Taylor, of McCon nellshurg, with several friends spent a short time in Everett on Christmas night Subscribe' tor only IL50 a year. the "News' fhe Lack Of a Nickel And Dilemma Solution. am d Its By JOHN I IAZEN HASKELL ITiilloway landed breathless on the top ntop of the elevated station just os tlio northbound express pull ed out. He was ul ready five min utes lute to u dinner engagement, and ho could have made it in ten if he could have caught that express. He had visions of a pretty little woman in a violet colored evening gown tapping an impatient foot on the oriental rug in the corner of tho library and wondering at tho delay of her invited guest. lie also had visions of another woman whom he dearly loved and who, he had every reason to be lieve, used to regard him with the tenderest of feelings. And it was to relieve his mind of the misery that this latter vision conjured up that Ik: banished it as hastily as he could and lu rued the matter in hand, that of getting to his destination with as little loss H4 n fnntmn ta of time as possible. So ho turned to scan the tracks for the approach of the next train. An empty express whizzed by on tne other track on its way down town; then a southbound local null ed in on the opposite side, unloaded a passenger and went on its way. the passenger was a tall girl in gray, witn n milly grav fur about her face and a big black hat tho dim light and the distanco across tracks between revealed no more to Ilallowav. She did not leave the platform, but sat down on the edge of a bench in the uneasy way of some one who does not expect to stay long. Waiting for some one, said Halloway. He thought she must bo pretty ami wondered what color tho hair under that big hat was. three or four minutes passed. The pair, divided by the glistening lines of rails, eved each other cov ertly and tried to look unconscious. The girl's foot was tapping the floor, and she turned at every sound to peer down the stairs. At last sho caned forward and called across the basin ; "Pardon ine, sir! Can you tell mo what time it is?" Ilallowav stopped suddenly in his walk. That voice had a familiar sound. He consulted his watch. "Ccrlainlv. It is now ten min utes past 1," ho called back. He heard the girl gasp, whether in surprise at the hour or in recog nition of his voice he could not tell. "Thank vou," she said after a sec ond, then silence, and another emp ty express whizzed by. Alter awhile she spoke again, nave you been hero long?" sho asked. "Seven minutes or so." "Did vou happen that is, you might did you see a a gentle man waiting here?" Halloway was sure of the voice now and also t tint she cua not rec ognize him. "No; I am sorry to say I have not. You are waiting for some one?" "Yes, but I am a littlo late, I fear. Are you quite sure your watch is quite right ?" Quite so, 1 m afraid. It was with official time at (!." "Thank vou just tho same," she said and sighed. Ilalloway's express pulled in, and, banishing the vision of an irate hostess, he let it go without him. When the train had gono and tho girl saw him still there she 6at up very straight. "Wasn't that your train?" sho asked, with suspicion. "liy, yes no that is, 1 am waiting for somo one also," ho lied cheerfully. A long silence followed, i rains came and went; passengers alighted and disappeared down the stairs; theater goers began to arrive and in clue time were carried on to tho city. Still no man camo to meet 1 the girl, and still Halloway paced the platform. He had let two ex press trains go by now, and he meant to stay till ho saw tho girl safo aboard a dowutown train; also ho burned with an Othcllo-liko dc- sire to see who tho "gentleman might be. When once more they had the platform all to themselves the girl spoke again. "I am going to ask you a ques tion," she said. "If a man had an engagement ' with a girl for G:20 and she did not come till after 1, do you think he might not wait for her?" "He might think sho was Dot coming," Halloway replied. "Do you think ho might be thia late himself?" Ilallowav looked at his watch. "Half past" 1. Well, lu;rdly." "Then I surely ought not to wait longer," said the girl and, rising, started toward the stairs. But sud denly she stopped, with a' little cry. "What is it?" asked Halloway, forgetting everything but that this girl who was everything to him was in trouble. "Oh, 1 just thought of some thing!" said the girl. She walked slowly buck to the bench and sat dowrl v.;ih her ryes bent on tho bench in deep thought. Halloway walked quickly to the verv eitge rtf the station platform, anil leaned as far out ns ho could without falling. "You are in trouble. Won't you let nic help you ?" ho pleaded ear nestly. "Why, thank you." she faltered. "I don't know 1 think, maybe" Suddenly she threw up her head and laughed. How that laugh went to Uallowny's heart! "Well, the fact is," Rhe continued, "that I was to sure of meeting my cousin here that I only slipped