A Christmas
Wedding
By OSCAR COX
Jiui Uugglea drove a mule, and yet |
10 was a grade higher than a tuitle I
Iriver. What put Jim up a peg was
lie fact that his mule towed a canal- '
mat. Jim was not especially proud of
lis mule, but he was very p:md of Ills j
•oat Me could tie up lights, picket |
lis mule and turn into the luxurious
liiartors Iu the stern for a good sleep.
Must of the other boats on that canal
.'ontained families. Jiui was a lone
tachelor. and wheu he passed other
■oats and saw clothes hanging out to
lry lie felt more lonely than ever, and
iVhou he saw dirty faced children look
tig at him (.•ut of the stern windows it
Made him positively homesick.
The hardest days for Jim to get
hrougli were holidays. There was one
liristmas that he kept the towpalh all
!.">• lo drive away the blues. And even
hen ho couldn't help seeing the win
lows along his route hung with ever
;ieoiis and children running about
showing one another the toys that San
a Claus had brought them.
There was a small bouse a short (lis
a nee from the canal In which there
ived an old woman. She kept chick
■lis. a cow and several pigs. Jim had
10 interest In tiie place until one day
ivlieu he was passing with his boat a
•oinely young woman emerged from
I10 house with a bucket in hor hand
11 d dumped the contents Into the pig
;fv .1 im passed out of sight of the rod
•hooked girl with a bucket to the mu
sle of grunting pigs.
A]ell nave tniien 111 wvo i» me swuuu
if n lute. Probably their refined na
tures could not have fallen into the
tame condition to ttie grunting of pljjs
struggling for swill. But Jim was not
1 gentleman: he was a mule driver. At
my rate, that's exactly what he did.
[lis lonely heart yearned for that red
:heekod girl. and love was born within
liim on the same principle that It Is
born in n man listening to n Itite.
As Jitu went back and forth on the
:owpath whenever he passed tiiat
:ionse lie iooki-d for the girl with the
•ed cheeks. One day lie reached the
ilace just as she stepped out into the
rard. Naturally, seeing a boat moving
jy, she looted at it. Then, seeing Jiui.
she looked at him. lie was only a
nail driving a mule attached to a ca
aallMuit, i>ut perhaps she was sighing
'or a mate, just as Jim was. At any
■ate. she didn't look away till she had
jot iced an admiring look on Jim's hon
>st. but homely, face. As lie passed
jit she continued to look at him.
The next time she saw the boat go
:>y it was In the late fall, but the ice
lad not closed navigation. Jim hv*
in overcoat buttoned tight around him
pud was smoking a short pipe. Ou
fie deck of his boat was a board prop
led up to show chalked letters, "Christ
mas Is coiniu'."
I low did that girl know that this
ivas a message for her? .Maybe she
Jiiln't. but the next time Jim passed
I tit* limine he saw ehalked on the roof
>f the pigsty. "Hope you'll enjoy it."
The iee was broken—not in the canal,
tiut the Ice ol° nouacipiaintanee be
tween these two plners for each other,
flic next passing message was, "ilow
would you like to spend it on a canal
bo,it';" To which was made a reply.
'Fust rate."
Much less has been taken for a pro
|ii>s:ii of marriage and an acceptance.
The singular part of It is that the con
tract in this case was wade before
these two had a closer view of each
jther than a hundred yards. Never
theless Jim regarded the matter set
tled, and his heart was overjoyed that
tie would not have to spend the com
ing Christmas 011 the towpath to keep
from being lonely.
His next message was "Christmas
eve?" To which he received a reply.
"Isn't that suddent?'' On seeing this
loving message chalked In beautiful
pure white letters ou the roof of the
pigsty Jim halted his mule, sat down
mi the deck of his boat with his legs
dangling over the side and waited for
a sight of his ladylove. Presently she
uppeared at a window and threw him
a Ulss. He was not satisfied with this
:uid waited longer, but she did not ap
pear again. Turning the board over,
he chalked on the other side, "Be ready
Christmas eve." Having waited till he
felt sure she bad seen his message, he
drove on.
The da.v beforeX'hriiftmas Jim loaded
up at the terminaT wTth Chrlstfnas vi
ands and on Ills way out again called
on a parson living beside a church that
be had often noticed near the girl's
house. The parson promised to be on
hand on Christmas eve.
Mind you, Jim was taking It ail on
faith. lie didn't know what the girl
would do. but bo said that he "kind o'
reckoned she would." Dusk was fall
ing on Christmas eve when Jim's
home, containing a bridal-Christmas
outfit, stopped opposlto the girl's home.
He and the parson went there and
found her in her best dress. Jim had
pn a store suit, and at nearer view the
two were mutually pleased. The old 1
woman gave Jim a shrewd glance and
was evidently satisfied. The party sat
down to a snipper for which a chicken
had been killed, and after the dishes
were washed and put away the cere
mony was performed. When the old
woman bade the bride goodby she said:
"I reckoned when I tuk you out o"
the poorhouse them red cheeks would
git you a home."
