    I Love at Lono Ranoe b
Charles O'Meara was mi operator in
Now York on OQ6 filo of h qaadrn
plexed wire running to Chicago, Tim
operator on tho oorresjiondiiiK nidn in
Chicago waa Miaa Amy Davidson. Both
wero expert, and the wanner in which
thi.'V ki' t tli'ir m'ss;i(t hiio'rH clear
excited the admiration of the chief in
their respective offices. O'Meara waa a
handsome and intelligent yonng Irish
man, witli j't Mack hair and mnitache
and trri'at. soulful blue 'Vts --one of the
kind of ntenwhoaeetn almost tracon
ciooslyto possess tin1 jiower of fascina
tioii over women.
After having worked the wire to
Ketle r ;i few months i I'Meara and Miss
Davidson becatpe well acquainted, al-
thoagb, of conrSp, neither had ever seen
the other. They had abundant oppor
tunities for conversation in the early
morning before the rush of business for
the day began and in the late after
noon when the rush was over.
There u a sort of telepathy in tel
egraphy, as all telegraphers admit, and
there certainly was in this case. Long
before any word of love had passed over
the wire between them each had be
cqino c nscioni of a tender regard for
the other. O'Meara could recognize in
an instant the touch of a Btrange hand
' the key in Chicago, and Miss David
son was as quickly conscious of the
i when any other than O'Meara 'a
ban I i innipulated the transmitter in
V York There is as much that is
distiii' characteristic in the manner
m win. h telegraphers form the dots
and i! isbes as there is in the manifold
forms of chirography.
in' morning Amy cotnpluiqcd of
feeling ill. "1 am afraid." she said,
"that I will have to give "i and go
home. won 1(1 do so surely if I could
afford to lose the time. My head aches
dreadfully. Dear me! What would my
mother and winter do if 1 should become
really Biekl Tin y hove nobody to take
care of them hut me. "
Th re was a tremnlonsness in thodota
and dashes which plainly indicated to
O'MearH that the jrlrl, a thousand miles
away, was weeping softly, as indeed she
was. with her lead resting wearily
ngainsl the resonator containing the
sounder, lie replied:
Try to stick it out today, dear.
We will take it easy, and perhaps you
will foi l better by tomorrow. At any
rate, don't worry. "
li . n i tho firs) time he had nsed any
term "1 endearment in their inter
course, and she was much affected. But
she brightened up a little and managed
to struggle through the day's work.
Next morning O'Meara found a
strange operator at the Chicago end of
the wire, and when ho inquired for
Miai Davidson he was told that she was
very ill. The poor fellow realized now,
if lie never had before, that bo was
deeply in love with a woman ho had
never seen, He became ho fretful and
irritable as to excite comment among
the ill In rs in the office.
"What on earth is the matter witli
O'Meara T" asked one of the operators
on the opposite side of the "quad" of
the maii who sat at the next instru
ment.
"I guess he's in love with that Chi
cago girl who is sick. '' was the reply.
One morning the answer made by the
Chicago operator to O'Meara'a Inquiry
as to Miss Davidson's condition con
tained hut one word "Dead!"
i I'Meara uttered a kind of moan, and
his head fell upon his desk. When one
of the chiefs aroused him, he found the
yonng man's face Mushed and his eyes
bloodshot O'Meara was sent home,
where he remained for weeks suffering
from a severe attack of brain fever.
When at last he had recovered and re
turned to the office to report for duty,
the chief told him to take his usual seat
nt the Chicago quadruple!.
"If you'd just ns lief give nie another
wire. I'd rather have it." O'Meara
said. "1 don't think I cue to work
with Chicago any more."
There was a twinkle in tho eye of
the chief as be said !
"Yea used to do s uae fine work on
that hicago wire. "
"Pi rhapsao," O'Meara replied sadly,
"but I had a line operator to work
with. "
"Well,'' said the chief, "that's a tine
operator there yet the same one. I be
lieve that was there before."
"That cannot he for she isj dead!"
Thin with a great sob.
"I think yon had better return to the
old wire, for the present at least." the
chief said. "Then, if yon are not satis
fied. I will transfer you to some other
circuit."
O'Meara walked slowly over to his
old place to relieve the man who was at
the moment receiving some messages
from Chicago. As he neared the Instru
ment and heard the characters coming
with a dearly loved and familiar sound
his heart almost stopped beating so
overwhelming was the surge of emo
tion. He listened a moment until at th"
beginning of another message came the
signal of tho sending operator, "A. D. "
"Who, in heaven's unme, is there in
Chicago," he almost shouted, "that
dares to sign 'A. D. V "
"Amy Davidson, of course," was
his friend's reply.
"Don't trifle with mo," O'Meara
ried. "Amy Davidson is dead I' '
"Not by a long shot," said the oper
tor, making way for O'Meara. "It
was only a rumor that some chuckle
headed ass accepted as a fact. She has
been back at work for two weeks or
more. From the manner in which she
has inquired abont yon every day 1
otionld imagine that sho takes an inter
est la yon.
When he eat down before the instru
ment his hand trembled bo that he
could scarcely form the dots and dashef
oaak:

"Your logic seems to be as merciless
as it is correct." answered Gordon,
with knitted hrows. "Still, there are
some points relating to your history on
which my mind is a trifle obscure.

