gun to acc ntaatc the stoop in a rather
nngainly iiair of shoulders, whose attire
is not and has Diver been, I trust,
more than decently ecclesiastical in ent
and ensemble.
Xniii the L:-s. sincerity comjiels the
admission that in traveling 1 am not
inficq u utly taken for a Ilomish priest,
and that even here in my own little
parish of Carbonoro the coal miners call
me Father I'en barton. It was this ab
surd misc'nception, heightened, po*.-ii
bly, by the fact that 1 was rending a
small black bound hook which may have
b n mistaken for a breviary, that led
to my entanglement in a romantic affair
on the railway -an entanglement which
lias since cost me many disquieting mo
ments. Not that I hold myself in any
way accountable or blameworthy, be it
understood, but merely becanse it has
given my clerical associates a fresh oc
casion for other of their ill chosen and
meaningless gibes.
The beginning of it wgs in this wise.
I had been on a visit to the bishop and
had boarded the train to return to my
parish. Having taken a seat in tJie
Pullman, I was reading the small black
bound book —which, I beg to protest,
was not a breviary—when two young
persons entered the car and established
themselves in the section nest to my
own. At their incoming I fancied they
were the inevitable newly married con
pie whose presence seems nowadays to
be a necessary, complement to the pas
senger list of any publie conveyance.
The young man was a clerk of some
sort, one would say, and his face was
vaguely familiar. It was clean cut,
smooth shaven and of the alert type
which marks the younger men of busi
ness in this progress ridden region. The
young woman was petue and distinc
tively handsome. Her face was a most
agreeable study in youthful beauty,
and her flashing brown eyes, alight
w'itli repressed excitement, had a look
in them which carried me swiftly back
to my—-but pardon me, this is not the
story of my own youthful follies.
I perceived at once that the two were
laboring under some stress of emotion
which I took to be very natural embar
rassment, and as they sat facing me 1
thought to relievo them in some measure
by Ut king the opposite eeat with 1115
hack toward them. I desire to empha
size tliisi point beeausp one of uiy fxl>
Jeasjjocs I* uncharitable enough to insiii*
ufttu that the chamge was made in order
that their -conversation might be the
better overheard, a charge which I wish
to repel with proper scorn. That theii
talk was overheard is a matter of no
moment. livery right minded person
will agree with me that motives and
not incidents are the cosmic principles
underlying any code of ethics.
"Great Jehoasb! You say he did
come lioiue to dinner, after all?"
The speaker was the young man, and
there was a very emphatic note of un
easiness in his voice.
"Yes, he did," answered the young
womaiv "Aud that isn't all. I'm al
most snre he suspected something."
"You are? Why? What makes you
think so?"
"The way he acted. He was as short
as pie crnjit ajl through dinner, and
when I left the table he asked if you
had called; said he had seen you in the
carriage driving down Alameda street. "
The young man groaned quite audi
bly. "Of course he did! That idiotic
driver turned out for a furniture van
just as we were meeting him and drove
up to the very curb. I made myself as
small as I could, but he couldn't help
seeing me. What did you tell him?"
"Isaid: 'Why, poppa—Mr. Roderick!
After you'vo forbidden him the
house?' "
The young man chuckled as if the
sinful equivocation were applausive
rather than a thing to tie sorrowfully
deprecated.
"Good! What did be say to that?"
"He was angry—as he always is
when your name is mentioned. He said
you were enough to do
anything. Then lie asked me if I could
be ready to start for Aunt Josephine's
tomorrow."
"And you told him you could?"
"I did just that, bnt I didn't tell him
I would. Oh, why doesn't tlio train
start ?"
I heard the click of the young man's
watch case.
"Chiefly because it isn't time. We
have five minutes yet."
"Oh!" The exclamation was almost a
sqb. "If he catches the 1 o'clock car
down town, he can overtake us here,
can't he?"
The watch case clicked again.
"He might, but it's unlikely. The
car is due at the corner just at our leav
ing time, and he would have a block to
walk—-or rnn. But I was thinking of
something else. If he has his wits with
liini we shan't lie safe till we pass the
yard limits."
"The yard limits? I don't under
stand- "
"We have to stop to register at the
limits. If he just misses us here, he can
take a carriage, run the legs off the
horses and intercept us nt the yard sta
tion. It can be done. I've done it my
self more than once with a belated pas
senger. ''
"Oh, horrors! Alan, if you let me be
taken back now, I'll never speak to you
again as long as I live!"
"You needn't threaten me. It won't
be my fault if we're captured. I'm not
on* more anxious to meet your father
just now than you are," asserted the
young man. earnestly.
Then silence supervened, and ! had
leisure to construct the accusation. It
was a wedding party, indeed, but a
priori—an elopement, in short. This
Bweet faced young woman with the re
mindful eyes was taking her future in
her hand to give it over into the keep
ing of a young man whose consent to
a proceeding was his sufficient con
demnation. I pictured to myself the
distress of the father, whose wishes
had been so unfilially disregarded, lie
was doubteaa a kind and indulgent par
ent —are not all modern parents culpa
bly so?—and his objections to tho alert
young man were probably well rooted
in g<HHI judgment and common sense.
Tlie name, Roderick, and the word
abont belated passengers, bridged the
gap in my memory, and I was able to
place the intending bridegroom. lie was
a young man employed by the railway
company in some capacity—l know not
what in the booking office. He it was

