My Second-Hand Man

BY CABLOTTA FKRBT.

It was a case of necessity. I had never •done such a'thing before in my life. All he executive ability belonged to Har et, whom I called the senior member the firm. Her talent for manage ent, for baying and making a small income do large duty, amounted to positive genius. My taleut for making poor bargains, for spending money for useless things, for inability to make my account balanceattheendof the month, amounted to imbecility. Nevertheless I was no discredit as junior member of the domestic tlrm of Talbot Sisters. But we found, when mofher was sick, with every prospect that she would lie in her bed all winter, that another stove must be added to our stock of furniture. A room must be fitted up for the invalid that could be kept at such a temperature AS her thin blood demauded, and our full health rebelled against.

In making our arrangements in the fall we had not planned for sickness, and it came as the unexpected is apt to do.

Some one suggested trying a secondhand stove. Some ones friend had •bought a stove which was really better than new, at an absurdly small prioe. Why could not we? wo could. We would. The ways of fate are past finding out. Strangely enough, it fell to me to undertake to make the purchase. Harriet, for some reason, could not attend to it, and I washed the paint off my lingers and turned away from a picture which was to be the very best I had ever painted and was to bring me a goodly sura, aad started upon my errand. I •had many misgivings as to my success. I felt that my feet were not on my native heath, and for a few minutes the magnitude of the enterprise appalled me, and I felt my weakness painfully. But the morning was so delightful, the sunshlue so clear, the delicate tracery of the trees here ana there against the pale blue-gray of the winter sky were so •charming, so weird and vague, that in my keen enjoyment of It all I forgot all auch things as second-band stoves, and /all the various and wise instructions with which I had started, till suddenly I found myself in front of the building to which I had been direoted. I entered, and in the array of sad and dejected looking furniture of all classes, kinds,

And descriptions, my mental temperature fell as mercury will—down, down, •down—I wast conscious chiefly of a supreme aversion for the whole collection of dismembered chairs, tables, sofas, dressing cases and the few articles that -*eemed to be in any state of preservation, were so conspicuously shiny, so r, that they inspired a new, ing of strong suspicion.' I stated to the grimy looking being who addressed me that I wanted a stove, a wood-heater. "Yes, ma am,"and with the eye of an -expert be looked at me and evidently put me ih the category of unsophisticated and unprotected females.

Then from among the stoves that stood in a grim and stately row I selected one that to my eyes looked very respectable and trustworthy. With his assuranoe that it should come to the house in an hour, that with it should come one length 01 pipe, I paid him his price— which was not so fabulously low as I .had been led to expect—and departed, feeling that I had done myself credit. To be sure there was no hearth visible, •but he had said that it was

umislaid

something," and that he would send one •-"there were plenty around the store" +-and I assured myself on the way home 4hat he looked like an extremely honest snd conscientious person, and would undoubtedly do Just as he said. I felt a little ashamed of myself that tor a moment I allowed the demon of doubt to obtain a lodgment In my breast.

But results proved that my doubts did the man no injustice. When the short -daylight passed and no stove appeared, my faith ebbed slowly sway and I was prepared for anything. When at dusk two burly men drove up snd lifted from a wagon laden with what seemed to me must be the wreck of all things—the stove that In the morning had about it an air of honesty and ability—the feeling that my back was not fitted to its burden came upon me with overwhelm°fb«ra it was, damped down in the room, three legs of one pattern, one that was a stranger and an alien, between whom and the first three no harmony existed or ever could exist. The hearth was a pieoe of sheet-iron cut with the Intention of fitting, but failing when it came to practice. The door hang by one hinge and the pipe which was to come, eame not. In vain I Insisted that tt was tes be set up for me. With a smite born of their own greater knowledge of the world and of conumot for my alafipiici ty. lb«y tunted a|d lfft tfe,.thj^Tajh quished Dotaassfr the aMv«

