Arthur's excitement over the finding of the five-dollar bill was fully shared by Uncle Thin, though in the old man it assumed a greater and more reverent form, 110 said; '"Do good Lawd seen de fix we was in, honey, an' he sen' dis yeah in place ob de raben for our suppah. Dat's what we'so wantin' do worstes, an' dat's what we orter bo gittin' de fustes ting." To this the boy fully agreed. Even Rusty seemed to comprehend that his little master's fortunes taken a turn for the better, and as they started up the street in search of a place whore they mipbt obtain food, he danced about them barking joyously. Boforo long they discovered a very small and humble bake shop, kept by a colored aunty who looked almost as old as Uncle Phin, but who was as stout as he was lean, and whose head was cov ered by a gaudy madras kerchief of vivid reds and yellows. She was not expecting any custom ers this stormy evening, and at first regarded the new-comers with sus picion, evidently fearing that they were About to appeal to her for charity. This, A SMALL AND lIt'MSLK UAKK-SUOl' KEPT BT A COLORED AfXTIE. by the way, as they afterward learned, was her name, "Aunt Charity." Sho was, however, reassured by the sight of the five-dollar bill in Uncle Phin's hand, by the old man's extremo politeness, and by Arthur's hone.t blue eyes. In spito of his clothes being rain-soaked and mud-stained, he was so evidently a little gentleman that she involuntarily dropped him a courtesy when, in win ning tones, ho said: "Please, ma'am, get us something ta e&t. Wo are nearly starved, but we have tho money to pay for it, and 1 think wo would liko to have a good deal of most every thing you have." "To be suttinly, sah: To bo suttinly, my pore You shall hab de bes' Aunt Charity kin skeer up, dreckly," answered tho old woman, dropping her courtesy, and gazing oom passionately at the little follow. "Ef youM liko to dry yo'se'fs while Pse or gittin' somfln ready, yo'se wclkum to stop inter do kitchum, an' get by do fire, Miste —" Here sho paused and looked at Uncle Phin, as though waiting for him to complete her sentence by introducing himself. "Phin Dale, ob Dalecourt, Virginny," said tho old man, promptly add ing: "An' dls my lil marse, Arthur ©alo Dustin. Wo is a-trabblln'to his gran'paw's, and is to take de kyars fo' Dalecourt soon as we is eaten our sup pah." A.S Annt Charity had also spent tho earlier days of her life in Virginia, a bond of sympathy was at onco estab lished between them, and she bustled about with surprising agility for ono of her size to make the travelers comfort able. Sho had Intended supplying their wants from tho counter and well-filled shelves of her little shop, but after they wero comfortably seated in the friendly warmth of tho kitchen stove she decided to mako a pot of tea and then to fry a rasher of bacon with some eggs. Nor did sho neglect their im mediate wants while preparing theso things. Hunger was so plainly stamped on their faces that it would have been cruel to keep tbeiu waiting a single Bahiute before beginning to satisfy it. So sho gavo (hem each a big shiny topped bun with currants in it, and when sho saw Arthur breaking oif a piece of his for Rusty she immediately got another for the hungry little dog. What a pleasant contrast this cheer ful, low-ceiled kitchen, with its glowing stove, presented to the cold, and wet, and darkness of tho Streets through which they were wan dering so hopelessly but a few minutes boforo. llow thoroughly Arthur and Uncle l'hln appreciated its comforts, and what glances, expressive of grati tude and eomploto satisfaction, they ex changed as they sat on opposite sides of tho stove, well back so as not to interfere with tho ponderous but bustling move- aients of the mistress of the establish ment. In the darkest corner of the room was I high, calico-curtained bedstead, from beneath which projected one end of a low trundle-bed. In thiscould justbe dis tinguished two littlo woolly heads, from which two pairs of wide-open black eyes (fazed wonderingly at tho strangers and the busy scene about the stove. When Undo Phin inquired, with an air of well-feigned interest, if thoso wore her children, Aunt Charity paused In her work for a moment, and, standing with arms akimbo, regarded them with prcat complacency, as sho answered: "No, Mista Phin Dale, dey's not my swnly chillun; but dey's my gran'- ;hillun, onco remobed. You seo, deir aiaw, she my