Barbara Stuart. teacher in the little red
school-house at Gold Dust Corner, bad '
dismissed the two score of children who
. made up her charge, and was resting hc'r
' head upon one slender palm rather wearily
as she lingered in the lonely school-room,
and :thought longingly of familiar spots
in her far away New England home.
She was pretty and lady-like,with silk
' en, nut-brown hair, wide,cool brown eyes,
'11 fair skin with a dainty flush in either
cheek, and white, slender hands. Her
dress of plain black cashmere, and the
lincn collar and cuffs at throat and wrist
were spotless.
A best of hasty hoofs came down the
yellow road. They ceased at the door;
and presently there strode into the school
room a tall, dashing-looking man who was
known in the vicinity as “Colonel Joe.”
A broad-rimmed slouched hat of white
felt was worn rather carelessly on the back
of hishaudsome head, about which the
'black hair was closely trimmed.
Two deep-set hazel eyes looked boldly
at the world in general ; and a fine Roman
nose stood guard over a pair of very fierce
brown mustachcs, which were nearly long
enough to tie under the square chin cleft
so deeply in the centre. A red shirt and
a pair of black pantaloons tucked into high
cavalry boots, and a belt containing abrace
of handsomely mounted revolvers. com-
pleted his outfit.
Colonel Joe was called a hard character
even in that rough mining settlement ; and
the young school-teacher arose from her
chair in some trepidation as he made his
abrupt entrance noticing as she did so that
he curribd in his arms a peculiar-looking
bundle.
He saw her alarm, and paused midway
of the door ,and desk, a winning smile
lighting up his- dark face as he said in
singularly musical tone :—
“Don’t you go to bein‘ afraid of me,
little woman. I wouldn‘t harm you for
love or money. I‘ve come to you because
I’m in a fix that nobody but a woman can
help me out of. Jest look here."
He took another stride or two forward,
and half-kneeling before her, unrolled a
coarse blanket from the bundle in his
arms.
Barbara gave a little cry, for there lay
a tiny three-months-old baby-girl content-
edly sucking its thumb, whose round eyes
smiled up at her.‘
“Oh, the darling baby!” she said,
reaching out her arms with the natural
mother-instinct that is in every true we-
man’s heart.
And the little one kicked vigorously at
her wrappings, and reached her fat hands
up to Barbara with a cooing laugh, and
Colonel Joe gave her into the teacher’s
hold with a curious, half-shameful, half-
delighted expression on his countenance.
“Now, Miss Stuart,” he said, standing
upright once more, “that baby‘s father
was my partner and chum. He died just
two days before the little ’uu was born.
I've sorter looked after the mother, and
now she's dead—died this mornin.’ She
was always weakly. There isn’t a woman
left in our camp. I've tried to feed the
little thing today, but had to throw up
my hand at last. Then I‘ thought over
all the women down here in the settle-
ment, and couldn’tsecm to fix on any one
that I’d like to leave the little critter with
until Sammy Dent said: ‘There’s the
little school ma'am.’ So I started right
away; was going to your boarding place,
but saw your door, here, wide open, and
knew you hadn't gone. Now what I want
to say is this: Won’t you take the baby
and give up the school? I’ll pay you well
—l’ve got plenty of money. Sec, Miss
Stuart—the poor little thing 1 how she
takes to you."
For the baby was. smiling and cooing
contentedly in Barbara’s arms, while Bar;
bars was turning this new project over in
her mind. .
Colonel Joe waited in silence for a mo-
ment, looking at the fair little school-
ms’am cradling the baby on her breast.
A flush crept up his bronzcd checks, and
a new light came into his eyes as he spoke
again, a little huskily :
“I vow, little woman, .I wish you
. would take me with the baby, and bring
us both up together.” Then as Barbara
shrunk back with a hasty gesture of dis-
sent, the colonel sighed softly and added :
“No—no! Of course you wouldn’t. I
only wished it, you know. I know I’m a
rough ticket, but Lord 0’ love! If I had a
darliu’ little wife to train me there’s no
knowin‘ what I might bcl But. you’ll
take the baby P"
She must have time to consider. She
would take it for the present, and leave
it with Mrs. Bragg, her landlady, during
school hours: and at the close of the term.
she would let him know what her decis
ion was. -
So the' little school ma’am walked home
that night, with Colonel Joe riding at her
side on his big black horse, bearing the
baby on one arm.
