She orders me to come at 7 o'clock this morning; `not before 7, nor yet After,' -was her words." "And you mune at 5." “Well, ma'am, you see I had another job at Squire Hardy's along the road. So, knowing as cook here mostly leaves the door on the latch, I tLought as I might slip in and do the chimbly on my way. But when I found the door lock- ed, I daren't ring -the bell at 5 in the morning—I naight ha' tried it an hour later—so I was obligated to wait." I understood it all now. Our exhor- tation to fasten up carefully that night had been duly obeyed by our cook, who, doubtless, intended to rise in time to admit the ,Sweep on this occasion. Graylands was a rambling old house, and the servants' slept in quite a differ- ent quarter from that occupied by our- selves,„and the nursery establishment, consequently they had esca,ped our noc- turnal alarm. But what a terribly "lame and impotent conclusion" to my deed of heroism. “You have given us all a great deal of alarm,',' I said severely to the unlucky Bates, acting on the proverbiallegal maxim, "No case; then abuse the plaintiff's attorney." “1 don't see as how I gave _alarm by waiting here on my honest business," replied the injured sweep sulkily. "And I'd like to know who's going to pay me for my cap as is spoiled by lolling ,sti the rand, and mybones is all shook into. a jelly, and my 'prentice as has been chased out of sight and. frightened 'moat into fits." At this junction the door opened and disclosed a group of servants, with Maggie, serene and smiling, at their head. “.kly darling Jane," she exclaimed, clasping me in her arms, "I have only just heard what an alarm yo have But then, my dear girl, whylid,you not wake me? I could have told &ou we expected the sweeps this morning. I suppose, however, you were too frighten- ed to think it raight be only Bates." This was too ranch. Maggie, timid "Maggie, to be preaching coolness and presence of mind to me ! And yet what an egregious goose I had been! Hind little Maggie saw my look of mortification, and kissing me again, whispered: "Dear, brave, unselfish Jane, you only thought of saving us all from danger. I am sure few girls would have done what you did.3'' Peace was made with Bates by means of an excellent breaktast, which cook improvised on the spot for the sweeps and gainekeepers, and I emptied, my purse in "tips, ' for very shame. But, of course, the absurd story travelled abroad, and all the neighborhood heard that I had run two miles in the airiest of costumes because the sweeps had had come rather earlier than we expected. I am afraid my reputation for good sense hardly stood high in the vicinity of G-raylands. The actual thieves Were taken a few days afterward, and tlais fact, added to the absurdity of our—or rather my—false alarm, effectually cur- ed A.Igie of her tprrors. We were better friends from that night. ,I beam]. to see tleat the most sensible folks are liable toloose their head under the influence of panic, and that I was, after all, not so much Wiser than my neighbors—impressions that doubtless faade roe a more agreeable companion than I had been heretofore. Maggie, on her side. was all gratitude for my well -meant, if mistaken, zeal, and 1 date the beginning of k friendship. that has brightened many years of my life from the adventures of that Decem- ber night.—C. L., in the Argosy. • - A Brakeman's Opinion of Churches. On the road ?lace more, with Leban- on fading in the distance, the fat pas- senger drumming idly on the window pane, the cross 'passenger sound asleep, and the tall, thin passenger reading "General Grant's Tour Around. the World," all d wondering why "G-reen's August --Prower" should be printed above the doors of "A Buddhist Tem- ple at Benares." To me cornes the brakeman, and seating hiroself on the arm ofthe seat says: "I went to church yesterday." • - "Yes," I said, with that interested in- flection that asks for more. "And what. church did you attend ?" "Which do you guess ?" he asked. "Some union mission church," I hazarded. "Naw,Thhe said. "I don't like to run on these branch roads very much. I don't ofeu go to church, and when I do, I want to run on the main line, where your run is regular and you go on schedule time and don't have to wait on connections. I don't like to run on a lifarich. Good enough, but I don't like it." "Episcopal?" I guessed. "Limited express," he said; all pal- ace cars and 12 extra for a seat; fast time, and only stop at the big stations. Nice line, but too expensive for a brakeman. All train men in uniform, conductor's punch and lantern silver- plated, and no train boys allowed. Then the passengers are allowed to talk back at the conductor, and it mah-es them too free and easy. No, I couldn't stand the palace cars. Rich road, though. Don't often hear of a receiver being appointed for that line. Some mighty nice people 4ave1 on it, too." . "Universalist ?" I suggested. "Broad guaee," said the brakeman, "does too mucl complimentary busi- ness. Everybody travels on a pass. - Conductor doesn't get a fare once in fifty miles. Stops at all flag stations, and won't run into an3 thing but a union depot. No smoking -car on the train. Train orders are vague, though, and the trainmen don't get alonabwell with the passengers. No, I don't go to the Uni- versalist, though I know some awfully good men who run 011 that road." "Presbyterian?" I asked. "Narrow-ebuage, eh ?" said the brake- man, "pretty track, straight as a rule; tunnel right through a mountain rather than go around. it; spirit -level grade; passengers have to show their tickets before they get on the train. Mighty strict road, but the cars a little narrow; have to sit one in a seat and no room in the aisle to dance. Then there's no stop -over tickets allowed; got to go straight