STORM BOUND. ' For day and days the bowling blast Abouf the farmhouse, quaint and old. Ue&ped while drift, and swiftly massed With snow the landscape, fold on fold. We beard it sound its clarion calls From crag to crag, and then, with strong. Hoarse trumpet notes, the mountain walls . And glens and gorges sweep along. And yet our time ne'er heavy bung, As round the hearthstone, warm and bright. We gathered close, and laughed and sung. And stories told, when fell the night. How Maud, a merry girl, would sing A fine old ballad, soft and sweet; While Tom. at tentive, rushed to bring A cushion for her dainty feet. Then 'round the grandsire, gray with age. With eager ears, the party drew, And listened to some thrilling page Of his owb life historic, too When he had fought the Britishoers, And given the redskins blow for blow; And wild life with the pioneers. Whoso axes laid the forests low. Reading aloud, then music, then News from the storm from some young elf Who, to behold the snow again. Had clambered to the window shelf. And then, perhaps a luxury rare A legend from our poet youth. Full of bold knights and ladies fair, And almost everything but truth. And love was made and friendships formed. And warmth was given to head and heart; And when at last no more It stormed, And the hour drew near when we must part. The floundering snow we boldly met; For from that farmhouse, quaint aud old, Wc took sweet memories sweeter yet Than any tale there sung or told. -N. D. Turner in New York Ledger. SHORTY LOCHINVAR. 1 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 sleeplessness as at the age of one score, or thereabout. I have known quite a number of young men of about that age to be deeply, passionately, desperately in love, and ultimately to recover and go through similar but less agonizing experiences several times thereafter. ; But, as I said, they never in a sin 'gle instance suffered half so much from subsequent attacks as from that first experience. Not that they love lees, but their capacity for suffering has diminished which is something to be thankful for, for a man who could suffer at each recurrrence of the complaint as much as he did at the first would die of the second or third relapse. The victim of this first attack is a pitiable creature, particularly when there are "obstacles," which is usual ly the case. I always feel very sorry for a chap in this sort of a pickle, and I felt par ticularly sorry for poor Shorty Flem ing. I knew I ought not to encour age him, but he was such a good little beggar and so much in earnest that I would have defied a far more severe man than his brother Jack for his sake. Besides Shorty was not one of the chaps who get over any thing easily, and I knew failure would go hard with him. Moreover, Jack was not the only "obstacle.' Sam Parker, Shorty's Nettie's papa, also objected. He was not a stern, unreasonable parent by any means, but his objections, even if presented good naturedly, were none the less formidable. Parker was a shrewd Maine Yan kee, with a total disbelief in the abil ity of womankind to use reason, and a record of some sixty years of devo tion to an earnest hustle for the fasci nating but elusive American dollar. Nettie was the only daughter and the youngest child in a family of seven, and the old man, close fisted as he was, had spared no expense in educating her liberally. It was only natural, therefore, for him to object, especially as Nettie was barely eight een, and had only been out of school a few months. i He called on Jack one afternoon, not casually, as he usually called, on nis way to or from town, out witn a direct purpose. Jack was under the Jweather, and lay on the sofa. I was reading to him when Parker walked m. "Howdy, Flemin; laid up, air ye? Howdy, Faber; purty warm, ain't it? Thanks, I will set a spell." And he sat down on the edge of a chair and began tracing figures on the floor with his big spur. He seemed nerv oua ana 1 rose to leave tne room, but he waved his hand and said "Set daown, Faber. Set still. Guess I ain't got nothin t' say but what ye mout ez well hear. xiere tne oia man surxened up id his seat and stated the object of his mission in a good natured but thor oughly decided way, closing with: , "Naow, Flemin, I ain't no Tajection ' th' leetl feller not one mite; he's .tiptop good boy, an all that. But ftain't in reason th't I'm goin' t' spend more n tnree thousan dollars eddica a young 'un, an then let 'er go an larry 'nother young 'un 'thout ary An that s what ltTl coma t fust thing we know." Now, Parker's remarks were in the nature of a revelation to us. Of bourse we knew Shorty had put in a good many evenings at the Parker ranch, but we had never guessec that his visits there had any signifi bance. A courtship, too, with six bif Brothers loahng around is a difnculi patter. It is easy enough to fall just fall p-in love with a girl if there is n pne to ninaer. uui with six yottrr pien, with whom one is on gocx terms, sitting around and occupyin h large portion of one's attention, it is a matter or getting in love, whicl accomplished, is rather more serioi:.' khan a mere fall into the same. i temmg bui up ana ran ma angers trough his hair gravely.

