HE LOOKED LIKE ME
One evening, in tbe winter of 1874. oil
r -way home in' a Pendleton street car
nj attention was attracted to two elder
ly ladies, who sat near where I stood.
The only reason 'for my-noticing them
was the ' fact ' that 'they seemed to be
quite agitated about me
t : They shot glances at me and pat their
heads dose, together and talked in ear
test : tones, and they carried it so far
that, while no' one else in ; the car no
ticed it so far as 1 saw. I was so con
scious that'' t ' was being observed and
disuoased that 1 was on the point of get
ting ont ( They , were not unladylike,
bat were evidently so much occupied
"With what interested theui. whatever
it ' 'was, that they 1 did ' not ' realize ' 'that
they were making things uncomfortable
fur a person of my sensitiveness. '
t They left the carat the Miami railroad
-Station, and both, as they went ont, took
square look ' into my face, averted
though it was.
; Some two weeks after this affair one
of the same ladies came into my office
and introduced herself as Mrs. Seymour,
and desired some professional advice and
assistance. I recollected her at once as
one of the street car ladies, although
neither made the least in tarnation that
we had ever seen each other before. I
did a little, writing, and she soon took
leave of me, to come again in a few days,
when something farther was to be done
At the next interview both the ladies
came, and I had an opportunity to ob
serve them closely They were both past
fifty one not far from sixty I imagined
them to be ladies in good circumstances
as afterward appeared and both were,
without the least doubt, thoroughly well
bred and intelligent women The second
lady gave her name as Miss Susan Tim
ber lake.
Their business did 'uot amount to
mnch. and had. in fact, very little in it.
but they saw me several times, and ai
rways increased the air of- mysteryand
suspicion which surrounded them from
the first.
At the last interview we had in my
office, while we were together a patrol
man came in, to whom oue of the ladies
said in a quiet tone. "This is tbe man:
take him along." .
The officer said he had a warrant for
xny arrest, and wished me to go with him
' to the Hammond street police station.
1 should shirk the truth if I did not ad
mit that I was appalled and frightened
.However I looked, I felt very pale, but I
asked to see the warrant, which was pro
duced : It charged one' Charles Wilson
.Murray with being a fugitive from jus
tice, with the usual formalities 1
quietly informed the man that 1 was not
Charles Wilson Murray, but one of the
ladies, more by a gesture than by' any
spoken word, ordered him not to hesi
tate. . It was quite dusk, and we made a
aoleinn- . little procession along Third
street and up Hammond to the bastile.
Arrived there. 1 observed that 1 was
not unexpected, and then . I was con
fronted by a comely young woman, who
evinced from the first a degree of m ter
cet in me which seemed like a volcano
of suppressed affection The charge
against, M array was that he- had desert
d his wife, but had omitted to desert a
Jot of her money and bonds I was sup
posed to be Mnrray, ami the young wo
man was Mr .Murray , ;;v ; -
In vain 1 assured them that i was not
Murray, and that I had no stolen money
or bonds. They cared nothing for . the
propertyi" but -tbey Implored; me ; to ' ac
knowledge my identity and "to return
with them to the home which was deso
late without me Ail that 1 aaid.to con-i
vinos them that 1 was not Mnrray
eemed tohave aq. effect whatever, and
finally Mrs. Murray told the officers that
. J had a mark on my left side, above the

before they seized me to examine my
person the late Captain James L.. Rnffin,
who knew me well, and 'whom, of
course, the officers knew, happened , in.
. and upon bis assurance 1 was' dis--ejharged..
: ; it was .solemnly promised on
all sides that nothing should be said
about the affair, and all record of it, as
Xar as possible, was then and there de
stroyed. ...
Before we separated,, however,'.. Mrs.
Murray spoke in- tba -tenderest way of
the baby, and the next day. at their re
quest. 1 called at the Oibson House and
there 8w the baby, and confirmed my
self i in- toe 'belief t haj'they were good,
very well to do people, in ;a frantic, search
of the absent Mr. Murray, whom. they
;jwiBbed not to'pnnish for any wrong, or
supposed wrong that he had "done, bat
rather to induce him to return to them
and receive from them nothing but love
and kindness.

That evening Itev.-- Oeorge Beecher

dogs and guns, arrived at our lodgiug

prairie chicken shooting was as' good as
the duck shooting, and 1 determined to
try it the next morning early 1 found
a man who knew the country and hail a
horse, a wagon and a dog. He agreed
to take rue out. But before 1 concluded
with him 1 asked him if he knew where
Mr. Myers lived He said that he had
never seen the man that he knew of, but
he knew that a man by that name lived
in a cabin some six miles back in the j burg on business.

over some fine prairie going in that di- ;

' That evening, while Dr. Kimball was

god of him. and he soon felt himself
! being suffocated with an. excess of affec

I never conghed or sneezed, without
patting all three ladies into more or less

We traveled toward the residence of Mr
Myers, and about noon reached it. It
was a log cabin of three rooms, one of
which looked like the summer camp of a
gentleman. There were guns and traps.
btots and books, cigar boxes and some
old magazines lying about in careless
confusion We found a woman in
charge, and an old man who seemed to
be nearing the shore line: . -
1 asked the old fellow if Mr. Myers
was at homei and he replied only by a
quizzical look and an idle wave of the
hand'. But the wonian eyed me from
head to foot and disappeared hastily.
The old man thought i was Myers him
self with different clothes on, but the
woman took me to be his twin brother.
Presently Mr. Myers himself appeared.
It is not worth while to describe hiin.
Whoever has seen me has seen him. and
after that ,no.one. will doubt that he ap
peared well and behaved better Ac

he. gave us the. best entertainment the

nothing in the world so much as a male
friend and the society of gentlemen. ""
He said if that child was a boy he
would not feel so much alone and so
lonesome: the women could uot smother
him entirely; that he and the boy would
soon conspire and confederate for mutual
comfort and protection.-
Unfortunately I could not tell him the
sex of the child, but 1 promised, without
disclosing the fact that I had met him,
to get the baby's gender, and let him
know. When 1 took leave he said that
he understood that .he had been charged
with theft of bonds and money. . --You

is in Mr. Lockhart's safe in his store

have omitted to mention this to her." .
1 wrote to Miss Timberlake when 1 re
turned home, and the baby proved to be
a boy, which fact 1 communicated to
Mr. Myers at Puckaway. ' He replied,
giving me leave to write again to Aunt

When a good flow of good feeling bad
been established by the cheering wine
and byiftur pleasant conversation, I tried,
as adroitly as 1 could, to draw Mr. Myers
out. He did not seem to be suspicious,
nor at all reticent, but seemed most of
all to enjoy a friendly meetjngrfio mat
ter how-short, with' a person inearer his
own level than those with whom his life
was spent,- He told me that he had Jived
in the cabin' for two years, doing noth
ing but passing the time. ' He amused
himself, at fishing sndj hjunpni(p, reading
and sleeping. . In the summer time the
members of a shooting club came up to
Puckaway,, an he, epenj aay now and
then in their congenial society. His
long winters however, were tedious and
desolate enough, and I did not fail to ex
tort 'from him - that the l-easbri Why he
endured them was because he had be
come soared, and was disgusted with
the world' and had turned his back on it.

the conversation suddenly took this
