this story: "When I was young I wus
4he most bashful boy west of the Alle
ghanles. I wouldn't look at a girl,
much less speak to a maiden; but for
all that I fell desperately lu love with
a sweet, beautiful neighbor girl. It
was a desirable match on both sides,
nd the old folks saw the drift nnd fixed
Hup. I thought I should die just

or lu culture to the boys. I fixed the
day a far off a 1 could have it put,
I lay awake In cold perspiration as tha
day drew near, and shivered with
agony a I thought of the terrible

I felt Ilka fleeting to I he woods, pend
Ing the night In the barn, leaving for
the west never to ret urn. I wa deeply
devoted to Halite. I loved her harder
than a mule cno kick, but that dreadful

candle, and you a lll find your room
Just over this Com! night, mercy on
your soul,' and with a mlschevlou
twinkle of his eye, the old man left tha
room. When I heard hhn close a din-
taut dtsir, I staggarod lo my loct, aud
seized the candle hi a nervous grip,
kuew that It could not be avoided, and
yet I hcwltated to meet my fate like
man. A happy thought struck me. I
hastily cllnik'd the stairs, marked the
position of the landing, and the door
of tha bridal chamber. I would have
died before I would have dlsrolied In
that holy chamber, where awaiting me
was a trembling aud beautiful girl, I
would make the ustiul preparation
without, blow out the light, open tba
door and friendly darkness would at
least mitigate the horror of the altua
tlon. It wa soon done. Preparations
for retiring were few and simple in
their character in Hickman, although
consisting of disrobing. The dreadful
moment had come, I wa ready.