As a natural consequence after that
Barbara saw more of this man who was
known as such a desperate character. He
called to inquire for the child, and to keep
her supplied with necessary funds ; and
it was at once a funny and pathetic sight
to see the tall, powerful, hard-looking
man, a terror to most people in the vicin-
ity, kneeling beside the wee baby girl and
lifting the satiny bits of hands reverently
in his brawny palm.
Barbara marveled at his gentleness. An
oath never passed his lips in her presence,
and he had apparently forgotten his queer
proposal In the school room. -
Just before the close of the term, Bar-
bara received bad news from home. The
little farm in Massachusetts, where lived
her aged father and mother, was to be sold
at auction on account of their failures to
pay up the mortgage. Her mothur was
sick, and they were very poor. What
little she could save, Barbara had sent
home to them, but that was not much.
When Colonel Joe came that evening
to see the baby, his keen eye read the
trouble in Barbara’s face.
“What’s the matter, little woman?” be
queried, gently, as he gave the baby the
tip of his little finger to suck.
Barbara, with a sudden passionate
longing for sympathy, told him of her
parents and the loss of the old home ; and
at the end, unable to control herself longer
burst into tears. ' [I
This startled the bold colonel. A we.
man’s tears he knew nothing about.
Hardly realizing the significance of the
action, he caught her slender figure close
to his breast, and pulling out a clean cam-
bric handkerchief, which was one of his
luxuries, be wiped the tears from her
cheeks, soothing her as he might have
soothed a child.
“Don’t you now! I can’t bear to see
you—makes me want to shoot myself!
Why, little darlin' girl, the old place
shan't go—at least I'll buy it myself, and
the old folks shall stay right therel Don‘t
you fret now! I know a chap in Wot
center county, and I’ll send him a telegram
to-morror, to attend that auction and buy
the place 1”
Barbara was regaining her self control
now, and made a movement to free her-
self; but he held 'hcr—uot rudely, but
gently and prayerfully, his dark eyes
wistful through the sudden mist which
had gathered in them.
“Don’t leave me,” he begged; “I’ve
been tryin' mighty hard to be a straight
man, for a whole month; because I
thought the time would, come, when I
might stand my chance with other men of
winnin’ you. Itlidn’t mean to speak now,
and I don’t mean to be rude, but I tell
you, little woman, my heart aches 'with
love for you, and. it's heaven for me to
hold this darlin’ little face so close to
me.”
With which rather paradoxical state-
ment be bent his handsome head a little
closer a faint smile creeping over his face.
A sudden conviction swept the last lin-
gering doubt from Barbara’s heart. You
may think her foolish and weak perhaps.
Be that as it may, she made no further
erort to free herself from the man's em-
brace, and the big brown mustache settled
upon her lips.
And so it happened that Colonel Joe
and the little school-'ma’am,.now Mrs.
Joseph Parker, went to Mnssachusettsa
short time after, taking with them the
baby of Jo’s dead partner. \-
Thc colonel is asteady man now ; owns
a largc'farm in Massachusetts; is the

school-mh’am. '
A Tale ofToy Balloons.
What Happened After the Major 'Tied Sons to
the Baby.
Mousnnsn Crrx, N. C., J unc 28.‘—The
three-year-old daughter of Mrs. Robert
Elliott was brought here a month ago to
recover from an attack of fever. Yester-
day morninga strolling Italian made his
appearance with a large cluster of those
red bladder-like toy balloons. Major
Hawkins of Alabama, to amuse the child
Birdie, tied the cord around her waist,
and then, as is so often done to amuse
children, gave her a toss of five or six
feet in the air, and held out his hands for
her return. “Great God! she is gone!"
cried the Major, as he saw her rapidly
going up, up, up until she had passed the
house tops. Floating in the clouds with
outstretched hands, the little angel could
be heard distinctly calling, “Mammal
Mamma I Mammal" until .her voice be-
came drowned by the whistling winds.
“All to~your boats!" shouted old Cup-
tain Dixon, and nevei- a son of a man turn
back until that child is brought to its
mummy I” '
Minutes appeared as hours-and the babe
was flying southeast like a kite, and would
be out over the Atlantic in less than no
time. Away went twenty or more well
manned boats amid the shouts of men and
screams of women and children. These
boats were joined by a like number from
Beaufort, all‘ of which kept as near under
the little angel in the cloud as possible.
