"GRAN'MA AL'US DOES."
BT H. A. POK.
I wants to mend my wagon,
And has to have some nails;
Jns' two, free will be plenty,
We're going to haul our rails.
The splendidest cob fences
We're rnakin' ever was!
I wis' you'd help us find 'em,
Gran'ma al'us does.
My horse's name is Betsey
Shejumjied and broke her head,
I put her in the stable
And fed her milk and bread.
The stable's in the parlor;
We didn't make no muss:
I wis' you'd let it stay there,
Gran'ma al'us does.
I's going to the cornfield
To ride on Charlie's plow;
I 'spect he'd like to have me
I wants to go right now
Oh, won't I gee up awful,
And woa like Charley woas;
I wis' you wouldn't bozzer,
Gran'ma never does.
I want's some bread and butter,
I's hungry worstest kind;
But Taddie mu.-m't have none,
'Cause she wouldn't mind.
Put plenty sugar on it
Tell you what, I knows
It's right to put on sugar,
Gran'ma al'us does.

"What an odd little name for a young
lady Pen!" said Roy Delbert, to jVIiss
Dane, who bad been speaking of ber
cousin.
"A diminutive," replied Dahlia Dane,
suppressing a yawn bebind ber fan, as if
tired of the subject. She was named
Penelope for an aunt of ours who left
her littU income enough to buy ribbons
and gloves with Heigho I what a very
hot day it is!
And Miss Dane looked down the road,
as if she would like to behold a chariot
and six horses coming to bear her from
the sufferings of that sultry afternoon.
But Boy continued to gaze down the
garden, where a young girl was busily
cutting heliotrope and carnations.
She had not a pretty face, but it was a
singularly interesting one, with dark
eyes, gentle, tender, and framed by nat
ural waves and curls of dark brown hair.
The profusion of hair was knotted back
by a cherry ribbon, the only bit of color
about Ten, while JJahlia wore a ncn,
silken robe of mingled purple and
scarlet.
Such rich tints suited the stately,
handsome girl. Boy often told her so,
and wished to put her in a picture as
Cleopatra, but Miss Dane declined. If
it had been for another kind of charac
tor! But Boy Dalbert was not that sort
of man to care three straws for a Cleo
patra
And here he was looking his eyes out
after a girl who might have sat for a
Miranda or an Ophelia, while the blue
Dane blood was coursing through that
stately body with a tumult and rapidity
which seemed impossible to one who
only knew Dahlia Dane as she appeared
She seldom seemed moved by any
emotion. She was stately, graceful, cor
rect in deportment, and striking for her
superb health and habit of wearing rich
colors
Boy bad known her for a year, and had
never asked himself the question if he
could love her. It was a pity, perhaps,
for Dahlia Dane loved him with all
the foree of a strong and repressed nature.
imperious and resolute, a certain m
dolenee and voluptuousness of tempera
ment made her seem far gentler than she
was. Boy had often referred to her
beauty, to his artist friends in the city
so freely as to make it impossible that he
should be in love with her such are the
subtleties of love!
Miss Dane rose, picked a book and
crimson scarf from a piazza chair
"Come into the dining-room, and I
will order an ioe for von," she said.
"Excuse me for one moment," Bey re
plied, and ran down the piazza steps.
In an instant he had come quickly be
hind the little white-robed figure.
"Miss Fay, you are losing your sweet
est flowers!
Over Pen's simple dress of snowy cam
bric was tied an apron of white linen,
one corner of which having slipped from
her hand as she reached among the
vines, cutting here and there a blossom,
her fragrant treasures were falling fast
upon the gravel path.
She turned hurriedly, and stood a pic
ture 01 momentary dismay, while Boy
bent at her feet and promptly -repaired
the accident.
"Thank you!" she said, when the last
spray of pale heliotrope was restored to
the white apron. "How very stupid I
must have looked to you and Dahlia,
losing my flowers as fast as I gathered
them!"
