A LITTLE HEATHEN. ; BY MONTGOMERY X. FOLSOSL Jack was * heathen. Oh, the little top, how tough he was! I was a model boy. I was, for a fact, y«fu may believe it or not; I used to hold down my head when grace was being said; I knew the Ten Commandments.ond the Lord’s Prayer by heart, and I was a child of many virtues. Jack was as mean as the old scratch. He would cut bis eye around at me and try to make me laugh while the blessing was being asked; he would *rtick pins in the little boys as they knelt at prayers; he would rob birds’ nests, and when remonstrated with would say: ’’Why, my gracious, let the old fool bird go lay some more aiggs, she’s got the whole summer and ’taln’t much trouble to lav a few little old aiggs like them.” We used to read: tales in our reading books about bow bad boys'came to bad ends, and Jack would laugh at them. “Shucks!” he would say. “them old book men can’t fool me. What makes gran’ma kill chickens on Sunday, if it’s a sin to go in wash in’? I notice one thing: oF brother Kicklighter al’us eats mighty hearty, and if it wus a sin to kill ’em it'd be a sin to eat ’em. They can’t scare nobody.” Ah. the dear little.old freckled face! Worlds would I give to have it come between me and the suix again ere I reach the vale of shadows. He would whip the stuffing out of a boy for my sake. I remember once a fellow called me “wormy.” We were coming home from Sunday-echool, and 1 had resolved not to resent any insult— a very convenient way of resolving, bv the way—and the big bdy would have gone unpunished but for Jack. What did lie ds? He lit onto that fellow, and he pelted him in the burr of the ear and got him down and such a thrashing that .boy never toted before. That was Jack’s style. No foolishness about him. He was of that particular type of ugliness that denotes cussedness and original sin. I used to pray for Jack when the preacher would tell us to pray for all those whom we thought needed our prayers. Jack was cutting a jagged “J” on the back of the seat while 1 was praying for his conversion. Ah, the days, the golden day*, when the summers seemed so long. I wonder if the summers of paradise will not possess, that* same sweet, delicious lingering when the pathos and the passion of mortal life arc past? Sometimes I dream of Jack, now. The other night, 1 don't know what got into me, but I dreamed that we were rambling along the banks of one of those winding southern rivers, whose languid waters were murmuring, whispering. lisping among the reeds • ami rushes.

J here was a Hash on shining sand around the bend. and v.4 came t*> a place where there was a thioket of cypress saplings. I saw or.e that would make the finest sort of a fishing ]>ole, arid Jack went to cut it for ine. It grew right on the bank of a slough of black water, on whose’ sheeny bosom the tupeio gum berries were afloat. 1 was timid—good boys are not always brave boys—and Jack went to cut the pole for me. I saw him open the little old rusty barlow knife, and he reached far over the treacherous bank. lie had cut it most in two, when there was a crash. “Splash!” The spray flew upward in a shower and blinded mv eyes, and when 1 opened them—Jack was gone! 1 was sitting up in lied gasping, struggling, choking, in my efforts to call help. Such dreams are our lives made up. Sometimes as I sit gazing up at the summer heavens 1 am startled by the illusion that 1 sec that boy's face through a rift in the clouds] Jack was a bad boy. Popper Joe ust l to ^.::ke h.s head and mutter* M tell you. dat boy's sho’ ter come ter seme bad end.” Tiieu he. would point to ine and remark: “Hut dar's a chile w 'at’ll be somebody. Dat’s er good chile, do Lawd knows ho> is, an’ folk’ll make much er him w'en he gits ter be a growed up man.” I was so pitifully pious in those clays. The fact is. 1 think 1 v^as no* welt The chariot w-heels of .tint? rolled noiselessly on. and poor old blind Fate sat in the* doorway of the future, with her palsied fingers untangling the skein of destiny, her withered lip* all the while crooning those! weird ditties whose echoes now and then tnrill our souls with the warning of prophecy. Jack was as tough as a lightwood knot, and nobody ever thought about him getting sick. He was too full of devilment to stay in bed, but they were very careful about me. One winter we had an awful spell of weather and the stock suffered severely, for we had no shelter for them in the country in the days when I was a boy. Jack bad a favorite cow] that had a little calf, and one cold driiezly afternoon the cow- and calf failed to couie home. Jack went in search of them, and it was late when he came back. He had brought the little calf in his arm* a good portion of the way. and he,dnw*? the cow into the lot and gave her a big basket of shucks and nubbins, and put the little, weakly calf in a warm place. It was dark when he came in. cold end tired, but he was as joyous and" light-hearted as ever. He went over the rigmarole about— “Amo daree my, romp stomp dominicker, shuck back, penniwinkle, instep nipcat, sing song kitty kin you kimee. 0.” and he cot a shuffle and turned a bandspring as he came through the passage. I He fore we went to bed we sat down before the fire and took the wet rags off his toes and tied them up with some dry ones, jokingly calling his big toe “big Ike." and the little toe "little Ike " as he fixed them.