Mr. Charles J. Voorhees of the Southern
Express company, with a party of gentle-
men, were out taking a sail. Mr. Voor-
hees is one of the most expert riflemeu in
the country, and had on heard his Smith
85 Wesson rifle.
“Bang 1” went the rifle—but no change
in position.“ Again, again, and again—at
the fifth shot one balloon disappeared
amid the shouts of the boatmen. At the
eighth shot it became evident that the
balloon could not longer carry the weight
of the little floating angel, as she was
gradually descending, not in a straight
line, but in a southeast direction, toward
Harker’s Island—but whether dead or
alive none could tell. Down, down,
down she comes, and gently as if handled
by human hands, and to fall into a cradle
of sand. ‘
To land, to land, and all put ‘to the
shore as fast as the sailswould propel the
boats. Then began the race for the baby
and she had come down on a sand bank
only a few hundred yards distant. With
fear and trembling all ran up, Ben River
in front. “Gentlemen,” says he, “she’s
alive and kicking." There out little
Birdie, playing with a lot of shells, and
as she was picked up she clung to a hand-
ful, saying, “Bess sels for mamma."
At the wharf. after everything seemed
safe, then little Birdie came the nearest
of losing her life. Colonel Whitford, a
man of generous impulses, seized the little
angel in his arms, and at a lightning speed
started for its mother, who was then
lying in an unconscious state under the
skillful care of Drs. Haywood, Arcndall,
and Kelly of Louisiana. But before the
kind-hearted colonel had gone far, amid
the dense crowd and confusion, he run of!
the wharf into water eight feet deep.
Several jumped overboard and aided him
in landing his prize. The child was none
the worse for the ducking—Philadelphia

Modern Dentistry.
Teeth Filling Made Pleasant, Thanks to
Inventions.
“Not the slightest pain," explained the
old dentist, adjusting the hard wood gag
that held the jaws of his victim .upsrt
to their widest limit. “Does it hurt?
Well, now, young man, filling teeth, as I
do it, is like going to a matineei”
’ Meanwhile he had strapped the culprit’s
head back in his chair, had cut a small
hole in a sheet of rubber, and, thrusting
both hands into the condemncd’s mouth,
had forced the affected tooth through the
small aperture.

Seven o'clock may appear to many quite
early in the morning, but to those who
have been all night on the railway there
seems to be a disposition for early rising.
The arrangement of toilets, and the gener-
al transformation of the car, previous to
six, indicates that. as a general thing, trav-
elers are early risers. ,
The ’sceucs of the morning may have
a faint resemblance to those of the pre-
ceding day, for the night shut off all pros-
pect, the rapidly revolving driving wheels.
have measured off some two hundred and
fifty miles of space, and the traveler has
a fancy to compare the scenes of yester-
day with those of day. He calls to mind
that on the previous day about four p. m,
the train was just entering the rich graz-
ing lands of western Nebraska, and he
will remember the large herds of cattle
that were seen feeding on the rich pas-
tures but a short distance from the un-
fenccd railway, and the thousand sheep
seen in immense flocks hero and there,
while horses are frequently noticed making
a general stampede, as the rumbling train,
the puffing stcanuor the shrill-whistle of the
engine has alarmed them from the track.
Does he not also remember seeing the
bleached skeletons of animals by the side
of the road, leaving on his mind a vague
impression of the severity of winter, or
that the passing train may have accident-
ally pitched them oiI the track and left
them there to die ? .
Here it is that travelers are taught tho
the great railway business of the West
consists not merely in the transportation
of passengers from one large city to an-
other, but that the freightlng business con-
stitutes a large proportion of the profits,
and that every ranch may become a depot
for sending this living stock to supply the
eastern markets, and that the exportation
of wool must of itself form a -Iargc busi-
ness. » '
On looking at the scene this morning a
change has taken place, for on each side
are seen evidences of large crops. Stacks
of wheat are being reduced by the steam
thresheré, while large stacks of hay are
frequently noticed. We are coming to a
country where rain has been in abundance
during the past few days. ' Immense fields
of corn meet the eye‘as the train move
rapidly on.
The Platte river, which flows from the
west to the east through the whole length V
of the State, is seen near the railway.
