    A Young Man of
The Name of Mors
By BYLAND BELL.
Tho stagecoach drew up In front of
a tavern In New Mexico. A young
man wlUi light hnlr nnd n mild bluo
cyo alighted nnd was going Into the
Louso when n man with n red bloated
fnco covered with n otubblo beard stop
ped him nnd snld:
"You're Uio purUcst boy wo ever seen
In tlicso parts, nnd them clothes nlr
Jlst too Txmutlful for an angel. Come
In nnd have n drink."
"Thank you. I'vo novcr touched a
drop of liquor In my llfo."
"Well, It's timo you begun. Come
on."
Ho took tho young man by tho arm.
Tho youngster resisted nnd struck Uio
ruffian In tho face. Thcro was a re
port, nnd tho youngster foil.
Two weeks after that Uio man with
tho red fnco and stubblo beard was
standing on tho tavern porch when tho
dally coach drovo up at tho samo tlmo
of day thnt tho bluo eyed boy hnd ar
rived. Tho door openod, and tho samo
boy got out no was very pale, but ho
had tho samo light hnlr nnd bluo eyes
as tho other. Tho man with, tho red
benrd gavo back a step or two as
though ho had seen a ghost
"I'm looking," said tho now arrival
In n volco thlt seemed to como from
tho tomb, "for n man called Hawkins.
Can nny of you gentlemen tell mo
whero I can find him?"
Tho stranger's attention was direct
cd to tho man with tho rod beard.
"Would you Ilko to havo mo drink
with you, sir?" asked tho nowcomor.
Ilnwklns seemed tonguo tied. A
pallor stood on his usually red face,
and ho wns trembling.
"I don't feel llko n drink Jlst now,"
ho said.
"Perhaps yon would llko n game.
My name Is Mors. It's a namo taken
from n dead language. I'vo como to
this country for tho man who killed
another two weeks ago bocauso ho
wouldn't drink with him. Either Mors
or Hawkius must censo to live. Cards
nro an easier way of sottllng tho mat
ter than guns. Come; let's hnvo a
gnmo of euchre."
Taking Ilnwklns by Uio arm, lio led
him into Uio bnrroom. Ilawklns seem
ed bereft of Uio powor to resist and
neatcd himself nt tho samo tablo wlUi
tho stronger. A pnek of cards wns
produced, and Mors fixed them for
euchre, mixed them, cut them and
dealt a hand for himself and Uio mnn
before him. Ilawklns took up his
cards mechanically, but did not see
them. Ills cyo was fixed on Uio man
who had como bnck from Uio dead, ho
doubted not, to drag him down Into
tho grave.
"Tho best three in flvo wins," said
tho strnngcr.
Tho first game ho won, for Hawkins
played without giving nny nttcntlon
to the game. Tho second Ilawklns
made an attempt to pull himself to
ceUicr, but did not succeed. Tho
stranger won ngnln. In tho third gnmo
Hawkins played his cnrdB without
looking nt them. IIo lost
Mors deliberately pulled n pistol from
his pocket, keeping his cyo on tho
other, nnd ns flcllberatoly pointed it
nt Hawkins, who seemed paralyzed,
making no effort whatovor to draw his
weapon. The stranger, keeping his
eye fixed on him, jmtd:
"You'vo played n gnmo with, death
and lost My twin broUicr enmo out
to this country to locato hero, and you
killed him. I was told that thcro was
no law in this country except gun lnw.
so I camo out to gut tho mnn that
murdered my brother. I dldu't seo
any ubo in a gun fight when wo could
sotUo tho mutter by n game. Hands
up!"
Tho last two words wcro spoken nt
seeing In Hawkins' oyo n chnngo. Tho
murderer hnd been In doubt whether
ho was not talking to tho ghost of tho
man ho had killed Ull ho learned that
ho wns flesh and blood, nis oyo lu
dlcnted Uiat ho had regained somo of
his equanimity, nnd ho was about to
put up n fight Tho avenger saw it.
and his own oyo Indicated that nt tho
Hllghtcst tnoUou to draw his weapon

