Everybody knows that abroad, nnd

cehs, and the long dibt ineo triuls be

amply demonstrated tho fact that tho
new class of gaoliuo motors uro both
practical nud oilieient. It may
not bo so well known that our
American mechanics uro also ac

un cxnuiiuatiou of a receut number of

uro described and illustrated over
eighty plaus for tho application of
power for street nnd road propulsion,
tho various pystems, including Bteaui,
I'lectrieity, both storugo and dynamic,
coiled Hprings, nnd oil nnd gas engines.
It is truo that the recent road triuls
nt Chicago und Yonkers wero not re
mnrkably Huccessful, but enough has
been accomplished to show that
horseless locomotion is a possibility
in tho near fnture, ind with tho ex

a certuinty. Tho romnrkablo advance

STRIKE OF BURDOCK
r.r mat nEM.Rvn.iiE nnow.
O you'vo struck, Lave
yon, lJurdock?
Tobo llowscr, wip
ing his greasy fingers
riS on uis jeansvroiiMers,
Jtf5 nlrci,,,r plcutifiilly
y-jj IX r emenrod witti grease
VX and batter, ntood
looking iu dismay nt tho object of his
question. This was a hiio dog, dirty
whit", liver-spotted, homely nnd
Holemn, who snt bolt upright, gazing
into vacancy with a contemptuous do
monitor, whilo behind him on tho Uoor
htood a plato containing his break fai t,
from which ho hud turned in corn.
Tho man pushed back his bnttercd
sombrero nnd scratched his shock head
iu a puz.lo 1 way. Ho was a tall,
rowiriul young frontiersmnn, with
keen bluo eyes und honest face, known
nil along tho rango in Southwest Ivan
cas for Lis honesty, his loyalty to his
friends nnd his nuerring aim, tho ilrst
two qualities bciug' less common
among his comitanious than tho lust
one. In those days, if u 'Vow
puncher" was a good marksman, deft
with his lasso, nnd with tho horse
muaship required ot every expert, ho
was respected, but if, too, ho was hon
est and loynl, ho gained tho allegiunca
of tho most depraved of his comrades
nn nlleginnco held in secret, per
haps, as tho cowboy dues not otteu
spcuk sentiment.
"Well, I've stood my own cookin'
ever siuco I left the Cross Hail ranch,
nn l though it's been pretty rocky, I've
got along, bnt mnybe it's been growiu'
worse an' I'vonot noticed it, for if an
accouimodutiu' dog us Burdock turns
bis back on it, it must be downright
awful. I think a mi;;h'y sight of tuot
clop, for he's smart, if he ain't pretty,
an' 1 want to take good care of him,
but if ho won't eat slap jnck and bacon
grenso, fixed up as good as I know
how, what's ho goin' to live on? Fer
there ain't a woman this sido of Cord
wood, nu' nono of them could bo hired
to como over hero sinoo tho county
scat fuss."
Tho dog, with apparent unconscioui
nop, stared straight along his nose nt
tho wall. His breathing expressod,
utmost ns plainly ns speech, tho feeling
of uno who had borua much, but for
whom tho turning point was reached,
who hail patiently endured innumer
able indignities, but who now,
solemnly und loftily, declared re
bellion. Tho man picked up tho plate of bat
ter eako und added it to the pile of
unwashed stouo china on tho greasy
tnble, then comprehensively swept
his eye over tho room. It was tho in
terior of a hillside dugout, with deep
cased, dingy windows, almost breast
high, with unplastcrcd wulls of rough,
brown sandstone, ceiliug of unpluncd
Cottonwood plunks, between which
sifted tho dirt from the sod thatch,
und tui floor of the name "boards,
greasy and dirty. Opposite thorusty
cook stove and dish-la leu table wus u
bed, with straw mattress and rough,
brown blankets, whilo a rude chest, a
broken-bucked wooden chair and u
pine box or two comprised tho slating
capacity of the room,
"Yes, Burdock," ho aflirmed, "ray
cookin's rooky, bat so's tho best of our
layout. I wouldn't blame you, bein'
La dog of sense, it you'd pull out and
go luck to uoil s country, where you
could sco a woman now nn' then, un'
eat her cookin'. If there was ono iu
the country who'd work hero, I'd suro
ly hiro her to come."
