My parents, who believed that the
best fortune they could give their sons
was a good education, made many
sacrifices to keep me at college I
uliall not tell the name of the special
seat of learning, for obivious reasons,
but you may be able to guess it. Its
professors were men of renown. It
was a famous college for many reas
ons, but there was more idiotic haz
ing of freshmen and more playing of
practical jokes on persons whose
years and positions ought to have
protected thorn than had ever been
dreamed of in any college in exist
ence. We had talked this matter over bo
fore I left homo, and I had promised
my father not to be dragged into any
of those affairs whic h had made the
gowns of Collcgo the terror of the
town.
I had kept my promise pretty woll
not entirely; but still I folt that I
had not been mixed up in the most
disgraceful affairs that hod been
bruited about by the papers since I
entered college. I had nothing to do
with making the young freshman from
Eiew Jersey eat 6oap, of which he
nearly died. I had nothing to do
with hazing the young Texan, who
produced a pair of pistols and
popped away at his tormentors,
with results iiioregratifying to himself
than to them. 1 did not put the
stuffed monkey, stolen from thoense
in the museum of natural history, in
to the soup, nor had I anything to do
with the old boots found one morning
in the coffee-kettle. No .townsman
had had his hat knocked over his eyes
by me, or his windows broken, or his
door-bell handle twisted off. I did
not tack the butcher sign over the
door of Doctor iJoscum, nor stuff the
cliapel pulpit-cushion with explosive,
which the emphatic list of the preach
er would set off and did nor was it
my brush that so touched up the port
rait of the respected founder of the
college that he looked down upon tho
dining-hall ono morning naorned by a
white night-cap, orange-colored whis
kers, a patch over his right eye and
pmoking a pipe of tho dudeen order.
Neither fellow-collegians, professors
nor townsmen ever suffered at my
hands; but when it came to Howies,
that was different. Bowles was an old
factotum of the place, whose posit ion
it would be hard to define, lie did a
little of everything and seemed to bo
under the orders of no one in particu
lar. He was as unpleasant an old fel
low as can well be imagined, and spied
upon us very maliciously. '-Ilia
duties" were his excuse for being for
ever where he was not wanted, and ho
could neither be cajoled nor bribed to
bold his tongue.
I made an exception when it came
to Bowles, and was ready to help in
any practical joke played upon him.
By the time I had been at collcgo
four years I had raised a very neat
mustache and had lost my heart to a
young lady who was the "admiration
of the whole town. I will not attempt
to describe her; but she was Professor
Parry's only daughter, Gertrude. He
had the chair of mathemat ics, and I
was a favorite pupil of his, having a
leaning in the direction of his favorite
science. I did him credit and I appre
ciated him. I was often honored by
' an invitation to tako tea with the
family at their residence near the col
lege; and it was thus that I learned to
know and love the professor's daugh
ter. . In fact, we were engaged, t hough
as yet we dared not speak of it to our
elders, and knew it must be a long
while before we thought of marriage.
I hoped this year to graduate and to
take mathematical honors, if not poll
ers. I was in a romantic and serious
mood, and never so little disposed to
join in pranks of any sort as I was
then. When it was resolved to play
that last trick on Bowles, I should
surely have washed my hands of it
but that he tormented me so in regard
to Gertrude.
Whenever I contrived to take a
walk with her, we were always sure to
meet Bowles. Whenever I coaxed her
to come out upon tho porch of her
resideuce and talk to me, Bowles came
bobbing np the path with what he
always spoke of as "an arrent to
: Professor." If she wrote to me,
Bowles officiously took the letter out
of the place where he should have left
it, and brought it to me with an atr
, of knowing whence it came. If she
. went alone to church and I joined her
in the pew, Bowles, suddenly grown
devout, was seen near us, his eyes
turned perpetually in our direction.
As he constituted himself advisory
counsel in every case and believed
that he knew more on all subjects
than the whole college put together, I
father feared that he would take my
matrimonial affairs into his hands to
their injury. And thus when Roe and
Stephens said to me that it was
ftDout time old uowies liaa another
dose, I agreed that it was, and added
that it should bo a good one, if I had
the arrangement of it.
We were paying a good deal of at
tention toelectricity at that time, nnd
after some consultation, it was decid
ed that we would arrange a battery in

