THE SECOND MEETING.
Every bcxlv in Hopedale thought it per
fectly Batumi that Howanl Digony should
marry pretty MauJ Harvey, althoagh
Howard was only the telegraph operatnr
at HopeiUile Junction, with a Ratal! sala
ry as his sole dependence, and Maud was
the only child of Archibald Harvey, who
was President of the II opelaie and Bury
ille K. R, and the richest man in all
that country round.
Rut then if it had not been for the tel
egraph operator's presence of mind and
bravery, the railroad President would
have had no daughter to marry any
body. It happered in thi wise : There was a
picnic in the big grove about the Harvey
mansion, and the elite of Hopedale ere
there, paying homage to Maud, in honor
of whose seventeenth birthday the picnic
had been given.
The fair hostess was the centre of a
gay throng of gallants, who vied with
each other to secure her smiles.
She seemed to be ruost favorably im
pressed with Herbert Fitzmaurice, a re
cent arrival in Hopedale.
He was a swarthy, keen-eyed, thin lip
ped fellow, and although he came from
no one knew wheie, the fact that he had
an expensive suit of apartments at the
Eagle Hotel, and a snug amount at the
Hopedale N ition.il Rank, which he spent
lavishly, was with most people recom
mendation enough, and be had no diffi
culty in entering the best circle of socie
ty. ,
From the first he paid assiduous court
to Maul Harvey, and to-day he was her
shadow.
The heiress seemed to like his homage
and when he proposed a row on the
lake, she gladly consented,
Accordingly they embarked together
in a little ron bout, bat as it receded from
the shore, Maud's father called out to
them from the bank :
Lookout for the dam ! The current's
swift, and if yoa get caught in it nothing
can save yoa.1 r '
The voyagers made the careful parent
a langhing response, and FiUaiaurice
bent himself to the oars.
He bad been planning all the after
noon ho to get Mand off by herself,
for he bal firmly resolved to bring mat
ters to a crisis and ask her to be his
wife.
He had argent reasons for doing this,
but he kept them to hinifeif.
He accordingly rowed straight to the
middle of the lake, and tben dropping
the oars, leaned forward o that his dark
eves met those of the beautiful girl re
clining in Uie stern.
He was shrewd enough to approach
the subject nearest his heart with caution,
and this took much time.
At last he reached the critical point,
and seizing her hand, he declared hi
paseion.
Now, althonirh Maud bad always liked
the handsome stranger' homage, she
had never thought of him as a possible
husband, and his vehement, bnrning
words frightened her.
44 1 I" she stammered, withdrawing
her hand, and looking about her with
frightened eyes.
She w as too tender-hearted to wish to
wound him with a curt refusal, and she
hesitated for some excuse to turn the
subject.
As she looked about her the excuse
presented itself.
Heedless of their surrounding", they
hai allowed the boat to drift so that al
ready it was in the swift current, rushing
on toward the dam.
''See! "she cried, starting np. "We
are nearing the dam ! The oars, Mr.
Fitzmaurice.
With a muttered enrse at being balked,
Fiizruaurice glanced abont him, recog
nized their danger, and hasti'y shipped
the oars.
He bent to them with a will, and one
of them snapped short off.
With a cry of dismay he dropped the
other, anl it, too, was caught in the cur
rent and swept away.
He could plainly hear the thunder of
the falls, and every moment their dangar
increased. Now, Fitzmaurice had n3
idea of sacrificing his precious life, even
to save the girl to whom he bad just de
clared bis love.
He was a good swimmer, and, throw
ing off his coat, he leaped into the lake,
and struck out for the shore, which he
reached in safety. Then hurrying to the
hotel, he got together his b8ggage,settleil
no bis account with the bank, and left
Hopedale forever.
Maud, finding herself deserted, set op
a piteous, wailing scream, and the cry of
distress was heard by Howard Bigony,
who was at work in the stuffy little tele
graph office opposita the big da"n.
He looked through the open window,
saw Maud's peri), rushed out. leaped into
a little boat that he kept moored t the
ank, and pulled toward her with all
bspeed.
When lie reached the drifting boat it
was so close to the brink of the darn that
be saw it would be utterly impossible to
return to the shore.
Ahead of them was a large, pointed
rock, which stood in the very centre of
the dam, and overhung its edge.
" Con rage. Miss Harvey ! " be cried, as
he lifted the frightened girl into his own
boat.
Then dropping one oar, and usir.g the
other as a rudder, he steered the boat
toward the rock.

