XuboJy l.ad ever rearde-J Janie much cf a heroine. Indeed, ehe had never even viewed herm.-li in that light. If Citty had heen asked a!out it, he ull Lave declared without a moment's Le&ihition l!iat Janie w as the meet cow arJly girl he hid evtr ttn. The tiLt of a ti.oiifre w juld fr;t!ilen her a'a:.i3t ii-to h ti ic-s, and T.hen (Jay lhrw & little ca'.tirpitiAf into her Up cne time, she fainted dead away and came near beiriij i-eriously ill afterwards. Hut jeo p'.e that knew this didn't know all about Janie yet. he didn't look like a heroine in the Scant. She v:-3 thin and a wk ward -lock-ingj'ast after her most awkward a0-e, said her mothtr, w ho felt sure that Janie wouM L a handsome and graceful jjirl botne i.lay. Iler hair was hrown and wad always braided dow 11 her hack, aiTording Ciuy a convenient handle to pall her around by, w hich he did at least a doz en times a day. Her face w as freckled, and Uuy wse always reminded of a gain-(K- when Le saw her, which led him to cry " (ot-raek ; pot-rack!" in imita tion of that unmuiical barnyard f j h Ia bbc:t Jar.ie was not very pretty, but w as very good tempered ; othewise there would le been war between her and Master Gey every day. They were cous ins, of about the sa-ne age, and the farm house, at which they lived was the home of Jauie's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald. It wa-5 a lovely old place, that Gerald faruihouae. The ipaint stone house was very old, as J great eha and walnut trees ttood around it with their long branches reaching like protecting arms clear over the roof. All about the wide porches rose and honeysuckle vinos ran riot, and the yard w as filled w ith beds of old fiShioned phiksand lilac bushes, w"ith mignonette and sweet alyssum sprinkled in between them. n every side of the farmhouse stretchel the wide fields, mct cf them j j?t shading ciT from green into gold, f jr it was early summer, and the wheat would soon be ready to har vest. "Guy, come go with me to mamma's room. I w art a book that I hit there to day," said Janie coaxingly, on one par ticular night, which led Guy to exclaim with his superior air: " My, my, Janie 1 I wouldn't be such a cowai l as you are 1 Afraid of the dark! AnJ he stalked cp stairs as thongh n jlhir.g in the world could put him to flight, and then pretended to see some thing terrible in the hall and went gkur ryirgdown stairs with poor Janie cling ing to him, at; J bur.t out laughing after wards because he had succeeded in fr:ghte;iir.g her. Oh, he was a dreadful fellow, this Guy ! It was the very next day that Mr. Ger ald came hurrying home from town with a telegram. Mrs. Gerald's siiter was very ill, and hid sent for her to come and see her once more before the passed away. "What am I to d ?' ex lalmed Mrs. Gerald, as they ail stood about her. " Poor Jtettie! I know I ought to go, but I can t go alone, and w hat's to h done with the children ?" " I'll co with, mother,"' said Mr. Gerald decisively. " The children can get along for a day or to, and I'll be be back by that lime." " Uiit Janie is fsch a coward," objected the mother. There it was again. Ev erybody called her a cow ard. Well, Guy can go over and get Mrs. Peters to come and stay until we come back. Hurry and get ready, mother. It is three miles to the station, and we mnst catch that ti o'clock train." rk Mrs. Gerald got ready, talking ail the time and telling Gay and Janie how to manage everything in her absence, and in course cf fifteen or twenty min utes Janie and iyy stood in the door and watched them driving briskly down the fong lane that led to the " big gate," and then V the country road beyond. And then, all at once, the place seemed won derfully lonely and still. Janie did not remember ever to have felt s- lonely in her life. " We'!, if yc.n aren't crying!'' exclaim ed Guy sharply. " What a baby you are, Janie. Xobody could hire me to be a girl. il!y things, afraid of their own shadows !" After which he strolled oJdown to the barn, leaving Janie to cry her cry out. " Haven't you started for Mrs. Peters yet? a.ked Janie, half an hour after wards, w hen he came in w histling. " Xo, ma'am 1" he answered in his most jirovoking manner. "I'm not going over there till I get the evening work done op. Has your ladyship any furth er orders ?" "Oh, Guy, please go!" begged Janie. " It will be dark pretty soon, and I'll have to stay here ail alone till you get back. Piewse go right away, Gay!" " I'm not going till I get ready," said Master Guy, not crossly, bnt just because he could say it, and he liked to annoy Janie when be could. It was for thia same reason, perhaps, that he dawdled about the work, taking twice as long as 1 usual; and the summer twilight was set- ; ting in before he finally started ofl, w histiing as he went. Janie stood in the door, straining her eyes to watch the boyish figure, swing ing lightly along the path that led by a "near way" through the orchard and across the woodlot. She realized that it was growing dark and 6he was alone m the great rambling house. The crickets outside were making the evening niosi cl and the mournful cry of the whippor- ESTABTTSHKI) 1827. willa came np from the woods and was echoed faintly from the opposite hills. Overhead the bats were darting about swiftly and silently and against the fad ing red of the sunset an owl winged its noiseless way. When she glanced over her shoulder into the empty rooms be hind her she coold scarcely keep from screaming, they were so dark and shad owy. To the credit of her