"Mudlark" Jim resented the derisive
title and was tilled with a longing to
full upon and rend the line of grinning
stable boys who yelled and hooted as
Joe led Bareshanks out for his exer
cise. The shabby blanket flapped
around the gaunt legs, and the bald Bo
uian nose was stretched to its far
thest as Bareshanks sniffed at the wet
morning. Out in the east a rim of sick
ly yellow barred the sky. Jim scram
bled up, and they went slowly out on
the track to the accompaniment of
"Hayrack!" "Ki-yi! (let on to de
moonshine tru his ribs;" • Three legged
skate!" and a chorus of groans.
Jim's thin little arms went around
the bony neck, while a tear trickled a
white line down the grime on his
cheek. The keen wind cut through the
lad's jacket, and the little hand; that
gripped the bridle were blue with cold.
Underneath the track was already
sticky. As Jim turned into the field,
where later the little red Hag would
mark the course from one ugly ditch to
another. Bareshanks laid down to his
work. The slippery turf slid away
from ui.der his great hoofs in a green
glimmer as t! ey rose from hurdle to
hurdle.
Over and over the course weut Bare
shanks and Jim, while at the stables,
in the on yof Mayer Bros.' quar
ters, a i.i.ui stood peering through field
glasses at the brown blur that swept
IT -und the ti Id.
I. i si pped to the ground, the sweat
|ou:ing froi'i horse and boy alike. Joe,
his sulky fa • hid under the peak of
his cup. gave him a sly glance as he
blanketed th.- horse and led him in
side. Jim turned with a question in
his eyes to the man who stood pulling
his gray mustache and looking away
into space. .lim twitched his sleeve,
and he looked down into the small,
pinched face its very eagerness ren
dering it thinner and more pathetic,
and answered the unspoken query.
"Yes; he'll do. In for a penny, in for
H pound: but if he fails I'll see that
you get back to the old farm, all right."
"And him" Jim pointed to where
the bony nose showed through the open
door.
The man laughed shortly. "A bullet
through his ngly head." The boy shrank
back and slipped through the door. I n
perceived, he curled down in the straw
almost at the feet of Bareshanks, who
munched contentedly at his provender.
Other eyes had watched that morning
gallop. Joe, the grooin. had finished
the rubbing down when, with an eye
on the silent figure outside the door, he
(matched from its nail the bridle that
Bareshanks must wear In the coming
race, drew a bottle of colorless liquid
from his pocket and poured a few drops
over the bit. Bright eyes watched
from the shadow of the feed box, and
when Joe, his work done, disappeared
Jlnt Jerked the bridle down and studi
ed It. There was not the slightest
scent. lie hung the bridle back again
and resumed his place between th •
horse's legs, a look of owlish gravity
on the queer, puckered, old young face.
The hours wore on. Over on the
track, where a drizzling rain 'ell stead
ily, men went up and down in mackin
toshes. Women in short skirts gathered
in knots upon the grand stand, their
eyes fever bright with excitement. The
crowd grew steadily. Out there, where
the little red flags, like points of flame,
marked the zigzag of the hurdles, the
old wagon drawn by the gray work
horse stood loaded with the net, and a
scurry of boys blew hither and thither
In the wake of the different owners.
There had been wild work when Joe
essayed to lead Bareshanks out. An
old rope halter hung where the bridle
should have been. Joe turned ashy.
Jiiu stuck like a bur to Bareshanks
and trailed at his heels in his patched
and stained jacket, a mere apology for
owner's colors. Neither horse, owner
nor jockey was a favorite on the
Downs. True to the primeval Instinct,
the rout was hostile to the shabby en
tourage. Nevertheless there was no
open affront. Landon evidently pos
sessed some kind of a pull with Mayer
Bros.; hence his occupancy of oue of
their stalls and the grudging attend
a nee of Joe.
Jim was ready to mount Bareshanks
when the boll tapped, but as he passed
the grand stand, still clinging to the
old rope halter, the crowu yelled and
rose as a man.
Off with the saddle and the weighing
done, they were mounted again and
filed before the grand stand, Bare
shanks' ugly head reared above his
fellows. Then as they would have pass
ed Into the field a voice from the
Judges' stand halted them: "What's
the matter with that boy on No. 5?
