who rorriia wvou knife woumli and the

The fai't that such a depsrtrnent bit the

We have been, as some of our friends
know, greatly hauiered In our editorial work
during the pout year by an old fashioned re
volver which could never be depended on In
an emergency. It was out of repair all
along the Una, and when we brought it down
on a man we never felt sure which of us
would get tbe content. It was aluo too large
for our pistol pocket, aud on three or four
occasion tbe other luun bad opened fire be
fore we could get it out, ,
When ArkaiiMU liiiJ met us in front of
Taylor's bank one day but summer and
0wned fire be bad pulled the trigger three
times before we could get our old shooting
iron on Hue with hi left lung. We didu't
much expect to drop bim then, a the hammer
was out of true, but when we pulled he tum

be made the mistake of hi life when be set
out to remove the editorial head of Arizona's
great woekly newspaKr.
This uew weaKin add to our editorial inal
and enterprise, and puts The Kicker on a
more cortuin foundation. We have bad ouly
one week's practice, and yet we can draw it
and send two bullet ripping through a fel
low being's carcass while an average school
boy can get bis mouth puckered to begin tbe
first line of Henry Clay's great iwech. We

IT Kkhultkd. Wis were born with a spirit
of fuir play in our coiiiusltioii which bos
never grown law. We waul to sue everybody
and everything have a fair show. For this
reason, when half a doteu of our prominent
citlseu came to us ono day lout week and
suggested a necktie party to remove "Cow

sphere on eurlh to ono a great deal higher

The assert ion of our locurfd contemporary
that we wanted to save him until he hud sub
scribed for Tho Kicker I a declaration worthy
of Hatau himself.
It was suggested that wo call upon the
gentleman numed within the quotation marks,
and throw out a hint that bo inid better walk.
We did so. He received us with chilling po
liteness, listened to our words of wisdom, and
then gave us thirteen seconds to got down

that we nuved a second or two. We warned
him what the result would be, and the result

"You got nollilu' else to do."
Old Gilbert shook his head. "Hit
mought be a ketchin' complaint, chile."
"I hate hard hearted people!" Missy
declared, bringing her little (1st down on
her kuee with violence. "And every
body on this old hill has got hear to like

"You mus tak' patience, honey," coun
seled old Gilbert. "Hit ain't mo'n three
days sence Mawse Nicholas lef us: things
gwan mend maybe."
"And It might be a thousand years!"
sighed Missy.
"Chillen mus' obey," Gilbert reminded
her.
Missy was silent a long time; then she
aid, at lust:
"Daddy Gilbert, you've got religion,
ain't you?'
"Dross de LawdP ejaculated the old
Juan, piously.

seriousness, "If you wus to make, right

little dazed between the fatigue of his
ourney and the look of strange resolve
on Missy's face.
At this assent she stood up, on me step
above him, her hair tossing in the even
ing wind, her eyes burning, her slender
hands clasped against her breast; she
looked, In the dim twilight, like a spirit.
aud old Gilbert felt awed.
"Kneel down," she said Imperiously.
Old Gilbert obeyed as though the com
mand had come from another world, as
he half believed it did.1
"Say after me," Missy dictated: "I
promise and vow, In the help of the
Lord, to keep track of Mawse Nloholas
Thome to the end of my days. Anion.
These words Missy recited with fervid
solemnity, the old negro repeating after
her, in an awe stricken voice; he thougnt
the child must surely be Inspired,
"Now," said she, in a matter of fact
tone, when this ceremony was over, "I m
goin' hack to the house and bring you
some supper. I've got to take care of
you, 'cause you've got to look after Brer
Nicholas.
Tbe old negro stood watching her as
she went along the lane. "Dat chile
ain't gwan live out half her days," he
muttered, with a sorrowful shaking of
his old head.
When Missy returned presently with
the promised supper, he declared that he
could not eat.
"Well, but you bettor," Missy Insisted.
"You got to go up to town to-morrow. I
know Aunt Elvira is goin' to send you."
Dat caw fee do smell iow ful encour-
agin', tubbe alio," he admitted, with a
slow smile, and soon found his appetite.
He had just ended his meal, when Miss
Elvira stood In the cabin door, and the
old man rose stiffly to make his awkward
obeisance.
Sit down, Gilbert, you must be tired,"
aid Miss Elvira, graciously. "Winifred,
my dear, run on back to the house; It is
too lute for you to be out."
"What s the user said Missy, with an
impatient shrug. "I know all about It
Daddy Gilbei t had been to look for Brer
Nicholas and Brer Nicholas ain't there."
"Nicholas is at Mrs. Herry's," said
Miss Elvira, wearily.
"So Missy been tellln me. Hukkom
you know, Missle-vireyr
"Mrs. Herry was here today, she an
swered, flushing. "You must go up to
town to-morrow, Gilbert. You need not
start so very eurly, and I'll see you again
in the morning."
But the next morning old Gilbert waa
ailing, and for several days thereafter
he waa unable to leave his bed. Tom
Quash, who went "up to town" three
times a week for the mail, reported to
Glory-Ann that Mawse Nick was
"mighty sick, then that he was a little
tietter, and finally that he was pro
nounced out of danger. A fortnight
later Miss Elvira added another hundred
to the sum she had already given old
Gilbert, and dispatched him on an em
bassy to her nephew.
"I ss prised at Missle-virey, mused
old Gilbert, as he jogged on his way,
with Nicholas trunk in the ox cart
"Hit alu't no mo' use 'n nolhin' 't all ter
ten'dishyer money. Mawse Nick ain't
gwan tek hit But I ain't gwan say
nothin'; when Mawse Nick done refuse
hit, I gwan put hit way; come o' use
bom-bye,"
It came to pass as Gilbert had fore-
teen; Wcholus would none of his aunts
gift, and indeed the faithful old slave
had tome difficulty In persuading him to
receive the trunk. Miss Elvira, how
ever, made no inquiry about the money;
she had not expected thanks, nor any
kind of acknowledgment, and she pre
ferred to say nothing about It
En hit aln t fur me ter go ter her
'dout I is axed," old Gilbert decided; and
very early the next morning he buried
Miss Elvira s gold where uis own savings
were hidden,
Some days later eame the news that
Nicholas hud left Tallahassee, or rather,
it was understood that Job Furnival had
taken his daughter and his son-in-law
away. It was old Gilbert who brought
this news; he had learned it through the
negroes belonging to the improvident
and despised Furnivals down the road,
whose society he now cultivated, as one
of "keeping track of Mawse

