Big Stationery- tOrlglnal. Joel Throggs was n driver on tlio towpatH. Joel wns reaching an age whoro ho wished for a home, llo ad mitted to hlmHclf that ho couldn't bare n ' homo without a woman, and ho novor Htoppcd long enough to do any courting. Ho wns always moving on the towpnth, and how can a man mako love who Is continually walking behind n home or n mulo pulling a canalboat? On tho rou to was a Uttlo unoccupied bouso across the road from tho tow path that Joel would bare coveted If ho had hnd a wlfo to put In it One day when ho paused ho saw snioko curling from tho chlmnoy and n woman nt n window. After passing and re passing on sovcrnl trips ho mado up bis mind from observation that the woman llvod alone. Hero wnfl an opportunity, tbo first bo had ever had. He resolved to tnko ndvnntngo of It. Before starting on one of bin trips ho prepared a small board, on which ho wroto In chalk: dero Mfiddnm. I would be hapy to mak yuro nriualnlonco. I am driven a mulo on tho towpath. JOEL TllUOaafl. On reaching tho houso In (jucstlon ho threw the board into tho yard without stopping his mulo. This wob Mr. TbroggR' first lovo lotter. It was not very neat Indeed, it was some what bulky hut they say "Lovo laughs at locksmiths." Why shouldn't tho Ut tlo god smllo benignly on a board billet doux? When Joel passed tbo bouso on his return trip, on tho end of a chicken coop had boon chalked: I shud bo pleoxcd to make yourn. MAHULDT WIDOWS. So far so good. Jool bad not pre pared stationery, wooden or otherwise, for n reply, so It wns not till bo came along on his next trip that ho respond ed. Then ho ran across the road be . tween tho towpath and tho canal and set tho top of an old table on the gnto, on .which bo bad written: I wud csteam mlsglf onortd of you wud tnk n rldo will; mo on my nox trip. Tho mulo has a easy gate. Bring a plllcr to not on. But tho courso of truo lovo can't be expected nlwnys to run smooth. Whon Jool passed again tho and of the chick en coop glared with big chalk letters: Can't. Out to work all day. Jool was despondent Not only was ho tied to thd towpath, but bis love also was at work. lie thought the matter over as ho jogged along, now nnd then gently laying bis whiplash on tho back of his mulo, nud when be reached tho terminus prepared another letter, n longer one so long that bo needed tnoro room to write it Ho se lected tho door of tbo canalboat cabin, which ho took off Its binges, lay on tbo deck nud wrote as follows: doro Mnhuldy, I saved GCO dollar. I in lookln fur a homo wore two harts kin boot together. Sposen I Jlno with you fin wo work, your yard fur garden truck fur tho tnnrltut. Prlsos Is hi In ,town. Stay hum nox tlmo I pai, weniday. 1U rldo you n raw miles, an wa can tawk It ovor, llo pay you tho days wages. On passing tho houso tbo next tlmo Jool curried this bulky letter to tho promises and set It up against the feuco. "Whon Jool passed tbo following "Wednesday afternoon Mabuldy was waiting for him with a pillow "to sot on." ttxeopt for the lack of Bovcral front teeth nnd one eyo gono she wasn't bad looklug. Joel was much ploaacd. Ho helped her up on tho luulo'u back nud walked along bcsldo her, Sho told him that she was a wid ow with no Incumbrances. Suo bad been permitted to live In tho house lout free. It had no especial value, nnd tbo laud wasn't worth $0O an acre.

As his passion grow he Would need inoro space. Tho only larger statlonory bo could think of was nu old tout he possessed. Ho migut rip out a side, wrto his mcs Bitgo on It nnd sot It up on poles when bo passed. If bo needed n still larger npneo, ho might two tho whole of one Flilu of tho canalboat Mrs, Wiggins thought tbo matter over nnd found that her modosty would .not ndmlt of such open lovemaking. Hho said tho neighbors might got on to It Joel didn't enro for tho neigh bors, but objected to tho trouble of getting up such big messages. lie 'wild mournfully thnt "If thoy kep n-growln' he'd hev to use tho malusnll of a GCO ton schooner before they were married." This settled tho matter. Mrs. Wig gins, who bad nlready rlddon three miles, got down from tho mule. It was agreed between thorn thnt Joel should resign nt the end of tbo month from bis position of mulo drlvor and as- BUino tho position of husband. But In tho Interval Mnhuldy was to stay at homo. In ordqr that they might con verso when ho passed he was to buy n megnphono for himself and one for her. Thoy wero to commenco the dla loguo when ho wns half a mllo away nnd keep It up till they wero half a tnllo npnrt Having arranged all this, Joel handed her $1 in lieu .of tho day's wngos nnd klssod her, and she set off back to her home.