And here began my connectio, with Shorty's love affair. That even ing I was writing busily when som one opened the door of my den an walked in. It was Shorty. He sr down quietly ana took up a papei wnicn ne looxea at lor several mm ntes while l scratched away at m- Work. 'Then; he threw the papc down suddenly,-and turned to n "with, "Faber, what was . old Parkei here for today r ' l tried to dissemble, out shorty i nobody's fooL and interrupted. "Ok rot 1" said he-( "I reckon you thir I'm a sucker. f Now, honestly, whjij' was he here fort ' .Finally ttold Mm about the con . versation between his brother and Parker. He sat silent for several minutes. I could his face twitch, Then he turned his eyes to my face and said slowly: "Faber. I know rm young and all that, but I knpw my own mind Jack's a good brother ' and feels in duty, bound to take care of me, but I guess I can 'tend to thiit myself. I I've made - up my mina to marry that girl if shell have me, and all the Jacks and Sam Parkers in the world can't stop me." And Mr. Percival Fleming set his mouth hard and walked out He called at Par ker's the next evening, despite Jack's ' strategy. " There was another caller at Par- ker's that evening in the person of Morris CottrelL a wealthy rancher from up the "Five Mile." Shorty; when he got home, mentioned this fact to me, with some feeling in his tones. Cottrell was no old duffer. He was a man of thirty, well read and a gentleman, and the prospect of having him for a rival would nave sent despair to the heart of any pen niless young man less determined than Shorty Fleming. For two or three months bhorty continued his calls at Parker's, grow ing more and more gloomy and sav age as the days went by, for old Sam Parker was something of a strategist, and managed to keep the poor lad from getting a single private inter view with Nettie, thereby giving Cot trell a clear field, which was evident ly satisfactory to the latter, although he did not seem to make much progress. One evening Shorty came to my room in a state of mind. He had seen Sam Parker that day, said the latter had told him. as gently as pos sible, some jrallinc truths about his age and his penniless condition, con eludins with the cheerful informa tion that he "reckoned Net hed 'bout d'eided t' take up with Cottrell, any heow." Of course Bhorty was despondent, but he was none the less determined. "Falier, I'm going to see her tomor row afternoon, and and ask her." The time and the hour favored Shorty, but I hardly think Nettie knew her own mind. The boy who came riding slowly home through the shadows next evening was very much downcast boy indeed. He told me all about it later; how Nettie had wavered, and finally told him that she could give him no an swer. She cared a great deal for him. she said, but she was not sure she cared 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 something. Although he was usually so srood natured, he was as Brmined as a bull dog, and I think he used some influence in deciding matters, for two weeks later he "dropped in" to tell Jack 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 I hated to tell him, but did so the best way I could. The poor lad stood still as stone for several sec onds. Then, with a shuddering sob, he turned away. In the morning he was gone, with his horse and clothes, leaving no word. Jack and Joe, the other brother, were much worried; Dut, as dacu now for the first time acknowledged, "the boy could take care of himself." Jack and I talked it over during the day, and he expressed a good deal of regret, thinking, however, that Nettie had decided for herself, and that Shorty had no one to blame for his failure. "If it had been differ ent," he went on, "and Percy had persevered and won, I would have given in, and I think Parker would too, for next year Percy will come into about fifteen thousand. You see, I've never told him of it, because I wanted him to grow up on his merits and be self reliant. I think it has been for the best. Joe never ready 7 tor ,7 the- ceremony, and "guests were "bustling : about, amid some confusion, trying to find the best points for observation. Nettie arker, pale for once, stood near tne front door pulling her fingers nerv ously waiting, supposedly, for, her father. " - ' Some one, knocked at the door, Nettie pulled it open, gave a little cry, grabbed a man's hat from the back of a chair and an overcoat rrom a peg near by, and rushed out, slam ming the door. Everybody who saw the performance stood stall, dazed. Then, as we heard horses' hoofs clat tering up the road, there was, a rush for the outside. Up the road, disap pearing fast, were two horses, whose riders were evidently in a hurry. There was another rush this time for the stables led by old Sam Park er. 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 one of them open. When they finally succeeded in mounting two or three men for pur suit the runaways had three or four miles start. At this juncture Cot- trelL as cool as if he had never thought of attending" his own wed ding, camo up and spoke quietly to old Parker, who was so dazed that he had not opened his mouth so far. The old man started. "By gorry, Morris, mebbe thet's c'redt. No use yowlin over spilt milk. Come on, boys." And they rode on:, but not very rapidly. "I told the old gentleman," re marked Cottrell to mo as we turned toward the house, "tifat it was no use trying to head them off. They'll be married inside of an hour." Then, in a tone that contained no trace of bitterness, he continued: "It is far better to have happened now than than later. And as it is I think maybe there will be only .i i one unhappy person, lnsieau oi three." That was Morris Cottrell philosopher and man. Mr. and Mrs. Percival Fleming were met at the justice's office by old Sam Parker, who remarked: "Wa-al, I swow ! Yew air a nervy boy ! Ain't ye both ashamed on't?" No, they were not ; and after Net tie had had a good cry in her father's arms the runaways were escorted back to the Parker ranch to receive the congratulations of their friends, foremost among whom was Morris Cottrell.

He's a good deal of a man, and, now I come to think of it, the affair has hit him hard. They could have waited a couple of years, you know." And Jack walked off slowly, taking long whiffs at his pipe. Several weeks passed, during which Haw Nettie Parker several times. She seemed different. Her laugh was not the jolly laugh I had been accustomed to hear, and she seemed pensive at times. Was it her ap proaching wedding or Shorty? I hoped it was Shorty. 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 day for the wedding only a week away. It was Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, and there had been great prep arations at Parker's. The people for miles around were invited to the wedding, which, old Sam '"lowed," would be "th' banguppest thing they ever hed in th' kentry." I rode into town to buy on behalf of Jack and myself something to present to the bride elect. In the postoffice some one tapped me on the shoulder. I turned.

In the interior of Australia all the men drink tea. They drink it all day long and in quantities and at a strength that would seem to be poi sonous. On Sunday morning the teamaker starts with a clean pot and a clean record. The pot is hung over the fire with a sufficiency of water in it for the day's brew, and when this has boiled ha pours into it enough of the fragrant herb to produce a deep. coffee colored liquid. On Monday, without removing yes terday's tea leaves, he repeats the process. On Tuesday da capo and on Wednesday da capo, and so on through the week. Toward the close of it the great pot is filled with an acrid mash of tea leaves, out of which the liquid is squeezed by the pressure of a tin cup. By this time the tea is of the color of rusty iron, incredibly bitter and disagreeable to the unedu cated palate: The native calls it "real good old post and rails" (the simile bemg obviously drawn from a stiff and dangerous jump), and regards it as having been brought to the very pitch of perfection.
