THE MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE,

much like uiy quarters live years ago tc.dny
—but beat's ,just where my story begins.
Aowii nu my hook. I look back in 0 sort
of wonder at thole time when 1 was n tele-
graph and out of

employ•Mont. Not tht I wasn't head and
shoulders with the cleverest of the lot—but
140 I 1111Na said, I was out of eulploynluntand
—"down on my look."
There hadn't been so cold a winter as the
ono of which I speak, within the recollection
of the oldest inhabitant. The wind out like
a sword, the cold penetrated the very mar-
row of one's bones ; the sun oast a sort of
yellow glare that looked bright enough to
make a follow feel that he ought to bo warm,
while this deceptive brightness by its real
gharacter chilled ono to the hcarb, 73y night
the stars Ming in steely glitter in a wide ex.
pause as soft as velvet and as cold as—as—.
I give it up, old fellow, there's no expression
at command that ern convey to you just how
cold it scented to me to bo. Perhaps it was
because I was down on my hick just then,
and wore n top -goat of rattler light weight
for the season, bemuse my feet wore clad in
thinly -soled shoos and my hands gloveless.
Be that as it may, I think I have sufficiently
impressed upon your mind the fact that it
was not at all sultry on that particular New
Year's day, that saw lie alight tram a west-
bound train in a far western state. I had
l itis frau the office that
same cod credentials t ]s t
had reinoved the to make place for a poor
relation—old front others—to be sure, lent
the position I sought to occupy seemed al-
ready well supplied at each and every point
where I had trade an application. The cast
was filled to the brim withood operators
—I would go west, I decided and seek my
fortune in the old Dick Whittington style.
In every considerable town along the
route, therefore, I had halted and sought
employment. 10 none had I, as yet, footed n
place ; and discouraged, cold, hungry and
forlorn, I entered n second-ebass tavern in
the little Town of Fordham—some twenty
miles west of my last night's stopping
place.
I had a very little money left now—one
bill and n few silver coins being the extent
of my means—and I felt that, unless some-
thing soon same to change my luck, I should
start Out and walk until benumbed through
the snow that lay like a winding sheet
across the wide prairie land. It's an easy
death; and I did not think the Heavenly
Father, who soothed so far away and indif-
ferent to the silent cry of His most wretched
of children, would in justice, punish =for
the suicidal act.
It was quite dark when I reached the im1.
The stale glittered like diamonds in the
cloudless expanse and noises sounded clear
and shrill in the cold air: The street lamps
flickered in dull, yellowish gleams here and
there along the stool street of the little town,
and the ono big lamp that tried to force its
feeble rays through dusty panes of glass over
the door of the cheap hostelry matte the
darkness outside seem even the more
gloomy.
I entered. Hoo there was warmth and
light, at least, and that pleasant bustling
confusion consequent upon the preparing of
the evening meal, while savory smells of
delectable compounds came with delightful
persistence to my famishing senses.
I ate supper with the rest—Heaven only
knew if it was or was not to bony batmen!
—paid for a night's lodging, and found I had
not enough money left to allow ins to
go on to another town should my sonreh
hero prove a failure, Pretty black outlook,:
eh?
At my inquiry I was directed to the only
telegraph olii:e in thepinee, and my teeth
chattering the more now that Iliad in some
degree become robust accustomed to the
warmth of the tavern atmosphere and felt
the contrast of the out -door air all the more
keenly, I walked briskly along the street. to-
wards the littleg:wudily painted depot lying
upon the northern boundary of the town.
I need nob linger over my disappoint-
ment. Theo was nothing there for me ;
and, although the operator in charge was
eivil and really kind and polite, I saw that
Inc thought he had a good thing and secant
to keep it, and I, for all of him, might
whistle down the wind. How I envied him
his cosy nook by tog great, red -hob, cannon
stove, I leave you, old boy, to conjecture.
With a fire like that, good money pincod
regularly in my pocket—I fear my Mem of
Heaven about those days would have tallied
with juke such a description.
Half au hour later I was back at the
tavern. The cold had increased, if such a
thing were possible, while I had lingered
within the telegra th office at the depot, but
that, again, might have seemed to have
been so by contrast. Taking a candle, my
host piloted lie to the roost allotted the on
the second floor back, aod, fivo minutes later,
chilled in the very fibers of my material be-
iirg I crept in between sheets so white, so
cold that I shuddered to look at them
Long I lay there awaiting the warmth
that cane in no great hurry to my shaking
hulk, and when at last I began to faintly
acknowledge to myself that breathing under
the bed-olothing Was, after all, a pretty
good sort of heating " apparatus," I hoard
something of which I have never since
thought without a most uncanny sensation
overpowering me.
Distinctly, clearly, delicately, several tiny
little ltnooks sounded on the head -board of
the bed on Which I lay. By this timo the
whole house was a -bed and there was that
intense stillness of a bitter (told night—a
stillness that could almost be felt brooding
over all things. My quick ear caught too
sounds, and, lilco all well-trained oxperione-
ed operators, I began to amuse myself by
making lettere of the tiny ticks.
I remember smiling to lnyself—for as yet
the noises meant nothing to me but the
cracking of the wood of the boil on whi011 I
lay shaking and shivering, though begin-
ning at last to recognize a sense of lagging
warmth about to overtake me—I remember
no
smilingto myself, I say, when I managed
los oltoutA,T,A,
L,which know w
meant
nothing at all.
All was still after this, and 1 was just al-
lowing the senile to fade and my features to
take upon themselves their wonted look of
soberness, when 1 heard again the ticking
upon the head -board of my bed. Lazily
listened and spoiled away at what seemed
amusingly like tho sounds to which my
trained oars wore moat accustomed, A, 1,
A, L --there it was again --•but this time it
Was followed by abhor sounds unheard be -
fora.
Slowly I began to clearly oomprchoncl that
therm were veritable words 1 was spellino
out 1 ,Slowly the conviction seized upon me
that it was a bona lido message I was r000iv-
ing'frotn whore, front what, heaven above

