A child ran langlitni; on the hcacfa ;
The sun shone warm and bright
Upon her waring gulden hair,
Her tiny lorm so slight.
" I Wonder why the world's 10 fair
So foil of ran and song.
I wonder why Wo oJt don't Unh
And play the whole day Ion?.'
A maid was walking on the rtrand ;
She R-asd fair out to tea
Where o'er the sanllt waters rode,
A bark so gallantly.
"Ah, love Is coming o'er the waves,
Is oomlng soon to me.
1 wonder how, In this sweet world.
Old folks such shadows soe."
A woman stood upon the shore.
Her eyes with wotplng red,
Tywked sadly on the cruel sea.
That ne'er gives up its dead.
"I wonder why the world was made
So dark and lull ol care ;
No wonder that lire's burden seems
Too great for one to boar."
Near by the window's ledge there sat
A grand-dame old and gray
The window looking out to sea
Where ships at anchor lay.
" I wonder wbon mine eyes shall gee
Lite's ship at anchor lie.
Within (Jod's harlior, peacefully,
Kor all eternity."

Yer-
Bhe was a Licb toned, flattered
beauty, who Lad fled from fashiona
ble follies for a short time to the
quiet of an obscure Hampshire v il
lage.
There a kind uncle and aunt re
ceived her with open arms.
They loved this niece : fine was
bo warm hoarted and impulsive, so
unspoiled by flattery.
'.Vbo was Chester Vaaghan
The chief engineer on a railroad
that took in its courso through tho lit
tie village of Ashmont.
lie was one or tne noblest men
that ever received on his forehead
the stamp of royalty.
With a tall form, straight, mas
f-ive, yet graceful, a dark handsome
face, wuh wonderful magnetic eyes
that iad twice looked full into Miss
Verney's.
Viewed in the light of public opin
ion he wa3 shades and degrees lower
than she.
To the vision, fine enough to dis
cern souls, independent of the acoi
dents of birth or circumstances, he
was her equal.
Miss Vcrney was generous, truth
ful, high minded. So wa Chester
Vaugban.
She had a warm, affectionate na
ture ; he possessed the same in a
great degree.
She lored all that was Qjc aatl en
joyable in literature.and could melt in
to tears over a grand poem from pure
sympathy and approciaiion. He had
the elements of genius in his own
nature could create what she only
could appreciate.
Judge, then, if he was not her
equal.
She was at the Btation to meet
some friends, and remarked the fine
figure of the man as he stoyd on tho
platform.
She had thought, "What a grand
looking man he would be in society!"
and be had turned and looked her in
the face.
She had felt a great thrill at her
heart, such as no other pair of eyes
bad bad magnetism enough to send
there.
She chided herself for her weak
ness. Was he not beneath ber
Away from her (rjeods, wqs she
becorp.jng plebiaa in her tastes ?
What right had he to look at tier
at all ?
Cut still those eys, in their won
derful depth and beauty, haunted
ber.
He had known by the Gae senfe
that discerns souls, that this worn in
was his mate, though Lo had seen ber
but twice.
Miss Verney had known ;t inown
that lad he ben in her circle, Le
would single her out from all others,
and that she would hare
"Sprung to L,lnt, and known he was uej t.-ii
!(ut a em j'lcr sol.''
MUe Yerney loved nature.
She was in the habit of rambling
alone through the woods iu search of
botanical specimen andoiher curios
ities. Uno day she had wmdored farther
than usual,
A strange confusion Eclzcd ber,
and she found that she was lost.
She wandered around with grow
ing alarm, ana, at last, suspecting
that she was moving in a circle, se ,
sat down to cc; eoi ner thoughts and
rest Ler waary Imbs.
How helplef 3 she felt ;
AH her wealth was nnivai'iaVic in
an hour Kie t'uis. 'be sun was de
clining and the eveuiug twilight ad
vancing, bne felt the drowacfa ot
eharjstion stfaiiDg' over her. She
had enough presence ol mind to try
to shake it off and teen moving. The
nif lit rloEet jp. stprligfct nd. tntf
ful. Kept up by the force of her will,
she staggered on, until she at last
struck an open space.
Iy the Ii. jt os tne tun moou, now
risen, i he saw a rcaa ueiorc eer, ana
gained it.
It wast be raurcau
But which way to ro! ha wjs
otall bewildered;.
"1 gnau not, ue auio to Keep up

along the lengthy stretch of iron rails,
and there are no houses in sight. 1

Sho wag n, a po.lion of the line

She realized the awful dcatn be
fore Ler aa sha saw the gleaming
headlight in the distance, and sank
down in a dead faint on the line, ber
white wop showing conspicuously
against the dark ground in the clear
moonlight -
It was the headlight of the "May
flower," and Chester Vaughan 's will
was controling the impatient, pant
ing monster that Beemed determined
to overtake toe woman oeiovea wr,u
swilt destruction.
The orders were to run slowlj