Burdock did not change his posi
tion, but his straight, slender tail
hitherto lying limply on tho floor,
scraped buck und forth on tho boards
ns though in commendation of this
speech. This action, patronizing
though it was, Tobo accepted as u
concession, and after u moment's
thought, contiuuod :
Toll you what, Burdock, I'm going
over to Huddler's to-day to too aboat
that hay land, and I'll try to und
some mun or boy to cook for us, an'
if I can't I'll think up some other
plan. I'm not going to let you starve,
if I have to sell tho ranch an' take you
bnok to New York to that boardin'
Louse of DolmonnykoBe."
The sun was slanting far past the
meridian when Burdock mot Tobo at
the section line, a half mile from
Lome. An interesting expression
possessed tho dog from Lis solemn fuco
to tho tip ot his tail. He hud never
before, when left in charge, gone ho
far, and Tobe decided at oace that in
terest in J ho success of Lis e rrand
brought tho dog from the bouse,
"It's no use bein cheerful, Bur
dock," be said, disconsolately. ."I've
been all over lookiu' for some woman,
man or boy to cook for us, but the
only ones that oun cook are off with
tho thraishin gangs for the summer.
Bnt I borrowed Mis' Saddler's cook
book, see in' as she don't cook much
bnt salt pork and potatoes, an' I'll
read op, an' try to pnt in soma trim
mfn's after this."
Bnt Bnrdock refused to be cast
down as be walked along beside Lis
master, amiably wagging Lis tail. As
Lis Lorse tnrned the corner aronnd
the clump of cotton woods that
screened tho door of the dngout, a
dingy emigrant outfit met Tobo's gaze.
Tho weathher-bcaten wngon, sorry
looking horses, even the battered pail
hanging at thebnek, betokened dilapi
dation. Near by, on a block of wood
bosido tho door Tobe's favorite seat
in tbo evening, with BurJook at Lis
knee sat a woman. A better jndge
of femininity thau Tobo could not
have told whether she was young or
old, Lcr Luge snnbonnct concealing
Lcr face, and Lcr limp gown any
youthfulness of figure, as she snt with
her Lands in Ler lap nnd Ler Lend
drooping, the picture of dejection.
Burdock walked straight to her sido.
Another dog might have fawned on
her, but this piece of canino dignity
stopped directly iu front of Lcr and
sat down, gazing on Ler with much
culm nnd friendly satisfaction. Tobe
sat btill for i moment in astonishmont,
then, springing to tho ground Le
catno toward her and queried kindly :
"Is there anything I kin do for you,
rnn'nui?"
At tho sound of his voico tho frirt,
for such she was, ns soon ns the ruiscd
her eyes, burst out crying.
"Yes, r.ir, oh, yes, if you only will,"
sho sobbed. "father's been sick in
the wn;(on for n week, but yesterday
ho went out of Lis head, nud I've got
to stop, for I can't drive nnd hold him
iu tho wiion, He's n'-leep now, but
bo's been sc lu 1 thnt I'm ufraid to bo
ou tho road nlono with him. Yo
haven't nny money, but if you'll let us
stop here till he's well, we'll both
work nftcrwnrda to pay you."
Burdock listened to tho girl's npponl
with apparent interest nnd when her
voico ilied awny in sobs ho raised n
sympathetic paw for a handshake, anil
seemed quite hurt when his offer went
unnoticed.
"Why, yes. miss," answered Tobe,
kindiy. "Of course you kin stay.
You'll find it a rocky place, but Bur
dock nu' tue'll do the best wo kin by
you. We'd better move the old gen
tleman into tho houso ns soon ns wo
kin, nn' if you'ro not ufraid to stny
Lore nlono with Burdock I'll ride over
to Cordwood nn' bring l)oc Salter ont,
for mnybe it's typhoid."
"Afraid?" answered the girl. "If
I can get under a roof once, I'll not
be afraid of anything. We've boon
six weeks comiu' down from Dakota,
an' it was awful, loncsomo nt tho best,
bnt ninco father's been sick the nights
ont on the prairie have been just dread
ful. If you'll only help me I'll work
my fingers to tho bone to pny you."
"Don't talk about pny," answered
Tobe, who wns uoisolessly unharness
ing tho tired homos, "In tko days
before I ma lo ray stake at cattle raisin'
I've know what it was to bo poor and
lonesome, an' what I do fer yon nn'
your pap ain't goin' to hurt mo. I'll
let you tuko my bunk fer your fnther,
an' fix up a shakedown fer you where
you kin watch him, an' I'll s!oep.out
here with Burdock, us I've douo many
a night."
