I clean forgot to call for it yesterday, and if you want to go out with the hounds on Saturday, you won't have another chance of getting it." Thus spoke my stalwart, weather-red­ dened, gray-haired sire, as he put on his rough hat and took his thick walking- stick from the stand, preparatory to go­ ing about the farm. It was about 3 o'clock, and dinner was just over; for the time of which I speak was twenty 5ears ago, and the farmer had not then earned to live according to the laws of a fashion unsuited to his income and oc­ cupation, or to ape the style and ex­ penditure of his landlord. My father was an old-fashioned yeoman, who tilled the land which his great-grandfather had tilled before him, and even hail he lived in these days, when men of his type are rare, he would have kept to the old-faRhioned ways. I was nothing loth to act upon the parental suggestion, although it meant a long drive in the biting oold, and al though the return journey would have to be done in the dark or with vety in­ different moonlight. "We were utterly isolated at the Mistletoe farm, for we were seven miles from Worthington, our nearest town, and ten miles in the opposite direction from the nearest railway station. My father farmed nearly 500 acres, some of the land--es­ pecially that lying toward Worthing­ ton--l>eing very poor Bfcuff, and only lit for shesp. There was not even a vil­ lage near, the laborers lived in cottages scattered over the estate, and in the depth of wintes, when "there was snow, or when the floods were out, we were often .a week at a time and never saiw a soul l>eside ourselves and our employes. But we always had a good bit of hoiseflesh in the stable ; as, indeed, was absolutely necessary, when our only means of communication with the outer world was by road, and when the dis­ tances were so great and the roads so bad. The little bay mare that I was going to drive--Fly-by-night was the name we afterward gave her--was a young one of our owm breeding, clever as a eat and docile as .a dog. From her infancy she was my play-fellow; would come to me when I whistled to her, eat out of my hand or pocket; and, when the time came for backing her, there was nothing to be done. She ixad per­ fect confidence and trust in us all, and especially in me; tike cat bv .the fireside could not be more gentle or more «asy to control. If only people would learn that a horse can, by kind "treatment and constant .association, be made as tame and and affectionate as a household pet, there would be fewer broken bones from haek jumpers and runaways. She was a world too good lor har­ ness, I thought to myself, as I led her out of the stable and proceeded to put her to the old-fashioned square dog-cart, which turned up behind, and looked like a mail-cart--barring the •color, whieh was a dingy gray. The little mate was my hunter when the hounds were within reach and my father would led aae go; and she carried me as gamely, even after twenty miles of luuroess the day before, as if site was one of the Squire's cracks and went out only once a week. As we trotted quietly down the drive, my father put his head over the hedge and called to me: "Maybe the saddle won't be finished,'" Be said, his red face glowing with the cold, his eyes glancing critically at the mare. "If so, you can put up at the Angel and hare your tea; but don't be later than you can help. Have you got your watch on you?" "Yes," I said, wondering at the ques­ tion. "You'd better give it to me," said my father, stretching his arm over the hedge. "I heard, yesterday, at the or­ dinary, there was a gentleman stopped Monaay night on the road. You haven't got too much money on you, I suppose?" "No danger,M said I, with a laugh, as I put my watch and chain into my father's big, brown hand. "They won't get much out of me if they try it on." And off we went, turned into the high road and sped at a quick trot through the gathering twilight in the direction of Worthington. It was dark when we reached the outskirts of the little town, and the lights, not very brilliant if tried by modern standards, sparkled cheerfully enough in the windows. Past the blacksmith's forge, with the great bel­ lows roaring and the sparks flying from the cinders; past the butcher's, with a goodly display of some of our best beef; past the grocer's, where the half-dozen children who were flattening their noses against the panes turned to look at us, and so, clattering over the uneven cobbles of the pavement, to the saddler's shop. The proprietor himself, a staid and portly person, conscious of the irnrx>rtanoe which attaches to his position in a country town, came out and nodded a greeting. "A cold night, Mr. Tom," says he, with a shiver, as the wind took his "I'm not quite ready for you. our father didot ?«me in yesterday, m. wouldn't want M*Mk. I hetti* the inue and I are going, forme if I put up?" The saddler thought '»?• I, lean- trap. m»e •ndtheBttle Gam you do it -- „ for a moment. "Av, I can do that," he said at length. 