That's no bridle. Where'd he get that
halter V"
All eyes turned on Jim, who wheeled
Bareshanks and rode to the front of
the judges' • nd. while up In the front
row a man shook his list at him and
cursed savagely. The small figure
straightened in the saddle and, with
an appealing glance nt the wall of
faces, pulled a bridle, bit and all. from
the breast of his Jacket. An intense
silence fell as the childish treble rang
out: "Boss, here's the bridle right
enough, but I'd ride him with notbin'
but a rope halter to Jericho before I'd
let it go in his mouth. You can't smeil
uothin", en you can't see nothin' But
I was settin' down in the corner en
o-sayln' notliin' when that black devil
poured somethln' out of a bottle all
■ over it, en when he was gone I just
up en swiped it. en I hain't let goof
It since. You can see for yourself."
And with a sure aim he hunched the
bridle and flung It to the judge.
At the lad's first word there had
been u commotion down there among
tne crowd of grooms in the paddock.
A lithe, black form darted across the
•course and made for the outer gate.
A dozen men seized him at once and
then held their breath for the next
move in the play.
Old Colonel ('ant well, the judge,
stood up and waveu ror siienee.
"Bring h;ui another bridle 111 take
care of this one. Now get to the post."
Jim settled in the saddle. Ahead
of him the little flags danced in the
wind and rain. Or prison's Black Ser
aph wheeled into Bareshanks. and at
the "nd of the line Morgan's Timl»er
Wolf pluag'-d aad reared. Three times
the red flag fell, three times they strag
gled back to the post. Then red down,
yellow down and a whir of black, bay
sorrel and gray swept away, n ise and
nose, with the rain adrip on flesh of
■scarlet and blaze of gold.
"Mudlark!" "Old Skate!" It rang in
his ears o!i the whistle of the wind.
The first hurdle Jim felt the long
body gather itself, and they were
over, l a ug the Black Seraph a balk
er adrift in the field. Timber Wolf led
by a head i here were only four now.
Jlui grinned ana mrenoci a little for
ward as Bareshanks' great hoot's
gripped the slippery grass. (Jrant's
Derrydown was second, the I«stride
of English hunters showing its mettle
from great-grand sire to son, Maxtou's
Ked Uuin and Long's Wild Irishman
nose and nose with Bareshanks. l'[i
the slope and over the second hurdle,
the great shoulders working with a
mighty come and go, Bareshanks
forged on. while the Wild Irishman
dropiM'd in a heap to scramble out with
a wrenched fore leg. Jim laughed
aloud as they swept the turn. The
third he had studied it well and knew
the rotten hank, where the Timber
Wolf landed, struggled a moment and
slid down, his fore lighting the air.
The}' were close together now, Herry
down lir.st by a shoulder length. Bare
shanks next, his ugly, lean head
stretched out, with red nostrils wide
aflare, and Bed Uuin straggling a sorry
third.
Over—over again. They had made
the round once and for the second time
had passed the tirst three hurdles.
Bareshanks crept up a few inches on
the home stretch, leaving Bed Uuin a
dozen yards in the rear. The last hur
dle lay before them, osage and black
thorn with an ugly stretch of water
beyond. .Urn's tense little hands crept
up closer to the bit as he poured (!od
knows what prayers and promises into
the two ears that lay to the big. ugly
head lie felt the great muscles stitT
en. the bunching of those awkward
looking legs, the surge of the heart be
neath the gaunt ribs up over—flash —
whir—and the sea of faces rose and
surged in the billow of sound as the
bald Uoman nose was thrust under the
wire, winner l»y a neck's length.
From the stand above men came
down hand over hand, men poured in
from the pit, and the shrill clamor of
excited women's voices shrilled above
the dull roar of the crowd. Jim slid
from the saddle and went to the block,
staggering under its weight, his slen
der body all a-qulver, then back to sit
motionless, enduring, until the moment
when Bareshanks, swathed in his
shabby blanket, stood the center of the
stables' attention and envy, and he
awoke and lived again, his arms
around the brown neck, his face buried
in the scanty mane. There could be no
question of a bullet in the head of the
winner of the Montgomery steeple
chase.
