Ketehum in the Argonaut. 1 think it may be stated, without fear of successful contradiction, that at no period of a man’s existence does Cupid’s dart strike so deeply and cause so much sleaplessnoss as at the age of one score, or thereabout. - I have kuown quite a number of young men of avout that age to be deeply, passionately, desperately inlove, and ultimately to recover and go through similar but less agonizing experiences several times thereafter. But, as 1 said, they never, in a single in- stance, suffered half so much from sub- sequent attacks as from that first expe- rienc Not thutethey love less, but their capacity for suffering has dimin- ished—which i3 something to be thank- ful for, for & man who could suffer at each recurrence of the complaint as much as he did av the first would die of the second or third relapse. The victim of this first attack is a pitiable creature, particularly when thero are ‘‘obstacles,” which is usually the case. 1 always feel very sorry for a chap in this sort of a pickle, and” 1 felt partic- ularly sorry for poor Shorty Fleming. 1 knew 1 ought not to encourage him, but ho was such & good little beggar, and so much in earnest, that [ would have de- fied n fur more severe man thun his brother Juck for his sake. Besides, Shorty wis not one of the chaps who got over anything easily, and 1 knew failure would go hard with' him. Moreovor, Jack wus not the only “obstucle.” Sam Parker, Shorty’s Nettie's papa, also ob- jected. e was not a stern, unreasona- le parent, by any means. but his ob- jections, oven if presented goodnatured- y, wero none the less formiduble, Pa ker was u shrewd Maine Yankee, with a total disbeliel in the ability of woman- kind to use reason, and a record of some sixty yeurs of devotion to an earnest hustle for the fascinating but elusive American dollar. Nettie was the only dnufhwl- and the youngest child in a family of soven, and the old man, closo- fisted us he was, had spared no expense in educating her liberally. It was only natural, therefore, for him to object, es- pecially us Nettie was barely eighteen, and has only been out of school a few months, He called on Jack one afternoon, not casually, us he usually called,on his way to or from town, but with a direct pur- Jack was under the weather, and uy on the sofa. I was reading to him \\'Kon Parker walked in. “Howdy, Flemin’, laid up, air Howdy, i‘nba: purty warm, ain’tit? Thanks, I will set a spell.” And he sat down on the edge of & chair and an tracing figures on the floor with his big spur, He seewed nervous, and 1 rose to loave the room, but he waved his hand and said: “Set down, Faber. Set still. Guess I uin’t got nothin’ t' say but what vo mout ez well hear,” “ Here the old man stiffencd up in his soat und stated the object of his mission, ina Fmd natured, but thoroughly de- cided way, closing with: ‘‘Naow, Flomin’. 1 ain’t no "bjection to th’ leetlo feller—~not one mite; he's a tip- top good boy an’ all that. But ’tain’t in ronson th't I'm goin’ t' spena more’n three thousan’ dollars eddicatin’ a young un’, an’ then let or go an’ marry nother young ’un ‘thout ary red. An’ that’s what it'll come tew, fust thing we know. " Now, Parker’s remarks were in the nature of a revelation to us, Of course we knew Shorty had put in a good many evenings ut the Parker ranch, but we had never guessod that his visits there had any significance. A courtship, too, with six big brothers loafing around is adifficult matter. It is easy enough t fall—just fall—in love with a girl if there isno one to hinder., But with six young men, with whom one is on sood terms, sitting around and occupying a large portion of one’s attention, itisa matter of getting in love, which, nccom- plished, is rather more serious than a mere fall into the same. Fleming satup and ran his fingers through his hair geavely. Then: 1 with you, Mr, Parker. I quite agree l&(\u'l know what to say to Percy, but 1 will try a littlo strategy and see if he can bo kept at home more. If that won’t do, T'can talk to him.” And hero began my connection with Shorty’s love affm That evening 1 was writing busily when some one oponed the door to “my den and walked in. 1t was Shorty, Hesat downquietly and took up a paper, which he looked at for several minutes, while I scratched away at my work. Then he throw the paper down suddenly and turned to me with: “[abe what was old Parior here for today I tricd to dissemble, but Shorty is no- body’s fool, and interrupted: ‘O, rot:” said h I rockon youthink I'm a suck- er. Now honestly, what was he here for? inally, [ told him about the conver- sation between his brother and Parl He was gilent for several minute 1 could see his face twitch, Then he turned his face toward me and said,slow- ly: “Faber, I know I'm young and ull that, but—T know my own mind. Jack’s a good brother and feels in duty bound to take cave of me, but [ guess [ can ‘tend to that myself. T—I've made up mp mind to marry that girl, if she'll have me, and all the Jacks and Sam Parkors in the world_can’t stop me.” And Mr. Percival Fleming set his mouth and walked out. He called at Parker’s the next morning despite Jack’s “‘strategy.” There was another caller at Parker’s that evening, in the person of Morris Cottrell, o wealthy rancher from up the “Pive-Mile.” Shorty, when he got home, mentioned this fact to me, with somo feeling in his tones. Cottrell was no old dufl He was o man of 30, well- read, and u gentleman, und the prospect of having him for a rival would have t despair to the heart of any penni- ess young man less determined than Shorty Fleming. it FPor two ov three months Shorty con- tinued his calls at Parker’s, growing more and more gloomy and savage s the days went by, for old Sam Purker was something of a strategist, and man- aged to keep the poor lnd from getting a single private interview with Nettie, thereby giving Cottrell a clear ficld. which was evidently satisfactory to the latter, although he did not seem to muke much progress. One evening Shorty came to my room in a state of mind. He had seen Sam Parker that day Band the latter had told him, as gently as possible, some galling trutbs about his age and his penniless condition, concluding with the cheerful information that he “‘reckoned that Nev hed bout d’cided to take up with Cottrell, anyheow.” Of course Shorty was despondent, but he was none the less determined. “Faber, 'm going to see her tomorrow afternoon and—aud ask her.” The time and hour favored Shorty; but I hardly think Nettie knew her own mind. The boy who came riding slowly home through the shadows nexteve- was a very much downcast boy, indeed. He told me all about it, later; how Nettie had wavered,and finally tola him that she could give no annswer, She cared a great deal for him, she said, but she was not sure she 4 enough for him. Besides, her father objected to him, and she could never cross ‘her father’s wishes, when he had done so much for her Sam Parker must have heard of this interview. and made up his mind to do something. Although he was usually s0 good-natured, he w as determined as u bull dog, and [ thing he used some influence in deciding matters, for, two weeks later, he *dropped in” to tell Juck that Nettie and Cottrell would be married on Thanksgiving day, two months later. Shorty must have seen the news in my face, for, after supper, he drew me aside and asked what I knew. [ hated to tell him, but did so, the best wuy I could. The poor lad stood still as’stone for aeveral seconds. Then,with a shudder- ing sob, he turned away. In the morn- ing ho was gone, with his horse and clothes, leaving no word. Juck and Joe, the other brother, wore much worried, but, as Jack now for the first time acknowledged, “*the boy could take of himself.” Jack and I talked it over during the duy, and he expressed a great deal of re- gret, thinking, however, that Nettie had decided for herself, and that Shorty had no one to blame for his failure. **It it had been different,” he went on, “and Percy hud persevered and won, I would have given in, and [ think Parker would too, for next year Percy will come into about $15,000. You sce, T've never told him of it, because I wanted him to grow up on his merits and be self-velinnt, 1 think it bus been for the best. Joe never knew, until he was of age, that he had anything, and we didn’t tell Percy of it then, because he wus only seventeen. Joe put his money into the ranch here and kept quiet about it.” He sut silent for a miaute, then con- tinued: *'Of course, thisis between our- selves. But—do you know, I wish the boy had won. He's a gooa deal of a man, and, now I come to think of it, the affair has hit him bard, hey could have waited a couplo of years, you know.” And Jack walked off slowly, taking long whiffs at his pipe. Several wecks passed, during which I saw Nottie Parker several times. She seemed,different. Her laugh was oot the jolly laugh I hud been aceustomed to hear, und she seemed pensive at times, Was it her approuching wed- ding, or—Shorty? 