    he Kiss That
Went Astray
By JOHN TURNLEE
Tho funniest case of saying goodby
between a pair of lovers parting for
good because they couldn't marry hap
pened to n friend of mine, Wlllnrd Sey
mour. Wlllnrd met Nancy Hargrove
in the sweet summer time In the coun
try when neither had anything to do
but talk about love, think about love,
dream about love, and when any two
j;oung persons of opposite sex are In
that situation there is bound to be a
love affair between them.
Wlllnrd and Nancy spent two weeks
together and would have made n match
If It had not been that neither had the
wherewithal to make a nest, and both
realized that such was necessary. The
time was long enough to cause them
ft rfian to marrv. nut not innt mimicii
to cause them to do what they consid
ered n foolish thing. Wlllnrd might
have been willing to take the risk, but
Najlcy, who was a sensible, farseelng
gil, would not henr of It.
Wlllnrd said when the parting time
came that Nuncy might give him just
one kiss. She said she would see about
It Wlllnrd had often as a child heard
his mother say when he wanted some
thing that she would see about It, and
be always got It. So when Nancy said
It he felt sure that the kiss would
be his.
Funny, Isn't it. that fate should have
produced a lot of trouble and Anally
forced these two to marry on account
Of a kiss that was not even definitely
promised?
When the lovers left the summer re
sort, where they had passed two deli
cious weeks, they went from the same
railway station at 10 o'clock at ni;:!it.
Wlllnrd was to go on one train. Nancy
on another. When Wlllnrd went to
the station he had not received his
kiss. He arrived on a dark side of Un
building iiikI saw a woman walking
back and forth whom he mistook for
Nancy. It occurred to him that she
was waiting there In the dark to give
Im the farewell kiss, Going up to
er, he put his arms around her.
e woman pushed him away, but
Wiy coy damsel would do that, and
,'lllard persisted. The woman cried
loudly for help. Tho agent came uround.
She accused Wlllard of insulting her.
and there was a scene. She was very
angry and insisted on the agent's tele
phoning for the police. He did so. They
came, and on the woman's promising
to appear against the prisoner lie was
taken to jail.
Nancy came up just in time to see
her lover marched off. He was per
mitted to explain the matter to her. and
she believed his story. She concluded
to remain over and await the trial.
The next morning Wlllnrd was
brought up before a judge who had
acquired the name of the little red god
of war from the fact that his bristling
hair and whiskers were of a fiery red
hue and his disposition was as fiery
ns his hair. It was seldom that a case
of any importance came before him.
and here was one of a gentleman In
nppenrance at least who was accused
of n heinous crime. Besides, the pris
oner was a summer citv man. no nnir-
to n clan that looked down on the
enizens of the town.
he woman gave her testimony, and
Wlllard admitted the fact, but denied
criminality, declaring that he had mis
taken the woman for another. When
he was asked what other he declined
to answer on the ground that he was
not required to give the other person
away. Nancy was in court in a back
seat. She longed to save her lover by
testifying that she was the person the
prisoner had intended to kiss. Hut
to do that she must acknowledge their
engngemeut to the world.
The trial was brief, and tho prison
er wns found guilty under Instructions
from the little red god of war that did
not admit of an acquittal. Then t lie
Judge gave 1dm a long discourse on
thoo excrescences of society whose
wealth led them to believe they could
commit any crime with impunity. The
prisoner was given to understand that
lie could not offend the morals of a
town that had suffered only too often
from the misdeeds of summer visitors.
Since the townspeople made their liv
ing from summer boarders, this was,
to say the least, unjust to the class re
ferred to. Finally he sentenced the
dculprit to six months in Jail.
i "Your honor." cried n feminine voice
from the rear of the room. "I desire to

thnt he would move for a new trial
thnt would cost the county consider
able money, and in View of this threat
ened expenditure Uie judge consented
to hear what Nancy had to say. She
took tho stand and told tho story as 1
have told It, or as much of It as was
necessary. Tho judge. In order to save
costs, directed tho jury to retire again
and bring in n new verdict. This they
did, and the prisoner Avns acquitted.
A number of friends and acquaint
ances of both parties attended the
trial and at tho end gathered about Wll
lnrd and Nancy with congratulations
both as to Wlllard's escape from n long
imprisonment and their engagement
There was nothing for them to do but
to acknowledge tho latter, or at least
to make no denial of It, and. since they
had been thus thrown together before
the world by a kiss they had not en
Joyed, after deliberation (Including the
kiss as Intended) they concluded to
accept the decree of fate and were ac
cordlngly, after n few months' engage-
ient, married.
A Curious Illusion.
