MRS. BUSBY'S IPOLS. (New York Observer.) Mr. Joseph Busby eyed the sky as he leisurely walked from the barn -to the fiouse. The morning sun was veiled by a fleecy mist, while low in thaiouth-west a bank of dark grey clouds was Visible. After his prolonged scrutiny, Mr. Busby pondered the matter. It was not until he had washed his hands and face 'en the back kitchen porch and enteeed the 'room where his wife was taking up, the breakfast, that he said : "Pears like it might rain,' • That is what you always see, if there's a cloud in the sky,' Mrs. Busby said tartly; thank you to lift that boiler on, just the same.' Goen to wash ? It's most certain to ram.' it -ram. I haven't any patience with such weather.,' and Mrs. Busby rushed down cellar after a pitcher of cream. Her husband never hurried. He put the boiler carefully on the stove, built up a geed fire, and, in obediencoto a gesture from his wife, took his place at the table. Mr. Busby always thought. before he spoke. This -time, after a brief but earnest blessing, ,he devoted himself to' ham, eggs and potatoes for five minutes- before saying in his usual drawling voice : That was a powerful sermon of the elder yisterday, Mirandy. I always thought that text about Ephraim bein' jined to his idols might apply to some of us. Mast everybody has idols of some sort or other.", Mrs. Busby stirred • her golden brown coffee reflectively. Perhaps so. I, hope the people who iaeeds it took Mr. Ranton's fine application. As for me, I once had an idol, but God took it.' There was a pause. The thoug its of both husband and wife travelled to he parlor,' where hung the picture of a c ild, a wee maiden with laughing blue- eyes and dim- pled arms. It was the pictur of little Leah, their only child, whose death twenty years before had left the old far home des- olate. . Mr. Busby's heart was too de ply stirred by memeries of his child to speak. But when a dash of rain came agains the win- dow- pane, his wife exclaimed cro sly : ,‘ There, it's raining. And if I • on't wash on Mooday, nothing goes rig t all the week.' ''Tain't an idol, is it, Mira dy ?' The good man of the house pushed back from the table. Now, it dont seem jest right to be sot as you air on don you work ex- actly as you want to. It 'pear t me it might be an idol.' What an idea ! Just look there,- oseph. See that dirty spot on the tablecloth where you've rubbed your old coat sleeve This tablecloth was clean yesterday morn ng, and now it muse go in thewash, makinc three this weein I do wish you. would e more careful.' Why, now, Mirandy, I do tryi to be careful. I wish you would use colored tablecloths. I thought, you bought some turkey red men' . Yes, I did buy them,' and a look of dis- gust crossed the face opposite Mr. Bueby. 'But I want it 'understood I am not going to use 'em. I will work my fingers to the bone before I'll set mytable with anything but a white cloth,' and she stroked the glossy linen approvingly. I know, Mil -Beady, but maybe that's an- other idol, You see, you think a sight of such things.' Now, Joseph Busby, if you are going to talk such nonsense as that you had better get to work. Just see there. The sun is shining-. So you see it was right for me to wash after all.' " /slaybe so,' and the eyes, of the simple - hearted man softened as he looked through the east window at the sun -kissed young foliage from which the raindrops were yet falling. • 'Maybe so, Mirandy. You air an uncommon woman, and have been a good wife to me for tweney-seven years. You hadn't got many idols, Mirandy, not half as many as I have. But this always thinken your way is best--' See here, Joseph Busby,' there was an undertone of almost fierceness irx her voice. 'I think such twisting of the Scriptures is sinful. If I have idols, I can 'tend to 'em, that's all,' and Mrs. Busby strode into her bedroom and shut the door violently. When she returned to the kitchen she was in possession of the field. Joseph had gone to his work. • High time,' she sniffed; idols, indeed She put her clothes to no-ak, and carfying her dishes into the pantry, began washing them. Her though's were not pleasant ones; the frown on her face told than. The window before which she etood was covered with a thick growth of morning glory vines. A few of the daintily twisted buds, unheed- ing the threatenings of storm, had opened their pink, blue and white cups and peered in at the fluehed face of the worker. But Mrs. Busby was too busy, too disturbed by her husband's words; to notice their beauty. 'I don't see what possessed Joseph to say that,' she said, ,as she began rubbing her clothes. I gave up the only idol I ever had twenty years ago. I—' She stopped abruptly. Of course, it's that. letter, she went on after a brief pause. But he is wrong. it isn't idols that keeps me from doing rny—' Again she stopped.- She had almost said duty. A week before a letter had come from a little town in Kansas, to Mr. Busby. The letter contained news of the death of Mrs. Emma _Hale, a distant cousin of Joseph's. Mrs. Hale was a widow'and left one child, a boy, two years old. The writer, a neighbor of the dead woman, went ' on to say she could care for the child no longer, and if his relatives did not -come for him he would be sent to the poorhouse. Joseph pondered the matter a day and a night! He then coollY proposed sending for the child, and adopting it. His wife flatly re- fused. What-na child, a two-year-old baby, to make litter on her clean floors and upset her orderly plan of life? You must be crazy, Joseph,' she said, severely. `If it was a girl, now, and big enough to be out from under foot, I might think of it. But there hain't any use talk- ing about it.' Joseph Busby rarely opposed his wife, even in so small a matter as talking when she bade him to be silent. However, this time he said: We are growen old, Mirandy. The baby would be something to love us.' These words came back to Mrs. Busby as she bent over the , wash tub. Did she and Joseph need something to love them? She thought of the rambling old house with its many rooms'of the fertile acres serround- ing it, and of the comfortable bank account. Then her mind wandered to theedistant cemetery, where a white marble cross marked her baby's grave. 'I couldn't give Leah's place to another,'. she whispered.