From a report or prospectus published
in 1882 by theVUnion Pacific road, thefol-
lowing extracts are taken :—
“Few,if any of the Western states, or
territories have so rapidly or so deservedly
taken the front rank in development, in-
crease of population and wealth, as Ne-
braska. In 1855 its population was 4,494,
in 1860 its population was %,481; in 1870
its populalion was 122,993; in 1880gits
population was 452,542. The construction
of the Union Pacific Railway and branch-
es has probaby contributed more than any
other single cause to the results noted.-
Receiving from the United States Govern-
ment a grant in Nebraska of about 3,000,-
000- acres, it has within ten years
disposed of one-half that amount at an
average price of $4.42 . per; acre, to-about
16,000 purchasers. More than double this
number have, by means of the Union Ps-
cific, been located on Government and
private lands adjoining its own, equal
rates and facilities being offered by it for
this purpose. The ratio of increase of
population of this State since 1860 is 1,348
per cent. .
“By act of Congress chartering the
Union Pacific Railway there was granted
to the company a tract of lands forty miles
wide adjoining its road and extending
along the :whole line, of which aboutonc
million five hundred thousand acres, val-
ued at from $3 to $7 per acre are still for
sale in Nebraska.

Good dairy products uniformly bring
good prices, and the demand for them in
all markets which Nebraska may or does
supply, whether more eastern states or
western mining, regions, is increasing.
Little attention compared with its import-
ance, has been given to the subject, and
argument is useless, to sustain .the fact
that, if dairying may he successfully con-
ducted in states where land is worth from
$25 to $50 per acre, pasturage small and
markets limited, it may be where, as in
Nebraska, land can be had for $5 per acre,
pasturage is free and boundless, and'mar—
kets with increasing demands are on all
sides.”
At 7:35 a. m. the train reaches Omaha,
at which place we make a stop for the
day. The twelve wheeled car is ex-
changed for a four wheeled buggy, and as
a propelling power, a fine pair of steeds
take the place of the steam engine. After
riding through some of the principal
streets-we pass the large paper warehouse
of Mr. William T. Seaman, formerly a
Brooklyn youth of our acquaintance, but
now an enterprising merchant doing a
very_extensive and thriving business in
Omaha. It was here that we met with
Mr. Charles E. Youngs, who has been for
many years engaged in mercantile busi-
ness in New York city, but who has with-
in the past year become a citi en of
Omaha. Mr. Y. is well known many
residents of Norwaik, and at one time was
a member of the Neptune Club. .
Omaha is a flourishing city of 25,000
inhabitants. It is situated on the west
bank of the Missouri river, while Council
Bluffs is directly opposite on the east side
of the same river. The Missouri forms
the dividing line between Nebraska and
Iowa. Omaha is hilly, as the town rs
codes from the river. In this respect it
reminds us somewhat of Hudson river
shores. A large and imposing building
on the summit of shigh hill is pointed
out to us as the High School. It certain-
ly is high ‘in more senses than the one
which gives it its name. The prospect
from some of these high hills is delightful,
while looking eastward across the river at
the Bluffs the view is perfectly splendid.
Omaha is clsmed to be a very healthy
place, and its climate exceptionally fine.
It is also claimed to be entirely free from
malarial diseases. . '
To cross theriver to Council Bluffs
must as a general thing be by the railroad
at certain times of day, and teams laden
with various articles are‘ transported across
in a rather novel manner. On a separate
track five or six large freight cars are
drawn up, the entrance to which is at
the end of the cars. These cars are close
ly fastened togethcraud guarded. Teams
drive up an inclined plane and thus enter
the cars as on a ferry boat, passing direct-
ly through one car to the next, until they
are all filled. At stated intervals these
five cars,londed with teams andwagons
are drawn up on the railroad, and are
thus taken over the bridge. On disem-
barking the wagons go out just as from a
ferry boat.
OMAHA BRIDGE.
The Omaha Bridge is chiefly remarka-
ble for the engineering difficulties over-
come in its construction.
The soil of the Missouri river bottom it
of such a character that it is easily dis-
solved, providing but a very slight barrier
to a current of swiftly running water. so
that the river is constantly shifting its bad.
The stream which one season ran along
the western line of hills, may be found
the next year rolling in all its majesty as
the foot of the eastern bluffs, thrseor
four miles away. This mighty stream
was attacked while lying at the Omaha
side of the valley, and by running a high
levee from Council BluIIsit was prevented
from changing its channel.