with difficulty hold my peace. Indeed,
it was borne in upon lue so forcibly that
I ought to expostulate with the young
raahlings that I was almnt to do go
when the train moved ont and carried
them so to speak, suddenly across their
Rubicon.
Having thn.; lost the opportunity for
hopeful interference. I may confess that
I awaited the turn of events with no
inconsiderable degree of curiosity.
Would the injured father have his
"wits with him," as the young ntan ijo
irreverently phrased it, and drive post
haste to intercept the train at the reg
istering station?
The day was warm and the car win
dows were open. When the shriek of
the airbrakes was uplifted and the speed
began to slacken, I looked out and np
the road leading down from the city.
Far away among the last scattering
houses of the snbnrb n earring.- drawn
by fast galloping horses came in sight.
At the same moment 1 heard the young
man say:
"This sun is fearfully hot, don't you
think so, Eleanor? Let me close your
window. "
The bang of the sash and the whir
of the shade followed quickly, and I di
vincd his intention. He, too, liad seen
the carriage.
Presently the train came to a stand
with the forward end of the Pullman
immediately opposite the platform of
the small registering station. From my
window I saw the conductor come out
and raise his hand to give the signal
for departure. In the very act he espied
the carriage with the galloping horses
and desisted. He was evidently going
to wait for the vehicle to come up.
For the next few moments the sus
pense was well nigli electrical. The
crucial anxiety of the two young peo
ple seemed to communicate itself in
some mysterious manner to the other
occupants of the car, and we all sat
breathless under the weight of a silence
which was surcharged with suppressed
excitement. When the drumming of
the horses' hoofs became faintly audi
ble. the young man could endure it no
longer. With a hasty "Excuse me a
moment" to his companion he left his
seat, and 1 craned my neck from the
window in time to see him join the
conductor on the platform.
"What are you waiting fear, Graffo?"
he demanded, with the air of one who
is made bold by the occasion.
The conductor jerked his thnmb over
his shoulder in the direction of the
chaise.
"Some drummer got left at the un
ion depot, I guess. Serve him right if
we didn't wait on him."
"Don't you fool yourself!" The
young man's manner of speech was dis
tressingly idiomatic, not to say vague,
rl'
"If you don't pull out Ixl ore he gets here,
I'm a dead man."
at times. "That's Mr. John Bostwick.
If you don't pull out before he gets
here, I'm a dead man. Do you save#?"
The conductor laughed, and rejoined
with what appeared to be intended for
rough pleasantry : "Oh, come off! What
are you giving me?"
I bad not noticed that the young
man had offered to give him anything,
but he ignored the inquiry and burst
out: "Facts, by Jove! Cold facts! I
tell you ray blood will be on your head
if you wait till that carriage gets here!"
"Pshaw! D'ye mean it, honest?
What yon been doing to the master
lieclianic? 'Nother one of your foot
prank.-i I bet you."
The chaise was in plain view by this
tirnn. and it presented the unusual spec
tacle of a square shouldered gentleman
with u fierce military mustache and a
very rod face leaning far out of the car
riage window and gesticulating violent
ly.. The young man saw, winced and
made answer of mingled plea and pro
test.
"Pranks nothing! It's business this
time, I tell you. Give Ike the signal,
quick, before it's too late. Miss Bcst
wick's mixed up in it, and"—
The conductor's hand shot above his
head and hung there fluttering like a
misshapen flag. There was an answer
ing clangor from the bell and a hissing
of steam and the wheels began to re
volve. The young scapegrace and his
new made confederate sprang aboard,
and I gave my attention to the oncom
ing carriage.
The cabman was certainly a most
reckless driver. Hi! lashed his horses
down the steep slope, and for a palpi
tant second a collision with the moving
train seemed inevitable. It was happily
averted at the critical instant by the
madcap son of Nimslii, who stood up
in his place and dragged the plunging
animals back upon their haunches by
main strength. Bnt the sudden cramp
ing gf the vehicle jammed it lietween
a coal car and the iron lever which
operates the switching mechanism,
blocking the doors as effectually as if
the obstructions had been placed with
malice aforethought.
sank back into my seat with
if sigh "Tingled regret and relief Hie
young man had rejoined hia companion,
who, thanks to the drawn shade and
wlosed window, bad apparently neither
seen ner heard aught of the exciting
episodr.
"Are we safe, Alan?" she queried,
her voice a-treuible with trepidation.
"Safe as a church. Didn't you see
him
"I saw nothing, bnt I thought I
heard some one shouting." Then, with
a gawp of sudden and dismayed Realiza
tion : "Oh, it's my father, and he'shnrt!
I know he is! Stop the train. Alan!
Stop it, lsay! I'm going back!"
"Oh, sit down! For pity's sake, sit
down. Eleanor. Don't you see every
body's catching on?" This in an ago
nized whisper. "He isn't hurt, I tell you.
Not at all. That was the driver you
heard yelling at his horses.
"Are you sure you're telling me the
truth