ole man's fustes wife's gal, by her fustes husban. So when dey kum to be twins an' orfuns at do samo time, I wuz deir nex' ob kin, an dey nacherly fell to my sheer ob de estate. Now, I'se gwlne gib 'em a edlcashun. an' train 'em up for do whitewash an' kalsermino biz ness." Warm and dry, strengthened and re freshed by their supper, of which little Rusty had eaten his full share and would now have greatly preferred lying under the stove to going out in the Btormy night, our travelers again set forth on their journey. Had Aunt Char ity's mite of a house afforded a spare room, sho would have invited them to occupy it until morning; but it did not, md she had no place to offer them. Then, too, Uncle Thin was most anxious to start on at once, now that they had money, in hopes that it would last until they reached their journey's end. So interested had Aunt Charity become in '.he little chap who was so bravely seek ing a distant home, in plaeo of the one ft-here he had been cruelly and unjustly treated—for Undo I'hin had told her She whole of Arthur's history—that she it first refused to receive any pay for their supper. Both Arthur and Uncle Phin insisted so strongly that sho should, however, that at length sho sonsented to take twenty-Jive vents but no more. Sho also forced into l nele Phin's hands a paper bag full of rolls «nd cakes for Arthur just as they left, and she stood in the door-way watching them until they wero lost to sight In the dimly-lighted street Aunt Charity had given them direc tions for reaching the railway station, so that they had no trouble in finding it. Here they were greatly bewildered by tho hurrying throngs of people, the great trucks of baggage that were being trundled up and down the platform, the puffing and snorting of engines and the dazzling white light of the electric lamps. At length Uncle Phin ventured to address a man in a cap and blue coat, whom he took to be one of the railway officials. "Please, sah," said the old man, bow ing humbly and polling at the brim of his tattered hat. "which ob de kyars 1s er gwino ter Firginny?" "Which way are you bound?" asked the official, sharply. "East or West?" Uncle Phin did not know. "Let me see your tickets?" Uncle Phin had none. "De man hain't passen ob 'em down yet," he said. "Are you going to Richmond, Vir ginia?" "Near by dar, sah. Clus onto It," cried the old man, eagerly, delighted at hearing the familiar name. "Well, then, you want to take tho first through train going East, and it won't bo along until midnight." With that the busy railroad man hur ried on, leaving our friends gazing at each other in dismay. Midnight: and now it was only seven o'clock. What should they do and where should they go to pass thoso five hours? They did not dare go very far from tho railway station, and so thoy wandered aimlessly about in the darkness near it, growing more weary, more wet, cold and uncom fortable with each moment. At length they paused before an empty froight car, ono door of which was partly open. Why not seek shelter from tho storm in it? Nobody saw thorn as they climbed into the car which they found to be "WHICII Oil I>E K YAKS i; EB QWISI TBB FEUGIXXY?" half filled with sacks of corn-meal. On thoso they made themselves quite com fortable, and hero they decided to wait patiently until tho lighted clock on a tower abovo tho station, which they could sec from the car door, should tell thorn that it was nearly midnight. Of course thoy hod no idea of going to sleep. That would never do; for they must watch tho clock. How slowly its bands crept round. Arthur resolutely turned his eyes away from it, deter mined not to look again for at least half an hour. When satisflod that that length of time had elapsed, ho glanced at Its round, yellow face, only to find that barely five minutes had passed. He spoke of this to Uncle Phin; but re ceived no answer. Tho old man was fast asleep. "Poor Uncle Phin!" said tho brave littlo fellow. "Ho must bo very tired, and I won't wake him till it's time to go." So the boy watched the lighted clock until it looked like a moon, and then he rubbed bis eyes to make sure that it was not winking and laughing at hlra. And then —and then ho too was fast asleep, with one arm thrown about Rusty's neck, and tho only sounds to bo heard wero tho patter of rain on tho roof of tho motionless freight car, and tho regular breathing of its three tired occupants. An hour later two