The
Goodly Company.
A loyal heart for a loyal friend,
And love for those that love you,
A fearless soul to the journey’s end,
Whatever skies above you ;
A laugh for luck in the dawn’s glad light,
And a song where the night shall find you,
And the road you travel is brave and bright,
Though Fate ride fast behind you!
For loyal friends make a bold array,
And love is a charm to shield you,
And a fearless soul drives thoughts away
That to defeat would yield you ;
And a laugh is a spell for gladness cast.
And a song so strong shall find you
That the coward Fate, from first to last,
Rides shivering far behind you!
— Ripley D. Saunders, in St. Louis Republic.
THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
‘‘It will be all right now ; don’t you
worry, sir,’ said Martin ; and with a
quick realization of the loneliness of the
forlorn knight before him, he lifted one
gaunt hand and softly stroked it as his son
might have done. ‘You know about my
Peter ?”’ said Stuyvesant wistfully.
Martin nodded. ‘‘Yes, it was hard.”
‘““Wasn’t it? I had given up every-
thing. So had his mother. She died.
The poor lad was hiding and could not
see her. Then, they—you know. He
died there. His wife married again.
There wus one little girl ; she must be a
young lady now. The miniature is for
her. It is her grandmother. They have
never wished me to see her. Her mother
is dead and I discovered their feelings and
did not intrude. I should like to tell you
that the bank is entirely paid, principal
and interest. And I hope you understand
that Peter did not intend dishonesty. Had
he lived I feel he would have retrieved
everything. He was a man of great ability
—great. It would have been very differ-
ent. He died suddenly; I didn’t get
there in time. The—the officials there
were very kind to me. I did not have the
money to take my son home to lie beside
his mother and the others; but he rests
well, I think, where he is ; and they were
most kind to him and to me.”’
“They ought to be,” said Martin. He
had beard the whole pitiful story—far less
softly colored—from the doctor. It was
through the warden of the penitentiary
that the doctor had ern of Peter
Stuyvesant’s identity with the honest man
who had saved the bank, even after his
son’s name was hopelessly smirched and it
was beyond the power of the bank direct-
ors or the president to save him from the
prison where he died. Before Martin’s
eyes was the picture, drawn by the doc-
tor’s few nervous sentences, of an old man
haggard with a long journey, baring his
head in his antique courtesy hefore a prison
guard and faltering his piteous inquiry.
Even the guard was kind. Well, Martin
could believe it ; his heart swelled again
over some of the details of the story. ‘‘He
made his last remittance to the bank not
80 long ago,’’ the doctor had said; “‘the
express clerk at the branch office and I are
friends, and he told me that Le never saw
quite so many nickles and pennies in
twenty-seven dollars, It made me sick
thinking how the poor fellow must have
pinched. I've been hunting him ever
since, and just found him to-day. I
haven’t got rich myself, yet ; but I could
have done something for him, on the sly,
if I’d known. I don’t know how he
lived.”
Martin wondered himself.
“Isn’t it good, Janey, it’s all over?”
murmured Peter Stuyvesant. He did not
know he spoke aloud, or perhaps his mind
had strayed away. ‘‘I’m sorry about the
funeral, but they needn’t put my name
down ; there’s such a kind young man ;
he looks like Petey ; he’ll see. Maybe if
I’d lived a month or two longer I could
have saved it, but it was getting so hard to
think—"’
He sighed, and seemed to doze. “The
morphine’s quieting him,”’ thought Mar-
tin ; ‘‘excites the imagination first, the
doctor says, then quiets. Jove, isn’t he
Don Quixote come to life! And that rip
of a son, going the pace, and so slick he got
the other fellow in, and then unloaded on
him! He was clever, though, and bus for
a slip in the cog he might have saved his
skin and got the money back. I wonder
how he felt when he was dying. I'll
swear I’ll try to run straight and never
give my old boy sach—musn’t it have
hurt, though! Now, how to get him
through, straight!” -
The young reporter sat down by the
table to think, and in so doing his idly
fumbling band gave him his clue, for it
upturned the notes which Stuyvesant had
ade for his unwritten story. Martin
shut his eyes and heat a noiseless tattoo to
an inandible whistle. Then he fell fu-
rionsly to writing, Atintervals he would
glance at the bed. The first time he met
a responsive giance in Peter Stuyvesant’s
‘eyes he wheeled around nimbly. “Do you
know what I'm doin, / he called cheer-