The piers for the bridge are heavy iron
cylinders, which were sunk Into the earth
(in some cases over 80 feet) and then filled
with concrete.
a The superstructure is of iron. The
Council Bluffs Union Depot is avcry large
and commodious brick structure, compris-
ing ticket office, baggage room, dining
room, ladies’ and gent’s waiting rooms,
lunch counters, and a well appointed hotel
with all that the name implies, under one
roof. '
The trains of five trunk lines leading
east from this point, all back up side by
side in front of the building. The Union
Pacific train comes in on the opposite
side, and passengers have only to pass
through the depot to change from the
overland train to any of the lines in wait-
ing. The most perfect system prevails
throughout all departments and no one
need make a mistake or go astray.

Hannibal Hamlin’s new story
of Daniel Webster.
“What public man, Mr. Hamlin, was
the ablest that you ever found?”
“Daniel Webster towered a head and
shoulders above any of them. , He was
one of those few men who became greater
as you approached him. That can be said
of few men in this world. The nearer
you came to Webster the more you saw
[and acknowledged his greatness. I can
remember a little speech he made which
has never been. referred to in print, and
not object to telling you about it. ‘You
remember James M. Mason of Virginia,
what a patronizing supercilious man he
‘was. He had no love for Webster; and
on one occasion he rosejin his place with a
little pamphlet which ascribedth Mr.Web-
ster certain language, and on that Mason
proceeded to make a‘ speech. Webster
wssdrunk. He listened as well as he
could to what [Mason was saying, and
then he got up so unsteady at first that he
held to his desk with both hands, but as
he proceeded and became more luminous
and clear he raised first one hand and
after a while he raised both hands, and he
made such a speech as I think I never
heard to peel an opponent all to pieces.
He called for the pamphlet after a while,
and Mason sent it over to him. He held
it up 'with a look of contempt on his great
rugged count nance, and turned it over,
and said: 0 title page, anonymous.
No author, thelpoor thing is fatherless,
motherless. This you call a document.’
Mason watched him with apprehension.
Then Webster addressed himself to the
language ascribed to him in the pamphlet,
and it hadoseemed to all of us Senators
who heard M‘on that the language wlis
capable of the interpretation he had given
it. :Indccd there seemed no other inter-
pretation. But Webster, with that logical,
legal mind he had, in a very few minutes
convinced everybody present, Mason in-
cluded, that the :lsnguage not only did
not mean what Mason read, but that it
meant the very opposite. As soon as he
brought this out Mason wanted to apolo-
gize, but Webster, towering up told him
to take his seat. We saw by Mason’s
face that he felt he had got himself into
-a place that would do him no credit. ‘
Then Webster continued, and the excor-
iation was something indescribable, yet
all the while severely contemptuous; just
in the manner to cut Mason topieccs and
make him feel it, for you know he was
nothing if not a lord over somebody.
“At the end of the speech one of the
Senators said 'to Webster: “You have
used him all up ; let it notbe published in
the public debates.’ 'Very well,’ said Mr.
Webster, 'Iet the dog go.’ ”—Gl'neinnati

Pills Instead of Bullets.
A Romantic and Fatal Duel at Old New Orleans.
A duel, fatal to One of the principals
and yet novel in nature, in detailed by a
writer in the New Orleans Times-Democrat-
It was between two young men of Cres-
cent City, and occurred over forty year.
ago. The; young men were Henri Dela-
grave and Alphonqe Riviera, and the
former in wooing Mme. Celestin. Riviera,
sought out Delsgrave, and found him in
a gambling saloon. Riviera was very pale
as he approached the group of men around
the table. What with the yellow light
shining through the curtains and his
bloodless appearance, he seemed rather a
ghastly corpse than a living body, but
there was motion and a voice in him
which soon dispelled such an illusion.
As he neared Delagravc the latter turned
to confront him, when Riviere, with: a
voice that seemed to come from behind
the door of, a tomb, said: “Delagravr,
we cannot live on this globe together; it
'is not large-enough." .
Delagrave, quietly puffing his cigarellc,’
in a cold impressive lone, replied: “ch3
you annoy me. It would be better if you
were dead." , ‘
Rivieria’s face flushed, and reaching for.
ward he laid the back of his hand gently
against Delagrave's check. The game
was at once interrupted. The slap which
was so light it did not even crimson the
young man's check, was enough tocall
for blood, and leaving the house he sought
an intimate friend; to him he opened! his
heart: “It must be a battle to the death.”