Parson Wllllnms, fooling sorry (or Deacon Flint's widowhood, suggested that ho take a girl from tin orphan asylum to keep houso nnd for com pany. Tho deacon stnrtcd for tho city next morning nnd returned In the craning with tho orphan. Her name wns Ruth. Tho deacon liked her nt first glance, nnd bo kept liking her hotter all day. Before going to bed that night sho wns shown over tbo bouso nnd through tho pantry nnd told what to got for breakfast and nt what hour to hnvo it ready, and tho dencon's heart swelled up as sho called to him: "Good night, my own denr old papa. Your llttlo daughter Is awfully glnd sho has como to live with you." Breakfast was to bo rendy ut 0. Tho deacon overslept, nnd It was 7 beforo ho got out of bed and went downstairs. Thcro was no ouo nbout. Ho knocked nt tho daughter's door, but got no answer. Ho went outside to look for her, nnd, finding nothing, ho returned nnd opened tho door of her room. Sho wns still asleep, but when ho called to her she woko up and de manded to know wbnt was wanted. "You should hnvo had breakfast nil rendy nn hour ago." "Not on your life!" sho exclaimed. 'When yon get it ready come -and call mo." "But but what do you menu?" de manded tho astonished mnn. "You sklddoo nnd don't hsk questions. Say, pop, you might as well under stand right now that I'm a lady and must bo treated ns such. After tills I shall take my breakfast In bed." Tho deacon got breakfast, nnd Miss Ruth enmo down. Sho found fault with everything nnd whon reproved gavo him such back talk that be reached over nnd boxed her ears. Tho next mluuto everything on the tnblo sho could reach was (lying nt his head. After being hit by three plates, tho cruet, tho coffeepot and tho sugnr bowl bo flew the coop and mndo his wny to tho parson's houso. "Ah," snld tho good man. "I wns wondering If you enmo homo"lnnt night and brought tho orphnn with you." "I dldl" exclaimed tho deacon with n great deal of energy. "And-nnd"- "And you como ovor nnd boo her. Sho was as humble as n kitten last night, but this morning sho seems to be n limb of Satan." When tho houso wns reached the adopted orphan was found In tho yard throwing pieces of tho broken crock ery nt the hens, nnd sho had already lamed an old roostor nnd knocked a speckled hen gaily west. "Morning, parson," sho called out. "I suppose pop's been telling what a bad kid I am? If he wasn't n dub he'd hnvo stayed and fought It out with mo." "My dear child, I nm sorry to benr such reports of you," solemnly replied tho parson. "You scorned to mo tho other day to bo ouch nn Innocent, hum ble young girl that" "That was in tho gamo, parson. 1 was after u papn and n home. Oh, I can bo nn nngel whon I wnnt to. Seo mo knock thnt black hon'n head off." Tho parson and the deacon walked aside to consult, nnd tho latter asked In anxious tones: "Woll, what shall 1 do nbout It?" "Sit down with her nud talk of heaven nud angels nud nppeal to her bettor nature. 1 think you will have her crying In five minutes, It seems thnt in some wny I must hnvo got a wroug Impression of tho child." Tho good mnn returned homo, nnd tho deacon sat down to try mornl mm Blou. Tho vlllngo grnvoynrd wns In sight, nnd ho looked ovr at the stones and nsked the girl If sho knew whoro good folks went to when they died. "Ob, como offl" sho answered. "Can't we go to u circus or something today? I know you wns an old poko. but I've como to stir you up. Como In nnd shave. I don't llko your whiskers." Tho deacon roso up nnd took her by tho ear nud led her into tho houso nud locked her up In n closet and snld somothlug nbout bread nnd water until she could behnvo herself. Ho then wont to the field to put In a short fore noon. At 12 o'clock, whon ho enmo back, the closot door lay on the floor. the tnblo nnd chairs wero on tholr backs, nnd tho girl wns getting rend; to smnsh windows. Tho deacon wont out nnd cut nnd trimmed n peach tree limb and wore It out around hor shoul ders nud locked her up In another closot. At 3 o'clock in tho afternoon bis bnm wns found to bo on tiro nnd couldn't be snved, Ho went to tho houso to find tho prisoner gono. ovcrv thing, n wreck nnd the following note pinned to n door: Denr Pnnn You aro no crnticmnn. nmi t don't lllco your stylo.