men, carrying lan terns and wearing rubber coats that glistened with the wet, came along and paused tho freight car. Ono of them consulted a way bill. "Yes, this Is it," he said; "No. SOI, corn meal for Harrisburg. Six sacks to bo left at Arden. That's all right. Shut her up, Joe. It was mighty careless of thoso fellows to leave tho door open." Here Joo pushed tho door to with a slam. It fastened with a spring lock, and tho men with tho lanterns walked away to lock up tho rest of their train. A littlo later an engine came rolling softly along the wet track to where the car stood. There was a bump, a rattle of coupling pins and .links, a swinging of lanterns, and tho car was drawn away, past tho multitude of littlo red, and green, and yellow lights twinkling through tho rain and darkness liko big fire-flics and marking tho switches. Tho car was hauled and pushed hither and thither, and others were attached to it, until at length a long train was mado up. Tho great locomotive panted, eager to bo off, and Its hot breath mado littlo clouds of fleecy steam that wero edged with flarne by tho glow from its open-mouthed furnace. Tho brakemon were at their posts on tho slippery tops of the cars; the caboose at tho rear end of tho train looked warm and comfort able. Two red lights, shining like angry oyes, were hung in position on its sides near tho rear end,and freight train No. 15 was in readiness for a start. Tho conductor came from tho train dispatcher's office with a thin sheet of yellow papor, on which wero written his orders, In bis hand.. "No tramps on board to-night, aro there, Joe?" ho said to his head brako man. "No, sir, not a sigu of one. I've looked carefully everywhere. It's too wet for 'em to travel, I reckon." "All right. Let her go." Then the conductor swung his gleam ing lantern, tho engine-driver pulled the throttle, and freight No. 15 moved slowly out into the darkness. Its first stop was at Arden, where it was to side track and await tho passing of the New York limited. Here, too, were to be left six sacks of meal. As lirakeman Joe unlocked and pushed open the door of tho car No. -01, and the light of his lantern Hashed into its dark interior, it fell upon something that caused him to start and exclaim: "Great Scott! Tho tramps are travel ing after all, and hero they are. A dog, Wv! Well, If that isn't Qvldcliecji!" Brakcman J His regular work wa^rcMlH^Hl goodness knows; and when, in addition to it. ho had to make a thorough mrul nation of the whole train at every stop ping place. pet-ring by the light of hi* lantern between and underneath the -»ra for tramps who might be stealing a ride, he felt that he had good rau«-- t < dis like them. Sometimes ho ha«l hard tussles before dislodging them from their perches and roost*, and many an cgly blow had he received while per forming this duty. He had therefore learned to deal rery promptly, not to say roughly, with this portion of the traveling public whenever he found them on or in the ears under his charge. On this particular night he had made sure as he thought before starting that there was not a tramp on the train, and had in consequenoe lw>i n anticipating a comparatively easy trip And here was a whole nest of them snugly stowed away in car No. 201. A dojr, too! It was aggravating. and, under the circum stances, it is not to be wondered at that he hustled them out without much re gard to their feelings. Both Arthur and Undo Phin had been suddenly awakened, ami greatly alarmed, when Rrakeman Joe first slammed and locked the door of the car in which they had taken refuge from the storm. They had a confused idea that they had been asleep, though for how long they could not tell, and now they could no longer see the lighted clock above the railway station. It m ight even be midnight and time for their train to come along, for all they knew. They shouted and kicked against the locked door, and Rusty barked; but all in vain. The conductor and Brtkeman Joe had walked away before these noises began, and there wm no one else to hear them. Then the engine came and pushed and pulled the ear about, until they had not tho slightest idea ot the direction in which they were moving. It might be for ward or backward, cast or west, for all they could tell. Nor was their situation improved when the train, of which car No. 201 finally formed a partj .lied outof the railway yard, and started on Its long journey. They had no idea which way it was going, and Arthur cotild have cried as he reflected that they might be traveling in exactly tho opposite direc tion from that they wished to take, and might be carried hundreds of miles be fore their car door was again unlocked. As he could not do this, because he was a Dale, bo only bugged little Rusty, and tried to be comforted by Uncle Phin's assurances: "Dat dc good Lawd was er gwine ter keer fer Jem, jes' like He did fer de sparrcrs, whoso hairs was all counted so as dey shoaldn' fall to de jrroun'.'