Four bay horses dashed in fine style up bathe door of an inn, pulling behind there the gorgeons red stage, which swayed and reeled and rooked in a fash- ion that made the more nervous passen- gers wince and shiver. Hollister threw his reins to the stable boy and went into the house. He was a bluff, big hated fellow—rather rough- lookieg in his wolfailtin overcoat and broad visored, cap. Nobody ever doubt- ed the kindness of heart under that un- polished exteeior, however. Now, as he traraped through the big hall on his way to the bar ,roorn, he paused at the, sight of a female figure in one dim earner, with her face drop- ped in both hands, and her whole at- titude one of Sorrow and. despair. The figure was slender and young, clad ina well worn grey suit, and the hands on which the brawn bead was bowed were white and 4e1iettte. - “I beg year pardon, ma'am. Are you in trouble. Can I be of service to you." , Then the girl looked up, and Hollis- ter recognized the daughter Of a man who had been at the inn for some weeks a man whom he driver had no hesita- tion in clasairan adventurer as aadventurer and blackleg. He had pitied the girl on that night when he had. h ret seen her—when he had, brought them out from the city; for she seemed a lady, with her quiet ways and wistful eyes, and not at all fitted for a life of Bobiemianisiii such as her father was leading her. She looked tip, and meeting the ex- pression of hoeest kindliness in Frank Hollister's clear grey. eyes, she strug- gled a moment for self contral and then burst into teats. Frank squared his broad shoulders before her in order to screen her from - the ClitiOUS gaze of any one who might pass through the hall, and waited in silence. Presently the girl raised her head once more, looked at him with tear- stained eyes, and said with quivering lips: , "I an. in treuble sir. Yours are the first friendly'ords I have heard. to. day. My fathe r"—here a crimson flush dyed her fair brow—"my father has left me; wheee he has gone I do not know. I am absolutely alone here among strangers, and our hotel bill is not paid." For one instant Frank looked at her doubtfully, and then with a sudden rush of self -shame and chivalry, his hand went into his breast pocket and drew therefrom a big leather pocket -book. The girl made a little indignant ges- fture,and looked him with wide -opened, haughty eyes. : Sir, I scarcely expected an in- sult!" Whereupon Frank began a hurried and indignant repudiation of her in- sinuation. He insult a woman! He who had a mOther and the sweetest little sister in the world, away off there in the Eastern States, praying for him. : "Perhaps I ain't so dainty in my choice of words as I might be, lady. I &rough feIlovVat beat; but I'm dread- ful soft-hearted where a woman is con- cerned. If you choose to look on me as a friend. and a straight man— one that never goes_ back on his word—yon shan't be disappointed. Now then, how can I serve yon.." "Forgive meek ; I know that you are all that yott seem. I cannot accept any pecuniary aid from you or any one. The landlord has offered me a situation as table girl, I:shall accept it, and in that wary can, pay our indebtedness. Thanks for your kindness. I shall not forget it." With a littleflitting smile she slipped past him, and Wenc, swiftly up the dark stairway, while the driver proceeded to the ,bar -room,, where the men were talking, laughing, smoking and drink- ing. Her Hostiller listened to a detailed account of the disappearance of Colonel Pressy, intersPersed with various com- ments concerning him and his daughter Cora. Prosily was stigmatized as a cheat, a villain and a sponge — anything and everything they calleil him but an hon- est man. There were' some expressions of sympathy for the girl, but it was easy to see she was not liked. Miss Pressy held hetself too far aloof from tamp one in the house too win the ap- proval of this free and easy- Western commtmity. One loutish looking fellow, leaning against the bar rail, remarked with a sneering grin : ' "That gal's a mighty stnok up little critter—reckon she won't put on any more airs with me !" And he sent a stream of tobacco juice in a, very skilful mannner straight into the mouth of a spawn which occupied the centre of the room. Hollister, who had. been silently Ii - toning until now, croesed leisurely over to this extraortlimaryi marksman, and striking him a light blow on the shoulder, said evenlY. and thstinotly : "Look here, Jerry, you don't want to talk any more like that about Miss Pressy." e "Going to marry her, Frank?" "I expect to," replied Frank coolly,as he turaed.to select a cigar from the case. There were no more insinuations against Cora Pressy in his hearing. The da,ughter otan unknowie adventurer, no matter how thorough a lady she might be, and the sweetheart of the jolly, keen -eyed, strong armed stage driver were two different persons, and, when the lonely girl entered upon her new duties the next day, she was surprised at the kindness and consideration of all about her. Frank did not try to weaken the im- pression which, his words had made. He knew that it would be her surest protection; that he felt an intense desire to help and protect her,— she was so delicate and sorrowful, so ab- solutely alone, now that her natural parent had deserted her. Two or three uneventful days went by, Cora filling her new 'situation with satisfattory premptness. Every night, on the, arrival of Hollister's stage, she was left to wait upon him in the dining - room. She felt instinctive confidence in this big, bluff, sunburnt fellow.