He did not speak ; but the sparkling
glance resting on her face did not seem
to imply the fault of stupidity. But Miss
Dane was waiting, and he- went back to
the piazza.
When he had taken orange sherbert in
the dining room, he asked Dahlia to
show him the swans. But the young
lady declined . having for the time a de
cided aversion to the garden.
"It is far too hot to walk on the ter
races this afternoon. This evening when
the air is cool, or any other day, with
pleasure."
Boy, disappointed, shortly put on his
hat and went to his hotel. He had
meant to stop at the arbor, where he saw
making bouquets, and ask her to

"I had rather stay here, if you will al
lcwiat," he re-died, coolly seating him
self; and was ; warded for this bit of au
dacity by Pen's readily consenting to
play and sing for him. .
It was only a brief half-honr he had
before "Dahlia discovered the situation,

otherwise than make the. best possible

impossibility.

He did not see her again in that time.
It was not strange, for Pen was proud,
too, in her way.
"I did not know you were so fond of
gentlemen's, society as to intercept my
visitors," Dahlia had said, sneeringly,
that day, after Boy had gone.
Pen, stung to the quick by all the in
sult implied, after one silent, indignant
glance, afterward absented herself from
the very house whenever Boy entered it.
It was only a little way from her re
treat in the woods, back of Thrushlands'
bright grounds, that Roy walked with
Dahlia and gave her his confidence, but
it was so far among the oaks and chest
nuts that she heard never a word, though
she eould plainly see his figure and the
crimson and black of Dahlia's dress
herself undiscovered.
"Miss Dane Dahlia," he said "I
want to tell you something which I have
long kept secret, because it is very
precious to me. Will yon hear it ?"
He did not observe the quick blood
mantle her smooth cheek; he only saw
that she consented, readily to sit on the
mossy rock to which he handed her, and
listen.
This earnestness and tender courtesy
what did it mean but that he was hers,
after all ?
"I want yon to be kind to me," be
said, slowly. "I am going to confess to
you that I love your cousin Pen, and
ask her to give you this letter."
He held the letter before ber, but she
could not see it for the red cloud of pas
sion that swept before her eyes.
"I have tried to say awkwardly
enough probably what is in my heart.
But if she is what I believe her to be,
she will be tender of such shortcomings.
Say, Dahlia, you have known her long
is she not as gentle, sweet and truthful
as a little girl can be?"
Though you do not love Dahlia Dane,
reader, you might have pitied her then,
the enthusiasm of those handsome,
upraised eyes sent such a stab to her
Lart.
"She has a very nice disposition, and
will appreciate this, no doubt," taking
the letter.
"It will be safe in your bands, and
you will give it to her soon?" were Boy's
words as he assisted her to rise; and they
walked on.
When Dahlia Dane was alone that
night, she looked her door, tore open
the letter and read its every word.
It was a noble and manly letter one
she would have given her great fortune
to have had addressed to herstlf by Roy
Dalbert. I do not know what prevented
her destroying it, for she meant that it
should never reach her cousin's hand.
But this she did not do. She slipped the
sheet again into the envelope, and placed
the letter in a Japanese writing-desk,
where it lay undisturbed a whole year.
The next morning Pen was sent up
into New Hampshire to nurse an invalid
aunt.
When, on the evening of the second
day, Boy rode over to Thrushlands,
Dahlia said:
"Of course, I delivered your letter at
once, and with pleasure; but my cousin
has been called from home by the illness
of one of the family. She promised to
write to you soon."
Roy was not suspicious. If he had
been, he might have made some in
quiries of others, and learned that the
illness referred to was but the chronic
complaints of old age, and that Miss
Charity Dane had a retinue of servants
at her beck and oall, and did not heed
Pu at all.
In truth, all unemployed, she was
wandering about the rich house, looking
wistfully from every window, and try
ing, with the worst success possible, to
forget Roy Dalbert.
