JOHNSON'S LITTLE ROMANCE.
From Household Words.
Dear old Johnson! Whenever I
think of him I realize that he was one
of the true, good-hearted fellows we
only meet with here and there In tho
world; and not too often.
His name, by the way, was not
Johnson, but It will answer all the pur
poses of my story to call him so.
It was a name handed down through
many a generation of noble ancestors
that he carried across the channel
when he was nearlng fifty years of
age, together with the very small
remnant of fortune which remained af
ter one of his friends had swindled
him.
Johnson was exactly the person to
be swindled. His trustful, generous
herat mado him an easy prey.
"I don't like leaving my native
land," he said to me a day or two be
fore his departure. "But the fact Is,
I can no longer afford to live In Eng
land; so I must avail myself of the in
expensive, continental style of exist
ence. I am bound for Paris, which,
after all, will not bo going very far
away."
Johnson had been living abroad for
more .than a year, when I decided that
It was about time I should be looking
him up.
He was not good at correspondence,
neither was I.
We exchanged occrIonal letters
which seemed to bo full of nothing; so
I wanted to see with my own eyes
how he was bearing his changed for
tunes. It wns In ,tho small "entresol" of one
of the tall houses of the old Latin
quarter of the capital that I found my
friend established.
He declared that he was very Jolly,
but I did not believe him. It was only
a sort of dogged determination to look
on the sunny side of things in general
that made him say so.
How could a man no longer In his
first youth, bo "Jolly" In a stuffy little
lodging where his head almost touched
the celling, and where his frugal meals
were sent in by a "traitcur?"
Johnson was Just the fellow who
ought to be the head of an affluent
British household, with sons and
daughters growing up about him.
Or he should have been a wealthy
bachelor uncle, absolutely adored by
a large contingent of nephews and
nieces solitude did not seem the prop
er setting for him.
However, ho took for his motto,
"whatever is, is best;" trotted me
about Paris, with an air of part-ownership
which was Infinitely comic, In
fact, did his level best to make my
fortnight's stay a pleasant one.
He would have insisted on giving me
up his bed, and migrating to unlet at
tic on tho fifth floor, but I would not
hear of It.
I was obliged to pretend that I
should certainly suffocate In the small
closet ho dignified by the title of
"shambre a coucher," and that I had
engaged quarters at one of tho nearest
hotels on my way from the railway
station, and before I found him out.
Though we had known each other
during a good many years, It was only
when my stay in Paris drew very near
its close that Johnson one evening
became confidential.
I am not very likely to forget that
evening either, for I had come out
rather sick aud decidedly shuddering
from visiting "The Morgue."
Declaring It to be one of the sights
of the city, which a strong-nerved man
ought to see once In his life, I had pre
vailed on Johnson to accompany me.
A group of excited women and a man
of two were standing by tho entrance;
they told us that the body of a girl a
young and pretty girl had been car
ried In not long before. She had been
found floating in the Seine; a case of
suicide, no doubt.
"I I think I'll take your arm my
dear fellow!" stammered Johnson ns
we came out from this ghastly spec
tacle. Then I felt sorry I had urged him
against his will, for his face was as
white as chalk, and his manner was
that of a man walking In a dream.
"It reminded me," he said, after wo
had walked some llttlo way, and he
seemed better, "of a gill who was
drowned a good many years ago. Per
haps I'll tell you about It by and by."
1 did not question htm. The llttlo ro
mance of his life came quite naturally
as we sat together In tho stuffy "entre
sol," waiting for dinner.
"I am such a thorough fogy now," re
marked Johnson from tho depths of the
big Voltaire chair Into which I had
forced him, "that I dare say, Frank,
you could hardly Imagine mo young,
and fairly good looking?"
"You forget," I answered, "but we
were both tolerably young when we
first made acquaintance. And, In my
opinion, you are good looking now."
"Oh, yes, i vou, perhaps. But could
you Imagine me a man with whom a
deavor society will meet at tho resi
dence of Itov. B. F. Hammond tomor

girl In love? Yet so It was, nnd I
think I shall feel better If I tell you
about It this evening."
"Tell me, by all means," I said. "I
never knew before that you were a man
with a story."
He smiled rather sadly.
"Who has not a story? Only we do
not happen to know It. I don't suppose
that we who have failed in life as
regards happlnes are In the minority.
Well, I. too, had my dreams of a wife
and a home. At first they were vague
and shadow-like; they only began to
take form when I knew Alice Temple.
I have called her pretty, but I think
it was the intelligence expressed in her
eyes that one noticed most or, per
haps, the swift smile that camo to her
lips when she spoke."
I waited silently. Presently Johnson
went on with his story:
"We are engaged. There was nothing
to wait for I could afford to marry,
and Alice had a little money not much,
and I was glad of It. I should not have
wished to be ono of those at whom the
world points as a man who, by marry
ing, has done well for himself."