- There was a bond of sympathy growing between thorn which .she had no desire to break. One day, twenty miles: down his route, Frank heard a, bit of knows which worked him into a fever Of im- patience. Never had the whip curled so sharply over the heels of his sturdy hoses: never had he made lbetter time then on that day, when it seemed to him but a snail's pace. , At last, however, the stage drew up before the inn, whotte roof sheltered the girl, who in a few short , days, had greaten inexpressibly dear to the driver. He held a hurried consultation with the hostler, which resulted in the latter ageeeing to drive the stage on to its destination for a certain sum of money. Then Frank went into the long dining room, and seating himself at one of the long tables in a secluded corner, he waited for Cora Presey. He flushed to; the roots of his crispy, curling brown hair as he smiled at her. She noticed dt, and wondered silently; thinking meanwhile, that he was not a bad -looking fellow,with his broad brow, honest eyes and firm lips. • "Miss Cora," he said rather awkward- ly, "I would like to have you ride with me this evening if you will. I have something of importance to tell you," he added hurriedly, growing redder_than ever with embarrassment. Cora looked at him wistfully. Was it something about her father? But she dared not put the thought into words—there were too many about. So she merely bowed her head in accep- tance of the invitation and went away. 1 Hall an hour later she was tucked in- to a trim little cutter beside him, dash- ing along over the moonlit road, and waiting anxiously for him to reveal the matter of importance to which he • had hinted. • But Frank was curiously silent for a long while. It seemed to Cora that he would never speak. At last with a sud- den effort he said: "Miss Cora, you have known me only a few days, but you have seen enough of me to know that I am a blunt spoken fellow, so I hope yon won't be upset by what I am going to say. I am not much of a gentleman, but I ha,vn't -any very bed habits, and make a fair living, and—and—well, I want a wife, little gal, and I love you. If , you will have me I'll do my prettiest to make you the happiest woman in the country." Cora smiled up at him throqh the tear-filled eyes, and this gave him cour- age to slip one arm over the back of the cutter and draw her closer to his side. She murmnred something about be- ing almost an entire stranger to him ; but Frank, grown Wonderfully bold, pressed with his lips the lids over the girls dark eyes and queried: "Do you love another man ?" "No" she answered honestly enough, "I believe you are the best man I ever knew." Whereupon Freak kissed leer again, upon the thin lips this time, and made a afraid proposition, to which at first she would not listen. But the will and energy of her earnest hearted wooer carried the day, and the result was a call upon a justice of the peace. And when they re-entered the inn that night the ,girl was Cora Pressy no longer, but Cora Hollister, and Frank's face was radiant and triumphant. In the dingy waiting -room an excited crowd wits gathered. Frank endeavored to hurry his wife past the doorway, but her quick glance had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. "Father," she cried, and stepped into the room. Yes, there he was, haggard and dis- heveled, with blood -shot eyes and un- shaven face. He might have been fine- looking once. There was just the ghost of a debonair look about him still, des- pite his wretchedness. An officer guard- ed him on either side. "What has he done ?" cried Cora with pallid lips. Some one in the crowd answeied bru- tally enough: a brother gambler twenty miles back. Tkey are taking hire through to the city." Then the poor little bride went into a dead faint in her husband's arms,and he carried her up stairs with his brown cheek against her white one. All night he watched beside her while she went from one deathly swoon into another. At last, in the grey morning, she smiled sadly into her husband's eyes and whispered: "Do not be troubled, I will go away." "Not if I can help it," answered Frank, with a grim set of his under lip. Then all at once he put his face down on the pillow beside her, and began to cry like a two year old baby. With her slender hand she stroked the man's big curly head, aid talked to him in a sweet, weary way that went straight to his warm heart. "Dear friend" she said. "I know how unselfish you are, bat I will not allow you to make a sacrifice. You shallnot share my shame." “Loek here, little woman, I knew all about thie affair yesterday; that is the reason I was in such a rush to get married. I knew they would bring Col. Pressy through here, and I knew that if I did not make sure of you theu that I never should get you. My little darling wife," he went on, kissing her hair and eyes and lips; "thank God nothing can separate us—nothing but death." And looking into her husband's eyes, Cora knew that here was her, safe home and shelter far evermore. My reader would set me down as an unsatisfactory story -teller were I to omit the sequel. Col. Presser committed suicide a • month later in his cell. Frank took his little wife away to his eastern home, where she lives a con- tented little 'patron, proud a,nd happy in her husband's love, and the possess- ion of a bright cooing boy. A Drummer's Brilliant Idea. Some people seem born witk a faculty of raising the ancient masculine juvenile. They get folks who are minding their own business and mere- ly want peace and quiet, into all sorts of scrapes. This faculty is peculiarly developed in the commercial totirist, usually referred to as a drummer. He's the man who makes love to all the pretty servant girls inthehotels, and gets their notions so high that they won't notice the porters, and it make e the latter -want to "sing" the drummers. One of this class of gentlemen was at an up -country railway station some days ago, and discovered, while waiting for a train a wasp's n*. An idea at once struck him. How he achieved the feat without getting hurt we don't know. Probably the wasps wwere dor- mant with cold. But at any rate he got the nest down and tied it to the tap of a yellow dog that was fooling Eteeund the depot,. The dog started to run, and that so stirred up the wasps that they sent out a courier to investi- gate, and as he did so in a manner dis- agreeable to the dog he only ran the harder, and made three wild circuits of the depot. The train meanwhile came in, and as trains dont stop long at country stations, it was just starting"as the dog came, rount the third time. Wild with pain the dog leaped aboard the train and plunged into a crowded car just as the barkemau closed the door. The brute got beneath a seat and tried to curl up. The car was hot and it warmed up the wasps and. they came out, and in about half a minute the men in -that seat jumped up so hard that they nearly stove holes in the roof, and the way they clawed at their legs was a caution. Everybody looked. Then others became interested, and the dog started on the run through the car. The wasps went for him and for every person in the car. A. wild scene took place. Men clawed wildly. Women got up on the seats and danced, and the dog, which everybody thought to be mad, tore up and dOwn the aisle howl- ing. The conductor eatue, in thinking the people insane. He promptly joined the show. As the train was flying folks ceuldn't jump off. No mad house ever saw such a scene. There was profanity enough to sink a ship, and the brake- man gazing in at the door, said it beat _anything he ever saw at a variety show. Finally the conductor stopped the train, folks got out, and the oar was clear of wesps and dog. But the passengers ditl'nt get over it. They were an awful rnad set, and oecassionelly after they got started again a man l would find a stray wasp in his elothee and raise a yell. They talked sf suing the rail- road, and if they could have got that drunemer his death wotild have been frightful. But he had. lone on another train another way. • , Sknall Beginnings -s --Great De- velopments. In contemplating all the works of Nature, 'the most striking fact every- where apparent is the small beginning of her grandest productions. The towering oak bega.n,as a small acorn, and the largest animal as a mere speck whieh a pin's head would cover. It is very frequently the same in the busy welks of ' life—great' wealth or great distinction often _emerges from the smallest, the • humblest beginnings. Among our merchant princes how many instances could we not recount in illustration of our theme? There is one, however, whose career, as reported to ns, is one of the neost remarkable in modern times. Some forty years ago, the name of Thomas Holloway_was un- known, unheard of. He was only one ofthe multitude, each of which eclipses his neighbor, and is in turn eclipsed. Bit now, owing to the eminently suc- cessful medical theery and medicines which he has invented and introduced, his name is known in every town of the United Kingdom, and in almost evety town and city of the habitable globe. The late king of Siam not only con. stntly ordered Holloway's Medicines, islet even directed his ambassadors when over here to visit the Professor at his establishment. This they did in one of the Queen's carriages, and presented him with a large and magnificent jewelled ornament of a great price in the name of the king. Rajahs of In. die have in a like manner frequently vieited Professor Holloway; so has the secretary of the famous Sir Jamsetiee Jeejeebhoy, who was knighted by the Queen. Other foreign princes have thbught proper to inspect the famous establishment, whence their subjects had obtained their moat approved Med- icines, and one of them wrote an auto- graph letter in Peesian and Hindo- stenee, that it might' be shown and pub- lished throughout India as a mark of the appreciation in hi oh the remedies were held by his Highness. Thus is the career of Thomas Holloway—one of the striking instances of a great devel- opment from small beginnings.—The Alan 4bout Town. 1 A Rich Soil. i"How is the soil in Kansas ?" asked one of the group as the traveller pa,;used. 'Richest in the world, sir," was the reply. "I know a New York State man who went to Kansaa seven years ago with only $15 in cash, and he is now .worth $20,000. "Whew What did he raise princi- pally?" PI believe it was a cheque, sir ; but thereouldn't exactly' prove it on him 1 Tlikink of a soil that will raise a bank cheque for $190 to $19,000, and in a backwardseasonat that !"—Ex. • • Education.

He must know a'most everything now 1" Parson—"Thirteen, Mrs. Napper. Why, that's nothing. I didn't finish my education till 'I was three -and - twenty 1" : Country woman–e"Lor', sir! You don't mean to say you were such' a 'thiekhead' as that !" Ponsonby -de Tompkins. "That lady was evidently intended by nature for a Chinese, Sir Charles! I wonder who she can be ?" Sir Charles :—"She happens to be my sister Lady Plantagenet de la Zouche. May I ask why you think nature intended her for a Chinese?" Mrs. Ponsonby de TOnakyns (equal, ain usual, to the emergency): "She struck me as having: such exquisitely small feet !" A• Fortunate Father. An Austin father complained bitterly of the way his children destroyed their clothing. He aid:s "When I was a boy I had one snit of lothes and I had to take care of it. I was only allowed one pair of shoes a year in those days." There was a patise, and then the oldest boy spoke up and said: "I say, dad, you haVe a mach easier time of it now—you are living with REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
