"All aboard!" shouted the conductor
wamlngly. The bishop, with a final
Laud pressure, tinned to tin* car steps.
"Now, don't forget," he said earnest
ly. "I aui not desirous of seeming to
preach," his kindly smile flashing out
for a second, "but If the opportunity
comes give a fellow creature a chance.
The way to make people trustworthy
Is to trust them." he added Impressive
ly. The listener nodded. Clad as he
was in rough corduroy trousers thrust
Into long boots, t>lue flannel shirt and
handkerchief knotted loosely about the
powerful throat he looked a man to in
fluence others, and the bishop, no
mean reader of men, was satisfied.
"I wish that I could have remained
a bit longer," he thought regretfully as
he settled himself comfortably in the
wide seat. "Four days is really too
short for a parochial visit."
The man left behind heartily echoed
the bishop's sentiments, it had been
like a breath out of another world, this
few days' Intercourse with a lofty and
cultivated personality. I'nder his own
calm blue eyes lay an ardent and en
thusiastic nature, which had as yet
found but little to develop It. The
bishop's Inspiring talk had awakened
an Instant response that now made It
self felt as an unsatisfied want. His
eyes followed the train like those of a
hungry dog. then drifted back to the
primitive station, the long, straight
line of tracks and the siding where a
row of freight cars stood waiting for
the morning, with a vague distaste for
it all.
"Makes a fellow sorter want some
thing l>etter," he reflected, turning
slowly away. "(Jive some fellow crea
ture a chance, hey? Well, there's plen
ty out here needs it. I tare say I do
myself."
With a grim chuckle he strode on
down the narrow cabin lined street,
where the afternoon sun was now
flinging long shadow s across Its ugli
ness. Men in groups hung about the
doors of rival saloons. Several hailed
him, but Robinson only shook his head
absently. Then, as his eyes fell on a
man slouching lazily along, his face
brightened.
"That i»esky tramp has been hanging
about for a week asking for work," he
thought. "Suppose 1 try him. Here,
yon," he called aloud. The man, star
tled, came forward suspiciously, his
eye on Robinson's hip pocket. The lat
ter frowned.
"Here, wake tip," he growled. "You
say you want work. Go up to my cab-
In then, tlx it up and then -then wait
till I come," his invention giving out.
The man only stared, and Robinson's
wrath overflowed.
"Don't stand gaping there like a
blasted idiot," he roared. "Get along
with you and double quick too. See
you have things well cleaned up by the
time I get there, or I'll make it hot for
you. Here's the key."
Robinson's methods were convincing,
and the man after one glance to assure
himself of the speaker's sincerity
turned and departed in haste. With a
relieved sigh Robinson crossed to the
nearest saloon.
"It's on me, boys," he remarked
cheerfully. "What'll you have?"
When finally Robinson mounted the
hill to his cabin night had fallen, and
the memory of the tramp had entirely
escaped him. To his astonishment the
cabin door stood open, a unprec
edented, and on the hearth lay the
last embers of a fire. Recollection
came swiftly, and with hurried fingers
he lighted n candle to gaze about the
tidied room. Everything seemed in or
der. Hut the man was gone. and. with
an exclamation, Robinson darted to
the cupboard, where were kept his
dearest possessions. Those new boots!
One glance sufficed the boots were
gone. In their place stood a pair of
rusty high lows, and at that Rob
inson's ra«e found words. !n fluent and
picturesque English he cursed emphat
ically and categorically himself, his be
longings, the tramp and all belonging
to him. He even began on the bishop,
but checked that. The bishop's theory
might be good.
"Hut out here it's durncd poor prac
tice," thought Robinson ruefully.
"Where can the skunk have gone? He
must have 'em on."
Theft- wai* practically only one way
out of the town the railroad and a
sudden remembrance of the watting
freight cars Hashed across Robinson's
mind. To seize the lantern, light it
and lock tiie door behind him w as but
the work of a minute. In the next lie
had started down the hill on a dog
trot, the expression of his month bod
ing 111 for the tramp were he can-less
enough to be caught.
Into the dark, dirty car, where lay a
few tattered relies, turned out now and
then by Irate conductor or busy freight
hand, but always slipping back, came
Robinson with determined mien, lan
tern til one hind, pistol in the other.
"Hold up your feet," he said sharply.
The men roused dazed and protesting
from heavy slumbers, stared bewilder
ed!/ as they thrust out feet drawn
from beneath straw or sacking What
new game was this? Robinson, heed
less of question or criticism, after a
quick flash of the lantern, hurried to
the next car, leaving a wake of dis
gusted chaff.
Through four cars plodded Robinson,
and then, in the fifth, lie received a
sho<k From the darkness came a
voice unmistakably declining to show
the required foot. Robinson's voice
softened ominously
"I think you had better." he began
gently; "otherwise 1 shall have to make
you."
"Oh, please." the voice was almost a
wail, "let me alone I haven't done
you any harm. Go away."
"Go away," repeated Robinson, fair
ly stunned. "< Jo away And my
boots"—
"Your boots! I don't know anything
about your boots; indeed I don't.
l'lease:"
"Feet up now," interrupted Kohiuson
