After sev eral yeara had gone by there was a Are in the mountains, and one mid night the youth now happy Will with a wife and a cross-eyed baby saw that the flames threatened total destruction of the veteran'a combust ible property mllea away toward a peak. Thither he repaired with a single companion to conquer the enemy. After a noble fight, they atarted on the return trip amid a. darkness so dense that one could not aee ten feet away. Suddenly a growl In the vicinity of Will's feet revived fearful thoughts of the mad dogs which were then terrorising the community. He leaped toward escape. A huge log. however, met him In the forehead with such fore that he fell back to be a victim to hydrophobia and after ward a prisoner chained in a lonely cabin. "Begone," he yelled, aa he kicked vicloualy but without success. Again ha leaped, but again the log bumped his head. Horrors! He ivas penned with a mad canine! Like a maniac he fought and leaped Just for sugar and stones for eggs, while hard enough to wear his reason slowly now and then someone Is summoned by his enemies presumably to hear . prayers for forgiveness, but actually to eaten a drubbing for his Impu dence. Old men and boys, grand mothers and girls have caught this wild desire to enliven the neighbor hood and to humiliate those who have humiliated othera thla Insane desire which everybody knowa will not end until spring. There is one fellow, however, who has had quite enough of the insane work which his neighbors call fun; for he has been foolish enough to . work himself into the plans of one gray in the service. One night the former ndlvldual he was a youth named Will passed th home of the other who was a Confederate veteran and who at that late hour even was regaling a family or two with ac counts of his trials in Tennessee. It seemed that he had borne olt honors from every battle-field In that re gion. At Chlckamauga he had been compelled to shoot from the folds of an excessively crooked- dog-wood which constituted all the' shelter! he was able to find. The embodiment of mischief without listened at the win dow. Just as the veteran had en tered well Into a rehearsal of 1 the thrilling moment when hla mouth had got so dry that hta breath aetj ire 10 ins carriages, and looking around, he saw a man with a crick In his neck and a Springfield In po- wuy in contact with that insurmount able log. Presently the dog aelzed his leg. The prisoner sprang upward with such momentum that the bar rier knocked away his remaining strength, and he sank an easy victim to the savage animal that longed just for one bite of human flesh. Then It was that the woods resounded with the cry: "O Lord." But that one bite was not taken; the veteran only laughed at hla suc cess In acting the dog. "Blame you," cried the other, now thoroughly revived by the discovery, "you blankety blanked farm will burn good and done afore 1 tight lire for you agin,' you blankety blanked Id lot!" "Well. Willie," responded the vic tor, "hanged ef I don't b'lleve vou have fergot the ole hen. I'd hush. If I' us you." And Willie hushed. The practical Joker Is a good means by which to gain something long coveted, in the conviction of a certain lady whose ambition for years was to be loved by a youth avowedly averse to conjugal bliss. Moreover he was so eccentric as to be laughing stock for the entire neighborhood. The youngster waa ponsessed of a nondescript desire to become a phil osopher, and to declare that the de cree of the Almighty against man's being, alone .should be reversed; (or aoes not Move .-beget u concern'- which wilt finally overwhelm with new and unhappy ties? Naturally the maiden thought he needed ft correction, Hu miliation, auch as ft net of clrcutn. stances planned by a professional Jok r, would be the very thing. , ' Going to her grandmother, who ef course . knew, all things, the 'maiden said: s.i5';:j'' - ..'.'-' VO,' granny.,! love Billy Willy, an bahole , he goes . foesullxia' when he ort .to court me. Help me. granny, fer I want to teach him that .it la not good fer man to be alone." ' r , "Go and set' the bear trap in hla path," Instructed the wise -woman. The maiden obeyed, although a though of the probable consequences of BUI Willy's being captured In the huge trap, almost broke her heart. Thep she returned to the house and saw him pasa, with a studious look and a prodigious volume strangely, in compatible with the humor of that sunny morning. Presently her tears were dried, and she became Intensely expectant. The woods rewarded her attitude soon with a yell which ap- pnaea me oemure ltstaner that her plan ao far had succeeded a yell which augured that Billy Willy would noi totally aisregara her right then should she condescend t6 go near hlml "Anny Fanny." called grandma, "ver fool's cotch; go to 'lm." Ana right soon did she ro. Blllv Willy welcomed her appearance with a glorious familiarity. "Miss Anny Fanny." he began with gallantry that seemed miraculous, will you be so kind as to hand me that axe? I'm trapped, as you see, and unfortunately the Implement lies iust neyona my hest efforts." "Yes, Indeed. Billy Willy, but you won't first agree that sometimes at least It Is not good for a man to be alone?" "Of course man needs help tempo rarily." he replied with evident dls eomttture, "but that doesn't mean that he ahall be handicapped for life, doea It?" ' "O you cruel, cruel man! Sow here I'm breathless with running to your help, and you don't 'predate It?" "No. I'm sure I don't appreciate your standing there while my tinkle's bunting. Hand me that axe, will you. and prove that a woman can be of some Infinitesimal help when she's compelled to?" After a hasty compliance, the girl retreated swiftly to tur home and with puthetlc words endeavored to convince grandma that life Indeed is a failure. "Tut. tut. chile," remonstrated the wise old lady, "spring a pole fer Mm an' knock a little of the big head off uv mm. As a sapling was sprung forthwith, Billy Willys heels flew Into the air on his return from a trip Into the woods that very day. There was little consolation, however, to the hidden lass, for she heard only this very un satisfactory ejaculation and comment: "Durn-nashun! Why'a a pole so damned much like a woman? Be cause it is never to be depended onl", Again like a sneak-thief, Anny Fan ny approached the venerable lady who was counsellor and only friend aa well. "Well, chile," grandmother began, "you'd better give up this fossullzer. fer he's not worth the trouble it'll take to git 'lm. He's beyant me. he's shore that. But maybe you'd better rescue Mm again. Spring another sapling that'll knock the breath plumb outen "lm." Months went on with the youth still In a path of philosophy which led Into the Interminable woods. Thus long he'had narrowly but repeatedly overstepped the Innocent nonsen n his way. so that the maiden had al- 4 most .resolved 'toJfersaka her nlana j and die a martyr in fast approaohlng spjnsiernooa, . cut she decided to Keep vigil near her trap yet another .tfme,:)v.'A;'-v!. .' t -.