During the night he woke me up teli Lag me he was bo hot and that he ached all over. I told him to go to sleep and not turn over and kick so much. Next morning he said he felt too bad to get up, and asked me to see about his cowand especially the calf. 1 grumbled a good deal, and went and told grandma that Jack wae too lazy to get up. She went to see about him and she said he had a fever. 1 wentout and attended to the cow, expecting to find him up when I returned, but he was still tossing about in bed, and he began to talk foolish. I scolded him about it and told grandma. She looked very grave w hen she went in and felt of his face, and she went and told one of the boys to go after the doctor. Then I began to get uneasy. The place seemed so lonely and I never missed anyone so much in my life. The cat dozed on the hearth in peace i and the house was so quiet and still. The old doctor drove up to the gate in his sulky and took out his little leather saddle-bags and walked into the room j where Jack was.1 I watched him anxiously and when he took grandma aside and talked low ! to hex I just caught the word “pneuj rooma.” It was unfamiliar to me, and I felt a premonition of coming sorrow. All day long I hung about the door, and late in the evening they told me j that' I would have to sleep in another room. I went in to see Jack, and he was tossing about, muttering something about his cow. *‘I fed her, Jack, and I threw down some straw for her to sleep on,” I said He looked at me. but he did not seem to understand. H is eyes were so bright and hie cheeks were so red that I didn’t know what to make of it. Tha^ night I could not go. to sleep and kept staring at the ceiling, thinking, thinking, thinking. At last I got up softly and stole into his room. The candle was burning low and grandma and grandpa were sitting by the fire. Jack was lying still, with his eyes Half open and he was breathing hard. “Is he any better?” I asked, with a great lump in my throat “No, my son, he is mighty 6ick. Go back to bed now.” I went back to my room and I got down on my knees. I never will forget that night. I prayed; prayed as l never prayed before, as I have never prayed since. The' words were broken with sobs. , Oh, the anguish of those dark hours! I would pray awhile and then I would stop and wonder if the good Lord heart! me. Perhaps He was too busy at the time, and I would ask Him again in my childish simplicity, hoping that I might attract His attention.’ A way long towards day I fell asleep and the sun was shining when I awoke, shining in the cloudless heavens, and the day was real mild. I went into the room where the sick boy lay, and I saw that there wajs j change. His face was pale and his eye - sunken, and his breath came in gasps. I gulped down a sob as I looked at that shaggy head, and thought how ofteri 3 had seen it bobbing about the house Such a day as this we would be out about the lot. and you could hear his whistle as merry as a mocking bird in Mav.

And now— The candlestick wifh the half-burned candle, three medicine bottles on the mantel; the cup and the spoon and all the sad reminders of sickness and suffering. Aunt Ailsie walking softly about the room, keeping watch while the old folks got a little sleep. “Is he any better?” *‘Xo chile, he ain’t no better, homey Pe doctah say ef dev ain’ some change po* little Jack won’t bo heah long.” j I couldn’t bear it. The good old mammy came ami put her withered arms around me and kissed me and told me cot to cry. I went out to the lot J and Popper Joe was giving the cow some nubbins, and the calf was skijs ping clumsily around. The sight of \ them set me to crying again. ur.d I , turned away. Ah, the dismal day! Better the clouds and the dreary rain with Jack well, than floods of sutishine and he so sick. Late in the aft - j ernoon grandma called me. “Come in here, son. Jack wants to see you.” I went into the room. The lingering ■ rays of the wintry sun struggled in j through the windows am! fell on tUfe I snowy counterpane. His face w as ashen pale, amd his eyes ! were no longer restless, lie looked at ! me and a faint smite played^about the [ pinched features. It was like the dy- | ing light of the wintry day. I He motioned me to come closer, and I found that his voice was so weak that he could but speak in whispers. The old doctor sat with his hand on the little wrist, and the family were gathered around the bed. Then the fountains of my heart were broken up and 1 gave way to my grief. *‘I want you to have all my things, Good-by.” he whispered, and then they took me aw ay. As I lay sobbing and moaning in my room, l heard a cry from Aunt Ailsie: “Oh. God bless my po’ chile. Dry’s one mo’ angel done gone to glory!” Now, 1 have told you the story. J, cannot, even unto this day. dwell further on the sad theme. But it is a mystery to me why people should keep j on harping about good boys and bad boys when-1 know just as well as I am sitting here that my boy comrade has gone to a better world than this! And look at me.: I was a model boy, and have lived to make more mistakes, suffer for more sins, and weep over more wrecked hopes than I can ever tell. •' Dear old playmate, here is a tear to your memory, to the memory of a bad boy whose wantonness was mistaken for wickedness. Had you lived who knows but that your strength might have walled in my weakness, and kept these erring feet from straying,— > Southern Farmer.

