TIRZAH'S CBDIXET.
Five yrars before -when Solomon
Oreen had asked Tirzah Hitch cork to
become the second Mrs. Green she
had tartly refused the honor. "I ain't
much of a beauty." she had told him,
but no warmed-over affection fur
me. thank you. Solomon Green."
Solomon had reasoned all in vain.
"Why, Tlrzah." he pleaded, "It ain'
Bo ways natural fur wlmmen to live
alone. Every mornin' your chimbly is
me iurst thins I look at, an' if
wasn t to see the smoke a comin' out
of it, I d be scared to death thinkin'
you was robbed, or killed or minthin
What's the use in us keepin' up two
houses when one would do jest as

Since that time the two had hardly
excnangea a dozen words. Solomon
had not married, neither had Tirzah
ana now on the night before her tor-
tieth birthday she sat looking- around
her orderly little home with the most
desolate feeling- at her heart she had
Known for years.
Tomorrow would he her hirthilav.
Mechanically she had pone through a
iew preparations lor that rather du
bious festival. The smallest hen from
her flock was curled up ready for
roasting inside the same pan in which
her hens had been roasted for the last
lirteen years. A green apple pie sat
( on me pantry shelf beside a sour
1 re-earn spice cake, while a plate of
eaiy tarts was waiting patiently the
' i I i .. J , . i .
:v Biajc jcuy io ne tneirs on
me morrow.
- Never before, at that season of the
year, had Tirzah's hens been laying so
xier cow naa never been known
to give so large a yield of milk. There
were three new kittens in the basket
behind the kitchen stove, and her
-o-""' y "iru was tne loudest singer
il " vniage. But lor all this
iirzan was not satisfied.
She had heard that day that the
widowed cousin who usually kept
tiuuse ior ooiomon Green had unex
pect'.dly married.
or course this was nothing to
Tirzah, but still here she sniffed two
Liiree times, ana then, without a
particle of explanation to the astonish
ed cat, who had come forth demand
lng her allowance of milk, sat down
In her cane seated rocker and burst
out crowing.
For five minutes she cried, and then
fhe dropped her apron and looked
guiltily about.
A thought had Just intruded Itself
upon her which she considered in the
light of a secret crime. Over and
over aain. despite herself, she re
hearsed Solomon's proposal; each
word as it had been spoken, until,
suddenly, like the hand writing upon
the wall, there stood forth these
words: "Every morning your chim
bly is the first thing I look at "
Had he meant it? Did he still turn
his eyes with the coming of morning
light down the little hill which lay
between them? Did her lonely chim
ney still claim his thoughtful care?
five minutes later the dark plot
was formed and Miss Tirzah was
hurrying about her preparations for
the nirht with cheeks that burned
with tires she had thought long since
gone out forever.
The following morning more aston
ished creatures there could not be
than were the k'ttens. cat, cow, hens
and canary of Miss Tirzah Hitchcock.
Something, certainly, had gone wrong.
Six o'clock came, and the stable
loor was not opened by the brisk
'miStress. Half past six, and still no
tire in the kitchen stove. Seven o'clock
and no breakfast yet for the mistress
and her indignant dependents.
Loud and angry rose the protest of
Prindle from her snug- stall, while the
old cat and canary did their best to
stir things up Inside.
Meanwhile, hidden by the parlor cur
tains, crouched Miss Tirzah, wrapped in
a huge red and green shawl, her heart
fluttering between shame and dread,
while her eyes watched with fevered
anxiety the house Just up the hill.
Oh! how pitifully foolish now, looked
her deep laid scheme when faced in
. the broad light of day.
Of course he had forgotten, years ago,
to watch her chimney. What was it
to him now, whether she had a fire or
not? She would go this very minuta
and build it. She
Why. what was that? Some one was
coming out of Solomon's front doer.
Some one why. it was Solomon him
self, creeping forth as if he had just
been engaged in stealing his own
spoons and was now making oft with
them to a place of hiding.
Where was he going?
The heart of Tirzah stood still for one
long and nerve destroying second, then
Jt went on again with such a hammer
ing and commotion beneath the red and
green shawl that a less plucky woman
would have fled for the camphor bottle
on the instant.
Solomon was coming down the hill
straight toward her tiny home. Com
ing, it is true, not as the conquerors
come with bold and martial tread, but
after a timid, slinky fashion of a man
who has had his last timid advances in
that direction scorned.
When it was certain past all shadow
of a doubt that he was coming into the
house, Titzah, the crafty creature, be
took herself to the cane-seated rocker,
where, wrapped to the chin in the big
nhawl, she waited with palpitating
:Vrt for the timid knock which at
0 iength sounded on her door.
"Come in." she then called feebly, at
which the door was opened cautiously.
1 Inch by inch, until the entire figure of
the middle-aged lover was disclosed to
view.
At the sight of Tirzah. bundled up
and in the armchair, all of his hesita
tion vanished.
"Why, Tirzah, are you took sick?"
came in the loud, cheery voice which
had not sounded in the room for five
years past. "An" it's cold enough In
here to freeze the hair off a dog's back.
Let me fix you a fire."
In a few moments a cheerful fire was
roaring up the chimney. To be sure,
there were more chips on the floor than
Miss Tirzah would have scattered in a
twelve-month and the cat was spitting
out her indignation in a remote corner,
over an injury done her sleek tail by
the heavy boot of Miss Tirzah's new
fireman.
Tirzah. however, noticed neither the
chips nor the anger of her cat. Not
redder than her cheeks was the blazing
fire, for Solomon had taken courage
and was Fitting beside her. Inquiring
kindly when she "was took" and if he
Shouldn't go and "fetch the doctor?"
"You see. Tirzah." he said with a
ruiltv laugh. "I allers look at your
chimbly the fust thing in the mornin'
I've kinder got into the habit. I know
you don't like it. but eh why. Tirzah,
woman, whatever ails ye?"
Solomon," cried Tirzah, and she al
most screamed it in her excitement.
I I do like it. I oh. Solomon I
didn't build a fire a purpose."
And Solomon
He rose then and there and kissed
her! Clara Parker, in Housekeeper.
Egirs Resisted Fire.
In clearing away the debris of the Phil
adelphia lunch establishment kept by
Horn and Horn on Baltimore street, a
few doors east of North street, the work
men brought to light several crates of
eggs, in which each individual egg occu
pied a separate compartment in the
pasteboard arrangement used to prevent
breakage in transportation. These eggs
may have been in cold storage before
they reached Baltimore, but on Febru
ary 7 last thev were in the midst of the
hottest fire ever known or ex perl en cad in
this locality. Yet, strange to say. many
of the eggs came out of the fiery ordeal
apparently as fresh as the day they were
laid by the hen. The boss of the gang of
workmen engaged in clearing away the
debris broke a number of them in the
presence of a reporter and ascertained
their freshness by applying his nose to
the contents of the shells after breaking
tnem open, no pronounced mem rrcsn.
To the eye they were good. The albumen
was not coagulated and the yellow was
in a natural state.
The wood of the crate was charred, the
pasteboard fittings of the interior were
sodden witn water, and trie greater num
ber of the eggs were roasted and as hard
as stone. But a considerable proportion
of them was In apparently good shape