through to the station you're ticketed for, or you can't get on at all. When the car's full, no extra coaches; cars built at the shops to hold just so many, and nobody else allowed on. But you don't often hearsof an accident on that road. It's run right up to the rules." "Maybe you joined the free -thinkers," I said. "Scrub road," said the brakeman, "dirt road bed and no ballast; no time card And no train dispatcher. All trains run wild, and every engineer makes his own time, just as he pleases. Smokerif you want to; kind of go -as - you -please. Too many side tracks and every switchwide open all the titne, with the switchman Sound asleep and 'the target lamp dead out. Get on as you please and get off when you want to. Don't have to show your tickets, and the conductor isn't expected to do anything but amuse the passengers. No, sir, I was offered a pass, but I don't like the line. I don't like to travel on a. road that has no terminus, Do you know, sir, I asked a division superin- tendent where that road run to, ,tkia 0.„ he said he hoped to die if he kneW. I asked him if the general superintendent could tell me, and he said he didn't be- lieve they had a general superinten- dent, and if they had he didn't know any more about the road than the pas- sengers. I asked him who he reported to, and he said. nobody. I asked a con- ductor who he got his orders from, and he said he didn't take orders from any living man or dead ghost. And when I asked the engineer who he got his or- ders from; he said he'd like to fee any- body give him orders; he'd run the train to suit himself or he'd run it into the ditch. Now, you see, sir, I'm -a railroad man, and I don't care to run on a road that has no time, makes no connections, runs nowhere and has no superintendent. It may be all right, but I've rai/ roaded too long to under- stand it." "Did yo 1 try the Methodist ?" I said. "Nowy ou're shouting," he said with - some er thusiasm. "Nice road, eh? Fast tiu e and plenty of passengers. Engine 3 carry a power of steam, and don'ty ou forget it; steam-guage shows a bur dred and enough all the time. Lively road; when the conductor shou ts 'all aboard,' you can hear him at the next station. Every train -lamp shines like a head -light. Stop -over checks given on all through tickets; passengers can drop off the traiii as often as they like, do the station two or three days and hop on the next re- vival train that comes thundering along. Good, whole-souled, compan- ionable conductors; ain't a road in the' country where the passengers feel more at home. No passes; every passenger pays full traffic rates for his ticket. Wesleyan -house air -brake on all trains, too; pretty safe road, but I did'nt ride over it yesterday." "Maybe you went to the Congrega- tional church," I said. -liPopular road," said the brakeman, "an old, road, too ;'esne of the very old- est in this countti. Good road bed and comfortable cars. Well managed road, too; directors don't, interfere with di- vision superintendents and train orders. Road's mighty popular, but it's pretty independent, too. See, didn't one of the division superintendents down East discontinue'one of the oldest stations on this line twoor three years ago? But it is a mighty pleasant road to travel on. -Always has such a pleasant class of passengei s." “Perhaps you cried the Baptist ?" I guessed once me: - "Ah, ah I" sail the brakeman, "she's a daisy, isn't she? River road, beauti- ful curves, sweep around anything to keep close to the river, but it's all steel -and rock ballast, single tract 'all the way and not a single side-track from the round -house to the terminus. Takes a heap of water to run it through; double tanks at every station, and there isn't an engine in the shops that.can pull a pound or run a mile in less than two guages. But it runs through a lovely country ;. these river roads always do; river on one side and hills on the other, and it's a steady climb up the grade all the way .till the run ends where the fountain -head of the river begins. Yes, sir, I'll take the river road every time for a lovely trip, sure connections and good time, and'no praine dust blowing in at the windows:, And yesterday when the conductor came around for the tickets with a little basket punch, I didn't ask -him to pass me, but I paid _my fare like a little man—twenty-five cents for an hour's run and a little con- ert by the passengers throwed in. I ell you, Pilgrim, you take the river read when you want But just here the long whistle froth the epgine announced a station, and the brakeman hurried to the door, shouting: "Zionsville! This train makes no stops between here and Indianapolis." She Kept Cats. By Thomas Freeman. One evening I was in Musher's gro- cery store, speaking with one of the clerks, when a lady came in and asked the proprietor if he would trust her for some goods for a few days. The lady was well dressed, and I was rather surprised when, after asking her where she lived, where she _had been trading and the like, he asked— "Do you keep dogs?" The lady looked somewhat astonish- ed at this question, but as she was anxious to open an account at the estab- lishment, she answered— "How many ?" asked the grocer. only one." The lady got her goods and de- parted, after which Musher said to me— "Do you know that woman ?'