SHORTY LOCH1SVAR.
/ { . Kelelnun In the Anjimnut.
I think it may bo stntcd , without fear
of successful contradiction , that nt no
ponod of a man's existence does Cupid's
chirt strike so deeply and cause so much
alcoplobsnoss as at the ago of ono score ,
or thereabout. I have known quito a
number of younp men of ttbout that ago
to bo deeply , passionately , desperately
In love , and ultimately to recover and
go through similar but leaa agonizinp
experiences Bovorn.1 times thereafter.
But , as I said , they never , in a single in
stance , suffered half so much from sub
sequent attacks as from that Jirat expo-
rionc Not UmUthoy love loss , but
their capacity for sulToring has dimin
ished which is something to bo thank
ful for , for a man who could sulTor at
each recurrence of the complaint as
much as he did at the IIrat would die of
the second or third rolapso.
The victim of this llrst attacl : is n
pitiable creature , particularly when
thoronro "obstacles , " which is usually
the caso.
I always feel very sorry for a chap in
this tort of a pickle , nnd I felt partic
ularly sorry for poor Shorty Floming. I
know 1 ought not to encourage him , but
ho was such a peed little beggar , and so
iniioh in earnest , that [ would have do
lled n far moro severe man than his
brother .Tacit for his saltu. Uobidos ,
Shorty was not ono of the ohaps who got
over anything easily , and 1 know full uro
would go hard with him. Moreover ,
Jack was not the only "obstacle. " Sum
Parker , Shorty's Nettie's papa , alsoob-
Ibclod. Ho was not u stern , unronsona-
bio parent , by any means , but his ob
jections , even if presented goodtmturod-
ly , were none the less formidable. Par-
hop was a shrewd Maine Yankee , with a
total disbelief , in the ability of woman-
hind to use reason , and a record nf some
sixty years of devotion to an earnest
hustle for the fascinating but oluslvo
American dollar. Nottio WHS the only
daughter and the youngest child in a
family of seven , and the old man , closo-
listed us ho was , hail spared no expense
in educating her liberally. It was only
natural , therefore , for him to object , es
pecially us Nottio was barely eighteen ,
mid lias only boon out of school a few
months.
Ifo called on Jack ono uftornoon , not
casuallv , us ho usually callod.on his way
to or from town , but with a direct pur
pose. Jack was under the xreathor , and
lay on the sofa , I was reading to him
wnou Parker walked in.
"Howdy , Flomln' , laid up , air yo ?
Howdy , Vabor ; purty warm , ain't It ?
Thanks , I will eot a epolL " And ho sat
down on the edge of u chair and began
tracing1 iiguros on the floor with his big
spur. Ho eoeiuod norToua.Jind 1 rose to
leave the room , but ho waved his hand
nnd slid ; "Sot down , Fabor. Sot still.
Guess I ain't got nothln' t' bay but v/hat
vo mout ex. well hoar , "
" Hora the old man stiffened up In his
sent and stated the object of his mission ,
in n good nattircd , but thoroughly de
cided way , closing with :
"Naow , Flomln' . 1 nin't no 'bjection to
th' Icotlo follor not ono tnito ; ho's a tip
top good boy an' all that. But Hain't
in reason th't I'm goin' t' spcua tnoro'a
thrco thousnn' dollars cddlcatln' a
young tin' , an' then lot 'or go an' marry
'nother young 'un 'thout ary rod. An1
that' ? what it'll como tow , fust thing wo
know. "
No\y , Parker's remarks were in the
nature of a revelation to us. Of coin-so
wo know Shorty had put in a good many
ovonlnirs at the Parker ranch , but wo
had never guessed that his visits there
had any gignillcanco. A courtship , too ,
with six big brothers lonllng around is
difficult matter. It is oasv enough to
fall just full In love with a girl if
there is no ono to hinder. But with six
young men , with whom ono is on sooil
loniiH , sitting around nud occupying n
lurgo portion of one's attention , it is a
matter of getting in love , which , accom
plished , i rather moro serious than amore
moro fall into the same.
