STARVING TO WIN A WIFE.

It was a July afternoon. Three men sat on the veranda of the village hotel. Their feet were on the balcony railiug, their chairs were tilted back and they •were fanning themselves.

These men were Judge Barron, County judire, Pardon Miller and Col. Gherkins, a retired militia officer, on no pay. Not one of them would see his 50th birthday, for they had passed it. "Speaking of fastin?," said the Judge, breaking a long •silence. "Hadn't lici-a mentioned, snaned the Colonel, interrupting.

The Judge dropped hi3 chair squarely down on its four legs, and looked sav agely at the Colonel. The Colonel returned the look and snapped his lingers contemptuously. "Don't be boys!" urged the minister with a smile. H'- smiled because lie knew the fiery but harmless ways of the gentlemen. "Well, we .r" too old for lln-i sort of thing/' 'said the Jud^e. leaning back again. "But, bpeakui fa-ling I will have it, that way—-rewinds mo of my attempt at suicide." "It was in the papers," said horkins, stopping hi% farming long enough to glance si lt-WHYS at the other. "It was," admitted the Judge, "but it doesn't signify now, over twenty-five years afterward." "Humph!" grunted the Colonel. "I was in love, doctor," and the Judge turned his face toward the minister. "That is what bethought," observed the Colonel, with a cackle, half cough and half laugh. -With a girl," continued Barron. "Well added!" cried Col. Gherkins. "Though the tendency of youn" men is, we know, to fall in love with old women." "And not, as you well know, Colonel, for young women to fall in love with old men." -You're as old as 1 am," shouted the Colonel. -Not by fifteen years," exciaimed the Judge. "But you take my remaik as personal." "That's the way you meant to have it taken, I know," growled the unamiablc oki man. "So von oucrht," said the Judge. "But never mind that! I fell in love. That means to be miserable. At 22 one has love as one has measles severely, all over, as a matter of business." "Whim I was a boy," suddenly began the Colonel. "Why, that is ancient history," cried Barron.

The Colonel said something in an undertone, and lighted a cigar. "'I had always been in love with Miss Lou Dexter," continued the Judge. I began to sillier when I was in roundabouts. I was a sort of duplex, backaction, extra-elastic passion. I suppose I made a fool of myself. Didn't 1, Colonel V" "Deeidcdly!'' declared that person. "1 felt as sure of Lou as I did of myself." the Judge continued. "But when I came back from college I thought everything had changed for the worse. There was no longer that familiarity and confidence that had existed between us. Half the time when I went to see her she was either busy or out lor the evening, or engaged with a musty old fellow wiio had money, but whose name I wont mention." "Mustv, Judge!" howled the Colonel, springing to his feet. "Musty? Have care!" "Poetical license, I suppose," suggested the minister. "Now, if he had said moldy—" "Just as lilsalous, just as infamous an untruth," shouted the Colonel, stamping up and down the veranda. "Oh, well, consider the remark withdrawn," laughed the Judge. "The man was there, ail the same, and kept me from confidential chats with the girl I loved." "And he knew it!" chuckled Gherkins. "She knew it!" said the Judgo, gravely. "I didn't mind any of these things so much as the story that she was going to marry tho old fox, and that her wedding clothes were being made. That struck me like the ball from a Whitworth gun. 'Lou,' I said, the first tinie I met her after heariug this story, 'is it true that you're getting ready to marry this man?' naming him.

She had a way of half turning her face and lobking up at you with a sauciness in her black eyes that would drive a man crazy. She looked at me that way. $'"Don't you wish you knew?' she asked, and walked away, looking backward just once, in her coquettish way, over her shoulder. "Ten minutes afterward I saw her walking with my venerable rival." "Venerable alongside of veal," said Gherkins, savagelv.

The Judgt laughed. "You are posted, Colonel," he said. "You forget that I mentioned no name for the gentleman." "You might as well," said the other. "Oh, the "doctor can wait or guess," was the reply. Then—"Miss Dexter's indifference crazed me. I wanted to^ tell her that, as a man, I lovcil her. She knew7 that in my childhood I had idolized her. But whai chance had I? What good would it do, if she were going to marry the infirm fellow wheezing asthmatically bv her side I went homo assured that life had no value to me. Tho mow I thought of it the less I cared for it. The less cared for it the greater my anxiety to be rid of it. To be rid of it meant to take it. Suicide is horribly vulgar, ordinarily. It is only the Frenchman who makes "it sublime. He "There! here! I must protest,' exclaimed the parson, holding up his hands inhorror. "Such talk is not orthodox." 'I'm not telling an orthodox story, doctor. What I think now and though Mien arc two different affairs. Enough

say I rescued on killing myself. As in my disappointment I felt no hunger starvation seemed a very refined method" of self-extermination." "Economical to the last!" exclaimed the Colonel, returning to tho attack. "You'll never carry the practice of your life to such an extreme," said Barron "I have the satisfaction of knowing that. However, Colonel, your bitterness is natural. I forgive you. Dr. Miller cannot fail to see that I'm treating you like a Christian—that is, as if you were one Well, I began the siere myself. Tho supplies were cut off. 1 retired to my room and refused to eat That meant a great deal when it is considered that for tour years I had lived at a college boarding house. It meant more when one remembers that it was done for lovo. Men talk of killing themselves for the objects