WAYS TO ADVERTISE.
The Wtaae Man May Kanlly Se<- Whlota
In the Ufit Method.
If you have goods to sell, advertise.
Hire a man with a lampblack kettle
and a brush to paint your name and
number on all the railroad fences. The
cars go whizzing by so fast that no
one can read them. to be sure, but
perhaps the obliging conductor would
stop the train to accommodate an in
quisitive passenger.
Have your card in the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping at
hotels for a night generally buy a cigar
or two before they leave town, and
they need some inspiriting literary food
besides.
If an advertising agent wants your
business advertised in a fancy frame
at the depot, pay him about 200 per
cent more than it is worth and let
him put it there. When a man has
three-quarters of a second in which to
catch a train he invariably stops to
read depot advertisements, and your
card might take his eye.
Of course the street thermometer
dodge is excellent. When a man's lin
gers and ears are freezing or lie is puff
ins; and "phewing"' at the heat is the
time above all others when he reads
an advertisement.
Have thousands of little dodgers
printed and hire a few boys to dis
tribute them. You've no idea how the
junk dealer and paper and rag man
will respect you.
A boy with a big placard on a pole
is an interesting object on the street
and lends a dignilied air to your estab
lishment. Hire about two.
Advertise. on a calendar. I'eople
never look at a calendar to see what
day of the mouth it is. They merely
glance hurriedly at it so as to be sure
that your name Is spelled with or
without a "p," that's all.
But don't think of advertising in a
well established, legitimate newspaper.
Not for a moment. Your advertise
ment would be nicely printed and
would find its way into all the thrifty
households of the region, where are the
farmer, the mechanic, the tradesmen
in other lines and into the families of
the wealthy and refined, all who have
articles to buy and money with which
to buy them, and it would be read and
pondered, and people would come down
to your store and patronize you and
keep coming in increasing numbers, and
you might have to hire an extra clerk
or two, move into a larger block and
more favorable location and do a big
ger business, but of course It would be
more expensive—and bring greater
profits.—Detroit Free Press.
I''or Their Stomach*' Sake.
Sunday scliool treats must come round
oftener in England than in the United
States, for the dean of Bristol has in
cluded in his book, "Odds and Ends,"
many stories of the hold of such fes
tivities on the juvenile heart and stom
ach.
The hand of a small boy wavered for
an instant over a plate of cakes before
he took one. "Thanks," he said, after
his momentary hesitation, "I'm sure I
can manage it if I stand up."
Another boy, still smaller, who had
stuffed systematically, at last turned
to his mother and sighed: "Carry me
home, mother; but, oh, don't bend me!"
The average boy in Yorkshire knows
why he attends these feasts and does
not relish being furnished forth scan
tily. A solicitous curate approached one
who was glowering mysteriously. "Have
you had a good tea?" the curate asked.
"No," said the boy, in an aggrieved
tone, laying his hand on his diaphragm.
"It don't hurt me yet."
lion to Cook I'rnum,
When prunes are served they should
fall apart from the stones and be very
tender In order that the prunes should
reach the perfection of tenderness It is
better to soak them in cold water for
twenty four hours before cooking. First
they should 1M? washed thoroughly in
scalding water, then put to sunk. After
the soaking they may be boiled witii
sugar, not too much, or they may be
soaked a second twenty-four hours in
milk and then served with hon<*y.

IN APRIL, 1776
This epistle read, Jaffrey Warrell ad
dressed to "Ye Taverne of ye Belle aud
Ilaude lu ye Town of Boston:"
My Suete and Noble Lover 'Tis much? that >e
would of mo, and tho' fain 1 would pleasure
you in al!e thyngs—yet thys 1 fear cannot be, that
I should betray my countrie. Yet will 1 meet
thee tomorrow nighte at thys place ye tpeake of.
Till then adieu! Ever thy sweetinge,
April ye 18, 177«. AVMAWELI.*.
"Ho, mine host Peter!" cried Jaf
frey. " "l'is in my mind to tarry to
uight with you. See to it that a bed
be well aired, I beg, and look kindly to
Fairface, my mare. She is gravel lame,
methinks."