'Will you call in between 8 and 9 and it shall be ready for you." I agreed, shook up the mare, Mid, a few yaids further down, turned in through the narrow gateway of the Angel into the dim, deserted inn-yard. From a single, half-open doorway came a stream of light. A figure issued forth in answer to my summons. "Good evening, Mr. Tom," said this person, approaching and tapping the mare's neck. "Hallo, Jack! is that vou?" said I, as I drew the reins through my fingers and alighted, recognizing,, as I did so, Mr. Jack Plover, to whom was intrusted the important duly of conveying the Queen's mail-bags from Worthington to the railway town. "You'll have to Wrap up warm to-night." . "Ay 1 bitter cold, that it is," answered Jack, undoing the traces. "But law me! I'm used to it. If only I'd got as good a thing between my shafts as you have here, I'd think nothing of a sev­ enteen-mile drive, I do assure you, sir." "Your old pony isn't to be despised, either," said I, holding up the shaft while Jack drew the mare out. "Anew pair of forelegs and sound bellows Would improve him, but except for that "Well, he isn't quite a Newmarket or a Doneaster, I do confess," said Jack, leading the nare in through the open doorway and putting har in a vacant stall. "But he is good enough for bis work. I start early and we take it easy. You won't have the collar off, sir?" "No," I said, "I am off again in an hour or so. Will you have a drink, Jack?" We crossed the vard, passed through a swing-door and found ourselves in the warm, cheerful bar, where the bright light made us wink after the darkness outside, and the huge fire sent a leap­ ing, ruddy glare on the red curtains and a reflection that danced merrily on the trim rows of bottles and glasses. The barmaid, buxom and fresh-colored, smiled a welcome, and rewarded my compliments on her pink ribbons and the roses in her cheeks by a "Go along with you," and a couple of glasses of stemming whisky-aad-water. There was only one other occupant of the bar, a stranger to me. He was a man apparently verging on 40, buttoned up in a shabby great-coat, and with his hat so slouched over his eyes that his features could hardly be discerned. To the salutation I made him on entering he made no reply, but, with arms folded, gazed fixedly on the floor. •"My service, sir," says Jack, raising his tumbler to his lips and taking off the contents at a draught. "That's the ntuff to keep the cold out; although this is a bit too early. I ought to have watted until 8 o'clock, just before I started." "You can have another then, if you like," said I, with a laugh. "No, sir," remonstrated Jack, "I didn't mean that. Is the clock right, miss?" he inquired of the barmaid. "Then I must be going about my work," he added, receiving an answer in the affirmative. " Good night, sir, and thank you kindly." And Jaok Plover, who was a sporting- looking figure with his queen's livery and clean-shaven face, touched his hat politely and passed 'through the swing door. The man with tfae slouched hat looked tip as he left, and addressing nobody in particular, inqired in a harsh, rough "voice, with a queer burr in it: "What time does the post ge «nit here?" * •"At 8 o'clock," replied the bar-maid, looking at her interrogator with no par­ ticular favor. "That is the driver of the mail-cart who has just left" "So I judged," replied the mas, ris­ ing, and putting some money on the •trble. "Is that right? /Good-night to you.™ And with a heavy, slouching gait, be •strode to the door and was gone. After tea in the half-lit coffee-room and a pipe in the bar, with the bar-maid to tell me the gossip, I stai*ted at about half-past 8, called at the saddler's, put my saddle under the seat, and set out for home. , As we passed the black­ smith's forge at the end <of the street there was a pony being shod, and Mr. Jack Plover, in a big great-oost, was looking at the process. "Caet a shoe, Mr. Tom, and had to tnrn back," he called out as I passed by. Out into the country, looking doubly- black and dismal by contrast with the cheerful light and warmth that we were leaving behind; with the slanting rain driving full in one's face, so Uiat it daz­ zled the sight; with gray piles of •clouds hurrying overhead; with a veil of mist and darkness blending hurdle and hedge-row, field and ±ree into a vague, indistinct, gray mass. The road is muddv, and, albeit the high-road, in bad condition; but the little mare has got her head homeward, and pulls her hardest toward warm stable and well- stoeked rack and the society of heavy Dobbin and his brethren. Not that my little hunter is to be permitted to pull herself to pieces th rough ruts and over ill-laid stones, for there is Saturday in prospect, and, with the country in this s' ate, we shall want the very last ounce. Now we are climbing a hill, and, anon, we are on the top, and the rain and the wind beat savagely upon us and the prospect on either hand is dreary enough. Now steadily down the shed­ ding ground, with a tight rein and a careful lookout for loose stones; for this is a steep descent, and one false step may take £20 off the little mare's value. The banks are high, at all events, so there is some shelter, and down at the bottom are trees on either hand. It was pitch dark in this hollow, but I let the mare out at the bottom of the hill and gave her her head. Suddenly, with a loud snort she swerved violently, ran the wheel tot the trap onto a heap of wayside stones, put there to mend the road; and in a second we were over. I went out, of course and the driv­ ing-box, the saddle, and a debris of miscellaneous articles after me. I landed partly on my shoulder, partly on my head, and was up again in a moment, although a bit dazed. The moment I gained my feet I was seized by the collar, and a harsh voice ex­ claimed--not to me, but to some one else: - ^ "Hold head down--hold his head down!" A dusky form sprang to the mare's head and kept her from attempting to rise. A third form knelt on the trap. "By Jove!" exclaimed this last fel- lew in an angry tone, "we've got the wrong man!" "What?