of their affections, but they seldom, if ever, try the starvation plan. It takes true grit for that sort of thing. Perhaps this story of mine hasn't the sentimental fervor that animated me then. It seems now to have ieen au example of rather funny obstinacy. The first day was lived through without much discomfort the second found me hungry the third, I was half crazy for food, and the smell from the kitchen infuriated me. I began to wonder if I wasn't making a fool of myself." "Yes! Tou were the only one who had doubts about it!" said the Colonel, quite cheerfully, all things considered. "3Ieanwhile," continued the Judge, "every relative cot wind of the matter and came to hold an ante mortem inquest. The doctor was summoned, and at last the newspaper of the town came out with a highly-seasoned story, in which Miss Dexter was, by inuendoes, referred to as the cause of the trouble. Of this, however, I knew nothing. I was too busy in sclieeming to counteract the plots of my friends to force food into my stonwic-h ot care what was being said outside of the house. The night of the third day was a horrible one. It was made up of a sue ession of dreams of banquets at which could not cat enough to satisfy my Iunyt-r. "The next morning I was out of my head until noon." "Out of your stomach! Brains had nothing to do with it," said the Colonel "Out of my head," repeated the Judge "It seemed as though I was about to col lapse and die. Everything was whirling around and around, when the door was op- ud and a face came into view. It had a famrliar look, but at first I could not tell whose it was. I looked and looked and looked, and then dropped away in a fainting fit. It lasted for a minute. When I came to, the first thing that met my gaze was this same £ace. The eyes had tile same electrical gleam as of old the lips were just as seiluctve in their expression, and the voice made the sweetest of music. She took my thin face in her little hands and looked sadly into my eyes." "Fred!'Fred!" she whispered. "Dear old boy, tell me what this means!"

I shook my head wearily. "I've been away," she said, "and there's a horrible story about us in the paper— about in p. I mean—that I am the cause of this. Have you seen it?" "No, Lou." "Are you going to kill yourself, Fred bringing that dear face of hers closer to mine. "I shall continue to try.'' "Why? What is the matter?" "You arc the matter, Lou, if you must know," I said, getting desperate, with her lips so close to mine, aud the questions coming thick and fast. "\ou are the matter"" "Me-" "You."

I could see that she wanted to make me tell, aud I believe that the only thing that kept her from asking was that she believed she knew what I had to_ tell. I resolved to settle my doubt, and, if I was going to die. to have her know just the reasonicr my suicide. "Lou," I began, putting an arm around her waist to steady myself. "Lou, I am killing myself because you don't love me." "How do you know that, Fred Barron? You make me ask the question."

Her face came down upon my shoulder, and she began to sob. "Because, Lou, because, because"—I paused simply because I didn't know, but had only guessed at it, and in my weak condition it seemed as if I had be«u woefully mistaken. "Well, then, I knew it because you always put Gherkins between us and how could I tell you over his shoulder that I wanted you to be my wife." "Did you want to tell me that, Fred?" "Yes!" "And that animated old petrifaction kept you away "Animated Old Petrifaction, eh? Did she call me that, Judge Barron shrieked the Colonel, slapping his hat on his head and driving it down with a blow of his fist, as he sprang from his chair. "If she did, sir, I demand satisfaction, the satisfaction of a gentleman, sir! 'Animated Old Petrifaction!' And this by a woman I would have honored by marrying! It is too much,too much! You shall give me revenge i"

Barron laughed. So did the minister. "You shall have what you want, Colo nel," said the Judge. "When, where, how? That talk suits me." "Bv coming around to dinner with me this afternoon. You know Mrs. Barron has changed her mind about yon since that day." "I'll be blanked if I will, roared the Colonel, slamming the chairs aside as he tramped away. "At 4 o'clock sharp," said the Judge, leaning over the railing, and speaking to the angry man on the walk below.

The Colonel shook his fist in reply. "He is very wrathful," observed the minister. "But he will come all the same," said the Judge. "I suppose that young lady gave you a favorable reply," meekly observed Dr. Miller, who wanted to hear the conclusion of the story. "Favorable Of course! See that lady over the street there?" "Mrs. Barron? Oh, yes!" "Well, she was Lou Dexter before I married her. Her 'yes' stopped my suicide." "Indeed!" "Indeed. And what is mors, in view of my profession, I've never had to starve since."

