THAT WIFE OF MINE.
Are yon'sick ?' It was the soft voice
of a
. young girl asked this, and as I
heard the words( Lilt in a arelm, I
opened my heavy eyes; and looked up
to what seemed for a mpmett a glimpse
of paradisc. There were the dark green
leaves of the low bashes, among which
I dimly remembered dragging myself,
tired and faint, it seemed 'a year ago,
and there, thrown upon their dark back
ground, a girl's face with soft, sunny
hair, and great earnest eyes. 'Was she
handsome you ask. No, I suppose
not. I don't think there wile 4. single
regnlar feature in her whole face. still
it always seemed lovely to me, and that
morning, as looked up at it, her face
was as au angel's.
I was as nearly worn out as man could
well be, and everything looked black
cud dreary'cuough, even in that bright
summer time.
I was only a tramp then—not a rag
ged, dirty tramp, such as you drove out
of your yard yesterday, perhaps, but a
tramp nevertheless,' and a kind word
and a pitying face were now .strange
things to me. I had been what, thank
God, lam to-day; a lawyer with—for a
young man—a good practice back in
my eastern home, but a love for drink—
yet not altogether drink, but with it a
reckless expenditure of money, of run
ning into debt—had brought me down.
I remember the day that, the final
crash came, and how hard I . tried to
avert it, not waking to a realization of
in situation until it was too late. It
seemed to me impossible that 1,. always
so favored, should be, could be, penni
less, and if not absolutely a beggar, still
in a beggar's friendless position. Un
able to remain where I was known, for
fear of my creditors, I struck off into
new regions, and begged—yes, that's
the word--begged for work, any honest
work and begged for it in vain. I did
get odd jobs, here and there, but noth
ing Tsting, only just enough for me to
live along- from hand to mouth—and
sometimes it was poorly enough. even
at that.
The night before, with a lever burn
ing in my veins, I had left Ridgefield--
Icft nithout supper or money—and all
Ole long, night had trudged onward,
down the great, -white country road.
Sick, with the hot fever coursing
through my veins 'and parching my
tongue; faint with hunger, footsore and
weary from Jong travel; disheartened,
and caring but little whether I lived or
died, just as the sun came up I sank
into the low, cool-looking leashes by
the roadside, and lost all consciousness.
'Are you sick, sir ?'
The question.was repeated with even
more earnestness than before.
'I fear I am,' I said, pressing my hand
to my throbbing temples to still the
pain.
'Where are yoUr friends, poor man ?'
There, was; a look •of pity in those
great, earnest eyes, that, if 1 should
live forevir. I could not furget.
'Friend; I echoed; the word sound
ed alruut‘t like mdckery to me. 'Did
you ever know such men as I to have
friends ?'
• 'Why, what have you doue—are - you
•
erimiull?'
'A criminal 2. Yes, of the worst kind,
so people seem to think. I am 'guilty'
of being poor.'
'Oh, is that all." What a relief there
was in her voice; sick as I was I notic
ed it. 'We are poor; too; mother and
I; but still - we 'have friends, and will
never leave any one sick at our door
without help. Can you walk at all,
sir ?'
will see,' , I said, fanffli; and 3n:
spired by a new courage, Niith a hold on
the thick bushes, I rnanaged to gain my
feet and staggered, rather than walked,
out into the road; but when at last I
got once more into the sunlight the old
dizzy faintness came over me, and in a
sw•oon'.l fell for Ward in the.dirst.
For days following I : was leouseions
of nothing but pain=a thriabbing and
aching of the head, a feeling through
out the body of hunger And suffering.
I had closed my beavy eyes in the heat
and dust, and even as I lay there, day
after tiny, I seemdd to be breathing the
same dusty air, suffering with hunger,
burning with. the, fever, and without
water to quench my. thirst. When
last I Opened_theni I saw a cool, white
curtain swaying to and fro, before an
open window, and now and then I could
feel a breath of fresh air upon my cheek,
and out beyond I could see, where the
curtain was caught up, raindrops drop
ping and glistening among the leaves.
I felt as-if-in fairyland I handled the
clean, white coverlet laid over me, and
I looked about at the few, cheap pictures
told the neat, simple sweetness of the
room
'Where auc L?' Unconsciously I
spoke in my surprise and wonder, aloud.
'A curtain hanging at the head of the
bed was suddenly! lifted, which gave rat
a slight glimpse of another. ream, neat
as my own. A young girlentered and
quickly came forward to the side of my
bed. It was die face of my strange
friend by the roadside, her gunny lair
and earnest eyes ha.d been with me,: as
something intangible, misty as a pleas
ant dream, mitt through my siekness, and
I remembered it now—the promised aid
and swooning in the dust.
