The Death
Vampire
By EDWARD T. STEWART
Tlicro Is a certain region in thcMiuth
west where tlio people have a xti-angi'
belief. Where they got It im one
tlu-ro or oIbowIioio can tell. They are
Ignorant, and Ignorance In tho father of
superstition. Antl thht eapeelnl lhf
of tuolrs could oxlut only among a hu
perstillons coa uniiilty. It In Mint when
any one Is dying thorn nic vampire
who suck the breath from the hotly.
One winter ovuiiIhk when the snow
was falling fast and tho wind wan
blowing it Into drlflH John Iluthu
way, a country lawyer, wiih riding tc
thn county Boat to attend court. What
befell him ho has narrated n follown:
1 wiib on horseback, my siiddltjbug
being full of legal documents, lunch
eon mid n flank of brandy. Tho snow
wnH whirled about In eddies that cOn-,
fused me, and I began to bo frightened.
1 had no Idea whothor. I wiih on tho
road or oft it. All of n midden my
horse sank down Into a drift, fulling
on his sldoviiiid pinning my lag .Under
him. Tho log was not hurt, for It
rented on snow. At least It did not
jmln mo. Tho horse struggled awhile,
then lay still.
I was now In terror lost I should
bo obliged to Ho thoro till I froze. The
flask and tho luncheon were In the
pocket of the saddlebag that was un
der the horse, and I could not get at
them. If over a enso looked, hopeless
It wns this, for tho thermometer stood
not far above zero, and, not being ublo
to move, I was pretty sura to go to
sleep, niHl that monnt death, I felt
sure that I was bcsldo tho road prob
ably my horse had stopped off It Into a
ditch and persons usually wero pass
ing, but what wits to bo expected In
such n storm? And night was already
falling.
I managed to rnlRo my hoad far
enough to look about mo within nar
row limits. A few hundred yards
ahead was n house, but lis yet thoro
wero no lamps lit In It. I shouted, but
there wu no answer.
Whether I slept or not, whether I
was simply benumbed by the cold,
now long I romnlned unconscious, I do
not know, but suddenly I was aroused
by n spasmodic strugglo of my horse.
It seemed to mo that my leg was free.
I tried ami found that I could niovo It
I struggled to free-myself from tho
drift and clambered up on (o higher
ground, whero tho snow was not so
deep, It struck mo that I bad regained
Uio road.
Glancing toward tho house I had
seen, I saw n light In one of tho win
down. I wondered If I had strength
to go there. Getting on my feet, I
Started and to lhy surprise walked
With tolerable caso. Having reached
Mio house, I pushed tho front door open
and stood in tho hallway. Tho only
light was from the lamp I hud seen in
tho window, and I now saw that it
was in a bedroom in tho rear. Tho
door of this room was ajar, and I en
tcred. Thoro was plenty of furniture.
but It was dilapidated. Thus far I en
countered no person.
I fell exhausted on tho bed and lost
consciousness. Presently I felt suffo
cation. I awoke, conscious that 1 was
losing my breath. I felt a pair of
clammy Hps on mine. Tutting out
both hands, I grasped n pair -f arms,
cold as marble, and with u strength
horn of horror hurled whoovor wuh on
mo awny. Tho light iu tho room must
have gono out, for I was In darkness.
Yet in another momont I was look
ing at n light I saw dimly u different
scene from that in my. bedroom. It
was a lantern a fow yards from mo
and higher than I. By it I mudo out a
learn, and u dork flgura was behind
tho light. Then felt arms under
mine, and I was lifted and dragged up
on to tho level, whero u man was hold,
lag tho lantern, Then both men lifted
mo on to tho wagon. Ono got in with
mo, tho othor on to tho seat, and wb
moved on, tho horses struggling
through tho snow, tho man bcsldo mo
shaking and rubbing mo.
After awldlo tho wngon stopped,
and I was helped into n house, whero
a hot drink wns given mo nnd I was
put to bed.
Tho next day I was all right, I as!;
ed for tho men who had rescued mo
and was told that they had gono on.
I nslcod what had becomo of my horso
nnd wns informed that ho had suc
cumbed. My next question was about
tho hoiiBo -whero I had slept, nnd after
describing it I wns told Mint it was
haunted and on that account lind long
ago been desorted. I told of my Bleep
lug there and of my dream or night
maro or whatever it was.
I was talking to an old woman, u
young woman and a young man, tho
younger woman's husband. When I
had told of Hinging off tho monster the
threo looked ut ono another.
"Now, Sam," said tho old woman
to tho man, "after this will you still
rofuvo to bellevo?"
The man looked much disturbed.
"What lo you mean?" I. asked.
