The folks were all In bed !
Sho softly oped the kitchen door,
And went Into the shed.
She found somo kerosene tn there,
And with It she returned s
The smoking wood begran to flare,
And then moro brightly burned.
The girl In pride looked all around,
And then (he smiled In Rlee.
Then came a burst of thunder sound !
Tho girl oh I where was she?
Ask of the fragments which you soo
Upon the kitchen floor ;
Theso woro the girl, hut they'll not l.o

Or were It a star, heaven would lend It
To light the shadow'd world.

Lest tome mighty klngwould see and steal It,

A TANGLE, STRAIGHTENED.
Dick Towers dropped lits loiter with
a pror.ii. It fell by the Bie of Its long,
slim envelope on tbe table. 1h envelope
boro upon its back tbe faint impres
sion of n dove holding in its bill n float
ing ribbon, upon the ends of which was
written in u quaint and flue little band,
the direction to Mr. Richard Powers.
Again that nmn groaned, throwing his
arms on tbe table, i.nd bidiug bis dis
tressed face in his sleeve.
Tho other occupant of tho room sat
witb bis beels on tbe window-sill, iiid
his chair tilted back at n fearful angle,
Ho smoked, raised -his eyebrows, looked
at bis miserable companion, and went on
smoking.
'Ibe letter, bnlf-fnlded upon its pre
cise and lady-like creases, lay face np
w rd, ntid the lines betrayed the same
quaintly girlish handwriting, all the
down strokes, primly shaded, each capi
tal fiincitnlly twirled. "Dear Richard,"
it begun qunrkerishly, and then it said,
tearfully, "I haven't hoard from you
for so long." There was a tonoh of
tonderuGss in every sentence, and n
something thai told bow simple the
little writer must have been. Somehow
it all gave rise to a picture of a suu-
bonnot and a calico dress, a pair of
timidly nffectionato eyes, ant, a petkttl
chin with dimplo in it. On the next
page the letter went on plaintively :
"Grandpa i-ti't'very well sinca bo has
bad that sickness last winter, and nheu
ho coughs sn, it shake him all over
And oh 1 Hiohaid, I'm afraid he never
is going to bo well again. Wouldn't it
be dreadful to have him die and me
hero nil alono wilhont yon ?" Then
followed a world of confidence in the
wotdii . "Hut if graudpa should die, I
s'jould.come straight to yon, and oh,
how happy wo would be then, wouldn't
we?" Wandering on in this loving
strain till the end of the third page, the
letter closed with "Affectionately your
own Martha."
Bye-and-by tbe young man in the tilted
chair, eyeing his friend meditatively,
suld :
" Your letter don't seem to make you
happy, somehow, Dick."
" Oh, Al 1 if you could only knou
what a villain I am I" was the rejoinder.
in a muflled tons from tho folds of the
sleeve.
At lost ono eyebrow wont up acd one
came down. " Well, it's very likely."
He looked lazily through the window at
a group of loungers before the hn'el op
polle and then continued InrilOrrentiy:
" What's it nil about, anyhow ?"
Just read that 1" was the reply as
Dick passed " AfiV-ctlonately your own
Martha's" letter toward him.
Fisher read the letter through careful
ly. "I should say thisii a very sweet lit
tle girl, he remarked, musingly.
So sho is, so sbo is 1" said Dick
straightening up. "She's just the
sweetest and most confiding little thin,
in the world, is Martha. That's what
hurts mo so. Sbo hasn't u doubt that I'm
as true as true blue, because she's truth
all the way through herself, and I'm
worse than a bruie, I am, Al 1"
'If the state of affairs which now dawns
upon me dimly is as it seems, I rather
think you are myee'f."
'Confound it! You're so banged cool
it riles me," said Dick, blushing. Jut
iinigine ynurelf in my place for nn in
staut. Six yean ago when I was nine
teen, I first fell in love, and I've teen
doing it ever since, with decent intervals
between. Little Marthy was fifteen theu,
a llttla wild-rose Vermont girl, just us
shy, and as tweet, and unsophisticated
as that letter and all her other letters
som to eay she is ; yet I feel like a boy
of nineteen in love with her again,to talk
about it to you. Like the great calf that