were the words? l'in arming to them, "Long

Sounds litre poetry, doesn't 1t? luau I
wasn't thinking about, poetry then, illy boy,
as 1 lay wit 11 that onus0lnns, intelligent Pre -

telegraph office at tho depot?
And for what? To be laughed at?
" Saul Natal," indeed—try brain must be
turning with the colt!—sounds like a highly
improbable name, doesn't it? Pooh 1 I'm
deluded—
Then ft began again—six times in all was
that same message repeated ; and et the end
of the half a -dozenth time 11000 001 of bed,
into my harness, and half way to the depot
before I had fully realized my whereabouts.
As I ran 1 boat my hands and shivered
and shook like an ague patient. A gibbous
11100!1 Wall riding now across the blue -black
sea of Heaven and a ghostly light illumined
the earth. Ino short time I was admitted
into the brightly -lighted little office, and,
sinking upon a chair kindly set out for me,
I gasped :
I beg—your pardon—for this midnight
—invasion • but I was obliged to send—a
message—at onto—to Georgetown 1"
"To Georgetown?" politely repeated my
brother operator—though, to tell you the
truth, my boy, no one would have called us
Latin brothers at that particular time 1
"Sand it yourself?" he asked, trying to
a o
strapg tyawn at its birth.

gasped. He

If—if—youp t
gave me a word or two of instruction, and
turning to rho instrument I, laid frigid
1101,10 upon it. In a short time I had tick-
ed out the mysterious message, and turning
to see how my new friend was taking what
hemight well deem a rather unusual mode
of proceeding, I found him with closed eyes
sound asleep in his ahair in a nosy corner
between stove and partition wall,
I let him sloop. In a few seconds—at
least so it seemed to me—a reply came from
Georgetown, the purport of it being that an
engine had boon sett down ahead of the
train just made ftp there to see if the re-
port 1 had wired were true.
The next quarter of an hour was anything
but an agreeable one to mo I can assureyou,
even although during that period I found
myself lhanrolri More than I had been able
to thaw for several days past•.
I told myself, candidly, that I was all
egregious ass to have ever believed that
the pure fancies of my evidently softening
brain were aught to be relied upon ; that
did I delay the train.dispatcher by such a
bug -a -boo story for naught I should, and
rightly, too, be considered a proper subject
for a lunatic asy1(11111 that there probably
never had been, nor ever would be a " Saul
Natal ; " and that take it all in all I was
worse than a senseless fool—a brainless
idiot1
And here to interrupt my not by any
11100118 pleasurable musings lay new friend
awoke with a start and came towards me. I
vacated his place before the instrument and
took the chair he had ,just left. 1t was a
"Polly -wants -a -cornet'" played by two --
and those two strapping young fellows just
then in altogether different frames of mind.
" Cold night," said tho youthful Lacono,
loaning back in his chair.
" It is," 1 answered hits truthfully ; add-
ing, " may I ask you a question or two,
sir?"
" Certainly. Ask what questions you
please."
Is—is "—and my voice trembled—" is
there along birdge between here and George-
town ?"
" No."
The mercury of my already crumbling eon.
mit went down at once out of sight.
" No, my friend, you've been misinform -
el" (I should think I had 1). "There is no
sort of bridge et all between this station and
Georgetown, but sono throe utiles beyond it
is the longest bridge in the ( tate."
"Ah 1' I gasped—You see that was all I
could do, old fellow 1
" Unsafe, too, I'm afraid—though the
road doesn't want it generally known, I
should say. Wants to prop ib up in some
sort o' fashion to aye expenses of an out and
ant new one. Mighty bad policy, T say 1"
tither of us, to move, see listened to the re.
emoted call for 11110 entre, "Answer it,

last. Whereupon I sent book information
that I was road to reeolvo a message from

With asnmthered cry of astonishment I full

followed the call for the office caste again.
This time Solomon Natal responded ; and
when the uliekln ceased he handed me a
long white strip of.papee, the dented sedum/of which told a tiling to mo as unexpected
as to have been led to believe that thosilvor
stars of Heavenwouldfall fromtheirplaoesfn
the sky and turn themselves into coin 1 The
passengers of the R.Z.X. Road,to whiohwae
attached a private car containing the presi-
dent of the said road, his family andseveral
other officials out on a holiday jaunt, had
torte up a purse by which they hoped to sig-
nify in same shall measure their gratitude
to " Saul Natal," who had sent the mes-
sage that saved thein from a fate horrible to
contemplate, " Special engine," the mes-
sage ran, " left round house 2:03 with pack-
age."
As my new friend turned to speak to me
the whistle of an approaching engine smote
our ears. Like a bunting eye her headlight
born down upon the little station, and In a

Another whistle, and wo Solomon Natal
and I were alone.
" Forgive me for receiving it," he said
softly ; "I knew they would never under-
stand. Hee, man, take your gift from—my
—father—and may God bless yotl
I had a pretty (lard time trying to make
young " Sol "—as I have ever since culled
him—understand that he would be obliged
to receive half of this generous present.
And, at last, when I left town, he, though
never quite satisfied in his quest:ioningmincl
as to the justice of the procedure, left with