ment of business ability and this was the end. Harriet looked, and for a moment I was conscious of a vague desire to ran and hide from the infinite scorn of her gaze finally I said: "There's, no use In going into heroics over this. Probably I'm not the first who has found out that the second-hand man is addicted to ways that are dark." "How could yon be so foolish?" she ueplied. "Did you ask if there were any legs to this thing—if there was any hearth?" "To be sure, snd he said that he'd see that it came over in good shape and he lied—that's about all there is to it. didn't want to go on this wretched bnai ness it's out of my line. Qne may write fine poems or thrilling romances, sing like a seraph, or paint like a very master but when it eomes to dealing with the artist who deals in old rags anairon broken stoves snd cast-off garments, she may be a dead failure. I own to being a failure in this special branch of business, and I'm not very sorry that I am Everything has its use." "Jean Talbot!" and Harriet looked at me with a very stern expression about the month, and a curiously tenaer look in the eyes. "Don't allow yourself to make a mistake. A woman wants to be very sure that she is a genius beiore she can afford to dispense with com mop sense, and moreover the absence of common sense is no proof of the presence of genius. I had some hopes of you last night when you came home so late, but with this before me"—and she waved her hand tragically toward the abjectlooking iron object before us—"comes back my old and correct estimate of your ability. But never mind in the morning I will interview the gentleman who presides over the aggregation of cast-aside ware, and we will see what we will see."

And we did. Conscious of her ability to secure her rights, she sallied forth in the morning. I accompanied her. We found the same honest faced man, but how changed were his features and ex pression to me. I would have sworn that fraud and duplicity had marked him for their own.

Harriet began. "This lady," pointing tome, "brought a stove here yesterday, and as it does not fill the contraot, I've coise to see about it."

Ah! Anything wrong about the stove?" It has but three legs, it has na hearth, it has no pipe, it has no hinges to the doors, or Dot one—that's all, I believe." "That's bad. I told the man to see that it was in good order, and properly set up."

And they said that they obeyed orders when tbey dumped the stove down and ran away and left it," remarked Harriet, severely.

Just then came on the scene as home ly a man as it had so far ever been my fortune to meet. And to further detract from the symmetry which is essential to beauty, upon one side of his face was a large protuberance which, midway between eye and nose, gave him a curious one-sided and at the same time beligerent and reckless look.

He was the proprietor, Heretofore it seemed I had dealt only with the employe. A few words between the two follewed, after which Harriet remarked, "If you have any other burner in the store that will answer my purpose, I will be glad to exchange if you not, and will not take back the wreck that is now in my house, and refund the money, I will be obliged to you if yon will send and take it away, as it is useless to me and In mo wntr in my way. '•Now, ma'am," said the newly arrived roprietor, "we'll see what we can do, ve been in the business fifteen years, and they do say that seoond-hand men are the meanest top of earth, but I guess never did any very shabby thing by any women that tried to buy of me. That there stove was no account, and I wouldn't have sold it. "Why, I'd ha' known better. When began in this here line I'd as good a head o' hair as any man could wish now see here," ana he raised bis cap, disclosing a bald crown. "You see, ma'am, I want to keep what little I have left and be smiled, snd the great red knob between bis nose and eye glowed with bis earnestness. My dignified sister, who on ordinary ocoaslons frowned facetlousness from sources, looked smiling amasement. "Ye's know Id ha' known better than to have sent that stove in that condition to any woman. I've had too many experlenoes of that sort, and I'm one of the sort who can profit by experience, I can." Mean* time he was leading as about, looking now at this coal heater, now at that wood-burner. With astounding honesty he exposty the faults of each one, till finally he came to one that he pronounoed a "daisy." We looked our incredulity. "I tell you, ma'am, she's a daisy see here ell the legs are here, and here's a damper, and here a griddle on top. Nice for a sick-room heat a little water any time: yes, and the hearth Is here all right, and It has a good draught, and it won't consume but very little wood, and it's as sound as a nut, and plenty of pipe that goes with it. and the man that brought It here said bo felt it was like parting with one of the family when he sold it. And now, ma'am, I'll black this stove up till it shines so you can see your pretty fSoe in it, and send it over. No, I'll bring it over, snd set it up and take back the other, and call tt square. Now, how's that and this one is a daisy, and no mistake."

