"Hlllman! Hlllman!" lustily called
tile brakernun, thrusting open the car
door as the train slackened.
Two of the passenger* were roused
from 1 state of passivity by tbls an
nouncement and, gathering their be
longings, hastened out Into the cold
night. On* was a young girl with a
city bred air and the
other, a. man distinguished In appear
ance. They both looked bewtlderlngly
about them as the train slowly pulled
out
"This doesn't look like my recollec
tions of HUlman," said the «lrl, looking
about the small, deserted station.
"It Isn't Hlllman I" said the man de
cidedly. "What station is this?" he
asked as a railroad employee came out
of the depot.
"This? Tbls Is Rollins. Hlllman la
six milts beyant—next stop, except JJie
siding."
The two passengers looked at each
other tn mutual dismay. The girt spoke

' first. She spoke one word, nud that a
1 man's word. The railroad employee
' looked shocked, but the other man ap
peared relieved.
"Thank you very much," he said.
' "Ton voice my sentiments exactly.
Our common misfortune should allow
, us to waive all ceremony and conven
tionality. My name Is John Winters.
, I have recently taken up my abode In
Hlllman."
' "Mine Is Polly I-ester," she said j
' frankly, "and I am only going to Hill
man to visit. 1 trust I will never take :
np my abode there."
"It Isn't an enticing *pot," he ad
mitted, langhlng. "When can we get
' a train to Hlllman?" he asked of the
railroad employee.
J "Not tin tomorrow morning."
1 "Then we mnat drive there. I pro
-1 some there Is no livery hera, but there
must be some one who will drive us
over."
' "I guess Hank Innls, the barkeep,
would take you over In his automobile.
» I'll see."
He returned shortly with the bar
n keep and a runabout John Winters
made a burgaln with him for the trip,
and as Polly climbed to the seat beside
him he sirld:
' '1 have some good nows for you. it
9 seems our train meets the western ex
> press three miles from here, and that
s train Is reported late, so we can over
, ' take our train and continue our way as
we started."
Polly quite enjoyed this little adven
ture. She always did have a weakness
and a tendency for adventures. She
. ' chatted freely with her new acqualnt
s ance. She was almost sorry when they

gers. Polly and" John Winters contin
ued their chatter until they approached
Hillmnn. Then she suld abruptly:
"Hlllman Is u small place, and people
have narrow views regarding proprie
ties. It would be as well If we got off
elngrly and separately and meeting, as
we doubtless will, as strangers."
"Certainly. You are right," agreed
Winters, going forward to the smoking
car.
Polly was met and wblsked away to
the one hack by u spinster aunt.
"Has Hlllman changed much—auy
new people moved In since I was last
here. Aunt Cornelia?" asked Polly de
murely as they were unpacking her
lugkagc.
"Oh, yes. HUlinan Is growing fast
Lots of people, and we've got a new
minister, n city fellow."
"What's bis name?" demanded Polly,
looking up Interestedly.
"The Rev. Mr. Winters."
"Oh!" gasped Polly feebly, bending
over a refractory box cover. "What
doos he look like?"
"I am ashamed to Bay I haven't seen
him," replied her nuut "First Sunday
he was here I had a cold. The next
Sunday It just poured. He has called,
but 1 was not at home."
"Well, I presume he will call ngaln,"
remarked Polly.
Later, when she was alone and re
posing comfortably In the billow/
feather bed, she laughed wickedly and
delightedly.
"Oh, what would Aunt Cornelia do
If she knew I swore right before the
new minister! She'd leave town, I do
believe. I thought I liked him very
well, but I don't know. I like a minis
ter to live up to his calling, and he
should not have been amused. It was
frivolous In him to know so much
about the world. If he weren't a min
ister I know I'd like htm, but as he Is
a minister I'd like him to be different"
The next afternoon her aunt an
nounced that she had to attend a club
—... whlnk. aha rearetted to
•ay, outsiders were excluded. Polly
appeared resigned, however, and after
her aunt's departure she wandered
about the house seektng diversion. Bhe
found It In her aunt's bedroom In the
shape of B wig, for her aunt had to re
sort to a false headgear, having lost
her hair through Illness.
Polly promptly donned It and sur
veyed herself.
"I don't look unlike aunt," she
thought, "only I ara young and plump.
We look like the advertisements for
'before and after taking.'"
In parsunnce of the resemblance she
tried on a black sllkon gown of her
Hunt's. Shu had Just pinned an a long.
a huge cameo pin when she looked out
of the window and saw"" her fellow
traveler coming up the steps.
"Coming for a ministerial call. He
won't recognise me In this outfit, and
he has never seen aunt I shall per
sonate her!"
She hastened to admit the caller.
"How do you do—Mr. Winters, Is It
not? I am Miss Cornelia Laflln. Be
•eated, please. I thought I was never
going to meet my pastor. I was so
sorry I was out when you called be
fore."
He politely regretted the fact also
and proceeded tf> talk of the church [
matters.
j "Hypocrite!" thought Polly. "I'll test
him further."
j "Mr. Winters, I don't suppose I ought
j to tell you my troubles on our first
meeting, but I feel I must unburden
my mind and ask your advice."
"Certainly, my dear Miss Laflln. Ton
may command and trust me."
"I have a niece visiting me—a well
meaning girl, but brought up in a
worldly way, and, Mr. Winters, will
you believe me, she actually at times
—dear me, how sen I tell yon—she
#wearsl"
"No, Miss Laflln! You amaze me!
It cannot be possible!"
"Horrkl hypocrite!" thought Polly
again.
Hearing voices on the porch, she look
ed out and beheld ber aunt entering In
oampany with a man. Dismayed, she
snatched the wig from her head re
gardless of tho effect upou the min
ister. Rlie bad Just concealed It when
her aunt and companion entered.
"I made a mistake In tho date, Polly.
This Is onr pastor, Mr. Winters. My
niece. Miss Lester, Mr. Winters. I met
Mr. Winters on bis way here."
"Well, John, what are you doing
here?" asked tho minister after ac
knowledging the Introduction to Polly.