It wus into tho night when ho re
turned from Cordwood with the doc
tor. The lump burned dimly, but
there wus light enough for the men to
seo tho interior ef the dug-out. Tho
old mun turned nnd muttered so wenkly
thut Lo did not disturb his daughter,
who, sitting on n box beside tbo bed,
with her bead laid on his feet, slept
tif exhaustion, tho Ions braid other
light, sunburned hnir dropping past
her th'n, tinned chuck to tho floor.
Before nnd facing her sat Burdock,
bliukiug nt her along his noae, in
drowsy content.
It was a mouth biter. The corn Lad
commenced to turn brown nnd mam
moth 6tncks of hay were built hero nnd
there ou the farms nud ranches. Tobe
sat in tho soft moonlight in his seat
besido tho door, Burdock besido him.
Tho two carried on nn interested con
versation, Tobe talking in nn under
tone, Burdock replying by turning Lis
Loud sideways and pricking np Lis
ears, and occasionally sorupiug his tail
bnck and forth over tho ground. With
in a bright lamp shone on an improved
iuterior aud on tho form of tho young
woman, as she moved quietly about
tho room, putting it to rights. Her
law song, a snnlch'of a hymn that bo
Lad heard at campmcetiug when he
was a boy, floated to Tobe's cars.
" J'horu is a fountain flllfd with blooJ,
Drnwa from Imuiauiiul's veins."
And tho room Lad changed, beyond
tho mero presence of a neat-hunded
woman. There wcro now chairs, a ta
ble, a chest of drawers, a bo. I, a stove,
gaudy dishes behind tho glass doors of
a cupboard all of a crude newness,
but still very splendid iu a country
where the only freight, express and
mail lines were wagon trains that
brauched out from the Santa Fo trail
to tho outlying places where people
were tryiug to build homes und com
munities. New bedding, gay print
curtains at the small windows,
a few highly colored lithographs on
the walls aud bunches of tissue paper
flowers evidenoed tho womuu's hand,
as did the neatness and the spray of
prairie ilowers in a medicine bottle on
the window sill. Tho invalid, this and
white-huired, lay on his pillow in weak
content
"Ys, Bnrdock," eaid Tobe, "I call
it next to iniruo'lous that, the very
day yoa struok, these folks should
drivo up an' that she should be suoh a
good cook. Why, old boy, you're
fatter than you've evor been in your
lifo, an' as fer me, why I never
dreamed how comfertntle like my
money could make me till she showed
me Low it might be spent. Here we
were, as mis'rable ns .we'd ever been,
the poorest job of puaohin' I'd ever
bad, an' tne tbo richest ranchman in
I country, never knowin tbet I
might Lave clean towels, an' pie, an
picters on the wall till she came."
He glanced through the open door.
"She" stood at the table mixing the
bread. He watched her deftly mov
ing bands and comely face. To him
she was the most beautiful, the most
sacred thing in the world. Awkward
and nncdiioatcd she might Lave seemed
to some, bnt in Lis eyes sho was wo
manhood apotheosized, glorified.
"She shan't do that sort of thing
long," said Le. "It ain't bnt two
weeks till the day yon know, Bur
dock, when tho cironit rider pronohes
at Sadlcrs thct if, if her pap's able to
bo abont then, an the carpenters
come from Cordwood in two weeks
more, an' we'll Lave a new Louse, with
room for all of ns, an' fer flowers in
the window, nn' a bird cnge. 8 he's
going to Lave it just like those folks
had where she worked np in Miuno
soty, an then it's her turn to have
hired girls, if I Lavo to ship 'cm out
from back East. An' to think, Bur
dock, if they hnJn't come on tho day
you struck you'd never let 'em corns
on the place. Yon'vo been second
with mo now, for somo time, but I'll
never forget what I owe yon, Bur
dock, all the same."
Tho girl's step sonnded behind
thom nnd she stood at Tobo's side. In
an instant he was on bis feet and
brought her a chair. He did not oiler
to touch her, but his every attitude
bespnko his rude adoration. He rea
lized her position in his houso.a painful
one, even for thnt iri:mtivo neighbor
hood. Thero was to bo nothiug be
twoon them thut all tho country might
not hear.
"I was just tollic' Burdock, honey,"
said Tobe, fondly, "how glad I was
thct yon camo on tho day he struck,
fer thct was tho first time he ever lot
strangers como on tho placo when I
was gone. But I always will believe
that ho know tho minit he saw yoa
thct yon would bo a deliverance an' a
heaven's blessing to both of us."