she wouid go herself to Tampa, and DaJ
dy Gilbert, having nothing particular to
do at Thorne HiJl, should go with her.
Such was Missy's present programme.
She had found starving Impracticable,
but she still maintained an unrelenting
bitterness towards her father, never
speaking to him except when Impossible

Mrs. Leonard Tlwrne and her' pretty
duughtcr, finding such a state of affairs
too irksome to be borne, made all haste

The colonel did not oppose this plan,
lie did all that he could, iu fact, to ex
pedite the work on tho house by way of
making amends for Furnlval's summary
dismissal; but after Flora waa gone his
health seemed to fail suddenly, though
he would not acknowledge that he was

The colonel for a long time resisted,
but at last he allowed himself to be per

for many years had resided In New
York. He set off alone one sad Septem

CII AFTER XV.
PBOTKST OF TUZ FIDDLES.
Hi broke away from herabruptly and ttood
ioukxng om OJ me u uiuuw. (
It was the end of October when Col.
Thorne returned. Misa Elvira welcomed
bim with a gentle and dignified self re
straint, born purtly of timidity and partly
of her notion of perfect ladyhood, and
the colonel expected nothing more from
his undemonstrative sister; but there was
perfunctoriiiossln Missy's greeting that
made him at last aware of her estrange
ment, and struck a chill to his heart.
He had brought the child some extrava
gant pieces of jewelry, but sheevlnfced
no pleasure in his gifts, and her father
noted, without comment, that she left
them lying on the table.
Tbe next morning he rode over to Ins
sister-ln-law's place. He hoped to receive
from Flora a welcome that should make
amends for wliut he missed iu hiaown
home, nor waa he disappointed. His
pretty niece met him with an affectionate
effusiveness that almost did away with
the effect of his little daughter's coldness;
but it did not escape his observation
later that Aleck Gage was in the back
ground, deporting himself with a confi
dent air.
Mrs. Leonard talked garrulously of
various things; of the improvements she
wished to make, of the Bale of her cotton,
the investment of her surplus funds, the
purchase of mules, even of her poultry;
out never a word of Aleck Gage.
The colonel deemed this reticence sig
nificant, and he rode home vexed, lie
had thought to order his smajl world ac
cording to his own will and pleasure, and
now he found it fast slipping from his
grasp his son an alien, the niece whom
he had hoped to make his daughter ready
to marry one whom he had not chosen,
and his own little daughter indifferent to
him. i
But when Flora came, two days luter,
to say that she had promised to marry
Aleck Quge in December, the colonel,
perforce, resigned himself to her choice
with dignified philosophy.
'I had allowed myself to expect a dif
ferent marriage for you, Flora, as you
know," he could not resist saying, nor
could he say it without a sigh; but he did
not say it harshly.
It was the first expression he had ever
given to his disappointed hopes, and
Flora, eager to console him, exclaimed,
with the indiscreet enthusiasm of youth:
"Aleck hasn't a fault in the world.
Uncle Jasper; he will be the best of sons
to you, if you will only let him!'
The colonel did not say that he had no
desire to claim Aleck Gage for a son,
He broke away from her abruptly and
stood looking out of the window some
little time, struggling for command of
himself. He waa still pale when he re
turned; but he spoke with a courtly dig
nity
gue-t, that the W delayed Monte
don, and so made matters worse. The
colonel is pining for a reconciliation with
his son, though he won t own it. and
Flora might do somethiag to bring it
about As for me. 1'w only meddle-l to
mar, so there's an end of my efforts.
Mrs. Thorne was very angry wita
Cousin Myrtilla for this speech.
