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

OLD TIME STAGE DRIVERS.
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. Columbus