"Gentlemen," snld tho stranger, "I
would much prefer thnt you would re
lieve mo of u dlsagrccablo duty. I was
very 111 when tho news of my brother's
death reached mo nnd havo not yet re
covered. Don't you think thnt your
town would bo well rid of this fiend
nnd thut ns rcspcctablo citizens It la
up to you to do what Is not a lit task
for a sick mnn! Say tho word. Shall
I shoot him, or will you take him out
and swing him?"
A mnn standing behind Hawkins
who had suffered from him, but feared
him, Jerked Hawkins' gun from his
hip, then sntd to tho dozen men stand-
lug about:
"Scnts, will you lot this sick boy do
what It has long been our duty to do?
This desperado hns killed flvo men in
four mouths, and for no good reason
Como on."
Tho speaker pinioned nawklns' arras
to his side; tho others sprang forward,
and Uio murderer was hustled out, the
crowd assisting or following.
"j3Ivo mo a bracer," said tho mnn
who had called himself DoaUi, and
when liquor was sot beforo him ho
drank It off and, setting down Uio
glass, said:
"That's the first liquor that has over
passed down my throat, an& it will be
the last I needed it"
When the crowd returned they thank
ed the stranger for having accomplish'
ed what they had never dared to do
themeolvos.
Why We Have Two Eyes.
Because wo havo two eyes Uio things
wo seo seem solid and not flat, with
tho result Uint we can Judge their (lis
tanco from us with fnlr correctness.
Look through n window nt n house
across the street with ono cyo closed
nnd then with the other cyo closed.
Tho bars of tho window frntno will
cut across Uio opposlto house in differ
ent plnces. Tho two fields seen with
tho eyes separately, although In the
main alike, differ. When you look nt
tho Iiouso with both eyes open the two
fields seen by tho two eyes nro com
blncd nnd the houso across the street
assumes depth and relief. Although
we see u houso with each eye, wo seo
only ono houso with both eyes. This
makes tho stereoscope possible an in-
trumcnt ho designed Uint the two eyes
are made to converge on n slnglo point
nd yet to seo two different pictures.

Two Views of a Treaty.
The treaty of Ghent, which ended
tho wnr of 1812, as signed on the 28th
of December, 1814, was variously ro
garded. Henry Clay, ono of the signers,
thought it "n bad treaty" and did
not hesitate to sny so. In certain high
quarters in England, cm the other hand,
It was looked upon' as n great oppor
tunity thrown nway.
An nblo minister would linve con
tinued tho war," Lieutenant Gcuernl
Sir Charles Napier declared, "until tho
northern states withdrew from tho
Union, mnklng n separate treaty with
England, after which England could
havo raised tho negroes of tho south,
marched to Washington nt Uio head of
on lmmenso force of armed and disci
plined black regiments and dictated
peace, making Delnwaro nn independ

When the llttlo blond stenographer

"Why don't you get good envolopcs

"These did stick once," the brunette
confided, "but I'm fixing them again."
"What's tho Idea?"

Tho Word Galtera.
Episcopal gaiters cannot dnto from a
very rcmoto antiquity. Tho very word
"gaiters" Is almost a nowcomor to tho
language. Johnson's Dictionary docs
not rccognlzo its existence. It does not
occur beforo 1700, nnd even In 1802 n
military dictionary had to dcflno It an
'a sort of spatterdashes." "Guctre,"
however, tho French original, goes back
nt least to tho fifteenth century, nnd
tho origin of Uiat Is lost, though ety