He paused to take breath, and Harriet said It would be all right, and we went home feeling that victory perched upon our banner. It came,ana the marvelous man came also. When he saw the previous purchase he declared with emphasis that the man who sold us that stove "ought to be kicked, be had io.M Then he proceeded to set It up in pod* tion. Meantime he talked, talked, talked.

Just what there was about as that so set the fountain of his confidence aflow, do not know but certain it was that he felt impelled to unboeom himself. The fact that there seemed to be no man about the establishment perhaps had ita bt, fer he stated several timee that he didnt like to see women who hadn't any man to "stand up for 'em" imposed upon. The pipe displayed the inherent contrariness for which stove pipes have achieved a world-wide reputation, and the judgment and exciting ability which Harriet exhibited, her evident acquaintance with the peculiar!ties of that class of ironmocumry, and her excellent suggestions, evidently impressed him greatly, and when on nis inquiring if we had aodh a thing as a small nail about the lumseL meantime looking on the mantel aTui desk as though he thought there might fcaaatray nail in sight, she went out and returned with a nail-box, fitted up with nails of alt abH tack hammer, and 4U ,ttist goes to make a perfectly tpped at

Did you meet with an accident asked. "You bet I did, and I'm most glad of it, for though I was laid up three weeks, I drew twenty-five dollars from the Insurance Company and when a man has carried a policy in an accidental Company for ten years, it sort o' seems as though he ought to get some of it back, if he' nas to break a leg to do it. I slipped off from a chair while was putting up a stove, and it made me sick, besides making a beauty of me but handsome is that handsome does. The girl I married eight years ago was pretty as a picture a little blue-eyed, dainty creeter, slim and straight, with flossy curly hair, and a look about her that just made a man want to take every rough thing outen her path, and I tried to—the good Lord knows that I tried to. I fixed up three just as pretty rooms as anybody could want, had a great lot of plants,and some pictures with great nice gilt frames, and a bird, and a lot of pretty gimeracks that women like and men like too, for that matter and I used to think when came borne at night from my dusty, forlorn looking store—for I know as well as any body that a seoond-hand shop is about the forlornest looking plaoe top of earth, with its odds and ends of everybody's housekeeping—I used to think into those rooms, and got all cleaned up and sat down by the bright fire, that it was just about as nigh heaven as I ever was likely to get, and for that matter I wa'n'tin the least hurry to get any further. There's a great deal of talk about a woman longinrfor a home, and I spose they do. ana no doubt they are worse off without a home than a man is: but if anybody supposes that men don't have Just that same hungry kind of feeling for a spot that is just the one spot they have a right to, where they just can rest themselves soul And body, why that person's made an awful mistake, and that's all there is about it he has, for a fact. And I read a piece of poetry that some fellow wrote, and he said if you wanted to appreciate heaven you wanted a few minutes of hell or something like that that's all true, but after you've had heaven for a spell—well —it goes hard to be set right into the other plaoe without a bit of warning."

Harriet came to the door and sent several glances in my direction, but I intended to hear the rest of the story, though she scolded me half a day for ft. The man stood by that time making no anything—he had done everything possible to the work in hand but he stood a very picture of rough but genuine sorrow, ana the knob on his nee had grown from a ridiculous obJeot to something very pathetic in my eyes. "Is your wife dead I asked.

He steadied himself by the back of a chair, but he answered. "Yes'm, she died—died the living death that women do sometimes. I thought she wss happy, but he came to see us—her sort o' second cousin—came when I wss there, and when I wasn't, and we all liked him—I did, I confess, though he had none of our ways, being gay and fashionable and all that—and I don't know—only, one day I came home and she was gone, and the boy was asleep in the cradle, and he, the cousin, haa gone writh her, and that's all there was to it ma'am.'' This was said with an indescribable simplicity and sadness.