THE FOUR BULIWHACKERS OF BITTER CREEK. Perhaps every person who is somewhat advanced in life can remember some incident of his early yi :rs which he would really like to lurget, something that resulted from the freshness and vast inexperience of youth. 1 remember one which I have spent a good deal of time trying to forget. Just before the Union Paciiic Railroad reached the Bitter Creek country, I made my first ovej land trip to the Pacific coast. Tstaged it from the then terminus of the Union Pacific to the Central Pacific, which was pushing east. The stage uroke down on Bitter Creek, and the passengers had to walk to the next station. 1 grew tired ofwalking before I reached the station, and coming, late in the atternoon. to where some teamsters were camped, I concluded to stop with them for the night. On asking their permission to do so, they assented so heartily that I felt at home at once. Life in the west was something new to mc. I was young and buoyant, and just out of college.

I was "fond of talking. I thought*if would be novel and delightful to sleep out with these half savage ox drivers, with no shelter but the vaulted, stargemmed heavens. There were four teamsters, and as many wagons, while thirty two oxen grazed around in the vicinity. Of the teamsters, one wa^i giant in stature, and wore a bushy black beard another was shorter, but power fully built, and one eyed the third was tall,lank andhame jawed while the fourth was a wiry, red headed man. In my thoughts I pitied them, on account of the hard life they led. and spoke to them in a kind tone, and endeavored to make my conversation instructive. I plucked a llower, and, pulling it to pieces, mentioned the names of the parts pistil, stamens, calyz, and so on —and remarked that it must be indigenous to the locality, and spoke of the plant being endogenous, in contradestinction to exogenous, and that they could see that it was not cryptogamous. In looking at some fragments of rock, my thoughts wandered off into geology, and, anion" other things, I spoke of the tertiary and carboniferous periods, and "of the pterodactyl, ichthyosaurus, and dinotherium. Tho teamsters Rooked at me, then at each other, but made no response. We squatted down around the frying pan to take supper- and as the big fellow, with his right hand, slapped, or sort of larrupt, a long piece of fried bacon, over apiece of. bresul in his left handsending a drop of hot grease into my left eye, lie said to the one eyed man 'Bill.is my copy of shakspere in your wason 1 missed it to day." "No. My Tennerson and volum' of the Italian poets is in thar—no Shakspere."

The lank looking teamster, bitting oil* a piece of bread about the size of a saucer, said .to the big man, in a voice which came huskily through the bread, Jake, didyer ever read that voium'of po'ms that I writ V" "No, but hev often hearn tell on' em.' "Yer nr:an 'Musin's of aii Idle Man," spoke up the red headed man, addressing the poet. "Yes. "Hev read every line in it a dozen times," said the teamster with the red hair an as he sopped a four-incli swath, with a piece of bread, across a frying, pan, he repeated some lines. "Them's they," nodded the poet. The Emp'ror of Anstry writ me a letter liigly complimentin' them po' ms." "They're very techin"'added the wiry man.

I took no part in these remarks.. The wiry man, having somewhat sat isfied his appetite, rolled up a piece of bacon rind into a single barreled opera glass, and began to squint through it toward the northern horizon. "Whatyer doin,' Dave?'J ask the stout man. "Takin' obsirvations on the North Star

Want to make some astronomical calkilations when I git inter Sackrymentr"Well, ver needn't ter made that tel' scope. 1 could er tuk yo' observations, for yer, bein' as I haint but one eye." "Git out thar, yer durned ole carboniferous pterodactyl," yelled the hamejawed driver to an ox that was licking a piece of bacon. "I give a good deal of my time to 'stronomy when I was in Yoorup.,' remark the tall man. "Over thar long?asked one. "Good while. Was Minister toRooshy. Then I spent some lime down ter Rome." ',Rome!' exclaimed the lank individual. -Was born thar My farther was a sculptor.'' "Good sculptor?" & $ ',Yes." "Well, one wouldn'ter thought it, to look at yer." "I never was in Yoorup..' remark the one-eyed man. When I copied the cheer of ancient languages in Harvard College my health failed, and the fellers that had me hired wanted me ter go ter Yoorup for an out. but I concluded ter come west ter look— Hold up thar, yer internal ole ffe-bitten iclithy' saurus," he bawled to an ox that was chewing a wagon cover.

Tfelt hot and feverish, and a long way from home. "I got ready once ter go ter Rome wanted to complete my studies thar but give it up," said the one called Dave "What far?" "They wanted me ter run forGuv'ner in Virginny." "Yer beat 'em "Thunder, yes." "Why didn't yer sfay thar?"' "Well,when my job as Guv'm?r give out they 'lected me Piscopal Bishop, an' I hurt my lungs preachin.' Come West for my lungs." "Found em Ll "Well, I'm improving, "Hello. Bill. How yer makin' it?" "Oh, I'm Indigenous./ "An' Dave?" r|-%£v?*. "I'm endogenous." "An' you, tauky, yer son of a sculptor "Exogenous.4, '.How you fee!, Jake?-' inquired one of the thee who had responded. "Cryptogamous, sir, cryptogamous."

I walk out a few steps to a little stream, to get adrink. I felt thirsty, aud I ached. Then I heard a voice from the blankets •'Wonperlf them durnet ole diuother ums of ourn are done giazin."

Then a reply' "I guess they've got t« the tertay period."

I walked a little on the road, to breathe the morning air. I kept on, —Lock Melons in October Californian.