Irom being swept over the brink.
He shouted for help, and some railroad
handg at work near by hurried.to his as
sistance. Under the direction of the foreman, a
long, stout line was cast into the lake,
and when the end floated down to How
ard, he fastened it about Maud's waist,
took several turns around the rock, and
tben signaled the men oo shore.
He had been growing weaker all the
time, and now. as he finished the task
that was to save Maud, his lingers relax
ed their hold npon the rock, and he was
wept over the dam.
Maud shrieked and fainted.
A boat, manned by one of the railroad
men, was coming to her assistance along
the rope, bat she was lifted into the craft
in an unconscious condition, and it was
pulled slowly to the shore.
Several hours later, when she fully re
covered consciousness, her first inquiry
was for her brave rtacuer.
"He bad a meet, miraculous escape from
death, dear," answered her fither, who
was sitting at the beside. "It was one
of the bravest acU I ever knew a man to
do. He doliberately riskedhis life to save
yours."
''And waa he drowned 7" demanded
Maud, eagerly.
"No, thank heaven !" was her father's
hearty answer. "The water threw him
into a deep pool at the foot of the dam,
and the under-tow would have been his
death, bad he not been an excellent
swimmer. As it was, be kept his head
above water until assistance arrived, but
he was pretty well played out when they
took him from the water, and he is even
worse exhausted than you are. The doc
tor says he'll pull through all right,
though, and he shall come up hereto
receive your thanks and mine, as soon as
he is able."
Howard was a good-looking, well-educated
fellow, and his character was above
reproach.
He fell in love with Maud at once, and
she with hira, and when Archibald Har
vey saw how things were going, he rub
bed his hanJs joyfully together.
"He s the only man I ever met that I
thoughtgood enough for'her," be reflect
ed. '"He's as poor as a church mouse, it's
true, but he possesses something that gold
can't buy ; and, by gracious if he wants
the girl he shall have her, and I'll start
'em in life so that they'll be bound to
succeed.'
So Maud and Howard were engaged,
and life became one continued dream of
happiness to them.
Maud's fattier had stipulated that the
marriage should not take place nntil she
was nineteen years of age, but long before
that time they quarreled over a simple
matter, and in the dispute that followed
Maud made some spiteful reference to
Howard's poverty, and asserted that he
wanted her money and not her.
At those words the brave fellow's face
became white as death.
"Do yoa mean that T he demanded,
huskiiy.
"Yes. You're a f irtcne hunter, and
and I hate yoa V
"That settles it," said Howard in his
quiet, determined way. "And I guess
you are right, though not in imputing to
me sordid motives. But I don't think we
are fitted fjr each other, and I bid you
good-ilay and good-bye. I shall never
trouble yoa again."
With these words he left her.
She would have called him back, bnt
pride restrained her.
When he did not return she bnrst into
an agony of tears.
She was sobbing bitterly when her
father walked into the room. When she
told Lim what h id happened, he looked
very grave.
He most come back," sobbed Maad,
''for I love him. Oh, papa, bring him
back 1-
Thu? appealed to.her father hurried off
to tiie telegraph oifice. When he reached
there, he foand It his disno.iy that How
ard had resigned his position and left on
the down train for New York.
Ha telegraphed to intercept him, but
somehow the messag? was not delivered,
and Howard, with a bitter feeling of re
sentment in his heart against Maud,
reached New York and at once purchas
ed a ticket for the far West.
It was months before they hear.I from
him, and tben only indirectly. He had
loca'ed in an Arizona mining town, and
was getting rich.
Luring this time Archibald Harvey
halmt with terrible reverse, and he
found himself in his old age, red:j--ed
almost to penury.
It was thea that Mau I showed her true
ntb litr of character. With what re
nt t'n3d of the wreck of their fortune she
took her poor old father to the neighbor- ,
inx but larger town of Bnryville. and
ftera few days of persistent application
she secured a position that would at least j
keep them from want. j
In the happy day when she and How- j
ard were lovers he had taaght her tele-1
graphy, and she took advantase of this
