A keen north wind was !- in lown llrtwulwar, tillin"; the air witli woaslonal flurries of know, and nijftot had lonfr since oome, though it was only six o'clock. J. Vrnlm Itradshaw, attrncy and counselor at law, stood on the steps of the building in which ha had his otfico and buttoued hi overemtt as he looked up and dowo the now detierUvl street. Far some thirty years h had done the same thiiip at the same hour every day, hen h was not out of town on business he nerer went away for pleasure. He was ifoing; out of town now, as soon as he hat awallowexl his dinner. Lai re and important Irusiness interests of a client called him to the northern part of the state, and it never oeenrred to him to dolay twenty-four hours for A-hat he cnsilere4 a mere question of sentiment. Sunday were pretty much the same to him person alty as any other day, except Jltat they interrapted business. True he had lieen wonderfully auc eeAsful in life, hut he would hare told yon it was entirely o Injf Ut bia own effort;, anil not through any interven tion of I"rovidenee. Shortly after nine o'clock that een iT he walked into a passenjfer car of tht northward bound expresfli in a-t KTt'at a state of irritation as he err permitted himself to indulge in. He had ne(flectel to enfrarje a erth in the sleeper, and now found that he must make the bent of a niptit in a chair. Ho settled himself with the expertness and deliberation horn of ajfe and expori ence. Then he took from hi poeket diMMinients Ix-Hrinsr on the coroinif case and proceMlel to read them. I'rwently he found his mind wander ing, a thinjj it had not done for years., sad. putting' up tue papers, lie turnetl to look out of the window. In erpite of .hadinff; the fflasa with hia hands -nothing was to be seen, but an occasional Irg-ht flashetl into view and out again in aa instant. lie drew back and wat Idly looking before hint till suddenly he Wtm eonsctims that there was something', after nil, to be seen in the window his own reflection. He loked at him self with '(rrowinjr interest: it was the first time in many years he had hud such protretMl pportuuity for study of the subject. lie felt ai if the face opposite Vim )e looked to some familiar stranger, met every day but never known. A man well advanced in life, nenrinjj six ty, perhaps, looked bock at hi in. Hair RTtiy, pettinjr a little thin now; aquiline nose; clear, shrewd-lookinjf eyivs of no particular color, with innumerable fine wrinkles ao.it the comers, as if from constant contraction to enable them the lietter t sn-e throuifh other men. The lips had narrowed almost to a line from lonff compression, and made the entire face lok hanL He had foujjhtthe world sinjrle-hand-ed the hrd, selfish, crusliiny businet. world of a (freat city, and it had marked him as its own. He had wrung- from it wealth, position, recognition of hi ability by other men; but he had (riven in return youth, love, pleasure, all as pirations after Wtter things. All those lonrfintfs and hopes which prove the existence in us of some sparks of a higher nature. His very life he had jfiven to become that most perfect me chanical production of the niaeteenth century entirely a business man. The train slowed tip at a station and a youujf couple fjot in. She was se bright and pretty and eonfidinfr, he ac unceasingly attentive and protecting, the other passengers watched them with interest. The men smiled and tht women sijjhed. They sat in frost of Weedon Hradsh.tw, and something in the tfirl's face quickened his memory and sent his thoughts rushing back into the past lie turned sprain to his window, but the past tss with him and the face that looked back was no longer old and hard. It was a boy's face, handsome, brave and honest, with faith in those clear eyes, and a promise of noble deeds. Other faces were there, too. A lanfrh inp;, winsome pair of eyes peered at him for a moment, and then a gentles sweet, old face smiled sadly at "her lov." He remembered her dreams for iiini; ho realized for the first time how far he had fallen from her ideals. Now he fully understood what she had once said to hlin: "Experience Is sorrow. Only is life happy as we lire it for other. The face was a man's now; hand some still, but an eager look had come into the eyes, and the month was more firmly act. He was startinp; out into the world anxious for kn.rwledjfe of it; determined to fipht snd conquer. Clearly the nipht he left home came back to him. .she of the laughing eyes was with him. but they laughed no longer. Tears were brimming over snd the little lips too tremulous for words. , He held her hand snd a mlphty trog-' pie went on within him. He knew w hnt the tears meant snd he lonped to take her in his arras; but pride snd cau tion whispered: "Wait! You have the world before yoii. And so he swUc no word, but left bar. lie had never really meant t pivc bvr up. He iv'vrHv'l in tli: near future "HI IS A riSIHiM WHOM TUB TRCTTa EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY. AUGUST 7.