Such was the emuity between himself Esud
Riviere, only a life could wipe it out. i
The old doctor, who had grown up, it
might be said, on the field, shrugged? his
shoulders and remonstrated, but at flast
acquiesced and said: “Very well, then; it
Shall be to the death."
Few people who knew what sort of a
party it was driving down the shell road
bordering Bayou St. John. Two car—
riages stopped just on the bridge leading
to the island formed there by the bifurca‘
tion of the bayou, and four gentlemen
alightcd. Ssvalle, a well-known character
here forty years ago, accompanied Rivi-
crc, and old Dr. Rocquet was with Dela-
grave. The seconds had mctpreviously
and arranged everything. Delagrave, as
he stepped from the carriage, looked for
tively around for the cases of pistols, but
seeing none, he was a little 'disconcerted.
After walking about 100 yards from the
carriages, the party stopped and the doc-
tor motioned them to approach closer.
When they had done so, he called them by
name and said: “Gentlemen, we havcgdis-
cussed this matter nearly all last night.
and both Mr. Savslle and myself feelisat-
isfied that there is no solution to the'dif-
ferenec between you but the death of one.
The world is so formed that both cannot
live in it at the same time." The two
nodded. “Therefore,” the doctor went
on, “we have agreed to make the arbitra-
ment as fair as possible'and let fate de-
cide.” He took out a black/morocco case,
and from it produced a pill-box contain-
ing but pellets. "One of these,"' said he,
“contains a positively fatal dosc'of prus-
sic acid, the other three are harmless.
We have agreed that each shall'swailow
two of the pills, and let destiny decide."
Savalle inclined his head, and site; an the
representative of Riviere, he agreed.
The two men were pale, almost blood'
loss, but not a nerve trembled or muscle
contracted. . '
“Gentlemen,” said the doctor, “we will
toss for the first pill." Savslle cried out
“fails,” as the glittering gold piece revolv-
ed in the air. It fell In a bunch of grass.
the blades of which, being separated,
showed the coin with the reverse head of
the Goddess of Liberty uppermost. “Mr.
Delsgrave, you have the first choice,"said
the doctor. -
Reposing in the little box, the four lit-
tle globes seemed the courterpart of each
other. The closest scrutiny would not
develop the slightest difference. Nature
alone, through the physiological alcmbic
of the human stomach, can tell of their
properties. In one there tests the pull of
eternity, the struggle for breath, the fail-
ing of sight, the panorama of years rush-
ing in an instant through the mind, the
silence and sleep of death forevermorc,
the ceremcnts, the burial case,lthc solemn
cortegc, and the close, noisomc atmos.
phcrc of the grave. All these were con-
tained in one of these little pellets. Dela.
grave, having won the first choice. stepped
forward and took a pill. With a calmness
that was frigid,bc placed it on his tongue,
the doctor, washed it down.
“And now,M; ltivisre,"said the doctor.
Riviere extended his hand and took a pill.
Like his opponent, he swallowed it.
The two men stood looking one another
in the face. There was not a quiver to
the eyelid, not a twitch to a muscle. Each
was thinking of himself as well as Watch-
ing his adversary. One minute passed.
Two minutes passed. Three. Four. Five.
“Now, gentlemen.”
This was the fatal choice. Both men
were ready for the cast of the die. Ss-
valle tossed the gold piece aloft and the
doctor cried out "heads." "Heads" it
was, and Delngrave took a pill from the
box, leaving only one. “Now," said the
doctor, “M. Riviere, the remaining one is
for you. You will please swallow them
together." ' ’
The two men raised their hands at the
same time and deposited the pills on their
tongues and-took a draught of claret.
One second passed, and there was no
movement. Then—“ Good God 1" ex.
claimed Riviera, his eyes starting from
their sockets. He turned half around to
the left, and raised his hands shave his
head and shriekod a long, wild shriek that
belated travelers even to this day say they
hear on the shell road, near the island;
He fell prone to the earth, and, save a
nervous contraction of the muscles of the
face, there was no movement.
Delsgrave' took him by the hand as he
lay on. the damp gram-and said, in a ten-
der voice :' “I regret it, but it was to be."
The funeral was one of the largest ever

cafes were agog with the story of the

HOW ‘NATCI‘IES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stifi‘cn and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss’ Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and somin'rx and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of soup
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This it
the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied with a valid guarantee
signed by the manufacturers warranting it to
wear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory

The Brave ’Engineer.
