THE DILEMMA OF DANIEL.
BY RUTH HALL.
" Wot ye //pin' t' do now, Dan'el ?" Sam
Norton asked l He leaned forward as he
spoke aud peered up into the other's face
with little, tviinkling, inquisitive eyes.
• It was a dull and hopeless November
night.' A heavy gray sky hung low above
them. Rain fell, - from time to time, in
spiteful spurts upon the sodden leaves
through which their horses made their way
down the long hill road. Farmer Wilson
was not used to driving in a covered car-
riage, nor•sitting by himself behind • closed
doors while some one else beld the reine,bust
it was considered a proper- mark of respect
to Sarah Ann. He must hire a livery team
for the funeral; Sam Norton had told him
so, and had further hinted that it would be
but decent to invite the speaker to a seat
beside him.
"Ye know me 'n her was connected by
marriage," ayes his plea.
The principal mourner had consented, al-
though ,he did not like Sam Norton ; he
thought he was spiteful. This was the first
speech Sam had made since the hearse and
its following turned away, from the country
cemetery, and it did not eerve to lighten
the gloom in which the ber aved man was
plunged. •
I do' know," he said, dully, shaking
his head covered with an unusual beet
hat; " seems if I'm all lost 'thout Sarah
An n."
"She kep' house for • ye a number o'
years."
" Twenty-five, come Chris'mus. I ain't
never known wot 'twos t' be alone before
ranee ma died."
"1* was handy," Stnt conceded, "t' have
her man taken away jest before your mo-
ther. Looked roost Providential, didn't it ?
Ye won't find no sech man'ger as she was in
one while ag'in, I tell ye. Wot a ohurnin'
she,,ed do 1 An' she always kep' ye lookin'
BO/ good. Ye'll find out the diff'runoe
nOw. Your- collar's beginnin' t' fray. I
seen while we was bending over for t' last
prayer. Ye'll soon see your clothes goini t'
pieces." ,
He smiled toothlessly, at what appeared
to be s keen enjoyment of the situation.
Daniel was goaded by it into an assump-
tion of confidence that he was fir from feel-
ing. .
"1 (mitigate t' hire," he said, ooldly. "Of
COUTSO I know no one can't do like a man's
own sister, an' I s'pese it'll cost like Jehu,
but I've got money 'fluff. 'Tain't that.,"
"Land alive," expostulated Sam, grin-
ning 'afresh, "ef ye ain't green. if ye
s'pose any nice women 'ud come t' do fer ye,

ed her brother, "we hadn't no chance t'
make plans. I never gi;we it a thought, my-
self. Don't ye -think Priscilly Wynkoop-
ehe's real old-"
Sani shook his head decidedly. "They're
the worst kind, them old maids, No, sir ;
they ain't a decent woman In the town o'
Hunter wot 'd do it." ,
• "Then-wot shall I do ?" desperately.
" Git Married." The grin widened.
Daniel shook hia hest hat again. ,,
" No, sir," he said. "None o' that fer
" Beggars can't be ohoosers," Sam dealer -
ed. " Ye've got t' do it."
"‘ You ain't."
"
Well, I'm diffrant," with a complac-
ency hat was maddening to the unfortun-
ate m n beside him. "1 ain't got afarm to
run. I kin board, 'n look lafter the store
daytimes. That's all right. Only, ye see,
you're aituated eo onhandy. Ye've got to
have ik geed man'ger around. Now, the
question is, ,who is she? I've b'en studying
it up consisPable."
" Oh, ye'have," growled Daniel, not ap.
,
peened by this show of interest. Who've
ye pitched on ?" • .
"Wa, they's the widder Sals'bry-"
"1 muet say ! Deaf'n adder, n weighs
nigh onto three hundred pounds. I'm much
obligedvit it: Le' ye d.
'y Peter then-..-"
"A little withered old woman with a wig.
'Ain't,ye got no sense, Samuel ?':
" Wel, they ain't so , many likely wim-
men going. You're terrible particular for
anybody so hard put, How 'bout Prispilly
Wynkoop?"
Daniel was glad that they were dri ing
into his own dooryard. He sprang hur ied•
ly out, slamMed the door with his clumsy
fingers, and did not answer Sam. There
was no invitation to enter the 'des late
housie, and Sam drove away.