1 hoped it was Sherty. But, somehow, when people pine they seem to lose color and get thin, and Nettie Parker did neither. And still no word from Shorty, and the duy for the wedding only a week away. It was Wednesduy of Thunksgiving week, und there had been great prepa- rations at Parker’s, The people for miles avound had been invited to the weading, which old Sam *“’lowed” would be “th’ bang- uppest thing wey ever hed in th' kentry,” 1 e into town to buy, on behalf of Jack and my- self, something to present to the bride- elect. Tu the postoftice, some one tapped we on the shoulder. 1 surned. It was Shorty Fleming—Shorty, with & hand- snfluu mustache, and smiling quite hap- pl “'How long before you're going out?” he asked. “Right vew.” THE “Bully! Faber, go and borrow a horse until tomorrow—tell 'em yours is lame, and you'll have to lead him. No- boly has recognized me back of this wvercoat collar and the hirsute adorn- ment, and I _don’t want ‘em io. “T'll walk out and head up tho road. Hurr) up with the horso Tn about twenty minutes I was follow- ing him, riding & horse I had borrowed from my friend the doctor, and leading my own. 1 soon caught up with Shorty, and we hurried on. Shorty showed mo a letter signed “Nettie,” and proceeded to unfold a plan he had in mind, which, for the quality of pure “nocve,” T had never heard surpassed. There was nobody at the houso but Manuel, the cook, and Shorty soon had nim sworn to silence, after which he procoeded to camp i the cold little up- stairs store room off my don, where no- body could find him. Jack was not to know of his presence, he said, ‘‘heonuse Jack is so thundering honest and persnickoty, and would squall or spoil the iuh,' . . - . The half-hundred guests at Parker's Thad been enjoying hanksgiving day to the full. Al of Mrs. Parker's good things had been stowed away where they would do tho most good. The minister from town was gotting rondy for the ceremony, and the guests were bustling about, amid some confusion, trying to find the best points for observation. Nettio Parker, pale for once, stood noar the front dopr, pulling her fingers nervously, waiting, suppos- cdly, for hov father. Some one knocked at the door. Nettio puiled it open, gave a little cry, grabbed a man’s hat from the back of a chair and an overcoat from a peg near by, and vushed out, slamming the door. ISvery- body who saw the performance stoc still, . Then, as we henrd horses’ hoofs clattering up the road, there was a rush for the outside. Up the road, disappearing fast, werc two horses, whose riders were evidently in a hurry. There was another rush—this time fc the stables—led by old Sam Parker. But, somehow, the doors would not open. They had been nailed up, very securely, by a person who was at that moment making hypocritical efforts to get ono of them open. VWWhen they finally succeeded in mount- ing two or three men for pursuit, the runaways had three or four miles start. At this juncture, Cottreil, as cool as if he had never thought of attending his own wedding, camo up and spoke quietly to old man Parker, who was so dazed that he had notopened his mouth so fai The old man started. “By gorry Morris, mebbe that’s c’rect. No us yowlin® over spilt milk. Come on bov: And they rode off, but not very rapidly. I told the old gentleman,’ remarked Cottrell to me, us we turned toward the house, *‘that it was nouse trying to head them off. They'li he married inside of an hour.” Then, in a tone that enter- tained no trace of bitterness, he con- tinued: It is far better to have happeued now than—than later. And—as s—I think maybe theve will be only one unhappy person, instead of three.” That was Morris Cottrell—philosopher and man. Mr. and Mrs. Percival Fleming were met at the ju o’s oftice by old Sam Parker, who remarked: Wa-al, 1 swow! Yew uir a nervy boy! Ain't ye both ashamed on’t?” No, they were not; and, after Nettic had had @ good ery in her father’s arms, the runaways were escorted back to the Parker ranch to recoive the congratula- tions of their friends, foremost among whom was Morris Cottroell.

This was Lwisted or modified iuto the farce, *“The Rebearsal,” by | the duke of Buckiogham, and ixom this wos evolved Sheridan’s “Critic.’’ ‘Iken came Carey's **Chrononbotonthologos,” which ab- suraity was revivea in London about elcven years 8go.

A good burlesqua of later years is ““The Threo Golden Apples,” by the Greok scholar, Talfourd.