With these words he walked away
into the town, leaving the hostlers to
do his bidding.
Not till late did he return, and then
in a peij-jirbed mood. So quietly did
he enter his chamber that the men in
the next room heard him not nor ceas
ed In their loud talking. But Jaffrey
paid little heed to them, thinking them
some noisy topers, till a word caught
his ear, and that word was "Anna
belle." Then a look not good to see
settled upon his face, and nearer to the
wall he crept and listened.
"Anthony, why art such a poltroon?"
angrily exclaimed one of the speakers.
"I tell you this coup must be success
ful, and surely we are not in such good
odor with the commander that we can
afford to let slip any opportunity. More
over," he added, "the girl Annabelle
will aid us."
"Think you the jade is faithful?" de
manded another. "Meseenis she look
too fairly 011 yonder puppy, Warrell."
"Pshaw, but she dupes the poor fool!"
said the tirst. with a hoarse luugh.
"She said as much herself."
Warrell, on the other side of the wall,
gritted his teeth in his rage and felt
frantically for his rapier.
"Then reveal your plan, De Lacy,"
growled a third impatiently. "Time
flies, and tomorrow is soon here."
"Briefly, then, it is to seize about
twoscore of the chief farmers and hus
bandmen of Lexington and Concord as
hostages, then demand a general sur
render under threat of executing our
prisoners. This will effectually put
down the trouble which is brewing in
the quarter and at the same time do us
a world of good with Cornwallis. To
morrow we will act. Are ye agreed?"
"We are," returned the others.
As the conversation ceased Warrell
turned away, and immediately the
rumble of a carriage and the hoof beats
of galloping horses sounded on his ear.
"She comes," he muttered. "Aud now
for the truth."
As the stage dashed up before the
door he stepped Into the courtyard and
assisted a young lady, heavily veiled,
to alight; then, leading the way, he en
tered the Inn, closely followed by his
companion.
"You are come." he whispered, "Now,
by the heavens above, speak truly. I
adjure you!"
"What?" she asked.
"Is it possible you deceive me?"
"Jaffrey, I am as true as the eternal
skies."
They entered the breakfast room and
were astonished to find four Britisli of
ficers standing near the lire. They
seemed very merry.
"What!" exclaimed one, laughing.
'"Tis our little Annabelle."
The girl shrank back, while JafTrey's
rage rose high, for he recognized the
plotter's voice.
"What mean you, sirrah?" he de
manded. "You owe the lady an apolo
gy "
"110, ho!" laughed the soldier. "This
is the Yankee lover, is it? Ho, ho!"
And he turned his back impudently on
the pair.
"Aye, and I know your precious
plot!" shouted Jaffrey, whipping out
his blade. "On yuard, sir!"
"What!" roared the otllcer. "Then,
indeed, lias your time come! Down
with him, lads!"
In an Instant four blades were play
ing about his head, and the American
was in extreme peril.
By the fierceness of his attacks he
beat down the officer's Made and in a
twinkling had passed the steel through
his body; then, Hinging a chair at the
man between hiin and the door, he
leaped over his prostrate form and
flung shut the stout oaken portal. As
be braced himself against it he was as
tonished to see A una belle standing be
side him.
"Behold!" she murmured. "The
latch has been lost. They may easily
force their way out."
" 'Tis true," he muttered moodily.
"Their plot will lie carried out despite
me."
"Not so," she made reply. "Behold
the proof that 1 am an American,
though my kin be English."
She thrust her arm through the two
openings for the missing bolt and thus
with her flesh and blood barred the
door.
"Fly, my love, posthaste to Concord!
Warn the people and bid them rise to
arms. For some time can 1 hold these
men here, for there is no other exit.
So go, my love, and at once!"
He madly kissed her lips and then
dashed to tlie stables. Two minutes
later he was galloping for the lives of
many men through the darkness and
gloom of that April night. Long ere
morning broke there were arming and
gathering in Concord town, and what
they did next day is history.
For Annabelle was faithful and held
the door till her arm was broken,
which is just what an American girl
would do.

A COLONEL ROM
CONNECTICUT
[Copyright, 1903, by C. U. Lewis.]