all sorts of languages, including nn old
Gorman word for n baby's dlrlstonlng

An Unregretted
Mistake
By ALAN HINSDALE
During a winter season I wns n mem
ber of n ccrtnln "bunch" conslsUng of
half n dozen girls and as many fellows,
who associated principally with each
other. Wo mado It n rule to address
ono another by our Christian names.
Wo wero nil excellent friends, but so
far as I know thcro wns nothing lover
llko between nny couple. If there wns
any ono of tho girls thnt I was more
drnwn to than tho others It was Edith
Clovorllc, but our intercourse wns en
tirely friendly and nothing more.
Wo became scattered In the spring,
some of tho girls going to tho country
early, some of tho fellows going off to
different plnces to make their start in
n career. I remained in tho city whero
wo hnd been so happily united. Ono
morning on nrrlving nt my placo of
business I found on my desk n tele
gram rending ns follows:
Chatowortli, N. T June , .
'. 11. Emerson, Victoria, N. Y.i
You ure expected by tho 4 o'clock train.
Como to 41 South Prospect street at 9 p. m.
sharp. Barbara haa arranged between us.
EDITH C.
If ever a fellow was puzzled that
fellow wns myself. I nm Francis Rob
ert Emerson. The signer seemed to
bo Edith Cloverllo, nnd Barbara Stew
art was ono of our social clique. But
whnt I was wnnted nt Chatsworth for
was more than I could Imagine.
Chatsworth wns but nn hour's rldo
by rail, nnd I determined to nnswer
the telegram In person. On my nrrlvnl
there I dined and spent tho evening In
tho pnrk smoking till 0 o'clock, when
rang the doorbell nt 41 South Pros
pect street I was received by a maid.
who took my card upstairs nnd, re
turning, said that Miss Carter would
bo down in n few minutes.
Miss Carter! Hero was a solution
in n nutshell. Tho telegram had not
been sent by Edith Cloverlle. After
all, n mlstnko hnd been mado through
a coincidence of names. What should
I do? Doubtless when tho young lady
appeared nnd met u mnn she had never
seen beforo nn explanation would bo
reached.
Miss Carter came down dressed to
go out. She displayed no surpriso at
all on meeting n stranger. She was to
mo on sight Intensely nttracUvc. Sho
received mo cordially and began In
this wise:
"I presumo Barbara or, rather, Mr.
Underwood, hns explained Just what Is
required of you, und thero Is nothing
for mo but to do what Bho requires of
me. I hnvo kept her secret and no
disarrangement of her plans will occur
from my having communicated them
to any one. Of course, now Uint you
nre to bo ono of Uio actors In this lit
tlo"-
"Pardon me. I cannot receive a so
cret under u mlstnke. Beforo proceed
ing further will you tell mo who dd
you think I am?"
"Why, Barbara Martin's betrothed.
of course."
"And who Is Barbara Martin's be
trothed?"
"Who is her betrothed! Why, Fred
Emerson. Why do you ask theso ques
tions?" "Bccauso there hns been a mistake.
I am Frank Emerson, not Fred. This
morning I received a telegram from
ono I supposed to bo Edith Cloverlle.
It was doubtless Intended for ono Uio
inlUnls of whoso namo nro tho samo
us mine. I did not understand why
I wus to como here, but I camo. I beg
of you not to tell mo what I havo no
right to listen to."
"Oh, my good gracious!"
I took out tho telegram and explain
ed tho cotncldcnco of names ns I have
explained It hero. But tho young
lady's mind was on something olso.
"This is very unfortunate," sho said,
much disturbed. "Mr. Emerson and
I wore expected to do certain things
tonight A carringo is to call for us at
half past 0. Wo woro to go whero thu
coachman would tnko us, and"
"Can I not net In tho other fellow'
stead?"
"That I don't know. I havo not been
given tho details of tills affair. I am
expected to do whnt I shall bo told
to do."
"Then it would not bo wlso to Intro
duce mo ns this Fred Emerson. You
nro not authorized to bring a stranger"
Into a secret belonging to others."
"But If wo do uot appear tho whole
affair may collapse."
At this moment n maid appeared and
nnnouueed to Miss Carter that bIio was
wnnted on tho telephone. Sho left ma
for a few uiluutcs and on returning
seemed very much relieved.
"It's been postponed," Bho Bald. "It
camo to light late in the afternoon that
this Fred Emerson hud not received
my telegram."
"For which I am duly thankful."
"Why do you say that?"
"Bocnuso If ho had received it
would not nnd should havo been de
prived of tho pleasure of thU inter.
vlow."
Sho did not appear at all displeased
at this speech, which sho mistook for
mere gallantry. It was much more
tho case was ono of lovo at first eight
"But you have had all this Journey
for nothing."
"My tlmo will hung heavily on my
hands unless you permit mo to remain
In your company for tho rest of the
evening."
"I shall bo pleased to entertain you.
