I
A KISS IN
THE DARK
By EVERETT P. CLARKE
When consciousness ennio to mo I
found myself In a strango room sur
rounded by a number of persons, nil of
whom wcro looking nt mo with sympa
thy on their faces. I could not re
member how I came to bo thero In
that condition or why I felt as I did.
The truth was that In crossing a street
I had been knocked down through tho
carelessness of a chauffeur and se
verely Injured. A man whom I took
to bo a doctor was patching mo up, and
as soon ns I returned to consciousness
ho ordered every one out of tho room
and, after telling mo that I had been
run over, said that I had been carried
Into a houso near the sceno of tho ac
cident and could not bo at onco re
moved. Ono of my eyes had been injured,
and a strip of linen was laid over both
of them. Then I supposo I was left to
myself for awhile, for I heard no sound
In tho room, though nt Intervals per
sons caino and went. After having
been alone, so far ns I knew, during
ono of these Intervals I heard what
sounded to mo to bo a faint rustling of
a woman's skirts. Then thero was a
vague consciousness that somo ono
was standing near mo looking at me.
Ono thing I felt suro of a warm
breath against my cheek.
Suddenly I felt n pair of lips pressed
against mine. It was only for a mo
ment, after which by the sound of
skirts I know some one was scamper
ing away. I had evidently been kissed
by a woman.
Now, I was at an ngo when a kiss
like that would naturally stir tho Im
agination. Was tho kisser young? I
Judged so by the feeling of her lips,
which wero soft and warm. I longed
to get well that I might And her out
I remained whore I was but a few
days, when I was taken to my own
home, I was not permitted to remove
my eyo covering before leaving tho
house, so I was ignorant of tho mem
bers of tho family. As soon as I was
well enough to bo out again I went to
thank them for the caro they had
taken of me. I was received by the
lady of the houso, and I asked that I
might thank every ono who was in tho
houso during my stay thero. Tho lady
told mo that tho members of her fam
ily were ono son and n little daughter
eight years old. I knew that the per
son who had kissed mo was neither of
these, for the swish of skirts I hoard
was not that of a child. I asked If
there had beeu any one besides tho
family in tho houso during my sojourn
there, to which she replied that no ono
had been staying there. Tho accident
had caused considerable excitement in
tho neighborhood, and a number of
persons had como in to make inquiries.
This was as far as I could go in my
investigation, at least at the time, and
I felt discouraged. Thero was n strong
probability of my remaining In igno
rance of what I was extremely anxious
to know. I resolved to cultivate tho
acquaintance of tho Murrays, who had
housed me, with a view to a possible
meeting with the kisser.
This I did. Tho sou, Ed Murray,
was about my age, and I took especial
pains to cultivate him. Ho was noth
ing loath, and we soon became excel
lent friends. I have often thought
that tho kisser, seeing mo going about
with him, must have quaked in her
boots. But, though I purposely talked
with Murray about my stay In his
mother's house, I gained no informa
tion as to who was thero on tho day
I was taken in. Ed had been nwny
at the time. Ilowever, I was doing
my bit of detective work very well,
and it was quite likely that by being
a good deal at the house I might run
across my quarry, and if I did I was
quite sure she would show In her fea
tures n consciousness that would be
tray her.
Time passed, and, having thus far
fnlled, I concluded to reveal my secret
to some ono of tho family and ask as
sistance. Neither Mrs. Murray nor Ed
could bo relied on to give tho girl away.
I choso Elilo Murray, tho daughter, as
one too young to hnvo many scruples
about giving tho lady away.
"I do believe it was, Kit Travers,"
she said. "She's just tile kind of girl
to do a thing like that."
"Who Is Kit Travers? Was she hero
on the day I was brought here?"
"I don't know about her being hero,
but she might have been. At that time
she used to como hero quite often."
"At that time? Doesn't she come
hero qulto often now?"
"Sho hasn't been In the houso in a
long while."
