TUL MOCKING-BIRD.

John Waller carefully timed his mur- derous visit to Daniel Jaggard’s bungalow. Jaggard’s nigger, Quash, was out of the way, picking oranges for the market from the grove by the river-side. There was no living creature within half a mile of them, when he stepped into the room where Jag- gard was sitting wriling. A mocking-bird of course did not count. The bird was in a large cage in one corner of the room, while Jaggard’s table was by the window fronting the pine forest.

** You, John!” exclaimed Jaggard, laying down his pen. ‘* Well, I’m glad to see you. Sit down.”

‘* No,” said Waller. ‘‘ Reckon it’s not pleasure 1’m here for; it’s downright busi- ness, Once for all, will you leave Sybil Macdonald to me? It’s an old tale by this time, and I’m not going through it again. Before you came, she cottoned to me, and no other man. I’m mad on her. But it’s different since ’’—

** My good man ”"—

** None o’ that. —Yes or no ?”

** Weil, certainly * No’ in that case.’

“Then, by thunder, your last minute has come.”

They were both strong men at the strong- est, but Jaggard was taken unawares. Waller’s bowie was in him to the hilt be- fore he could stand up. pain he slided heavily to the ground in a widening pool of blood. The stab was mortal. He groaned, writhe |, tried to lift

himself on his elbuws, gasped forth the | | words, “* John did it,” and was then seized

by the death agony, and died. Wailer, who had narrowly watched the whole scene, shrugved his shoulders, wipped the knife upon his victim’s clothes, and left the house.

During the progress of this tragedy the

mocking-bird had stood to attention, with |

its head on one side. Only by an occasion- al quick nervous movement of its long tail did it show sign of life. But when Waller had left the room and stealthily glided into the pinewoods adjacent to the house, then, with erect head and grand air, the bird mimicked the gruesume spectacle from beginning toend. It gave the various in- tonations of the two men in their brief in-

tight mouth, as if she resented such an un- profitable waste of time. Quash, with bracelets on and shedding tears as fast as he could, was present of course. Never did an nigger offer so pitiable a spectacle ashe. Butno one compassionated him. Che only pity at his service was what he might receive from the cold barrels of seven or eight six-shooters.

This lively gathering in the room which it had been wont tu consider sacred to it- self and its master (whom it loved in bird- fashion), at first frightened the mocking- bird. it tried to obliterate itself in the darkest corner of its cage. By-and-by, however, it apeared to take an interest in the proceedings. It trod forward, inch by inch, until it was as near to the assembly as its cage permitted. Someone gave it a lump of sugar, but it neglected the sugar when the City Marshal began to speak, Quash interrupted the Marshal with a passionate repudiation of something the Marshal said. At this the bird cucked its head, and redoubled its attention.

The evidence was purely circumstantial. Quash, when called upon to defend himself, could say nothing but common-places. He loved Mister Jaggard too much to think of killing him—would rather put the knife into his own black bosom, and so forth. He shed additional tears, too. All which was no defence at all. And so when he was silenced, it was apparent that he would be judged “ guilty.”

But the City Marshal was not satisfied. He had never seen a nigger weep like Quash, he said. ‘*I want to know some- thing about Jaggard’s personal habits,” he observed. ‘* Was he likely to commit sui- cide, for instance?/—Mr. John Waller, you, 1 think, knew him pretty well.”

“Yes, I know him weil,” replied Waller, standing up, and feeling very sick.

You should have seen the excitement of the mocking-bird when it heard Waller's voice.

‘**Now, what do you think about this business, Mr. Waller?” asked the Marshal.

**John did it! John did it!” screamed the bird, which then, with a splutter of effort, reproduced the sounds emitted by Jaggard when he died. The noise of its wings against its cage-bars drew every eye towards it ; and holding fast to the side of

low, clear tones, but agonized, as if ex- hausted : ‘‘ John did it.” But what electri- fied the audience was the unmistakable

‘imitation of a death-rattle and choke with ‘which it favored them. After the per- formance, it leaped lightly back to its jcentre bar, and with the toes of one leg demurely scratched its head-feathers. There was no misconstruing this mock- drama,

The City Marshal was the first to give Waller a look of seratiny. Sybil and her mother were hardly less alert. As for Quish, his black face lit up with a sudden glory. And the assembled townspeople, having briefly wondered, were led by the tendency of the eyes of the Marshal, the ladies, and Quash, tv look where they look- ed. What did they see?

wondrous mockery of the dying efforts of its master. This done, the bird stalked to

|a piece of meat at one end of its cage, and |

dined tc its contentment.

