The first clasa crnoking carrlngo ns tho empUect la tho whole train, and even this was hot to suffocation, because my only companion denlod me more than Inch of open trindow. His chost, ho explained curtly, was "ensccptiblo." As we crawled westwanl through tho glaring country, the sun's rays boat on the carriage roof till 1 eoemed to be crashed under an anvil, counting tho strokes. I had dropped my book and was staring listlessly out ot tho window, At tho other end of the compartment my fellow passenger bad pulled down all the blinds and hidden his faco be hind The 'Western Morning Nows. He was a red faced, cholerio little man of about sixty, with a salient stomach, a Droditrlons nose, to which he carried snuff about once in two minutes, and a marked deformity of the shoulders. For comfort, and also perhaps to hide this hump, he rested his back It) the angle by the window. He woro a black al paca coat, a mgn stout, wmte waistcoat and trousers of shepherd's plaid. On no definite grounds, I guessed him to be a lawyer and unmarried. just before entering tne station at Lostwithiel, our train passed between thewhito gates of a level crossing. A moment before I had caught sight of the "George" drooping from the church spire, nnd at the crossing 1 saw it was regatta day in the little town. The road was full of people and lined with sweet standings, nnd by tho near end of the bridge a Punch and Judy show was just closing a performance. The orchestra had unloosed bis drum and (alien to. mopping the back of his neck with the red handkerchief that had previously bound the pan pipes to his chin. A crowd hung around, and among it 1 noted several men and women in black, hideous blots In the pervading sunshine. The station platform was thronged as we drew up, and it was clear at once that all the carriages In the train would be besieged without regard to class. By some chance, however, wo were disre garded and escape seemed likely till the very last moment. The guard's whistle was between his lips, when I heard a shout, then one or two feminine screams and a party of soven or eight came tear ing out of the booking office. Every one of them was dressed in complete macic. They were, tn fact, the people 1 had seen i ! i it. - n -1. .1 t.. 1 i.n. BUU1U), Ub 111U 1 uuuu uuu uu; Buun. A moment later tho door of our com partment opened and we were Invaded. They tumbled in over my legs, panting, laughing, exclaiming, calling to eacn other to hurry an old man, two youths, four middle aged women and a little girl about four years old. My choleric fellow passenger leaped up, choking with wrath, and shouted to tne guard. But the door was slammed on Ills indig nation, and we moved off. He sat back. purple above his stock, rescued his malacca walking stick from under the coat tails of a subsiding youth, stuck it upright between his knees and glared around at tho Intruders. They were still possessed with excitement over their narrow cscapo and unconscious of of fense. One of the women droppod into the corner seat and took the little girl on her lap. The child's dusty boots rubbed against the old gentleman s trou sers, lie shifted his position, grunted. and took snuff furiously. That was nibby Jibby," the old man of the party observed, while bis eye wan- dered around for a seat. I thought I should ha' died." said robust woman, with a wart on hercheek and a yard of crape hanging from her bonnet "(Jan t ea find nownere to sit, under "Beckon I must shift "pon your lap, Susannah. This was said with chuckle, aud the woman tittered. "What new fangted game bo this o' the Great Western's. Arms to the seats, declare We'll have to sit intimate, my dears.' " Tis first class," another woman an- nounced In an awed whisper. "I saw It pon the door. You don't think they'll fine us," " T all comes of our etoppin to glare at that Punch an Judy," the old fellow went on, after 1 bad shown them how to turn back the arm rests and they were settled in something like comfort, "But I never could refrain from that antic tho' 1 feels condemned, too. In a way au poor Thomas laid In earth no later than II this mornin. uut in tne midst of life we ore in death.' "1 don't remember a more successful buryin," said the woman with the wart. "That was part luck, you see It bein regatta day an' the fun o the fair not properly begun. I saw a lot at the cemetery I didn't know by face, an reckon they was mostly excursionists that caught sight of a funeral an fol lowed it, to till up the time. "Well, It nil added." "Oh, aye. Thomas was beautifully Interred." Tho heat in the carriage by this time was hardly more overpowering than the smell of crui, broadcloth and compnor. The youth who bad wedged umsi next to me carried a large packet "fairing," which he had bought at one of the sweet stalls. lie began to insert It