MY CONKESSION. Leon Mead, in New York Star: Though living at some distance from the city, I was sufficiently in touch with urban life to be spaved the appellation of a rustic. Vet I was called un eccen- trie man because, being something of an experimentalistis, [ dom did things like my neighboes. They re- garded me as a havmless zealot, and in the comnunity [ was cterized as “better than fool av. Buav [ never mnded the opinions of my follow citi respecting myself. Yoear after penr [ went on expavimosnting with my ives, my grapa vines, my fruit trees and my crops. To be entirely frank, my knowledge of IHorace, my subse iptions to three Itural pap and my only untiv- devotion to the more scientific farmic 1 not tmo y. Whilo not aspiving” to p afortune in agriculture, I daved tohops for a moderats monetary -suc cess from the application of approved modern methods to ageicultural affaivs. But they did not appear to sucesed. " At the end of cach year I found myself somewhat poarer than [ had been af the beginning. Despite my industry, my deres did notithrive. Whilo I was deep in the study of ensilage and other interesting matters, my produce gur became choked with weeds and nettles, and while T was eradicating them by hand (& laborious process requiring a fortnight’s steady toil) my little dairy of six cows died, one by one, of an epidemic which other sufferers like my- gelf called by a great variety of names. So matters went from bad to worse, and finally, being cramped for a little ready moncy, my small balance in the First National bunk of Centerville—the nearest town—having been graduatly withdrawn, L hegan to ponder how could r the necessary amount with- out borrowing or mortgnging my farm. At last I deci four carrier p1geons, which some theee years before had been presented to me by a friend who had procured them in Italy. He assured me that originaily they had belonged to a Neopolitan count, who, while imprisoned for a crime, had used them as messengers between him- self and his lady lov This count, it is said, did little else during his incarcer- ation but indite burning epistles to the fair senovita and dispatch them to her by these pigeons, which kept fly- & from the prison to his sweetheart’s lla and hm:L by day and n The senorita, of course, respond aach impussioned yow of her captive lover, and to ench of her perfumed noies was at- tached a scarlet ribbon, which was tied o the tail-feathers of the faithful car- uss Neapolitans who lived in the neigh- borhood of the prison used to stand in the street for hours watching the pig- eons set forth from and return through the narcow second-story window of the cell occupied by the count. This was one of the iuteresting sights in Naples. Finally, the count died suddenly while in thoe uet of addressing one of his most ardent declarations to the senorita, and his property, including the pigeons, was publicly sold to redeem his debts. Whaut became of the fair senovita I have never heard. Perhaps she lan- guished away in a convent. My friend happened to in Naples'at the time of ‘the sale of the count Gracedo's effects, and he bought the pigeons at o rather extravagant price. But each one was indeed & rara avis, As I have said, he presented them to me—in remembrance of our close friend- ship formed while at college, On ac- count of the romantic story he rvelated concePning them, I nlways had dearly prized them.since becoming their pos- sessor. And now, though I needed money, | keenly disliked the idea of parting with them. In my bachelor oneliness they had been excellentcom- panions. Thraughout my forty-five yours' existence I never have been especially fond of domestic pets, but these pigeons won my tender affections from the start, and L'trust £ shall not be cousidored vaiwif I hint that my feelings were charmingly reciprocated by them, They lived as much in- doors as out, They followed me to JAhe fields and indulged in _their own instinetive pastimes when I was 100 busy 0 pay them uttention, but they were never far away from me. At night when [ went to iy echamber to read, or into my adjoining homemude laboratory to fuss, they accompanied me, and, lifivluh.g on my shouleer, would oo and pose in the most pigu- antly affectionate manner. 1 called them respectively “Josephine,” after a young lady for whom I once entertained asentimental but futile regard, and ‘Tobius,” after u favorite deceased uncle; *Penelope,” after a married sis- tor und “Ralph, alter my friend who guve me the pigeons, After they thoroughly knew wmal tested their training by taking them one day into a hillside forest about four wiles distant from my home and leav- ing them in eharge of my farm boy, who saccompanied me, with instructions to o' the life | 1 hastene: back to my nouse h I reached he- fore the Foyr was up, and getting 1 briarwood pipe and tobacco pouch soated mysell on the veranda to await | the coming of my treasures.