a nickel in my glove and and well, you see, I have no car fare." Then they laughed together. That one won! "cousin" wus as balm to a wounded heart. Hallo way knew this cousin well, lie had boarded at the place where Hallo way himself lived, and he had left him in jacket and slippers, pipe in hand, lounging in his favorite mor ris chair. It was a pure case of "forgot." j'Oh, if that's all," said ITallo way, "I can just come over anu es cort vou myself to where you wish togo!" The girl drew herself up with dignity. "I would not bother you," she said, "b"t if you .would be so kind you might fold your card about a nickel ami toss it across, and 1 coul(1 r('tl,rn il '" tho "n'mZ-" "01l certainly, if you prefer I said Halloway. A happy thought struck him. In pretense of hunting a card he step ped directly under an electric light, raising his head so it might shino in his face. "Dick Halloway!" he heard her cry. He turned, grinning. She stamped her foot on the edge of the platform. "How dare you speak to me," she cried, "after I told you never to again '(" ".My dear girl, I beg to remind you that you spoke first." "Well, I'm sure I didn't know it was you." "I expect 1 have changed a great deal in the last two weeks," said Halloway, with pathetic emphasis. Tho girl tapped her foot and said nothing. "In the meantime," ho resumed, "may I ask, do you still want that nickel, or may I conic over to jour side and take you downtown to dinner?" "No, indeed, you may not! But I suppose I'll have to take the nickel, and as I have to go over there to get a train home you may meet me downlairs and have the pleasure of paying my faro for the last time." "Very well. But you can't pre vent my going out on the same train." "I thought you were waiting for some one?" "I was waiting to see the chap you were waiting for." "Jealous?" I "I own it; also that is what ailed me two weeks ago." ! "Vou admit that," asked tho girl, ! "and all the rest that you were I wrong about the whole thing?" she , asked again. "That I was wrong about the whole thing," said Halloway. "I would have told you that a week ago if you had given mo a chance. Edith, 1 was a chump, and I'm no end sorry, and you are" "Hick oh, tiek," she interrupt ed, "como on over to my side, and I'll go downtown to dinner with you!" Napoleon and "Julius Caesar." Bonaparte was one night at the lay in l'aris, and it happened to be I "Julius t'uesar. Talma performed the part of Brutus, and when he I knelt to Caesar and said, "Give us back our liberties," tho acclamations all over the house were 60 great that nothing could be heard on the stage for many minutes. Bonaparte meanwhile was taking snuff in his most violent way, which he always did when agitated. Tho next day he sent orders that that play was not to be acted any more. Journal of Hon. Mr. Calvert.

They Were Vlighty Important Mon In Hitm Horn Towns. In the .lays of the stagecoach the driver of tin- singe was the big gest niiin in the place where he liv ed, barring none. Me was always a man of great strength and bravery, aggressive, resourceful and well in formed on nil topics been use of his continual contact with people and his life in tho channels of communi cation. His services commanded good pay, and the man whose (laughter could lead the stage driver into matrimony considered himself lucky. When married the driver usually established his home some where conveniently on his route, so that he would have a chance to stop in and see his family on each trip, with an occasional stay for a day or so at the home. Thomas Wilson of Washington, whose boyhood home was in Co lumbiana county when the stage was still common, writing for the Ohio Historical society's publica tion, says: "The wagoners ate at the table with other guests, travelers, gentle men, ladies and what not, for they were just as good as anybody else. Mr. Wilson was referring in this more particularly to the drivers of the freight wagons that operated over the same roads and at the amc time with the passenger stages, but what was true of this class of driv ers was true of the stage drivers as well. The freight was carried in huge Conestoga wagons covered with sail cloth. Each horse carried bells at tached to an iron bow connecting the hames over the withers, ana each drivef had his own peculiar bells, so that it was easily possible for the people living along the route to tell from the sound what particular driver's outfit was pass ing. It was the rule of the road that no driver could pass another who was in trouble stalled or broken down without doing all in his pow er to get him out of the difficulty. The same rule applied to those in private conveyances except that a man who had a lady with him might pass on without stopping. . It came to be established as a rule of the rood that tho bells of the driver who was thus helped out of the difficulty became the prop erty of the driver that assisted him as a kind of salvage.