Fleming sat up and ran his fingers
through his hair gravely. Then : "I
quite agree with you , Mr. Parkor. I
don't ' know what to say lo Percy , but I
will try it HUlo strategy nnd see if ho
cnn bo kept at homo more. If that
won't do , I c.ui tall : to him. "
And here bognn my connection with
Shorty's love all'air. That evening I
was writing busily when some one
opened the door to my don and walked
in. It was Shorty , lie sat down quietly
and took up a paper , which ho looked at
for several minutes , while I scratched
away at my work. Then ho throw the
nanor down suddenly and turned to mo
with : "Fabor , what was old Parker
hero for today ? "
I tried to dlssomblo , but Shorty is no
body's fool , and interrupted : "O , roll"
said ho ; "I reckon you think I'm a suck
er. Now honestly' , what was ho here
for ? "
Finally , I told him about the conver
sation between his brother and Parkor.
lie was sllont for several minutes. I
could see his face twitch , Then ho
turned his face toward mo and satdslow-
ly : "Faber , I know I'm young and till
that , but I know my own tntiid. Jack's
a good brother and feels in duty bound
to take care of mo , out I guess I can
'tond to that myself. I I've made up
mp nilnd to marry that girl , if sho'll
have mo , nnd till the .Tacks and Sam
Parkers in the world can't stop me. "
And Mr. Porcival Fleming sot his
mouth and walico-1 out. Uo called at
Parkei's the next morning despite
Jack's "strategy. "
There was another caller nt Parker's
that evening , in the person ot Morris
Cottrell , a wealthy rancher from up Iho
"Five-Mile. " Sfiorty , when ho got
homo , mentioned this fact to 1110 , with
some feeling in his tones. Cottrell was
no old duller. He was a man of 30 , well-
read , and a goiiMeinun , and the prospect
of having him for u rival would have
sent despair to the heart of any penni
less young man less determined than
Shorty Floming.
For two _ or three months Shorty con
tinued his calls at Parker's , growing
moro and moro gloomy and savage as
the days went by , for old Sam Parker
was something of a strategist , and man
aged to keep the poor lad from getting
a single private interview with Nctlio ,
thereby giving Cotlrell a clear Hold ,
which was evidently satisfactory to the
latter , although ho did not seem to
iiiuko much progress.
One evening Shorty came to my room
in a state of mind. Hq had seen Sam
Parker that day gund the latter had
told him , as gently as possible , some
gulling truths about his ago and his
penniless condition , concluding with the
cheerful information that ho "reckoned
that Not hod bout d'cidcd to take up
with Cottrell , anyhcow. "
Of course Shorty was despondent , but
ho was none the less determined.
"Fabor , I'm going to sno her tomorrow
afternoon and and ask her. "
The time and hour favored Shorty ;
but I hardly think Nottio know her own
mind. The boy who came riding slowly
home through the shadows next ovo-
wes a very much downcast boy , indeed.
Ho told mo all about it , later ; how
Nottio hud waveredand finally tola him
that she could give no answer. She
cured a great deal for him , she sairl , but
she was not sure she cared enough for
him. Besides , her father objected to
him , and she could never cross "her
father's wishes , when ho had done so
much for her.
Sum Parker must have hoard of this
interview , and made up his mind to do
something. Although ho was usually
so good-natured , ho was as determined
as a bull dog , and I thing ho used some
inlluenco in deciding matters , for , two
weeks later , ho "dropped in" to toll
Jack that Nottio nnd Cottrell would bo'
married ou Thanksgiving day , two
months lator.
Shorty must have seen the news in my
face , for. nftor supper , ho drew mo aside
and naked what I k'novv. I hated to toll
him , but did so- the best way I could.
