jQlvlnqr a Joker.
My Undo Eben was a grave old joker
that is, he was always grave when ho
joked, but ho could laugh, be sure. Aye
when the laughing fit was fairly upon
him, his ebullition was uproarious.
Once upon a time a party of young stu
dentsdivinity students were on a visit
at Uncle Ellen's mansion; for he was a
wealthy man, retired from commerce, and
spending tbe evening of his days in lux
urious ease and independence. Uncle
John was Ebcu's younger brother, and a
clergyman, and the students above spoken
of were pursuing their theological studies
with Her. John, and had come with him,
by earnest invitation, to spend as long a
time as they might choose at the mansion
of "The Oaks," as Uncle Eben called his
place.
Very soon the hoit began to exhibit his
joking propensities, and there were times
when he carried the thing a little beyond
the bounds of propriety. Never mind
the hundred different ways in which, in
the coarse of a couple of weeks, he con
trived to get a laugh upon one or another,
or upon all of his guests; nor did he
spare his reverend brother.
At length an opportunity of paying
Uncle Eben off in his own coin o tiered of
too tempting a character to be resisted.
The party had been out upon, the lake
fishing. Their boat was a broad, round
bottomed gondola, large enough to car
ry thirty persons comfortably, and pro
pelled by sweeps. In her bottom, nearly
amidships, was a large plug which could
be removed to let water out when the
boat had been pullt-d ashore, or by means
of w"hich water could be let in should
occasion require.
"Well, on the occasion referred to, Uncle
-ben and six of the students bad been
out several hours, and if they had not
caught many fish it was simply because
the old joker had been full of fan and
pranks all the time. As they approached
the shore the wind was blowing quite
fresh, and setting directly out. The old
man was always the last one to leave the
boat. The students had concocted their
plan, and were readr for outline it into
execution. They leaped from the boat
as soon as her bow touched, taking the
oars witn tnem, and the last one adroitly
pulled out the plug, and as be landed he
gave the boat a push that seat her away
irom tne snore, and the strong wind wait
ea tier tanner and iartner on witn con
siderable speed.
For a little time Uncle Eben's atten
tion was directed to finding something
witn wnicn to set the boat shoreward,
but not a thing was at band. Presently
a loud howl told that be had discovered
the greater danger. The boat was filling
rapidly with water. Of course the young
rascals on shore made great show oranx
ietv. They few around furiously: hal
loed to their host, asking him what they
could do to nelp turn; and nnally, wtien
thev saw the old gondola almost ready
to sink, two of them got a small skill
off, and put out to -his rescue, reaching
him, as they had evidently intended, just
as he was floundering in the water, itii
a mighty effort they got bis two hundred
and thirty pounds avoirdupois into the
skiff, and pulled for the shore, leaving
tne gondola for others to fish up.
The old man said not a word to inti
mate that he was vexed, or that he held
any suspicions of a practical joke. In
rather a concerned manner, however, as
though the greater danger was to come,
fie said He Hoped tne involuntary bath
wouldn't bring on his old fever and
ague.
As the party started for home, Uode
.ten was really sad and melancholy.
The fun had all died out of his rotund
face, and his speech was sorrowful. Once
or twice be seemed almost ready to err.
The young men knew not what to make
ol it. They wondered if it could be pot
sible that their little joke had affected
their host's well-being. They began to
I eel uncosuortaule.
At supper time Uncle Eben sent down
and aaked to be excused. lie had no ap
petite for eating. An hour later be came
down into the great drawing-room,
wrapped op in a blanket and a shawl,
and lay down upon a sofa. The physi
cian Had been sent for.
At cine o'clock the old man was seized
with convulsion, and bis bowlings and
crossings were terrible to hear. If there
had been any mystery in the matter, Un
cle Eben .had whispered it to his wife at
the outset, and she had caught the doctor
ui uie uait, ana wmsperea it 10 aim.
The doctor examined Ms patient, and
loo iced grave and dubious.
"The system has received a terrible
shock 1 a dreadful shock T he said. And
then be examined more critically.
It is doubtful if ix mortals more pain
fully unhappy and agonizingly regretful
could be found anywhere than were those
six theological jokers. They were pale
and n us bed by turns, and tneir feelings
grew more and more harrowing. At
length, when they could endure their
self-condemnation no longer, the; all
sank down spon their knees by the side
of the sofa whereon their host was gasp
ing.
"0, Uncle Eben 1 our friend and bene
1 actor 1 good, noble man! can you ever
forgive us for the deed we didt O, we
did not mean you ham Heaven knows
itl O, do get wcill Can you forgive?"
A brief space of silence, and then Un
cle x.bea sat up. lie attempted to speak,
but his feelings got the better of him
and he burst burst into a laughter, loud,
lone aad uproarious. At first the stu
dents fearec it was a freak of insanity,
but they quickly comprehended the truth
comprehended that the old fellow bad
been playing upon their emotions most
outrageously, and that they bad been
sold.
uWelL young gentlemen," he said,
when he could command his speech, "I'll
forgive you on these conditions: You
shall join me in drinking a cold-water
toast to the man who had the last laugh
and to-Borrow yoa shall lift the old gon
dola aad bring her -to the shore."