self-control be it said, however, that she did not scream. Her heart was faint, bat she went inside and fastened oil the doors and windows in her mother's careful way. Then she went to the kitchen, lighted the lamp and sat down there with a book. She chose the kitchen because her mother spent so much of hr time there, and it made her feel as thouch her mother were nearer. And S3 this brave liule heroine who was yet such a coward, sat there with quaking heart reading one page over twenty times and longing for Guy's return. Itseemed an age to Janie, though it was probably not more than haif an hour, when she heard a step on the walk and then on the porch, followed imme diately by a knock on the kitchen door. That was joj-t Guy's way, Janie thi-ew down her book, sprung joyously to the door and flu r.g it wide- cpen, crying: Oh, Guy, have you come at last ?" And the great, hard-feature tramp that stood there stepped quickly inside and shut the door after him, saying with agrin: - " Ycs'ni, I've come at last. Glad to meet such a warm reception, I'm sure. Keen expeitia me all day, hain't you T' Ail the blood in Janie's boJy tlew to her heart and left her icy cold. She thought for a moment that she was dy ing, and wondered vaguely what Guy would think when he came back and found her dead. But after w hat seemed quite an interval, she fonnd herself look ing straight into the eyes of the tramp, who was burly and brutal as one could wish. " You'll know me next time, I reckon," he said with a hoarse laugh. "Twon't pay you to know me too good. I can tell you that right now. Hustle around and git me somethin' to eat, an' be lively about it, too 1" Without a word Janie went to tueccp board and began placing the remains of the supper be fore him. A loaf of bread a roll of butter, some fried bacon and a dish of cold cabbage that was the ex tent of it. While she was placing the food upon the table bis eyes caught the gleam of the little rare old silver that that had come down to Mrs. Gerald from her great grandmother, and he jumped tp and came to the cupboard. " Humph ! Xo plate about that !" he said, weighing some of the spoons in his hands. " I guess I'll take these things in out o' the cold. Country folks ain't got no business eutin' with silver. It makes 'era feel stuck op." And he stowed all the knives and forks and spoons away in his pockets and in his boot-tops. He w as about to turn away then, when upon the topmost shelf he caught a g!impse of the very thing Janie had been most anxious to hi'.lc-f.-om him, a silver tureen, very ele gant and very massive. It had been a wedding present to Mrs. Gerald's grand mother. "IU just take that there soup bowl," he remarked. " Mount op on a cheer, little gal, an" hand it down to me." "Oh," cried Janie, clasping her hands, please don't take that away! I know it wcnld break mamma's heart to lose it ! She loves it because it was grandma's. See there, it has her came on the side. iVjn't take that, please ! ''Ob, shut cp!" said the tramp gruf fly. "An' hm::!e round and see if you can't tied me somethin' St for a gentle man to eat. I never did see such poor grub." He sat down at the t.ible grumbling, but Janie did not hustle," S.e bad forgot ten ail alout Icing afraid. She would have said something very bitter, but her indignation choked her With Hashing eyes she watched him, a he devoured part of the food and threw the rest of it on the floor. "Ain't there no milk?" he at last de manded. " If there is, fetch it oa, an' Le spry about it, do you hear?"' "There's milk, yes," cried Janie' ring ing voice, for she was at Ia.- thoroughly angry; "but you'll get it yourself if there's any goL There's the cellar door and you can get w hat you want. I wont." The tramp looked at her darkly and fumbled with his knife a minute; but Junie stood just beside the door. He knew that if he started toward her she would be outside in an instant, and would perhaps give the alarm to any one passing along the road. He thought of it a moment, and then, taking a candle from the kitchen table and lighting it, he threw back the trap door ia the cor ner of the kitchen and disappeared down the stairs. Xo sooner had his head and the can dle gone from sight around the corner of the cellar wail than Janie began tugging at the heavy dr. S'he could scarcely lift it under ordiua ry circumstances, but now she hardly felt its weight, and it came down with a crash. She heard the tramp running back and had just lime to 3l:p the iron bolt into the socket when he waj there, beat ing on the door, raining heavy blows up on it and filling the air with dreadful oaths. Janie listened for a moment, white with terror of her own deed, and yet her eyes shining with exultation. Then, opening the door, without even a backward glance, she fled out into the night. The change from the light of the room made the darkness very intense for a little while, but ihe had found her way half through the orchard before her eyes became accustomed to the heavy shad ows and the faint starlight. She was not afraid even then. She forgot that she had ever been afraid of the dark. She was afraid of the raging, cursing creature that she had fastened up ia the cellar and she could not have "persuaded her silf to stay in the same hoae with him, bat she thought jubilantly that the cel lar door was strong and the window were barred with iron. He would never be able to get out and now she could go and find Guy. Down through the orchard path, with the leaves rustling softly overhead, and with the