L. Here ward in New Bohemian Monthly. A MAN FROM OHIO. Mr. Longley's mistake, the mistake Of his life,-grew out of his first mistake, which was in ever coming to California. He was agent for the PacifieRiteamship company prior to his occupying a simi lar position in a great lakes company. He had never seen the ocean until he came to Monterey. But he didn’t think much of it—not after the lakes. Of the people he thought even less. He used to go over to the telegraph office where Carpenter was, and there, on a pile of blue butter boxes, air his mind pretty freely concerning “these infernal greasers.’’ Longley wasn’t a bad fellow back in Ohio, bat out here he could not or would not shake into place. He was going back, when he had a stipulated sum saved, to marry the prettiest girl in Ohio. Meantime he chafed and fretted at his chain. One of the first things he did had gained him the ill will of all the loung ers in the crooked little street. Benito, 4 years old, came running to him. Ev ery one adored Bonito, for the Spanish, are baby lovers aud not in the least ashamed to show it—Benito, with lovely crimson cheeks and great, velvety black eyes. Dirty? Oh, so dirty, but also so charming. Just as he reached the hom bre grande, lie tumbled flat, and the “great man” calmly put out his foot and lifted Benito out of the way on the toe of his boot. They all saw that— Manuel, Francisco, tho Moreno boys, Jose Erron, all—for they wero sitting in front of Charley 'Rodrigues's saloon, keeping a wary eye out for possible whales in the bay. Bonito ran howling to them, and the wound his vanity had received was healed with candy and soft words. But it would have been well for Mr. Longley if that had never happened. The Spanish mamma is an excellent matchmaker, and very seldom has any old maids on her hands. Sha takes ad vantage of that contrary little twist in a man’s nature which makes'him want what is just out of liisreaeh. So Ysabel, or Carmelita, or Dolores, as the case may be, is sedulously guarded by the mother, who makes certain thut her daughter is never alone with any young man a moment Mr. Longley said often he did not care,a pin fox their customs. He was from Ohio and brought his own code of ethics and etiq.netto, which these greasers were obliged to trim to—not he to fit to theirs. No, sir I So, in line with these sentiments, he told Carpenter one day that he was going to take Julia Es- tudille to the Thanksgiving ball. “Have you asked her mother?” in quired the cautious Carpenter. “I don’t intend to, ” replied Mr. Long ley. “I haven’t asked the girl yet, but she’ll jump at the chance to go with a white man. Say, she isn’t a bad looking girl for a g----- . ’’ “Look outl” interrupted Carpenter, "you uro a little too handy with that epithet. And you intend taking tho girl alone?” “Alone!” said Longley firmly. “No old duenna tags mo around. ” “You’ll get yourself in trouble sure,” Carpenter warned. “If you’re not sand | bagged at tho baile or assassinated be fore the baile—mark my words—they’ll rope you into marrying the girl. ” Mr. Longley slapped himself on his chest aiid gave his friond to understand that he had not journeyed all the way from Ohio to have his life cut off in its flower and prime by the hand of ay as sassin, nor did he leave the prettiest girl in “the states” to come out here to marry one of these “Spanish beauties” and for the rest of a fevered existence strive to keep enough frijoles und tortil las in the larder to feed her and her 4,000 relatives. “Don’t you worry over Longley. He can take care of himself, ” was his parting adjuration. • ••••• Lured by tho sound of viol, flute and bassoon, or, to bo exact, accordion, two guitars and a fiddle, Carpenter stole away from the office to peep in at the Thanksgiving ball. The long hall was brilliant with keroseue lamps and gay with palms and flowers. Longley was there with his Julia. A quadrille had just ended, and the men were rushing about for new partners. When not dancing, the girls all sat at one end of the room, looking demure and pretty in their white frocks, w-ith roses in their black hraids. Facing iheni on ««long bench sat the duennas gossiping and smoking, but each keeping an un wearied eye upon her particular charge. Longley caught sight of Carpenter •nd came hurrying out. “You see I brought her, ” he said. "And her mother?” asked Carpenter. "Mother nothing! You want t> hear how I did it?” and Longley unfolded a tale that made Carpenter gasp. "Well, my son, if you really did this —persuaded that foolish girl to climb cut of the window and go with you un known to her mother—I don't know but what you deserve your fate. Yon know too mush over to take advice, hut I 11 give you this piece, so I won't liave you on-my canscience as not having doae •11 I could. Don't go home the tins’ way you came, and, if it wunme, I'd walk backward every step of the way.' Longley waved the advice lightly from