No one knew, not even her husband, how many troub esome ques- tions the mother settled befor her child's picture. • She' opened the blinds and ooked long and earnestly at the laoghing bi by face. Do you want me to, dear.' she asked tearfully. `Do you want mi to take a noisy, tfoublesome boy into thie home? Is it an idol, Leah, my wanting e 'erything so quiet and orderly?' Ten minutes later she was back at her washing. The parlor blinds weee closed and all things were as they had been excepting Mrs. Busby's eyes; there was a new light in their grey depths. At half -past nine the last clothes were on the linee Returning from hanging them out Mrs. Bhsby found a neighbor, Mr. Vance, at the doer. 'I've been down to the statin, he said, and the eight o'clock train br tight a baby for you, or Busby, rather.' A what?' demanded Mrs. Besby, catch- ing her breath. A baby.' It was plain to see that Mr. Vance was enjoying the sittion. A woman who was goOg east on a visit, brought it from Kansas. Said it belonged to some of Busby's folks. She left it in care of the ticket agent, and he sent it over by me. It's down to the road ih my wagon, -and a trunk too. The little fellow has cried most ever since the woman left %fin.' Mrs. Busby took down her gdeen gingham sun -bonnet -and prepared to fellOw him out to the wagon without a word. Was you expecting it?' ,Mr. Vance asked, somewhat disappointed eit her quiet - n€88. 'Not to -day,' she replied briefly. It was a plump but tear -stained little face that met her eager gaze. There were great blue eyes, a rosy mouth, and cldsely curling yellow hair. But the child wan unmistak- ably dirty, and began crying iagain in a 'piteous fashion. Mrs. Busby held up her arms. Come to auntie, dear,' she said coaxidgly. You want some bread and milk, don t you, and to see the dear little chickens?' At the same leisurely gait of the morning Mr. Busby again traversed the path from the barn to the house. Miranda's line of snowy clothes drying in the sun brought to his mind the conversation of thp morning, but he expected no reference to it from his wife. A surprise awaited him. ; The table was laid for three, and at the geest's place stood a clumsy little high chair that for twenty years had stood empty in an upper room. And on the floor sat a happy -faced child surrounded by clothes-pins'emp y bottles, a disused candlestick and a like c I- lectiontof impromptu playthings. Who, who is that, Mirandy?' 'Joey Hale Busby,' was Mirandh's promPt reply, and picking up the child, the put it in her husband's arms. There, Joey, dear, dmake friends with Uncle Joseph. He is the dearest little fellow,' she went on, so cun- ning and not a bit afraid.' But I don't understand,' d Joseph Busby's arms closed tenderly aro nd the lit- tle orphan. The story was soondold. Of course, we'll keep him, and do our best for him,' Mrs. Busby said hywav of concluaion. 'Dinner is ready and the green peas and,custard pie will taste godd to,little Joey., I guess you were right 'bout my idols,- Joseph,' stopping to tfasten a towel arotind the child's neck in lieu f a bib, but they are overthrown. No try and not make an idol of Joey.' 'You air a remarkable woman, iVfirandy,' Mr. Busby said, wiping his eyes. I have always said you was a remarkable woman, and I'm a leetle afraid I am maken an idol - of you.'—Hope Daring. PROMOTION. 'May I go out to Blairstown on your special? Mr. Gannon ?' -asked Hariy Sower - by, the telegraph operator at Hamn onds. ' What do you want to go for, tub?' re- plied the superintendent of the Lexington & Danville Railroad. It's a nasty, inight for travelling and—' '1 haven't been home in two months,' said the boy eagerly. '1 may not have an -- other chance for a long time, and it's near Christmas. I can report the de rture of your train and there's nothing m re to be done here till 6:45 to -morrow mor mg.' 'Come on, then,' answered the superin- tendent. He knew that Harry owerby, the youngest telegraph opeeato on the road, was anxious to see his mothe and sis- ters, and he knew what a lonely pl ce Ham- monds' station was. The sounder clicked rapidly for 4t few mo- ments as Harry notified the night train despatcher at ' X ' offiee that the -superin- tendent's special was passing sirestward. Then he quickly cut out the telegraA instru- ments, c4nenched the office lamp aidd jumped aboard the oar as it slowly rolled past the glare of the bright platform light and out into the black rain. He could not remem- ber having ever heard Ruch a heagy down- pour. The snow that had hidden !the earth for weeks was fast melting under i... Harry Sowerby was only sixteen years old. He had been at Hammonds hne year, and he was heartily tired of it. The nearest house to the station was it *Darter of a mile away. He was anxious to be pr moted to the train despatcher's staff at 'C' office, that mysterious place where the orders came that governed all trains; on ;the road. 1 1 I .