What has come to be called tho
Tlrchole" In the Ycllowstono National
park Is a large hot spring from the
bottom of which, to all nppenrancos, a
light colored llnnie Is constantly issu
ing, only to be extinguished In the wa
ter before It reaches the surface. At
times It has a distinct ruddy tinge, and
it always flickers back and forth like
tho lambent tlnme of a torch. When
seen under favorable conditions the
illusion Is perfect and the beholder Is
sure that he has at last caught a
glimpse of tho hidden fires which pro
duce tho weird phenomena of this re
gion. Hut It Is only illusion. Through
a fissure In the rock supcrhented steam
escapes and divides the water Just as
bubbles do on a small scale. Tho re
flection from the surface thus formed
accounts for the appearance, which Is
intensified by the black background
formed by the sides and bottom of
tire pool. "The Yellowstone National

How a Clodhopper
Made a
General's Reputation
By F. A. M1TCHEL
Johnny Hunker enlisted In 1S01 In
an Ohio regiment to "fight for Abra
ham Lincoln's daughter," as the phrase
had It in those days. Johnny was a
farmer's boy and didn't know any more
about war than he did about manag
ing a circus. It so happened that ho
fell under the command of a general
who had graduated In the engineer
corps at West Point, had been sent
nbroad during the Crimean wnr to
observe the strategy of Uuroiniau ar
mies nnd had written a report which
hnd cnused him six years later to be
picked out for one of the great com
manders of the war between the states,
'n short he wns nt the apex of the
pyramid of military intelligence, while
Johnny wns one of the many thou
sands who formed the bnsc.
The force that Johnny served with
formed the extremo of the right wing
of an army whoso commander was
anxious to advance, but a fort so situ
ated In a pocket In the hills that It
was difficult to take was delaying him.
for It Is a military principle thnt nn
army must not lcavu a fortification in
its rear. The scientific soldier who
commanded this wing wns approach
ing the fortification In accordance with
the principles of military engineering
In other words, by zigzag trenches.
The only objection to this plan of re
ducing the fort was that it took a lot
of time nnd delayed nn army of 70.000
men from advancing. Meanwhile the
men who composed the army were
costing the government Immense sums
of money, were dying of camp fever
and were getting generally demoral
ized. Johnny Hunker, who didn't know
enough about military matters to keep
himself In camp unless permitted to go
elsewhere, one night, feeling restless,
stole out without waking his tent
mntes, evaded the camp guard and
wandered away. He was too stupid
to avoid going in the direction of the
enemy, and while men were crouching
In tho trenches he was stumbling along
In the dark toward the fortification
they were trying to dig out Presently
lie came to a dirt wall. Lighting n
match, he saw that it was Inclined and
about ten feet high, but he thought he
could climb it and ho did. At tho top
he laid his hands on something that
felt like a log. Hy feeling along it he
found that it was a log. Vaulting over
It, he proceeded along tho top of the
dirt wall, which was some eight feet
thick, nnd came to nether log. In this
way he discovered a number of logs
side by side on top of the dirt wall.
Hearing a storm of snores below him,
he concluded that they might come
from Confederates, and concluded to
retrace his steps. Sliding down the in
cline, he wns groping his way back, as
he supposed, over the same route by
which he had come, when suddenly he
dropped Into a trench, falling on sev
eral sleeping men
Angry at being disturbed in their
slumbers, they reiorted Johnny's nj
pearance among them, stntlng that he
was likely a spy from the fort who
hnd lost his bearings and fallen into u
trap. The result was that the young
man was sent to the rear In care of an
officer, who was directed, to turn him
In as a captured spy.
In the morning Johnny's capture
was reported to the general nnd nfter
breakfast a staff officer was sent to
bring him to headquarters. When
Johnny appeared the general began to
question htm.
"Who are you?"
John Hunker of Company B, th
Ohio."
The genernl sent for the cnptnln of
Conipnny H nnd went on with his ques
tioning. Ho asked Johnny how he hap
pened to bo out among the trenches at
night, nnd Johnny told the story.
When he came to the dirt wall, as he
called It. and the logs the general
pricked up his ears. He asked Johnny
how many men he hnd heard snoring,
and Johnny replied, "A hull lot" On
being asked what ho meant by "a hull
lot" Johnny explained, "There must
'a' been four or five of 'em."
While the questioning wns going on
Johnny's cnptnln came In and Identi
fied blm as a private la his command.
Ho was very severe In his manner to
the culprit, being mortified that one of
his men should have been caught In
such n breach of discipline.
Within half an hour nfter tho inter
view between Johnny nnd his com
mander the right wing of tho army
was drawn up In line of battle and an i
order given to march upon tho fort
When the men reached It they clam
bered up the sides to tho parapet, as
Johnny had done tho night before,
without drawing a single shot They
found that what ho hnd supposed to be
a row of logs were Quaker guns that
Is, logs shaped to represent cannon. A
few lean Confederates In butternut
were seen clambering up the hillside.
They had been In charge of tho fort
I and kept the guns from falling off their
supports.
The commanding general wns In
formed that a scout had discovered
that the fort was practically deserted.
The commander of the right wing wns
promoted, nnd the nrmy advanced.
As for Johnny, ho was killed during
tho campaign that followed and never
knew thnt he had informed one of the
most scientific strategists In tho nrmy
that he was besieging a deserted fort.
Perhaps It was ns well, since the gen
ernl emerged from tho wnr with great
honors, and It would bo a pity If It hud
' boon known that a stupid clodhopper
I had been nt the bottom of his rise.