Into his aide pocket, and tn bis strug gles drovu an elbow sharply Into ray ribs. 1 sun 'ed my position a lime. "Tom's wife would ha' felt it a source o' pride, hud the lived." But 1 1" -ed to listen) for In moving 1 had hapi ..od to glance at the farther end of Ihu urrlage, and there my at- tenti.oi" wrested byaenrions little Highest of all in Leavening m. piece of pantomime. The' HlUegirl dork eyed, Intelligent child, whose pal lor was emphasized by tho crape which smoUiered her was looking very close ly at tho old gentleman with tho hump staring at him hard in fact He, on the other hand, was leaning forward with both hands on tho knob of his malacca, his eyes bent on the floor and his mouth squared to the surliest expression, tie seemed quite nncnn(oii-i of her scru tiny, and was tapping one foot impa tiently on the floor After a rninnte 1 was surprised to see her lean forward and touch him gently on the kuee. He took no notice lieyond shuffilng about n little nnd tittering a slight growl. The woman who held her put out an arm nnd drow back tho child's hand reprovingly, Tho child paid no heed to this, but continued to staro. Then In another two minutes the again bent forward and tapped the old gentle man's knee. Tills time sho fetched a louder' growl from him and an irascible glare. Not in tho least daunted, she took hold of his malacca and shook it to and fro in her small hand. "I wish to heavens, madam, vou'd keep yonr child to yourself I" "For shame, Annlel" whispered the poor woman, cowed by his look. But again Annie, raid no heed. Indeed sho pushed tho malacca toward the old gentleman, saying: "Pleae, sir, will 'co warm Mister Bar rabel wi' thlsf He moved uneasily and looked harshly ; her without answoring. "For shame. Annlol" the woman murmured a second time; but 1 saw her lean back and a tear started and rolled down her cheek. If you please, sir," repeated Annie, trill 'eo warm Mister Barrabel wi' this?" The old gentleman stared at her. In bis (yes you could read tho question, "What in tho devil's namo does tho child mean?" The robust woman read It there and answered him huskily. "Poor mite, she's buried her father this mornin; an Mister Barrabel Is the coffin maker, nn nailed 'im down." 'Now." said Annie, this tltno caeerlv. will.'co warm htm eamo as the big doll did just nowT Luckily tho old gentleman did not un derstand this last allusion, no bad not seen tho group around the Punch and Judy show, nor If be had is it likely he would have guessed tho train of thought in tho child's mind. Uut to me, as 1 looked at my fellow passenger's noso and the deformity of Ills shoulders and remembered how Punch treats the un dertaker, it was plain enough. 1 glanced at tho child's companions. There- was nothing in their faces to show that they took tho allusion. And tho next minute was glad to think that 1 alone know what had prompted Annie's speech. For as I looked, with a beautiful change on his face, tho old gentleman had taken the child on his lmce and was talking to her n I dnro sny ho had never talked beforo. 'Aro you her motherr he asked, look ing up suddenly and addressing tho woman opposite Her mother s been dead these two year, l m her aunt, an 1m taldn ner home to rear 'long wl my own cnilder." Ho was bending over Annie, and had resumed his chat It was all nonsense something about the silver knob of his malacca but it tcok hold of the child's fancy nnd comforted her. At the next station 1 had to alight, for it was the end of my journey. But looking back Into tne carnage- as l sunt tne door, l saw Annie bending forward over the walking stick and following the pattern of its Bilvcr work with her small finger. Her faco was turned from tho old gen tleman's, and behind her little black hat Ms eyes were glistening. Arthur T. Quiller-Couch in Speaker. Xll.courasement for Jail Illrd.. 'Jail breaks" wero boing discussed by a number of gentlemen. "For the bet ter security of prisoners charged with the more serious offenses tney navo adopted a very ingenious plan in that city of 'jail breaks,' Denver," said Mr. J. W. Freeman. "The principle upon which it is worked is this: A man is put into one of a number of iron cells, the cells being ranged in a circle. Then the whole thing is Bet in motion, bat tho construction renders the movement so gentle that it is not folt by any of the convicts. 1 no result is that it on at tempt bo made to cut a hole at any point, with tho idea of resuming the work at a futnro time, tho attempt is frustrated, because by the regular move ment the cell will be completely reversed at the time tho prisoner returns to it from that which it occupied when he temporarily left it. The motion Is kept up from morning till night, so that es cape by ordinary methods is an impossl bllity. St. Louis Globe-Democrat llcuclit Old rlpes.

