His nnmo was Willlo Leo, liut no ono thougbt of calling him "SVilllo except liia Bister. Willio was poor nnd liouicly. Ilia hair was what might bo called u bluo white, his eyes wcro palo and with- out expression, and ho was altogether a very plain person. Ho nnd his sister Mary had a llttlo houso in tho outskirts of tho city near the car barns, Ilia closo proximity to tho barns doubtless was what led him to think ho would becorao car conductor. At any rate, ho did become one, anil Mary, as sho used to bo weeding in her llttlo garden' beside tho stroet, would look up nnd sep him pass and say to hcrsolf : "Now, don't ho just look flno with thoso bluo clothes and brass buttons?'' His sister's eyes could not bco that tho navy bluo of tho clothes painfully brouglit out tho sickly pallor of his face and niado his sleepy eyes dimmer. To her ho was handsome and tho uniform mado him handsomer. Mary was partial to uniforms. Thero was a policeman in that suburb for wliom sho had tho great est regard, and in the ovening when she would go out to watch for Willie s car going by on its last trip tho policeman seu to como and hang over tho gato and sho would tell him what a good boy Wil lie was. Tho men at tho barns did not know much about Willie. Ho novcr mot at their gatherings in tho ofllco and stables nd sung and danced nnd joked as 'the others did. Half of them did not know his name, but tho timo keeper said his car was always on timo nnd tho nickels turned oror wero always right in number. Willie's passengers did not liko him either. They said ho opened and loft open tho door in winter and shut it in tho heat of Bummer. Ho mado them Bit closo on tho seals, and gravest offonso of all ho would mako tho rncngoinsidothe car when., thero was room instead of tending on tho rear platform in a crowd. All this served to mako him unpopular, still ho never violated a rule of tho com pany, and tho keenest "spotter" could never havo reported him for a single mis demeanor. Willlo did not liko girls. Ho used to say to Mary, "Girls aro a nuisance I wouldn t let ono of them get on my car I could help It." Thero was no use trying to get up a flirtation with Willie, was adamant. A neighbor, rosy cheeked Rachel Mooro, had loved Willie over since they wcro children and played in tho dust of tho road beforo tho city had moved down to them. Willio liked Rachel, too, after a fashion, very much as ho loved Mary, but ho novcr thought marrying her or any ono else. Mary used to say to him, "Willie, suppose I should die, what would you do for . housckeeperr" Mary didn't think ol dying, sho was thinking of tho police man, and Willio would answer, "Don't talk about such absurd things, Mary." That was all tho satisfaction sho over re ceived. Yet it was through a girl that Willio's lifo was changed. How these women do chance- our lives, sotno in ono way and fcotno in another! Willio was supersti tious. Ho said ho was unlucky overy timo ho ran on car No. 118. A man had shot. himself in it onco, and another had fallen off the front platform and bro ken his leg, and Willio was always hav ing trouble when ho was on it. Ono February day car 113 started from tho barn at its usual hour with Willie Leo as conductor. Everything went on well all day and Willio was flattering himself that ho was going to escape ill luck for onco, but sho lurks around us when we aro least conscious of her pres ence. It was nearly night and a rain set in, a rain that froze to everything and mado tho track very slippery. A young lady who often went down on Willio s car asked to bo left off at the avenue nnd Willio rang tho bell. She stepped oft, but as fato would havo it another car was coming from tlio opposite direction, tno trade was slippery, n now driver was managing tho brako, and instead of stopping, as is tho usual etiquctto in bucIi n case, tho car came on. Willio standing on tho step took in tho situation at a glance, and though ho wits always slow ho made this tho exception. Ho jumped from the car and almost throw the girl from tho track just in timo to savo her, but he slipped and fell and was ground under tho horses feot nnd tho cruel wheels. Then the enr stopped and tho passen gers crowded out and around him. "Is lie dead, OI Is ho dead: " cried tho girl whom ho had saved, and bIio knelt down besido him, took off his cap nnd bruslicu tno uarap hair back from his forehead. No, ho is not dead," said a policeman, Mary's policeman, who happened for onco to bo whoro