When I went West to find an opening for BV money brooks was a sedate, hard-working lawyer. I never sup posed he woul 1 earn his salt. After becoming tolerably well ac quainted with mother again and the boys, and making brief vain quest for employment, I took a run up to the capital one day to see B'ooks. lie grtet?d ine cordially. He :d way did like me. I suppose because I used to i:e!p him out in his lessors between thrashings, although upon leaving school I bore a reuiors- lu fteling that I had been unmerciful to poor Br wok 3. lie was in his oflieial apartment at the State House, a io-'ty room Willi frncnnnd rtul i illir Iwi il.if ' i i n nv-ituv-u unit iruuc 1 . ! windows, elaborate lurniture, library; and elegar.t writing desks.

This as be- j cause I so resembled Ii rooks that I , came upon them like an tpparition, tor he and I were of similar form. I behind the same ancestral nose.! Greeting over, he said : j i 'nd how are the mints, Chug?' 'They are still there.' You have made your fortune West. I hope?' 'No. The "West did pretty wiP. I didn't. The West kept all I took tkere. He looked at me doubtfully, lirooks neer quite understood my way of talking. Yet I speak clear, classic English, always. 'You haven't lost every ctnt, riiu .

He was a schemer, mor. anxious to win outside friends than to do his duty bv me. I want some body who is reliable. Il Pa.vs two thousan a year. Pro, ably I can also put some perquisites in your wa3.' As a kicdness to Brook", I con sented. He led me over to a handsomv desk charged with inunm-rable pig eon noies, roiis 01 1" , stamps, wax .mi other iia 1 e e-1 merits of nr.voriimPtit.

I sat .lon ' cfore a hall .1- 1 1 ieara of selected mad, n.y br.ef structions being for lu?HP' ,5,;,y no to every want, but make a friend of verv writer.' This mountainous task strained my e'1' Sabbath school training severely- However, I evolved a general Itter appl cable to most of those ca5es and submitted it to Brooks. He wu g' 1 e,,olJ1 lo praise its eoncili8lnry tact aB1 gracious d, nial, and I proceeded to duplicate tne form and scatter it broadcast . An 1 1 f ii r Liter Hnrr.l.l ritir rlrU- I appeared at the door. 1 Here is the prison delegation.' Brooks put down hit documents and straightened up with great con cern, ' Let me see, what do they want? Chug, there is a memorandum on our deiik somewhere.' I searched and found the appoint ment slip: 'Tuts. 11 a.m. Cedar Co Hity delegation to urge amslior. ition of convicts.' Ii:OOks ran his hand through his hair. Why do they bother me now? Why can't thev torture those fellows; in the Legislature, and after they get in their bill come and a-k 1143 pproval? Why consume my time for an object so remote? What shall I do with 'em, Chug? I hi.ve mole work here already than I can finish in good season .' 'Do!' I exclaimed, rising energet im llv and filing something of the old sco; n for him. ' hv, inaii, let id in. hay : 'Fellow citizens, I ii ! 1 -p. ou 1 to meet ou, glad to i-ee. the cans? d'our criminals enlisting the sympathy 1 such able a Ivneates. i .i..d anything I can do to fuitner the ;od 1 woik be assund I shall rejoice to do. At the same time, all gov ernments move by routine, and J must, eommen . you to ihe u-ual pro cedures. Secure legislative action effecting the ends 3 011 n i at, an', as I feel sure the object will be just ifiable, I sh ill take pleasure in sign ing our bill.' That's all. Remain st-uding, and let tin in stand. Fid get to and fro In m your desk. L-1 : t; eai knv you are in a hurry, al- though courttous, and get rid of :em ; quick.' j 'Cedar county,' mused Brooks. (-I don't know any hod 3' up there i likely be in this dt legation. Chug, i y ou look a good deal like me. Yen j may receive these pejple, and act as I Governor. j 'Ho, thank you,' said I, bo'ting to I in v desk and c-itch.ng up the pei'. ... , t 'Ha Id !' cried Brooks with s'ow sarcasm. 'You can brag bat not perform, eh? This blunt nply stung me. It was quite uidlke the Brooks of my school da vs. 1 used to p.-ide m-self on superior force. It would rover do to let him find me lacking nerve, or my old afc lidency would vari h wholl. So I promptl' rose again. ' Yhv, I can receive the deleg ation 1: vou liiojks, but ro ti 1 iy want me to, 'All right, Chug, you imv receive thtm. Treat them well. That will give :retiin.i to go over this paper, and I must do "t before noon.' I was somewhat agitate 1. To con front these fellows face to face grew every instant more ili-agreeable to me.