"Colonel Israel Alexander Perkins,
Connecticut, P. S. A.," was the way be
was registered at the Near View House,
lnterlaken, Switzerland, and there was
no mistaking his nationality. He not
only looked American, but he spelled
Connecticut in every movement. He
was as much of a downright Yankee as
the man who invented wooden nut
megs, and he had all tie- innocence and
ingenuousness of the chap who sold the
tirst dozen to confiding housewives.
Ever since landing in London the
colonel had been telling a tisli story. It.
was the same old story over and over,
and lie told It from five to twenty
times a day, according to circumstances.
He told it to men of all nationalities. It
made no difference whether his listener
could speak English or not. He told it
In hotel reading rooms, at the table,
on the train, on the boat, on the ve
randa.
Everybody thought him a liar, and it
was singular that the European public
stood It so long, but it was only after
he reached lnterlaken and had repeat
ed his story for the twentieth time in
two days that an Englishman who had
bumped up against him at several re
sorts made up his mind that the thing
had gone far enough.
He took half a dozen other tourists
into his confidence, and as a result a
certain Frenchman who was stopping
at another resort was sent for. The
news went around that M. d'Artagen,
the famous duelist, was to arrive. He
had killed seven different men on the
field of honor. He was a man who
hated a liar and never hesitated to in
terrupt a man telling a tall story. Pare
was taken that Colonel Perkins should
be thoroughly informed, ami as gently
as possible he was advised to hold on
to his fish story during the duelist's
stay. His answer was:
"That story ought to interest him,
but if he don't want to hear it lie
ueedn't. I'm not forcing it on any
body."
D'Artagen arrived on a certain even
ing and had been ureviously coached
as to the part he was to play. Colonel
Perkins was introduced to liim as soon
as possible, and lie spent about two
minutes sizing the duelist up. Then he
observed:
"General, if you have come here to
fish you'll be disappointed. You can't
get a bite once a week. If you want
fishing as is fishing you'll goto the
United States. Lord, but what fishing
I've had In the Connecticut river! Just
to give you an idea of how the shad
bite there in April I'll tell you what 1
did one day. I went out by myself and
caught li»,000 shad In ten hours with
hook and line, and I must have had all
of 19,000 bites that didn't hook the fish.
It took a span of big horses to draw
my catch home That's what you call
fishing, though my record don't begin
with some others."
That was the old, old story. The fig
ures had not be*n decreased to 18,000
nor raised to -0,000. The fish had nev
er been named fls suckers or mullet,
but always as sbad. People had been
obliged to swallow the story, tails and
all, or call the colonel a liar, and they
had swallowed an I moved on. But the
colonel's time had come at last. When
he had finished h's story the duelist
observed:
"Sir, 1 have the great honor of call
ing you a liar!"
"A liar! Good lands, but what for?"
exclaimed Perkins.
"Had you caught one lish per minute
you could have caught only GOO in ten
hours. It was utterly impossible. Ten
men could not have done it. You took
me for a fool and lied to iue."
"But did you ever lish in the Con
necticut river?"
"Never."
"Did you ever tish for sbad?"
"Never."
"Then why call me a liar? llring a
notary public here and I'll make atiida
vit to what I said. I fished for ten
hours anil the fish numbered"—
"Sir, you insult me!" exclaimed the
duelist as he arose.
"Shoo!"
"And he who insults me must fight.
There is my card. Have you a friend
here? Let us fight at sunrise."
"By gum. but what a peppery man!"
said the colonel as the other withdrew.
"Well, if he wants to fight 1 suppose
I'll have to accommodate him. Indeed,
I've got to tight because he didn't be
lieve my story. I never tell a story that
I ain't willing to back up. Will one of
you fellers aet as my second in the af
fair?"
The Englishman volunteered, but the
conspiracy didn't call for a duel. The
idea was to scare Colonel Israel Alex
ander Perkins back to his Connecticut
river and its shad. He was told that he
would be kilU-d, no matter what the
weapons, and was advised to call for
his bill and seek a change of climate.