curtly. "Here, let me see you," slip
ping the lantern closer A tall slender
boy In ragged clothing was revealed,
gazing up with white face and implor
tug eyes. No one else was In the car,
•nd for a second Kobinson hesitated
"Rut you may be a pal," he decided.
"Put 'em up at once. Lord, what a
fuss about nothing!" as a pair of small,
travel stained boots made reluctant
appearance. "You needn't worry about
those They look more like a woman's
feet," with a short laugh The sound
of a smothered sob reached Ills ear,
and Robinson, starting, bent lower. "A
woman! Doggoned if It ain't a worn
an!" he uttered slowly "Say, what
are you doing here?" with a complete
change of tone. The sobs deepened.
"I—l'm trying to get east," she wept.
-Mill DAOIUU uri* T'v— '
Rut uo'w came you nere tn!s v.*ayT'
The girl after a quick glance at the
handsome, interested face felt her cour
age returning.
"I went out with my father," she be
gan timidly. "Then he married again,
and his wife she wasn't good to me.
Hut dad always looked after me until
he got killed in a tltfbt. She got worse
after that she wanted me—l couldn't
stand It," with a wavering look. "So I
took some of father's clothes and got
away. I hadn't much money, so I had
to steal rides, and nobody suspected
until you tonight. You see, I couldn't
wear father's boots." The big eyes
filled again with tears, and Robinson
felt like a condemned criminal.
"< >h, say, don't cry," he muttered
clumsily. In spite of its sheath of dtrt
and grime he could detect the fair pret
tin ess of the girl's ftrce, and a growing
admiration for her pluck made him
grind his teeth at the Idea of what she
might have to meet. It was ridiculous
for a girl to think of such a thing. Yet
he couldn't ask her togo back. Nor
could he keep her unless - With a Bud
den brightening of his countenance, he
set down the lantern and took both her
hands in his.
"Look here," said he diffidently, "I'm
a poor lot perhaps. I haven't got much
saved, and mine ain't much of a home.
Itut such as It Is it's yours if you will
only take it."
The girl, her eyes widening In bewil
derment, drew back.
"You mean?" she asked faintly.
"I mean I mean that I want you for
my wife, little woman. Of course I
ain't near good enough," huskily. "But
I'll treat you well, and—l've l>een lone
some, for a fact, though I didn't know
it. s » if you could only see your way
clear to favoring ine—to giving me my
chance" His tone sank to entreaty,
and the girl, who had listened incredu
lously. uttered a little cry and dropped
her forehead to the hands that still
held hers. Arm, steady hands that any
woman could trust. Robinson's clasp
tightened.
"You mean that you will?" he said
excitedly us a shamed little nod an
swered him. "God bless you, little wo
man. Say," struck by a jubilant
thought, "I just bet you the bishop will
come back and marry us."
And the bishop did.
WILD BILL'S FIRST FIGHT.
lie Wan Wounded, hnl Klllfil Sl* of
the McKmitllnn (IKMR.
Wild Bill, whose real name was
James Hlckok, first came west In 1K57
Kiid drove an ox team on the plains for
Majors Ac Russell in 1800. He subse
quently engaged himself to the over
lain! stage company as stock tender and
was putin charge of a new stag* sta
tion on Rock creek, near the old Mc-
Kandlas station, which was generally
known as Robbers' Roost. This was
the headquarters for the McKandlas
gang, a crowd that had held together
fcince the Missouri-Kansas border ruf
fian days und generally had things
their own way. A man named Fleklln,
and a number one stage hand, WHS the
superintendent. He tried to buy out
the McKandlas station; but, fulling in
this, he built a new one near by, put
ting young Hlckok In charge. Up to
that time he had never experienced
trouble with any one and was not like
ly to have friction, especially with the
old station keeper, McKandlas, or his
men.
In the winter of lR0<)-ttl McKandlas
and his nephew and four other men
passed by the new station on horse
back, leading an old man who was
afoot. They had a rope around the
old fellow's neck, and occasionally they
would take a few turns around the
horn of the saddle, mulee a run on the
rope and Jerk the old man down and
drug him on the ground until he was
nearly dead. The only spite they had
against him was that he was a North
Methodist preacher. If Wild Bill was
anything he was an abolitionist and
free soiler and loyal to the United
States. The McKandlas crowd was
planning to make a raid on several sta
tions to secure the stock and go south.
They told young Hlckok they would
tuke the stock. He replied that he
would be there.
When they returned late in the even
ing two stopped at the corral, two
went to the front and two to the back
door of the cabin or hut. Hlckok told
them he would shoot the first mun wbo
took down the bars of the corral. The
elder McKandlas tired at Htckok. but
missed him. Hlckok returned the fire
with a rltle and shot McKandlas in
•:he heart. The next shot from Hlckok
killed the nephew, und the two fell at
the front door. Just then the two at
the back door opened Are. One «hot
from a double barreled gun lodged
seven full grown buckshot Into Hick
ok's right side and breast,two of which
entered his lungs. The two men who
stopped ut the corral came to the as
sistance of the two men at the house.
Hlckok was then in a bund to hand
fiKht with four men. He killed three
of them in the house end wounded the
other so badly that he died on the
prairie. -£MUIVW Field and Farm.