dinner, Gabriel took the liberty of calling

"Well," said the laird, really offend

"Hour, tout, laird " replied Gabriel

So, up, young man, and strallwrar go
To the A! trie Monstrous Never-falling

Charley Lancdon read the advertise
ment, and swallowed it.
"Dear Molly" he said, to the blue-
yed damsel who fondly hoped, one of
these days, to unite her life with his,
why should we wait longer! Here we
can get every tiling we want for furnish
ing our bouse everything from cellar to
attic for kitchen, parlor, lvedroom and
hall and the amount to be paid down is
a mere bagatelle.
Molly read the advertisement read
the poetry, and read about the trreat
ings which Suckcrman was throw
ing all about him, to be picked up and
appropriated by those who were wise.
"Hut," she suggested, "it has all got to
be paid for at some time.1
. j
you sec the amount we shall have to pay
"Certainlv " said Charley; "but don't
monthly will only amount to & sum equal
to what a fair rental would be; and thus,
in the end, we shall own the property all
clear. I declare, Molly, it is a great
thing. Just think of it; the furniture is
really paying for itself. The use we shall
get from it will be worth all we shall
pay lor the hrst year; and that rent is
buying the whole thing. Come, darling.
let us go and see."
Molly could not refuse that; so, on the
following day, she went with her lover
to the JJagie Jlonstrous rtever-failing
All-containing Emporium of Suckermaa
& Co.
Things did not look exactly as Charley
had expected to find them looking.
There was a disagreeable smell of paint
and benzine, and that all-prevading,
nameless horror so ghostly and coffin-
lite, which comes of sew, cheap varnish.
And then things were not as cheap as he
bad anticipated. But be bad come for a
purpose; he was young aad buoyant; his
hope was enormous, aad he allowed that
uope to oecome assurance, aau uca :

.Holly was charmed bv the man s talk.
Poor child 1 She did cot know the world
as she will know it later in life. And
Charley was captivated. Of course it
was as ilr. Suckermaa said;
Nothing in the world caa so put vim
aad energy into a young man as to have
a beautiful home to pay for."
At the moment, with the prospect of a
home ready made to band before him, he
did not pive doe thought to the much
better thing of a lams paid for.
Ah! the .Installment i'lan was aa im
mense thing!

trivial things, separately priced, came to
swell ia the aggregate! Six hundred dol
lars aad be had not selected an article
not really needed. Of course, on the
celebrated Installment I'iaa, where the
trade was entirety for the benefit of the
buyer, said buyer could sot expect re
duction of price. However, only one
hundred dollars was to be paid down.
i or the remainder Charley was to give
five notes, of one hundred dollars each,

tjust to have the busiaess straight aad
ship-shape," ilr. Suckermaa took a bill-of-sale
of the goods. That was the way
he always did, aad had fouad it worked
to a charm.
The rest of the story it sxm told. Ere
long Charley Lancdon began to realize
that be was not living in his own home.
Every once ia a while Mr. Suckermaa,
sailing benignly aad patroaiziogly,
would drop in and look over the furniture
to see how it wore, aad how much
comfort it yielded, he said but Molly
knew that be came to make sure that he
was sot being robbed.
Unfortunately, Charley was able to par
the first note when due we say unfortu
nately, because it was, in the cad, to
amount to only so much rent. The
second note found him bard pushed. It
cost him something to live, and be would
not run in debt for his food aad clothing
if he could help it. Upon the second
note he asked for further time. Mr.
Suckermaa was willing, but he wanted a
benut. The "bonus" Charley found to be
jast about Shylock's pound of flesh. He
made up his mind that be would not pay
it, whereupon Mr. Suckermaa's benign
smile vanished, and be prepared to sbow
the young husband and wife bow "like
a charm' the bill-of-sale of his Install
ment Plan worked. He carted the fur
niture all back to his store every article,
even to the few unused lamp-wicks
leaving the borne naked and bare.
Charley, in his indignation, consulted a
legal friend, by whom bo was informed
that be couid do nothing.
"Mr. Suckermaa had you hard and
fast, my dear boy. I know what his
bilts-of-sale arc Had you observed criti
cally at the time, you would have dis
covered that, until the last payment bad
been made, and your sign-manual recov
ered from Ids hands, every dollar inter
mediately paid by you was only so much
for Qit un uf the goods.
Un the following day Charley lang-
doa fouBd a boardinc-place for himself
and wife, while at the grand emporium
of Suckcrman & Co., his furniture was
being repolished fur the next young
couple who might wish to furnish a home
upon the Installment Plan.