"rue, in my college days and afterward, while [mingled with the world money frecly —too froely, in fact, for a man whose fegacy had been bat $20,000, But, fortunateiy for me, at about the time I had neavly run through my in- heritance I began to thirse for scientitic knowledge. [ purchased a farm rly two hundred aeres and a consid- able number of hooks,and in this w setticd down. I entertained a vague notion thut I could become an accomp- hished scientist and a practical farmer at thoe same time, 1 desived money to give my younger brother,a worthy aspirant for legal houors, who was suffer from whut is commonly known as aract of the eyes. Thistrouble had become so s 0us ns to require him to consult an oca- list, who ha him to submwit to an Jack wrote me the to me for money to pay for the “My wholo " he wrote, cnds upon this operation, which Dr. Powell as- sures ma he can sfully perform.

With that sum I think I can manage it, as [ have a little laid away to meet my board, luundry bills, ete.” [ eaniot seo to write this—so my friend Lawrence Shipley, is kindly act- ing as my amanuensis,” It is unneces to observe that this letter touche y heart. I had not heara from Jack before in nearly three months, He was a pushing, independ- dent, clever fellow, aud [ never had had any oceasion to worry about him, excoptin regard to his poor eyesight. But previous to the receipt of his letter 1 had not known how bad it was getting. Of course, T resolved to provide ck with the mone, S5 A X e farm [ »uld not have allowed to stand in the v of furnishing him with asststance in his exigeney. ~ But being a man of middle age and not as practical as the law will allow a man to be,and also sensitive as to my shortcomings in this vespect, [ veally huted to give up my farm. After much reflection T hit upon the expedient of disposing of my cherished pigeons. The very afternoon [ eived ’s letter I worded an advertisement ert in the Centerville Weekly Farmerand Rural Companion, and plac- g it in an envelopa, with n note to the editor requesting him to send nis bill for the same, gave it to Jim Blood- good, the stage driver, to deliver, as his rocking vehicle rattled along the dusty turnpike in front of my house about sun set. 'I'he notice ran as follows: **Gor- don Hildreth, Isq., of Weaver Valley, offers for sale four beautiful carrvier pigeons, with a history. For terms in- quire of the owner.” On the following Saturday morning T was sitting on my veranda after having en a frugal breakfast, prepaved as usual by my housekeepe Priscilla Dudley, when o lively team and buck- board, whose approach from the direc: tion of Centreville, ever siuce it ap- peared in sight over the knoll on South Hill T had been watching, turned into the lane leading up to my modest domieil. This unusual circumstance at once dirvected my attontion to the sole occupunt of the conveyance, whose form und features wera now plainly visible. He was a trifle stoop shoul- dered, wore a dvab colored slouch hat and un outer cont of the sume hue, and, though it was July, thick buckskin gloves. A nearly exhuusted and poorly Tighted cigar rested in one side of his rather capacious and sensuous looking mouth, He did not glance at me or nt my house during the time he was d ing up the lane, which coverod a dis- tanze of 200 yards from the turnpike. Even wheén he stopped obposite my threshold his gaze w rveflectively in- clined downward, He climbed clum- sily out of the buckboard, for he was heavy man, put his whip in its iron socket and ‘eurled the veins carefully around the whip. Then, after pattini the flank of the nigh horse and testing the secuvity of the nearest front wheel of the buckboard, he turned sedately and, looking unconcernedly at me, said: **Mr, Hildreth, [ believe.” That is my name, sir,” I replied, amubly “1 notic panion vigeons to sell. l’ulleu. L look at 'em “Very well,” [ said, “Come up and take a chur ana I will call the pig- eons,’” . He slowly ascended the stens of the eranda without speaking. I knew my itor by reputation as a bird fancier and dealer, ana I reflocted with a joyful thrill that he would not have been likely to drive all the way from Center- ville, nineteen miles, just to see my