Did you never hear anything more of her?" "I was going to tell you. I did get a note from her saying that there was no use trying to find her, that she repented of her madness, that she was wild to listen to any word against me, and wilder to go with any man that would speak anoh words she said, too, that I must think as gently of ber as I could she said that she was alone and should try to Bve as honest life and earn an honest living, but she knew that there was no happiness in the world for her any more, and she wanted me to tell the child that his mother was dead, and to try to bring him ap^ right and here he choked down his emotion, and said, "I don't know, ma'am, why I come to fell yon all this I haveat told the story to any one for a long, long time, bat somehow there's something in yo*r face that made me dare to talkj to tyou—aomettiing tbaf made me think pt\ her, and brongbt everything up oeroife me.'

and know bow to use them, too and why should not a woman know how to drive a nail, especially as it is often necessary for her to do it." "That's so only it don't seem just the thing for yoa to do. But as for sewing on buttons and sewing up rips, why ma'am I've done that for six years. Did you notice that little boy in my office the one that stood by the desk? He's my boy, and his mother—well, I've had the care of that boy since be was a year old, that is, mostly, for though he and I live with his grandparents—I kept a roof over the old folks' head—I've had the care of him mostly, dressed him and undressed him, and fed him, and used to sing him to sleep. Yes'm, I could sing a pretty tune or two in my young days and I taught him his letters, and when he was a little fellow, on summer mornings and on Sundays I used to put him in his little wagon and draw him ont on the avenue to give him air."

Here he waited, evidently expecting some expression of smpstby so not to disappoint him, I said: "You certainly have had your own cares and trials, as every one has." "Yes'm, I've had my share. This is a hard kind of a world—hard in spots, you know then, again, everything looks fair and smooth and pleasant. The sun shines, and you imagine it's always* going to shine and then, first thing you know, a cloud comes up. Maybe you don't miud it much, and if you do, you don't think it's going to amount to mach and then in a minute the storm breaks over your head, and all the world is dark—all your world, at any rate, for you see we each one live in a little world of our own that the big world us has nothing at auto do with

I was growing interested Harriet had grown impatient, and gone out to attend to other dutlee, and he stood dextrously twisting some wire where he said it was needed. My cousin and I sat down, and I looked encouragingly and smilingly at him. so that he felt at liberty to proceed witn his story besides I had been suffering to know just how that huge excrescence came to adorn his face. Iu spite of my dreamy, indolent nature, I took a strange interest in my fellow-mortals, and had what my dignified sister thought a plebeian curiosity but which I firmly asserted to be a wide sympathy that took in the brother of low degree, and I had grown interested in my second hand man's story, and wanted to hear the rest of it.

It was very comical, this mixture sentiment and philosophy and slang, but the man was in earnest, and if I smiled it was from no lack of sympathy "Well," he said, "I guess I've done all 1 oan to that stove, and she's a daisy, and no mistake. Good-morning, ma'am" and then as he turned, there appeared i_ the door that opened into the next room —which had been open all the time—the slight, graceful figure of the girl who had been sewing for me for ten days. I heard a low cry, "Oh, John, John!" and his ^uick, "My God, Bessie," and then the dust-begrimed arms of the man clasped the little woman in a tender embrace, and then I went into the next room and closed the door.

Half an hour later they came to the room. "It's all right, ma Am," he said, "and I am going out of your house the happiest man in America it's all right some day, perhaps, she will tell you about it, but now, I own, I'm just too happy to talk but I will say, ma'am, that though you ain't much at a bargain I'm glad you're not, for if it hadn't Deet. that my clerk tried to cheat the eye teeth out of you I shouldn't ha' come over here, and shouldn't have told you all this story of mine, and shouldn't have found my little wife again.

No two men in America have had more experience with fine trotting stock, and none are better judges'than Calvin M. Priest, of the New York Club Stables, 28th street near Fifth avenue and Dan Maoe, of the Excelsior, Stables, West 29th street, New York, the cham don double-term driver of the United Jtates. Both of these gentlemen say, that for painful ailments in horses, snch as cuts, bruises, swellings, lameness, stiffness, St. Jacobs Oil Is superior to anything they have ever used or heard of. This is also the opinion of Prof. David Robarge, the celebrated horsesboerxf the metropolis, and thousands of stock-owners throughout the countiy. As a paincure for man and beast St. Jacobs Oil has no equal. Mr. Priest recites the case of a valuable trotter, so stiff from rheumatism, that he could not move an inch. By one. thorough application of St. Jacobs Oil at night, tne animal was completely cured, and was fit for the race-track, the next day.
