Our train had been anow-bound for
nearly two day. At first most of us
. irare Tery naturally restle?s amd lm
".. ftatleat; but, the "hours drifted by,
' M crew phUoaophicatly resigned. Two
f the trainmen, together with several
' (MMngrs, bad volunteered to fight
tbalr way to the nearest station and
. brine relief; ao there wa nothing to do
tat occupy our mind with, oarda, con-
versaitlon and amoka, and try to forget
.' Wiat our tomchs bad been put on
abort allowance.
With this aim several men gathered
aU one end of the smoker and took to
pinning yarn, first humorous, then of
- adventure, andi tfinwlly drifting Into
. wbat are known as "detective stories."
, There Were flva of us besides myself;
.two drummers, one from New York
and on from Chicago; a Frenchman,
- Who had been "doing" the country; a
' fussy oM rentleman on hla way east to
: attend alt daughter's wedding which
lift was pretty reasonably sure to miss,
' and a gaunt, powerfully built man,
with a sombre, nervous face and gray
hair, who suggested a cross between a
New Tork stock broker and a Ken
tucky colonel.

clone of gesticulation, a "true" atory

when our sombre, nondescript cleared
' Bit throat. He dad shown no lnteret
(whatever to the humorous tales of the
drummers, and had paid little more at

travel and adventure. The detective

somewhat, .- though hitherto he had
evinced no disposition to bear his share
of the tellings Therefore, when he did
apeak, we all turned to him with the
greater alacrity. '

one of the captains once, deserted at

a year lived among the peasants in
the interior. So, you see, he was an
adventurous young fellow, even .In
those days; but the experience was
just what was needed to make him
what he afterwards became. Take the
subtle Intelligence of an Italian, and
add to It an American mother and an
American education, topped off with
several years of life right down among
the lower classes, and you've got the
bet foundation for a good detective
that 1 can Imagine."

"I wa going to tell you of perhaps
the most remarkable case that John

from us In a chorus. In which the of

sombre m&r leaned back (n his aeat,
half closed his eyes and began:
A number of years ago I as residing
with an elder brother at a certain vil
lage situated on the Hudson river not
far from the northern end of the Pali
sades. Our family was composed of my
brother Robert, hi daughter Mary,
myself and a negro servant of the name
of Pompey Augustus Anderson. My
brother's wife had died shortly after
the birth of my niece, who was, at the
time I apeak of, a remarkably hand
some though delicate girl. She was
clever, too, and, at times, erratically
brilliant; but she was a creature of

strange moods, and there were days
when she would hardly speak to any
one of the household, and would either
hut herself up In her room or wander
off through the fields and woods, even
managing to return late for meals so
as to avoid sitting at table with us.
My brother worried a good deal over
these eccentricities; but I used to con
sole him with the idea that young girls
of from 15 to 18 were apt to be dreamy
and morbid at times.
Well, we lived in that way for up
ward of four years; and the only ex
citement that broke In on the monotony
of our lives was my niece's first love
affair. The young man, a New Yorker,
had been rusticated that fall by one
of the New England colleges which he

was attending,' and his family had sent
him up to our village with a private
tutor to spend a few weeks In study
and contemplation. 1 never considered
him a positively bad fellow, but he was
certainly, a very lively one, and some
of his escapades, of which we learned
later, had been startling and original,
ever for a collegian.
It as the most natural thing In the
world that he and Mary should Imagine
themselves In love with each other.
There was practically no masculine so
deity for her In the village, and she was
the only young'woman .there of refine
ment, beauty and education. There
fore, Jack Ralph, aa we will call him
though that waa not him real name
spent a great deal of time at our house.
. My brother, aa people are apt. to do,
paid no attention to the affair, pooh
poohed all my warnings, and burled
himself In his books. . Then, too, he was
very much exercised at the time over
his qaarrels with a new railroad which
waa runnlag Ita llaa through our place,
and had made a mos't unsightly cut
about, two hundred yards from the
house. He had fought the matter In
the courts and had been beaten. The
dispute now was aa to the company's
bridging"' this ut, which they had
agreed to do, but which they delayed so
persistently that there seemed to be
considerable malice In It. - In fact, I
may say all the, work had been prose
cuted In a most dilatory way, and for
several months we had been subjected
tothe annoyance of having gangs of
Itllans tramping around our lawns and
making us feel that -It was unsafe for
Mary to go out Unattended.
Amid such far from soothing content
platlona, my brother waa dumbfounded
by a point-blank request from young
Ralph that he might become engaged to
Mary. Then there waa a scene. Rob
ert was, am bound to say, a selfish
father, and 1 doubt whether any suitor
would have been received with much
favor; but he was also Inclined ito be
puritanical In his notions, and, from
what he had heard of Ralph's exploits,
that young man would have been the
last to overcome his selfishness. There
were too many and too plausible
grounds for rational objection. If I tell
you also that my brother had a violent
temper, you can perhaps imagine what
occurred. There was much strong lan
guage on one aide and Anally some
flippant Impudence on the other. Noth
ing but my appearance prevented a
personal encounter. I finally got Ralph
safely out of the house; but the situa
tion' was awkward enough. He was ob
liged to remain In the village until re
called by his family or college, and
our prospects for peace and comfort
during the balance of his atay seemed
poor enough.
Mary was, naturally, highly Indignant

are Doctor Pierce's
Pleasaat Pellets.
Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Chief Consulting
Physician to the In
valid' Hotel and
Surgical luntlttitc,
of Buffalo, N. Y.,
was the first to in
troduce a Little Pill
to the American
feople. For all
axative and ca
thartic purposes
these aurar-coated
"Pellets" are superior in a great many
ways to all mineral waters, sedlits powders,
salts, castor oil, fruit syrups, laxative teas,
and other purgative compounds. Made of
concentrated vegetable ingredients, tbev
act in a mild, natural way. Their second
ary effect I to keep the liver active and the
bowels regular, not to further constipate,
as is the case with other pills. Tliey don't
interfere in the least with the diet, habits
or occupation, and produce no paiu, grip,
iug or shock to the system.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure bil
iousness, sick and bilious headache, dii
tiness, costiveness, or constipation, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue,
indigestion, or dyipepsia, windy belch
iugs, "heart-burn," pain and distress after
eating, and kindred derangements of the
liver, stomach and bowels. These "Pel
lets" are easily dissolved in the stomach
and absorbed into the blood, stimulating a
flow of bile from tbe liver, and arousing to
activity oil tbe glandular secretions. Thus
they set in nalurt'M own way. In proof
of their superior excellence, it can be truth
fully said, that they are always adopted
as a household remedy after the first trial.
Put Up in glass vials, therefor always fresh
and reliable. -
, One little " Pellet " Is a laxative, two are
mildly cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to
promote digestion, take one each day after
dinner. To relieve distress from over
eating, they are uneqnaled. .