him and hurried back to Jalia. •••••• The next time tho friends ni"t was at Longley’s wedding, four wet ks sfter the Thanksgiving ball. Longley looked weak and pale. Carpenter judged be had hardly recovered from the gsrrot-so that had laid him low as be was lionet- IIUAMO qk Ing Julia tn her window, cue of the iron bars of which Longley had managed to remove. Longley suspected JuLia’s ki JT Err°“’ Who had ,bowu “1- utrerabl. hatred for the young eastern For three weeks Longley lay in the Estudillos adobe suffering froui coo. ciwsion of the brain. Part of the time he wfc unconscious. He had strange dn am«. The bare little chamber was a prison cell, and Julia was tiZjailer. He dreamed he clamored for Kitty—Kittv lewk in Ohio—that is, he thought “Kit ty and struggled to say it, to scream ... **’kc" wosd turned to Julia lie strove, he fought, strug gling as a drowning man struggles for breath in the water, to call for Kitty. He was not Julia’s, he was Kitty’s. That kept floating back and forth in his brain like a pieoe of kelp sloshing to and fro in tho fide. When he got the kinks stTaighteued out hl his head, ho found that they had finished calling the banns for him and Julia, and that they were preparing for the wedding to take place as soon as he could stand. The thing was monstrous, without doubt, but what could be done? Carpen ter was the only one who would^even try to interfere, and he could do nothing. Jtllia elbthed herself in stupidity, and against that impenetrable armor Car penter battered in vain. The mother, of course, understood so word of English; so it was useless to appeal to her. And there they had poor, conceited, rattled Longley fast. Tho marriage could not take place in the church, as Longley was not a Cath olic. The priest did not approve and re monstrated with Senora Estndillo in re gard to fhis impious alliance with a heretic. “Valgame Diosl” she said, with a despairing shrug. “What would you? Those of the true faith will not work, and there are seven of us and nine of the family of my sister. Would you have us starve?” It is a sad thing that religion must give way to matters of expediency. The dollar dominates even in slumberous old Monterey. Carpenter, with a grim line round his mouth, wondered ss he stood watching the priest’s genuflections if Longley was reealling any of his somewhat in temperate remarks about priests and greasers. He looked white enough, as he stood limply by bridal robed Julia, to be recalling the sins and misadven tures of a bad life a century long. Longley never did get to looking “right peart”—he began work too soon. He worked early and he worked late, for were there not 19 blood relatives, and 28 collaterals, also the blood relatives of the collaterals, and all big eaters? But it is an unwritten law that yeu are not expected to clothe the collaterals or their relatives. A dozen or so would comedown from Tassajara, another dozen from Tres Pinos, and there "visit” three or four weeks at Longley’s in the most perfect amity. Being bnt human, Longley would occasionally raise Cain and the roof, but as most of his swarthy rela tives were surprisingly destitute of a knowledge of English his revolts were ineffectual. They had parties.every Sunday night, and to the strains of ini accordion and three or four guitars they would fairly dance the lint out of the floor and walls. In the old unfettered days that which had met with Longley’s most unquali fied scorn were these very Sunday night dances.—Edith Wagner in Argonaut. Electric Fencing. Lover« of fencing will be interested in an invention which has jnst been tried in London, and which is said to do away altogether with the difficulty constantly experienced by ail umpire in judging hits between two equally matched competitors. This end, it is de clared, has teen achieved by covering the front of each jacket with fine copper or brass wire gauze, and connecting this with the adversary’s foil and an electric bell (of the burglar alarm pattern) and battery iu the same circuit. It follows that when a hit is.made the circuit is closed, and the bell rings and continue» to ring until stopped by the person in charge. A special arrangement in each foil handle provides that only a direct point produces a ring. Two entirely electrically distinct circuits are used, each including a bell, foil und jacket; flicks or blows or grazes produce no re sult. The bells being at different tone«, and, moreover, placed on opposite side« of the room, there is no difficulty in de ciding who has scored a hit, or, in cases of almost simultaneous hits, who deliv ered the point first. By a simple ar rangement the wires passing from the batteries to the combatants’ ool.ars arc kept well out of the way, however sud den may be their movements of advance or retreat In the London trial -«x se lected amatenrs competed for a foils, and five bouts were fought, lhe experiments were completely ««ccessful.