She w< nt silent at that, as what unnl

. a littl- she plucked up courage to ask
ahiiit the details. Her companion ex
j plained.
"Aft r I left you at the honse I went

"It's very dreadful, Alan," she mur

"That's so" cheerfully "there
i isn't any ideality to spare for a fact.
' But we can't help that. If we hadn't

"He said he would, and I'm afraid
1 lie inc..lit it. And yet he has always
i been very good to me, Alan, before—
! before this, you know."
••I know . bnt he meant business this
| time. Aud that isn't all. After I had
; my little s. ance with him this morning
—when I asked him outright if we
mightn't be married like other people
—he abused me like a sheep thief; said
he'd write to the general manager and
have me discharged, though lie didn't
mention upon what grounds he would
demand it."
"But how could he do that?"
"I give it up. There is nothing on
record against me, I believe, except
that I've had the audacity to fall in
love with yon after he had quarreled
with my father. But I couldn't help
either the one or the other."
"No, indeed. But I hope you didn't
quarrel with him."
"Didn't I ? I told him to go ahead
and write his letter if he wanted to;
that I guess I conld stand the publicity
if he could."
"Alan! Yon didn't tell me that."
"No, it didn't seem judicious."
"Perhaps I mightn't have consented
if you had."
"Oh, yes, you would."
"Why would I?"
"Because you—love me."
In good truth 1 could not obtain my
own consent to listen any longer More
over, the notes of the wood dove, feath
ered or humtin. are not particularly edi
fying in the ears of one who has long
eschewed all thoughts of domestic joys,
and I betook myself with my book to
| the deserted smoking compartment,
i Hero I ivas left in i»eace ontil uftej:
[ tlit train had passed the first telegraph
I station, but it was no auoner under
' ■again than tin- conductor entered
; fbllovved closely by my young scape
grace. They sat down in the opposite
seat, ignoring my presence as if I had
been something more or less than a
hninan being.
"What is it, Tom?" demanded the
young man anxiously.
"Oh. you're 111 for it up to your
necks yon two I I have orders to dis
honor your passes and put you both off
at the next station," said the conduct
or, with what I understood to be mock
solemnity.
Roderick nodded appreciatively. "I
thought that would lie the first thing
he would do. That's why I bought reg
ular tickets. We're patrons of the com
pany, jnst like other people, and I dare
yon to put us off!"
The big conductor's laugh shook the
windows.
"That's what I wired 'em," he said.
"But that ain't the worst of it. Your