" Ye'd better be gittin' about yer courtin',
whoever it is, he called back, leering rom
the carriage window.
Daniel went upstairs to don his over lls,
and set about his chores for the night.
" Durn it all," he muttered, as he mi ked
the cow, "1 don' know how t' go t' w rk ;
I ain't no hand with wimmen."
rt was the manner ouly that puzzled iim
now. He had decided upon his oh ice.
Years ago, when they both were young he
had "paid attention to Priscilla Wynkoop
and had been graciously reoeived. Then
his mother interfered. She did not veish
him to marry, and he was dependent upon
her. Perhaps the disappointment embitter-
ed him; at any rate he had long been cop -
tent with his life upon thie lonely farm, ie..
mote from most of his kind, and had no de-
sire for a change.
But, since Sam had put what he mentally
stigmatized as "that blamed idee" into his
head, he considered with sudden pleasure
the possibility of winning Priscilla for some-
thing more than housekeeper or general
manager. It was the wooing that counted.
He thought it ever while setting out his
lonely supper of strong tea and the pumpkin
pie that had been sent in. While he munch-
ed he ruminated.. -1
What' did men, say, and how did they
aot ? He could Piot make a bargain with
Priscilla as though he were buying her Jer-
sey cow.
Must be some dumb nonsense 'r
pother," he grimly concluded. " Howiloes
it go ?"
After "clearing away," he seated himself
drearily over the kitchen stove to await hie
early bedtime. 4 paper covered book lay
on the shelf. He picked it up idly -it- had
been Sarah Ann's -and opened it at random.
It was a oonventioPal paper -backed love tale
by "The Duchess.'I'
Eight o'clock struck, and nine, and ten.
Still Farmer Wileon pored over hi n book,
holding it close to his sun -burned feet* and
breathing heavil3r over the lunfamiliar
words. Midnight came. At one o'clock
he laid down the bulky volume with a sten-
torian sigh. He knew how the nonsense
went.
All the rest of that feverieh, never -to -be -
forgotten night, theoughout broknn and
feverish slumbers, ran such phrases aii these:
" Oh,,dny beautiful darling, you will . not be
so cruel, "you must see how madly I love
sou," "Remember bow desolate my life has
been."
The last sentence tangled itself in his
memory.
" That's true " said the -wretched man
once, aloud, " jail the rest is a pack of
lies."
The next day he ret himself doggedly t
learn hie lesson. Over and over the word
were conned. He went about with the
book in his hand, or lumbered heavily bac
to it from whatever else hie work might be
In fact, he dared not think of anything els
save the task laid out before him, for fes
that hie purpose might falter before the di
impression haunting him throughout that h
was a fool.
He dressed himself carefully, after a
early supper, and marched out of the dor
and down the road. Priscilla Wynkoop s
little unpainted cottage stood olose to t e
highway. Daniel, his lips moving in case
less reiteration, knocked tremulously up n
the door. He hoard steps coming tower s
him. He felt all hands and feet. The e
was a suffocating lump in his throat.
A tall, spare spinster drew the door ca
tiously ajar and gazed out into the glo m
through her spectaelea.
" Good-eninin'," her visitor blurted out in
a loud, agitated voice. "Oh, my beauti ul
darling, you know -you must ice how m cl-
ly I love you,
• and-and-rememer h w
desolate mylife has been."
Miss Wynkoop held a hand -lamp atret h -
ed out in one arm. She brought it closer to
stare into his face by its aid.
"Remember how desolate," Daniel -
peated.
,Miss Priscilla put up her free band to rub
her forehead. Was he drunk, or crazy, or
making fun of her? He saw the gesture a d
interpreted it aright.
"Darn th' hull dumb thing," he sudde ly
broke out. "I'm jest -I feel -sakes, h w
lonesome I be !"
" Daafl," said Miss Wynkoop,eyeing h m
closely, but speaking in a quiet voice, do
ye want I sh'd marry you?'
"Yes; Priscilly," wiping hie forehead, "I
do."
She stood aside fOr him to pass. " Co e
in," she said. ." I was jest settin' down to
supper. It'll be nice and cozy to h ve
comp'ny, 'n I've got some cold pork aid
beans.'
She led the way to the kitchen. He f I -
lowed with heart as light as hie footfall as
heavy.