knowledge now as a means of livelihood.
A rival telegraph company had opened
an office in the bote! where she and her
father were stopping, and upon applana
tion to the local manager she was given
the position of day operator.
She never ceased to think of Howard
and to regret the hasty words of anger
that had driven him fmn her. One day
when she had been in Bnrvville alxi.it a i
year she beard a familiar voice that caav
ed her heart to leap with joy ; and look
in? np shesiw Howard Bigon just regis
tering at the hotel desk.
Ha was bronzed and bearded and hand
somer than ever. He was accompanied
by a man of about his own aze whom he
called Jim, and it was in addreming the
latu r that Maud had heard his voice.
The clerk recognized Jim, and called
him by name.
"Aren't you Jim Fellows, who nsedto
be the telegraph operator over at the rail
road T he asked.
"Yes," answered Jim, "and this is my
partner, Howard Bigouy. He held down
the line at Hopedale Junct-on. We've
been West, made our pile, and now we've
ro trie home to enjoy it. See this bag,"
and he held aloft a leather satchel. "Wen
that holds oar fortune. There's forty
thousand dollars in that in cash, drafts
and promissory Botes."
At this boast the clerk 'opened his eyes,
Jim chuckled and he and Howard were
shown to their room.
Neither of them particularly notice
era
the pale-faced telegraph operator, who
bent over her instrument with tears in
her eye", and thought bitterly of the
"might have been."
And neither of them noticed at all the
darked-faeed, evil-eyed man lounging
near the desk,, who lrnk in Jim Fel
lows' boastful words with greedy ears,
and glanced covetously at the black car
petsack which the ex-operator carried.
. When the partners left the otiice, he
slunk away.
Presently Jim return 1, and asking for
pen and p-iper, went into the reading
room to write a letter.
Suddenly the electric bell, in the indi
cator back of the hotel clerk's desk, rang
sharply.
He glanced up at the number, called
"Oiont ! and was about to order the ser
vant who responded to go to No. 3'M
and see what was wanted, when an ex
clamation of astonishment escaped him,
and be said, instead :
"What's the matter with that fellow
Guess he don't know what an electric
bell's forr
For the bell was ringing out pea! after
peal in quick su'-cession.
"0b, Heavens r
It was this ay. fallinz from the lips of
Maud Harvey, who 'usheil from her lit
tle compartment with terror depicted in
every feature, that further heigh tened the
clerk's bewilderment.
For a full minute Maud stood staring
at the indicator, with her head thrown
forward, and then rushing into the read
ing room, she seized Jim Fellows by the
arm.
"Qnick !" she cried. "Your partner,
Mr. Bigeny, is in danger. Three robbers
are in bis room, about to murder htm
He wants yoa to get a gun and come to
Lis- "
But before she conld finish, Jim Fel
lows leaped to his fee t, and without any
inquiries as to the why and wherefure
ran from the room.
As for Maud, she uttered a moaning
prayer for the imperiled man, and fell
sobbing across one of the writing-desks.
Howard Bigony was in deadly peril.
While his partner was alent, he had
got out his shaving materials and pre.
pared to take off his shaggy beard.
He was busily engaged at the task,
when the door opened.
He thought it waa Jim, and rinsing the
lather from his eyes, he turned only to
find a man holding a revolver in his face,
another locking the door, and a thinl
searching the room for the bagful of mon
ey which Jim had thrown under the
be.L
"Back op against that wall V comman
ded, the man with revolver, whose face
looked strangely familiar to Howard and
with the muzzle of the weapon staring
him in the face, he obeyed.
"Put your bands behind yoa r was the
next command ; and Howard did as he
was orderexL
"Keep them there, Bob till I find the
stuff," said the man who waa searching
the room, "and then we,U slit his throat
and lope. "
At the same instant Howard Bigony 's
fingers touched behind him, in the wain
scot of the wall, a little projection, w bich
he recognized aa the call-button that con
nected by wire with the electric bell cf
the indicator in the hotel clerks office.
Instinctively he remembered his old
tinio telegraphic skilL He pressed the
button the same as if it were a telegraph
key, rapidly spelling out by dota and
Jaebes the words which caused the bell
in the otiice to ring out this message