Promise ol a lively Summer In the
Far West.
We are congratulating ourself on
having secured our annual thirty-five

The cowboys from Colonel Gor

front doors of the city hall Tuesday
evenlnir bv way of letting on super
fluous steam. All the lead dug out
of the doors comes to us as a per
quisite. Shoot up, boys!
Major Wallers has never called us
a liar and threaienea to snoot us on
sight. He so assured us when we held
a gun to nis ear me omer uay, aim
we took his word for it.
Our esteemed contemporary need
not make such a mystery over the
sudden disappearance of Jack Stuart-
The vigilance committee warned mm

mule threw grass and dirt ten reel

The editor of the Lone Jack Re
corder spent two days in the thickets
of Wolf Mountain the other day. He
had abused us editorially, and some
one had told him we were headed
that wav. We shouldn't have hurt
him bless you, no! We haven't time
to fool away on him.
We had seven stops on our local
subscription list last week, and in a
day or two we shall be around ask
ing: "What is the use?" As our guns
will be along with us, we shall look
for prompt and lucid explanations.
We alwavs want to know why a man
either subscribes for or stops his
Kicker.
During the last year The Kicker
published two million more advertise
ments than during tne year oeiore,
and it now takes 23 strong and healthy
men to receive and classify the ads.
daily handed over the counter. Some
New York dairy may try to outlie us
in this respect, but we shall see their
figures and go one better.
We are often asked by our enthus
iastic friends to name the exact cir
culation of The Kicker. WTe dare not
do it. If we should name the figures
for Asia alone, we would be run out
of the Gulch as a liar. Just think of
billions and let it go at that.
We had felt for a year past up to
May 1st that we would be compelled
to shoot ex-Judge Toppling and add
him to the list quietly sleeping in
our private editorial graveyard, but
he went off to Mexico tne last week
in April, and a fortnight later news
came that he had been lynched for
robbery. We feel sorry for him, and
yet we are glad he is off our hands.
To be in an undecided state wor
ries us.
Mr. Treadwell, the drummer from
Chicago, who was shot through the
shoulder Monday night.- had traveled
throughout the west for two years
and supposed that a straight beat a
flush. This town is headquarters for
setting folks right, but facts have to
be shot Into some of the anxious in
quirers. Lampus Joe struck town the other
day with loaded dice and marked
cards and a desire to up his fellow
men for gain, but he didn't last long.
The city marshal warned him to get
a gait on him, and the pace was a
hard one for his poor old cayuse.
Sometimes we let a bad man dally
here for a week or two and bring on
a financial panic, and sometimes he
wants wings to get out fast enough.
That class must take their chances.
In returning from Pine Hill the
other day, a road agent at Wolf Creek
attempted to hold us up for our
wealth; but after we had made the
dust fly with our third bullet, he took
to his heels and disappeared. Our
motto Is: "Promptness and Despatch"
in all such cases, but at the same time
we have no wish to scare a fellow
man to death.
Some day we shall journey over to
Gopher Valley to get a look at the
country, and when the 100-pound man
who runs the Weekly Echo hears that
we are in town, he will either have
heart failure or break for the brush
and not be heard of again In a week.
We had a long-distance telephone
put Into The Kicker office last week
and it had not been working above
two hours when Major Clymer, whom
we advised in a brotherly way some
time since to leave town, called us
up clear across Arizona to observe
that we were a liar and a horse-thiet
This electricity is certainly a won
derful thing, but we are going to be
as placid over it as possible.
Big Ed Tucker of the Gray Eagle
saloon Is not to blame for being a

take something out of the ordinary
to make a change. (Copyright, 1904
