The Man as Was
Wronged
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1913, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
If it hail been a pleasant day and if
we hadn't all been out of sorts with
our luck we should have hud a word
of welcome for the stranger us he en
tered our camp that wretched after
noon. As it was fifty of us saw him
leave Chinese trail at Dead Man's El
bow and walk into our camp, and nev
er a man rose up to salute Uitn.
The stranger seemed to expect Just
such a reception—that is, he didn't
seem a bit surprised. He passed down
the single street we had named Koad
to Itiches, turned to the left at the
lone pine tree, and without once look
ing arouud him he staked off a claim
and began to erect a shanty.
"Bad mau, I'm afeared," growled
Judge Slasher as he partly closed one
eye and gave the stranger the beuelit
! of the squint.
I "Bin bounced out of some camp fur
stealin'." added the big chap frc^pi
Kentucky.
"Tell you he's got a hangdog look."
put in the man known as "Ohio Bill."
Every man in the camp was down
ou the fresh arrival and that without
cause. Ordinarily we were a jolly set,
ami a stranger coming among us met
I with words of cheer, but that after
noon tile devil was to pay. The three
mule belonging to our camp had stray
ed off and been gobbled up by the In
dians, and on the heels of this discov
ery came the announcement that we
had only salt enough to last two days,
while the sugar was entirely gone.
Two weeks had passed, and. while
some of ns had given the stranger a
curt "(!o»d morning." no one shook
hands with him or entered his shanty
to smoke ;i friendly pipe. Then a
climax came. The six of us. occupy
ing one shanty, were working in com
mon. ami our bag of dust was buried
in a corner of the fireplace. One
morning this bag was missing, and
you can imagine that there was a first
class row In no time. There' was (die
hole where some one had dug under
the stones and carried off the treasure,
and whom were we to suspect?
Yes. we were mad. aud In the ex
citement of the first discovery wo came
near having a free fight among our
I selves. It increased our anger to dis
cover that we could not reasonably sus
pect any one, and this fact made every
one of us try harder to pick up a clew.
At length Judge Slasher sprang to hitT
feet with the exclamation:
"F.v the bones of Ividd, I know the
thief!"
"Who Is he?"
"Tbnt hangdog. sheep stealing stran
ger! Hang me If I didn't dream of his
coming in here last night to borrow a
shovel, and U was his digging under
the stones which started that dream,
fie has held aloof from ns, and that's
proof enough that he came here for no
good purpose."
It was a straw to catch at. We had
lost in a night all we had gained by
months of hard work, and we didn't
st"p to reason. It was decided to lay
the charge at the stranger's door, and
if he could prove his innocence so
much the better for him.
The news that the White House, as
we called our shanty, had been robbed
spread like wildfire, and ns we started
for the stranger's claim our crowd
numbered a full hundred. As the
crowd swooped down oil the man he
started ofT at a run.
| "Halt. halt. halt, or we'll shoot!"
shouted a score of men.
•Tie's the thief—stop him. stop him!"
roared the judge.
Five or six shots were fired almost
as one, and the fugitive tumbled for
ward on the rocks. Three bullets en
tered his back, and as the foremost
men bent over him and turned his
white, scared f.'rte to the heavens he
gasped out:
"You have murdered me! God for
give you!"
"Now to seacph him." said the judge
as ho came up. and half a dozen bands
made quick work of it. Resting on his
breast and made fast to his neck by a
ribbon was a package wrapped In oil
skin. There was a flutter of excite
ment as the judge rudely snapped the
string and held the package in his
hand. It was our dust?
Xo! We formed a circle around the
judge as he sat on a rock and opened
the package, and in less than a min
ute there were white faces among us.
What were the contents? A photo
graph of a f:tir faced middle aged wo
man, and on the card was written:
"Mary—died June IS), 1S57."
That was the dead man's wife. Therff
was a second photograph—that of a
babe about a year old—and the judge
read aloud in a trembling voice:
"Our Ilarry—died April 4, 1S57."
That was not all. On a card wc-re
locks of their hair. And we were look
ing down upon these things and feel
ing our hearts sweiling up aud our
eyes growing misty when up comes
our good for nothing, half witted cook
with the bag of dust in his band. In
repairing the fireplace he bad moved
the bag, and In the excitement over
its supposed loss what little wit he had
was frightened away for the moment
The hole under the stones had been
made by s'ime small animal in search
of food, and in our baste we had ac
cused and murdered au innocent man!
With sorrow, with tenderness, with
hearts like children, we dug a grave
sud put the poor body into it, and with
■his own hands the judge planted the
headboard aa 1 engraved thereon:
I "Here lies a man as n-as wronged!"
BRILLIANTS.
Did we not hate nie necessary
toll
Of slow correction and the pain
ful file
Illustrious youths with Just con
tempt receive.
Nor let the hardy poem hope to
live
Where time and full correction
don't reline,
The finished work and polish
every line?
—From Horace's Art of Po
etry.
Some of your griefs you have
cured,
And the sharpest you still have
survived;
But what torments of pain
you've endured
Prom the evils that never ar
rived!
—French Proverb.
It fortilies my soul to know
That though I perish truth is so;
That how so e'er I stray and
range,
Whate'er I do thou dost not
change.
I steadier step when I recall
That if I slip thou dost not fall.
—Arthur Hugh Clough.
BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.
He hears but half who hears
one party only.—Aeschylus.
Prejudice renders a man's vir
tue his habit and not a series
of unconnected acts. Through
just prejudice his duty becomes
a part of his nature.—Burke.
He who is sorry for having
sinned is almost innocent.—Sen
eca.
All persons as they become
less prosperous are the more
suspicions. They take every
thing for an effort and from
.their conscious weakness pre
sume that they are neglected.—
Terence.
All men are held and called
tyrants who possess perpetual
power in a state which once en
joyed freedom.—Nepos.
A Lot of Moisture.
The annual rain and snow fall of the
United States is estimated to weigh
f.,000,000.000,000 tons.
Paper Insulation.
On a test, paper Insulation on ex
posed electric wires has withstood
service for twenty-three years.
Books and Sunlight.
Books will not become yellow if the
[irtires be exposed to sunlight occa
sionally.
Whom He Told.
The Womau—Do you ever talk to
any one about the pastry I make,
dear?
The Man—Of course I do. I have
to tell the doctor what alls me, don't
I?—Youkers Statesman.
Her Long Suit.
"Mrs. Jinks says she never can tell
what any of the neighbors will do
next."
"Well, she loses no time in telling
what they did last."—Buffalo Ex
press.
What People Think.
A roan doesn't care what his wife
thinks of him when he refuses her
money. But lie will hand a strange
waiter a dollar tip rather than have
the strange waiter think he is cheap.—