I felt quite sure I was on tho right
track. I based my conclusion on the
fact of Miss Travers having formerly
been often at tho Murrays' and having
suddenly dropped off after I boenmo
.intimate with them. I induced Elilo
to send for Miss Travers on some pre
text and telephone mo on her arrival.
One day I received tho message and
hurried to tho Murrays'. I had my
own pretext for coming prepared, but
did not need to uso it I suddenly en
tered n room where Efllo was talking
with a very pretty girl. Tho moment
tho pretty girl saw mo sho blushed
beautifully, and I felt that I had land
ed tho girl who had kissed me.
I often tell my wife that It was her
appreciation of mo thnt brought about
my appreciation of her and, conse
quently, our marriage. If she, moved
by a sudden Impulse, hadn't kissed mo
in tho dark
I get no further, warned by n rising

Haha, an
Indian Maiden
By F. A. MITCHEL
nukn was tho naino given by white
Bottlers of Kentucky to nn Indian girl
who lived more than a hundred years
ago because her real namo was to
them difficult to pronounce. It was
something meaning laughing girl, tho
latter part of It being "haha." This
appellation was given her on account
of her musical laugh not that sho
laughed a great deal, for tho Indians,
loth men and women, aro a stolid race,
nnd a smile is seldom seen on tho fnco
of any of them. Ilaha laughed, only
when especially moved by somo liappy
condition, nnd then thero was some
thing catching in her laughter. Even
tho chief of tho trlbo was known to
chuckle on hearing It
Ono day tho trlbo to which D-aha
belonged pitched its tepees In ihc
neighborhood of n family of white set
tlersi named MacDermott, who wcro
of Scotch-Irish extraction, ns most of
tho early emigrants to that region
wen;, a hardy race, especially fitted to
endure tho hardships of a pioneer life.
A son, Donald, was n fine, handsome
fellow twenty years of ago and as
much admired by tho Indians as by
ills fellow whites.
One spring morning Donald, who
was fond of wandering, struck n
stream on the other side of which was
a bluff extending perpendicularly from
tho edge of tho water from which it
was reflected. Tho bank on which ho
stood was a wooded plain, where grew
the wild rye, pen vino and other herb
age, interspersed with vnrlous flowers.
The birds were singing, tho air was
fragrant indeed, naturo was that
morning In its virgin condition, undo-
spolled by man.
Suddenly" there rang out a peal of
melody, a laugh. It had scarcely died
away before Its echo camo back from
tho cliff opposite. A mocking bird on
tho branch of a tree over Donald's
head heard It and was mightily aston
ished. Indeed, he looked indignant
that any creature should dare to make
more beautiful sounds than he. Ills
throat swelled, nnd out camo a very
good Imitation of what ho had hoard
and, like Its predecessor, camo back In
reduced volume from tho cliff.
At that moment tho Indian girl,
Ilaha, came pushing aside tho under
brush, nnd Dounld saw her stop, part
ing it, and look straight at him. Sho
was evidently pleased with the stal
wart white man, and ho was delighted
with tho attractive plcturo before him.
Now, Donald knew nothing of her
language, and she know but little of
his. Do contrived by words and signs
to ask her why sho was so happy, and
sho pointed to the cliff reflected in tho
water, tho wild flowers peeping
through tho long grass, tho grapes, per
simmons, blackberries, cherries, mul
berries and nuts that were beginning
to swell on tho trees. DTo repeated
his own name several times, putting
his linger on his breast Sho under
stood nnd gave her own name, adding,
"White man, Ilaha."
Thero could be no better placo than
among this profusion of nature's boun
ties and beauties for tho birth of love.
Tho white and tho dusky mingled as
day and night meet in tho gloaming.
Thereafter their meetings wero fre
quent and always at tho same place.
Now and again through sheer happi
ness Ilaha's laughter would ring out to
tho envy of somo mocking bird, which
would try to Imitate It. As the season
advanced the lovers had no need to
bring a luncheon with them, for It was
nt hand in the ripening fruits of tho
earth.