Not ouly one man advised him thus,
but half a dozen, but each and every
one received the same reply:
"Sorry, sir, but 1 can't do it. Tlie
state of Connecticut would never for
give me, and I could never hope to
catch another shad. The duel must
on. Under the circumstances 1 couldn't
even accept an apology from the
Frenchman."
When it was realized that the colonel
was forcing things lie was advised a*
the challenged party to choose swords,
but he held out for revolvers and could
not be persuaded. There might be a
chance to load with blank cartridges,
but they dared not risk it. Colonel Per
kins had twinkle in liis eye that
meairt solid shot when he stood up tt>
aim.
There was nothing to do for D'Arta
gen but to un the risk or get out, and.
as he had to hankering after hot lead
he packed up his grip and was miles,

One afternoon, when the Duke of
Edinburgh and Sir Arthur Sullivan,
having finished a duet, were sitting
down ton homely "dish of tea" pro
vided by .Mrs. Sullivan, the composer's
mother, it suddenly occurred to her to
start the subject of family names and
titles, which puzzled the h<mhl lady con
siderably.
"Sir," she said, "your family name is
Uuclpii."
"My dear mother," began Arthur.
"But it is. isn't it?" she persisted.
••Certainly." replied the duke, much
amused. "\\ hat s the matter with It,
Mrs. Sullivan?"
"Oh. nothing." returned the excellent
old lady musingly, "(inly I can't un
derstand why you don't call yourself
by your proper name."
Arthur wanted to explain to her, but
the duke would not allow liini to.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of in
the name of Ouclpli, Mis. Sullivan." lie
said gravely
"That's exactly what 1 say," persist
ed Arthur's mother; "nothing what
ever as far as I know, and, that being
so, why you should not call yourself by
It I can't understand." —F. C. Unr

On a railroad between New York and
Albany there is a tunnel which forms
a link between two contrasting kinds
of scenery. Going northward the trav
eler passes through flat, uninteresting
country shut in by hills; then he darts
Into a tunnel. When he emerges a pan
orama of the Hudson river bursts sud
denly upon his view. There before him
Is the Tappan Zee, the broadest part of
the river, teeming with all manner of
<Taft, from a tiny skiff to an immense
steamer, while beyond and about tower
the highlands.
"Delightful!" said a gentleman sit
ting opposite me the first time I wit
nessed this transformation scene.
"Entrancing!" 1 replied.
"I have noticed your expression," he
added sympathetically, "because the
tunnel is of especial Interest to me. In
it came for me a transformation as
marked as that between its south and
north ends."
I begged for the story, and he gave It

tended to marry me with or without
his consent, whereupon he directed her
to prepare for a trip to Europe.
"Delia was too young to openly refuse
to obey, and it was evident that our
affair must be managed clandestinely.
I was stationed at the time at one of
the forts in New York harbor, but was
ordered to report for duty on a certain
date at West Point. Before leaving
I was astonished at receiving word
from Delia that she had concluded
to obey her father and goto Europe, to
be gone three years. Time would show
whether we were so attached that we
would be of the same mind on her re
turn. For herself her heart would con
tinue as it was, but the pressure upon
her was so strong that she feared a
marriage of convenience would be her
inevitable fate.
"I replied to her note both coldly and
despondently.
" 'I goto my new post tomorrow,' I
wrote in conclusion, 'while I believe
you sail in a day or two for Europe.
I consider this note a last farewell.'
"The evening before my intended de
parture I received a note from Delia,
brought openly by one of her father's
servants, saying that she would like to
send me a souvenir by which to re
member her. It had not yet been sent
home, but If I would inform her by
what train I intended going she would
geud It to the station. I gave the train
time verbally to the servant. Taking
her action to be submission to her fa
ther's will, I had neither the heart nor
the complacency to write another fare
well.
"In the morning at the station the
same servant appeared and handed me
a Ihix containing a little gold heart. It
j gave me no satisfaction. Indeed, if
j she had told me that she did not love
' me I think I would have the more eas
: lly overcome my disappointment. I
! boarded the train, which pulled out of
the station, and I began a journey over
the stretch of country we have just
passed, it is needless to say that my
, meditations were no more pleasing
than the scenery. I sat with folded
arms and head down, only occasionally
glancing out of the window. As for
1 pay fellow passengers, they did not in
the least interest inc. Finally the low
htlls on either side shut us in closer
1 nnd closer, and I began to think that
! we must soon run either over or under
1 them. Then suddenly we struck the
tunnel.