THE TEXAS CYCLONE. Fmrther Vuticiiten From the Seen* «l tlM UMth-Owltiit Storm—The Latest Reporta the Went Kewe—About Two Hundred Liven Mow Said to be Lost While the List of the Injured Grows— Storms la Othe r States. Shkrmam, Tex., May 17.—The hor-ror-stricken people of Grayson and Denton counties have been engaged for the last two days in the gruesome work of recovc ring and counting the dead victim* of Friday's cyclone and alleviating the sufferings, of the injured. The story of the terrible disaster to life and property can not yet be fully told. Two hundred corpses, by a conservative estimate from all points stricken by the fnry of the elements, may cover the fatalities. Another hundred men women and children have already been reported seriouly injured and two score'of the sufferers are not expected to live. The Wounded in the neighborhood o:f Sherman are scattered over territory ten miles in length, being cared for by friends and strangers, which renders the task of gathering names slow and difficult in the midst of the accompanying flood and debris. A million dol lars will not cover the property loss. The storm of wind, rain, thunder and lightning began near Justin, in [ the southeast corner of Den ton county, and passed easterly and north through Grayson county until the Red river, on the Indian territory border, was j reached, when it scattered and ceased j its deadly work. The town of Joel, Chickasaw nation, was the most north- I erly point stricken. The cyclone traveled 100 miles, but its width was con- j fined to 150 yards. The special and regular trains which j came into the gloom-shrouded city j yesterday were filled with volunteer { physicians and nurses, anxious rela- j tives and friends of the victims. Searching parties were sent; out ! along the path of the grim readier tc j gather the harvest of bodies from the j flooded wreckage and relieve the suf- ' ferings of those injured who had not * been found during the night. The common sorrow obliterated the ! line which divides the negro from the i white. Followers of the Red Cross on the field of carnage could not have i done more than white men and women ; did yesterday and Saturday night for the dying and suffering survivors of j the black race, who comprised the j majority of the victims^ The banks of Post Oak creek, which | the cyclone made a cemetery of, were lined all day wtth hundreds of anxious ! and curious visitors, jwatebing with different feelings the Search for more j bodies among the mud and watersoaked debris. j Reports came in from points down the creek that the loss of life outside the city limits had b^en worse than feared. At the suspension bridge dead and injured lay, in every direction and the few houses that bad escaped the wind scythe were crowded with living victims. At the llouston-street bridge corpses and injured people formed a heartrending spectacle. All available wagons were pressed into service by the volunteer brigade to remove the dead to the morgue and the living to the temporary hospitals. Relatives and friends of those who are no more gave way to pitiful grief at j the scene cf recovery and at the bos- i pitals, adding to the horror of the ] hour. j

Dknisox, Tex., May 17. — Reports iontinue to arrive here relative to ther storm east of Denison and confirm the story of loss of property along the Red River belt which will foot up thousands of dollars. The cyclone passed northeast from Sherman to a point six miles east of Denison, where it separated, part following the course of Choctaw creek and crossing Red river, where its force was spent. The main fork of the tornado continued due north some distance above the earth, but descended at Carpenter's Bluff, eight- miles east of here, tearing every- j thing frOm its path. Houses and barns | were scattered over th^ prairies, men, : women and''children blown in every ! direction, many so badly injured that : fatalities may result. Stock was killed and the dead bodies carried for hundreds of yards in mid air. On Renold's prairie. 112 miles northwest from here, seven houses were blown down. Several Occupants wen »eriously hurt. Five Members of One family Killed. j Bkxtoos, Ky,, May IS.—A cyclone! passed over the southwest corner of Marshall county abobt ooe o'clock yesterday morning. It demolished one house at Elva and killed five occupants. Anderson Johns!, aged SO; his wife, aged 55; a son aged 17, and two laughters, aged 10 aud 12. The storm came out of Graves county. * • At Mm sonia two stores,two churches, a sehoothouse, several farm houses snd barns were destroyed, but no loss f>f life is reported there. The Storm In MluairL Jofux. Mo.. May 17.-rA very heavy rain visited this city yesterday, swelling Willow branch to la width of 20C feet. The stream crosses Main street snd the water rose to aj height of six feet', undermining the foundation of three stores and flooding others. A seore of families were driven from their homes. The total loss is estimated at WO,000.