* said he who had bold of my collar. "Do TOO mean to gar it isn't the--?" With tnP»y of qaths, the other re­ plied in tlMi negative. The man who had hold et me released me and joined the other. They whispered together for a few seconds. Then the first one came back to me amd said, with a fine pretense of indifference: "Nasty accident, sir! But it might have been worse. It's lucky we were at hand to help you." "I don't know about that," I replied with no small acrimony, "for my horse shied at one of you. She never did it in her life before. Youll oblige me by helping her out." In a twindling we had the harness undone, and the mare with a flounder and stagger, was on her feet, and shook herself in a disgusted fashion. The men said nothing, but obeyed my direc­ tions. Luckily nothing was broken; the mare had rubbed a little hair ofl her, as well as I could tell, but her knees were all right. In seven or eight minutes from the time we went over, so quickly did it all happen, I was in my seat again, ready to start. My assailants, or assistants, which­ ever they were, made no opposition, and seemed only anxious to get rid of me; they dispatch&l me without a word, and I was a mile on my road be­ fore I fully realized what had hap­ pened. As is always the case in an ac­ cident, .1 could onfy recall what took place immediately before and imme diately after, and for that very reason the words uttered by the men were more vividly impressed on my memory. What'did they mean? It flashed into my mind like a revela­ tion. They had been misled by the shape of my trap; which, as I said, was square behind, and looked like a small cart, while the darkness was too great in their place of ambuscade for them to see the color. The time of my arrival was about that of the mail, had not Jack Plover been Obliged to turn back; and the careful pace at wliich I had come down the hill accorded very well with the steady movements of <Jack'e nag. And the voice ? I had heard it some­ where lately--the man in the Angel bar, who asked, too, the time when the mail left. There was no doubt of the men's purpose. How to prevent it? How to warn Jack in time? There was no road back but the one by which I had come, un­ less I made a detour of several miles Neither was there a house near whence to get assistance. I pulled up and thought it out. A bruise on my right arm suggested something. I had fallen on mv left side, and this bruise was caused by the saddle tumbling after me I made up my mind at once. Turning in through the first gatef I came to, I drove over the turf to a cor­ ner of the field where waa a group oi trees. Here I took the mare out; put the trap under the elms, and turned the cushions; took off all the harness but the bridle, and saddled her. Luckily the bridle had no blinkers. I wound the long reins round and round my arnl, mounted, and, thanking Provi­ dence for my knowledge of the coun­ try, rode at the nearest fence. There was a faint moonlight to help us, but it was terribly dark. My heart was in ra; mouth as we went at the fence, wliic was a big upstanding one, but I knew there was no ditch on the taking-oil side, and I gave the little mare the word at the right moment. She jumped clean from under me, and landed me on the crupper. I never shall forget that leap! If there had been any one to see it I could have sold her almost for her weight in gold. We were half way across the next field before I had regained my seat properly, and then the mad exhilara­ tion of the thing took possession of both of us. There was a flight of hurdles next which we took in our strides. Then a bank and a close-cropped hedge that stood up, black as Erebus, against the gray of the night; which we jumped as though it were twice its height. Then a flock of frightened sheep went scurrying away into the darkness. It was all turf, and, for the first time, I blessed the poverty of the land that made it worthless to plow. A dozen fences negotiated in the same mad fasli ion brought us into a field that skirted the road; and here we were pounded. Tl>ere was a big bull-finch into the road, with a deep drop. To go on, parallel with the road was impossible, for there was a made-up bank with a cropped hedge, full xof stakes, and a deep drain, as I knew, ran on either side. I rode up and down by the bull­ finch in despair. Was all my trouble to be in vain ? At last I made up my mind, and rode, not too fast, at the great, towering, straggling hedge. I put my arm across my face, shut my eyes, into it we went, and out of it, with a scramble and a flounder, we came--separately. The Irall-finek merely brushed me out of the saddle, and the mare and I dropped side by side into the road, both of us on our legs. Before I had time