THE POT OP GOLD.
Elder Boyd, though a very good man
in the main, and looked up to with re
speot by all the inhabitants of the vil
laze of Oldville, was rumored to have,
in Yankee parliance, a pretty sharp look
out for the main chance, a peculiarity
from which elders are not always ex
empt.
In worldly matters he was decidedly
well-to-do, having inherited a fine farm
from his father, whioh was growing
yearly more and more valuable. It
might be supposed that- under these
circumstances the elder, who was fully
able to do so, would have found a help
mate to share his house and name
But the elder was wary. Matrimony
was to him, in some measure, a matter
of money, and it was his firm resolve
not to marry unless he could thereby
enhance his worldly prosperity. TJn-
happily,the little village of Oldville and
the towns in the immediate vicinity con
tained few who wer9 qualified in the im
portant particular, and of those there
were none probably with whom the el
der's suit would have prospered. So it
happened that year after year passed
away, until Elder Boyd was in the
prime of life forty five, or thereabouts
and still unmarried, and likely to re
main so. But in all human calculations
of this kind, they reckon ill who leave
widows out.
Elder Boyd's nearest neighbor was a
widow.
The Widow Hayes, who had passed
through matrimonial experience, was
some four years younger than Elder
Boyd. She was still a buxom, comely
woman, as widows are apt to be.
Unfortunately the late Mr. Hayes had
not been able to leave her sumcient to
make her independent of the world. All
that she possessed was the small, old
fashioned house in which she lived, and
a small amount of money, which was in
sufficient to support her and a little son
of six, to be enumerated in the schedule
of her property, though hardly to be
classed as "productive" of anything but
mischief.
The widow was therefore obliged to
take care of three boarders to eke out
her scanty income, which, of course, im
posed upon her considerable labor and
anxiety.
Is it surprising that under these cir
cumstances she should now and then
have bethought herself of a second mar
riage as a method of bettering her condi
tion? Or again, need wa esteem it a
special wonder if, in her reflections
upon this poiut.she should have cast her
' eyes upon her next neighbor. Elder
Boyd? The elder, as we have already
said, was in flourishing circumstances.
He would be able to maintain a wife in
great comfort, and being one of the
chief personages in the village, could
accord her a prominent social posi
tion. He was not especially handsome,
or oaloulated to make a profound im
pression upon the female heart; this was
true, but he was of a good disposition,
kind-hearted, and no doubt would make
a very good sort of a husband. Widows
are, I take it (if any shall do me the
honor to read this story, I trust they
will forgive the remark) .less disposed to
weigh sentiment in a seoond alliance
than a first, and so, in the widow's point
ol view, Elder Boyd was a very desirable
matoh.
Some sagaoious person, however, has
observed that it takes two to make a
match, a fact to be seriously consid
. red; for in the present case it was ex
ceedingly doubtful whether the worthy
elder, even if he had known the favora
ble opinion of his next neighbor, would
have been inclined to propose changing
her name to Boyd, unless, indeed, a
suitable motive was brought to bear
upon him. Here was a chance for a lit
tle managing, wherein widows are said,
as a general thing, to be expert.
One evening, after a day of fatiguing
labor, Widow Hayes sat at the fire in the
sitting-room, with her feet resting on the
fender.
"If ever I am situated so as not to
have to work so hard," she murmured,
"I shall be happy. It's a hard life.keep-
mg boarders. If I was only as well off
as Elder Boyd."
Still the widow kept up her thinking,
and by and by her face brightened. She
had an idea which she resolved to put
into execution at tbe earliest possible
moment. What it was the reader will
discover in the sequel.
"Freddie." said she to her son the
next morning, "I want you to stop at
Elder. Boyd's when you go to school and
ask him if he will call on me in the
course of the morning or afternoon, just
as be finds it most convenient."
Elder Boyd was a little surprised at
this summons. However, about eleven
o'clock he called in. The widow had
got on tbe dinner, and had leisure to sit
down. She appeared a little embar
rassed. "
'Freddie told me you would lika to sea
me," he commenced.
"Yes, elder, I should. But I am very
much afraid yon will think strange at
least of what I have to say to you."
The elder promised very politely not
to be surprised, though at the same time
hia curiosity was visibly excited.
"Suppose, said the widow, casting
down her eyes "mind, I was only sup
posing 8 cse suppose a person should
find a pot of gold pieces in their cellar,
would the law have a right to touch it,
or would it belong to them?" The etfer
pricked up his ears.