---t 1 But Mr. Gannon had put him cff, teJling him that he was too young. 'When you have had more e*per ence, bub," said the big goodmatered su erin- tendent, 'maybe the despatcher will need you. You're young yet, you kno;.' This was a tender point with .H reg. He knee:, he really looked as old asmos fel- lows of eighteen, and he -felt th t he had 4 more experience at railroading t an any fellows of twenty-five. Besides, f h was sent to 'X' his pay would be in reas cl to $65 a month, and he could send Ips s eters to a better school. Suddenly steam was shut, otr arry knew it by the silence with which the lighb train plunged forward, without a, ound from the • exhaust or the cylinders. hen came the sharp hissing of the dir-br kes, but the train ran on unchecked. One blast of the whistle called the brakenio.n t the platform where he whirled the b ake-wheel swiftly, and set it up as hard as 1 his life depended on that one act. A rinding noise forward and a snarling frees the driving wheels told Harry's experienced ems that the engineer had 'thrown her over and given her sand '—that is, he ha rev rsed the levee and opened the tand-bo , so that the driving wheels, now turning backard, might grip the wet rails firmly, , Mr. Cannot), in his hip boots and ma kin- tosh, was out in thrdsnow and enuel and up ahead in less than half a minute. •,The ront ef the locomotive was within thirty fe t of the beginning of Wilson cut.

What it was that whiepe ed danger to the engineer he himself conld 1 not tell, but he had felt a sudden prelim Won that 4 was not safe to run throughlth cut. Harry Sowerby saw the br kema go 'back with a red lantern td protec the sup - n rmtendent's special train froth N . 57 , the way freight that was due thirt mi utes ater. Suddenly the light flic ered out. hewind and ram were too m ch f r it. arry knew that the same thiog ight hap- pen just as the heavy freight ram ame along. Ib sickened him to thin of what would follow. He thought ' of the ;train crew scattered on the snowy ground, brnised, perhaps killed. The boy's head throbbed with excitement. If he only could do something to save the train ! He had heard Ryan, the rear b ake- man, say that there was not a dange tor- pedo on the car. He ran hopelessly i p to the locomotive tender, knowing that here was none there either, but thinking that perhaps he might find something. Aid as he searched in the grimy tool -box he s w a long piece of heavy copper wire. here flashed across his mind the recollecti n. of how Kline, the lineman, had once Bahl it was possible for a 'good man' to telegraph from any point on the line. Here was s me - thing worth trying. ' Bring a torch, Phil,' he said to thei fire- man. Away he ran down the trackthe coil of wire in one hand and a pair of Fillers in the other. Throwing the coil arouni his neck, and sticking the pliers in his pee ket, Harry began to climb the nearest telegraph pole, whil Phil helped him all be could with his free hand. The Young telegrapher soon threw MS leg over the crossarm, and braced himsel se- curely. Fireman Phil held the flaring t rch as high as he could, so that the light was Only fifteen feet below the wire. The t • rch was so literally eoaked with petroleum that the wind could riot blow it out. i Harry felt thankful when he saw os the opposite end o the cross -arm from hat which held the s gle telegraph line, a new glass insulator t1iat had been placed for an- other line that was soon to be strung. 'hat made his work easier. Using his pliers • ex- terously, he quickly spliced one end of the coil of copper wire of the telegraph line about six inches away from the cross- rm. He twined the copper wire around and around the live wire, so that it clung li e a wild -grape vine tendril to a tree -bough. Then he took three turns of the co per wire around the empty insulator. Now as the trying moment. If he cat the l'ne, would its sagging weight break his spli of, copper wire? Yet if he was to carry out his plan, he must separate the teleg ph line into two parts, so that by bringing the ends together he could make these M rse signals. With a few nips of the pliers he cut the telegraph line, and, although it fell away with a sharp snap, the copper -wire splice held it safely hung to the new