"The few moments we were passing
through it were the most gloomy I have
ever known. I disliked tunnels and
never entered one without experiencing
! something of their soniberness. In that
dark passage It seemed to me was cou
; centrated all the sadness of a life —dls
appointment, the consciousness that I
had been wrecked, blighted, liublttered,
! left to live without that which would
have made life worth living.
"Then there came a few seconds of
dawning light, and this beautiful view
sprang into existence. For the moment
j my attention was drawn from my be
reavement and concentrated upon Ihe
; scene. But another matter immediate
ly drew it aside. When we entered the
; tunnel I had sat alone; now some one
was sitting beside me. I turned and
' looki-d into the face of" —
I "Delia?"
"How did you divine It?"
"No other transition could have com
pared with entering and leaving the
tunnel. But goon; explain."
"Delia to disarm all suspicion showed
; her father her letters to me. The ask
• lng for my train was also a ruse to
know wheu I would go. Disguised as
an old woman sh« had gone to the sta>
j tion, entered the same car as I and rid
deu behind me, waiting an opportunit"
i to address me without attracting atte
tion. When we entered the tunnel it
' occurred to her to take advantage o f
i the darkness to make herself known
! to me, and the temptation to throw off
her disguise was too strong to be re
sisted."
"And the passengers?"
"I saw several of them looking at us
suspiciously, but one by one they seen
j ed to make up their minds that tj. j*
had been mistaken. In a short time we
were at West Point and before I re
ported at headquarters had visited the
chaplain, and Delia and 1 were tuade
one." ANTHONY DEANE.

FIRMER SHOCK S CLAIM
[Original.]
Years ago when railroads were new
and cattle guards were not perfected
the It.and D. Railroad company
received a bill from Farmer Aaron
Shock for one brlndle cow killed by
a locomotive, the amount claimed be
ing The claim was duly made
out and presented to the station agent.
Now, railroad companies are prover
bially particular about their employees
doing business expeditiously. Never
theless while the It. C. and D.'s em
ployees would have risked dismissal
for not forwarding promptly any claim
the company might have on others
they would also risk dismissal for for
warding promptly any claim against
the company. It must be admitted
that the auditor was in no hurry in
either receiving or paying the account
for Farmer Shock's cow. The auditor
110 sooner laid eyes on the claim than
it went into the pigeonhole where were
kept those claims which it was not
considered necessary to pay soon, If at
all—in other words, from claimants
without the ability to push them.
Farmer Shock, who fully expected
to receive cash for "his cow as soon as
the president of the road should re
ceive his bill, was much disappointed
at the delay.
"Aaron."' said his wife, "does them
big city people pay bills onless they
have to?"
"Waal, I reckon it don't make no dif
ference. I can't make 'em."
"Mebbe you can."
"How?"
"Waal, there's no water they kin git
hereabout to feed the tank at the sta
tion except from the creek that runs
through our farm. You've often said
you had a mind to cut away some dirt
where the creek turns and let the wa
ter go down around the hills. Why
don't you <lo it?"
Aaron scratched his head, then pick
ed up a picX and a spade, and in a
couple of hours the little stream was
flowing In another channel.
The next day the station agent came
up to the Shock farmhouse to tiud out
what was the matter with the creek.
When the change was discovered he
told Farmer Shock that he would send
a gang to turn the water back again,
whereupon the farmer declared that if
he did he would "shoot 'em for tres
passin'."
The station agent reported the mat
ter to headquarters. This time there
was no delay in transmission. The
water tank was useless without water,
and engines must be fed from It. The
attorney for the company was sum
moned and questioned as to the farm
er's legal rights in turning the stream.
The attorney returned to his office,
hunted through a library of law books
and reported that It was pretty hard to
keep a man from doing what he liked
on his own farm, but if the stream did
not originate on the premises some
thing might be done. A deadhead tele
gram was at once dispatched to the
station agent for the Information, who,
after investigation, reported that the
creek originated from a spring a mile
from Shock's house, but on property
owned by hiiu.
