ASTOUNDING SUSAN.
“Wolves was wuth $25 apiece time me
an’ Susan lived_on our clearin’,” said old
Cuthbert Miles, the Indian Run hermit,
“an’ wunst I was so hot foot to git a
couple, ’count 0’ the bounty on ’em, that
I come pooty nigh never bein’ heerd on
ag’in. I" wouldn’t a. ban, nuther, if it
hadn’t a. hen fer Susan. Nothin’. surer’n
that, sir!
“’Twas the day afore Chris’mas, an’ me
an’ Susan was going to Parks’s, five mile
down the creek, nex’ day to eat Chris’mas
dinner.
“‘Susan, I says, ‘seems to me I ought
to go out an’ git a deer, so’s we kin take
some ven’son ’long with us to-morrow as
sort of a Chris’mas present to Joe an’
,Sally Ann. Hadu’t I?’ I says.
“‘Course ye had!’ says Susan.
nice fat one.’
“So I took 01’ flint lock an’ went out.
I hadn’t gone more’n two mile ’fore I
jumped up as nice an’ fat a buck asIever
See. I let ol’ flint lock holler, an’ I see by
the way the buck twitched his tail and
sprung away that I had touched him an’
touched him had. I went on an’ found
the snow all splattered with .blood au’
blood markin’ the deer’s trail.
“ ‘l-Iere’s goin’ to be a. saddle o’ ven’son,’
Isays, ‘setch as ’11 make Joe an’ Sally Ann
Parks glad they come into these here
wuods!’ I says.
.“I follered the deer’s track, thinkin’
how tickled Susan ’ud be when she see
that nice, fat deer, an’ the blood got
thicker an’ thicker, an’ the buck’s tracks
slonvcr an’ slower, till I know’d I'd soon
c :me up to him dead or dyin’. Pooty
soon, though, I seen somethin’ that jist
made my blood bile. Some other tracks
showed in the snow right along the deer’s.
’l‘ney was wolf tracks—two on ’em a fol-
lerin’ the deer!
“This is sad,’ I says. ‘That nice, fat
buck 0’ Joe’s an’ Sally Ann’s goin’ to be
fodder for two ’tarnal wolves! This is
satll’
“I hurried on an’ hadn’t gone a. hub-
dred yards when I come square out on the
wolves an’ the buck. The buck was down
an’ the wolves were tearin’ an’ gnnshin’
away at him tremendous. I up an’ blazed
away at one o’ the-wolves an’ hit him had.
Away they both went, the wounded one
havin’ a. hard time of it an’ leavin’ lots 0’
his worthless blood stainin’ the snow as
he went. Goiu’ up to the buck I see he
‘Git a
' was (lead, an’ the wolves had tore him
so that my blood took to bilin’ wuss’n
ever.
“‘Them wolves is wuth $25 apiece,’ I
says, ‘an’ I’m bound to hev ’em, but if
they wasn’t wuth a cent I’d hev ’em any-
how, jist fer their mummixin Joe an’
Sally Ann’s deer,’ I says, ‘un’ disapp’int-
in’ Susan,’ I says.
“So I follered the bloody wolf track.
The two devourin’ varmint-s kep’ to-
gether an’ I know’d where one went t’-
other un’d go. They led me a tol’able
long chase, an’ they’d it led me a longer
un if the one wolf hadn’t/a hen wounded
so bad. The trail led to an openin’ in a
ledge 0’ rocks, an’ there, squattin’ right
in it, was the well wolf. I whanged
away. Old flint lock didn’t seem to be
feelin’ jest up to the mark that day. By
rights she ought to tumbled the deer
square in its tracks, an’ she oughtn’t to
let the first wolf git away, an’ now she
hadn’t acted square with me in dealin’
with the second wolf. She had tumbled
it, 0’ course, but not so it’d stay tumbled,
an’ the wolf drug itself back into the
hole though it was a hard job fer it.
“_ ‘Cats!’ Isays. ‘You ain’t treatin’ me
right, flint lock.’ I says. ‘I’m aieard
you’vo give me a bad job here,’ I says.