"Take a seat 'n draw up," said Miss
Wynkoop, bospitably-• "flow ye mus' iss
Sarah Ann,"
" Yes." He sank into a chair. " Th m
beans '11 relish."
And so they were engaged. -Kate Fiel

• [THE END ,
A Bit of War Romance,
BY W. J. LAMPTON.
" -a mason," saki the man of soldie ly
bearing, when the drummer had finished a
yarn, and am also a soldier, or was in t e
late war between the States. I was a
general of brigade' in the union army, a d
saw some of the romance as well as the e -
silty of war."
"There was more reality than roman e
about it, wasn't there ?" queried the dru
mer.
"Rather," smiled the soldier, " but it
made the romance only the more delightf 1.
I remember on one occasion when we we e
dowdjn Georgia, where most of the offic
seekeri come from now, I was out one mor
ing withe a couple of orderlies, riding alo
hillsidt road, which jut aheadof us m
another eoming up from the valley. As e
rode slowli along I heard the eound of a
borse's hoofs on the road below and t e
clanking of a saber. Node of the enemy n
fore was anywhere near that locality, and
I felt sure that some stray oonfed was le -
ing that way, and we went ahead till e
could command a view of the road bele
and in a minute a confederate officer
a brand new uniform, bright trappings an
a fine asiord came by on a beautiful hors
He was a handsome fellow, and all unco
seisms of his danger, was whistling a merr
air. Of course we must capture him, b t
how to do it was/a-question at first, but w
soon settled on t quiet little ambuscade, an
in five minutes more we had him covered
and he threw up his hands. A more crest-
fallen prisoner I never saw than that young
fellow, and Ifelt sorry for him, but I ooul
do nothing but take him along. We hadn'
gone far until he got next to me, with bot
orderlies riding some yards in a.clvance
and he gave me a sign. I recognized it o
the spot."
We are masons,' he said, 'and I 'wan
to tell you my story. I know I've got n
business over here, practically in your lines,
but I'm not on a mission of war, but one of
love and peace, You eels how I'm tricked
out in aiii the best I've got' -and he smiled
oonsolon ly and bliished-`and I expected
to be married this afternoon. The girl is
waiting for me now, and don't you think it
is pretty bard on me for to be in this fix.
I had no idea your troops were so near or I
should have slipped'in in the night and got
out. again, but its too late to talk about
thit now. You've got mo and her heart
, will be breaking while I am shut up in some,
prison, and it won't be much satisfaction
to you, will it? •
1 By George I" went on the general, with
moistened eyes, "it stirred the blood with-
in ; me as I listened to that good-looking
fellow and thought of the dear girl waiting
fof him.
'Hold on a minute,' said I, there's a
tilers in the road yonder, and ,when the or.
defiles get out of sight if rou are 'willing to
take a risk, suppose you t ke it.'
"Ha shook my hand, silently and the
taus and smiling came together. , As the
or erlies turned the bend the young man
turned his horse and started back tlown the
road on a deed run. I gave him a good
stert and then I banged away at him with
my revolver and went after hitn, but I took
ttle wrong road at the forks, and my order -
lis came after me as fast as they could. I
g eas we must have chased back along that
road for two miles or more, but we didn't
find that confounded rascal anywhere and
the orderlies never suspected that I had
anything to do with letting him get away.
At least, they never mentioned it in my
hearing, and the general smiled.
( " What became of him at last ?" asked the
drummer.: 1
l' "About four months , after that ' I was,
holding a town in Tennessee," continued
the general, "and iu that town was the
rankest old fire eater I ever .saw. He was
a courtly old chap, but bitterer than gall,
and utterly beyond reconstruction. He
Wouldn't speak to a bluecoat, and there
I
were times when it was almost necessary to
put him under guard for his own safety. He
was too old to be dangerous, but ocsosaional-
ly he talked so we had to threaten him.
One day I was almost startled out of my
Wits by his coming into my headquarters.
rewas white with suppressed feeling, but
managed to tell me diet there was a lady
t his house, a very near and dear relative,
beenis only daughter, in fact, who wanted to
ep me that evening at 7 o'clock, He had
been very loth to come to a Yankee, he paid
but she insisted so that he was compelled to
o so, and then he bowed and went out like
an old king with his crown gone. There
was no explanation and I told the provost
marshal about it and I was going up myself
to see what it meant. He was sure there
was a trap laid for me and did not want me
to go at all, but I told him southern hospi-
tality did not betray people and 1 would go.