Jim and his bride passed a merry
Christmas In their apartments on tbe
canalboat.

An Indication
Of Greatness j
By OSCAR COX
My uncle, L>r. James Pulsifer, was a |
great scientist and au original thinker.
He died a bachelor and left mo all his
property. After his death I examined
every paper of his I could find, es
pecially his scientific writings, think
ing to publish them. Among an earlier
batch written very soon after he grad
uated in medkine I found a narrative
which as 1 read on interested me in
tensely. Here it is:
"We all know that many things exist
of which tlie human mind has not yet
any conception, i go further than
this. 1 believe that anything of which
the mind can conceive, however im
probable, may exist.
"Some years ago a certain noted au
thor wrote a story—'The Strange Case
of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Ilyde'—suggest
ing that two different personalities j
might exist in the same man. 1 be
lieve that the day will come when it
will be demonstrated to the world
that some, if not all, of vs are com
posed of more than one being. Indeed,
I not only believe it; I know it if you
ask mo why 1 know it, this is my re
Ply:
"i Hero was somciuing uuuul ueuuiv i
Hatch that impressed me the first time
I met Iut. She a* as what most per
sons would call odd Perhaps one rea- !
son for my becoming interested in her
was that I was a recent graduate of a
medical college and had taken ft post
graduate course on the physiology of
psychical conditions. It seemed to me
that Miss Hatch was abnormal—not
that her body was abuormnl, but the
spirit within It. Kor 1 am not so given
to materialism as to believe that our
spiritual and physical parts are one.
"Whether Jennie Hatch mistook my
scientific interest in her for love I
don't know, but she came to look upon
me as a lover. I did not either en
courage or discourage her in this. I j
permitted the relationship between us
to drift on without detinilion. One
thinj; 1 noticed which 1 set down to a
certain Qicklenoss or apparent tickle
uess consequent upon the physical
makeup of women. I would go to see
her, say, on Saturday niuht, an evening
I usually dodged my patients if I could
do so without injury to them. She
would receive me kindly and be a de
lightful companion. 1 would visit her
the following Wednesday and she
would look at me as though she won
dered why I had called. During the
first visit she would be a girl, during i
the second a woman. During the first |
i would seem to be a proper compan- j
ion for her—that is, a person of about |
the same age. During the second she i
made mo feel that I was a boy at- |
tempting to entertain a woman who
had learned wisdom.
'"My observations indicated to me that
Jennie Hatch embodied two personali
ties. My deductions were not based
alone on such differences as I have do- j
scribed. There was another and far I
more important symptom. I became
convinced that Jennie sometimes loved
me and sometimes did not love me.
Not only this—I came to suspect that
there were times when she loved some
one else.
"On the theory that she embodied two
-sacs u sogjned to me that Jennie
JNO. 1 Ullglll love 1110 iinu mill, .lemur
No. 2 might love another. It was not
conducive to love. or. rather, comfort
to be Interested in one whose other
self loved some other person. Never
theless, 1 found myself growing fond
of Jennie. Sly theory did not admit
of jealousy because 1 had no affection
for Jennie No. 2. Vet. singularly
enough, 1 was jealous of her lover. 1
suppose it was on account of the two
spiritual personalities occupying the
same body. Scientifically expressed,
my jealousy should be represented by
No. 1 (Jennie of the lleshi plus zero
(Jennie No. 2, to whom 1 was indif
ferent), the product being one-half.
"Nevertheless 1 was in love, and one
evening while thinking the matter over
it occurred to me that I could study
the case better as Jennie's—1 refer to
Jennie No. 1—fiance than as we were
On the impulse of the moment I went
to her house for the purpose of rank
ing a declaration.
"I saw the moment she entered the
room that she was her other self.
"I once heard a woman say (hat If a
man has mado up his mind to n pro
posal nothing that she can say or do
will stop him. 1 had gone to Jennie's
house to propose to her, and somehow
I could not resist the impelling force.
I asked her to he my wife. She hesi
tated, then refused me, telling me that
she loved another.
"I had begun this affair with purely
scientific motives. Here was an end
to It, based on human reasons. I left
the house feeling that for mo the bot
tom had dropped out of the universe."
Here the paper ended abruptly, i
was much disappointed, hoping to find
some confirmation of my uncle's the
ory, based on his singular love affair
But not another word did I meet with
on the subject. One day I was talking
about him to a chum of his youth,
whom I asked how the doctor came
to be a bachelor. The reply was that
when a very young man he had been
in love with a Miss Hatch, who mar
ried an old fellow double her age.
This revelation gave a shock to my
admiration for my uncle's scientific
attainments until I remembered that
when he mistook a girl's indicisiou be
tween himself and another man for a
duplex being he was very young. Nov
ertheless, the incident indicated hi?
mental bent and foreshadowed his fu
ture remarkable career as a scientist.
