AN OLD FASHIONED EJEOTMENT CASE IN THE BACKWOODS, There was a great stir at Rouzer’s Run in the Penfisylvania backwoods. The case of Binners versus Rorer was to come up before Squire Sniffets. Job Binners some time before had charged Sam Rorcr with stealing a coon from him. and. getting no satisfaction, he called on Reuben Ray, who “ done hoss doctoriu an lawin," for advice. Reuben had advised “ takin the law on Sam,” and Job had told him to go ahead and make Sam sweat. Reuben applied to Squire Suilicts for the necessary papers to proceed in the case. ” Squire.” said he, “ we’ve got a case ng’iu Sam Rorer for ’properatin' a coon. The heft o' evidence is that he has cut the coon, all ’ceptiu the skin. What .we want to git is a writ o’ liahus corpus on him to pcrjuce that skin afore you, ' so’s we kin take percecdins reg’lar.” “ My opinion is, Reub,” said the squire after due deliberation, “that you hadn't better do it. When you wunst git to habus corpusin there ain’t no tell- in where you’re goin to end up. Fust thing you know you’re liable to run slam agin the constitution, and then where be ye? Don‘t go and habus cor- pus. E-c-jectmeut. That's what you want. E-c-jcctmcnt, or trespassm’ in the case. Is your evidence primy fishy ?” “ Primest kind, your honor," replied Reuben. “ T'othcr feller’s is fishy.” “ What you want, then," urged the squire, “ is a reg'lar ole fashioned e-e- jcctnient.” “ llut you see, squire," persisted Reuben. " :1 hith corpus will fetchâ€"” “ "l‘won't do no scch thing !" inter- rupted the squire, who was getting testy. “ Not in this court it won’t, 'causc I won‘t issue none.” “ Then can‘t we sort 0' copies Sam on put the screws right to him ?" sug- gested Reuben, not willing to abandon his mode of procedure entirely. " There you go ag’in !" exclaimed the squire. “ Yes. you kin capias him. Course you kin! But can’t two play at that game ? You capias Sam an then Snm'll turn round and capias you, an then as like as not some durn fool’ll capins me. an the fust thing We know we‘ll all be capiased to the s'preme court. an even if we keep outer jail the b‘m- hnniin‘ll be all over 'icre we're through. an none of us won't git a smell an it ! There won't be no capiasin business goin on in this court, not this time 0' year.

What mattered it if the fond heart palpitating so incessantly beneath its snow-white covering did become a fit- ting candidate for the repair shop because of this uncompromising deter- mination? What mattered it if the future did loom up before her mind’s eye painted o’er with dark and sombre colors? In short, what mattered it if she did love the man who had just asked her to be his? Such trifles as these were not to be considered for a moment when placed in juxtaposition with that high idealic principle which had become the guiding star of her life from the very moment when she had read the first line of her first love story years ago. No, Kitty Cliarmyngc was not the girl to sacrifice a sacred tenet for a mere craving of the flesh,and when the crucial hour had come she hesitated not a second to immnlatc her happiness on the altar of principle. To the young man kneeling before her the words came as the death knell of cherished hopes. Only a few brief minutes had sprinkled their own ashes on the towering ash heap of the past since he had felt his bosom swell with tumultuous joy at the bright dreams of future bliss. Now all those phantom pictures had vanished, and life had suddenly become a dreur and worthless waste. He slowly arose, and turned to her a haggard face, on which the grim god- “ You have pronounced my sentence, Miss Charmynge,” he said in broken accents, “ and I will not ask you to revoke it, for I feel that such an appeal i would be useless.