I went,and as I passed through the gate and
grounds to the fine old mansion I saw the
shadowy forms of my bluecoate all about as
silent as ghosts. It was plain the provost
marshal was ready to settle matters if any-
thing happened to me. However, I never
let on, but went in and the old man met me
at the door, grimly directed me into the
large cdd•fashioned parlor and stamped of
down the great hall. I went in and a very
beautiful young woman of 22, I should trey,
met me half way across the room.
" ' You are Gen-?' she amid question-
ingly.
I, , ,An dbowed.
may I inquire why I have been
asked here?' I said,without taking the chair
which she gracefully passed me. You see I
was half uneasy and didn't know what
might happen.
She smiled.
"'1 understand;' she said, and atood be-
fore me.
." Then she told me of the young officer I
had permitted to escape."
" 'But what has that tob, do with thia
visit ?" I asked, for somehow I didn't cateh
on'.
"1 am his wife,' she replied, blushing,
and he told me if it ever were possible to
see you I must do so and tell you for
both of us how grateful we are for your
kindness."
"Then I began to grasp the situation and
I almost fell into the chair she had offered
me, and as she talked to me I never was so
glad of anything in all my life as that I was
a mason and he was, unless it was that I
had had the opportunity of doing a favor for
so charming a woman.
"For half an hour ah talkedto me and
then she called her fath r, much against•his
will, but as ehe told Jiim the whole eforY
tog her pretty eyes spa kled and her obeeka
reddened, his fine old fape grew softer un-
til at last the tears came; and as she finish-
ed he rose and, coming over to me took botth
my hands in his, and after shaking them
silently he said, 'D n me sir, there
isn't a southern gentleman in all this sunny
land who shouldn't be proud to be such e
Yankee as you are.'
"1 thanked him cordially for that, an
later on we had something todrink, an
thereafter the old" gentleman wasn't the
same kind of a man any more. 1
" A week ago," concluded the general,
" I visited that couple living in Atlanta;
with four bright and happy children about
them, all grown, and one of the finest young
men you ever saw anywhere bearing xny
name." -

"Says I, hi Misther Smith itt, sir ?"
"Says the man wid the sojer cap, will

Great Because First Good.
A story told of Gerhardt, a Gorr -nen shop -
bent boy, illustrates -the fact that he who is
faithful over a few things will become the
rulet41over many.
Ole day be wen watching his flock, which
was feeding in a valley on the borders of a
foreet, when a hunter came out of the woods
and ‘l nil 'ikowedf:ar is it to the neareet village ?"
";Six milesoir," answered the boy, " but
the road is only sheep track, and very eas-
ilY114iSiU
aledL
Tlooked at the crooked track,
and said:
slid:
"lad, I am very hungry and thirsty;
I have lost my companions and misaed my
way,. Leave your sheep and show me the
roar; I will pay you well."
"I cannot leave my sheep, sir," rejoined
Gerhardt. "They would stray into the
wonis, and may be eaten by wolves or
stolen by robbers."
"I Well, what of that?" queried the hun-
ter I" they are not your sheep. The loss of
one or two wouldn't be much to your mas-
ter; and I'll give you more than you have
earned the whole year,"
" I cannot go sir," rejoined Gerhardt,
very firmly. "My master paya me for my
timle and he trusts me with his sheep. If I
were to sell my time, which does not belong
to ine and the sheep should get lost, it
would !be the same as if I had stolen them."
"veli," said the hunter, " will you truet
yo r; sheep with me while you go to the
vil age and get some food, driuk and a
guido7 I will take care of them for you."
The boy shook his head.
" The sheep," said he, " do not know
yoluevoioe, and-" He stopped speaking.
1 And what? Can't you trust rne ? Do
I leek like a dishonest man ?" asked the
hunter, angrily.