The poor lad stood still as stone for
aovoral seconds. Thenwith a shudder
ing sob , ho turned away. In the morn
ing ho was gone , with his horse and
clothes , leaving no word.
Jack and Joe , the other brother , were
much worried , but , as Jack now for the
lirst limo acknowledged , "tho boy could
take of himself. "
Jack and I talked it over during the
day , and ho expressed a great deal of regret -
grot , thinking , however , that Nottio
had decided for herself , and that Shorty
had no ono to blame for his failure. "It
it hud boon different , " ho wont on , "and
Percy had porsovoted and won , I would
have 'given in , and I think Parker
would too , for next year Percy will
como into about Slfi.OUO. You see , I'vo
never told him of it , because I wanted
him to grow up on his merits
and bo ' solf-reliilnt. I think
it has boon for the bost. .loo never
know , until ho was of ago. that ho had
anything , and wo didn't toll Percy of It
then , because ho was only soventoon.
.loo put his money into the ranch here
and kept quiet about it , "
Ho sat silent for a minute , then con
tinued : * 'Of course , thisls between our
selves. But do you know , I wish the
boy hud won. Ho's a gooa deal of a
man , and , now I como to think of it , the
affair has hit him hard. They could
have waited a couple of years , you
know. " And Jack walked off slowly ,
taking long whiffs at his pipe.
Several weeks passed during which
I saw Nottio Parker several times. She
soomeddiffoi'cnt. Her laugh was not
the jolly laugh I had boon accustomed
to hour , and she bcoinod pensive at
times. Was -it her approaching wed
ding , or Shorty ? 1 hoped it was
Shorty. But , souiohow , when people
pine they sooni to lese color and got
thin , and Nottio Parker did neither.
And still no word from Shorty , and tho.
day for the wedding only iv week awiiy.
It was Wednesday of Thanksgiving
week , and there had boon great prepa
rations at Parkor's. The people for
miles around hud boon invited to the
woadlng , which old Sam " 'lowed"
would bo "th1 bang-uppoat thing tnoy
ever hod In th' kontry. " I rode into
town to buy , 011 behalf of Jack und my
self , something to present to the brldo-
elect. In the postoflleo , eonio one tapped
mo on the shoulder. I turned. It was
Shorty .Fleming Shorty , with a hand-
eoino mustache , und smiling- quite hap
pily."How
"How long before you'ro going out ? "
ho asked.
"Itlght IMW. "
"Bullyl Faber , go and borrow a
horse until tomorrow toll 'em yoursjs
Inmo , nnd you'll have to lend him. Iso-
bo.ly hns recognized mo bach of this
.overcoat collar and the hirsute adorn
ment , and I don't want 'cm lo. "I'll
walk out and head up the road. Hurry
up with the horses. "
In about twenty minutes I was follow
ing him , riding a horse I had borrowed
from my frlona the doctor , and leading
my own. 1 soon caught up with Shorty ,
and wo hurried on. Shorty showed mo
n loiter signed "Nottio , " and proceeded
to unfold a plan ho had in mind , which ,
for the finality of pure "norvo , ' I had
never heard surpassed ,
There was nobody at the houeo but
Manuel , the cook , and Shorty soon hnd
ttim sworn to silence , after which ho
proceeded lo camp in the cold little up
stairs store room off my don , whore no
body could Hnd him. .lack was not to
know of his presence , ho said , "bcoauso
Jack is HO thundering honest nnd
persnickety , and would squall or spoil
the job. "
i- * * *
The half-hundred guests at Parker's
Thad been enjoying hanksglvlng day to
the full. All of Airs. Parker's good
things hnd been stowed away \yhoro
they would do Iho most gooll. The
minister from town was gottlng roudy
for the ceremony , and the gueets wore
bustling about , amid some ronfusion ,
trying to Hnd the best points for
obsorvation. Noltto Parker , palo for
once , stood near the front dopr , pulling
her lingers nervously , waiting , suppos
edly , for hov father.