"A pot of gold pieces, widow? Wny,
unquestionably, the law would have
nothing to do with it.
"And the one who formerly owned the
house couldn't come forward and claim
it, could he, elder?"
"No, madam: unquestionably not.
When the house was disposed ofr every
thing went with it, as a matter of
course."
"I am glad to hear it, elder. You
won't think strange of the question,
but it happened to occur in my mind,
and I thought I would like to have it
satisfied."
"Certainly! widow.oertainly." said the
elder, abstractedly.
"And, elder, as you re here, 1 hope
you will stop to dinner with us. It will
be ready punctually at twelve.
"Well, no," said the elder, rising,
,Tm oVlige& to ye; bat tbeyU1 bQ ex.
peotmg me at home.
At any rate, eider, said tne widow,
taking a piece of mince pie fresh from
the oven, "you won't object to taking a
piece of mince pie. Yon must know
that I rather pride myself on my mince
pies."
The warm pie sent forth such a doll
cious odor tnat tne eider was sorely
tempted, and, after saying, "Well, real
ly," with tne intention of refusing, he
finished by saying, "On the whole, I
guess I will, as it looks so me
The widow was really a good cook.and
the elder ate with much gusto the gener
ous piece which the widow cut for him,
and after a little chatting upon unimpor
tant subjects, withdrew in some menta!
perplexity.
Was it possible, thought he.the widow
could really have found a pot of gold in
her cellar? She did not say so,, to be
sure, but why should she have shown so
much anxiety to know as to the proprie
torship of the treasure thus found, if she
had not happened upon some? To be
sure, so far as his knowledge extended,
there was no one who would be likely to
lay up such an amount of gold; but the
house was 150 years old, at the very
least, and had had many occupants of
which he knew nothing. It might be,
after all. The widow's earnest desire to
have him think it was only curiosity,
likewise gave additional" probability to
the supposition. "I will wait and watch,"
thought the elder.
It so happened that Elder Boyd was
one of the directors of a savings institu
tion situated in the next town, and ac
cordingly used to ride over there once or
twice a month to attend meetings of the
board.
On the next occasion of this kind the
Widow Hayes sent over to know if he
would carry her with him, as she had a
little business to attend to there. The
request was readily accorded. Arriving
at the village, Mrs. Hayes desired to be
set down at the bank building.
"Ha, ha!" thought the elder, "that
means something."
He said nothing, however, but deter
mined to come back and find out, as he
could readily from the cashier, what bus
iness she had with the bank. The widow
tripped into the office pretending to look
very nonchalant.
"Can you give me small bills for a ten
dollar gold piece?" she asked.
With pleasure, was the reply.
"By tbe way," she said, "the bank is
in a very flourishing condition, is it
not?"
"None in the state on a better foot
ing," was the prompt response.
You receive deposits, do you not?"
"Yes, madam; we receive them every
day."
"Do you receive as high as as ten
thousand dollars?"
"No," said the cashier, with some sur-
est on so large a sum. One thousand
dollars is our limit. Did you know of
any one who
'It is of no consequence," said the
widow, hurriedly; "I only asked for cur
iosity. By the way, did you say how
much interest you allowed on such de
posits' as come within your limit?"
"Five per cent., madam."
"Thank you. I only asked for curi
osity. What a beautiful morning it is,"
and the widow tripped lightly out.
Shortly after the elder. entered.
"How's business, Mr. Cashier?" he
inquired.
"About as usual."
"Had many deposits lately?"
"None of any magnitude."
"I brought over a woman this morn
ing who seemed to have business with
you."
"The Widow Hayes?"
"Yes.
"Do you know," asked the cashier,
"whether she had any money left her
lately?"
"None that I know of," said the elder,
pricking up his ears. "Why, did she
deposit any?"
"No; but she inquired whether we re
oeived deposits as high as $10,000."
"Indeed!" ejaculated the elder. "Is
that all she came for? he inquired, a
moment afterward.
"No. she exchanged a cold piece for
bills."
"Hal" pondered the elder, reflective
lv. "Did she crire any reason for her
inquiries?"
"No, she said she only asked for curi
osity."
The elder left the bank in deep
thought. He came to tbe conclusion
that this curiosity only veiled a deeper
motive. He now no longer entertained
a doubt that the widow had found a pot
of gold in her cellar, and appearances
seemed to indicate that its probable
value was at least equal to 810,000. Tbe
gold piece whioh she had exchanged
at the bank appeared to confirm this
theory.
