December 2 1897. THE NERBASKA INDEPENDENT RUDOLPH. By MARY V. SHELLEY. (CoprriKht, im, hy Ihu Author.

But in there not an appallingly tragic element in the action of futo, when, an we o often know it, the catita tiopbeba 00 relation to responsibilities iwywbero; when it in but blind bolt, falling blindly, stopping, crashing, an nihilating, without more moral signifi cance than is in the rain which Jul In alike on the Just and on the unjust? la it not because this is too appalling, be cause it frightens on a children nro frightened in the dark, that we cling so closely to those Instances of human his tory In which deed and doom are bound together by brief and simple sequencer? v It in a very uuimposlng little figure that is most deeply assis'luted in my mind with that other and more mysteri ous tragedy in which the Hue and sane and true are overpowered by that blank, meaningless and terrible power we cull , chance, One spring day, yearn ugo, it happen d that for a few hours I, myself only a Jhoolgirl, was given charge of an un familiar village school. It wan in a mongrel southern mountain town, Vbcre some coal mines were lamely ' lontributlng to the foundations of thut new south which an yet (lie old nouth nean ly grudgingly admitted an u poa nihility, Tim school wan made tip of luch a variety of dements an probably could not have been matched at that time in any achoolroom south of Die Ohio river, There were Yankee ohil dren from tlio cant and tin went, moun tain bom and noutbern born children (the mountaineer in louthern only in a hallow geographical sense), even chil dieu with a brogue and a touch of broad Luncusbiro dialect, but in thin crowd, m heterogeneous for the nouth, mo homogeneous compared to the mixture the north in forced to venture ujmiii, there wan but one child who spoko the English language with a foreign accent. . To mo, ai 1 ntroggled with the ojton Ij log class, tiiey all seemed conspicuously united by a common dullness. Thin clans wan of the older ncholarn, and they were studying ' Tutor l'arley's Univer ' - sal History, " that absurd yet admirable little book superseded generations agoev erywhere but in forgotten and benight- ed southern nookn by works paralyzing ly full and dintrennliigly accurate. The lesson was about Prussia. That torpor which nature enables all bnt the liveli est children to take on as a protection against the horrors of the schoolroom A, pervaded the clans. The big girls and ji.boys sat about in attitudes of heavy I Xroodennens, answering questions, when Yf-Abey conld answer tbeni at all, as if I badly constructed, insufflcient uiuchin ery were for the moment put in motion. 1 I was casting about in my mind as to what would bring them to life, when, as J quoted something from the lesson about the king of i'runnia (the book dated much farther back than the seven ties), I beard the shiest, softest, eager est young voice say, an if the barriers of repression had perforce given way, "He's emperor now." I turned to see to whom ail these les son words meant facts, thoughts, some thing else than gibberinb, with a seuse of unreasonably grateful refreshment. There iie was, a broad shouldered, dark eyed little boy, about lii years old, who was seated, when school opened, half way back in the long, grimy room, but who was now wriggling with vitality, suppressed interest and an overpowered but abiding sense of misconduct on a seat just behind the recitation benches, drawn there evidently by a forc e simi lar in its impcriousncHS to gravitation J itself. "He's Dutch," remarked a boy in I the duns in a tone explanatory, but not lowered. II "Win.! Vfilll llHtim?" f Mybiwl "Hudolph, ma'am."