Some ono knocked at the door. Nottio
pulled it open , gave n little cry , grabbed
a man's hat from the back of a chair and
an overcoat from n peg near by , and
rushed out , slamming the door. Every
body who saw the performance stood
still , dazed. Then , as wo hoard horses'
hoofs clattering up the roail , there was
a rush for the outside. U ] ) thu road ,
disappearing fast , were two horses ,
whoso riders were evidently in a hurry.
There was another rush this tlmo for
Iho stables led by old Sam Parkor.
But , somehow , the doors would not
open. They had bucn nailed up , very
securely , by a person who was at that
moment making hypocritical efforts to
got one of thorn open.
' \7hon they finally succeeded in mount
ing two or three men for pursuit , the
runaways had three or four tulles start.
At this juncture , Cottrell , as cool as if
ho had never thought of attending his
own wedding , came up and spoke quietly
to old man Parker , who was so da/.ed
that ho had notopcncd his mouth so far.
The old man started. "By gerry ,
Morris , mobbo that's c'rect. No use
yowlin' over spilt milk. Como on bovn. "
And they lode off. but not very rapidly.
"I told the old gentleman , ' ' remarked
Cottrell to mo , as wo turned toward the
house , "that it was uouso trying to head
them off. They'll bo married inside of
an hour. " Then , in a tone that enter
tained no trace of bitterness , lin con
tinued :
"It is far bettor to have happened now
than than later. And as il is I think
maybe there will bo only ono unhappy
person , instead of three. " That was
Morris Cottrell philosopher and man.
Mr. and Mrs. F'crcival Fleming were
mot at the justice's ofllco by old Sam
Parker , who remarked : "Wa-al , I
swow ! Yow air a nervy boy ! Ain't yo
both ashamed on't'i1"
No , they were not ; and , after Nottio
had had a good cry in her father's arms ,
the runaways were escorted back to the
Parker ranch to receive the congratula
tions of their friends , foremost among
whom was Morris Cottroll.

WASIIIXOTON- . O. , March 2.1. ] Spoclal
Telesram to THK UBK. ] "If the modus
vlvondl li not renewed the president will not
bo responsible for the consequences. "
This is tbo conclusion ot President Harri
son's rejoinder to tbo reply received from
Lord Salisbury. It was this that caused the
grave senators Iu executive session this
afternoon to mark their approval by tbo most
vigorous evidences they would give. Tboy
bcllovo It Is the only kind of talk which
meets tbo situation , and this could hardly uo
moro serious.
The senate has boon ready for the signs of
n vigorous policy on iho part of tbo adminis
tration , but tbo positlvo tone In which the
Information sent to it by tbo president today
was couched caused sensation. The presi
dent transmitted to Iho senate Lord Salis
bury's note of March S , nnd In doing so in
formed the sonnto that ho had sent an answer
which will not bo blcmsnnt reading for the
British premier.
Salisbury's reply la qulto as unsatisfactory
nnd ovnsivo ni hnsi been declared. Thorn U
nothing In it which shows n willingness to
protect the seal. The president's nolo Is
therefore , to the effect that If Great Brllaln ,
will not consent to n renewal of the modus
vlvondl. the United Stains will endeavor to
enforce thu protection of lliu seal on Us own
ixcuouuU
Diplomatic but Clear.
Salisbury's note hns in it several counter
proposition1 ! , all tending to evade tbo main
point , which is tbo renewal of the modus
Vivendi. The president in his reply , which
was delivered to Sir Jullnu Pauaoofoto last
night , protests against too British premier's
failure to meet the situation squarely. Ho
declares that tbu United States can accept
nothing loss than a renewal of the modus
vlvondl , without regard to Irrelevant
condltltions. Ho states in diplomatic
language , but with clearness , that If ISrcat
Britain Is uot ready to co-operate in protect
ing Iho seals pending arbllrnllon the United
Stntci will do so , and will exhaust every
available resource. Ho delicately points ou
tliat Great Britain will bo responsible for
whatever complications may arise. Tlioro is
nothing of bluster. It is merely a formal
announcement to the British premier of the
administration's intentions to uphold Ameri
can rights.