lairing the time acquired to spell out
word by won, this message, he prayed
mentally that his partner might be aboct
the hotel office to interpret it.
lie had Sent the message,, and begun
to repeat it, almost in dealer o' succor,
when bangl bang! two shots were fired
over the transom, and as the man who
had not been hit turned quickly, How
ard sprang upon him and bote him to the
floor.
They were struggling there for the
mastery, when the'door was forced 0a
and Jiin Fellows, with a smoking revol
ver in his hand, bounded into the room.
He was feliowed by several men, and
two of the robbers were soon secured.
The other one who had covered Howard
with his revolver, lay on the floor, with
the blood trickling from a serious wound
ia tiie back of his head.
The ex-te!egraph operator, after a
searching look at tlte fellow's face, recog
nized him aa Maud's Harvey's cowardly
companion that day in the boat Mr.
Herbert Fitzmaurice.
It was when Howard spoke of this to
his partner that the latter remembered
the girl w ho had given the alarm, and he
hurried down stairs to thank lit-r.
Howard followed him, and the old liv
ers came face to face.
"Maud!"
'-Howard !"
And they were clasped in each other's j
arms, Sonriven and foiirivinir. I
Between the sobs of joy that she could
not repress as her old lover strained her
to him, Maud explained how she had
managed to save both his life and his
fortune.
"It was a blessed tbicg that you taught
me telegraphy, Howard," she said. "It
has enabled rue to make a living since
papa lost his money, and if I had not
known how to read by sound, the mes
sage you sent to c'ynr partner on tb elec
tric bell wire would not have been un
derstood, and those robbers would have
robbed and killed you."
Malaria
Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs
arising from low, tnarehy land, or from
derTtying vegetable matter, are breathed
info the lungs, taken up by the blood,
and unless the vital flui l is punaeil by
the use of a good medicine like Hood "s
Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate victim is
sood overpowered. Even in the more
advanced cases, where the terrible fever
prevails, this successful medicine has ef
fected remarkable cures. Those who are
exposed to malarial o other polors
should keep the blood pure by taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
The two college girls who ran a news
paper in Jersey have tired of the work.
They succeeded better than many men
could have done. When, they decided a