ho was needed. "Ho lives just below here. Wo will carry him to tho houso." Thoy picked him up ana carried iiun gently Into tho little cottage. Mary was overcome with fright and would havo fainted had not 'Teddio been thero to assuro her that Willio was all right, "only hurt a bit." Tho next day tho young lady whom Willio had saved caino down in her car riago to sea how ho was. Sho swept in through Mary s llttlo kitchen liko queen, and Rachel, who was sitting on tho step of tho back door, looked at her in amazement; at the long sealskin cloak and tho diamonds in her ears. "My, ain t sho grandr sho said to herself. wonder If Willio know her before? wonder if ho would havo jumped right in front of two great big liorees and n car if 1 had been in her place?" Jealous little ltachell Uf couno ho would havo dono it just tho same had tho person been the lowest of tho lowly. Day after day Helen Carpenter caino to inquire after "the bravo fellow," as bIio called him, and when ho began to get better sho brought him flowers and hot houso fruit and all sorts of things that lib could not eat, and would not have dared to luxl ho wanted them. Sho brought him books, too, and read to him by tho hour stuff that ho did not hear. Uo did not caro for books, but ho liked to look at her as sho sat by his side read insr. Ho liked to hear tho tono of her voico and smell the.perfumo of tho vio lets sho alwavs woro, nnd after a while her daily visit was what ho lived for and looked forward tp. When it grew warmer ho becan to sit up by tho win- dow in nn easy chair she had sent from her own homo, and sho would como and sit on a stool at his feet and talk with him about herself and her daily lifo until sho mado him her abject slavo and he loved her with a lovo that only such people liavo who have never loved before. Sho was tho light of his lifo and ho fomot that ho .was uoor.and namely. thing that ho had never forgdtten bef riro, i that sho was as high nbovo him as tho Jieavcns aro nbovo tho earth. When ho held her llttlo jowclcd hand in his, as sho sometimes allowed him to do, ho would havo been willing to havo died for her a thousand times over. Rachel was entirely forgotten. Sho would como in sometimes to see him, but ho would always bo Blecpy or watching for Helen and would not talk to her. Ono day Mary Raw her eyes filled with tears, and sho put hor arm around hor. Don t cry, Rachel: ho will seo tho light by and by," sho said, and Rachel broko down and Bobbed, "I used to think he cared for mo, but ho don't now." Ono day Mary said to him, "Willio, I don't think you treat Rachel just right," hut ho never heard her. Willio was a long timo getting well. Another man had taken his car, but tho superintendent said ho was at liberty to go back any time when ho was ablo. Tho policeman, too, was in n hurry for Willio to get ell. Mary had promised lum that tho friendship begun last yonrover tho onion , beds should tprmlnato in n happy wed ding, nnd ho had been scanning intently tho houso hunters' directory for n sult nblo placo to put his brido just ns soon as sho would consent to becomo his. Ono day Willio made up his mind to tell Helen when sho camo again just how much ho loved her, and when sho camo In nnd sat down nt ills lect and looked at him with her great liquid dark eyes, full of tender solicitude, and asked him how ho wns, ho took her hand and ttempted to speak, but could not. 'You aro weak yet, aron t you, Mr. Lee? How nngry you ought to bo with mo for having been tho causo of nil your trouble. But you'll hurry -up and get well by Easter, won't you?" And she childishly laid her check against tho hand ,sho held. "Do you know, I am going to bo married on Easter Monday, and If want you to cpmo to my wedding." "Go to her weddingl Go to her wed ding!" Ho said it ovor to himself, then tho room grow dark and everything seemed uncertain, and ho fainted. "It is warm and ho is still bo weak, and I supposo I talked him to death," sho said to Mary, who .camo in answer to her alarmed calling. Mary was quick wlttcd nnd sho know pretty nearly what had happened, nnd sho told "Tcddie" nil about it that ovon- ing nnd said sho loved "Willio, of course; but sho thought ho had treated Rachel badly, and may no this would bo a les son to him. For several days Willio was too weak to Bit up again in tho easy chair. Ho seemed helpless and unconcerned as to whether ho got well or not. Helen had not been to Geo him since the night ho fainted. She was