"I rather think," said the elder to him
self, complacently. "I can see into a
millstone about as far as most people
A statement, the literal truth of which
defy any one to question, though as to
the prime fact of people being able to
see into a millstone at all doubts have
now and then thrust themselves upon
my mind.
The next Sunday the Widow Hayes
appeared at church in a new and stylish
bonnet, which led to some such remarks
as these:
How much vanity some people have,
to be sure!"
"How a woman that has to keep board
ers for a living can afford to dash out in
sucn a bonnet is more than I can tell.
should think she was old enough to know
better." B
j bii romara: was maae uy a young
lady just six months younger than the
widow, and whose attempts to oatoh a
i
second husband had hitherto proved
utterly unavailing.
"I suppose," continued the same
young lady, "sue is trying to catch a
first husband with her finery. Before
I'd condescend to such means, I'd I'd
drown myself."
In this last amiable speech the vouncr
lady had unwittingly hit upon the true
motive. The widow was intent urxm
catching Elder Boyd, and she indulged
in a costly bonnet, not because she sup
posed the elder would be caught with
finery, but because this would strength
en in his mind the idea that she bad
stumbled upon hidden wealth. The
widow calculated shrewdly, and the dis
play had the effect she anticipated.
Monday . afternoon, the elder found an
errand that called him over to the wid
ow's. It chanced to be just about tea-
time. He was importuned to stay to tea,
and, somewhat to his own surprise, ac
tually did.
The politic widow, who knew the eld
er's weak point, brought one of her best
mince pies, a piece of which her guest
partook of with zest.
"Youll taite another piece, I know,"
said she, persuasively.
"Really, I am ashamed," said the eld
er; but he passed his plate. "Tho fact
is," he said apologetically, "your pies
are so nice I don't know when to stop."
"Do you call those nice?" said the
widow, modestly. "I call them com
mon. I can make good mince pies when
I set out to, but this time I didn't have
as good luck as usual."
"I shouldn't want any better," said
the elder, emphatically.
"Then I hope, if you like them, you
will drop in to tea of ten. We ought to
be more neighborly, Elder Boyd."
Elder Boyd assented, and he meant
what he said. The fact is, the elder be
gan to think that the widow was a very
charming woman. She was very comely
and then she was such an excellent cook
Besides, he had no doubt in his own
mind that she was worth a considerable
sum of money. What objection could
there be to her becoming Mrs. Boyd
He brought this question before her one
evening. The widow blushed, profess
ing to be. greatly surprised. In fact, she
1 . At a m a a
naa never tnougnt oj sucn a tmng in
her life; but, on the whole, she had al
ways thought highly of the elder, and,
to cut the matter short, she accepted
him. A month afterward she was in
stalled as mistress of the elder's large
house, somewhat to the surprise of the
village people, who could not oonceive
how she had brought him over. Some
weeks after the ceremony, the elder ven
tured to inquire about the pot of gold
which she had found in the cellar.
"Pot of gold!" she exclaimed, in sur
prise; "l Know of none.
. "But,' said the elder ,disooncerted,
you asked me about whether the law
oould claim it."
"Oh, Lor', elder, I onlv asked for cu
riosity.
"And was that the reason you made
inquiries at the bank?"
"Certiinly! What els could it be?"
The elder wont out to the barn and for
half an hour sat in silent meditation
At the end ol that time he ejaculated, as
a closing consideration :
"Alter an, sue mates good mince
pies.
It gives me pleasure to state that the
union between the elder and the widow
proved a very happy one, although to
tbe end of his life he could never make
up his mind about the "Pot of Gold."
' Women Who Go Armed.
"A man who is posted in this rapid age
of ours," said a prominent member of the
New York detective department the other
day, "knows that women have under
gone a radical change in their system of
life."
"What do you mean ?"
"Simply that women are more self
reliant than they were in the days of our
grandmothers. Tim woman's rights move
ment has made them so. When a woman
is insulted now, in nine cases out of ten,
she defends herself, and, if the fellow
doesn't look out he's apt to get a hole
blown through him." '
"Is it common for women to carry pis
tols?" "You may think I am exaggerating,
but there are more women who go armed
than men. Hundreds of cases come to
the notice of the police department where
women get away with roughs and chase
burglars out of their houses that the peo
ple neyer hear of. Now, when a man
hears anything in the house at night, he
throws up the window and yells for the
police, but the woman, if sheVa game
one, slips her hand under the pillow and
fetches out a 'pop.' If the intruder is
smart be makes tracks, for a woman with
a pistol is the gamest thing on earth."