4,Wly Btrangor," sho said, "you was
n-ilyln'. A vamplro was u-sucklu' of
ycr breath, IOC It hadn't booh for tho
two men ' as como along npd pulled
you out of tho snow tho monster M V
got yo. Yo wasn't in tho haunted
house nt nil."
"Yes, lo wus, maw," siild tho young
woman. "Tho vumplro put tho light in
tho winder to eutlco him thoro for to
Hiiek the breath outeii'hlni. '
Convinced that "my nightmare had
been occasioned by my crumped post
tlorwl left this Intellectual, group: 1
bad been kopt from freezing by the
wanntu or my uorso b uouy.
For a Pinch
Of Snuff
8 ESTHER VANDEVEER
5
In 170- Walter Watherspoon. a stu
dent at Kings (now Columbia1 college.
wns crossing the enmpus. nlttiated in
the lower part of Now York, not far
from tho city hall, when lie met Ger
trude Sprlngstead, tho daughter of a
China merchant, jcolng to her home on
the Bnttory. The two were lovers and
expected to bo married after young
Wnthorspoon's graduation, which was
to occur in tho following Juno. Before
seeing his lluiieoo coming ho took his
snuffbox from a pocket in then-oluml-nous
skirt of his coat and, pluclng a
pinch between hU thumb and linger,
crammed it up first into one nostril,
then into mother, snlfllng lustily.
"Oh, Wnlter," said tho, girl when
they met, "if- father know 'you snuffed
It -would bo nil up with us I ho detest
the habit nnd would force mo to break
with you."
"In that case, Mistress Gertrude." re
plied Waller, "I must not let him sec
me snulllng."
Hut supposo hp hears that you
snuff?"
'Yon are right. I must drop Mio halt
It till at least aftor We arc married."
Taking n .lacquered box from his
pocket, ho handed It to Gertrude, tejl
Ing her to keep it Mil after tho wed
ding, at tho same time promising her
that he would not buy another or.more
snuff till they hud boon married.
Now, Wftthoropoon was ioor as n
church mouse and was obliged to work
his way through college, which he did
by giving so much or his Mmo as ho
could spare from his studies to a tal
low chandler. Gertrude, on tho con
trary, was the only child and heiress
to what was then n' large fortune, Nat
urally tho young man was loth to loso
his sweetheart uid did not relish losing
tho fortuno sho would bring him.
Watherspoon worked hard all -winter
both at his studies and pouring melted
tallow into candlo molds. After a few
weeks' lo found that he could get on
very well' without snulllng and iwsured
Gertrude that there would bo no trou
ble for them on that score. IIo even
declared that taking tobacco Into one's
nose wns a filthy habit, and ho would
never resume It, which -was, of course,
very pleasing to her.
A new convert Is always an enthusi
astic convert. Wnlter, hnvlng thrown
off tho shackles of a bad habit, culled
tho nttcntlon of his friends to Ms 01s
agreeablcuess to others than tho snuff
er. Why should one pause whllo chat
ting with unother to cram a nasty pow
dered weed into Ills nose, making a dis
gusting noise through his nostrils and
leaving his noso smeared with tobneco?
His friends listened deferentially to
his protests, but paid little attention to
thorn, not infrequently taking out a
snuffbox, olTering it to him, thou tak
ing a pinch whllo he was shaking.
Walter kept his promise to his linn-,
ccc, nobly refraining from tho habit he
hud eschewed. Iu duo time ho wns
grnduuted from college, una his father-in-law
to bo had consented that he
should go into hlH counting room on the
street facing tho East liver and begin
preparation to take position as mana
ger of tho business when Mr. Spring
stead retired. Whllo learning tho busi
ness Wnltor was to draw a nominal
salary.
Walter was tho envy of nil tho young
men in town. Engaged to n lovely girl
nnd heir to n lino business. Surely
providence had favored him.
Tho wedding day opened bright nnd
bcnutlful, Walter, after breakfast
went to tho Sprlngstead homo nnd Was
placed in a front room which faced tho
bay to await tho hour for tho cere
mony. Tho sun glittered on tho wtive-
lets. . Tho Islands to tho left, tho right
and in tho distance stood out clear nnd
green. Directly In tho foreground was
tho old fort about which tho city had
grown nnd prospered. Wnlter was su
premely happy.
Tho door opened nnd Gortrudo came
In boarlng tho snuffbox ho had given
her months before.
"I can't Icavo this here," sho Bald.
"After I have left mother will go
through my room, and It will bo dls
covered,"
" "Glvo It to me." snld Wnltor. "I will
take it awny with mo. and get rid of It
on our wedding trip."
