The stranger discreetly forgot wiio it was ',l,t ne had heard that it was a re markable story and that the man on the cracker box was indirectly inter ested, and as he was always: fond of hearing true stories, especially when there was a little sentiment in them, he la-gged for the one indicated. "It ain't of no conHekence," said the man on the cracker box ; "faeU ii facts, and a leetle sentiment mixed in with 'cm isn't goin' to hurt noliody. If you've planned to ninny the girl you love, an' ot a whole lifetime of happi ness mapjvd out, with you and her liviu' in a section, on a town lot, and you get left, you'll always have a pic ture as fair as Paradise, an' like enough the reality wouldn't have panned out half satisfactory. "That noise ? No, that ain't the wheels of the stage a-comin'; that's a tree-toad hollerin' for rain. "Lemme see !

"It were the very next night, an' as dark as pitch, when there c me a low kniM-k at that .lo ir. It was after stage time an' I bed dm out the Injuns and locked up for tlie night, when there come a soft knock that made me jump. It are nervous kind of work, a buryin' a boss thief as has Rvii bung, but I reckoned be were hurk-d safe an sHjiid till the day of judgment, an' I op.-ucd the door. An' then I were m-art, for a t ill wom-tti was standing there. " 'This st rc's shet up, mum,' I, lsitslieje-t slipp.-d in an' said:' Light a lamp, I want to sty methin'.' "She bed the sweetest voice I ever heard, an' when I bad a light I see she war young an' interest in' like, but tremblin' an' liakiu' with fear.

"With that she cried and soblied. Ird, how she did go on, an' me there alone, an' I didn't know but she'd come to kill the whole caUiodle of us. Itut tshe never sjmke a hard word of any body, only cried an' said she was a lone woman an' Dick had always lieen good to her, an' now she liadu't a friend in the world. " 'Yes you have,' sex I ; 'if there Is anything sh rt ofhriugiu' your hus band (Kick to life, I'm your huckleber ry, an' yoj ca:i bank on me every Uni.'.' "With that I reached out my band an' she grabbed it an' I soon had her tears dried, for I am a powerful cousol iti't when I set out to be, an' I told her that a m in who would steal horses was of ti3 account anyway that she war a tight too good look in' to be the wife of a hois thief, and there was as good fish in the sea as ever was caught, an' she said I was a dear, good frieud, place where she eruld stay for a few days, 'cause she wanted to see Dick's grave, an' then she looked at ma kind of side ways and said she felt as soon as she saw me she could trust me. "I told you as how the sheriff had gona to Detroit with a lifer. WelL I t ak her right up to Mrs. Sheriff, who was a mighty kind woman, an' I aez : I've brought you company,' and told her who the woman was. Au' they cried in each other's anas, for women are everlasting sympa'thizin' with each ESTABLISHED 1827. other. 'You shall have the spare room you poor thing, and stay here jest as long as you like,' sez Mrs. Sheriff, and went off to get her somethin' to eat " 'Can you show me poor Dick's grave from here? asked the widow, stepping to the door where I was staiidin. " 'No, I can't,' aez I, 'for it's up on the bluffs' anl I pint?d ojt the parti cular bluff where the varmint were buried. "Dj you see them two hotses staked over thar? I asked. " 'Yes,' sez she, 'an' it'a for them I'm a widow to-night' "'Thar' a thou-tan' dollars' worth of hoss-flesh, an' o:io Is only a three- year-ol.L There's trottin blood in both of 'em. Your husband were a good judge of ho.sses, mum.' " 'Too good,' she said, an' began to cry agin, aii' then we went inside the house an' I bed a leetle chat with Mrsj Sheriff afore I left " 'We've bought two new dogs, an' they are soma bloodhound,' sez she. 'AI 'lows he Isn't goin' to run enny more risk an' he swnpjied liull an' Major for 'em. I'm most scared of 'em myself. Would you like to see 'em?' " 'No, sez I, 'dogs ain't my line. Don't let 'em eat up your company.' " 'I'll take care of her,' sez she, and with that I said good-night to both women and went home. "I'd just got the store ojn-n in the morula' when I was aent for in a great hurry to go Mrs. Sheriff's. Lord, but she were a takln' on. Sunburst and Raby Mine were both gone. They had been run off in the night by boss thieves, and Jim, the hired man, hail been lookiu' for them since daylight and tla re wam't hide or hair of either to lie found. "How's the wilow?' I asks, when the hull story had been told half a dozen times. " 'I ain't roused her,' sez Mrs. Sher iff; 'she must be powerful tired to sleep through such a noise. I guess I'll wake wake her up,' an' with that she stcp fied to the door and rapped. There was no answer, an' she gave tlie dNra shove and went in. Ill a minute she yelled for me, an' if you lielieve me there wam't no one there, an' the lied had never been slept in. "You could hev knocked us birth down with a feather, for there was a woman's gown an' a switch of light hair, an' a veil an' an' some other tog gery.