‘But I’ve got to hev them wolves,’ I says.
‘If I’d go home an’ tell Susan I let a couple
of wolves git away from me,’ I says, ‘she’d
give me a. look au’ say: “Moses, I’m
ashamed 0’ ye!” an’ she’d more’n likely
say: “Milk the heifer; I’ll go an’ git them
wolves myself,” setch an astoundin’
woman is Susan.’ '
“' ‘hat’s what I said to ol’ flint lock an’
laid her down more in sorrow than anger.
Makin’ an inspection o’ the openin’ in
the rocks, I seen that it run in amazin’
narrow fer three or four foot an’ then
spread out into quite a nice showin’ of a
cave.
“ ‘That entry to them wolvcs’s house is
awful close work for the eyes!’ I says.
‘There’s got to be some tight squeezin’
done ’fore I git in to hev it out with them
wolves,’ I says.
they’ve spiled Joe an’ Sally Ann’s deer,
an’ they’ve disapp’inted Susan, an’
they’m worth ”.25 apiece!’ I says. ‘I’ve
got to hev ’em, squeeze or no squeeze!’ I
says,
“So I took my buckhorii handled hunt-
in’ knife in one hand an’ started in. By
wigglin’ an’ squeezin’ an’ twistiu’ an’
'turnin’ like an eel goin’ up a dam, I got
half through the narrow entry, when I
heerd a terrrible objection to my goin’
any furder. There was an ugly growl
first, then a. snarl, then a snappin’ o’ jaws,
an’ then the hull of ’em together, an’
then the wolf that made ’em sprungr fer
me an’ socked its teeth in my left shoul-
der. I had my knife in my right hand
an’ I didn’t engage to lay there :in’ let the
wolf do all the sockin’, so I begun to sock
the wolf with the knife. The wolf hadn’t
skeert me, fer I was ’spectin’somethin’ 0’
that kin ; but the fight hadn’t more’u
begun ’fore I diskivered somethin’ that
jist turned in ‘ cold from head to foot, an’
it seemed to m - ‘is if I could feel my hair
turnin’ white.
“‘Susan!’ saysl, ‘I’m afenrd yer as good
as a \vidder!’
“What was ill -: :iiskivry I made? Why,
sir, I was stuck fast in that narrow
place as if I’d a hen built in there when
it was made! I couldn’t wiggle ahead nor
Icouidn’t backward. I didn’t keer fer
the wolf. As fer a matter o’qthat, layin’
there half on my side, I socked my knife
so hard an’ so fast into that wolf that he
was a goner ’fore he could do more’n give
me that first sock with his teeth in my
shoulder. - .
“T’other wolf was dead, I knew, or he’d
been makin’ some kind of a fuss. So
wolves didn’t out no figger in the situa-
tion at all. It was me bein’ held fast in
the bowels of the earth, so to speak, get-
tin’ wedged there tighter an’ tighter the
more I tried to get myself loose, an’ no
more chance 0’ any one comin’ by there
than there was 0’ them stones openin’ of
their ownselfs an" lettin’ me out. It
was overpowerin’ cold an’ gettin’ colder.
I knowed that Susan Wouldn’t think
nothin’ o’ my bein’ away not until some
time after dark, an’ then she couldn’t do
nothin’ till mornin’.
“ ‘Susan,’ I said, 'thsn you’ll be a. wid-
der!’
“’Twa’n’t that I was aieard to die that
I felt'so tremendous awful ’twixt them
narrow stones, but it was the thoughts 0’
leavin’ Susan all alone on the clearin'.
So I’d work away ag’in, chopping the
stones with my knife, hopin’ to make a
hole big enough to let me out, but the
way I lay I couldn’t get to work where
it’d do any good, orIcould a done it in no
'But they’m in there, an’ -
time.
’o laber, I was jest petered all out. I
couldn’t hardly raise my head nor my
hands no more, an’ the cold was eatin’ to
the very marrow o’ my bones. ‘ I don’t
know. how long I laid there like that, but
by an’ by I heard somethin"at the open-
in’ outside, an’ then some one hollers in
an’ says:
“ ‘Moses! Be ye dead or alive?’