"had Ixscn trickiui; him wain." And
next to U-ing "tricked, "Bowles hated
to have it known. Ittookiloiui hit
conceit for a dny or two, thouc.ii it
always made him more spiteful, which
Wiun very natural.
It wanted but a week to commence
ment, and I felt that every moment
was precious. But it had only been
that very day that i had found IUr.v
les fieeping into my writing-desk, un
der pretense of du-.tii3 it, and had
been rending my last letter from Ger
trude. Therefore, I Hpcnt quite a long
time in perfect iir? a contrivance, that
would fnhten Bowles nearly out of
his senses, nnd even hurt him a very
little.
About 0 o'clock the const was clear.
The professors who had residences
were none to them. Those who slept
in the college were in their rooms.
The steady men were rending in theirs,
witn wet towels aliout their head.".
And we had the hall Irom which Pro
fessor Parry's special room opened to
ourselves.
. It was quite a little task to conceal
our contrivam ., ...J, when we had
done it, we mc mted a pair ot stairs,
nnd hid oursi ves in a small gallery
that crossed jneend of tho hall, to
observe tn success of our scheme. It
was not quite 10 o'clock when wo saw
sonio ono open a door at tho end of
the hall.
"Bowles is early," I said.
The figure came on, carrvins some
thing, evidently not a scuttle of coal.
"Jt s not Jiowles," whispered Roe.
"Good Lord!" I earned. "It is tl
he
Professor!"
It was. indeed. Professor Parrv.
He held on his arm a largo pile of
books, and he advanced toward his
class-room door. Never before, to mv
knowledge, siad ho returned to the
college in the evening, after onco leav
ing it.
I must warn him," said I.
But it was too late. 1 fe had touch
ed the door-knob, and, with a howl of
terror, fell down flat, tho books on
every side of him, and on the instant
in rushed Bowles and began to make
a wild outcry, which brought three
professors and four servants instant
ly Jo his aid
Thev
sy picked the Professor up and
k! lii in off, and when thev were
carrie
gone wo stole down into the hall and
took away our abominablo contri
vance.
"I wish I had been hune before I had
anything to do with it!" I said. "It
is ono thing to play a trick on Bowles,
and another to make an elderly man I
respect, as I do Professor Parry, suf
fer. I did not say, "And Gertrude's
father, too," but 1 thought it.
Ninorr" said lioo. " e' 1 suffer if
this leaks out. For Heaven's uuke,
don't go on your knees and say, "It
was I. Plcaso whin me.' "
1 had my fist doubled: but after nil.
Roe was right. Confession could do
no good. Probably tho Professor
was only startled; ho could scarcely
be luiTt. All was silent in tho colleuc.
and after a while I slept.
in tne mornina all was commotion.
Somsthinc serious had evidently
happened, and ail too soon wo were
informed what it was.
"Gentlemen." said Professor .
when we were assembled in tho hall
preparatory to going to chapel, "Gen
tlemen, a very serious, indeed tragic
thing happened hero last night. Hear
ing a fall, we rushed to tho door of
Professor Parry's room, and found
him lying before it, inexplicably alllict
ed as though suffering from a, stroke
of lightning. All the symptoms indi
cated this condition. "Wo took him
home."
"And how is he now, sir?" gasped
Roe.
"They go to Peep I:ll to-day," said
Professor , raising his kerchief to
his eyes. "The family bury ing-ground
is sit uated there."
"Something is the matter with Roe!"
cried a young man, seizing his elbow.
"And with Hawkins!" 1 heard an
other say, as ho caught me by the
shoulder.
As for Stephens, he had rushed out
of the hall.
I came to myself in my own room
very ill. My remorse was so frightrul
that I wonder it did not kill me.' Had
1 really murdered my good old friend?
No ono could ever lind tneout; and for
my parents' sake I would keep the se
cret. But of course, I could never
marry Gertrude. It would bo too
horrible. My brain whirled. I fancied
that I should very soon begin to rave.
As for eoing through theexamination,
that would bo impossible. I should
not graduate that year. Indeed. I
feared I should never be myself again.
I must brave it out as well as I could.
But peace and happiness were gone
forever.
However, I got up, bathed my face
and went down-stairs.
Professor Parry's room was closed.
It was a very wretched sight to me. I
did nothing all day, and that abomi
nable old Bowles was constantly meet
ing me and telling me how badly I
looked "orful peaked," is the way he
expressed it.
At supper-time, Professor again
addressed us.
"In view of the approaching exami
nation and commencement," ho Said,
"we must, in face of the frightful trag
edy which has just occurred, resume
our work tomorrow. Tho Professor
who has promised to take the place of
our beloved Professor Parry can not
bring himself to occupy his room. He
will see you in the room above for the
present. Some of yon must tonight
gather what is needful and place the
things so that Bowles can take them
to the new room. May I request three
of you, Roe, Stenliens and Hawkins,
to attend to the matter as soon as
supper i over?"
1 looked at my accomplices.
"Am I as pale as they?" I wondered
However, to have refused would
have been to excite suspicion. And
armed with a lamp and keeping close
together, we approached the door of
the JJrolessor s old room and entered
"Good God! What a horrible thing
this has been," r;a id Roe, putting the
light on the tablo and shutting the
aoor.
"Horrible!" said I. "It will be the
death of me. I believe I'm done for."
Stephens groaned.
"Why did they send us three togeth
er he asked.
"A coincidence, that is all," said f.
"Well, we must go to work. We
shall want"
"Good Lord!" said Roo. I looked

"IjCt tis out!" Kll.-iLLed PtPp'UTH,
beating at the door. "The ghoatJ

A roar of laughter followed; the
door burst open. In tin-lighted room
we saw the professors and 'Bowles,
mid from tho dark ono w.-'.lked Pro
fessor Parry himself, in the flesh; over
his Brm he held a laro sheet.
"Culm yourselves, gentlemen," ho
said. "But remember hereafter that
it is possible for others to play prac
tical jokes as well tig yourselves.
Yours was quite an ingenious trick,
and I flatter myself so was mine; but
I believe you have been eullicieutly
punished. "
Stephens stood abashed. Roe was
trembling, I felt very ill. but with the
knowledge that j'rmVssor parry
lived camo the wish on my part to do
so; for hours I had wanted to die.
"It was me as found it out," said
Bowles, rubbing his hands together.
"I watched yo from the gallery, and I
seen ye a-lixin a trick tor me, and I
told tho professors, and they fixed one
on you, and a rule good one, too, and
l'vo enjoyed it, 1 have."
"I hope, sir," I said to Professor
Parry, "that you exonerate us from
any intention of insulting you?"
"Yes, yes," said the Professor.
"But we are fond of Bowles and don't
want him bothered either."
"I can't blame ye. I'm very vally
able to ye," said Bowles. "There's a
vast of things I do us no ono elso
could. Well, we've turned tho tables
this time."
They had.
As for mc, I was too ill to attend
commencement, and I had another
year at college to go through with;
but, after ali, I was near Gertrude,
and I did not complain.
Some years after I returned to claim
her us my wife. On our wedding day
Bowles came to church, and afterward
offered his congratulations in this
way.
"You've growed in height and in
breadth, Mr. Hawkins, and I hope
you've improved. There was room
for it; as in most young fellys. But
when I first heard you was to step off
with Miss, I wondered at tho prolfes
sor allowiu' it, that I did, after that
trick."
"So did I, Bowles." I said. "But
you had tho best of it."
"So wo had," said Bowles, accept
ing a tip I offered him, without any
attempt at t hanks, and pocketing it
as ho walked leisurely away. Mary

MARY STARTED AT ONCE.
Ho Had a Wife Who Showed That
She Knew Him.
Ho was a tall good-looking man,
with regular features, and was dressed
in tho height of fashion, but ho was
awfully drunk. Ho came from tho
East a few days ago and registered, at
an uptown hotel. Immediately ho
went on a "tear." The clerk who
knew him in the East, relieved him of
an 800 gold watch and about 1,000
in ciwrency and locked them in the
coin box for safe keeping. This hap
pened when he was about half sober.
Then ho went off and imbibed sonio
more, and when he strolled into tho
hotel office a few hours later ho was
nblo to seo tho clerk, but that was
about all.
"I want to send a telegram to my
wife," he began.
"Have vou the monev to nav for
it?" asked the clerk.
"No. You have mv monev in the
safe, and you pay for it."
"indeed I will lint." rntnrnnil tho
clerk.
Then followed a noisv wrangle be
tween the clerk and the' fellow, which
the latter broke off abruptly, and.
putting his thumbs in the armholes of
his vest, walked about tho corridor
and told the occupants of the chairs
what a shame it was that a man
could not telegraph to his wife; that
she was a peculiar woman and would
not come u est with mm; that he was
a weak man and could not keep sober
unless she was with him. This n!
course, amused the listeners. This
went on tor twenty minutes. Then
the man returned in a more pacific
mood and tho clerk accommodated
him. After a treat deal of talking the
telegram was finally written, and here
lit in;
"Poktlanp, April 1 fl. Mrs. .Chi
cago, III.: Arrived safely to-day, but
am fullasan Irishman'sgoats. Jack."
Tho answer came yesterday and
was short and sweet. It follows:
"Chicacio, 111., April 17. Mr. ,

start for Portland to-day. Mauy."

A Strange Burial.
In the Smolciiskay Cemetcvy in St.
Petersburg a lady was recently buried
under peculiar circumstances. She
had been subject to attacks of leth
argy for several years. She would
often lie for five weeks in succession
without a sign of life, and then wake
up and recover all her faculties. Tho
last time she fell in a longer stupor
than before. There was no sign either
of life or of decay in her. Her family
physician at last allowed her to be
placed in a coffin nnd put in a vault
in the family sepulchre with the fol
lowing precautions: A string was
tied around her body, with
the other end attached to the bell of
the steeple that stands over the fami
ly sepulchre. A sounding board was
placed over the sepulchre, and a me
tallic pipe led from her coffin into it.
Thus tho least movement that she
makes if she awakes will ring tho hell,
and tho least sound that she utters
will bo heard through tho sounding
board. A guard is stationed by the
sepulchre, with orders to open her
grave immediately if she gives any
sign of life. As her death could not
be attested by her physicians no
funeral services were performed at her
grave, fnioli services will be perform
ed when tho coffin is opened and un
mistakable signs of decay discovered
on her body. The grave meantime, is
visited every day by physicians and
members of her family.
IT IS IN THE AIR.

this with tho earnings of t'ac farmer, and also
waffc-warkers in general. In a clear, forcible
Ftylo, with abundant eitationa cf facia and fig
ures, tbe author tells how the fanner readied
his present unsati.-faetory condition. Then fol
lows an tlaborato discussion of " The Way out,"
which is the fullest and most authoiitntive pres
entation of tbe aims and views of tho Farmers'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, tho questions of
interest and niortjrjges, railroads, tho ealo of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This bonk is tho only one which attempts to
cover tlio wholo ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. It is a compendium of
the facts, figures, ami eufrfjestions which tho
farmer ought to have at hand.