to re­ mount I heard the sound of approach­ ing weels, and a man whistling merrily. "Pull up, Jack!" I called out. Jack's whistle ceased, and a more astonished countenance I never beheld than the one which looked down from the mail-cart. In half an hoar the constable and I were seated very uncomfortably on the back of the mail-cart, and driving along as fast as Jack's pony could be induced to go. Our only fear was lest the fellows should have got tired of wait­ ing, for it was quite an hour and a half later than the time when the mail should have passed them. Down the hill we went, our hearts thumping away with excitement, not to mention the difficulty of holding on, and Jack per­ forming "My Pretty Jane" with exquisite variations. Well, to cut my story short, we got one of them. The constable, in his eagerness, jumped down directly the first man had seized the horse's head, and the other two fellows made off. We got the right gentleman, though-- the identical fellow who had been in Angel bar, and whose voioe I had recognized. He was tried at the assizes, and, two other convictions be­ ing proved against him, was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. I went out with the hounds on Satur­ day, and my little mare was the heroine of the hour. The Squire himself came up to me, and, after complimenting us both on our achievement, said: "What do you call her?" "Well, Squire," I replied, "we haven't given her a name yet. "Call her Little Fly-by-night," said he. " . And that's how she got her name-- Argosy. IT is remarkable that Tipperary is in these days one of the quietest counties in Ireland, while Galway, once so peace­ able, h m dons "a power of murderin'." ftciweod Trees. ftnd myself were walking _ np a wooded ravine in Cali- fom&wSen a woodman on the hillside, some distance above us, took his pipe out jof his mouth, and tranquilly re­ marked: "Guess you fellers jest as well go back." It is one of my rules in life never to ask useless questions. I went back. And in a few moments I found out why. The sound of chopping and the swish of the saw suddenly ceased, and a long, mournful cry rang through the wocds. It was the warning note of the wood­ man. The top of a tall tree some distance ahead of us began to tremble slightly. There was an awful, prolonged groan --such a groan as might come from the hairy breast of the imprisoned giant be­ neath Mount iEtna. Then came a sharp "crack!" as the mighty tree-trunk snapped. The tall monster slowly and majestically moved toward the earth. There was a terrible crash as it smote the branches from its fellow-trees-- smiting them as cleanly as with a scime- ter. There was a roar as of thunder when it struck the ground; the earth trenlbled for rods around, as if an earth­ quake shock were upon us; a cloud of dust rose up, and when it cleared away the impassive woodmen were stripping the fallen giant of his limbs. Inasmuch as the tree fell upon the exact spot we had occupied a moment before, we understood and appreciated the remark of the laconic woodman. We wat-ched the woodmen prepare an immense log, about twelve feet in di­ ameter. They drove in the staple, and then hitched to it twenty oxen--ten yoke. The goad-bearer punched his animals, swore at them in a pleasant and persuasive voice, and they started. The mammoth log groaned slightly, turned reluctantly, and moved forward an inch or two. Ping! Whir-r-r-r! The iron ring had snapped in twain. Its two fragments flew two different ways--one passing between the inter­ esting heads of Menteur and myself. If it had struck us we would have lost all interest in logs and other mundane things. Not having struck us, I main­ tained my interest. I looked with much curiosity to see what had become of the twenty oxen. I expected to see them out of sight, as an Irishman might say, by reason of the sudden slackening of the immense tension. They were not out of sight, but they were the most miscellaneous, most con­ fused and most disgusted oxen I ever saw in my life. They were engaged in turning twenty distinct, complicated and rapid somersaults. Menteur, in telling this story, invari­ ably ends it by saying that each ox lit on his feet. But then Menteur is not marked for his veracity.--San. Fran- cifito Argonaut. A Straight Mail. A chap who plumped off the wharf at the foot of Randolph street, the other day, was promptly pulled out by three or four men who witnessed the action, and when the victim was safe on the planks one of the men remarked: "Did you fall in ?" "No. sir; I jumped in," "Did vou intend to oommit suicide?" "No, sir." "But you must have been tired of life to take that leap. Tell us your troubles, and perhaps we can assist you." "Gentlemen, said the stranger, after swallowing a glass of whisky which a boy had run for, "I'm a man of straight business principles; I've jumped off the docks along here some six or seven times this spring. I'm always sure of being pulled out, of securing a big drink of whisky, and the cash collection runs from 75 cents to $3. "Well, you won't get no cash out of this crowd," said one of the men. "I realized that as soon as yon pulled me out and I sized you up," replied the Strang >r, "and I may as well add that the whisky you sent for is the poorest stuff I ever drank.