'So you are at last awake,' she said,
laying her cool,. moist hands on my
temples—`awake, and the fever all gone.
You must feel , much better.'
I could only look 'Yes' withniy eyes.
'Now, I don't want you to talk. You
are my patient, and you must mind
me.'
• 'But where am I ?'
In spite Of all orders I must ask tha
question, -- : for. fear the vision migh
fade.' r.•
'You're s - ide . enough in our bciUse—
mother's and mine. I told you we
were pooi, but you would faint fright
before our door." •:-
'l'm yery'sorry,'l said, penitently.
'Hum ! 'That dan't help. Do you
know how sick you've : been ?'
I.protested my entire iktiorance.
'Well, you've had a !fever, and been
wild sometimes,' slie iaformed me.
'But now lie still until I get you some
thing to eat.' ,
As she said this she got up from the
little rocking-chair in which she bad
, been sitting.
'No, don't go !' I caught her by the
tacvc. don't want anything to eat,
and I do want you!'
She - sat down again witli a little
laugh.
,'Utri afraid you don't know just what
yOu do Want,' }le said, pleasantly.
!•Yes I flu; I wan't you. Yon won't
go will yon?' My voiee sounded= very
utait,us in it's wt:3ltheth.
'Not without mother calls me. Now 1
go to sleep.'
She settled the white covert about
me very carefully.
9Siow did you get me tiere - ?' s . I ask
ed, presently.
.014 one of the station men helped
me and you were terribly leavy, if you
hadn't anything to eat.'
I lay back on my pillow, and watched
her sitting there in the stillness of the
room. - It was a picture sweet enough
for any man—more than that to me, for
I had scarcely spoken to a woman for a
long year. excepting to receive harsh
- answers.
The sun that came streaming into
the open window, piercing here and
there the network of vines, went slowly
down, casting long shadows acrdss the
floor, and I fell asleep.
How those two women did watch
over and cared for me during the days
that followed—days in which I got bet
ter very slowly—the old gray-headed,
matronly mother and th 6 little girl !
What delightful, dainty little 'milli)
they'cooked me with their own hands I

changing emotions of her face.
'You have; told me everything but
your name,' she -aid, when I finished.
'That is simple enough,' I replied. I
Was , sitting up now; in the great, old

'Floience :O'Neil. My father was
killed on the railroad several years ago,
and the company, gave us, this little
house, - and we watch•to 'flag' the trains
if the bridge should not be safe; the
water in the river rises very high some-
She said it all very simply. as if such,
a life was old and common enough to
her.
•The daughter Of a railroad laborer,
and I loved her--and I was only a tramp!
'Not very elevated,' you think. Per
haj not in `the social scale, but our
hearts might be.!iis true, our love 414
great. .. •
Iu the days which followed, and tin
der their tender cares, I grew rapidly
better, until at last I could frame p
excuse for remaining longer. But noth
ing could now tear me away from the
girl who hail saved my life—whom, I
knew but too well I loved.
I never said one word of love to Ler,
for. I. was only a tramp, and my love was
too honest, too sincere, to give its ob
ject needless pain.
Deep iu my heart I had resolved to
work up to something more worthy of
her, more worthy of myself; But,
nteauwhile, I could not altogether leave
Ler, and, finally, through their influ

Lad work&l with O'Neil before he was
killed, I received a position. It was
only that of a brakeman upon the night

everything to me. It was the first
chance the world had given me. h. - I:vas
my first step - upward,' and I relieve I
was prouder in that brakeman's cap
thin ever I was in my ,first gold - and
black law sign in the old days of ivy
profligacy and my profession.
I ran on the road—it was the P. D. &
G.—for nearly two mouths, making
every night the trip between Platts.
mouth and Delaver,rain or shine.
Now and then of a Sunday. I would
go down to the little cottage •of the
O'Neils, and thus spend • many a pleas
ant afternoon in talking over the events
Of my sickness with the mother, or
wandering down by the river. with
Florence, my little love. I began to
dream that she loved me, and it made
me a better man.
One night, I think it was of a Wed
nesday, we made up our train, 'an un
usual large one, and, left Plattstnouth
just before dark. It had been storm
ing hard for two days, and it bid fair
to be a dark, tempestuous night. A
special freight train ,left an hour ahead
of us, which we were to pass at Somer
set. -
Tile night, as it giew later, proikd to
be one of the roughest I had ever :ex
perienced; the wind blew a perfect hur
ricane from the north - , the glare of the
lightning was incessant, and the heavy
peals of thunder rolled along the whOle
-Sky.