busy with her wed-' ding preparations and just stopped at the cate ono day to ask If he was better and wondered if Mary thought ho could como to her wedding. "No, I do not think ho can go," Mary said, and sho said it coldly, and Helen did not come again. , It was the day of Helen s wedding. Willlo heard the carriages roll past on the pavement and ho turned his faco to tho wall and tho-tearswrmo intohisoyes, that had been strangers to tears for years. Rachel had brought inn bouquet of Easter flowers und placed them on his table. Thero wcro violets among thomj everything to remind him of her. Just in the dusk of evening Raqhel herself came in. Sho paused n moment at tho door to seo 'if ho was asleep, and as his eyes wero closed sho concluded that he was. Sho sat down on tho low stool and as her faco was partially turned away from him Willio opened his eyes and looked at her slyly. Ho never thought Rachel prelty be fore. In fact, ho had never thought much about her, but now as she sat be tween him and tho fading light ho noted tho roundness of her cheek, her white throat, and tho pretty curls of brown hair around her faco and neck. I wonder if sho would do just as Helen did had bIio been in her place," he said to hiinself. "Would she havo come here and mado mo lovo her and then havo cruelly told mo sho was going to be married? Yes, I suppose sho would- wo men aro all alike, coquettes, every, one ot tnom." Rachel was thinking over her lifo, and by Boino strange, unexploinablo mes meric sympathy Willie's mind went back over the past too. What a friend she had always been to htm and Mary, nnd how bravely she had fought her own battlo of lifo thus far. "She is a noble little woman," ho said lo himself, "and I wish I was worthy of her." Then tho clock struck, and Rachel started up. She drew a half sighing breath, paused a moment, then stoojied over him and lightly touched his lips with hers. Be foro ho wns nwuro what he was doing he had passed his arm around her neck and pressed her head to his breast. "Do you then lovo ine, Iittlu ltachel? They say lovo is eloquent by whomever 6poken, and Willio was certainly elo quent. Tho love that was shut up in his heart all turned and told Itself seemingly without his aid to Rachel, and when Mary camo in she found Jhcni sitting hand in hand, a new rwect light in their laces. When tho Juno rowa blossom there will be a double wedding in the little cot- tago and "Teddie" und Willio will both bo happy, Willlo lias gono back to his car. llo says ho likes tho road and likes tho work, and blesses tho day that good fortune came to mm through misfortune, Katherint Hartman in Dansvillo Au vertiser.

I reached Bibbsviiio on a Friday oven- ing, and had hardly entered tho oueer old placo whon I learned that thero was to bo a picnio out at "tho falls ' tho next day. Everybody was ns much excited as on tho ovo of a Fourth of July, and tno - colored pooplo could hardly hold thomselvcs down. Tlio Widow Baker, at whoso houso I found lodgings, had been cooking for the last thre days, and it was with a fitting Bcnsoof dignity that sho informed mo of the fact that bIio was tho committee boss on Tittles to eat." During tho ovening a number of men dropped in, and after a bit tho commit tee on arrangements got together to per- tect somo details. "Now, then, you Jim," eaid tho chair man, as ho finished making somo notes on a picco of paper, "you aro to watch tho JUabcocks tho olo man and his two boys. They'll como fixed fur fight, and. at tho fust sign of a row you'll whistlo tlio commltteo together nnd pilo on to cm." "IC'rcct, Mr. Simmons," nnswercd Jim, who was tho village blacksmith. "And you, Tom you aro to watch tho Harpers tho thr'eo boys. -Tho olo man is sick and won't bo ycro. Thorn boys is on tho shuto, you know, and hov got to bo squelched right on tho go off." "i kin lick tho hull passlo of 'em. Mr. Simmons," confidently replied Tom, who Kept ono ol the general stores. And you, Henry you kinder keen walking around and hov yer oyo out fur overybody. If you seo ary man draw his gun, jump right on to him. Wo can't hev the glorious festivities of this festivi ous occasion knocked eandwiso by any onory conduct." When I asked under what auspices tho picnio was to bo given, ono of tho com mittee replied: , "Avail, the threo or four kinds of ro- ligun around yero hov sort o' chipped in togother, nnd I'm bound thar'll bo n right smart of sinners besides." At an early hour next forenoon I re