At noon my little brief authority end ed. 1 left Hudolph lunging about the playground in a game of bunn, rather clumsy, something of a butt in the sport, and perfectly hearty and good na tural, Before ho came to me in the after noon I had leurued something about bim. He won known among the men of our household, 1 found, through his babitof "hanging around" where any talk about the mines wus going on, and, oddly enough, because of his nota bly courteous ways at the postofllce and the store, places where the minors were given to tueitly asserting their supe riority to all other clusnes. His father and mother were Oermans, I was first told, but Jim, 11 small cousin, said the father wus "hulf Kyetulitin," and fur ther informed me Unit Kudolpb was "no good" -that ho couldn't catch a ball. "But he's very nice and good fea tured, isn't he?" I inquired, weakly longing to hear only praises of my dis covery, My young man stared, "Yaw," he drawled in uncomprehending derision and dlnuppeured uroitnd the corner of the porch on bis hands. I was sitting on tint port It when Ku dolpb came, a little uwkwurd, but with al much more plcuxed tliuii shy, stop ping to wipe his bare feci on the gruns, and before lie wus fidrly under the roof taking off Ids lmclcN rug of a hut, with a bright smile of greeting, I Jowl gathered together some old illustrated papers of the time of the Kraneo-l'ms-aiau war, He f'll upon them, "1 before one tiid nee, a long time. It had a picture of another emperor, Mux Maximilian' He tint! wun killed, is it not so? How how could that come when Im was emperor? Was lie not tho bigest?" Hudolph scon recognized tint necessi ty of limiting his Held of research and began to put me through a most ex haustive exuminutlou on Kruco-(Jcr-mau polities, iie did not find mo alto gether satisfactory. My knowledge was too superficial und too qualified, He caught continually 11 1 main linen of causation, which could b followed on ly by going far afield, "Why wished the French emperor to flght?" lie finally asked, w itlt 11 touch of sternness, when I hud tried to describe the diplomatic pretenses by which the war wun precipitated, "1'ooplo thought (liitf ho wan afraid the French nation went getting tired of n Jit nit villi kin little forrAitynr on a por trait of Kapoteon. bim, that they might begin to ask again wby be should be emperor, and no he wanted to give them something else to think about and to please tbeni by mak ing thorn victorious," Hudolph pondered. "Yon know not oroly?" "No, of course he would not suy things like thut, nor would the men who worked for him even if they 1st lieved they knew his thoughts. " "It must been something that way, is it not? You think it would been bet ter he not try ami be smart so?" He sut with his grimy little fon tliiKer on a portrait of Napoleon III mid looked at uto eagerly, as if it were the end of u fairy tale In was uwaiting. "Hello, Dutchyl" called Jim front the ihstrwuy, "Hello!" attswcri d Itttdolph pleusunt ly, but with the umo uir of deeply un conscious patronage with which one would put a dog while thinking o' something else, "Miss Mollycoddle, Mi Mnllycod diet" shottti d the other ns im tore awuy and over the fence.

I soon made my way to tho despoiled hillside half poor village, half bure woods where was Kudolpb'i home. It wan a neat little cabin, und I wan pleased to find tho family all thero the little Teutonic blond sister, the work worn, dust colored, plain mother, and the big, dark futher, with bin touch of Latin vivacity appearing and disappear ing beneath his gravity. Kudolpli gawd at mo, pleased anil proud und possessive cossessive of ev erybodyand silently brought tho little passive sister to my elbow, thut I might better note bor churms. I scut bim oil to fill my bottle with water from the sulphur spring, no that I could talk better about himself, "I think Kudolpli is a very remark able boy," I begun "a very, very smart' boy," I added in my effort to muku myself comprehended, "Yas," said the father briefly from tho doorstop where he stood, "he inn great great hero, great here," He touched Hrst his forehead, thun his breust, The mother, who could speak no Eng lish, showed by her softening rouute nunce, as sito looked at us and then aft er tho boy, that she understood, "I come to Amcrion for he, I know sot that he get much good, but I try." "He'll bo great in himself anyhow." "Yas, dat iss so," spoken witli tran quil solemnity. "Not nntiiy iss (torn dat way us he, tilior, I wish he get ed-u cu tion." Tito word hud been well learn ed. "He not get much hero?" turning a gaze of troubled inquiry upon mo. He told me how ha was afraid to go now to a place with better schools for four he could not And work. He could do no skillud labor. Ho longed toget. Hudolph a place in the machine shops, but the boy wus not clever with his bauds. Tor bupn ho could never rise much above his father unit ss he got "one cd-u-ctt-tion," I said there wus small fear; ho'd find bin wuy to a very practical educa tion; ho'd know many things beforo ho wun grown, The man's fuco brightened, and he showed his white teeth as he nodded and said a few words to the mother, who nodded und smiled too. "He unk, ask til ways," ho said. Tho small sister now started down tho hill, making her legs fly until she met tho returning brother and wan lift ed on ills luck, where, when he arrived, ho hung, dumb, solemn and ro'-'td eyed as before, I arranged that Hudolph