So the days passed by atavl lie never went back. Then he hoard that another had won her, and for a moment J. Wee. Ion Urad shaw admitted to himself that he had possibly made a iuiatake in life after alL In cwunn of time he married his part ner's dauyhUr. He paid her bills, treitUd her with respectful considera tion, and when she died regretted the unfortunate circumstance. Hut her face had ru placo on the window. The yemtlt of the past was crying to the man f to-day for reparation and would axyt be wilouocd. by dil you treat me so? he cried. ""Why did you slillu my love, teaching rao this terrilde. absolute iualilferencti te everything gotad tr lad? Why dnl you train me to think that money and what money could buy was the be&t in life and nothing els.i mattered? What have you given me in return for youth, love and lilerty?' And Weedon Uradshaw bowed his bead in sileneo. Dead sea fruit. Clearly he saw now, as in the light of noonday, the life he had missed. The life of love and higher aspiration, the abnegation of self that leads to the "larger heart the kindlier hand. All this he saw, and groaned in pi rit. On through the night rnYhed the ex press; but side by side with it kept the phantom train filled with the ghosts of Weedon Uradshaw past. The young bride had gone to sleep with her head on her husband's shoulder and the other asscngera were ia vari ous stages of uncojtseiunsnesat. Suddenly a violent, shuddering jerk throughout the train a mighty crash and heaving, and then silence more ter rible. Sailnnce for a moment's apace only, however; then cries, questions, exclam ations a wild confusion of tongues. The engine had jumped the track on a down grade and half dragged the baggage car with it; Tont the passenger coaches were only badly shaken. It would have been a terrible disaster but for the quickness and nerve of the en gineer he stopped the train fas ita own length, but his Ufa was the prion. The crowd grew Ulnnt as they stood about the wreck and that motionless object now stretched upon the roadside. They peered into each other's palt faces, scarcely visible by the lliekering light of a few lanterns carried in nor tous hands. Thank (sod! they were all safe but one man had given up his life for them. Ue did hia duty nobly, they said, and then began to think how they could continue their journey. It was not that they were unfeeling only "practical; there was nothing to be done and they were in a hurry. Only Ilradshaw remained standing by the body he felt shaken, unnerved, stranguly old. Those aii'ent lips seemed bidding him stay. - A voice was speak ing to him through them unheeded by other ears: "Kven as I am wilt thou he. Charlotte Bogera, ' In Leslie. Newspaper.

He is scanning the horiaou north, south, east and west, carefully noting every little patch of clouds and whis tling with all of his ul for a wind. This Is one of the old. old superstitions of the sailor, one of the Is-liefs which has bv.en traced hither and thither, but never to the propitiation of tho gods. It probably had it origin in the impatience of the mariner, who, while 'tis vessel lay drifting idly in the "Zone f Csdins." reineiulered with regret .he hoarse moaning, shrieking and whittling of the winds in the more fa vorel spots on the deep and involuntar ily tried to imitate it. And this suppo sition is strengthened by the character of the whistling, for it must be remem bered that the becalmod sailor does not whistle "Annie Liiurio or auy of the popular songs of the day. The lone some thrill of his monotonous "whistle" is a series of polyglot Mounds that would set a magpie wild with envy. He does not aim at a rhythm, but ejects his puffs of air in loug and short notes, now high, now low, like the sounds produced by the wind blowing through the ropes of the rigging.

