the price will be the same as last year?” “Yes, Isuppase 8o, but T'll be hang- od1f I don’t ecirculate plump 6,000 copies on the next patent medicine man to make up for it. *The Commodore ” Joseph L.