*- Arthur's unhapplness was inerea-sed b r the fact that he could nowhere feel his precious book. It had slippel from his grasp as he slept, snd now was no where to be found. Thus the first stage of their Journey by rail wxs a tnoet un happy one, and they were glad to forget their sorrows in the sleep that again overcame them, a few minutes before the train made its first stop. The Arden station was a very small one, in a lonely place, with no houses near it. It was only a platform with a freight shed at one end. and a marc for lorn place for a stranger to be left on a dark, stormy night could hardly be im agined. Arthur and Uncle Thin were not conscious of the train stopping here, and wero only awakened from their troubled sleep by the light from i'.rake- tnan .Toe's lantern flashln;.' In t! ir fa- -*S. They were just sitting uj> ur. i pazing at him, in a bewildered •• »v. wh<*n this enorgettic young man bustled thetn out of the car in his roughest mariner. It was so rough, in fact, that poor T'ncle I'bln, Impelled by a violsnt push, slipped on the wet platform and fell heavily. He struck one of his knees such a fearful blow that, for a few moments, he was unable to rise, and lay there groaning. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself to treat an old man so?" cried Arthur to lirakeman Joe, as with flashing eye* and quivering llp« he sprang to his com panion's side and endeavored to raiso him to his feet "Well, what business has tho old tramp got to be stealing a ride on my train?" replied the brakeman, sulkily, though at the same time bending orer Uncle Phin and helping him up. He was not a bad-hearted young man, this lirakeman Joe; but only over worked and much bothered by tramps. On the contrary, he was go>xl-natiired. and especially kind and gentle with old people, for ho had an old father at home of whom he was the •ole support, and to whom he was devoted. Ho had not noticed, in the dim light, that Uncle I'hln was old and white-headed. Ho trad only regarded him as a tramp, who, as everybody knows, is generally young and strong and well able to perform the labor that ho refuses to undertake oat sheer laziness. So now he help«-d the prostrate figure to ite feet, said he h'>j*«l the old fellow was not much hurt, and then returned to his task of dragging the six sacks of meal, that were to be left at Ardeo, from the car. "What's the matter here. Joe?" a«k*d the conductor of the train, stepping up at this moment. "Only a couple of stowaways that I found stealing a rido in this i-ar," was the answer. "Tramps, eh?" said the conductor, sharply, flashing the ltght from his lantern lipon the two trembling flgur* s who stood before him. "A dog. too," he rt>ntinued, "and I'll warrant they stole it. I've a mind to take it in payment for their ride. If this was a town I'd have you fellows ar rested and locked up In less than no •'AREN'T vol' .VBHAMKD To TREAT AX OLD MAN SO?" CRIED AHTHVB tIme. You and all your kind ought to be killed off for the good of country. As it is. I'll leave you here to soak in the rain for the rest of the night, and per haps some of the worthlessness will be washed out of you by morning. Hello' What's this?" Here the conductor stooped and picked up a small object over which lirakeman Joe had stumbled, and which he had sent flying out on to the platform. It was s book, and the couductul picked it up. wondering where it could have come from. "Andersen's Fairy Tales," he read aloud. holding it up tc bis lantern. "The very book my little Kitty was asking m«- to get for her only the other day! Well, if this isn't a rind: Then turning to the fly leaf he r< ad aloud: "To l'rince Dusty from m Here he was interrupted by Arthur, who sprang forward, and. stretching out his hand for the l>ook. cried: "I*lfa-.< . sir, it's mine, and I should f«'cl dreadful ly to lose it, and we aren't tramps, and didn't mean to steal a ride.