"I don't see how you can talk of a rec
onciliation with Nicholas!" said she. I
am surprised at you! As If we Thornes
ever could consort with a Furnival!
To which Mrs. IKrry made the exas
perating retort tlmt Nick's wife was
every bit as much aThorneas Mrs. Leon-
ard herself.. " ' .
For all this, however. Mrs. Herry was
not omitted in the liat of invitations,
either to the wedding or to the merry
making at Thorne Hill; for the colouo
had announced that every connection of
the family, far and near, should be In
vited to the entertainment he meant to
give In honor of his nine's marriage.
"And ain't Brer Nicholas and his wife
klnfolks?' asked Missy, with bold signifi
cance. She did not fear her father.and
yet her poor little heart fluttered wildly
when she put this daring question.
The colonel's only answer was a dark,
forbidding frown, and Missy betook her
self to a corner.
"Don't you fret 'bout dat, honey,
whisiiered Mom Bee. "now don't you;
fur de la gwan be de fiddlersen de
dancin', en' plum cuke a-plenty."
"Don't want none!" said Missy, who
had given herself an indigestion by the
surreptitious gormandizing of raisins and
citron.
En' besides all dat," proceeded Glory
Ann to her overwhelming climax, "you
gwan be dressed so spruce en' gayi 7
cousins, Miss Lotty eu' Miss Bess, in pink,
en you in a hebeuly blue."
. Poor little Missy, who was fond of
dress, dried her tears and reconsidered
her determination to abstain front tho
wedding festivities for her absent broth
er's sake. ,'
But not even the companionship or
Lottie and Bess, not even the dress of
"hebeuly blue," nor the sound of tbe
music, nor tho sight of the niary dunce,
could shut out the memory of Nicholas.
"Oh, Lottie, ain't them fiddles just
dreadfulT she lamented. "They're al
ways savin', 'Nicholas, Nicholas, whey's
Brer Nicholas?' no matter what the
chune they play." .
"Why, Missy, what a funny child you
are!" said Lottie, with a giggle; but
presently Bess declared that the fiddles
did say just whut Missy thought; and if
the truth were confessed, they said very
nearly the same thing to the colonel and
Miss Elvira; the name that no guest
dared mention rang in their ears, no
matter what tune the fiddles played.

Tht colonel lifted hit hat
A few days after these wedding festiv
ities Miss Elvira sent old Gilbert to curry
a basket of cake to some friends four ot
five miles distant. Gilbert could easily
have ridden a mule and carried the bas
ket, but the ox cart enabled him to con
vey a load of birch brooms and shuck
mats, for which he hoped to find a mar
ket bvthe way. The most of the day
was consumed in this jaunt, and it was
late In the wintry afternoon when he
ionmpvpf! homeward.
j - ,
As he turned the corner of the brier
field, where the innumerable denuded
stalks of many growths were making a
mournful rustling in the evening wind,
he was surprised to see a woman trudg'
ing along in the narrow, sandy road that
skirted the wood. She was going in the
same direction as himself, and her back
was towards him, but there was some
thing in her tall, gaunt figure, clad in
russet brown, and wrapped in a scanty
bawl of red and green plaid, something
in the determined manner of her gait,
that had a strangely familiar look to old
Gilbert's eyes. He urged the black ox
to an unwilling trot, and presently over
took this solitary wayfarer, who turned
her head as she stepped aside, and old
Gilbert recognized Roxanna W lute. ;
"Whv. tubbe shol" he muttered to
himself. "Whoa, Brandy!" ; ,
Gilbert had long ago decided that this
woman was no common "po' bukra."
She commanded Ills involuntary respect
by the subtle magnetism of character,
and moreover she had the advantage, in
his eyes, of belonging, hi a way, to
Mawse Nick; wherefore hefolt that it
behooved him to do hie best manners.