'Watch sharp for a red light at
'Bridge No. 2,' I beard the train master
say to the engineer of the freight as his
heavy train pilled ouebf the yard.
'Bridge No. 2' was the one close by
O'Neilsi--the long one over the river was
just this side, and known as 'No. l'--
their little cottage was nestled in the
thick woods between the two.
Just how it happened I suppose no
ono exactly knows, but it seemed that
'Bridge No. 2' had been swept away by
the fury of the storm, .and the red lan
tern, safely placed by;careful hands to
stop the advancing train, bad gone out
iu the terrific gale. The heavy freight,
propelled down the steep grade between
the two bridges by its own 'weight,
rushed with ' a scream by the little cot
tage and took the terrible plunge into
the air, down fifty feet to the rocks be-
When I saw it, early the following
morning, the wreck was complete, with
the dead, mangled bodies of the train
men wedged into the water and crush
ed bows by the heavy timbers.
'And your train ?' you ask.
'Well, I'll tell you about that as it
was told to me. •
Florence and her mother, were abo ut '
retiring to rest, believing the lantern to
be safely burning, when they heard the
shrill whistle of the freight, and .a mo
ment later the fearful crash. , P,'ealiz 7
inik in a moment what had hapiiened,.
Florence grasped a lantern, and amid
the hurricane of wind, the deluge of
Water, the incessant glare of the , light
ning, and peal upon' peal of thunder,
left the cottage and started fpr the
wreck.
Her light soon went out in the wind,
,but she bravely felt her :way through
the woods arid falling timbers
. to the
very edge Of the rushing waters that
covered the crushed and drowned men.
She Could hear no sound to tell her
that any one yet liVed to relate the
story of that horrible leap to death.
She knew that the long night express,'
with its load of passengers, was nearly
due, andnone to warn them of their
danger; a lantern would nOt born in
the increased fury of the gale.
The telegraph, office
.at Somerset or
Midland was Abe only place where the
officers could i be notified and the catas
trophe averted. • To Somerset` wasfive
'mites, over hitlatind through the, woods,
and long before she could reach there
it be too late—the express l would have
gone down. Matland wa s only a mile,
but between her and Illatland was the
river, ten or fifteen feet above its na
tural height; and to pass this she must
cross over Bridge No. 1, fifty feet above
the roaring, - rushing water.
She must cross tliie bridge four
hundred feet long, with nothing but
the ties and rails for suppOrt, the wind
blowing a gale, and thC fOaming, seeth
, ing, muddy waters belol Not ono
man in a thousand but would have
shiunk from such a task; not, one man
in five hundred would hnire gone over
at any, price or' under tiny considera
tions. •
But my brave, noble girl, with the
nerve of a giant,fnever hesitated, never
stopped to fear Gathering up her
flowing skirts, and on haUds and knees,
she crawled eN.er the long biidge.'
Slowly, tie after' lie was passed. It was
already time for;bur train to come dash
ing over the bridge and hurl her down
to death amid the daik and muddy
water of the rushing river. The blood
from the lacerated Anees had stained
her dress, but she does not falter; her
long hair is blown out from her net by
the fury of the wind, but she must' no
stop.
At last she reached, the shore, and al
most fiew•up the trick to the office,
where our train was just --ready to start.
Breathless and in broktJn accents she
told her sad, fearful tale; and then, faint
and weak from her excitement, fell
back into my eager, waiting arms.
Half unconscious, I carried her into
the dry,.warm office, and as I put her
down, her great, earnest eyes opened
wearily for a moment to, meet mine and
read the love in them, , and her ' white
lips smiled.
! 'Yon- are saved 1' she imurmured very
low. 'Oh, George, I never could have
done it but I knew it Was your train,"
and-I clasped the , brave little heroine
close in my, wet arms, 'never more,
please prod, to.let her go.
The sun of the next , morning, as it s
came up clear and bright, glistening on
the raindrops and peeping over into the
rocky chakm, where the wreck arid the
dead men lay, seemed like the sun of
my new life, rising to look down in
pity upon the wreck and rain of my
past..
.s)* am I.now ?' did you ask.
The little cottage on the hill yonder
is mine, and I am back iu my old pro
fession, working hard to keep my. posi
tion, but happy as,l never dreamed to
be, and_l owe it all to-that brave little
wife of mine.
