Groff could get out of the way it dashed directly into ilie plunging horses. The collision was terrific. Some of tile boys were thrown clear oyer the sleigh, several feet down the hill. The most of them, however, wrere piled in a heap among the wreck of the sleighs and horses. One lad lived only a few seconds after being picked up.

Several were rendered insensible, being dangerously injured, and all were more or less hurt. One of the horses was killed. C. S. UTTER, Publisher.

The house was gloomy and silent, and its emptiness depressing. I went into the dark among tlie scenes again, and for an hour and a half gave myself up to the horrors, wholly unconscious of everything else. Then I heard a murmur; it rose higher and higher, and ended in a crash, mingled with cheers. It fnadh my lidir riSe; it was so close to me and so loud. There was a pause, and then another; presently came a third, and before I well knew what I was about I xvas intlie middle of the stage, staring at a sea of faces, bewildered by the fierce glai of lights, and quaking in every limb with a terror that seemed like to take my life away.

The house was full aisle and all The tumult in my heart, and brain, and legs continued a full minute before I could gain any command over myself. Then 1 recognized the charity, and the friendlinbsslu the faces before me, and little by little my fright melted away, and I beg tin to talk. Within three or four minutes I was comfortable, and even content. My three chief allies, with three auxiliaries, were on hand, in the parquet te, all sitting together, all armed ith bludgeons, and ready to make an onslaught on the feeblest joke that might show its head. And henever a joke did fall, their bludgeons came doNvn and tlieir faces seemed sjolit from ear to ear.

Sawyer, whose hearty countenance was seen looming redly in tlie center of tlie second circle, took it up, and the house was carried handsomely. Inferior jokes never fared so royally before. Presently I delivered a bit of serious matter, with impressive unctioii (it was my pet), and the audience listened with an ab-: sorbed liusli that gratified me more than any applause; and as I dropped tlie last word of the clause I hapjiened to turn and catch Mrs. intent and waiting eve: my conversation witli her Hashed ujnoiI me, and in Spite of all I could do I smiled. She took it for the signal, and promptly delivered a mellow laugh that touched off tlie whole audience, and the cxjilosion that followed was tlie triumph of tlie evening! I thought that that honest man Sawyer would choke himself; and as for tlie bludgeons, they jierfonned like pile-drivers.

But my poor lit tic morsel of jiatlios was ruined. It was taken in good faith as an intentional joke, and tlie prize one of the entertainment; and I wisely let it go at that. All the pajiers were kind in the morning; my ajipetite returned; I had abundance ot money. Alls well that ends well. Platform of tlie National Labor Re form Party.

I was home again, in San Francisco, without means and without employment. I tortured my brain for a saving scheme of some kind, and at last a jiublic lecture occurred to me'! I sat down and wrote one in a fever of anticipation.

I showed it to several friends, but they all shook their heads. They said nobody would come to hear me, and I would make a humiliating failure of it. They said that as I had never spoken in jniblic I would break down in the delivery, anyhow. I was disconsolate now. But at last an editor slapped me on tlie back and told mo to He -ajd, Take tlie largest house in town, and charge a dollar a ticket.

The audacity of the proposi tion was charming it seemed fraught with practical worldly wisdom, however. The proprietor of tlie several theatres endorsed the advice, and said I might have his handsome new opera house at. half price fifty dollars. In sheer desperation I took it on credit, for sufficient reasons. In three days I did a hundred and fifty dollars worth of printing and advertising, and was.

tlie most distressed and frightened creature on tlie Pacific coast. I could not sleep n1io could under such circumstances For other people there Nvas facetiousness in the line of my posters, hut to me it was plaintive with a Jiang when I wrote it Doors open at oclock. The trouble will begin at 8. That line has done good service since. I have seen it ajipended to a liewsjiajiu advertisement, reminding school jnquls in vacation wlml time next term would begin.

As those three days of suspense dragged by I grew more and more tin-lnippy. I hail sold two hundred tickets among my personal friends, hut I feared they might not come. My lecture, which had seemed humorous to me at first, grew steadily more and more dreary, till not a vestige of fun seemed left, and I grieved that I could not bring a coffin on the stage and turn the thing into a funeral. I was so jianic stricken at last that I went to three old friends, giants in stature, cordial by nature, and stormy-voiced, and said: This thing is going to he a failure; tlie jokes in it are so dim that nobody will ever see them. I would like to have you sit in the parquette and help me through.

They said they would. Then I went to the wife of a popular citizen, and said that if she was willing to do me a ver great kindness I would be glad if she and her husband would sit jiromincntiy in the left hand stage box, where tlie whole house could sec them. I exjdained that I should need help, and would turn toward-hcr and smile, as a signal, when I had been delivered of an obscure joke and then, I answered, dont wait to investigate, hut resjiond! She jiromiscd. I town the street I met a man I had never seen before. He had been drinking, find was beaming with smiles and good nature.

lie said My name is Sawyer. You don't know me, lmt that dont matter. I havent got a cent, lmt if yon knew how bad I anted to laugh, youd give me a ticket. Come, now, what do you say? Is you laugh hung on a hair-trigger tliat is, is it critical, or can it git off easy My drawling infirmity of speech so af fecteil him that he laughed a specimen or two, that struck me as being about the article I xvanted, and I gave him a ticket, and ajNjiointcd him to sit in the second circle, in the center, and be responsible for that division of the house. I gave him minute instructions about Lonv to detect indistinct jokes, and then went away and left him chuckling placidly over the novelty of the idea.

I ate nothing on the last three eventful days I only suffered. I had advertised that on the third day the office would be opened for the sale of reserved seats. I crept down to tlie theater at four in the afternoon, to see if any sales had been made. The ticket-seller was gene; the box-office wa- locked up, I to -wallow suddenly or my heart would have got out. No sales, I said to myself.

I might have known it. I thought of suicide, pretended illness, flight. I thought of these tilings in earnest, for I was cry miserable and seared. But of cour-e I had to drive them away, and prepareto meet my fate. I could not wait for lia'f-pa-t seven; I wanted to face the horror and end it the feeling of manv a man doomed to he hung, no doubt.