The rejoinder of the president is not an ul
timatum nnd dees not end diplomatic corre
spondence , because tbcro is no occasion for
this. TUB Bur. is able to state tbo full sub
stance ot Lord Salisbury's i-only and of the
president's rejoinder.
Sulisliury'.s HviisU'n Answer.
Lord Salisbury in specific terms declines
to renew tbo moaus Vivendi on the grounds
heretofore set forth by him , that the seal Is
in no danger of extinction , because the Brit
ish exports say so. Ho follows this up with
the additional objection that If it were
agreed this seiisou , 13 real Britain would
probably have to renew It for u number of
seasons , which sue coulu not do in
justice to her subjects engaged In sealing.
Tbo reason for this , according to Lord Salis
bury , woulJ bo tbo impossibility of potting a
decision from the , : rbitrato for several
ycar . Ho rccilos some of iho dlfllculties in
the way of Boring sea arbitration , nnd as nn
illustration of tbo slowness with which arbi
tration proceeds , cites the adjudication of
the trouble between Great Britain nnd Portugal
tugal , which ho says has been going on four
yeais.
Comini ; back to his refusal to ranew the
modus Vivendi , Lord Salisbury makes a novel
suggestion. It U that Iho United Stales ex
act a baud from tbo sealers before they start
out and In return oblial.o ; itself to indemnify
them If the arbitrators find against il. ilu
does not offer for Great Britain to give Iho
bond , but suggests It ns a matter to bo ar
ranged between the United States and the
sealers.
No Onlliljllne About Tills.
President Harrison In his rejoinder ox-
pros30 < i regret itr.it Lord Salisbury Is still
depending on tha English exports lo justify
his refusal to renew the modus vlvondl
pending arbitration , xvbeu It Is the arbitra
tion tribunal that must pass on thu
conditions of seal life nnd give the proper
weight , to the findings of experts on bolh
sides. Ho makes known his surprise that
tbo British premier should bo so fearful of
delay in the arbitration , and suggest thatja
prompt renewal of the modus vivondi would
bo ono guaranteeing early action.
But ho shows that tbo wbolu
subject can bo arbitrated in a reasonable
time. The president displays a familiarity
with Iho Porluguesa cnso cited by Lord
Salisbury , and bu politely calls the premier's
attention to tbo ( act that the arbitration has
been going on not four years , but ono year
only. Ho therefore noes not tulnk it a case
In point.
Tbo president confesses bis surprise nt
Salisbury's suggestion of the United Stales
I'Mictlng a bond from thu Canadian sealers.
He pertinently inquire * by what means It Is
to bo dono. Some spice Is CIVMII up lo ; exposing -
posing Iho utterly ridiculous nature of this
proposition.
It is after Humming up the rase and show
ing the uvaslva character of all Lord Sulli-
bury's propositions that tbo president con
cludes with tbo statement that If tbo modus
Vivendi is not toir.ovcd the United States
will not bu responsible for the consequences ,
hdmtoriVIII Kn | > | > rt llhn.
The president's muRsogo was sent In for
the information of the foreign relations com
mittee. It did not call for any action by thu
sernto , but the documents were read In order
that tbo senators might understand ju t wlin
tbo developments ura. Tuu sonatar * are
fully satisfied that Salisbury U not acting In
aood faith , nnd they believe that any luck of
llrmnoss on the part of the United Ktaton
now would ba n practical abandonment nf
the American claims. Tno documents wuro
referred to the foreign relations committee.
it is known Hint Senator Sherman hns
drawn up u resolution for the rnlillcatio ! ! of
the trauty , and tint the foreign relations
committee will probably report it favorably ,
It will bo accompanied by a condition for the