Dtaeamalac the Different Things One Llhee tat Kat. Among the many things that are hard to understand is the fancy entertained by so many people, that other people will bo interested to hear at considera ble length what they like to eat and what they do not like to eat. There tmma to be nothing of very great in terest to one's friends in the fact that one is passionately fond of cabbage and onions; and yet. next to the weather, the most frequent subject of conversation is probably the subject of eatables. 'lf there's anything I dote on." said Mrs. Chubb, "it's a nice leg of mutton with a butter gravy and capers. And I like But," says Mrs. Kcragg. breaking in. "is there anything more horrid than pickled tripe? I can't bear it." "My favorite sr-uce, Mrs. Chubb continues, '"is fried apple sauce; and scalloped apples I can't get enough of." "Laws exclaims Mrs. Seragg. "you don't say ho! No kind of fruit agrees with me. And 1 don'tsee how anybody can eat those miserable thing they call olives." So they go on for an hour. "Well, X must h going." says Mrs. Seragg. ris ing at last. "We're had a real pleas ant time:" Throughout the whole interview Mrs. Chubb has been talking about the things she likes, and Mrs. Seragg has been talking about the things she does not like. Each one has been following her own temperament; and while she has not been at all interested in what the other has said she has been greatly interested in what she herself has said This principle of compromise is gen erally the ba-sis of these little conver sations about food. "How would it do," ail one man to another, when, on a long railway jour ney, their conversation had lagged, "to tell each other what we like to eat, and divide the time?" "Capital:" said tho other. "You tell me for ten minutes what you like best, and then I'll call time on yon. and tell you what I like." "And then I begin again in ten min utes more? "Certainly." It was agreed, snd for a mortal honr the two men rotated to each other the smallest details of their very dissimilar food-likings, in ten minute speeches. At the end of that tiina the porter passed through the car and announced that dinner waa ready in tho dining car. "Good' exclaimed one. "I'm so hungry I could eat anything." "So could I." said the other. Then they went in and ate exactly the same things, which were practically the same that both had eateu the day be fore. Youth's Companion. UN HORNED CATTLE. The M.ler Cow" Siuiplr Freaak of Natara. Kverrone is familiar with the ani mal which, in the country districts of America, ia called the "muley cow," or as it is sometimes spelled, the "mooly Mw. She is an animal without horns. Generally ane nas not tost tnem, but has never had them, fihe has the rep utation of being a very good milch cow, but particularly ill-natured. Though at least one "muley cow" may be found in most large herds, in a great part of the country, and though p died cattle, as hornless cattle are also ! called, are sometimes exhibited at fairs, it has never, probably, occurred i to anyone until lately that a race of hornless cattle ought to be bred or de vehied on account of a greater econ omy in raising and nourishing them. Much a notion, however, has been broached by an American eat tie-raiser. He maintains that, in raising young homed cattle, and, for that matter, in keeping grown-up cattle, a considerable share of the nutriment given them goes to their horns. Tb same gentleman argues that the horns of domestic cattle are a relic of barbarism a survival of a means of defense associated with a wild life, and arc now niA only no longer needed, but positively mischievous. The horned bullies of a herd get more and the weaker ones leas than their share of the fodder. lint how are the horns to be got rid of? Itegularly cutting off the horns of young csttje will not prevent subse quent generations of young cattle from developing herns as they grow to ma turity, any more than the shaving of men's hesrds-for many generations mskes men beardless. There is a way, however, in which it could be done. A certain proportion of rattle turn out to be hornless. If only such cattle were used to breed from, undoubtedly a great proportion of their offspring would be hornless, and in the course of time a race of unhorned cat tle would be produced among which, however, individuals with horns would probably be even more common than hornless cattle are now. Domestication has undoubtedly re duced the size of csttle's horns consid-. erably. Under domestication, the horns are much less used, and consequently are inferior; but they are net got rid of altogether except in rare cases, and then seemingly only by a freak of na ture. Youth's Companion. The Prealdattit'a Trip. Attention is eallvd by the New York Herald to the fact that throughout all the president's journey' around the circle of ten thousand miles his train pursued its prearranged schedule, pass ing from one line of railroad to an other and from state to state without so much as five minutes delay from any csure whatever. It met with no acci dent, snd over all the long route the presidential party were enabled to en joy their habitual routine of life, sleeping, eating, bathing, reading, writing and talking with aa little dis comfort as if they had been seated in the white house, with the added com fort of not being annoyed by ofBoe eeekers. This feature of the journey is a remarkable tribute to American railway management. It could not lie repeated in any other country in the world.