pigeons. A peculine’ whistle which I made brought the four birds at once. As usual they lighted on my arm, *They look like the genuine article,” abserved Me. Pullen, after gazing at them for several moments, during which I had briefly navrated their his- tory to hum. He showed no disposition to higgle. He offered me #100 for the four pigeons, and after a reproachful moment [ accepted the offer. My pets were placed in a wooden cage which Mvr, Pullen had brought with him under the seat of buckboard, As he was about leaviug, he admitted that he had heard of my pigeons from different par- ties, and that fie had been desirous of gaining possession of them. After Mr. Pullen went away I felt thor- oughly ashamed of myself for having surrendered my beautiful birds to a stranger who desired theu only for a speculative object, But when I thought of poor Jack and the help the $100 would be to him, my self-reproach, so to speak, evaporated, The next day I for- warded the money to my brother, and in my letter fraternally oxpressed the earnest wish thut the proposed oper- ation would prove successful, 1 About four days after I had disposed of my pigeous, 1 recesved a startling d in this weelk’s Rural Com- that you have some carvier My name is' George !.'huu;,'ht T'd come up ana OMAHBA DAILLY | mos: for myself, I spent | of | | on business.

Toth peal my sister Penclope d a pitiful supplication for financial veiief, making astrong point by refercing to her two children who, she said, would soon be in want of a crost of bread to keep their little bodies and souls together, 1f 1 did not heed this petition. 'I'hat part of the letter written by Horace wns couched in less doleful words and dis played a more practical view of the situntion. He thought $3,000 would set him on his feet, thoagh thatamount did not cover all his liabilitics. But he hoped to gain the renewal of certain notes ngainst him, in which case, with the $5,000, he conld continue work in nis factory and within afew months re- doem his obligation to me. This was far more serious than my brother Jack's molest request, but T was just as anx- ious 1o comply with it. 1t was cloar that [ would he obliged 1o mortgage my farm whether [ conld raisa the necessary amount in this way, [ immediately sent word to Squire Willoughby, the richest man in the township, who lived mile up the valley. to come and see me He rode down after supper that dav, and [ told him w I wanted.

Late that afternoon I was in wmy garden, hoxing my pots ch and wondering how [ might secure the nd- i 1 $100 to make up the even y sister Penelopo and her hus band desived, when suddeuly I became aware that somothing had lighted on my vight shoulder. Turning, I Josephine. T could casily recogniz by the golden brown ring round her neck. Yes, here ~was my favorite pigeon. Josephine re [ had time to salute her, the other three were scrambling for the best resting place on my shoulders. I at once dropped the hoe and made for the house overjoyed at the unexpected re- turn of my pets, which seemed equally clated at having found me. *Where did you come from?” “How did you getaway?” ‘‘Are you not afraid that ou are?”’ These were some of the inquiries I ad- dressed them as I approached the house. The only answer they gave me was an affectionate satistied coo, as they nestled closer to my neck. It was a picasure indeed to have my pigeons back again. After we bad enjoyed a y spell as of old, I became medita- reasoned to myself that the ould not have *escaped from He had dealt too long in mens of the feathery kingdom for such a thing to be probable. The most plausible inference was that they-had erted the party to whom Mr. Pallen ld them. Was it likely that thi would endeavor to re: them Yes. and would he not naturally go to Mr. Pulien to ascertain from whom he had obtained them, and then coma to me with the question: “Have you scen anything of the four ecarrior pigeons you sold the other day Lo George Pullen of Centreviile?” That, too, seemed likely. At this point in my reflection, I was seszed with the first dishonest thought which I think ever crossed' my mind. The first wn of any considerable size north of where Ilived was Truc ton, twenty-two miles distant. It