Tlie Critic on the Il««rtk.
It may be argued from a story In
Lord ICdmoud Fltzmaurlce's "Life" of
the second Earl Granville that a wife
with a seeing eye can size up her hus
band quite as accurately as an astute
politician. When Sydney Herbert, the
first Lord Herbert of Lea, resigned
the war office lu 1801, Paliuereton, then
premier, fixed upon the scholarly Sir
George Cornewall Lewis to succeed
him.
Lady Theresa Lewis immediately ex
pressed her doubt of her husband's fit
ness for the office, but Palmerston's
messenger argued the point, saying the
duties would not be military, but civil.
"He wouKl have to look after the
accounts."
"He can never make up his own!"
declared Lady Theresa.
"He will look after the commissa
riat," continued Palmerston's mouth
piece, with assurance.
"He cannot order his own dinner I"
"He will control the clothing depart*
ment," with timid hopeiulneau.
"If my daughters did not give the
orders to his tailor he would be with
out a coat!"
Palinersten carried the day, however,
and Cornewall Lewis reluctantly ac
cepted the office. Not long after the
undersecretary found him In a club,
trying presumably to Inform himself
upon his duties. He was read\ng a
work on the military tactics of Ljcao
nlans.
The Melon Didn't Count.
ITie memoirs of Geueral Marbot upon
the first French empire relate that on
the occasion of a very formal distribu
tion of rewards made by Napoleon be
fore Ratlsbon an old grenadier came
forward and demanded somewhat
sharply, to the astonishment of all, a
cross of the Legion of Honor.
"But what have you done*" said Na
poleon.
"Why, sire," said the soldier, 4 it was
I who, in the desert of Yafa, when It
was terribly hot and you were parched
with thirst, brought you a watermel
on."
"Thank you," said Napoleon, "but a
watermelon for a general Is not worth
a cross of the Legion of Honor."
The grenadier flow Into a violent
rage. "Well, then," he nhonted, "I sup
pose that the seven wounds that I got
at Areola and at Lodi and at Austerlitz
and at Frledland go for nothing, eh?
My eleven campaigns In Italy, in
Egypt, In Austria, in Prussia and In
Poland you don't count, I suppose?"
I "Tut, tut, tut!" exclaimod the cmper
' or. "How you do get excited when you