By this time a number of engines
had given out at the station for want
of water and were sidetracked there.
The attorney for the company ad
vised that a compromise be effected,
but the president declared that he'd
Htop running trains before he would
dicker with an ignorant countryman.
There was another tank at a station
below the one near Farmer Shock's,
and the president gave orders that the
locomotives he provided with water to
last till they reached this station.
By this time Farmer Shock had got
wind of the fact that the source of the
stream was an important matter, and
he knew that the spring on his farm—
a very copious spring -was the source
of all streams crossing the railroad In
that neighborhood. Fie concluded to
see what he could do toward turning
the water away from the last named
station. Possessing a pasture through
which ran the stream that fed the
tank there, after examination he found
that by damming he could give the
stream a bend that would turn it into
a small river which flowed near. The
consequence was that one morning the
creek at the second tank station was
found dried up.
This settled It that Fanner Shock's
claim should have attention. The au
ditor of the road was sent to see him,
and, disclaiming any liability for the
cow, which had no business to get in
the way, offered the farmer 50 per
cent of the claim, or $12.30 as a pres
ent. The farmer stuck to his bill of
?L.\" and presented an additional bill of
$l5O for incidentals. When the auditor
asked him to specify the items he said
it was the work he had done In turn
ing the streams from their natural
channels.
This unheard of audacity in charg
ing a railroad company for the means
used in injuring it was too much for
the auditor, who left the house in high
dudgeon and reported to the president
that he had found It Impossible to treat
with the unreasonable farmer.
A meeting of the directors was called
and the matter laid before them, with
the result of sending the attorney to
the farmer with orders to settle the
claim before returning. The attorney
endeavored to show the farmer that
In law he would have no case, but the
farmer was too stupid to understand
the point and stood by his demands,
whereupon the attorney, who knew
very well that the farmer could turn
his own spring wherever he liked, pro
vided those upon whose property he
turned It did not object, drew on the
company for $175, which he paid the
farmer, who agreed to turn the water
back again.

TIMBER IN RIVER BEDS.
Fnrluiir tivnitii the Invrnlor of *
Method to Heewver It.
"If SollK' selieilie eoultl be devised,"
said a Stillwater (Miun.i man, "by
w liieLi tlie sunken logs which fill' the
beds of rivers and creeks in the log
ging section.! of tins country <ouM only
be recovf red. iminense fortunes would
be made. Along the St. Croix waters it
Is climated tliat logs enough are iiu
bedii d in the sand of river bottoms to
keep mills running for years. Under
present conditions the loss is total, for
110 successful method has ever been de
vised to effect this saving.
"<>i • asionally logs cut years ago are
fori < d by the washings of floods from
their sand beds and driven upon the
phores. where the action of sun and
wind dries them out sufficiently so that
they will float down stream, but the
percentage of logs recovered is small,
and millions of dollars' worth of prop
erty is lost beyond recovery until some
enterprising genius invents a machine
or process to recover the timber.
"At Stillwater logs occasionally come
to the sorting booms bearing marks in
use half a century ago, and when they
appear the old lumbi rnien grow remi
niscent of men who have been long
forgotten, but who were important
operators in the pioneer logging days
of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
"No possible estimate can be made
of the amount of tinilter thus lost, but
lumbermen estimate that the rivers of
Wisconsin, in the value of the logs
buried in their sands, have fortunes of
millions of dollars if the logs could be
recovered. Wisconsin has been one of
the big pine states, and your Chip
pewa, Wisconsin, St. t'roix and Me
nominee rivers and their tributaries
contain fortunes in sunken timber.
"Strange as it may appear, the value
of the timber Is not lessened, even after
it has been submerged for half or
quarter of a century. Efforts have been
occasionally made to recover sunken
logs. At one time a company was or
ganized at Stjllwafcer to dredge streams
and thus recover some of the timber,
but the plan did not work with any
great degree of success, this method
being found too expensive. Some one
will come along some day with a plan,
and this immensely valuable product,
uow lost, will be recovered."—Milwau
kee Sentinel.