Gertrude handed him tho box and
hnstoned away to bo robed In her wed
ding garments. Wnltor opened it nnd
lieu It under his noso. What n dell
clous fragrance! How plcnsnnt it
would be to take Just ono plnchl Tnk
lug n little of tho snuff between ids
thumb and linger, ho hold It near Ids
nostrils. Then ho thought of tho risk
he would take if ho indulged nud put
It back In the box. tint ho took an
inner pmcu, nnu again tlio nromu
Lieeted his nostlls.
Mr. SprlURHtend, passing through tho
halt, heard n violent1 sneeze. Opening
the door of the room from which it
W-nod to v0"Jt' thpro was Wnlter with
nu ppn snuffbox In ono hand nnd his
hnndkorehlof in tho othor. Ho greeted
his rnthor-ln-lnw to bo with another
sneeze.
When, n couple of hours later, guests
arrived to witness tho nuptials they
were informed that there would bo o
nuptial. No reason was assigned, Mr.
bimogstcnd put a veto on Ills daugh
tor's nuurlago, and tho groom went to
Ids own quarters
For n pinch of snuff ho had given a
rJJc. n tortune and a splendid bus!

Broken Peace
By F. A. MITCHEL
I was gUtU' on well enough, hue
pendent as n wood sawyer's deiU
whon that consumed Jlnl $1iupkii.
come along nud put nu Idea into n:,
head that sp'ilcd the hull business. 1
had JNt dom my week's wnshln' o' th
dishes, hnvln put 'onion to the wagi'i.
and drlv 'cm into the crick njjjl mopped
'oni. nnd wns tukln out tlio horse
when Jim como along.
"What y' been dolrt'?" he says.
"Washln' the dishes. Next, wook 1
got to change tho sheets, sooln' they
hain't been Changed in two months
Saturday'll bo the last dny, o' the
month, and that's my sweepln day."
"By gum. Enoch," says Jim, "that
hain't no kind o' work for u man.
Why don't y' git- a wife to do It for
you?"
"I don't fee," snys I, "how any wo
man could do it nny bettor'n I. She'd
tnko n lot mOro time nbout It,' and
tnebbc Mio winders would git washed
Of-crfBlnnnlly, but my opinion Is that a
woman Is always ktckiu up a dust for
within'. My wny o' doln' It Is to lei
tho dust git Hfttled before dlsturbln' It
again. Y' can't git a woman to do that."
Jim and I walked to the house, and
he conic In. Fact Is he wanted to find
someplu to find fault with. And he
did. Ho said that it was tho dirtiest
house he'd over been in. When ho was
goln' away he said:
"Enoch, I got a wlfo that when we
was first married used to stir up the
dust n lot. I complained, and she told
mo that if I preferred dust in bulk
rather Minn at retnll oho didn't She
said a man's place wasn't In the house
anyway when u woman wus cleanln'.
So I mndo it u p'lnt to find someplu to
do outside when sho was stlriin' up the
dirt, and when I come back again ev
erythlng looked spiel: nnd span, nud 1
got used to havln' it that a-wuy and
couldn't stimd it t'other wny."
"It's nil a mntter o' habit," I says.
Jim went away, but lio'd put a flea
Into my ear. TIr re was n likely gal
at Hunker's farm Hunker's wife's nls-
tor. I reckoned that I'd go down and
sec her. Mebbc I might take her In
for tho house work If she'd come. Nut
urally I got to tellln' her how I washed
the dlttheo and tho other things. Sho
larfed nnd Bald thut I was very Ingen
ious. She'd never thought nbout doln
dishes that a-wny. And ns for sweep
in', she thdrt my wny o' lcavln' the
dust to settle beforo stlrrin' it up ngaln
was u good Idea. Anyway that was nil
right for u man who didn't know how
tb do slch things without a lot o' trouble.
"Well, I sot up to her for a month or
so on Sunday nights, at tho end of
which time wo was married and went
to my house to live. My Aunt Emily
says to mo ni'ore I wns chained, says
sho, "Enoch, you don't mean to take a
wlfo Into that house o' youm without
havln' some woman go into it nnd cart
awny the dirt, do you?" And I says:
Aunt Emily, what I'm glttln mnrrlod
for Is to have some ono to keep the
house In order. Sho mought ns well
begin at tho beglnuln'." Aunt Emily
says, says sue; "ler ueglunln' tho
wrong wny. When n couple starts In
to keep liouso together they ought to
havo smooth sullln' at the commence-
Inent Instead o' Mint, you're goln' to
bogln with a tine inducement for n
scrnp."
1 wns mighty feared when she snid
this that I'd better havo gono on as I
was, but it wns too Into for thut now.
So I tuk my wife right inter tho liouso
Just ns It wus.
"Enoch," sho says, "take all tua
buckets nud go out to tho well nnd fill
em."
I did this, and when I came back I
found that my brido had taken off her
weddln' outfit nnd put on scrubbln' unl