'' Sir," said the boy, "you tried to make
me false to my trust, and tried to make me
break my word to my master; how do I
keoW that you will keep your word ?"
iTh e hunter laughed, for he felt that the
led feirly cornered him. He said :
i" I see, my, lad that you are a good,
faithful boy. I will not forget you. Show
me the road, and I will try to make it out
'myself."
i Gerhardt then offered the contents Of his;
sprip to the hungry tnan,whoemarse as it was,
ate the food gladly. Presently his attend -
lints came up, and then Gerhardt, to his
surprise, found that the, hunter was the
Grand Duke, who ownedall the country
11.111Tulanedbuke was so pleased with the boy's
,
honesty that he eent for him shortly after
that and had him educated. In after years
Gerhardt became a very great and powerful
man, but he remained honest and true to
ihis dying day. -Christian Commonwealth.
1 Mr. Bruce's Alaskan Reindeer
i
1 Experiment Station
i "About three years- ago, as the revenue
!cutter Bear was on its way to Point Barrow,
1 the northern extremity of United States
Territory, and the place at which the G-ove
ernment has established a house of refuge
for wrecked whalers, she Was boarded by
several Eskimos, who came Out in an oomi-
ak, or large akin boat, from a small and un-
til then unknown native settlement. By
means of signs these people conveyed the in-
formation that they were starving. Captain
Healey, the commander of the Bear, im-
mediately sent an officer ashore to investi-
gate their condition.. Upon his return the
officer reported that while some of tbe na.
lives were already dead and dying from
starvation, the eurvivors were eating their
,dogs, their most valued possession, and the
one with which they will not part save in
the last extremity.
"A subscriptionwas immediately taken
np among the officers and crew of the Bear.
"One hundred dollars was thus raised,
and the ship was headed for the distant
trading port of Fort St. Michaele, where
the entire sum was invested in hardtack.
With this supply of food the Bear returned,
as fast as steem and sail would carry her,to
the starving People who had called upon her
big-hearted crew to aid them.
"Captain Ilealey's report of this destitu-
tion, and of the many similar oases that he
encountered during that cruise, caused the
authorities at Washington to investigate
into the condition of these moat northern
wards of the nation, and devise measures
for their relief. It was finally decided eo
import and domesticate reindeer from Si-
beria, as these animals could be protected
from hunters, and would at !emit assure the
natives a supply of food and clothing. I
was placed in charge of the reindeer experi-
ment station or ranch, at Port Clarence, not
far from Point Barrow, where I have now
been for nearly two years, and where the
complete success of the undertaking has
been demonstrated. In a few yeare we con-
fidently expect to be feeding our own starv-
ing Eskimos with an Abundance of reindeer
meat."-Harper's Young People.
Cardinal Newman's Gentleman.
Somewhere in his writings Cardinal New...,
man thus describes his idea of a gentleman:
"He has his eyes on all his company.
He is tender toward the bashful,
gentle' toward the distant and merci-
ful toward the absurd." In his con-
versation the gentleman will remember to
whom he is speaking, have thought for all
the company and avoid allusions that would
give pain to any of them, steering away also
from topics that irritate. When he does a
favor to another -and he does many -the
gentleman will somehow make it appear
that he is receiving the benefit instead of
conferring it.
" He is never mean or little in hie din-
putes." Moreover, he showe that he has an
intellect far above the average :in the fact
that he never mistakes, personalities
and sharp sayingsfor arguments. Most of
mankirad do. When grief, illness and losses
come to him 'he submits to pain because it
ia inevitable.' Bereavement he takes with
heroic philosophy because it is irreparable.
He goes to death without a murmur because
it is his .deatiny."
The Discoverers.
A principal of one of the grammar
schools in Savannah„ian old-time Irish peda-
gogue, relates an ncident which is well
worthy of repetition, and is indicative of
the aptness of the Irish youth. One day
while he was instructing his class in geo-
graphy, the Bishop of the diocese happened
in, and, as is the custom, propounded some
questions te the scholars. " What parts of
the globe comprise the old and new world ?"
was readily and correctly answered; and
when asked who was the discoverer of the
new world, one powerful chorus answered,
" Christopher Columbus." "Now, my
little men," said the Bishop. "you have
told me who discovered the new woild, but
can any of you tell me who discovered the
old world ?" A dead silence for a few sec-
onds, when a little chap named Mahoney,
the son of a shoemaker, held up hie hand.
" Well, my little man," said the Bishop,
"let us have your answer." The surprise
of the teacher and Bishop can be imagined
when the youngster replied in a voice show-
ing confidence in his answer, "Adam and
Eve, my lord." -Savannah Press. ,