? "No sir; I do not." "Did you hear me ask her if she kept dogs?" , "Well you know why I asked her that ?" - "I am sure I do not." "Well, sir, this is the rule I go by. If a person keeps only one dog I am pret- ty sure of my pay. On his recom- mendation I trust them one week, if they keep two, only three days, but if they keep three dogs I wouldn't open an account with them if they owned half of the town." Some time after this incident I was in the same store -when Blusher was propounding about the same questions to another applicant for credit. After he had gone I asked— - - "How about the lady who kept the dog ?" Did she prove to be a good customer ?" "Hardly," was the brief reply. "But she had only the one dog?" "Yes, she had but one dog," replied the grocer, as if stirred up by unpleas- ant memories, "but When the week was up I went down to her place and I found that she kept as many as forty oats, and forty cats will eat as much and more tlaan three dogs. Thoughtful. Excited and anxious patient—Doctor, I do wish you'd tell: me what's the matter with me • I'm, clear out of sorts this morning, anI'm afraid I'm going to be down sick. What is the matter with me ? Doctor (gravely)—Let me see your tongtie. Patient thrusts it out. What have you been eating? Patient (reflecti iely) —Welt, I was out late last night, and. had it bit of supper at midnight, oysters, raw and. stewed, lobster salad, cold tongue, pressed chicken, curds and cream, coffee, some fruit cake, alittle cheese, and a handful of hickory nuts. Doctor (doubtfully)—Let me see your tongue again. . isooks at it thoughtfully, then in au- thoritative tones: "Ah, yes,I see ; you've been eating something that doesn't agree with you." Rather Good.. A young preacher on his first charge received a donation, to be put on salary according -to the usual custom. Among the effects were an old horse and buggy. The young divine was most highly pleased with them; so he concluded to go and see his father. The old gentle- man was not So easily imposed on as the boy. John drove up into the yard with great gusto. The father looked at the animal and then at John. "John, where did you get that horse ?" queried the father. "Why, father, my parishioners gave it to me." The old gentleman laughed mysteri- ou sly. "Father, I don't think you ought \to make fun of that horse. It is a good deal better one than our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on over eighteen hun- dred years ago." "Well," replied the father, "I don't know, John; I think it is the same old horse." The Barnum Fountain. In view of the hitch in regard to the water supply of the fountain which P. T. Barnum has presented to the Seaside Park, the following is quite apropos: A citizen laughingly said to Mr. Bar- num the other day: "Mr. Barnum, you had better throw half of your southern lawn into the park, and that will save the trouble of moving the fountain." To which Barium good-naturedly replied. "I once knew a very crazy man in Bethel, who, addressing his wealthy father-in-law, said, 'My hogs are starv- ing, and I have nothing to feed them with.' My corn lot is close by; you are welcome to pick all your hogs need,' was the reply. always use my corn ready ground,' was the reply of the shiftless son-in-law. So the pigs got 110 corn." The citizen said he hadn't thought of that, but he took the joke, however. A Mine -Owner's Mista4e. A man now a prominent merchant of Virginia City won at poker an un- developed gravel claim near Nevada City, worth in the neighborhood of two hundred dollars. His friends had the laugh on him for several days regarding his "investment," and asked him what proportion of the taxes wOuld he pay in case they accepted the property as a gift. He finally got mad. at their incessant guying, and;told them he was not such a fool as they took him for before he got through with that mine. He then wrote to some capitalist ac- quaintances that he had a claim worth a fabulous sum, which he would sell for $2,000, being hard. pressed financially. The bank was next visited, $500 worth of gold. dust and nuggets bought, and the claim thoroughly "salted." When the intending purchasers arrived they prospected the ground a little, and the panning -out was attended by big clean- ups. They paid the $2,009 the same day, and got possession of the ground. Work was at once begue, and they took out $8,000 inside of three weeks. The "salter was so taken aback that he did not mine for a month, and the parties to whom he confided his shrewdness at the time of its perpetration never meet -him to this day but they ask him if he has_another gravel mine tcssell. Another Real Romance. Many ye'ars ago there was a young fellow mimed Bigelow sent Ly his father to Yale College. The father was very rich, and the youngster lived in grand style at the University. Sud- denly the old gentleman broke and had to withdraw his son from college. The boy, however, felt the necessity of an education, and determined to have one anyhow. He, therefore, went to work and learnetha trade as a machinist. While he was at work his old associates cut him and refused to have anything to do with him. The young ladies with whom he had been a great favorite fail - to recognize him when they met. One day when he was going from his work he met a wealthy young lady who had been his friend. He had his tin dinner bucket over his aim, and supposed she would eut him as all the rest had done. She snailed pleasantly, addressed him as " Tom," and insisted that he should call and' see her as he hakl always done. She said," There is nb change in you as far as I am concerned." The years rolled on. The young work -boy became immensely wealthy, and is now the Mayor of New Haven, with an income of $100,000 a year, and owner of a factory in which 1,500 men and women are employed. The young girl grew to womanhood and married. Her husband borrowed. a large sum of money from. Mr. Bigelow, and died before he had paid it, leaving his family With but little property. Mr.. Bigelow sent her with his condolence, a receipted note for her husband's indebtedness; and now the son of Bigelow, the millionaire, is going to marry the daughter of the one woman who was faithful and true to the young working -boy at college.