paired to tlio grounds, two or three miles away, and found a good many people be- toro mo. Every sort of vehlclo in uso In tho south had been pressed into service, and overy sort of people nnd costume wero to bo seen. It was to bo n day off for old and young, and overybody looked as if ho meant to enjoy it. Tho place was wild and romantic, tho weather de lightful, and tho jubileo songs of tho darkles echoed up and down tho gorge Tho first cloud aroso just after the crowd had reached tho ground. Tho chairman of tho committeo on order como to me looking very anxious nnd asked: "Which 'un do you ubldo by?" "What do you meanf"" "Which" jeligun Methodist or Bap tist?" I rather lean to tho Presbyterian. Why?" "Because ono of tho Baptists yero is taking advantage of tho occasion to try and convart the olo man Parker. I say it don t belong. 'Tnin't tho time sot apart. If he goes in then some of our Methodists will feol to go in, too, and tho whole thing will flop over to n camp meeting, I want you to meot up with him and toll him he's oil tho bridgo." Fortunately for all, the old man Parker announced in n loud voico that he'd whip tho man who talked religion to him on a week day, and tho occasion didn't flop over, as predicted. I soon found tho Babcoeks,. father and two boiis. They wero plain, honest looking folks, with nothing of tho ruffian or desperado in looks or actions, nnd wo had been talk ing for n quarter of an hour beforo any thing was let slip. Then ono of the lioys announced: "Say, pop, olo Jackson is yero." "He ar eh? How's ho conducting" "Oh, sorter." "Well, if he'un wants to bo healthy ho'll walk soft. I don't want to kick up no row around yero, 'causa it's a festo- nious occashun, but he'un musn't pre sume." "And Jerry Baker is yero, too, nop," added tno boy. How sasserfrous. fur tho likes of Jorry to show up yero! How's ho on- ductin i "Fairish." "Well, don't you shute onlcss he draws fust. It s ufestemous occashun, nnd dead folks lying around takes off the edge of a pusson s appetlto." "And Tom Straker is over thar', pop," continued tho son. "Does he'un daro show up yero ns big as lire? How's ho conductor? - "Tolerable." "Then tell Jack to go slow. Jack wants a pop at him, and it's his bounden duty to hov it, but ho needn't be so awful hurryiah about it. If thar's any row yoro mo oie woman win bo sartin to cotcli a bullet, and then wo'll hev her to wait on all the fall. Am I right, stranger?" "You are!" " 'Tain't tho occashun fur BhootinV "No." "That's what I say. Let's enjoy our selves as much as possible doorin' the day, and then do our shoe-tin' nn' kilhn on tho way home." By and by I found tho threo Harper boys smoking their pipes under a tree, and ono of them put a rovolver out of sight as I camo up. "Yes, it's a flno day," said Henry, tho oldest, "and I hope ther' won't bo no misbehaving." "Why should there be?" "Well, that nr' Ben Johnson has showed up an ar' steppin' too high fur a teller of his brecdin', I've bin wantin' pop.at him fur somo time, an1 if ho comes rubbin' around I can't say as I'm goin to hold back." "An thar a III IJowman out thar a- blowin's as to how fur ho kin jump," ad ded the second brother. "I owo him ono fur shootln' at mo from behind a bush las' 6ummcr, an' if he glta too peart they'll hov to carry him homo in a cart." "Oh, shetl" growled tho younger brother in disgust. " You'uns is alius fur iillin. What's tho use? Hain't other folks cot rights? Do wo own this yero airth? If anybody orter feel sorter it's we. nain't that young Davis chlnnin' my gal out thar? Hadn't I orter go right out an' begin to pop at him? But I don't doit 'Causo why? 'Causo wo hov got to havo manners. If I kin meet up with ho un to-morrer lie 8 got to beg my par don or go under, but I hain't gwlno to befool myself aforo all these. "Henry," tho ono wliahad been dele gated to watch everybody and bo ready to jump, found a young man loading n rovolver just beforo noon, nnd ho walked up to him nnd said: Ben Calvert, you hand that yero over lo mo chuck n quick!" " 'Causo why?" " 'Causo it might go off by accident, and if it did it would bo my bounded duty to riddlo you." "I'll abide," said Bon, as ho passed it over, "but-I want it when camp breaks up. That youngest Taylor boy is 'iing a heap o' brnggin', an' mebbo I'll hov to drop ho'un down a peg after tho nicetiu' is out." Tho day passed off without tlio slight est trouble, und thoso who anticipated any nt the breaking up wcro disappointed.