"My dear friend," I exclaimed, "no
one ccr Imagined you hunting nfter
money. I nm afraid you have under
valued It all your life, and will keep up
the habit to tho end."
Johnson smiled.
"Perhaps there Is something In wh'at
you say; perhaps I have been an In
cautious, over-sanguine fellow. But
then I have always realized that If
money opens all doors In this world.
It certainly won't open up the door to
heaven. However, I am drifting away
from what I meant to tell you what
that dead face of a girl seems to force
me to speak tonight. Alice and I were,
as I have said, engaged, tho wedding
day fixed. We were visiting at the
country house of one of her relations
that glorious month of August. One day
I went up to London, returning late In
the evening. In all tho years that have
passed I have never forgotton that
evening, I can see now, In memory, the
moonlight falling on tho trees; Its glare
for at the full moon It Is a cold,
hard glare which falls on everything, or
so It seems to me Its glare on tho
gravel of tho avenue leading to tho
house. Even as tho old butler opened
the door I saw there was something
the matter a llttlo crowd of panic
stricken faces, and then some one
caught my arm and tried to pull me
away tried, but failed, for I fought
and struggled to shake off the grasp.
I knew at once something had happened
to Alice Temple."
Ho paused so long that at last I
asked what came next. He started at
the sound of my voice.
"I forgot I was telling you about it,"
ne said, "it seemed as though I wero
going over it all by himself. I often do,
though it happened so long ago. What
was It? Oh, 'one of those boating acci
dents,' as people say when they lay
down a dally paper, complaining of tho
scarcity of news. Alice had been boat
ing; there was an upset. No ono of all
tho paity except . Well, .they had
just brought her In, nnd as I fought
myself free of my well-meaning friend,
It was on the white, still face, and the
long, drenched hair of my dead love
that my eyes rested. I have never for
gotten that sight never forgotten her
In all the years since then. Strango I
have never talked of It! But then we
never do talk of what we feel most
deeply. Yet the poor girl I dare say
sho was not a very good girl but hea
ven Is more merciful than man, and
takes account of nil the despair and
misery which go before self-destruction
reminded me of Alice, who was to
have been my wife, of the happiness I
wanted, yet was refused, and It has
unmanned me for a bit. By and by I
shall feel better. Perhaps who knows?
tnat in some future existence our
disappointments will all be mado up to
us; at any rate, that Is one of my pet
beliefs."
"You think that in some future you
nnd Alice Temple will be together?" I
asked, rather skeptically.
"I don't put things into form and
shape, I simply bellevo that I and
all who have failed In this world
shall have happiness. Now, let ua talk
no more of It, for here comes dinner."
As dear old Johnson bowed his head
to say grace for he reverently oh
served tho practices taught him In his
childhood his voice trembled, and
when ho looked up again, and raided
the cover of tho llttlo soup tureen for
tho preliminary duties of hospitality,
I saw, and pretended not to see, that
there were tears shining in his eyes.

On n -Twenty-Four Inch' Track tho
Inventor Hopes to Develop High
Rpood.
From tho Now York Herald.
A Washington man has Invented ft
fnst-llylng train and track, both of
unique construction." Tho track Is
only twenty-four Inches wldo between
tho rails. Tho new road will require a
rnll having tho ordinary width ncross
tho top, but it will bo nine and one
half inches deep, or high. They are
laid two feet upart and tied, or bolted,
together by heavy steel braces, and It
is expected that the unusual depth of
rail will glvo a solidity in construction
never before attained. On the outsldo
of each main rail, and six inches from
It, rlso heavy uprights, two feet In
height, supporting on their upper ends
angle Iron girders, forming a flat, con
tinuous auxiliary railing, upon which
cushion any toppling tendencies of tho
cars.
Jlotlvo power for tho road, is to be
electricity. Tho cars and train of tho
Inventor's creation are unique, like his
roadway. Tho body of each car is to
be nearly cylindrical, having only tho
flattened area made by the floor. Tho
Inside height, or head room, will bo
about nine feet, in place of tho usual
twelve feet, thus reducing to tho low
est limits the rcslstnnce of air pres
sure against the outer surface. Tho
width will bo tho same as adopted by
tho wider guage roads. The forward
ends of the cars will bo approximately
cone-shaped, giving to the train the
appearance of a series of huge naval
torpedoes coupled in a row. Tho sharp
nose of tho forward car Is provided
with curved offsets or pilot boxes, from
which tho coming engineer will nerv
ously scan the dizzy, whirling scenery
ahead.
Tho meat of the Invention is to be
found In the trucks. Wheels five feet
high, carrying on each axle a. specialty
designed 100 horse-power electric mo
tor, are considered tho proper thing to
develop the fast gait. The wheels are
so high that they pass up through tho
floor over a foot, and the scats are ar
ranged Inside the car so as to be locat
ed between them. Each double truck
of four wheels carries two motors.thus
providing every car with 400 horse