in- sulator. . Now he was in possession of a rude but effective telegraph key. .By touching the west end of the broken line, which was the jagged bit of wire that stuck up from the old insulator, against the east end of the line, which was the end of the copper wire, leading back from the new insulator, he could complete the electric circuit. He tapped the emi of the copper wire upon the line wire that stuck. A tiny blue speak flashed out, and he felt sharp pains in his wet right hand as the current shot through it. But what mattered the pain? Becaese the current shocked him so, he felt sure that the line was '0 K.' Now he began tapping again. He let the wire barely touch to make dots, and held them together an instant to make dashes. He began to call up the station at Woodside, where No. 576 was due to pasts within the next ten minutes. Then he held the wire ends to- gether to receive an answer. He soon could feel the stinging current bite the dot dashee into his hand, like this: Now he telegraphed this order; 'Operator, Woodside,—Flag and hold all d - SITOR. west -bound trains. Williston cut block ed, and a special is stuck at the east end. He signed Mr. Gannonrs name to t is. Then he held the wires together while he operator telegraphed back the order, c - cording to the railroad rules, to show t at he understood. The man at Woodside as surprised at the message, but he quic ly understood -its importance. Harry twisted the loose end of the cop er wire around the little piece of wire t at stuck up, so that the telegraph line sho Id ot be broken, and then he slid down he ole. I ',They're fiolding all west -bound trains at Woodside !' he shouted to Phil, as his feet touched the Ig,round. 1 , Phil gavel him a congratulatory slap Ion the back that nearly upset him. Then Pt il the trainto where the superintendent and he train crew were standing two hundred yaeds back of the train, trying to shield a rjed light and keep it burning. He yelled the good news to them, and as Harry mine slowly up to the little group the crew cheered him and hugged him and told him he had saved the six lives on No. 576. i 'Bub,' said Mr. Gannon'as he gravelly shook Harry's burned right hand, '1 guess you've had enough experience to go to 'X' office. We need men en quick-witted and plucky as you in this business. I'm going to report your conduct to the directors of the road at their next meeting.'—Willia Hemmingway, in Harper's Round Table. • A Hungry Customer. An elephant of the weaker sex, weighin over three tons; and as tall as a suburbit villa, has been stopping at Taunton whil on a starring tour through the province with a travelling menagerie. Waking u the other morning earlier than her oompan- ione—two sleepy -headed and morose camels —she decided upon paying a visit to it bake house in the neighborhood, for the air of Taunton was appetizing, and visions of fresh rolls haunted her imagination. To snap the cable which had moored her to the shed lizsi. whioh she had spent the night was the Work of a moment, and then gingerly step ping over two sleeping keepers, she mad for the bake house. A playfnl pnsh or tw was sufficient to break the door in, and then T deed- _ she sat down to a light breakfast, in the course of which she consumed two bags of flour weighing 140 pounds each, 20 pounds of eurranta, 14 tins of raspberry jam (tins included), 14 pounds of raw almonds, and finished up with seven pounds of lemon peel. Having exhausted the resources of the extablishment, she went for a gambol in anadja,cent yard, waltzing round which she knocked down two 'sumps and sundry other email articles of that kind. Roused from their slumbers by a noisy rattling of tins, the keepers now interfered and compelled the frisky matron to rejoin her companions, to whom, no doubt, she coofided her exper- iences with many deep chutkles of joy and satisfaction. After this, 4t. would net be surprising to hear that th4 Taunton baker is in favor of muzzling elep ants_ • AN ALARMING CREAS3. The Prevalence of Female C m - plaints found to Result Lar ely from the Kidney*. SAGINAW, Michigan, July lath.—Do tors are beginning to turn their attention more exclusively to the causes for the great in- crease of what are known as female com- plaints during the past ten years, and to the remedies for the same. Many eases have been investigated, and among °there that of Mrs. Reany, of Ashland, Wiscon- sin, Who was cured of this form of -trouble by the use of a kidney medicine known as Dodd's Kidney Pills, which originated in Canada, but has now become widely,known and used throughout the Western 'Steles.