"What kind of pistol do they carry?"
"All kinds; but the nickel-plated
Smith & Wesson is the most popular
among them. A woman never fires her
weapon at short range. She rushes close
to the person she wants to shoot, and
thrusts the barrel right into his clothes.
She never takes the chance of missing
her aim. In every case brought to the
notice of the department where a man
has been shot by a woman the clothing
of the victim has been burned. You'd
hardly think it, but every other woman
who walks Broadway and Fifth avenue,
even in the most fashionable thorough
fares, has a pistol concealed about her."
"Where does she carry it?"
"In the bosom of her dress invariably.
This gives her a decided advantage over
a man, for she can whip out her pistol
before he can divine her motive. A gay
old beau tried to kiss a young, sweet
faced girl at the corner of University
place and Fourteenth street. It was late
at night and the girl was retailing from
the store where she was employed as
a saleslady. He had been annoying the
girl for some time. Finding it was im
possible to resist his gross importunities
without creating a scene,, 'she said to
him, 'I will give you a kiss on one con
dition.' 'Name it,' he exclaimed raptur
ously. 'Meet me here at this hour to
morrow,' said she. Prompt to the min
ute he was at his post the following
night. The girl came a moment later,
and the old codger hastened to embrace.
She let him get his arm around her
waist, and then drawing a tiny pistol
from her bosom, she shot the venerable
lover in the hip. Being well known in
the clubs, the man refused to make
known the identity of his fair assailant,
and as he recovered, the matter was
dropped."
"Do actresses carry revolvers.
"Many of them do. Clara Morris is
proficient in the use of the pistol, and is
said to always have one within reach.
Ada Dyas is also a firs-trate shot and
even had occasion to employ her skill in
Madison Park. She had been pursued
a considerable distance by several
roughs. The hour was late and no po
liceman was in sight. Having warned
the fellows in vain to desist from their
persecutions, she drew a revolver and
sent a bullet close enough to the head
of the foremost to make his hair rise.
Tbe cowards took to their heels, and
Miss Dyas has never been troubled sinoe,
Suppose you heard of Mary Anderson's
adventure?
"No."
"The last time she was in Leaven
worth, Kan., she was pestered by the
attentions of a lot of military officers
stationed at the fort. The fellows have
been for years in the habit of visiting
the theater, going behind the scenes in
squads, and making violent overtures to
the women in the cast ot the piece, iney
lead idle lives, draw big pay from the
government, and as they spend all
their money m the city of JLeav-
enworth, thev practically run the town.
When Miss Anderson was out that way
last year, she was beseiged between the
acts. At first she treated the bold sol
diers with digniged contempt, but when
one of them ventured to pose his nose
into her dressing room, she picked up
her revolver and blazed away. Tho re
sult was the ignominons flight of the
United States army, and the peaceful
performance of tbe remainder of the
play."
The Secret of a Certain Popularity.
"Flossie and I met the lovely Mrs. Z.
the other day. We've been just dying to
know her for ages, for we dote on celeb
rities, both of us. I never know what to
say to bright people. We were both a
little stunned at first, and we waited for
her wonderful learning to pour from her
lips. But it didn't come. She just
talked along as comfortably as any one
of us girls, and when the time came to
say good-bye I could have kissed her,
only I couldn't quit dare." .
"Well, girls," papa said, "what do vou
think of her?"
"We went into perfect raptures, but
we didn't know why. She was just as sim
ple as she could be, and no one in the
world would ever have suspected that
she knew more than common mortals."
"Did she happen to mention, in the
course of conversation," asked papa,
"that you had a very nice set of teeth,
Fulana, and that the curve of Flossie's
eyebrow would justify a man in writing
a sonnet on it, or words to that effect?
"Why, yes, papa; but how did you
know it?"
"Simply, my dear, because I know
the best points in both of vou, and that
Mrs. Z. has a magical knowledge of
a
every ones small vanities. Le is a
sweet, bright woman, but it you wish to
know the entire secret of her wonderful
popularity, it i3 delicately flavored, deli
oately conveyed taffy."