Why Sarah and Ira Were Never Married. The story of how nesrly Sarah noehstetler came to marry Ira Tincher in 1S7I has grown to be a part of the history of Oregon county. Mo. Ira i ; still a comparatively young man, and Sarah is still w.-U on the sunny side of fifty, but Jim Humes, whom she did marry, has been under the gravel and rocks that cover his forty-acre farm for, these ten years or more. Sarah Humes still lives on the farm, but in spite of the fact that she is husbandlees and yet under fifty, she will never become the wife of Ira Tincher, though for years these two loved and swore a devotion that should have its ending even be yond the grave, if then. Old Jim liurnea lived near Alton, in the center of the county, and young Ira worked for him. Humes was fifty three and Tincher was twenty-two. They had been together a year, when the young man surprised his employer by telling him that he was soon to marry Sarah Iloohstcler, who made he. home with "the folks," a few mile from the Howell county line, on the Wea-t l'laius road. "tioiu ter marry Saryr exclaimed old Hurries. "Why. Iry. she's oldcr'n you be, an' weddin'h cr that sort alius turns out bad." The oia man looiten severely at his young "hand." and Ira looked at the ground. Ilnrncs was gray and bewhis kereL but his form was as straight as a hickory sapling. His rough hands were tucked under his trousers and he sUxxl with arms akimlto, eying tho youth who stood liefore him, "An besides." went on old Humes, "I've been keepin eomp'ny with Nary m'self fer morc'n two years, an' she's jiat right for er man like me. I've gut ter farm, an I'm old ernuff. an an ter tell thor truth, an not shock ycr nerves too much, Iry, I kinder reckon ahe likes me." "What" exclaimed the young farm hand, "you an my Sary:" He stopped and buried his face in his hands. "Thar, boy," resumed old Burnes, softly, "don't fuss. Kz I said, Sary is er year older n you, au she's on'y been er fool in. Sary thinks you aa on'y her boy, an' she kaint he'p her look in up ter me, yer know. My land an"" Ira slipped away while the old man talked. True enough, he thought to himself, he was only a boy. He put his hand to his face. There was no beard there only little bunches of short, straggling hairs around his cltin and up toward his ears. He kept walk ing for an hour, not thinking where he was going only thinking of Sary and her pretty ways her clean, homes-pun dresses and her merry laugh. Then he Stopped. "She said she liked me an she said she'd marry mc in ther summer, an she never said nothin erbout old Jim. But he's cr deacon in ther church, an he wouldn't lie erbout it an Sary, ht. never got er "ligion, an so she's been er foolin me." That was Ira's way of looking at it He studied the whole situation over and over that afternoon. In the even ing he went back to the Burners csbin down in the valley, and after he had done the chores he went to old J im and asked for his money. "There's er leetle eomin. I reckon, he said, "an I'm goin' down inter t Arkinsaw." -Coin ter quit?" aMced old Burner, carelessly. "Well, sorry yer kaint stay fer ther weddin", but byars yer money, an' I hope yer'll have Inck." He paid his hand in hin-plaster he only owed him four dollars wages for a month and Ira put on his hat, and gathering up the few things he had. walked out of the little cabin. Ho left old Burnes seatod in front of the rough log fireplace, squirting tobacco juice against the dying cmlers, close to which the calloused soles of his bare feet were being toasted. The Oli fel low did not look up uutil he was sure tbat Ira must be gone. Then he rose, and putting on his cowhide boots, pre pared to leave the place. "Thet war easy, he murmured. "Now, ef he don't go over ter Sary's to find out erbout it, I kin tell ther gal most anything. He'll jest erbout go thar ter say good-by ter her yes, he'll do it, sure sure he'll do it, Yes, 111 go an beat him thar." Old Burnes hastened into his best coat, and grasping a stout stick, went out He slipped a yoke over his oxen, and in a moment was in the West l'lains road, urging the slow animals west ward. , It was after eight o'clock when he came in sight of the Hoehstetler home. The folks had not gone to Wd. for there was a light visible through the open door and through the chinks in the cabin walL He stopied the oxcU and jumping nimbly from his old trap. postage per fear In advance.