[FROM TESTERDAY'S SRCOND EDITION.] NUST SIGN IT OR LEAVE IT President Harrison Has Written Promier Salisbury a Very Plain Note, SYNOPSIS OF THE LATE CORRESPONDENCE Sallshury Evades the Point and Raises Irrel- evant Ohjections—N Quibbling in the ~Will Be Sup- ported by the Senate, Prosident’s Reply Wasnixaroy, D, C, March 23.—]Spectal Telegram to Thr Bee.]—“If the modus vivendi is not renowed the president will not bo responsible for the consequences, This is the conclusion of President Harri son's rejoinder to the reply recoived from Lora Salisbury. It was this that caused tho grave senators in executive session this aftornoon to mark their approval by the most vigorous evidences they would give. Thoy believo it is tho only kind of talk which meets the situation, ana this could hardly vo more serious. The senate has been ready for tho signs of a vigorous policy on ths part of tho adminis- tration, but the positive tone in which the infermation seat to 1t by the president today was couchod caused a sensation. The presi- dent transmitted to tho scoate Lord Salis- bury’s note of March & and in doing so in- formed the senato that ho had sent an answer which will not be pleasant reading for tho British premier. Sulisbury’s reply is quite as unsatisfactory and ovasive as hat been declarod. nothing in it which shows a williugness to protect the seal. The president’s note is therefore, to the effect that if Great Britain, will not consent to a renewal of the modus vivendi, the United States will endoavor to anforce the protection of the seal on its own account. DIy atle but Clear, Salisbury’s note has 1 it soveral counter propositions, all tending to evade tho main point, which is the renewal of the modus vivendi. The president in his reply, which was delivered to Sir Julian Pauncefote last night, protests against 100 British premier's failuro to meet tho situation squarely. Ho dectaves that the United States can nocent nothing less than a renewal of the modus vivendi, without regard to irrclovant condititions. Ho statos n diplomatic language, but with clearness, that if Great Britain is not ready to co-operate in protect- ing the seals ponding arbitration tho United States will do so, and wili exhaust every Ho delicately points ou will be responsible for whatever complications may arise. ‘T'here 15 nothing of bluster. It is merely a formal anuouncement to the British premier of tha alministration’s intentions to uphoid Ameri- can rights. that Great Britain The rejoinder of the president is not an ul- | timatum and des not end diplomatic corre- spondence, because there is no occasion for this, T Ber is able to state tho full sub stance of Lord Sulisbury’s vonly and of the president’s rejoinder. Satisbary’s I asive Answer, Lord Sahsbury in specific terms declines to renew tio modus vivendi on the grounds heretofore st forth by him, that the scal is in no danger of extinction, because the Brit- Ho follows this up with the additional objection that if it were agreed this semson, Great Nritain would probably have to renmew it for & number of seasons, which sho coula not do in justice to her subjects engaged in sealing. Tho reason for this, according to Lord Salis- bury, would be the impossibility of gotting a decision from tho arbitrators for several years. Ile recitos somo of the difiiculties in the way of Bering sea arbitration, and as an illustration of the slowness with which arbi tration proceeds, cites the adjucication of the trouble between Great Britain and Por- tugal, which he says has been going on four years, Coming back to his refusal to renew tne modus vivenai, Lord Sulisbury makes a novel suggestion. 1t is that the United Statds ex- act a boud from the sealers before they start out and in return obligato itsell to indemuify toem il the arbitrators find against it. ke does nov offer for Great Britain to give the boud, but suggests it as a matter to be ur- ranged between the United States and the sealers, No Quibbling About This, President Harrison in his rejoinder e prossos ragret thut Lord Salisbuvy is still dependiug on the Enghsh experts to justity his refusul to renew the modus vivendi pending arbiiration, when it is the arbitra- tion tribunal that must pass on the conditions of seal life aud give the proper weight to the findings of experts on both sides. He makes knowa his surprise that the British premier should be so fearful of delay in the arbitration, and sugeest thatga prompt renewal of the wodus vivendi would be one guarantceing early action, But ho shows that the whole subject can be arbitrated in a reasonable time. Tho president displays a familiarity with the Portuguese case cited by Lord Salisbury, and bo politely calls the premior's attention to the fuct that the arbitration bas been going on uol four years, but one year ouly, He therefore does uot think ita case in point, ‘Tne president confesses his surprisc at Salisbury’s suggestion of the United States exacting a bond from the Canadian scalers. He pertinontly inguires by what means it is o bo done, Some space is mven up Lo] Ox posing the utterly ridiculous nature of this proposition, 1t is after summing up the case and show- ing the evasive eharacter of all Lord Sulis- bury's propositions that the president con- cludes with the statement 1hut if the modus vivendi is mot remwoved the United States will not be responsible for the consequences. Senntors Will Support Him, The president's messsge was sentin for the information of the foreign relatious com- mittee. It did not call for any action by the serate, but the documents were read in vrder that the senators might understand just wha the developments ure. Tae scoators are fully satisfied that Salisbury is not acting in aocod faith, and they believe tuat avy lack of firmness on the part of the United States now would ba a practical abandonment of the American claims. The documents were roferred to the foreigu relations commitice, It1s known tuat Scostor Sherman has drawn up a resolution for the ratitication of tho trouty, and that the foreign relations commitieo will probably report 1t favorably 1t will be accompanied by & condition for the renewal of the modus vivendi.