And Burdock, seated in front of tho
girl, gnziug at her ndmiringly, solemn
ly proffered his paw, in ratification of
Tobe's statement. Atlanta Constitu
tion. A Monster Jubilee 1'io.
A large ns'-.emblngo of visitors was
attrncted to Dcuby Dale, enys tho New
castle Chronicle, when the gigantic
pio with which tho inhabitants com
memorated tho Corn Law Jubilee was
cuk and served. The pie contained
1120 pounds of beef, ISO pounds of
veal, 112 pounds of mutton, sixty
ponuds of lamb nnd tho erust was
mndo of 1120 ponuds of flour and 1G0
ponnds of lnrd. The pio was prepared
by ladies of the village, assisted by J.
W. Spivey and F. Dearnley.
The meat was first cooked separate
ly, thon pnt into a dish of, threo-eighth-inch
steol plates, ten feet long,
six feet six inohes wide, ono foot deep
and weighing abont half a ton. Thi
was specially mndo by W. 0. ITolmoM
& Co,, of IIuddorsQeld. The crust was
thon put over tho meat, and the whole
pio wus buked in an oven thirteen feot
long, nine feot wide and two feot high
inside, specially designed and con
structed by Allott Brothers, of Denby
Dulc. The gross weight of the pio
nnd dish was about 4000 pounds. Tho
load was convoyed on Satnrday morn
ing from tho oven to Norman Park on
a wagon drawn by fourteen horses
nnd was on view iu tho park till 4
o'clock in tho afternoon. At 3 o'olook
thero was a procession ot waiters,
committee nnd tho Denby Dale Brais
Baud to Norman Turk. Sixpence was
charged for admission to tho park, and
a shilling for adminsion to the inclos
ure, which entitled tho visitor to a
specially designed plato contuining a
portion of tho pie.
W. Wood, a member of tho commit
tee, presented to Frank Naylor, tho
President, a pair of monster carvers
(tho knife being thirty-threo inches
long aud tho fork twenty-five inches),
with buck horn handles und silver
mountings. Mr. Naylor cut the first
portion of the pie, nud other members
of tho committee served portions to
tho pcopjo 'assembled. The balk of
tho pie wus soon disposed of. A tire
works display closed tho proceedings.
Tho receipts were in aid of tho local
charities.
Cyclists Camp ou the Moors.
In Dartmoor, England, cyclists go
out camping. "I came across a bicycla
encampment nn the beautiful wild
Hound Tor," says a writer in St.
Pauls. "There wero five tents, threo
sleeping' and two 'reception. The
party numbered niuo ; there were six
boys and girls of ages rauging from
sixteen to twenty-four, aud three
elderly people. They led a wild life,
doing ull the cooking themselves and
providing most of the larder. They
buked their own broad iu a delightfully
oontrived eartheru bakery, oaught
their own fish and shot a good inuuy
rabbits. Tho men wore 'cords,' loose
shirts and Buffalo Bill' huts; the
girls, knickerbockers of some thin
colored manorial, buttoned at the knee,
silk sbirts with dog-toby vollurs to
match, a kind of fominino jacket and
felt bats turned up and fastened with
a buoklo on one side. It was the
neatest, prettiest and nost womanly
costume I Lave ever seen. The girls
invented it themselves, and how they
reveled in it ! They wore shoes and
stockings on 'special days,' the young
est meinbtr confided to mo. Every
morning they biked to the Dart and
had a swim ; back to breakfast at 7 ;
attended to domestio and culinary
matters until 9. Then some rambled
over the hills or chased the moorland
ponies, and perhnps caught and rodo
ono. From 12 to 4 the camp slept
and smoked nnd read. Theu, when
tho sun began to grow sleepy, they
awoke, and somo with rod nnd seme
with gun and some with bike hastened
to replenish the larder and enjoy an
evening's sport. One vag always told
oil ai sentry to guard the camp."
A LIFE ROMANCE.
l
DR. TV. SKWARD WEBB MAT BE
A UNITED STATES SBNATOK.
-. V
Career of Alan Who by Klod Act
Sprang From a Penniless
Interne Into Great
Wealth.
IN Lis election to the Legislature
ot Vermont Dr. W. Seward Webb
makes his political bow to the
6 American pnblic This fact, says
a New York letter to the Chicago
Times-Herald, is of importance chiefly
for the reason thnt it is a step toward
LigLer honors for the millionaire rail
road and palace car magnet. It is al
ready said that Dr. Webb's friends are
shaping Lis affairs in order to sond
him to the Senate of tbo United States
from Vermont His friends in New
York predict a brilliant career for him
in National polities, and his neighbors
in Vermont are pleased to find a man
of Dr. Webb's great financial import
ance taking an interest in practical
government.