I dropped 033' oen, sprang to my coat and lunged uy arms frenz.ed lv into the sleeves. 'Excuse me, ladies, I I had fur- i gotten the the sex of your deleg-1 atlon. Ic is such a hot lay ' I fumbled my necktie. The hor rible fear came over me that I had fuiled to comb rpy hair that morn- insr. Mother accused me of rank neglect since my return from Color ado. But I caught s'ght of a dis tracted phantom in the mirror; hap oily, rav hair, although somewhat frows3', bure suggestions of comb ing. 'Governor,' said Harold gravely. Met me introduce Mrs. Miner, th head of this delcHntiOn.' Now I ought to have bowed in a stately way and said: 'iladame, I am hsppy to nuet you and to find that prison reform lias oa its lists a ivr eates at once so fair and ca pable.' But I did not say this. I observed that Mrs. Miner war. a tail, nia troi ly lady with gra3 hair. Human features and pale complexion ; very stylishly dressed in bla k with whit lace about l.er throat and wrists. observed tint her companions were mostly eld r.y, weilbred, iastetu.Il attired, self pos-essed and emintntlv ladylike. At the rear were some ounger women, notablv one Lrur. eite with Hashing black ees, wear ing a broad-brimmed hat with a neb ied plume and a broc idcd ilai k red velvet dress with a p;ofusiou of rio bons. Stie looked ilcuiurtly over tue shoulders Oi' her companions di rectly into my eyes, and I, but just returned from such a long exile, unused to leminine oroxiujity, wue m-taiitly bereit of ull senses. I stood irresolute. Mrs. Miner also stood a moment hesitating. Then, as I made a halting movement for ward, sh3 held out her gloved hand, which I shook awkwardly. 'U e Ought to bo old friends,' said I, glancing at BiOuk-, who buried uis head 111 documents, while his chair shook saspiciou-ly, 'lor I was a miner myself until ' The appalling reflect on that in 1113 impertoi aiion as Governor all reference to my Colorado experience w as emr, ol dace, now t ipped the re mai'k. I added, to complete the entence, 'until 1 became of age.' Brooks glance! up witn aBony m in i face, a look which conjured me. wh'iiever else I did, by all the- gods not. to proftine ids identity through -uch abhorrent puns. Mrs. Miner introduced her com liiiious to in", 'Mrs. Gritlin , Miss Minx, Mis. Qualter,' and she Went through the group standing a little aside sons to keep the ladies and mv-elfinour respective places. I felt 1 erspiration trickle over my orow as I bowed to Miss Mu'wine, the brunette, who was the last one ptesented. A deperate desire to do something gallant caire over me. 'Take sets, lad es. Sit down. Kr Harold, where are the chairs? Bring in the chairs, sir! The chairs ought alwa3's to be lure.' Harold winked, put one hand over his jaws and staggered into the back room. He did not reappear, but banded forth the chairs behind the part'y open door without showing lus countenance. Then I heard him go cut into ti-.e anteroom by way of the back corridor anel became con sci jus from the shuttling fet that he had masse 1 all the c.e ks against the cornmU! icating door so that they could overhear my speech. Theie were r ot chairs noiih for the p.uty, so I took the chair from my de&k and placed it for Miss Mul f'ine. I remaineel staudir'g befoie Lhem. 'Mr. Governor, we hie come to ask 3 our co-operation in ameliorat ing the condition of our ccllvics.' H-re Was another great, opport unity.

Nothing more stirs my sym pathy, nothing seems to me of great er importance than improvement m facilities for their comfort and moral welfare. Any practical measure which you have m itured will mnt mY cordial support.' com- But I didn't, say that. Instead, I replied: 'Yes, there is too much laxity . Those fiequet escapes r,m;nd me of our experience in Colorado. A drunken miner shot a fe.low one night and the Shenlf took him up to t.bf- town jug and 1 eked htm in. The jug w as oulv a log builtiny set in the hillside. He ot out 80 quick that he met the Sheritf oh hi leturn in front ef the Welcome Bar and asked him to step in and take a drink. Then ti e crowd carried him otf to the nearest tree lie didn'i get away that time.' Perbap3 you do not quite under stand us,' said Mrs. Miner, gravely.

"You-don't get Item up as hand as we did in Colorado,' I rejoined. 'When we had our struggle for th ounty seat we strung the petitiot f)-i an cl I w ringer fraree, ?o we could toll it up with a crank." Here Books gave a loud 'Hem.' 1 .fjoked across. He was 2 1 -i r i n ai u.e in warning wrath, and ag-iin I recollected that these Colorado re iniidscences were inopportune. 1 stared around, caught the imfath imub'e t'3es of that marvelous bruuette, and lapsed into hoj eless incapacity. ' Pardon me for interrupting you. Governor.' said Brooks in a coV, earnest voice which at once com manded silence and attentiem. 'But 11 is fitting th.se ladies should know tliat their p.-tition ouyht to ne nivei o their representaf.se.and he should press for appropriate legislation Unti that time this cilice 19 power-le-s to act.' Mrs. Miner replied: 'Oh, we quite Understand that. We only wished to show the petitions for a moment nere as evidei.ee of tueir popularity, and ascertain theGovernor's feelings toward the movement.' 'Entirely favorable, madam,' said I. Then we will bid you good da and witlidraw. 1 know your tiliit. 's valuable. Maii3 thanks for iour kindness.' They bowed. The clerks ' scattered in the ante-reom and tlie ladies ret'red gracelully. Wnile I stood stupidly, ru.t et recovered from tlie surprise ol their arrival, the door closed behind them. There was silence a. moir.enl. BiOjks sat witu his back turned. He lif.el up a page ol manuscript aid remarked, with fluttering emphasis: 'Chug, you made a btautifui speech.' 'Oh, stilt tip! shut up!' I cried, wild'3. throwing my seif into a chair. Brooks' fortitude sud .ien' gave way. He cast himself forward on his desk and lalighel hilariously. He rose and bowed bin self shriek ing over a chair. He dropped full length upon the sofa, ( n U p of the pamiihlets, helpless and up.oirous. the art is stdl common iu the List He ha-haed all over the cilice, and ! dS ;t is alo ainuug the Esquimaux, crowded me with his outrageous sir David Brewster writes: that ven mirth.

It dawned upon my mind that Bro )ks and I had changed posit ions ; that the superior force of char- acier ierhaps now was his, that the coldness in emergencies, which is the test of strength, w as mo-t man- ifest in him. Inspired by this dis- cove ry., and by tlie O.-cas ion, I justly remarked: 'I believe I am the I igest fool of all our Stale ollicers. Ere I had concluded I become aware that t he door was open.