“It was Susan! Of all things in the
world, Susan! ButI mowt a know’d it.
Astoundin’ woman that she was, I mowt
a knowd’t it;
“ ‘Susan,’ I says, ‘I‘m betwixt and be
tween!’
“Then I told her the fix I was in an’
how I run into it deliberate an’ with my
eyes open. Susan, she crept in, an’ with
my knife she dug an’ she pried an’ she
chipped. She kep’ it up fer an hour, an’
made room enough fer me to turn in. A
few more chips an’ chops an’ pryin’s an’ I
sqeezed my way out! An’ me an’ Susan
both sot on the ground an’ hugged an’
bellered.
“Then by an’ by Susan got up' an’
crawled in an’ dug out the two dead
wolves. An’ how do you suppose it hap-
pened that Susan come along an’ rescued
me? If she hadn’t been an astoundin’
woman she wouldn’t a hen there an’
she’d been a widder.
“Not long arter I had left the clearin’
to go an’ git Joe an’ Sally Ann a deer fer
Chris’mas, a wolf came sneak-in’ up an’
was-nosin’ around to git one o’ Susan’s
chickens. Susan diskivered it, an’ bein’
as sly as the wolf, she snuk around with
her clothes pounder, an’ ’fore the wolf
know’d what was up, she fetched him a
whack with it that sent him endways.
But he was up again ’fore Susan could
git in another lick an’ started fer the
woods. The whack with the clothes
pounder had hurt him so bad that he
couldn’t run fast, an’ what does Susan
do but start on his trail. She could keep
him in easy sight, but couldn’t quite
come up with him.
“As it happened the wolf took a course
that brought him square to where t’other
wolves had ketched an’ tore my buck.
Soon as Susan sees the dead buck she’d
know’d what had happened, an’ the
bloody trail leading away from it, my
tracks on the trail, kind 0" sot her to
thinkin’, and she give up the wolf she
was chasin’ an’ took my trail. Conse-
kently she wa’n’t a widder, an’ we had a
jolly Chris’mas at Parks’s next day,
though we didn’t hev no nice fat deer to
give ’em for a present. Lord! what times
we did usety hev on that clearin’! An’
how astoundin’ Susan was!”

a. whirr and a scream. The woman made
a wild grab for her bonnet as it went

LINCOLN’S SECOND INAUGURAL.
An Imposing Scene During the Century’s
Greatest Crisis.
Noah Brooks,~in a series of personal
reminiscences of Lincoln in the Century,
describes the second inauguration of the
martyr president:
The day of Lincoln’s second inaugurw
tion, March 4, 1865, was as dark and
drizzly as the November day of his second
election. When the hour of noon ar‘
rived, great crowds of men and women
streamed around the Capitol building in
most wretched plight. The mud in the
city of Washington on that day certainly
excelled all the other varieties I have
ever seen before or since, and the great-
est test of feminine heroism—the spoiling
of their clothes—was amply to the credit
of the women who were so bedraggled
and drenched on that memorable day.
The only entrance to the Senate wing,
where the preliminary ceremonies were
held, was by the main or eastern portico,
the other entrances being used only by
privileged persons. .
Col. Forney. the secretary of the Sen—
ate, read the proclamation of the Presi-
dent convoking an extra session and
called the names ofthe members elect.
Thereupon the newly chosen senators
were sworn in, and the procession for the
inauguration platform, which had been
built on the east front of the Capitol,
was formed. There was a sea of heads in
the great plaza in front of the capitol as
far as the eye could reach, and breaking
in waves along its outer edges among the
budding foliage of the grounds beyond.
