Edua came out ut the woods, het

ber first visit that status, and as she
made her way to the road and statluued
herself beside the trolley track'% she
thought ut ,the dlffereuee last year,
when they had to drive uut from town
and the only sign of the trolley was a
group of men with fuuuy luuklug in-
struments working along the rued.
It war delightful to feel that thole
loug yellow cars brought town and
country Into such close uulou, and she
peered down the track fur the Bret sign
of the approacIlug'c'ur.
She had uuderrtuud that they rau
every ten minutes, but atter awhile she
grew tired aud sat ou u roc•L by the
roadway. It must be the very rock,
she redeeted, on wbicb she and Jack
had sat while they were welting fur
tbe wagon to come along.
Tbat bad been a year ago. •Tblugs
Lad changed since then. There had
beet a little misuaderstaudiug.\, and
Jack had left town for the west -to
forget.
Perhaps -If be were bere-sbe mlgat
-well, somehow the arbutus and tb
woods seemed to put things la a dif-
ferent light. She bad been a little
mean to Jack Mastery. It was the
first time she had admitted it, even to I
herself. If only Jaek knew!
Re engrossed did she berom. with '
her thoughts that It wag fully halt an
hour before she realized that In all
that time not • single car had pasted
In either directiou. - She glanced Imps- .
tlently up the track. It was not pleas-
ant to be alone on a country road with
the ghol'tt of the dead past. All the
wishing In the world would not bring
Jack- back.
A lumbering wagon creaked along,
and tbe driver reined his horses In be-
fore Ler.
"Waiting for the trolleyr be shout-
ed. Edna nodded.
"Likely to have a long waft," he
chuckled. "The power Louse 1s burn -

For a moment Edoa's heart sank. it

ha tpite of the memorlee that clus-

"The arbutus 1s thickest there," .be

A 1.1aeel■ Resslateeeaee.
When 111 the anomer of 1164 tbe Lin-
colns went to live In the cottage near
the Soldiers' bome outside Washington
the president was daily accompanied
on his drives to and from the White
House by his special mounted escort
of tall obloans. There wa's serious
need for tuck an escort, for Early was
not far away front the city, but the
dally journey sometimes had Its play-
ful gide. "The Magazine of American
Hlatory" quotes this reminiscence by
Lieutenant Ashman of the escort: "It
was In 111e early autumn of that year
when one morning on our ride In to the
White Ilouse. 'Tad' Llueoln, who
alone was riding with his father, de-
manded that the carriage be stopped
and that one of the escort should climb
a wayside tree and get him some per-
slmmous. Mr. I.foccht acquiesced, and
while the boy's wish was being grad -
fled the preefdent turned to those near-
est Lim and remarked upon some plow-
ing doing near by and ended by say-
ing: 'I hope to see the day when our
western prairies will be plowed by
steam, amt I believe it will be done. I
have alwny. telt a great Interest 1n
that subject.'"
No Cause For Aaslety.

to her mew nnnemald, "that you would

of affairs is about to be realized in
Port Arthur.

hospitable little city at the head of

1s forced to become familiar with the

He knows to a cent just how much pro-

explain between grins and chortles that
the rival town of Fort William six miles
away, Is helping to pay the taxes due
un Purt Arthur's real estate, because
the street railroad wta)h connects the
two towns of approtlmately the same
population Is owned by the municipality
of Port Arthur. Ther -fore, when a Fort
William resident pays rive cents to the
street car conductor he contributes a
mite to *very Individual taxpayer in the
rival town. That fact seems to tickle
the Pert Arthurlans to death. It you

above conditions thirteen time. it Is
considered remarkable by the natives.

Although the street railroad doesn't

are paid from the revenues derived
from Its waterworks, lighting plant.

investment by the municipality was
$150,000, and last year the net income
was 836,000. Of course 1t would be im-
possible to continue these proportional
figures if the city should grow to a
larger population, and it would be like-
wise Impossible in • city where mil-
lions were involved to have the officials
devote their entire time to enterprises

members of the railway and light com-

LITTLE DEED OF KINDNESS.
How Two Brokers' Clerks Helped •
Boy With Son Foot.
An example of real human kindness
and true philanthropy wag witnessed on
Colborne street, near Yungr, en Tues-
day when a barefooted seven-year old
newsboy crippling along calling his
wares between sobs was stopped by
John Flannery, a clerk to the employ
of Lorne Campbell & Co., say. The To-
ronto World. Mr. Flannery, noticing,
the little fellow suffering and subbing,
coaxed him Into Win. Watt's office at
No. $ Colborne street, where the super-
fluous dirt was washed from the lad's
foot and the heed of a blg rusty pin re-
vealed to View. The ball of the foot
was swollen and Inflamed and the news-
boy pleated with them not to touch R.
"It'a too sore, mister, don't touch
I1, will you?" •
Gently soothing the foot with the
}daggers Flannery worked closer and
closer to the ugly pin till soon Ire got
his Enters in position to grasp u In
a clinch, then, with a quick hard jerk
he extracted the inch and a quarter
poisonous sting much dike a dentist

little fellow let aphrfek of pain escape

out carrying with 1t much of the
fast forming pus. The two men then
bathed the wound, and Mr. Watt tied
his handkerchlef around the boy's fuut
gave him some money and directed him
to a drug store with a note for an anti-
septic to apply to the afflicted part.
"But 1 has to sell my papahs." swish el

"Go and get ibis }drat and then y'o'n