fully. “I’m stealing jour notes to work |
““‘All-right,’’ said the doctor ; ‘‘I’ll stay
myself.” :
The hack was waiting and Martin drove
over to the office, where he found the city
editor and unloaded his tale with a concise
eloquence which moved the city editor
enough to make him take a sharp turn
across tne floor and once or twice look hard
out of the window at the opposite chimney
pots. And here’s the story,,’ said Martin
at the last sentence, pulling the wad of pa-
per out of his pocket.
The city editor took it, and without
looking at it sat down and wrote his
voucher ; and Martin’s eyes shone. I hope
you write as slick as you talk,” growled
the city editor. ‘‘Say I'll telephone those
Cleveland folks ; I know about them.”’
““That’s awfully good of you ; maybe
it’s a little cheeky, my using the name of
the paper—"’
Only way to deal with those ducks.
You be waiting, and when Cleveland an-
swers you can go to the bat.”’
Therefore it fell out that in about twen-
ty minutes, Haddock, whose desk was con-
tiguous to the long-distance telephone,
heard the following one-sided conversa-
tion : *
Ring.
Martin’s voice said calmly : “Yes, I'm
Mr. Martin Wallace. Yes, this is the city
office of the —— ——.’" Short pause.
“‘I may as well tell you that I know all
the facts in his life. Look here, the old
man is a regular Bayard ; he has gone
through everything like a—a—brick. He
sacrificed his fortune and his prospects—*’
Slight pause, during which Martin’s hand,
which was not bolding the transmitter,
clinched and smote the air.
‘‘Perhaps you look at it that way, but
the people generally like an honest man
and a brave man; and I’ve got the story all
ready to print ; it’s hot stuff—.’" Very
short pause, Martin shrugging his shoul-
ders.
‘‘You misunderstand me ; I am not pro-
posing to print it if I can help it.”” Short
pause.
‘You misunderstand me still more, and
you insult me, and the paper which I have
the honor to represent. Cool off a little.
I don’t want—Mr. Stuyvesant wouldn’t
take from yon a nickle. Have you got
that? I am not saying anything about
the way you have treated a man whose
boots you and I are not worthy to black—by
Jove, we're not! I'm not in that, at all.
He has lived in poverty and heartbreak
and paid off the last cent he owes, and he
has enough to bury him, simply ; and
that’s all he wants of money. He’s done
with money. What he wants is io see bis
granddaughter——'' Short pause.
‘‘I think if you consider you will per-
ceive that it is not at all impossible. She
can take the evening train and be here to-
morrow morning. I will meet you—-7"
Short pause. Martin grins.
‘“You will find she will learn consider-
ably more of the painful circumstances
about her father if you don’t let her come.
I shall see to that little matter myself. I
am going to tell the truth, if it makes her
mother’s family look like thirty cents——"'’
Short pause. Martin grows very red.
‘It’s lucky for you you’re talking at a
safe distance. Do I understand youn re-
fuse ?’’ Short pause.
*‘I assure you that it will be managed
with every consideration. There is no
need that she discover anything painful
——+! Short pause, Martin smiled bit-
terly.
"Right easy. The poor fellow is sure to
die and get out of any danger of annoying
you. All that is necessary is for the
young lady to take a ‘not very uncomfort-
able journey and say a few kind words to a
noble gentleman whom they will make
very happy. I think she will be glad she
did it all the rest of her life. I know she
will.” Rather long pause.
*‘No, I can’t wait ; I want to go back to
Mr. Stuyvesant. Besides the story about
him ought to go—what’s that ?’’ Short
pause. :
*“You’ll have to decide without consulfs
ing— T beg pardon #’ Short pause.
‘You have Mr. Curwen’s word for my
responsibility ; but that goes for nothing ;
it is the paper that will be responsible.
I’m asking nothing unreasonable——?’
Short pause.
“Thank you. But any decent man
would do as much. Mr. Stuyvesant is one
of our men and we think highly of him.
Then I understand that Miss Stuyvesant
——?’ Short pause.
“Very well. I shall have a carriage
there. I think you are acting wisely.”
Short pause, in which Mr. Martin makes a
scornful grimance in marked contrast to
the silken smoothness of his voice.
“‘Assuredly. Very painful and per-
plexing ; but Miss Stuy—er—er—Jones
will understand ; and, after all, it is the
last scene in the tragedy.” Short pause.
‘Thank you. Very well. I will see
you to-morrow.”
Martin replaced the transmitter and
shook his fist again.
‘‘“Won out ?”’ said Haddock.
“Idid. I had my nerve with me and a
free and independent press behind me.
Say, though, what do you think of folks
that will call a girl named Stuyvesant