“What would you do?” asked the firemen
grim,
Of the sooty engineer,
As the latter turned and looked at him
With a patent golf-coupling sneer,—-
“What would you do if you jumped the track,
With another train in view,
And found you couldn’t stop or back,—
Then what d’yo s’pose you’d do ’1’”
“Do i” cried the sooty engineer,
. With a look of pluck on toast,
“You bet your shovel I’d stay right here,
And perish at my post l”
And the fireman gazed with mute respect
On his chum, and fed the flame,
And wondered if the train were wrecked,
If he would prove as game. '
The engine tore the sfsrlcss night
Into long, thin shreds of dark,
And marked its headlong, reckless flight
With’many a blazing spark;
And the engineer on his locker perched,
Looked down on his humble friend,
Until on a switch the engine lurched
And canted end o’er end I
And there in the broken, stea'ming wreck,
The luckiess fireman lay,
With a badly dislocated neck
And a. general look of decay.
And the passengers gdzod upon the smash,
Where the ditch and the engine bumped,
To see the engineer all hash,

The Old Whaling Captains.
Stories That Have Come Down From 3. Former
Generation.
Of the many anecdotes concerning the
old whaling captains a few are preserved.
After a protracted voyage the good old
ship George andMar'y reached port, leaky
and out of provisions. The owner was
the first person to step aboard of her.
Cement Pipe He mm the captain causally by the
hand. Inquiries were interchanged con-
cerning the health of their respective fam-
ilies, but not a word did the bluff old cap-
tain say about the voyage. The owner
grew anxious, but still the captain chatted
upon domestic topics. At last the own-
er’s patience gave way and he cried out:
“For heaven’s sake, captain. don’t trifle
with my anxiety, but tell me about the
voyage. How much 011 have you got ?"
“Oil, oil?" repeated the old blubbcr
hunter, “I haven’t got a barrel of oil,
.Mr. -—, but I’ve had a h—i of a sail."
On another occasion the gluomiest ap-
prehensions were felt for the safety of the
Arctic whaling fleet. Ten months had
passw, andstill no tidings. Finally word
went forth that a letter had been received
by a shipping firm from one of the Arctic
captains who was a partner in the concern.
The yellow-tinged message, smelling of
smoke and blubbcr and the sea, was
opened in the presence of an eager throng. .
The letter read as follows:

portunity five gallons more of that old

Not a word about the whaling fiect, not
a line"eoncarning its whereabouts or pros-
peels.
Rarely in those days did a sailor get. ar-
rested in New London, but when he did
his story to the magistrate would run
something as follows : >
“Well, cap’n. I hadn’t been ashore
long enough from the old Tecumseh to
shake 011 my son logs, when I cruised
alongside of an old shipmate. I was with
him a Greenland whaling. ‘Shipmate,’
. What o’clock is it?’
‘Eight bells,’ says I, ‘and glad to see you.’ -
‘Then,’ says he, ‘Iet’s splice .the main
brace 3.. We went into the free and easy,
and found ourselves alongside a whole
fleet of shipmatcs. ‘Let’a brace up anti
gather aft,‘ says Ned Carter. and then the
banjo struck up and swung in for a fore
and after. Then We shipped another sea
of grog, and then had a hornpipu. and .
then sang ‘Billy Prime.’ ‘Let’s put the
brail on the gaft,’ and then we all dropped
anchor afore the bar. ‘Lct’s square the
yards,’ says I, arter we had spliced, and
pretty soon, when we had spliced and
bramd and broiled up and squared, the
floor began to rise and fall like a potato
hill sea. We got under way for the street
and then an old ground swell set in. I
grappled with my shipmstus, and we all
tried to ease her when she plunged. Bum
by I parted cables with my comrades and
went pitching ahead in the trough of the
sea."
“The gutter, you mean,’ suggests the
court. . '
Jack nods and continues :—
“Well, I kept a good watch forard;
when I see that clipper butt chap there
(pointing toa policeman) beating down on
me, with the North star on his jacket and
Then I hove to
and he took me in low. I stayed in a
snug harbor ovu§night, and this morning
they run me in 0 this ere dry deck for
repairs.”
' The court Would let Jack off with a
reprimand, whereupon he would give his
honor a handful of yarrow cigars, offer
the policeman an orange, and then roll jo~
vially into the open air.