Not For Money. Things were so bad around the hotel that when the landlord came out on the veranda to smoke a pipe with me I felt it a sort of a duty to say : 14 You have the p-sirest coffee and tea here I ever saw at a hotel." 'Yes, I've had heaps ofcomplaints,' he placidly replied. ''Your cook is also way off on his meats." "Yes, reckon he is." "And bis hot cakes are like so much leather.' ' "I've noticed that myself." "I have called for milk twice, and both tim.i it has b?en sour." "Yes, they hain't very particular IsMit the milk." "That Is an abiminable b.-d you gave me," I coiitinncd, determined to say all there were to say then and there. "Mighty pore l-ds all over the house,' he replied as he smoked away. "And the help around this hotel is the worst in the whole state." "I've bin told so, and I sa-Hildu't wonder if it was true." "See here, my friend," I said after we had smoked in silence for three or four minutes, "are you running this hotel to make money?"' "Why, no, of course not !" he replied In seeming surprise. "Then what is your object ?" "Why, to board and lodge my 14 hands who run my brickyard and the eight men who work in the sawmill. ;.mm1 gracious, but you didn't reckon I was running a hotol to accommodate the general, public did yKi ?" Our Corn and Wheat. Rcports from Berlin indicates that as a result of the efforts of agents of our (toverumeiit there American com is coming into increased use. This has long been sought by ou,r Agricultural Department, lurth under Secretary Rusk and Secretary Morton. The statement that the consumption of corn in (Senuany has recenty doubled indi cates that the effort is attended with considerable success. Yet it is one of the worries that some times attend governmental success that this Ls achieved in a year when corn is so high and wheat so low as to cause the two sorts of grain to change places in their functions in the far west. The fact that western farmers are selling their corn and feeding their wheat to hogs may have a double aspect on our relations with the German markets. In one aspect, we may hope, as one ex change adds, that when we have taught the Germans to eat corn we can theii take the final step of educating them up to the luxury of wheaten bread. In an other view, we may sound our horn on the theme that while Germany is just getting up to the point of feeding her people corn we are feeding our animals on wheat The highest lighthouse oa the Amer ican coast is at Cape Henry, Virginia It is 1G5 feet in height, built wholly of iron. RAILROAD DETECTIVE 3- Every Line Has itj Men Shrewed, Intelligent and Brave. Every railroad company has a small corps of detectives bright fellows who do not win big reputations in big cases, lut who are constantly employed in the hardest and most trying work. They are traveling from one end of the line to the other looking up all sorts of depredations except the work known as sHtting employes. That work is usually done by detective hired from an agency. The reason Ls easily ex- plaineiL Tlie railroad detective, iu or der to carry on his work successfully, must have a large personal acquaint- ence with the employes of the road. It is a ten to one shot that If any one of them caught him spotting a friend he would be henceforth useless. But there is no end to labor. The protection of patrons in large railroad stations from pickjMK'kets and bunco men is a most imKirtant woi&. It reipiires a detective with a remark able memory for faces and a most ex tensive acquaintance with sneak thieves. He must carry the rogues' gallery iu his brain. It often liappens, though, that a man possessed of the real detective Intuition can come pret ty near locating a thief by his appear ance and manners. For instance, while moving alxmt in a crowd at a railroad station a crowd that changes constant ly he will perhaps notice one man who remains there after the departure ami arrival of several trains. That man is classified by the detective as a suspi cious character. The detective watches him carefully, and then if he Ls not quite sure he politely asks the man whether be is waiting for a train. If tlie answer Ls unsatisfactory the detec tive will oliserve that the waiting room Ls not a public loafing place, but Ls in tended for passengers. In nine out of ten cases the experience detective will know whether the nun is lying. Sta tion detectives, as they are called, must have a U-tter knowledge of thieves than the average agency detective, for there is a great roar in a railroad office whenever a tockct Ls picket in a wait ing room. It is to Ih.' said, however that such occurrences are comparative, ly rare. The green gmaLs man goes to meet hLs victim waits outside the sta tion or on the ferryboat There is an end of the old days when bad men could ply their work in waiting rooms, men like Grand Central Pete, who got his sobriquet because he was usually found hanging alsiut the Grand Cen tral Station. The railroad detective's work for the most part is hunting out freight thieves and employes who have destroyed prop erty and in detecting thieves who make railroad property a mark. He is set on the trail of the man who draws a ppike from track or tlie small Isiy who throws a stone through a car window. When a switch is turned by an un known hand he investigates. Every loss, no matter bow small, is investi gated by such large companies as the Pennsylvania and the New York Cen tral. The theft of a ticket office calls forth talent which may have lieen wasted in profitless search for a boy who threw a stone at the locomotive. A duty that keep railroad detectives busy in times of labor troubles Ls the hunting down of writers of anonymous letter to railroad officers. letters from crank are thrown In the wase liasket, but letters containing threats to destroy railroad property are held for investiga tion. During strike the detective corps Ls enlarged, the help laeing fur nished by such agencies as Pinkcrton's and Drummond's. Whenever a case involving large interests and requiring a special form of skill Ls to la? handled the agency is called upon. Express companies usually employ two detectives unless a special guard Ls required for large shipments money iu sparsely settled regions.