with a wild engine chasing us, and he's
got special orders giving him right of
way over everything north and south. "
I could not deny myself a glance at
the young man's face over the top of
my book. It was a striking and instruct
ive study in dismay.
"By Jove, Tom, that's a horse of an
other color! He'll overhaul us as sure
as fate. What am I going to do?"
The big man shrugged. "Can t you
drop off at Alcantro or Syracuse and
have it done before Bosty catches up?"
"No; that's the dickens of it; that's
what we're running away for. We've
got to get out of the state. Miss Bost
wick lacks just three months of being
legally of age."
"Oho! I see. That makes it bad.
What's the old man got against yon
anywav. Rod?"
"Nothing against me. It's my father.
Three or four years ago, when father
was running the 291. they had a pretty
spiteful tiff and father quit and went
over to the East and West. Since that
time the master mechanic has had no
use for any of us.' 1
"Who was to blame?"
"I nev< r knew. They're both rather
peppery, and I guess it was six of one
and a l»;ilf dozen of the other. But that
doesn't help me out of my bucket of
hot water. What am I going to do?
That's what I'd like to know."
The conductor opened his watch and
appeared to be making a reflective com
putation.
"I'vegot a scheme, but I den t know
as it's worth much. He registered out
45 minutes behind us. If hedonbles our
schedule which he'll hardly dare to do
on tlii." light iron he can't catch ns
before we make Brownsville, can he?"
"I should say not; but what of that ?"
"Just go a little miteeasy. I'm com
ing to the scheme pretty quick now. At
Brownsville we meet the way freight,
and Jack Benson's running it. Happen
to know Jack?"
"I ought to. He was father's fire
man "
"Just so. Now, if I was you, which
it's mighty lucky for me I ain't, and a ;
good friend of mine was running that
way freight, I l>et yon big money some- j
thing would happen down at this end |

'"I know," replied the young rascal,
with a mid ot intelligence "Trur't me

They went out t< .g. tht-r, leaving me
with a new responsibility. Her.- was a

company's bn.-iness. possibly to imi.lv.-
an innocent person or i»-rhajis nior»' than
i 011 •in trouble Was it not my duty to
interfere at all hazards? I confess 1
have little regard for intemieddlers of
any sort, and this was certainly no af
fair of mine. Nevertheless, I compro
mised 011 a resolve to expostulate with
the young man himself before we -h-.nld
reach Brownsville, and in the . ddy of
that determination resumed my l»»ik
and the interrupted train of thought.
Now, it i- a student's weakn. -s to lw
unconscious of the lajise of time, and.
atier what seemed to me a very short
interval indeed, my younjt Romeo en
tered the smoking room alone. Her.',
thought I, is my chance to reprehend
the } ■ ring knave, ;uid I was abont to do
so whi 11 he forestalled me.
"This is Father Penburton. I !*•-
lieve," he In'gan affably, producing a
<igar case. "Will yon join tue?"
"Thank jou, Ido not smoke, ire
plied as severely as might he.
"No? But yon won't mind my smok
ing, will you t"
"Certainly not. 1 wish I might as
readily absolve you of your weightier
offenses.''
"Meaning?"—his eyebrows went up
in well affected surprise.
"Meaning your reckless defiance of
thu proprieties in eloping with that
sweet young girl in yonder—that and
yenr plot to delay her anxious parent. ''
said I sternly.
His smile was more than half skjfti
mace. "You don't know the circum
stances, father. If you did. yon .votildn t
blame us much. And as to the plot
—well, that was rather a shabby trick
to play on the old gentleman, bnt it's
too late to r- pent of that now."
"Too late? How? What do you
mean?"
"Why. it's a matter of history, se t<»
speak. W-; managed among ns to delay
him nearly tin honr at Brownsville, but
he is after us again now at the rate of
a mile a minute. "
"Do you mean to tell me that we
have already passed Brownsville?" I
demanded, unable to believe that my
abstraction had been so profound
"Rather better than rii hour ago.
This is Jornada," with a wave of his
hand toward the station at which the
train was then pausing.
The minor transgression being nn
preventable, I was about to attack the
major, when a brakeman came in aud
handed the young man a telegram upon
which the Hik was not yet dry. The
lighted cigar fell from his fingers as he
read uud would assuredly luiwo brrmed
a hole tn the carpet h.-ul F not prompts
set my foot upon it.
"Uroiit murder, bnt that (h<es settle