stars shining down through the open spaces. The whippoorwills were calling yet, intones full of qaiet melan-, JULY G, 1892. choly. Away down towards the creek the frogs were chirping in merry chorus. With such small helpless creatures as these abroad, nothing very harmful could be lurking under the shadows. She could see better now and so she ran. Once indeed her heart failed her a lit tle. It wa when she reached the fence that separated the orchard from the wood-lot, and saw how dark it was in the thick shadows of those trees. Cut it must be done there was no turning back to that lonely house with that rag ing w il 1 beast in the cellar. And so she climbed bravely upon the fence and then down upon the other side. As she stepped dow n upon the ground her foot touched something that made her scream, and she sprung oil to one side, almost fainting from pure fright At the same moment the something at her feet groaned, and she knew that it was a human being. And at that sound Janie's gift of com mon sense came to her rescue, and her cowardice vanished before it. She crept back, feeling her way with her hnds, and presently touched a face, col l an i clammy with the dew. " Who is it ?" asked Janie, as tlie groan arose atr.cin, and the voice an i tons brought the responsite murmur : "Janie!" "Oh, it s Ciuy !" screamed Janie, f ill ing on her knees beside him. "Guy! Ob, Guy ! Tell me what's the matter !:' " Broke broke my leg," answered the boy, and then lapsed into unconsci ousness again, and Janie could get no more out of him. "I must go for help," said Janie to her self, as she Btraighteoed herself up and looked down into the dark wools, ani without a moment's hesitation she was gone. It was half a mile to Mrs. Peter's house. Janie could never have tol l af terwards w hether those woods were dark or not. She had no recolleciioa of them at alh She crossed the creek ou an oak log ; a log that she had always been tim id about in the day time, but which she glided over like souie spirit of the wood s that night. On past the hollow loj where Guy had once seen two tier eyes shining out of the depths ; past the rocky hiil where Mr. Brown hal killed the big rattlesnake, and on to the farther fence, the open load and the Peters farmhouse. And there the dogs came running out at her, and she had always been so afraid of those Peters dogs. But with un?x pected valor, ste seized a stick and Ltir! v put them to rout, and ran into the porch jfct as Mrs. Peters opened the door. "If you please, Mrs. Peters," gasped Janie, "I've caught a tramp and Guy's broke bis leg and we need he!p right away !" "Land alive !" exclaimed Mrs. Teter in astonishment, which was perfectly natural, it must be confessed. But ia a few minutes Janie told her story more rationally. And then, while Ms. Peters tied on her bonnet those blessed Peters boys ran out and saddled up the horses and one went to the neighbors, for help, while the two others went with Mrs. Peters and Janie after Guy. "Well, ifvou aren't the bravest clrl I ever saw !" was Mrs. Peters's only coin- j ment on the way over. Il was w ith the greatest diriicully that j they got G jy up and carried him houie j by easy stages. Kortunateiy Le fainted ; away at the first touch, and so was spared the suffering of the trip and at ht he j was taken into the house and laid on his ! mother's bed, while Janie sat beside him ! and waited for the doctor. At the same moment half a dozen men went down into the cellar, and after a desptrate fight succeeded in overcoming the tramp. They carried him out and loaded him into a wagon like a tale cf J hay, and had the pleasure an hour cr j two later of passing him iu tt the j til j door aiid having the kty turned upon! him. j ' The whole country rung with the story j of Janie's exploit, and she was pra.sed for her courage and presence of mind until she didn't know what to sav hut 1 when, A few days later, it wis found! that Janie's prisoner was a notorious j criminal for whom a reward was odered 1 by the State, and that Janie wa; to get the reward, she was the heroine of the country. Her mother grew pale with fright when she came home and heard of it, and she held her little girl close and cried over her as mothers wili sometixes when they are glad. But as for Master Guy, while Le lay w ith his leg ia the plaster bandage, weak and pale from the long iliness brought on him by his night of exposure and suiTering, he pulled Janie's brown braids one day, and sai 1 : "It was pretty plucky, Janie, for a little girl like you to shut np a big sav age tramp, all by yourself, and to run half a mile through the darkest niirht that ever was. That was pretty brave, especially that tramp part ; but I'll Let if I was up I could scare you half to deu!h with a mouse right now." "Maybe so," said Janie, with convic tion, "but there's a big diuVrence be tween a moa-e and a tramp, I can tell yon a big ditferenoe '. Anybody's afraid of a mouse !" And Guy laughed until the whole house rung. 1'U -ui-JU!p'tii Ti.-tci. A Million Friends.

Sometime since her villained hoshund deserted her, leaving her witkeut arent and four children t' care for. By some means or other the poor wcuiaa sa-veeded ia g-iting to Kingfisher, from w herd she walked out to the border of the reservation. The three larger children had been left ia town, hot the baby she carried ia fcer . arms. Just before the signal for the start some kind-hearted lady Cnm King fisher discovered her and took the Lahy to keep until ehe should try for her claim.