there was great regret on the part of

Rooert Bonner's Stables.
From th. Brodtlya Eagle.
Hanters, racer and b:g horws for
coaches and other four in hand work,
with the poio pony, have quite shoved
the trotter and the red, spider wheeled
bngsry out of the high place it once held
in American affection, and both on the
race track and in the private stable the
light-legged 2.20 speeder is bei-oming a
rarity. A few old New Yorkers still
cling to the loves of their earlier years
and look npon the trotter as the h ghest
type of equine perfection and worthy of
ail the luxu.y and attention they u-d so
generally to receive in the past. Robert
Bonner is one of these ; perhaps b-cause
he owns the greatest trotter in existence
whose record has never been broken and
probably never will be, since the breed
ing of trotters has so much dex lined,
Mr. Bor.nr ges to church in Dr. Hall's
fashionable Presbyterian teroplw on
Fifth avenue and iaamediatt-ly behind it
stanus his handsome stable, which, like
the church, are built of brick and over
grow n with vines. Hj is a regu'ar at
tendant on Sundays upon Dr. Hall's
ministrations, and a still more regular
attendant npon Maud S. He paid W.
H. Vaiderbilt fWOuO for her, ami when
the latter repented of his bargain and
offered him ffHO.OOO to get the light-heeled
lady tack be utterly refused t con
eider the question of parting fron bis
equine charmer, and baa steadly refused
everyoffersir.ee.
They say at the stables that Maud is
provided for in the rich publisher's will,
and whether he lives or dies, she will
pas all her days in luxury and ease.
Immediately after church on Sundays he
steps around to the stables to se how
she is and give her a lump of sugar,
while she mb her velvet nose on his
shoulders and tiiakes little feminine
sounds of pleasure. She is very fond of
Bonner as her master and protector, but
her real love is Murphy, the jockey,
whoie very step she knows, though she
only sees him once in a long whi e. She
never forgets him, no matter how much
time elapses lietwet-n their meeting.
Bonner driven her quite frequently in
the park and sometimes on the roads
about Tarrytowu, where she spends the
summer on his farm. She has j 1st come
home from he country and taken up her
quarters in town again, for Bonner does
not linger late in the country in autumn,
and. wants her here when he comes.
Another famous horse in these Bonner
stables is Rams, who has developed a
shockins temper and a pair of tender
feet in his declining years, and in really
of very little service, though Bonner
loves and cares for him for the wonder
ful horse he has been, for that matter
still is. barring these little discrepancies.
I Vxter died in these stables, and indeed
oid horsemen are inclined to take off
their hats in passi.'g the place from a
reverential feeling that this is a sort of
shrine of American horseflesh, while
Bonner himself feels that respect for
himself only possible to the man who has
been the owner of three of the mot
famous homes in the world. Maud
wears a blanket embroidered with this
legend: "Mand S, Qjeen of the Turf,"
and above her hangs the only whip with
which shejwas ever struck on the day
that she made her great unbroken
record. Thi9 whip is the property of
her adored Murphy, who keeps it a. a
precious relic. Perhaps she loves hira
becau;he is the only man whoever
struck her.
A Civii Service Examination.
There are men in Wanhington who
reach the liomerland of insanitv every
th ree months. Thev are the examiners
of the Civil .v-rvice Commission. By
nightfaii of a day on which an examina
tion takes place, you could not get one
of them tosear to his own sanity.
The last examination was probably the
most trying sin-e the Commission was
established, as ther were over S00 appli
cants in the various room. Although
everything is printed as p'ain as a sign
board, the examiners are harried by
foolish q'lestions at every tarn.
They first announce as they prepare to
pronounce the words in spelling:
"I shall give the word and then its
definition. You are to write the word,
but not the definition."
They ssy thia three times, the last
time with icy distinctness.
"Did you say to write the tleinition
and not the word T comes from a c 'ner
of the room, ic a Bin's voics, title
second word is pronounced.
The words "cymbil" an ! "syrtbol"
are prnounced with their ie.2c'ive de
finition, "Shall we write Symbol.' the sign, or
the musical instrument?" a-iin in a
man's voice.
This sort of thing keeps np ;m- il the
examiner, maddened, refuses to answer
anv further questions.
More trouble arises from the necessary
red tape, however, than from anything
else. Two nunber are git en t each
applicant obe, the apiplica'ion cumber,
the other, the examinatio 1 number.
One midd'e-aged man at the last exam
ination insisted on writing his explica
tion cambers right in the face of the
warning which said: "This apace for
examination number." When his at
tention wm callde to it he replied in an
injured tone:
"I've had that number in my mind
two weei., day and nighr. and if I don't
put it down there, I'd jx-tat like as not
forget it."
This same man hvd a rubieur.d nose
and what might be vailed a brash man
ner. He wasj cowed, however, a 1 paper
after paper was han led to him. As be
came to the sixth list of questions he
said :
"I think I could tackle this work if I
hail a good swig of peach brandy in me.
One of the applicants was ak?d how
he pawed.
"First rate," said he, "there was
nice, smart grirl tight next to me, who
passed me alt ber papers. There waa
only one thing I cocldn't do and that
was the decimals. I never hear 1 of de
cimals before."
Equally intelligent was the remark of
a woman who took the examination.
"I cos Ja't do that example ia inter
est," said she, "that one thai read
'write in words 5 yrs. 6 mos. wks. 5
hrs.' I never could understand Ir terest"

Steam Plows
That the method of plowing will ,.

Mediaeval Poison Rings.
In Italy the poison ring was carried to
the perfection of malicious imaaininz.

enemy out of the way. A hollow point
in the liezel, worked by a spring, com

for the poison, in such a way that its
villainous wearer could, in giving his
adversary a hearty grasp of the hand,
inflict a mortal scratch. The point was
fashioned to look like an ornament. So
deadly and enduring was the poison con
tained in these rings that some twenty

! fancier was taming over gems in a shop
in Paris, when he fell fainting and wa
with difficulty restore.!. It was found
that he had been wounded by a poi.-.a
ring.
This instrument of destruction was
also worn in perilous time, in ordr that
the owner might commit suicide rather
than fall into an enemy's hand An
other kind waa furnished at the back with
a slide, which could be slipped back by
the wearer, who would drop the poia
into the wine he offered to a hated gu-.
Thia kind was affected by Car Borg-a,
whose own signet ring bore an iu-ri-tion
little suited to his charade- " Faia
ce que dois, avien que pourra." Another
form of poison ring was the one which
had for iu bezel the key to a casket.
The wearer would band his ring in a
confidential manner to a visitor and d
sire him to hand him wm article from
his jewel box. The key, in being turned
in a somewhat stiff lock, would give the
unwary confidant a prick, which had
for him fatal results. Lon-Ion $.inbt7L

most intellectual schools, and is so gener

worth while to consider a recent I state
ment of eminent physicians . that the
mere exercise of ringing is a great help
toward the prevention, cure or alienation
of lung diseases. Iu the incipient state of
such diseases it is even said to be a pow