"The way of the transgressor"— I
began, Imt he broke in as one who
hears not.
"Say, Father Penburton. can a priest
of the Catholic church marry a pair of
heretics at a pinch*"
The question seemed singularly ir
relevant, but I answered it to the l>est
of my knowledge and belief.
"I know of np rule forbidding it.
Why do yon ask V'
"Read that," be said tragically,
thrusting the message into my hand.
'lf you can't help ns ont, we're done

I read:

"What have I to do with thisY" said
I\ indicating the message
"Why. 1 thought—that is. 1 didn't
know but you'd—well, you see. Father
Penburton, we've got to have a minis

talking about a justice of the peace to
Eleanor. Sh»- won't listen a minute to
that. Bnt she might consent to be mar

we call pretty high church, you know
"Still I do not understand. lam not
a justice of the peace nor yet a priest
of the Romish confession."
"You're not? Why, Graffo enid you
were, and your—er"— he broke down
and finished rather tamely. "I thonght
you looked like one. "
"Which one?" I asked, trying to be
as severe as the occasion demanded
"The magistrate or the priest?"
"Don't hit me when I'm down," he
pleaded. "I meant the priest, of
course."
"Ah! I suppose 1 should be flattered,
but I am not."
He sat twiddling his watch chain
nervously while ho tried to frame the
crucial question.
"Then may I ask. Would you myid
telling me what kind of a—a minister
yVni are?" lie stammered finally.
"I am a clergyman of the church of
which Miss Bostwick seems by your ad
mission to be a communicant," said I.
"Oh, thank goodness!" he exclaimed,
jumping up to grasp my hand effusive
ly. "Two young fools for luck every
time! You'll help ns out, won't youT"
It was my opportunity, and I used it
unsparingly.
"Not by any manner of means; quite
the contrary, I shall do everything in
my power to prevent the consummation
of this unhappy affair " (My colleague
liefor. referred to insists that my indig
nation was merely an otitlmret of pique
at being again mistaken for a Romanist,
but the charge i» t«>o trivial to refute.)
"I shall go at once to the young lady to
try if I may dissuade her while it is yet
time to withdraw."
H« dropped HIT hand and sat down
again. It wan a coup d© grace, but he
was manly enough to hide the wound.
"Doit, "he said, Iwtrdilv. "Go and

exceptional case. I do hope you may
have theplrasnre of meeting Mists Bo*t

I went at once to the young woman,
introduced myself, and labored with her
as her own pastor might, tint nil to no
pnrjK>se. she w<iti 1(1 say no word against
her father, hut she wan quit# unap
proachable on the question at issue.
"Please don't say any more, Mr Pen

well what we are about. lam sorry it
had to lie. but there was no other way."

A Modern Hay Kara.
The figure from The Rural New
Yorker shows the details of construc
tion of a modern hay barn, as described
by a correspondent The plan shown is
for n barn 40 feet wide. 50 feet long
and with p>*ts 15 feet high, with self
supporting roof. As a hay barn Is called
for. it i« unnecessary to have any floor

in the end of the barn by means of a
carrier or sling and then npon the track
the hay is carried to any part of the
barn desired- The sill. AA. sh< >n Id be
of 8 by 8 material The beams, B B and
C C, should also be 8 by 8 and mortised
into the j>csts at the corners and in the
center. These beams serve as brace*,
and must be securely fastened or the
barn will spread. One danger which
must lie gnarded against will be the
bulging of the ends. To secure these
strong steel ruda should run from the
side plat<a. the undsof which are shown
at the top of the (losts. These tteel rods
will cat "ft a portion of the corner, as
they should Iw fastened about ten feet
from the ends of the plates. The details
shown will make it plain to a builder

While results are not ao concordant
as to warrant decided conclusions, ex
periment* at the New Hampshire sta
tion indicate that stable manure and
phosphate may favor the development
of potato n-ab to a greater or less de
gree. hence ae fertilixers cannot be dis