"And who was this heart" asked
q0j0
"A man named Hepburn."
"Amy Hepburn's father?" murmured
'.' yonng man, rnooing ins nana across
his brow in an effort to remember.
"Vi s. Hepburn lost every penny he
had in the world through that disas
trous wheat deal. He was forced into
bankruptcy and, unable to beanthe dis
grace, took his own life. His money
went to increase the store your father
left you. my boy, and it is now possible
for you to live in luxury while Hep
burn's wife and cihldren must struggle
on as best they can. However," and
me Hseieion got up aim Bianco naca to
its closet, "it is nol for me to moralize,
Now that I've caught myself deliver
ing a homily. I'll just take my depart
ure. An revoir, my dear fellow:"
Halting at t lie closet door, the skele
ton waved iss adieu and disappeared
within. Gordon sat in bis chair, deep
in thought, while his cigar burned it
self out between his fingers.
At hist he got up and shook his broad
shoulders as though freeing himself of
a disagreeable burden.
"Society has dared me." he inntter
id. "hut I Know my heart, now, aud
I'll do as I please!"
After Harry Gordon and Amy Hep
burn had been married and had re
turned from their honeymoon Barry
brought his bride upstairs to his old 06 a week, guaranteed, and ootntnia
bachelor'sden and seated herin a chair. g nmkc (fQm to $-.

A look of astonishment came into
Amy's 1 Ine eyes as she watched her
husband proceed to the closet, throw
open the door and go rummaging about
inside.
"What in the world are you looking
for, Harry 1" she asked as he returned
to her side.
"I'm looking for something that does
not seem to he there the Gordon fam

Just then n clanking tread was heard
in the hallway without, the door was
pushed slowly ajar and (he skeleton
limped in. supporting itself on a crutch
and looking very much the worse for
wear.
"There it is!" cried Gordon. "What's

Few outside the hrotherhood of the
key are aware that operators often
play poker over the wire. It Is. never
theless, a fact, and the diversion Is fair
ly common.
"When I was working on the
Blankety-blank line at a little railroad
station In Illinois." said an ex-operator
the other day. "luisincss was very slack

London, Dec. 12. No further official
ews has been received to remove the
mystery overhanging General Gat-
acre's retreat from Stormherg. He has
1 Tint vat fnrwn rcl oH tho nrnmlnafl lift.
I dltlonal message, and the censorship
I has preveated the correspondents from
1 explaining the matter. While lt ap-
pears to he generally admitted that
General Gatacre is inclined to over-
j work his men, It is felt that conslder-
; able allowance must he made for the
extreme difficulty of getting intelll-
gence in a country whose inhabitants
1 are In strong sympathy with the
enemy.
According to reports thus far recelv- ,
ed General Qatacre left Putters Kraal
by train for Molteno. ami then pro
ceeded by forced march 12 miles to-
, ward Btonnberg. lie had 4,000 nu n,
including the Northumberland Fusil
iers, the Royal Irish Rifles and two
batteries of Held artillery.
The Hritish were unmolested by th?
Boers until the Boer position was
reached, when a hot lire was unex
pectedly opened upon the advancing
colemn.
The engagement began at 4 : l r. a. m.
At 7 a. m.. after a sharp artillery
duel, the Iirltish retired to Molteno."
General Qatacre found tie enemy's po
sition Impregnal ie. it was Impossible
fur ihe British Infantry to get al the
liners, 'ihe British losses were two
men killed, nine officers ami 1" men
wounded and 672 captured. The Boers
also captured three British guns.
Stormberg is described as a stronger
position than Nolngs Nek, The only
road winds through lofty hills and
Hanking Is Impossible. Colesberg is
. also said to he an almost lm regnablo
position, anil as 110 troops are avail
able lo reinforce ihe columns acting
j In those directions, It Incomes evi
dent that General Oatacre's misfor
tune or error will delay the invasion
of Ihe Kree Suite perhaps some weeks.
It is exceedingly probable that he will
be compelled to retire on QueeMtown
and to waii for reinforcements, which
can hardly reach him until Sir Charles
Warren's division arrives at Ihe cape.
The first detachments will sail Satur
day next. Even it' General French is
not compelled to retreat he will be
obliged to pause in his advance.
It is announced from Cape Town
that the Boers have succeeded in re
pairing the l.euwfontein bridge, be
tween Stormberg and Burgbersdorp,
which the Hritish had destroyed on
retiring.
Details are expected from the Hoer
outposts In the direction of Modder
! River. There is a report that the
nMtlsh are advancing on the plain, and
heavy fighting is anticipated, General
1'rlns I.00 and General Cronje com
mand the Hoer forces.
The following dispatch has been re
ceived at Lorenzo Manpiese from tho
Boer laager near Ladysmith: Several
kaffir runners from Ladysmith to Est
court have been captured. They re
ceived from 15 to UP) for the trip.
The Intercepted messages show that