SOMERSET. PA., WEDNESDAY,
around the curve, and the speed was
slackening when Chester Vaughan,
on the look out, saw; the white heap
in the path cf the engine where the
road had the sharpest curve.
Instantly a shrill whistle gave the
signal t) put on brakes, and the train
came to a standstill just in time to
save a life. j
He was on the ground in a mo
ment, and there, not a foot from the
engine, with her pale face showing

her eyes', to meet tho30 magnotic
ones of Chester Vaughan's.
"How came I here?" she asked.
She passed her haad slowly over

"Oh, yes; I remember. I was
lost and wandered on the line saw
the terrible engine coming, and then
all was dark."
"Do you live at Ashmont ?" asked
the guard.
"Yes, a quarter of a mile from the

"We will be there lo a few min

The passengers fell back into their

"She is a lady," said one. who
knew her face; "rich, they say,

"She is very beautiful." said the

Edna leaned against the cushions

and stopped. He carried you in here
as gently in bis arms as your mother

So Chester Vaughai Lad carried
her in.
Somehow she felt glad that he had
been the one to save her, and then
chided herself with ) the thought,
"How foolish I am!"-i
In a few moments IL train glided
into tho ctalion. Kind passengers
assisted Edna into the ladies' room.

They both hastened to her, over

Chester came at her request.
His tall, well-proportioned form

the ease of a well-bred gentleman.
he advanced, hat in hand,, aqi stood
before her.
''I wan( to thank you for saving
me from a terrible death. I under

the train.
He bowed.
"The act requires no thanks. I
am thankful to have saved a life. 1
hope you are now feeling better."
' I am, thank you. Tell me, was

"Very uear. indeed. Half anoth

said the old lady, putting ber arms
around tbo girl'o neck. "Where in

"Got lost, aunt, and wandered on

Edna had strange fits of musing.
One evening when she bad spent
half an hour gazing into vacancy,

that he has power to brighten yon np

promptly, "I would marry him as he
j is, and call myself the happiest girl
on eartD, it be loved me, and asked
me to do so."
Chester Vaugban just stepping
over the low doorway in the purple
twilight, heard tho words with a glad
thrill at his heart.
He never paused, but stepped up
to ber, aod in the presence of the

She had known what was in his

She put her hand in his, and an

"Nonsense, uncle! J'ni sure I've

turning to her lover.
"Certainly you have. But I am
too nappy to discuss trilles. "1 ve

there was quite a flutter among Ed

"I always knew she would do

"tjuite a scandalous proceeding
to marry a sooty engineer," said
another.
But one day this paragraph ap
peared in a daily paper:
"Mr. Vaughan, who is likely to re
alize a handsome fortune by a won
derful invention in connection with
the steam engine, is shortly to marry
Miss Yerney. We understand there
was quite a romance attending the
courtship."
Miss Verney's choice rose into
popular favor at once.
In the refined and cultured circle
which received them there were no

Ktrrngtn t Greek Soldiers.
Tho physical superiority of the
ante-Alexandrian Greeks to the har
diest and most robust nations of
modern time3 is perhaps beet illus
trated by the military statistics of
Xenophon. According to the author
of the "Anabasis," the complete ac
coutrements of the Spartan soldier,
in what we would call heavy march
ing order, weighed seventy-five
pound?, exclusive of the camp, min
ing and bridge building tools, and
the rations of bread and dried fru'i
which were issued in aeckly install
ments, and increased the burden of
the infantry soldier to ninety-five
or even a full hundrod pounds. This
load was often carried at the rate of
four English miles an hour fortwelve
hours per diem, day after day ; and
only in the burning deserts of south
ern Syria the commander ot the
Grecian auxiliaries thought it pru
dent to shorten the usual length of a
day's march by one-fourth. The
gvmnastic tests applied by the -
larvhs, or recruiting-officer of a pick
ed corp", would seem more preposter-
-ous to the uninformed exauisttcs oi a
modern "crack rniuien." Even
tall and wpU shaped men of the
codudvst constitution could not pass
the preliminary examination unless
they were able to jump their own
height vertically, and thrice their
own length horizontally, and two
thirds of those distances in full arm
or; pitch a weight equal to two
tbirds that of their own to a distance
of twenty yards, and throw a javelin
with such dexterity that they would
not miss a mark the Uo cf a r.;.ftn,'s
head iporp than four ott oi ten times
at a distance of fifty yards, besides
other tests referring to their expert
ness ia the use of tie bow and broad
sword. -Popular Sconce Monthly fur