was larger by some 4,000 inhabitants than Centerville,with which it was connected by a stage route. Between these two towns 1 had divided my patronage among the stores, and, if anything, 1 was bettor acquainted in Truckton than in the other place. I knew of a man in "rucicton who kept a large bird estab- lishment, and I now conceived the idea of going to him und teving to sell the figures I did not pause to consider the total lack of honesty involved in this my whole mind being concen- ted uponthe wish to procure the 000to send wy unfortunate kindred. The stage from Centerville usually 1 my house on its way to Truckton morningat about 10 0’clook. With v 1 rofully concealed from sight, in a bundle so arranged as to fur- h them sufficient air, I hailed the driver of the Truckton-bound stage on the following morning. and mounted to the vacant seat beside him. During the journey T attempted to maintain my usual composure, and to forget as far as possible, the ure of my errand, but my conscience, like the proverbial kingly crown, wouid not easily rest. Haunted by the fear that my double- desding would be detected, and thus bring me to disgrace, my manner and words must huve seemod artificially gy to the stage drivar, though he gave forth no sign that he suspected me of any mysterious purpose. Arriving in Truckton, T at once pro- ceeded to the shop of Mr. Sinclair, the bird dealer. Without waiting to ex- change the enstomary commonplaces, [ undid my bundle and explained to him that the four pigeons that flew out were for sale. “The birds,” T “a8 you can see, mens3 histor; Mr. Sinclair * closely scrutinised the oirds, and asked: **What is their his- tory?” I the reupon related to him the story of the pigeons, to which he listened at- tentively, but with a slight expression of ineredulity. When I had finished he rather indifforently inquired my price for them. Ireplied that T valued them at 8150, which sum he pooh-hoed as al- together too exorbitant. After consid- erable bickering he agreed to give me 8125, which I accepted. I then left his shop secretly pleased at the success of my roguer, Squire Willoughby’s check for $2.900 I had in my pocket. That and $100 had exchunged at a Truckton bank for #3,000, made out to the order of my brother-in-law, Horace Dunbar, to whom I immediately mailed it. T re- turned home on_the Centreville stage, and for several days ufterward I kept myself very closely indoors, allowing my m boy, John Sanders, to perform all the duties dertaining to the farm. Only" under coyer of darkness would I steal out for my usual exercise, and fre- quently [ cut short my walk by reason of a vague foar that I' was being fol- lowed. Duving this period my life was misorable, and I learned for the first time that conscience not only makes a coward of & man but tortures him worse than avy bodily pai I was somewhat consoled, however, for my dishonest transaction with Mr, Sinclair, by the veceipt of a letter from Penelope and Horace—a letter full of tender gratitude and thanks for the relief I had afforded them; and, finally, I gave up brooding my _infamous deed, and soothed my conscicnee with the resolve that as s00n as possible 1 would trace the parvy to whom Mr. Pullen had sold the pig- eons and reimburse him for their loss I now began to take an interest in my nervously remarked, are very fine speci- They have sir, a remarkable The only doubt was | out a | day the papers | he |} SULDAY, DECEMBE farm and. instead of ddfoting so much of my time to my beehivds and w0 the care of my fruit trees, T labored hard | like au ordinary farm hand at tilling the soil.

Upon veach- ing the h use Priscilla handed me a letter, which had been left by the post- man during the day. Iopened the let- ter which was from Jack, and read as follows: W YORK, Aug. 10, 18—, Dear Brother : Tum now in the hospital and getting along pretty well, the physicians The oporation was performed last es must be ket bandaged 1 was obliged to come to [ the hospual in order to obtuin the necessary | care which my case demunds.

In conclusion. I will say that the man who purchased the four pigeons of Mr. Pullen has boen paid $175 by me, that being the price he paid Mr. Pullen for them.