"Well, Sary," respondod the old fel low, "no, not thot, but it's erbout Iry that I came here ternight. I reckon as it ain't pleasant news 1 bring yer, but ter be short an' sweet erbout it. Iry's run off an' gone ter Arkansaw, tcx mar ry er widdcr down erbout Mountain Home." The girl looked at old Burnes stornly for a moment and then came over to his side. "Are yor tellin me ther truth?" she asked earnestly. "Not r foolin'. Uncle Jim?" "Hones' faeks," wu old Burnes' re sponse, "an I hopes yer'll not take it bard." Sarah had spirit. "Take it hard?" slut echoed. "Wall, I guess not- I thorter heap er Iry, an' he said he never'd love nobody else. He war golu ter marry me party soon, an he said he'd come ter-night ter fix up things. See," and Sarah stood back a foot or so, "here's the dress an" flxin's I got, an" I put "cm on ter-night for Iry ter pass on." The girl's eyes were filling with tears as she talked, and old Burnes almost felt mean enough to sink out of sight through the dirt floor. Sarah dashed the teardrops away and tried to smile to show how little sho cared, but it was such an effort that shie turned back Into the dark to hide her faoe from the searching eye of the old mountaineer. Young Tincher had not forgotten his engagement, but he didn't have the heart to keep it- He struggled with himself for an hour after ho left old Burnes, walking through the woods toward the homo of the Hochstetlers. At length he resolved to at least say good-by to Saralu "It kaint d no harm." he muttered, "an I wanter do it." He walked fast, but it was late when he got within sUrht of the home of the girl he loved. He saw a light there, and it rather surprised him. "Funny," he muttered, "but 'taint much funnier 'n what old Jim told me ter-day. Keepin' eomp'ny fer two years with Sary! Oh. the hussy: Ira stood in the darkness outside of the cabin. It was a still night in thu f-pring, and despite the trilling fire that were still kept up. the door re mained wide opon. Ira peeped in. Sarah had a visitor old Hornes! The young farmhand's heart almost stood still. How pretty Sarah was. She had on a dress that he had never seen be fore, and Ira thought her nearer an angel than he thought angels them selves could be. He sighed almost so loud that the inmates of the bouse could hear him. Then he put his hand to his face and felt- tne r-traggling bits of beard. Tears came into his eyes, and he walked away. "Old Jim told the truth," he mur mered. "I aiut old crnufT ner good ernuff for sech as Sary, an' he is. I war fooled, thet's all." Old Burnes was not long in convinc ing Sarah that she ought to marry him and before June had come with her wealth of sunshine and roses and songs of birds, the circnit rider was stopped by the deacon, and the two were mar ried. Sarah went to the little cabin that old Burnes bad lived in since his first wife died, long before, and for several months made it an earthly Heaven for the old uiau. Something brought young Tincher back to Oregon befoi-e the year wa over, and he went to see old Burnes and Sarali. Jim was not at home, but Sarah gave her old flame an unexpect edly warm welcome. They talked for an hour or so and one thing brought on another until Ira asked Sarah he just couldn't help it w hy she gave him up. The whole thing was out in ten minutes, and Ira went away. He had an ugly look in his eye and his sullen ness alarmed Sarah. Old Burnes w as home an hour later and bis wife told him that Ira had been there. The old man did not say a word, but when Sarah was through with her 6tory, he got his old gun aud carefully reloaded both barrels and gave the hammer an oiling. Sarah shivered and went nerv ously about preparing the supper. With every breath she admonished old Burnes not to le rash, but her husband was mum. It was nearly sundown when the brush parted and Ira Tincher, with a gun across his shoulder, stopped into the cleared place. The old man did not say a word, but stepping to the door, raised his weapon and 11 red at the approaching figure. Ira did not stop, but as quick as a flash returned the shot. Old Burnes did not speak. His gun fell and a seoond later he followed it He had a bullet in his heart. Ira gave himself up and pleaded self defense. It was a long fight, and the young farmhand's neck was saved, but he got ninety-nine years. The only reason that he never be came tha husband of Sarah Burnes, nee Hoch-tetler, is that Sarah lives in Ore gon county, on the sunny side of fifty, while Ira ia spending his days withir. the gray walls of a state penitentiary.