"We will ascend to the top of St

we passed the corner of Broadway and

tank of salt water pumped In from the
bay; the hippopotamus, the tropical
fish, Commodore Nutt, known as the
$30,000 Nutt; the two dromlos; the
lightning calculator who could add a
square of figures at a glance, and whs
became a Methodist minister; the fat
boy; Anna Swan, the Nova Scotia
giantess; the tallest man In the world;
the fat woman; Pashasharend, "the
what Is It," no one knowing whether It
was a man or a monkey; the boa con
strictor, seen Inside a large glass case;
the cherry colored cat; the happy fam
ily, a collection of cats, rats, adders,
rabbits, parrots, birds, etc., all In one
cage; also two vast alligators, the liv
ing skeleton, the baby mite that
weighed only three pounds, the fish
with legs, the FIJI mermaid, the
giraffe, the rhinoceros, with the tropi
cal birds, parrots, cockatoos, mocking
birds, humming birds, vultures and
eagle, and the well remembered dog
and baby shows.
Then there were the wax figures of
pirates and murderers, Franklin
Pierce, Patrick Henry, General Wash
lugtou, James Buchanan, General Mar
lon, General Lafayette, James Madi
son, Governor Morris, Pilnce Imperial
of France, Mme. Roland, Moll Pitcher,
Nathan Ilale, Poor Richard, Daniel
Lambert, the Veiled Murderess, etc.
In many of the plays thrilling scenes
were produced, as in"The Storm at
Sea," where a vessel was struck by
lightning and the crew rescued by be
ing drawn by a rope up a rocky sum
mit and the army ascending through
the narrow defiles of the Swiss Alps.
The museum was burned on the aft
ernoon of July 13, 1865. The fire, it
was thought, originated In the engine
room, it being necessary to keep up
steam to pump fresh air into the wa
ter of the aquaria and to propel the
fans that kept the heated halls cool.
The flames began In the manager's
office and extended to all parts of the
building. The manager showed great
presence of mind by depositing several
thousand* of dollars In a safe before
he escaped from the building. Fully
40,000 persons witnessed the fire, who
saw the tall woman lowered by means
of ropes to the sidewalk and heard the
shrieks of animals In the menagerie
and tlie growls of the Bengal tiger.
The lion and his mate, who had es
caped from their cage, were seen walk
ing along the fioor and an encounter
beneath the roof between the eagle
and a serpent, when the victorious ea
gle bore off his enemy In his talons
amid loud cheers. The polar bear,
escaping from the building, walked
through the street* to the custom
house, where, ascending to the bal
cony, he fell and broke his neck. Oth
er animals, jumping from the win
dows, caused the crowd to stampede,
when some lost their hats, others had
their coats torn, and many became
awfully disfigured by falling In the
mud. The remains of the two whales,
the kangaroo and crocodile were found
in the ruins. Tl.e loss of no other
building In the city could have caused
so much excitement and regret as Bar
num's museum.—Brooklyu Citizen.
CAPTAIN KIDD.
The Career and the Gndlnff of
FamouM Pirate.
Captain Kldd, the famous pirate,
started his career with the Intention of
suppressing piracy. In February, 169T,
ho left the Hudson in the Adventure
Galley with a crew of 150 men with
this intention. This expedition had been
equipped chiefly at tlie expense of the
Whig ministers, and its commander
carried with him, "besides the ordinary
letters of marque, a commission under
the great seal empowering him to seize
pirates and to take them to some place
where they might be dealt with ac
cording to law."
The king's right to the goods found
In possession of these malefactors was
granted by letters patent to the sup
porters of the expedition, his majesty
securing only one-tenth of the spoil.
Kldd, however, soon finding that little
was to be gained by the adventure,
threw off all disguise and hoisted the
Jolly Roger.
Ills rapacity and cruelty were un
bounded, and In less than two years ho
amassed the sum of £200,000. With
this he thought to make his peace with
the authorities and end his days In lux
ury, but he was arrested at New York
and brought to England, where he was
tried and hanged at Execution dock in
1701.—London Saturday Revlow.
Too Rich a Haul.
When General Trepoff was chief of
police In Moscow, before the estab
lishment of the state liquor monopoly,
he was told from the highest quarter*
to suppress the orgies at popular re
sorts In the town. A few days later
the police raided the principal restau
rants after midnight, and the next
morning General Trepoff asked of his
august master directions for the pros
ecution of one member of the imperial
family, two Judges of the high court, a
mayor and deputy mayor, several gen
erals and mnny women well known In
Moscow society, who, among others,
had been arrested in the raid. The
matter ended there.