\Vhen the President and the procession
of notables appeared, a tremendous
shout, prolonged and loud, arose from
the surging ocean of humanity around
the Capitol building. Then the sergeant.-
at-arms of the Senate, the historic Brown,
arose and bowed, with his shining black
hat in hand, in dumb show before the
crowd, which thereupon became still, and
Abraham Lincoln, rising tall and gaunt
among the groups about- him, stepped
forward and read his inaugural address,
which was printed in two broad columns
upon a single page of large paper. As be
advanced from his seat, a roar of up
plause shook the air, and, again and
again repeated, finally died far away on
the outer fringe of the throng, like a
sweeping wave upon the shore. Just at
that moment the sun, which had been
obscured all day, burst forth in its un-
clouded meridian splendor, and flooded
the spectacle with glory and with light.
Every heart beat quicker at the unex-
pected omen, and doubtless not a. few
mentally prayed;that so might the dark
ness which had obscured the past four
years he now dissipated by the sun of
prosperity,
Till danger’s troubled night depart
And the star of peace return.
The inaugural address was received
with almost profound silence. Every word
was clear and audible as the somewhat
shrill and ringing tones of Lincoln’s
voice sounded over the vast concourse.
There was applause, however, at the
words, “both parties deprecated war, but
one of them would make war rather than
let the nation survive, and the other
would accept war rather than let it per-
ish”; and the cheer that followed these
words lasted long enough to make a con-
siderable pause before he added senten-
tiously, “and the war came.” There
were occasionally spurts of applause, too,
at other points along this wonderful ad-
dress. »
Looking down into the faces of the
people, illuminated by the bright rays of
the sun, one could see moist eyes and
even tearful cheeks as the good President
pronounced these noble words: “With
malice toward none, with charity for all,
with firmness in the right as God gives
us to see the right, let us strive on to flu-
ish the work we are in: to bind up the
nation’s wounds; to care for him who
shall have borne the battle, and for his
widow and his orphans; to do all which
may achieve and cherish a just and last-
ing peace among ourselves and with all
nations.” Among the memories of a life-
time, doubtless there are none more fond-
ly cherished by those who were so fort-
unate as to stand near Lincoln at that
historic moment than the recollection of
the beautiful solemnity, the tender sym-
pathy of these inspired utterances and
the rapt silence of the thronging multi.
tude.
THE MONRCE DOCTRINE.
Sound American Sentiment ‘vVhicli Has
Prevailed Since 1823.
In stirring times, when patriotic senti-
ments are revived, patriotic hopes re-
kindled and patriotic impulses predomi-
nant, it is well to recall the sage and
prophetic words of those early American
statesmen whose counsels have been fol-
lowed with honor, credit and advantage
to the republic.
President Monroe was elected in 1816,
and in 1820. he was re-elected. Chili de-
clared its independence of Spain in 1810,
Paraguay in 1811, Colombia, then includ-
ing Venezuela, in 1819, Mexico in 1821,
Peru in the same year, and Brazil revolt-
ed from .Portuguese domination in 1822.
The other States of South and Central
America, notably, Argentina, had fol-
lowed in the footsteps of the- United
States by freeing themselves from Eu-
ropean control, and the covert proposition
to re-establish it evoked from the Presi-
dent these never to be forgotten words,
part of his annual message to the Eight-
eenth Congress on Dec. 2. 1823:
, “W's owe it to candor and to the ami-
cable relations existing between the
United States and the allied powers, to
declare that we should consider any at-
tempt on their part to extend their sys-
tem to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety. With
the existing colonies or dependencies of
any EurOpean Power we have not inter-
fered, and shall not interfere; but with
the Governments which have declared
their independence_and maintained it,
and whose independence we have, on
great consideration and just principles,
acknowledged, we could not view an in-
terposition for oppressing them, or con-
trolling in any other manner their des-
tiny,'by any European power, in any
other light than as a manifestation of an
unfriendly disposition toward the United
States.”
.i
That is the Monroe Doctrine. Such was
the position not only of the President,
but also of the people of the United States
then.. Such is the position, positive and
irrevocable, of the people of the United
States now. The liberty of a sovereign
people, wrested from the tyranny of an
alien government or local despotism and
duly recognized by the United States,
cannot be interfered with afterward with-
out injnryto this republic. .