Tho parson hnd n spltiBter sister for ty-two years old, nud public gossip hnd said thnt she would mnrry the dencon If nsked. Tho brother bad heard noth ing of this, nnd tho sister was not In his mind In tho least when ho put tho question, but tho dwicon turned from surveying tho wreck nnd nnswered: "Not by n tturned sight, nnd you got right out of hero or I'll throw you over tho fencol" And thnt was ten years ngo, nnd they hnvo not spoken to each other slnco. " . M. QUAD. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OP A MANUSCRIPT. (OrlBlfial.l I was born when my mother was nineteen years old. Her undo, u mid dle nged man. had done nomothln . In a lltornry way, and I wns turned ovcrjl to him by my motuers moiticr to uo looked over. Ho took mo to his study nnd sat down with mo, first sharpen ing his pencil with which to cut me In pieces, for I henrd him say that my mother knew nothing nbout writing nnd ho supposed "tho thing wan full of rhetorical blunders." When he be gan to rend mo ho woro n bored look, but ho hud rend but ono paragraph before bis expression changed. As ho rend on be forgot who had written mo, and when ho had finished ho ex claimed: "By thunder!" Then bo called my mother and her mother Into his study nnd asked my mother: Whero did you learn to wrlto Eng lish correctly?" "At school." "School bo bnngddl Thcro's some thing elso hero that you didn't learn at all. It was born In you. Send your story out Just ns it is. If It is appre ciated It will bo accepted, but I don't bcllovo it will bo. It will como back to you and keep coming bnck." Thoy took me away, and tho mother snld to tho daughter: "Your uncle Is soro becauso all bis own manuscripts como bnck to him. Don't you believe him, my denr. Your story will bo nc ceptod, and you will got n good price for It" Tho next dny 1 was sent to tho Olobo Publishing company. I 'was turned over to n young follow they cnllcd n weeder. Ho looked over the manu scripts which came In tho morning's mall and out of tho lot picked one. I heard him mention tho nuthor's naino. I hnd heard It often before. The' rest of us wero put In envelopes with printed slips with tho editor's name to thorn, saying n fow very nice things nud thanking our pnrcnts for sending us m. Tiion wo wero put nwny Tor awhile nnd when it wns convenient wero sent bnck to whoro wo came from. When my poor llttlo mother saw by tho bulk of tho package that 1 . had been returned to her tho tenrs stnrtcd In hor oyes. Hor undo snld: "I told you so. I don't bellovo thoy read n Uno of It However, I know Simpson & Co. Thoy'vo turned down n lot of my work, but perhaps they'll rend this If I mako a pcrsonnl request. Lot mo have It tomorrow." Tho next dny ho took mo to Simpson & Co. nnd had n long tall: nbout me with tho editor, who wns very polite nnd promised to glvo mo his cspcclnl nttcntlon. After my mother's uncle hnd gono nwny tho editor tossed me to n wenry looking man sitting nt n desk covered with mnnuscrlpts nnd snld: "Read that" It wns two weeks beforo the tired looking man took me up In my turn, then rnn ovor twenty pages of mo In as many seconds nnd wroto ou my wrapper "Declined.' And so 1 wns sent bnck ngnln to my mother, who had hoped that her unclo's Vorsonal ef fort would Insure success. She wns nearly nH much dlsnnpotntcd us ut first. And so I continued to go from ono publishing bouso to another without acceptance. Flnnlly I nttrncted tho nt tcntlon of nn Intellectual looking edi tor, who wroto this criticism: If wo woro looking for literature I would rocommond tho publication of this book. But as wo are looking for "host sellers" X would decline It. Howovor, my mother got nothing but tho printed slip when I wns re turned, though It wns couched In Just ns pollto terms as tho first. Moanwhllo a publisher told my moth er that sho would hotter wrlto some thing "stnrtllng" n trlflo erotic, he snld. So Innocent was sho that she thought ho said erratic. Sho went to work nnd turned" out my brother. Poor boy I lie wns deformed In frnmo nnd Intellect from birth. Mother wns very much ashamed of him nnd wouldn't acknowledge him by publish ing htm under hor own nnmo. But be wns published under a nom do plume nnd proved n second best seller. My mother continued to glvo mo nil hor Affection notwithstanding tho fact that my brother mudo so much money for her. She was now deluged with requests for something from hor "gift ed pen." Sho sent mo out onco more, nnd I was accepted at ouco, but sho refused to permit my publlcntlou tin dor tho nnmo which hud been uppond cd to my crazy brother. Tho publish ers would not Issuo mo unless she con sented to this. They offered her n largo sum with thnt namu to mo, but sho wns obdurate, nnd so I was obliged to rcmnlii In obscurity. Mother would wrlto nothing more, nnd nt last, not making nuy monoy, which sho needed, sho wroto tbo pub Usher who hnd wnnted mo thnt he could havo mo to publish under her fictitious name. He wroto her In reply that tho public bad forgotten her for mor book, that tho character of all fiction had changed nnd that If bo Wero to publish mo under any nnmo whatever ho couldu't soil n thousand coph llo ndded, "Your first effort could only hnvo been Bold ns by tho author of a 'second best seller.' ,k And so my only opportunity pnssed without my getting out Into tho world. My uncle, who la now old nnd phllo sophle, Bayn that these "best sellers" nro n dovclopmont llko "stars" ou the stage. Other books, like other nctors. must remain In obscurity, for the pub lic can only be nttrncted by that which is most prominent I wonder If nny of them know, CON8TANCH WILD.
