HE HORO
EXPOSITOR.
A FOOT) -RACE FOR MONEY.
BY EDWARD EGGLESTON.
"The Hoosier School Boy " is the
title of one of Eggleston's latest books.
It gives, in a very attractive and intent
eating manner! an account of " school --
keeping," forty or fifty years ago.
A boy named John or,"" Jack " Dudley
is the leading character. Many very
interesting sketches of his school -life, at
Greenback, are given. He was always
on the side of right. ` He got into many
quarrels with larger boys in his defence
of those younger than himself. Be-
sides he was one of the best -behaved
and most industrious boys in the school.
Jack's father before his death, had
been persuaded to release a mortgage in
order to relieve Francis Gray from
financial distress. Gray had promised
to give other security, but his promises
had proven worthless. Since that time
he had made lucky speculations, and
was now a man rather well off, but he
kept all his property in his wife's name.
All:t'hat Jack and his poor mother had
to show for the one thousand dollars,
with four year's interest, due them was
a judgment against Gray, with the
sheriff's return of " No effects" on the
back of the writ.
After the breaking up of Mr. Ball's
School at Greenback, on account of some
severe- punishment which he inflated.,
Jack Dudley, with two friends attended
for a short term at Mr. Niles' school at
Port William, a small village a few
miles down the river. They rented an
old hoase from Judge Kane, a wealthy
farmer, and boarded themselves. The
Judge took a great interest in the boys,
and his wife added much to_ their com-
fort and support. •
Judge Kane drew from Jack a fall
aceonnt of his affairs, and particularly
of the debt due from Gray.
"If you could get a few hundred dol-
lars,, so as to make your mother feel
easy for a while, living as she does in
her ow -n house, yon could go to, school
next winter. "
" Yes, and then I could get on after
that somehow, by myself, I suppose, "
- said Jack. "" But the few hundred dol-
lars is as much out of my reach as a
million would be, and ' my father used
to say that it was a bad thing to get
into the way of figuring on things that
we could never reach. '''
The Judge sat still, and looked at.
Jack ont•of his half-closed gray eyes for
a minute in silence.
" Come up to the house with me he
said:, rising.
Jack followed him to the house,
where the Judge opened his desk and
took out a red -backed memorandum
book, and dictated while Jack copied in
his own handwriting the description of
a piece of land on a -slip of paper.
If you go over to achool to -.morrow
an hour earlier than usual," he said,
"' call at the county clerk's office, show
him your memorandum, and find out in
whose name that land stands. It is a
timber -land five miles back, and worth
five hundred dollars. When yon get the
name of the owner, you will know what
to de,. if not, you can ask me, blit you'd
better not mention my name to any-
body in this matter."
Jack thanked Mr. Kane, but left him
feeling puzzled. In fact, the farmer-
judge seemed to like to puzzle people, or
at least he never told anythingmore than
was necessary.
The next morning, the boys were off
early. Jack wondered if the land might
belong to his father, but then he was
sure his father never had any land in
Kentucky.Or, was, it the property of
some dead uncle or cousin, and was he
to find a fortune, like the hero of a
cheap story ? But when the county
clerk, whose office i:t is to register deeda
in that county, took the little piece of
paper, andafter scanning it, took down
some great deed -books and mortgage-
-, books, and turned the pages awhile, and
then wrote " Francis Gray, owner, no,
incumbrance," on the same slip with
the description, Jack had the key to Mr.
Bane's puzzle.
About the same time, Mr. Tinkham,
Gray's agent, called on Mrs..Dndley, at
Greenback, and offered her one hun-
dred and fifty dollars for her claim
against Gray. .This she refused. Mr.
Beal, her lawyer, upon learning Jack's
news about the land in Kentucky, ad-
vised her to record the judgment imme-
diately
" They've got wind of something, "
said Mr. Tinkham to Mr.Gray, or else
they are waiting for you to resume pay-
ment—or else the widow's got mouey
from somewhere for her present neces-
sities."
"- I don't know what hope they `can
have of getting money out of me,.''' said
Gray, with a laugh. " I've tangled.
everything up, so that Beal can't find a
thing to levy on, I have but one piece
of property exposed, and that's not in
this State.
" Where is it ? " asked Tinkham.
" It's in Kentucky; miles back of Port
William. 1 took it last week in a trade,
and havn't yet made up my mind what
to do with
" That's the very thing'saidTinkham,
with his little face drawn to a point—
"" the very thing. Mrs Dudley's son
came home from Port William yester-
day, whore he has been at school.
They've heard of that land, I'm afraid ;
for Mrs. Dudley is very positive that
she will not sell the claim at any price."
" I'll make a mortgage to my brother
on that land and send: it off from the
mail -boat eel go down to -morrow," said
Gray.
"" That'll be too late said Tinkham.
"Beal will have his judgment recorded.
as soon as the paoket gets there. You'd
better go by the packet, get off and see
the mortgage recorded yourself, and
then take the mail -boat."
To this Gray agreed, and the next day
when Jack went on board the packet
" Swiftsure," he found Mr. Francis
Gray going, aboard also: Mr. Beal head
warned Jack that he must not let any-
body from the packet get to the clerk's
office ahead of him—that the first paper
deposited for record would take the land.
Jack wondered why Mr. Francis Gray
was aboard the packet, which went no
farther than. Madison, while Mr. Gray's
home was in Louisville. He soon guess-
ed., however, that Gray meant to land;
at Port William, and so determined toy
head him off. jack looked at Mr.
Gray's form, made plump by good feed-
ing, and felt safe. He couldn't be very
dangerous in a foot -race. Jack reflected
with ranch hopefulness that no boy in
school could catoh him in a straight-
away r 'n when he, w fox. H
would oertai ly I=av ' he somewh