Adaptation to fVitnts. , Much has been said about tho adapta tions in naturo to tho wants-of mankind. Another point of view shows tho samo facts ns ovldeuco that man has adapted himself to varying conditions of life. An oxcoption to what is looked upon as n general law is found In tho distribu tion of fish. It is observed that in tho warm waters of tho Nile, for instance, fish of many kinds abound, but they are all of poor quality. Tlio samo could bo said of tho fish in all warm waters. Vory few varieties aro fit for tho table. Now it happens to bo tho caso that in hot climates tho lighter nrticles of food aro most in request. Tho system docs not need in tho tropics the meats which aro so largely consumed in tho colder region. Tho sending of fish from Nor way to tho countries about tho Mediter ranean is ono of tho oldest branches of trade in tho history of bommercb. Where tlio fish was of good quality tho population was scanty, and, on tho other hand, whero tho population was numerous tho lisli was poor. Is it not a reasonablo Inference that both man and fish havo sought tho portions of tho globe whero tho conditions of lifo wero most favorable to them respectively? Youth's Companion. A Joko on tho minister. Ministers, as a rule, aro as fond ot a good joko as other people, no matter whether they aro tho joker or tlio victim. Ono evening when Mrs. "Van Cott was holding revival meetings in St. Paul, a party of ministers, including Rov. Dr. Dewart, of tho Bates avenuo church, wero present, nnd, in rcsponso to n ro- quest by Mrs. Van Cott, gavo "experience tallis." lho Hates avenuo minister was tho only ono who failed to respond, and was mado tho subject of remarks from the pulpit, tho lady not knowing that Dr. Dewart was also a minister. Finally sho camo down from tho pulpit and, standing directly over him, said: "Young man, unless you repent of your Bins and walk In tho narrow path, your soul will bo forever lost." Seeing that sho was laboring under a misapprehension, the roverend gentleman good naturcdly lis tened to tho exhortations, whilo his min isterial brethren wero almost forced to laugh outright. Noticing tlio broad smiles, Mrs. Van Cott suspected tho truth and returned to tho pulpit. After tlio services a good laugh was indulged In. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Troublo with tlio Griimmurluus. A writer in Tho Christian World sends up this littlo rocket to shed light upon tho confusion existing in tho minds of many very well educated people in re gard to tlio uso of tho two Words "sit" and "set" a confusion similar to that which seems to attend upon tho choice of saying "will" or "shall:" 'A man, or woman cither, can sot a hen, although they cannot sit her: neither can thoy sot on her, although tho old hen might sit on them by tho hour if they would allow. A man cannot set on the wash bench, but ho could. 6et tho basin on it, and neither tho basin nor tho grammarians would object. Ho could sit on tho dog's tail if tlio dog wero will ing, or ho might set his foot on it. But if ho should Bet on tho aforesaid tail, or sit his foot thero, tho grammarians ns well as tho dog would howl. And yet, strange ns it may seem, tho man might set tho tail asido nnd then sit down, nnd neither bo assailed by tho dog nor tho grammarians." Tho Cmbrelbu Sattara assumed tho titlo of Ch'hatra- pntl, or lord of tho umbrella, and it is by no means Impossiblo that tho word satrapes, used by Herodotus for Persian governors of Asiatic provinces, origin atod in this way. Examples of timbrel las havo been found on tho monuments of Egypt as well as on thoso of Persopo 11s; their construction differs littlo from thoso now in use, and they aro almost invariably associated with persons of ox- altcd rank, it is not too much to say that throughout tlio east tho umbrella was overywhero regarded as tho emblem of dominion nnd sovereignty. This was doubtless duo to its closo association with various solemn religious festivals and observances, notably thoso connected with tho worship of Bacchus; and this connection points to a direct relationship with tho mysteries of sun nnd nature worship.

IT ISN'T POCIUTY, NEITUEtt. Herbert Spencer says: "Wildness is not vlciousness." No; so it isn't. But when it comes to riding a vicious bronco that has been in the cattlo business eleven years, and saddling a zebra who never before looked into tho faco of man, a fellow might just as well shut his eyes and sky a copper for his choice. A vicious dog isn't much worse than a wild grizzly.