should corns and see mo often, and laboriously sup pressed my tendency to make vague promises and prophecies an to his future. Who knew what could or could not bo counted upon in this disjointed world? Tho cuptivating thing about Ku dolpb 'n mind wan tho curious absence of any touch of precocity, It was as normal as a blackbird's; all its pecul iarity seemed to lie in its superior onndness, reasonableness and activity ; things wero real to him; phenomena seeded to bo accounted for. He was al ways trying to accomplish , the explana tion, striking for tho roots of things, He bad a sleepless desire to find out. His interest in history it did not, by the way, reach the point of enabling bim to derive pabulntn from the nnual bintorieal classics was as simple in its way as Jim's in tho story of a possum hnnt. The difference was that Kudolpb bad the qualities that enabled bim to grasp the verity of the larger games, while poor Jim could only comprehend the existence of things akin to his expe rience. I tried, of course, a hundred youthful experiments with this delightful mind and came to the conclusion that it wus not an artist's organ ; that it was meant for tho conduct of large affairs at first band, not for any plustio or poetic after interpretation of them. Not that he was without appreciation of such interpreta tions. On the contrary, he wus appreeiu tivo of more things than any one I ever knew. Ho was alive to tho interest of every form of meutul activity presented to him. Ho was a choice champion fo" days in the woods and would lie silent for hours on the high briuks of thoe far, fair blue gulfs with which the val leys encompass the mountain. Hut hu was mastered by the thirxt for large knowledge of human undertak ings. Ho probably had more actual ac quaintance with the mines than had my coumIii, t ho pmddcnt of tho compa ny, and though arithmetic was a pain ful thing to him be would cuter into computations as to llm operations and by sheer force of reuouitig would piodi bis calculations Isyond the miut of hi schoolroom acquirements. The 1 htttiuts were browu in their ounkfli when one day, one memorable dtty, I went nutting with Hudolph and Jim, We bail two or throe hours of llm ituplenl, pun Hi ih lights, all turned in to three bartuli'M )ouug animals, w lilt bat one Idea in ihe world client nut.

He low was the gulf, whoso faroff depths were filled with the beautiful, visible music of waving branches; above me the lute yellow sun light shone brilliantly between the durk trunks of other trees, and benenth them stood two white faced little boys. Hu dolph was nearest me, half way down tho slope. I saw a whole beartful of history take place within him ns I gazed. Tho flrxt stroke of terror was fol lowed by a heavier, for between tho two, in a long second's time, tho child found ont he loved me. He had never thought of loving me before; rather, as love goes not by thinking, ho had been deflected by no pulsutiou of conscious love toward me, 1 was a pleasant factor in a diversified universe; I was not the father, nor the mother, nor the little sister, But suddenly, here and now, as Hay there heiieiith the fuir sky, help less and in mortal danger, Hudolph ' heart went out to ine. He loved mo, atttl be loved me greatly, with a flush Inn, buckward, heart bursting realization that I had been good to him, These aro many words, but three changing ex pressions, melting swiftly into each other on the child's face, told it nil. Jim did t he bent he could, It was use less, but it wus all his lights and his gifts were equal to. Ho could run, and he run, far und fast, starting at once, With only a hulf choked word and a nod to Hudolph, und taking himself off in good shape, though he wus so white Kudolpli and 1 were alone, and al ready my power to cling to the rook wus weakening. ' I tried to wriggle myself upward. I slipped a very little further down. Hu dolph now nodded reassuringly ut me, laying in u queer, low voice, "In one minute," un he ran a short distance to whero u lot of poles lay cut for some purpose, Ho came buck dragging one. Tho nearest point to me thut olTorod firm unchoritgo was where, at one side and somewhat above me, stood a young licrolock in 11 cleft in tint rook. Hudolph selected the spot In an instant, but the distunco between mn und it was greater than tho length of tho pole. Ho imme diately stripped oil bis coarse cotton And punhed me the pule. birt. splitting ono sleeve in two, be knotted the parts firmly around the tree. He torn a strip off the garment. He tied that, with a loop banging, just abovo tho butt end of tho pole. Hy hold ing to the shirt bound to the tree he could extend his range perhaps a foot. The loop ut the end of the jkiIo gave him a few inches more Hu clutched the shjrt, put his other hand through the loop and twisted it about his wrist, slipped towurd me us fur as he could ou his knees and pushed me the pole. Not a moment had been lost. I conld reach it if 1 caught, quick and Arm before I had time to slip after relaxing my pres sure on tho ris k. There was nothing else to do. A minute later I sat at the foot of the hemlock, and dent It hud once more fled into the far, dim haze of tho unreal ized future, but I was cold with the feel of bin breath npon me. It seemed hours beforo two haggard faced men rode up on nimudillcd, fouuting horses. Thn next day euitit) tho end the stu pid, meuniiigless, miscrublo cud. I can uot dwell upon it.