I had to spend for—my son. ‘‘Ob, itis a

" ‘‘Everything,’’ repeated Martin stead-
ily. al
Then again he fell to working. After
awhile the doctor returned. He felt the
old man’s pulse, looked after the poultices
and applications which Martin ‘had applied
and went away. Stuyvesant had asked
him, ‘‘There isn’t any chance of recovery,
is there ?”’ with an anxiety that puzzled
the doctor, who began on a professional
platitude of hope ; but Martin spoke ont :
Tell the truth ; it is what he wants.”’.
“I am-afraid—"’ the doctor faltered.
“That’s all right,”’ said Peter Stuyves-
ant, smiling; ‘‘thank you very much,
doctor,”? "7
Martin, in the hall, asked the doctor,
**How long? : :
‘‘He has rallied ; perhaps twenty-four
hours. Do you want. a nurse?’
“No ; he’s got a granddaughter ; I think
he would like to see her ; she lives only a
night from here——’’
“‘She won’t come—"’ :
““Won’t she?’ said Martin setting his
boyish lips. :
“Does he want her very much?’
‘“Yes ; he’s heen rambling a good zal
and talking to his wife about her, wishing
he could tell about her. I can find out
about her if I can’t get her here.”’

said old Peter Btuyvesant. He spoke |
| feebly, makibg ni effort over his words.
The dostor looked at him sharply. - Then |
his eye traveled to his watch. ‘He was
to be here in a few minutes,’’ he said. His
brow wrinkled ; he was pondering whether
it would be safe to tell the old man ahout
the one who was coming ‘ with Martin ; he
hated to disappoint him, that was all ;
but he certainly would give hin the antic-
ipation if—— Under a pretext of ar-
ranging the clothes he got his fingers on

‘‘If you will step this side, Miss—-"’
began the doctor. hesitating over the
name. ;
“Amy Stuyvesant,”’ said she quietly,
but her voice was distinctly audible ; ‘“‘my
name is Amy Stuyvesant.’’
‘‘And as she spoke she bent over and
kissed the hand on the coverlet.
“Thank you, miy dear,”” said Peter
Stuyvesant ; I’m glad you’ve got the old
name back. There’s no stain on it——"’
*‘No,’’ said Martin.
““He’s a good lad, Janey,” said Peter
Stuyvesant ; he’s done it ; and Ralph has
forgiven us. It’s a very pleasant day,
gentlemen ; thank you—my poor boy
would have thanked you. It’s all right.
Thank you. Don’t forget, Mr. Wallace;
there’s one day over the rent. You have
cnough ?7?
‘‘Plenty, sir ; plenty.”
‘‘He smiled, being almost past speaking.
Only once he spoke again, opening his
eyes on the fair young face above him and
whispering in a great and joyous surprise :
‘‘Why, Janey, did you come yourself!"
Then he closed his eyes peacefully, and in
a little while the doctor touched his wrist,
then laid his ear to a heart that could
never ache again, and gently covered his
face.— Octave Thanet in Saturday Evening

A Feminine Mix-np.
Mrs. Carrie Nation and Mrs. John Schilling in a
Street Brawl.
A street fight occurred at Enterprise,
Kan., on last Thursday between women,
led on one side by Mrs. Carrie Nation, the
saloon-wrecker, and on the other by Mrs.
John Schilling, wife of the manager of the
saloon-wrecked. Mrs. Schilling was back-
ed by a dozen female friends.
As a result of the fight Mrs. Nation
swore out warrants against Mrs. Schilling
and her husband and Mrs. Bittner, charg-
ing them with assault, and Mrs. Hoffman
swore out a warrant against Mis. Nation,
charging her with disturbing the peace.
All were arrested, taken hefore Judge
Holt and released on bond.
' Mrs. Nation, in company with Mrs. Hoff-
man and other members of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance union, entered a
store near William Schook’s saloon. Mis,
Nation, apparently to give him warning
that she would attack his place, sent for
Schook. He replied to the summons in
person, and while talking fo Mrs. Nation
she was assanlted by a crowd of women or-
ganized since Thursday night's raid, and
who had been waiting the threatened de-
struction of saloon property, :
A general fight between the women en-
sued, during which a woman heavily veil-
ed rained blow after blow upon Mrs. Na-
tion with a horsewhip. Male spectators
offered no aid to either side, and quiet was
restored only when the police interfered.
Mrs. Nation was badly bruised.
Tried to Change Her Color.
Mulatto Could Find No One to Marry Her to White
Youth With Whom She is Enamored.
With the face annointed with oil and
swarthed in folds of cotton. Jessie D. Ash-
ton, a once comely mulatto, lies at the
home of her employer, Dr. Harry B.
Vaughn, of Norristown, N.J., suffering
great agony from injuries inflicted on her-
self in her attempt to turn her complexion
white.
For several months Jessie has beeii deep-
ly in love with Ralph Bixby, a white
youth, who is Dr. Vaughn’s coachman,and
her affections have been reciprocated. The
two have asked every minister and justice
of the peace in town to marry them, but
views against miscegenation are rather
strong there and in every case the lovers
have met with refusals.