also black pepper and cayenne; roll It
up tight and tie it with a tape, patting
a skewer at each end, or roll it in thin
muslin to keep in the seasoning; cover
it up close in a pan of cold water and
simmer for four hours. When you re

BIELA'S COMET.
It* Sen «nt lon AI ( «r«'fr Ilriorr It Van-
From Our Mtflit.
All Europe was in pangs of terror
when ill 1832 it was announced that
Biela's comet would cross ttie earth's
path. People died of terror, and so se
rious did the scare become that a Pari
sian professor begged the Academy of
Science to publicly refute the assertion.
The comet came, blazed awhile in the
sky and vanished. Its period of revo
lution round the sun being Just under
seven .wars. It came
was due once more early In 184 d. But
In that year, Instead of one comet, two
appt red! The original comet hsd di
\ Med into two parts, each of which
I. d -i eparate existence, though their
paths were the same.
In is.vj the two comets again came
Hying Into sight. Their path In 18T>9
was too close to the sun for telescopic
scrutiny, but in IW><> it was expected
that they would be plainly visible. But
the double comet never turned up. Nor
has It ever been seen since.
Comets are naturally somewhat un
reliable. They are of very flimsy tex
ture One great astronomer Indeed has
said that you could pack the tail of the
average comet in a portmanteau. So If
they pass too near to Jupiter or any of
the big planets they are very apt to get
' caught and so to disappear completely.

WHEREAS, a certain jietition sign
ed by tbe majority in interest and

Burgess and Town Council of the Bor

ed meeting of the said Town Council,
setting forth.among other things, that
the part or portion of Cross street, in
the said Borough, which is crossed at
grade by the tracks of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railway Company
is dangerous to public travel and is a
constant menace to life and limb in
its present location, and that a much
safer and more practical route for all
such public travel could be readily ob
tained by an under grade crossing ol
the said railway at "A" street there
by connecting ttie latter street direct
ly with Walnut street,in the said Ror
ougti; that it was therefore expedient
that such part or portion of Gross

nut street be properly vacated and thai
in lieu thereof said "A" street be ex
tended fioin its inteisection with Col
umbia and Nicholas avenues in a
southwardly direotion, under, aud at
right angles with, the tracks of the
said railway company, to Waluut
street aforesaid; that the petitioner
was the solo owner of all property
thus abutting on the linn of the pro
posed improvement and as such was
the only party entitled to statutory
notice preliminary and subsequent to
tlie enactment of an ordinance in such
behalf ; that the said petitioner there
by and therein waived all such statu- j
tory notice to which it would he oth
erwise legally entitled, and respect
fully requested that the neces-ary and
proper ordinance for the above purpose
be at once duly enacted without any
other preliminary or subsequent pro

AND WHEKEAS, it thus clearly
appears that a majority in interest and
number of owners of ptoperty abut

provement are in favor of the s:»id im
provement aud that such improvement
