DAVID MARIE'S STORY.
BY ESTHER SEBLE BENMETH.
. I never quarreled with my brother
John until we came to settle up busi
nessinl865. 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

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

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.
Tis sad to see a woman growing old before her

And longs for death to bring her release from

It these poor, discouraged women who
suffer from diseases peculiar to women could
only know that health could be regained by
tho use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip

themselves of hV Thev ouzht to know it.
and try it Every woman who is still healthy
ought to do told aoout tne wonionui virtue
in this medicine, and understand that it is
a safeguard against the terrible diseases
common to her sex. It is guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or money paid for it will

With Head te the Nerth.
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.

somehow been classed by the public as the
head of the Yanderbilt family, though his
brother is the more important financial
figure, looks almost like a boy. He moves
about town briskly and amiably, and his

He is of medium height, ruddy-cheeked,
bright-eyed, and has an endless fund of