Ilaha had many suitors among the
young warriors of her tribe, but from
tho moniejit sho met Donald McDer
mott she wouk listen to nono of them.
This, as well as her frequent absences,
attracted the attention of her people,
and they wero at n loss to dlvlno tho
cause. When the hunting season camo
tho lovers were in danger, for tho In
dians spread themselves in every di
rection to hunt tho deer, bear and wild
turkey with which the country abound
ed. Aware that If they wero caught
together by Halm's people one or both
would suffer, they changed their tryst
Ing place to a point under the bank of
tho Ohio vlvor, near which they lived.
Between the bank and tho stream were
shallow lagoons frequented by flocks
of birds of all sizes, from tho snipe to
tho sandhill crane.
But It was now autumn, tho season
when the wild geese visited tho ln
goons, nnd tho Indinns camo there to
procure them for food. Ono day an
Indian crouched upon tho bnnk abovo
where tho lovers were together, watch
ing for n shot at the goeso. IIo heard
Ilaha's laugh. Crawling forward to a
point where ho could seo tho white
man and the Indian girl, he raised his
rifle, fired, and Ilaha's laugh was turn
ed Into n shriek. Donald fell dead.
That was tho last of Ilaha's laugh
ter. Sho lived but n few months after
her lover's death, ending her life by
jumping from tho cliff near which they
had so often met. Thero wns a belief
nmong tho trlbo that occasionally her
"haha" was heard as an echo from tho
cliff. At nny rate, tho spot was treat
ed with great reverence by them and
was a favorite trysting placo for lov
ers. Tho legend was handed down
through tho Indlaus, and their belief
is now turned to a matter of tnero in
terest nmong their whlto successors.
Maidens nro accustomed to laugh be
fore tho cliff to hear tbo echo. It may
j,0 that what the red men heard was
Blmllor laughter from their own girls.

Push, but No Pull.
Sir Oliver Lodgo claims that thero Is
no such thing ns pull applied to bodies
that is, that nn engine, for Instance,
novcr pulls n train, but really pushes
it A llttlo excursion into what ho
means will readily convlnco Uio skep
tlcal that ho is right Tako this exam
plo: Tho coupling of tho cuglno ex
tends behind that of tho car following
nnd does actually shovo it forward.
Tho reason it comes forward is bo
eauso its pnrts do not separate thnt
is, It has cohesion.
But tho actual forco administered is
thnt of n push nnd not a pull. Tako a
ropo pulling n safe up to n window.
It is wrapped under tho safe, nnd that
is tho part thnt is exerting tho forco
nnd urging tho snfo upwnrd, tho other
parts of tho ropo simply sticking to
gether. When wo pull our coats off'
wo really push them off, for tho forco
Is exerted behind tho object In tho di
rection of motion, nnd, ns every ono
knows, that is called a push.
So if wo really deslro to speak in
chnstcly scientific terms wo should say
push our coats off, push our lints off,
push a safo up through a window.

Brido's First Mistake.
An amusing incident recently took
placo in a hotel at a popular seaside re
sort. At ono of tho tables In tho writ
ing room snt tho young nnd charming
Mrs. Nowlywed busily engaged on n
letter. Suddenly sho stopped, laid
down her pen nnd gazed out of tho
window; then sho stared nt tho celling,
evidently deep in thought. Finally sho
made u number of Jottings ou tho blot
ter bcsldo her, cxnmlned them careful
ly and at length resumed her letter.
A baso and uncalled for curiosity
prompted tho correspondent to take his
seat nt that tablo not long afterward
On tho blotter, each word followed by
a formidable question mark, was tho
mysterious inscription: "Ilappyiies?
Happiness? Ilappyncss?" And, nlas,
Mrs. N. lind made tho first mistake In
her married life. Tho first two words
had a determined lino drawn through
them. Glasgow News.