I wouldn't give up Kate if I could, and I
don't see how I could give up Martha if
I would.
A silence fell between tho two then, in
which tbe lall of n cigar ash might have
echoed, and tbe twilight, stealing down-,
came like a veil to cover silenco.
It was fully six months later when
K.ito Richardson walked into a sleeping
cur at Omaha, lolloweit by baggago aud
,a porter, ner btep was so quick and
confident, her aceouterments vere so ap
propriate and tho porter followed her
with so deferential an air, that the pas
seugerj, making themselves coWorlalile
ou cither side of tho aisle, looked after
lier with great respect for her style.
"Very common sort of people; shan't
make the acquaintance of any of them,"
Miss Richardson thought, as she observ
cd them in n glance, without seeming to.
She paused near the middle of tho car.
Put my things here," sho said to the
porter. "I have tho whole section, and
you may pile them all on the front scat."
olio sat down on the back scat and
spread her skirts comfortably, took out
her silk handkerchief and wiped her
lips, sighed as if enduring a penaoce,
smoothed tbe collar of her ulster un.l
thought what a bora crossing the conti
nent was. Tho prominent settit g of a
ring, visible under her glove, made one
forefinger noticable, and it might havii
been tenderness or not. but she placed
her elbow on the arm of her seat and
rested her Hps upon it.
In the meantime the car was rapidl)
filliug. There was much talk between
the passengers and porter, and trom her
square at tho window sbo could see piles
of trunks being carried forward. Dy-aud-byo
the cars pave a little shake and
quiver, as if rousing ; then a jerk, a
dizzr, gliding motion, aud then Miss
Richardson became conscious that .
one spoke to ber. It was a voice that
was apology itself, as it said :
'Oh, if you please, ma'am, it's a mi
take, and I've had so many mistakes ;"
and it was almost a cry for help. It had
color iu its checks and its lips, a little
mouth and a shiny light iu its hazel
eyes. It carried a portmanteau, and the
porter towered above all with a patron.
iztng air.
Miss Richardson was disturbed. "But
porter," said she, "1 had engaged the
whole of this section. I don't want at y
one in with mo. I shall have no place to
put my things."
The hazle eyes wero turned piteon" ly
upou her, but the voice was tinged wilh
a bit of dignity, albeit touched with tears
as it answered
"Never mind ) perhaps there's another
half bection unoccupied,
'They ain't no other one, 'thont it's a
gentlemau's in tho lower birth, if you
don't miud that, miss," said the porter.
The distressed taoe was a picture.
"Oh, well, well I" Miss Richardson iu
terposed iu a borod tone. "I suppose I
shall be able to mauago somehow, and I
dare say that we shall be comfortable
enough,"
The portmanteau was placed as a snug
companion to tho Btylish traps in tbe
front seat, and the little woman mado
herself quite small in the corner furthest
irom ner grana companion, never bo
much as attempting to steal a glance
from tbe window monopolized by Miss
Richardson's elbow, But presently she
leaned toward'' Mies Richardson and
touched her should- r soitly,
"I am so very much obliged to you,''
she add, gratefully, "and I in sure
shan't inenmmodo you any more than I
can help'
Mia Richardson made ber a gracious
reply, and soon became interested iu ber

it. Tho afternoon was pAssiug. The

never havo the courage to go in and cat

and I don't know whero tosit,and I can't
find my own car when I'm ready to come
back-"
So it was that Miss Richardson cama
to Lave a. charge, and, somehow, so much
clinging timidity opposed to her own in-
depeudenco seamed a sort of bond. Be
fore tho second day was out she had giv
en lir tlalnty ana pretty companion a
petting tap or two, short and contented
laughter bubbled up between them, con
fidential undertones of talk frequently
passed from one to the other, and Miss
Richardson leaned forward and said :
"I haven't any idea wbut youmame i
I think that it ought to bo posy.tbough.''
And then the small woman laughed as
sho answered ;
It kn't though, it's' Martha Martha
Fairchild."
And then tho "magnificent, gorgeous,
radiant Kute" replied, just as sho would
have carcscd a bird :
"Ah! and I shall call yon Martha,
theu, shall I not ?"
Not ono dim thought of warning had
she, not a singlo swift feeling of recoil,
not an idea that sho was huiging to luart
a rival she who held Bway among men
with wallz, and tete-a-tete, and repartoo.

Richardson began to hum a little, in her
sort contralto, and Martha's thread-like
soprano took it up like a carol, under a
breath. Tho men under the dull lamp
in the further end of the car held theif

the fretlul baby cased itscrjing. Two

effusion of blood which seemed to make
his death absolutely certain. No regular
surgical appliances being at hand, two erf
his friends relieved erch other for sever