Now, when this sad occurrence came to be discussed, it seemed clear to everyone that Quash, the nigger, had murdered his master. What more obvious? Quash was a peculiar msn, even fora darkey. His emotion over Jaggird’s body was pro- nounced exaggerated. It was, indeed, the sublime of black cunning. They carried him off to the prison-house of Waterville, and put his very tears and wailing abvut the gvodness of the man who was dead in the bilance against him. There was talk about lynching him. But that the City Marshal took pains to guard against. The City Marshal had along white beard and a broad brow. He wasthe Nestor of Her- nando county, and he said that it was pos- sible Quash was not the culprit. This oracular ruiing saved the nigger.

Among all the orange growers round Waterviile, none were more interested in the murder than Mrs. Macdonald and her daughter Sybil. They had emigrated from England in 1884. Mrs. Macdonald was a masterful woman. Sybil was nineteen, with purpled eyes beautiful to look upon, notwithstanding the swart complexion she owed to the Florida sun. It was these purpled eyes that had iascinated Waller. By-and-by, when Jaggard arrived and took up land in the neighborhood, he also sacri- ficed tuthem. Sybil respected Waller as a shrewd steady worker, sure of co:nperence in a few years. Jaggard she grew to love, though he was poor. But to Mrs. Mac- donaia there was no crime like poverty, and so Sybil had kept her love in her own heart. However, Jaggard had learned to read in her eyes, and he understood her. Therefore, when the murder was bruited, the shock to the Macdonalds was great, and to Sybil, stunning. ‘*Mother,” she said, quietly, when they had brought over the news, *‘ I believe [ could kiil that wicked brute if he were here—kill him with my own hands.”

**It will be all one to Quash in the end whether you or the Marshal kill him,” re- marked Mrs, Macdonald. ‘[ guess he’ll hang ere this day week.”

It was decided to hold the inquiry in Jaggard’s own room. In the interval the house had been put in charge of a poor Seminole who had wandered up into Her- nanduw county. He knew little English, but that littie was more than envouyh, as he had no one to talk to except the mocking bird, whom with th craft of a child of nature, he coaxed into the utter- ance of a multitude of excruciating noises.

The room was filled, ant a block of people stvuod outside alsv, between the open wincsw and the pine forest. All Jaggard’s intimate acquaintances had been subpvenaed. Thus the Macdonalds and John Waller himself were there—Sibyl and Waller looking somewhat uncomfort-

abe; but Airs. Meccdorteld wrth merely «

Gl

ble iteration of the death-agony put a seal of veracity upon the words, and instantly he realized that hisdoom was upon him. An acute pain took him at the heart ; he 'went ghastly paie ; his eyes dimmed, so that he saw the eyes of his neighbors and acquaintance centered apon him asit were |through a mist; and he reeled forwards, ‘doubled upon the chair in front of him. ; When they tried to lift him they found |that he was dead.

' ‘*] rather guess,"’ observed the City ! Marshal, **there’s a kind of a link between the inquest we’re holding to-day and the ‘one we'll hold to-morrow which it’ll be awkward to Jay hands on.”

Miss Baker and Sir John. THE FAMOUS KINGSTON INCIDENT FULLY EX- PLAINED BY ITS HEROINE.

Miss Hulda Baker, the elocutionist, arrived home from Thousand Island Park atew days ago. Miss baker is the fair Syracusan who made herself famous at Kiugston, Ont., by accosting Sir John Macdonald, Premicr of Canada, and assuring him that in case he came to the United States he would be heartily received. Miss Baker gives this account of an incident which is international in character: ‘*] am much mortified at being heralded over the cvuntry, and had no thought of any- thing only saying in as private a way as | could what [ did, after having my patrio- tism aroused by the Premier and his suite (especially the Premier) saying such hard things of the United States. I had a position on the grand stand where | could hear all that was said. When they had finished speaking and were about to leave, the Premier happened to turn ind pass me, and, quick as thought, I extencled my hand and bowing and swiling saidtoe him: ‘Ex- cuse me, sir, but I ama loyal American, and we open our doors wide to you and you shall come in and dwell peacefully with us if you will.’ Amid great applause he laughingly replied, as he shook my hand : ‘Of course you would let such a good look- ing old-fellow as Lin? To which I re- plied: ‘ Certainly, and I will stand in the dvor.’ Ther more laughter and applause, Sir John immediately offered himself as my escort and introduced me all round, and, inthe company of the Premier and his suite, J was escorted through the build- ings and into outside attractions When it wastime forme tuotakethe boat for Thousand Islaud Park he very gallantly placed me in a carriage and I was gone, not expecting anything from it but a little pleasantry. Butas I learn the press has made much ot it, and the reporters did not always get itas it was, 1 gladly tel! you the whole proceedings just as it occurred.