"I want you to get me out of jail on a writ of habeas corpus, and I want it right away." "Well, bold on, my friend," said I. We have got to have a reason to show to the Court before we can ask for a writ" "I've reason enough," he exclaimed. "The cruelty of the keeper makes life there unbearable." "Oh, psliaw !" said I, "don't tell me me such nonsense as that There never was a kinder keeper in charge of a jail." "Judge for yourself," he insisted.

He says: Some of our fanners consider it the best practice to sell in the Fall or a; early as the cabbage can be disposed of. Other hold over a great many heads for sale at different intervals all through the Winter and Spring. Sometimes, of course, prices are as giaai in tlie Fall as they are later, or better ; but, as a gen eral thing, in midwinter cabbage takes quite a rise iu the Boston market Therefore the farmer takes a certain risk in holding over liLscabbuge. There is also some loss by rotting, although the cabbage Ls quite hardy, and if proji- erly protected from the weather usually stands the Winter quite well. For storing a gixxl, deep eellar under the house or other building Ls employ ed, or eLse a pit Ls prepared out of doors upon any comparatively dry sis-it in he field. The deep cellar, if cool and free from moisture, enable the fanner to get hLs cahlmge out at any time in Winter certainly much better than a pit, but many do not have cellar room, and it may t said in favor of the pit that, if the cabbage are rightly packed away, in it and well covered, a very equable temperature can 1 maintain ed and the crop come through the Win ter in fine sbaja-. In preparing the pit no ds-p excava tion is made, generally not more than one or two feet The bottom Ls sver ed with meadow hay or other similar materials. The cabbage are packed t-liMC together and covered with leaves, liay or other packing, and then per bajis a layer of earth, and as Winter comes on another layer of hay and an other layer of soil are addeL Cabling- should not Is? stored until very cool weather in late Fall and ear ly Winter. They should be at fir-t protected lightly and receive addition al covering as cold weather la-comes more and more severe. The idea Ls to keep tlie temperature just above freez ing, as freezing destroys the giaal cab lage taste, ami a much higher temper ature causes them to rot badly. When taken out of the pit or cellar, usually some trimming is needed. The old, dead or rotten leaves on the outside are stripped off, and this leaves the heads looking fresh and green and attractive. One of our fanners has made a leading speciality of cabliages, shipping them to Boston by the car load at intervals, for which purpose he put a stove in the freight car and had a fire in very cold weather to prevent freezing.

Miss Netlwrby sat down ia despair after she had shown hcrjfriend out of the mr!or, and she felt that a g! cry would make her feel much better. Ab hal ju.--t informal h-r ia the mt disinterested way that her brother Hurt, for whom she bad fi rmed s many ambition -chem- for marriage, was even now in love with a shop girl. Ada iufoniM-d her further that the store where this p rson worked was opjasdte her brother's club, and that Burt was always seen waiting in thw neig!tlsrbaal until the shop girl finisli ed her work, when she joined hint outside. This news was a terrible shock to Kate Netherhy, who thought that no woman in the world was quite gisal enough for lier brother. When he came home that night and they sat down together at dinner she lost no time in la-rating him for his conduct in no measured terms. He waited calmly until she had finished her accusation and replied with Mime dignity : "I will not deny, a you seem to think I will, that the story with which some meddling busylssly has filled your ears Ls true. It Ls, every word of it Two months ago, by the merest accident, I saw and fell ia love with the loveliest girl I ever set my eyes uaiti. That she was honorably working fur her maintenance only made her nobler in my estimation. I procured an in troduction, not without difficulty. As you have heard, I go to the store often I may ss,y frequently and several times I insisted, when the weather was stormy, ujsn seeing her home. Kate, it never entered my mind that you hail any of that low-bred pride that would deem it deroga'ory to a l-rsoii to le obliged toeam her living. You complain that I have d-s-jwd you. It was not deceit, but reluctance, for until I learned my fate I did nt care to speak to you alsiut it And - probably you would never have hear 1 anything alsiut it had it not U-eu f.r your informant, for my fate has Us-n, learned to my it." The conclusion of bus sentence brought Kate to her ft-et. "To y i sir owl ? Burt, what do you mean T' "Simply," he replied, "that your bro ther ha hail his elf-etcem pretty effectually cru-hc out of existence. The girl I love cares not the least fr me, save," bitterly, "a a fricmL" With the lat words Hurt's head sank into hLs bands. Kate ls iked at him arha.L Never In-fore had she seen a shallow upon her idolized hrot Iter's frank, merry face, and now it was no mere cloud hut a tempest of suffering that convuLs-d bis features. She went to him and put her ann alsiut his neck, anger and pride completely routed. "My poor brother, Is it as had as this? Forgive, oh, forgive me, if I have wounded you. I never w ill again." And so they are reconciled, and for a time everything goes on a before. Then something happen that has tha finger of fate impressed on it.
