The Man
That Figured
Br M. QUAD
Copyright. 1312, by Associated Lit
erary Pre.
j It was a May day when the man
i that gave his name aa Ezeklel Harper
arrived Id the village of Oakville and
I told ttie landlord of the tavern that be
wanted rest and might stay for a cou
1 pie of months,
I At the end of three weeks the village
countable, the jiiHtlee of the peace, the
leading merchant and others had u Bort
of meeting at which it was resolved
that a stranger that wouldn't tell all
about himself was probably hiding
from the law. This resolution was
bunded to Mr. Harper by the constable,
and after rending it two or three times
the newcomer carelessly wild:
"1 kinder want a rest mid 1 kinder
want to tlgger something out."
-Hut we don't like it. We don't like
It," u 11 no u need the man of the low.
"Well, 1 dunno whut you are going to
do about It."
.Veitber did the constable nor any
Ixxly else. .Mr. Harper paid his board
every Saturday night iu good and law
ful tnouey. and If lie was a fugitive
hum Justice he didnt do any skulking.
Soon aflr he had been told whut the
public thought of him he bought a
tape line at one of the stores. Of course
the clerk that sold It to him usked him
what ho was going to do with it. hut
Mr. Harper refused to give out any in
formation whatever. This nearly re
sulted In another public meeting. But
for the fact that the man was seen
measuring the distance from the school
house to the bridge the meeting would
have been held and at least three dlf
rerent resolutions adopted.
And the next day Mr. Harper meas
ured the distuuee between the tavern
and n niudhole a hundred feet away.
A day elapsed. It "was spent by Mr.
Harper In figuring, and he took great
care that his figures should not be seen
by others. Deacon S my the btid al
nays had great good luck In pumping
strangers, and he was called upon to
exercise his talents on the man of mys
tery. He took a seat beside htm on the
tavern veranda and began:
"Mr. Harper, this town of Oakville
is inhabited by plain people."
Yes."
"Wo have nothing to conceal."
"N-o."
"Then I shall expect you to answer
a few questions concerning yourself.
Where do you come from?"
"I believe they call the ptace Hades
row, but that hasn't changed the tem
perature any!"
"Sir! Sir! This to me:' shouted
Hen con Smytho.
"dense don't bother me I want to
Agger."
When It became known how Deacon
smythe had been turned down that
-croud public meeting was held. The
resolutions were bold and red hot. The
landlord must give Mr. Harper notice
to quit. He must also make oath n
to what suspicious things he had ob
served. Mr. Harper must tell why he
came to Oakville instead of stopping
;it Monnr Ivy. He must also nmko n
rleau breast uf the tapeline and mens
iirlng it flair. If not Itut he must.
The committee named proceeded to the
hotel and reached the place Just as
Mr. Harper returned from measuring
the distance between the cooper shop
and the frog pond
"Sir!" said the undertaker, who was
chairman hv virtue ot' hnvlng the
deepest voice. "We must know all
nhoiit you or there will be conse-
piences. Tor one thing the landlord
will turn you out."
"Then he'll get a suit for damages!"
was the reply.
"Itut, sir. It Is a consensus of opinion
that you are a a"
"Suspicious charm' ter?"
"Yes nli yes. Yes. sir. that Is It."
Thanks. Tomorrow I will begin suit
net Inst ench ami every one of you."
That shot told. The committee left.
nml the landlord had nothing to say.
mid for three days ipen shivered when
they thought of damage suits. Then
Mr. Harper packed his trunk and left.
In lea vine he placed a written ex
planation iu tue landlord's hands to be
rend to all Interested parties. It rend
as follows:
"Tho distance from the school limine
to tho bridge Is just 'Jcp feet mid 7
inches. What I was Hgurlng on was
the distance It would be if about forty 1
old soakers and hisy hones In this town I
had to let whisky alone and go to
work.
"The distance between the tuvcrti
nnd the mudlioie down the street,
which has heen a niudhole f.ir forty
years. Is Just ninety seven feet and
four and a half Inches I was tluur
in on how n shovelful of that mud
coilM i-et in tn the coffeepot every
morning "t breakfast.
The distance between the cooper
hop umi the fro-j pond ts exactly

"I was gotnc to measure the rtls
iniice tM'lweeti Squire Hampton's sjv.it
d dog and !Hacon Smythe" onion
bed, but not wishing the community to
ufler agony I have determined to
lake my departure."
Th shore explanations went from
man to man and from house to house,
and every man and woman was mean
enough to sny:
"There, didn't 1 tell you he was nil
-fcht, but you were Just Idiot enough
to differ with meP

How H. Felt.
"You ueem rath

the druggist
"Yes; I took
two bottles of
your medicine"
"And you feel
like a new man."
"I do. To prove
It I am going to

sold It to me.
Off with your
