| MISTAKEN JU IDENTITY j By FRANK H. SWEET ;|; Copyright, 1905. by Frank It. Sweet jj The train stopped only a few mo ments, but the conductor and a porter bustled out, with deference in their every movement, and assisted the one lady Into the car with much bowing. The train was already in action again when Enos stumbled breathlessly up the steps and sought to enter the car. The conductor was standing inside tlie door. "This is a parlor car, sir," he said. "Oh, that's all right." