We had. been partners ten years, ever since we had been West, indeed, but some changes made it at length advisable that we should sepe rute.' He had made his fortune, and wanted to return East. I, also, was able to live with less care, and so we sold every acre of our landed property, ami were settling up the books, when there arose dissension. I was not will ing to divide profits equally. John was married and had a family to support, while I was .unmarried. His expenses had been three times as much as mine. Morever, I had taken the burden of the labor and responsibility this having, been tacitly agreed upon, I being the youngest man.. While he had lived comfortably with his wife and children among the farms, with horses, men and money at his hand, and absolute control of the farming interests, I had been beating about over the country, from the Denver to the Florida Glades, buy ing and selling land, timber and stock living anyhow, and sacrificing all per sonal comfort to our mutual advantage. It is rough traveling in the We3t. Twice I had swam the Missouri when every stroke endangered my life; once I had been captured by hostile Indians, and escaped by strategy. Twas over taken by a parine fire and nearly burned to death, when taking up claims in Nebraska; and my periods of weari ness and discouragement were, inde scribable. I grew gaunt, and pale, and hard, making money, while John waxed fat an d merry. I had all the hardships, and I decided I ought to have more than half the profits, taking everything into consideration. John refused this; and it was true, as he said, that this had not been the contract. John Marie," said I, "look at the difference between us. All the trouble you have had in getting this money is taking it from my hand. You have never lost a night's sleep in getting it; you have had full sway in making these farms as profitable as you please, and when you have made a miscalculation in a tenant or a crop, I have never blamed you. You have had a comfortable roof overyonr head, while I languished with yellow fever in the South, and sickened with ague from exposure in the West. Two-thirds of this money is justly mine. You have spent more than I, and you have a right only to one hun dred thousand dollars." "I will have one hundred and fifty" he said, doggedly. "You never shall 1" I answered. I had the books. They were in the office cf a life insurance company, for whom I was agent This business had been privately my own. I had worked it in with other pursuits, and it paid me well. I had dealt in it only for the last year, but, during that time, I purchased for myself, out 'of its profits, a fine library, and had made several valuable presents to a favorite old maid sister, living in the East. These expenses were in the books of the firm four hundred dollars for books, fifty for maps, seventy for a set of furs for Margaret, and forty -for an easy chair for her. I knew I must take these off the books before John saw them, or he would chum that they had been paid for out of the general fund. As I have said, they were in my private room of the insurance company's building, in St. Joseph. When I left my brother's house in Kansas, I started directly for this point; but at Atchison a dispatch met me, requiring me to wait there until I received further directions from the directors of the Phoenix. I saw no actual danger in waiting, and so re mained in the cit$ nearly a week. I received some policies then to be car. ried into the country. As soon as they were delivered to the specified parties, I returned to St. Joseph. I hurried to the office; somehow, I felt as if something was wrong. As I unlocked the inner door, Major Hawley looked up from his newspaper, and said: "By" the way, Marie, your brother came yesterday and got some books from your desk." "Some books!" I said. Aad I felt myself growing pale. "Yes. Ledgers, you know. I knew he was yov partner, and so I let him take these. Nothing wrong, is there, Marie?" w "No," I said, aad went iato my oftVce aad shut ;the door. My first movement was to opea my desk hurriedly. Yes, they were goae. John had. the books. I deaoaaced kirn for a viOamm. , Alter awhile I grew cooler. I was Terr much ssgatised at what he had done. It was aot like him. It rArathathe thoaghtlnteantto cheat ymj km m some way. - - Nor was I incline I to. trust kiaC I did aot believe that he would maka charges against me oa" the books, bat I kaew be" would reckon thatfivehundred aad sixty against me oa tke geaeral a count, nor believe my story that these outlays were never made with his money, or money on which he had a claim. Nothing burns up confidence like tho love of gold. John and I had never before had a word of difficulty or a hard thought, and. now here we were, ready to call each other thieves and liars. In the first place I felt insulted by his suspicion. I meant no injustice; I merely wanted what I considered my right what I thought I had well earned. Then this movement of his, which had the look of outwitting me, 1 mentally anathematized. It was a mean, sly thing to do. Of course he would transfer the ac counts to his own possession, and re turn me the books. Thero were five of them. If he had worked all the night before, he could not have thor oughly examined more than one. This private account of mine was entered on the latest. So the thought came to me, finally, to regain immediate possession of this one, at least. It was not the mere five hundred and odd dollars I cared for the loss of; it was the right which thu gave John to infer that I spent more than I ac knowledged, and, that my personal ex penditures were not so iuferior to his that I could claim more than half the contested profits; and more, it was the disagreeable idea of being defeated. That very night I started for Marle ville. I arrived the next day, I went straight o John's house. He received me alone, his face set in unusual lines, and his eye meeting mine bnrningly. "John Marie," said I, "you have done a mean thing. You have insulted me." "You refer to my taking the books in which our accounts have been kept?" he said, quietly. "I do." "I had a right to see them, if I wished," he said. "But you had no right to come, like a thief in the dark and take them, until I told you that they werp prepared for you to examine." "What preparation did they need?" said he, with a sneer. This was too much. Before I knew what I was doing I.struck him. He was a large man, but he reeled and clutched at the piano to save hiuielf from fallisg. His.oim missed, ami he grasped only the rich, crimson cloth,. and he dragged it with him as he dropped into a seat. He was very pale. I was almost ready to beg his forgiveness, when he looked at me with such a gaze of hatred that I turned, instead, aud walked out of the room, kicking an embroidered stool out of my way as I went. This interview had not been satisfac tory, and I was at' a loss what to do next. An amicable settlement of the matter was now out of the question. I was passing the honse that evening, when I saw the family carriage, con taining my brother, his wife and his four children, drive away from the gate. I decided instantly that they Tteie going to evening meeting in the town two miles distant. Then the house was left alone, comparatively and the books were they there? Could I not enter, find them and take posses sion of them as unceremoniously as John had done? It was growing dark. There was no light in the front of the house, but I saw one gleaming from one of the lower ones at the back. It was the 'family sitting-room. I approached it and looked in. It was a large, comfortable apart ment, with arenpon the hearth; and before the fire sat a young lady, rocking an infant. The child was probably tke lust comer, the little nameless one I hadnot before seen, and which John wrote me a month before was to be called David, if I approved. But who was its nurse? this sweet-faced girl who handled it so dextronsly, feeding it from a silver poringer, aud then laying it over her shoulder and patting its back with her pretty, ringed hand, to make it go to sleep, as she rocked back and forth before the dancing blaze? I could see the gloss on her braided 'hair, and the glittering buckle upon her little slipper. The child seemed uneasy. It wailed, and she rose and walked the floor with it, soothing it in a low, cooing tone of endearment, now and then singing a lullaby. At last it was asleep, with its bit of a face hidden in her neck, and she sat down again before the fire. I stood and watched her; indeed, I had forgotten all else. She had soft brown eyes; I don't know any other word to use; they were ten der and quiet. She looked quite happy in a silent way. . As she swayed back and forth, the lamplight and then the firelight touched her forehead, and cheek, and sweet month, and white neck, with their different tinting the firelight making her rosy and radiant, thelamplight showing the lovely face in a paler guise. I thought, "What if this were my home? r What if that was the darling wife I had longed for all these years, and that my child? What if I might move now, and she would turn her head and listen for my step?'' The thought made me tremble. I retreated to the road, and walked back and forth there, trying to think to some purpose. Uf course l could not enter the house, though it would probably not be difficult to do so. I might get tho books with little difficulty, for that young girl was probably all the person under the roof; bnt somehow I did not want them; the current of my mindhad changed. I walked half a mile down the starlight road and came back. Once more I went to the window. The-child was awake and crying. She was walking the floor with it again. I forgot to be cautious, she was so uncon scious, and quite leaned on the stone sill as I stood. Turning, in her walk, she happened to glance toward the win dow, saw my face as the light fell upon it, and, uttering a. scream of tenor, fell to the floor. I rnsheU to the door; it gave way to my fcaad, and I went in aad raiswlber. She was quite senseless, bat she still clasped the child, who screamed fright folly. I laid it in its eradle, and tried to revive her. She scarcely seemed to breathe before she broke iato hysterical sobbing. i r"Doat y, don't eryl? I'said awk-1 Wardly. "I did not meaa to fright yea Look apt I am David Mark. Yoa mast have heard of me. I meant ao harm in the world. I was. only looking at you, because yoa looked so Pretty:" She did not seem to seethe ludicroas- nessof this explanation. She caught her breath, and looked at me with dilated eyes and the utmost anxiety for some thee. "You.are Uncle John's brother?" "Yea." And then I knew who she was, Aurelia May, a favorite neke of my brother's wife, whom I had never seen. "I was very foolish to be so fright ened," she said, at last; "but you looked "Shall you tell them?" asked L "Uncle John and Aunt Susan? No; and don't you," she said, with a blush. She had taken the poor baby from the cradle, and, ax it soon hushed its cries, we concluded that it was not hurt Before the family returned, Au relia had regained her natural color and composure, and I had reason to be thankful that it was so. John started when he saw me, and looked bewildered when I arose and of fered him my hand; but he took it, and bade me sit down again, cordially. Per haps some good word which he had heard in the house of God had softened him ; certaiuly the pure face of that girl had changed my heart. We sat to gether, a pleasant party, that evening, and the next day John and I entered into a calm discussion of our business. Ho was finally willing and even anxious to give me two-thirds of the money, bnt I would not accept it. uSo, no, John," said I, "wo will di vide evenly, and, if you want to do any thing nioro for me, just try to ir.ako Aurelia think that I'm not a monster." "Aurelia?"' repeated John. "Why, she don't know that there has been a word of trouble, and doesn't dream x of such a thing. If you want her go iu and win ; the coast is clear, and may God bless you!" I was not much used to women, but she liked me, and finally I got her. It frightened me to think how wretched I should have been, if I hadn't. I have only to add that she is just as good as I thought she was when I first saw her through the window; and, if God "pros pers us, I may, before auother year, see Jier rocking a baby that is mine, the firelight and the lamplight again on her sweet face. TIIK FLYIXO SOUIItREL. Among the small animals which are quite a rare sight to city folks, and even dwellers in the towns, is the cunning little flying squirrel. This is really a wonderful creature, and seems to be a compromise between a bird and an animal. It is about five inches long as to its body, which is black and gray and white beneath, and carries a bushy tail quite five inches in length, having a peculiar construction which assists it in its flight from tree to tree, but the main apparatus used in flying or in reality j leaping, is a loose membrane connected to the front and hind legs on each side, which the squirrel has the power to expand at will, thus increasing the' surface presented against the air. When it arrives within six or eight feet of its intended landing place, it changes its position so as to light upon its feet against the tree, while the membranes become greatly reduced and are not at all in the way. They live in decayed trees, where, if not disturbed, they become quite num erous. They are difficult to catch, and bite viciously when captured, but they are easily domesticated and make admi rable pets, and soon become an unfail ing source of amusement to the chil dren. They live upon nuts, acorns, in sects, and are said to eat small birds. Every evening, a family of three or four of these interesting, surviving den izens of our suburban woods, who make their home in a giant oak, sail across the street, one after the other, to a tree at the residence of the writer, where they scamper about the limbs searching for their favorite food. It seem's from their actions that they are nocturnal in their habits, and pass the day snugly curled up in their home in the old oak, which probably accounts for their sur vival long after the dainty gray and fox squirrels have disappeared. TUB COURT ASSERTS ITSELF. One day when the late Chief-Justice Sheply was sitting on the Supreme Bench of Maine a question of law came up in a case in which a pompous mem ber of the bar acted as counsel. The Jndge remarked that he should rule upon it such and such a way. "But," said the attorney, in a manner calcu lated to impress the Court, "I should like to argue that question before it is decided." "I shall rule so and so," was the Judges reply. "Well," said Mr. Pompous, drawing himself up, "if that is the case I shall submit," with much emphasis on the "I." "The Court ex pects you to submit, sir," replied the Chief-Justice sternly, and went on with the business as if the pompous lawyer did not exist. In relating this story the Eastern State is reminded of an inci dent in the judicial career of "Bluff Old Ben Wade." Once when trying a case his rulings made the Prosecuting At torney snarl out: "I have always un derstood that it was the province of the jury to decide the facts; the Court has nothing to do with them." "Gentle men," replied the unmoved Judge, Kthe attorney of the State is correct; it is your province to decide the facts. The Court has nothing directly to do with them; if it had it would not take long." The retort prompted the jury to return a verdict ef acquittal after a few minutes' consideration. Lewiston (Me.)

The "Just medium" between them and an ineffectual diuretic is the Bitters, which is also a specific for malarial complaints, dys pepsia, constipation and rheumatism. Arts Laaas Ia the Uatted States. Mai. Powell, of the geological surrey. says there are I,0U0,000,UU0 acres of arid land in the United States needing irriga tion, bnt when ungated, fertile and cer tain to produce good, crops. Of the bil lion acres abont 0,0:0,000 acres ore now under cultivation by irrigation, and abont 120,000,000 altogether can be ren dered arable by that method. Mr. Powell intimates that the construction of reser voirs, canals and other works necessary will cost $10 an acre. Assuming that 100, 000,000 acres are to be redeemed in this way, the cost will aggregate $1,000,000,- 000. The work, he thinks, onght not to bo done by the government, but by large private corporations, which may acquire Ianre bodies of said lands and make a profitable business of bringing them under cultivation.

The superstitious belief that human beings should sleep with their. heads to the north is now believed to be based upon a scientific principle. The French Academy of sciences has made experiments upon the body of a guillotined man which go to prove that each human body is in itself an electric battery, one electrode being repre sented by the head and the other by the feet. The body of the subject upon which experiments were made was taken immedi ately after death and placed upon a pivot free to move in any direction. After Borne vacilation the head turned toward the north, the pivot board remaining station ary. One of the professors turned it half way around, but it soon regained a posi tion with the headpiece to the north, and the same results were repeatedly obtained until organic movement ceased. Twe Heastealaas Each $3,500 Ahead, While making his usual rounds yesterday a I'ost representative happened in nam Raphael's cigar store. As thu two had not met in. some time the conversation at last driltcd to Sam's good fortune in holding one-twentieth of ticket No. 25.369. which drew the $50,000 prize in the Louisiana State Lottery. Naturally, of course. Sam seemed much pleased at having held tho winning number, but in bis conversation und from outward appearance there was nothing to indicate any change in his usual business routine, but on tho contrary he assured the Pout man that he would contimio his busi dess on the same scale and devote his per sonal attention to his trade as formerly. In reply to the question as to whether he had any troublo in getting the money from the lottery company he said that Uncle Joe Baldwin, who held another twentieth of the samo ticket, and he both sent their tickets through the Wells Fargo Express company and promptly received the money through the samo company. The Post man then said good-day and started in seateh of Uncle Joe Baldwin, but failed to find him. Houston, Tex.. Post. Nov. 1. WrLliiAM K.