She had been so many years alona,
was so utterly unloved, that it was cruel
that one little taste of sweetness, so
quickly withdrawn.
But iJaluia shall never say with
truth that I sought him," she murmured,
even with the tears dashing down her
face.
Dahlia had calculated rightly that the
Dalbert pride would -not permit Boy to
write again. He waited first with hope,
then with anxiety, at last in the cruelest
suspense for an answer to his letter. Be
ing certain that she had received it, he
could finally come to no decision but
that he had been deceived in her. The
weet light of those eyes was but a will-
o -the-wisp, with no substance. His own
delusion had made her tender and true
impossible to be unkind to the meanest
thing that loved her. He had offered
her an honest man s best affection at
least she need not have scorned it, he
said, bitterly.
He would not talk of the matter even
with Dahlia, but, still pursuing the
downward path, she sought, in every
way possible, to strengthen his resent
ment against Pen, and destroy his faith
in her.
One day, when she was riding with
her groom, she was thrown from her
horse. She did not seam much injured
at first; a slight wound only had been
made upon her breast. But it did not
heal. Weeks and months went by. The
physician came, and came again, and
shook his head.
It could not be he said, to Dahlia's
parents ; "Miss Dane was too young for
such a developement, which is almost in
variably confined to persons of mature
years."
Dahlia was but twenty -five years old.
but the time had come for her to die.
There was no denying that the hopeless
gap in that white flesh was a cancer of
the most malignant and unyielding
kind.
When too weak to walk about the
house; she lay in her chamber thinking
about it. Boy Dalbert she had not seen
for months, but when she heard one day
that he was on the eve of starting for
Europe, she bade them call Pen home.
Fen had never loved Dahlia, but when
she saw how she had changed, she sobbed.
"Hush, child! Dou't cry for me cry
for your own wrongs. Can I not see that
you have already almost wept yourself
blind up there among the hills? Take
that letter from the desk. See, it is
directed to you. Roy Dalbert loves
you!"
it was the last conscious hour Dahlia
Dane ever knew, though she lived many
weeks. Pen, alone with the clue to his
tangle in her hands, was brave. She
wrote to Roy Dalbert.
I could not permit myself to write to
yon, but that you believe I have done
you a great wrong, and as I beg you to
come.

his departure; but be let the steamer de

Killed by a Mustang.
It was a clear moonlight night when,
after a hard day's "drive," and the herd
of wild horses had been penned, the cow
boys stripped their tired ponies of sad
dles and bridles, and staked them out to
graze on the thick mesquit grass which
fringed the grass of the San Bernardo.
After duty had been attended to, the
cooking utensils were brought forth, and
soon the coffee-pet was singing, a musical
little song, and a leg of fresh calf-ribs
spluttering before the fire. The repast,
though rough, was made enjoyable by an
appetite which only violent exercise and
pure air can give, and after the boys had
eaten until it became necessary to un
buckle their six shooter belts, blankets
were spread under the branches of a live
oak, which seemed to stand guard ever
the broad expanse of prairie, vnd they
settled down for a quiet smoke.
"I tell you what, boys," said Ned Cur
tis, who was one of the hardest riders
and best poker players west of the
Brazos, as he lit a cigarette, "we are go
ing to handle some pretty rough mus
tangs to-morrow, and if any of you fel
lows want to show your fancy riding you
had better be fixing your flank-girts and
rolls, because there are some branded
four-year-olds in that bnnch that are go
going to make you hum like a churn
dasher, and you'll have to fork 'em deep
to stay in the saddle. There is one in
the pen that is a perfect picture of the
mustang mare that sent Bill Hall to the
angels."
"Wasn't he some galoot from the old
States ?" inquired one of the boys, turn
ing over on bis blankets.
"Yes," replied Ned, "he was a long,
tow-headed chap, greener than an August
persimmon, with legs shaped like a pair
of hams."
"How did he happen to get killed,
Ned ? Did the mare flirt with him a lit
tle too strong ?"