Nelson agreed, if the fail creature should provo acceptable and could bo won. to marry her. He imme diately wrote to Mrs, Stevens, setting forth that he was tho owner of a largo and paying ranch, was well off in the world and wanted some one to share his lot and help eat his potatoes. The lady was not averse to embarking in the matrimonial sea for a second tlmo, and agreed that if everything was as repre sented and tne man was of a good moral character she would accept, Sho was fully satisfied on these points and they immediately considered them, selves engaged. Business interests pre vented Nelson leaving home long enough to come to Lincoln and he did not wish to bo so ungallant as to compel his be trothed to go to him, so they compro mised and agreed to meet at Grand Is land. Mrs. Stevens left for Grand Island, where tho couple mot for the first time. Both considered that they had secured a bargain nnd were mado one at once.

Old, Tuesday evening tho bells of all the parish churches of Brussels rang merry peals to celebrate tho anniversary of the return homo from tho Holy Land of the survivors of the Brusselers who took part in tho first crusade. They had left in 1093 with Godfrey, of Bouillon, whom they left there, and for six years no news had been received of them. They wero given up for lost, and more than one of tho forsaken wives was thinking of giving a successor to the absent one, when on Jan. 10, 1101, at dnsk, the ar rival was announced of a troop of men- of-arms at tho Trourcnberg gato. Great was the joy in many houses, and the long waited for husbands were wel comed with the best of suppers, to which they did such ample honor that when bed time came they were unable to move from their chairs, and their valiant wives had to carry them to bed. Until 1731 the council of Brabant held no meeting on that day. Belgian News. Brought the Officiate to Tends. A determined German brought the of ficials of n New Jersey railroad company to terms. So crowded was a local train on the Morris and Essex railroad that many of the passengers could not find scats. As tho train started, an indig nant Teuton stopped the train by pulling the bell cord and demanded that an empty car on the track be attached. Tho other passengers sustained him, but the demauds were not heeded. When the train stin ted again the German onco more pulled the bell cord and announced that ho would pull It every time the train started unless another car was at tached. After considerable dispute the railroad officials gave in, backed down the train, attached another car, and thus furnished scats for all its passen gers. Yankeo Blade.

In an angle of a basement wall I know a contented and plethoric hermit spider. in tno opposite corner dwelt another. One was black and the other was the color of ashes.

It was argued that the waters on the Pacific side of the Isthmus were hundreds of feet higher than they were on the Atlantio side, and that the great rush of waters to even up the difference in tho level of the two oceans would drown out all southern NortlueVmericii, all tho West Indies and most of Mexico and Yucatan. Would be engineers and sensational editors passed their opinions or wrote yards of scare editorials on the subject. It now turns out that the Atlantio and not the Pacific is the higher of tho two oceans, and that in place of the difference in level being hundreds ot feet, as bad been affirmed, the surface of the water on tho east side of tho isthmus is exactly U'i feet higher than it is on the western side.