"At last," she sighed. "I've caught him. May he have a good dose." ' Stilt the merciless Anny Fanny stay ed among the laurels and beheld Billy Willy revolve and heard him lmpiore the fates for Just another hour. Slowly and more slowly he turned. Finally the body became still except for a slight swaying caused by the wind, and the beholder noticed that hla mouth hung open, bis arms dangled limply and his eyes bulged horribly enough to romdemn her as a murderess unfit to live. Hastily she took down the still form and drag ged It to a comfortable place, where yet it waa still so still that her heart thundered like a cataract at the' Inev itable thoughta of his death. Thinking of water. Annv Fannv went for his hat-full, but returnlna she saw that thla prerautionary Htep waa absolutely and unfortunately use lessfor Billy Willy was sitting erect and looking around presumablv for his "Aristotle a Organon Confuted."

Will you be mine forever, my little guardian angel still, though our home a cabin may be?" "You muatn't talk that way. Billy Willy. Besides It's so sudden, you know." "Woe Is me. If you run t be Induced to change your mind. What can I do?" "Take me to the bu .l i.l ti" to-mor'," she replied to this m-w Hilly Willy, while under her breath she kept sing ing: "I've caught Mm at lnt. at last !" Certainly, the little store is a won derfully good news centre: for If a big event happens elsewhere as It does very seldom the best accounts of It may be had only In front of the muddy counter. 81nre the mountain eer takes his rest In activity 'that amuses, the cornor Is never dull. Those who loiter thereabout cannot honorably censure the Jokers' organ ization or tako offense whenever they have been played upon an enterpris ing member. Nor do the civil folk stay away long.

Sometimes, too. the civil nre made to take part in the proceedings so that the place may be considered strictly democratic. My time has Just been. Yesterday afternoon t was told that the next fellow, no matter who he might be, should be dealt with by me. and that.

"He tfld me what 'ua not so. that's what he ld." complained the lad, with his club pointed In my direc tion, i V "Didn't you know these folks, ye little gumphesd ?

Although pence so far aa I was Im plicated was Anally declared, the. boy was compelled by tho Irate master of the mule to carry home the load left at the store on delivery of the Imagin ary message. Nor was this all. At nine o'clock every Paint Gap citizen who could hear even tolerably well was startled by the clamor appar ently of a riot In the neighborhood of the minister's home; and all those even who could walk only tolerably well hastened to the front porch to investigate. In the moonlight we saw a young army asalling the doors of the holy resident! There were wo men with bandannas, bovs with rluh and" an old man with a hag of feath ers and an ancient tar-bucket.

Humor In New York That Kxpcri Ac countant Are Examining Southern Plan for This Purpose-. New York Journal of Commerce, 7th. There was a rumor In, circulation in the financial district yesterday to th effect that another attempt is being made on the part of promoters to merge a number of cotton yarn mills Into a new corporation with a large capitalization. Neither denial nor confirmation of the rumor was ob tainable. Report also had It that the firm of Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Co., of 2i Hroml street, expert accountants, were at work making an examination of tho mills, which It Is proposed t merge, iuul that the financial end of the deal would be looked after by Aoodward & Stlllman. of 22 William street.

A number of examinations of Southern enterprises have been conducted with either the Chicago of fice or the New Orleans branch. ' It Is pointed out by persona famil- ( lar with the cotton yarn Industry that there has been In the past large sell ing commissions paid to the commts- shm houses which market the pro- I ducts of the mills and that possibly ' one of the schemes la to eliminate . this.