"Yes, that was the way of it. You see,
he had just come from Georgy, and had
never been on the back of a wild horse
before in his life, but he was spunky
with all of that, and wasn't scared of
anything. One day while driving out
in Nueces county we made 'round np' of
all the horses in the range, and after
'cutting out' all that were in the 'dia
mond P' brand, the boys began throwing
some down and riding 'em, just to see the
wild devils 'buck.'
"Well, Bill Hall took a darn fool no
tion to ride one himself, and he picked
out a little Roman-nosed mustang mare,
pure Spanish and wilder than a cayote,
and got some of the boys to help throw
her down, because he didn't know any
more about handling a lariat than he did
about running a prayer meeting.
"When the saddle had been strapped
on her, and Bill forked it, she was turned
loose, and the crowd stood back to see
the fun. Well, sir, that plug raised her
head, looked back, bellowed a couple of
times, and then she lit into the prettiest
bucking I ever looked at. 'Stick to her,
Bill!' I yelled, but the only thing he
oould say was, 'Whoa! stop her, boys;
darn her old hide.'
"While he had his knees gripped to
her sides like a vice, and bis hair stand
ing like a brush heap, the mustang
stretched herself out like a step-ladder,
put her head between her front legs, and
then, bringing herself together like a rat
trap, she slammed iSill Hall against the
ground harder tbrn I ever heard a fel
low hit before. When we picked him up
one ear was lammed around to the bock
of his neck, and, from the look on his
face, we knew he wasn't long for this
world. He lingered for a day or two
and we did all we could to ease his pain,
but one morning he motioned for us to
come to him, and as I knelt beside his
couch, and took his hand in mine, he
said: 'Boys. I m going to pass in my
checks, iiut I ain't going to shiver about
it, even if I do die away out on the
prairie, with no one but a few friends
around me. I'll have a big, broad bed
to rest tn, and if some day you ride by
my grave won't you get down and think
of me awhile
"Well, sir, the boys the ornary onss)
were crying like women, and I felt ter
ribly shaken myself, but we all promised
that we would, and then he raised him
self a little and in a faint voice said:
'Ned, I want you to write to my mother
and tell her I wasn t a very dutiful son,
but I loved her lust the same
" 'Ned," he muttered, so faint I could
hardly hear him, 'don't tell my folks
when you write that I was slid into
heaven by a mustang,' and with that he
fell back, his grasp on my hand relaxed,
and Bill Hall was on this earth no more,
and when I thought how his mother
would grieve it made me feel weak in the
knees.
"We buried him, and Jack Jones, who
is something of a schollar, because he
had a chance to go to school down in
Bay Prairie, wrote on the headboard of
the grave:

"It always makes me feel bad when I
think of that poor fellow, and how to
day he sleeps on the bank of the Santa
Gertrudes with nothing but a big live
ik to mark his last resting place in the
bosom Of the prairie. - Do any of you
fellows want a little draw-poker to
night?" A Man In the Bed.
A lady residing on Fourth street, and
who bad been temporarily left at home
by her husband, who was away from
town on a business trip, was shocked on
going into her room an evening or two
since to discover what appeared to be a
man stretched prone upon ber bed, with
the cover drawn close about him. Her
first impulse was to flee, screaming, from
the room, but a second thought came,
and with it nerve enough to pnt the
thought into execution. The lady step
ped noiselessly into an adjoining room
and armed herself with a club. She re
turned with it and touched the object of
her fright. There was no sign of life.
She touched it again, and still harder,
but still the object did not move.
She now thought the man was
sleeping. And a third thought
came. Hurrying into another room she
procured a bottle of chloroform, satu
rated a cloth with the drowsy drug,
crept back to the bedside and spread the
cloth over the sleeping man's face.