Never was tho story ot Aladdin's
lump so perfectly reduced to tho con
crete as in the life and advontures of
Dr. Webb. At ono conp bo was lifted
from the position of a penniless in
terne in a hospital to that of tho hus
band of one of the richest of the Van
derbilt heiresses. The tnngio of the
Vandcrbilt millions touchod him and
he bloomod into a director of tho New
York Central l.nilroad, tho President
of tho Wngner rnlnco Car Compnny
and ono of tho lending powers iu tho
Nation's world of wealth. This story
of his rise nnd greatness in prettier
than any romance ot the loves of tho
tons and daughters of Now York's
millionaire families. Iu 183) ho was
attached to tho Vnnderbilt clinio in
St. Luke's Hospital, nnd wus in chnrge
of tho surgical patients of that institu
tion. To this- clinio Miss Lila Van
derbilt, the youngest daughter of Will
iam II. Vandcrbilt was a constant vis
itor. One day a little girl was brought
into tho hospital with a broken leg.
Tho interne had c soft heart and a
synipnthotio nntnre aud tho sweot faco
of the child attracted him. Ho wns
always by her bedside nnd watched
the case with a solicitude that toached
tho child heart of the patient. The
girl began to lovo him and spoko of
him to Mies Vandcrbilt in terms of
extravagance that aroused the young
woman s interest. So, too, hnd sho
spoken to tho doctor of tho "kind
yoaug lady" who had so often visited
her. Ono day tho little patient re
lupsod. The case was critical, nnd tho
doctor, alarmed for her life, 'watched
at her bedside for hours. While tho
doctor was thus engaged Miss Vandcr
bilt entered the room and r.pproached
the bed. Sho saw the handsome young
man and looked inquiringly toward
the little girl. The. patient smiled.
"This is tho kind doctor," sho ex
plained, "and this is the kind young
lndy."
Miss Vandcrbilt extended her Land
and clasped the Land ot tho man wLo
was to become her husb&nd.
Thus it was that n kind heart opened
tho door of honor, fortune nnd golden
success to Seward Webb. He did not
long remain an interne in tho hospi
tal. To be one of tho Vnnderbilt!
means to be a part of tho great rail
roud system owned by tho family.
Webb had studied medicine. Ho mutd
now study railroading, for Miss Van
derbilt loved him. A firm Worden
& Webb wus created for him and
opened business iu Wull street. The
match was a happy ono, nud wus ap
proved by Mr. Vunderbilt. How sub
stantially it was npprovod wns made
known when, on tho day of tho wed
ding, tho couple wero prcsontud with
tho stately Louse at 080 Fifth avenue.
When tho older Vnnderbilt died Mrs.
Webb inherited 810.000,000. Mean
whilo, tho young doctor, preferring
railroads to medicine, had progressed
in the craft of Wall street, und had
stepped into tho position which hit
wife's wenlth entitled him to.
The doctor's personality and fam
ily history wore pleasing to tho Van
derbilt?. His father was James Wat
son Webb, proprietor of tho Courier
and Journal of Turrytowu, and an im
portant man in his day. When Sow
urd was a boy his father was made
United States Minister to Brazil, and
it was there tho doctor received his
early education. Deciding to adopt
medicine as profession the young
man went to Paris, and there was
graduated in the art. Tho elder
Webb's father, or the doctor's grand
father, was General Webb, w ho figured
conspicuously iu the war of the Rev
olution as the aido-de-cump ot Wash
ington. He at( one time was com
mander of famous old Fort Dearborn,
on the present site of the city of
Chicago.

tate in Englund, Germany or France.
It consists of 3000 acres ot rolling
land, lying ou an average of 300 feet
abovo the level of Lake Champluin.
Woods and orohards cover about COO
acres. The rest is given up to the
finest ttook Term in America. One oi
the features of this princely estate is
Dr. Webb's mansion. It is located on
a sloping platoau right on tho lake
front, commanding an entrincing
view of the Adiroudacks, Tho man
sion is a Quoen Anne structure, de
signed entirely for comfort, but of ex
ceedingly tasteful architecture,
Dr. Webb is fond of hunting and
fishing. To this end ho has a preserve
in Herkimer and Hamilton Counties,

200,000 acres of mountain and forest.