When it-hod been there a minute or two
she knew her foe was vanquished. She
now ran out and told her neighbors what
had occurred. Men armed themselves
with guns and sticks and marched in
solid phalanx to where the interloper
lay. The cloth and the bedclothes were
carefullv removed and the object be
neath them was plainly revealed to sight.
It proved to be nothing more than a
staffeJ dummy with a false face upon it.
The lady's young son had fixed it up,
thinking to give his mother a scare. She
didn't scare, though, worth a cent, and
her brave conduct ha made her the
heroine of the neighborhood. We have
told this story just as it ws told to us.
Waco (Texas) ifixi
Dobson as a Roof Climber.
A few days ago Dobson's wife deter
mined that as winter was coming on, it
would be necessary to cover the roof
with a coating of fire-proof paint. Dob
son agreed that the protection of the
family against the fire fiend was the first
law of nature. Would Dobson be so
kind as to go up and measure the super
ficial area of the roof? Certainly, the
head of the bouse waa of the opinion
that nothing would be easier than to
climb up to the roof and measure it,
that the amount of paint needed might
be determined. He put a two-foot rule
in his pocket and clambered up on the
rear of the bouse by way of the trellis
work. He measured the end of the
gable, and then crawled along on the
ridge-pole on his bands and knees,
measuring as he went and tearing his
pants on the nails. Then a gust of
wind took him off the ridge-pole,
but by falling into a space between two
extensions of the house he saved his
neck. His profanity and antics brought
a crowd of boys to the spot, who began
to evince great interest in tne proceed
ings. When he gathered himself up he
had forgotten bow many feet the ridge
pole measured and so he was obliged to
go over it again . He measured all the
separate conformations of the roof and
figured up the square feet on a shingle.
Then he started down over the trellis
work. He got down bringing with him
$20 worth of trellis work, spoiling a suit
of clothes, and dislocating his-leg.
"What are the figures ?" asked his
wife as she brushed her lord off.
"They are up on the east end of the
roof," roared Dobson, "and if you have
any more curiosity than i, climb up and
get 'em. When I struck the last time
they seemed to get jolted out of my
head."
An intelligent carpenter was immedi
ately given the contract. He in five
minutes got at the proposition by
measuring the ground floor.
Duration of Arctic Winter.
Lieutenant Schwatka also read a short
paper on the duration of the Arctic win
ter. The generally received opinion,
said he, that the Arctic winter, especially
in the higher latitudes, is a long, dreary
one of perfect opaque darkness, is not
strictly correct. In latitude 83 degrees
20 minutes 20 seconds N., the highest
point ever reached by man, there are
four hours and forty-two minutes of
twilight on December 22d, the shortest
day in the year in the Northern Hemis
phere. In latitude 82 degrees 27 min
utes N., the highest point where white
men have wintered, there are six hours
and two minutes in the shortest day, and
latitude 84 degrees 32 minutes N.. 172
geographical miles nearer the North
Pole than Markham reached, and 328
geographical miles from that point, must
yet be attained before the true Plutonic
zone, or that one in which there is no
twilight whatsoever, even upon the short
est day of the year, can be said to have
beu entered by man. Of course about
the beginning and ending of this twilight,
it is very feeble and easily extinguished
by even the slightest mists, but never
theless it exists, and is quite apprecia
ble on clear, cold days or nights, prop
erly speaking. The North Pole itself is
only shrouded in perfect blackness from
November 13th to January 29th, a
period of seventy-seven days. Sup
posing that the sun has set (supposing
a circumpolar sea or body ot water un
limited to vision) on September 14th, not
to rise until March 18th, for that particu
lar point, giving a period of about fifty
days of uniformly varying twilight, the
Pole has about 188 days of continuous
daylight, 100 days of varying twilight,
and 77 of perfect inky darkness (save
when the moon has a northern declina
tion) in the period of a typical year. Dur
ing the period of a little over four days,
the sun shines continuously on both the
North and South Poles at the 'same time,
owing to refraction parallax, semi-diameter
and dip of the horizon. Proceed
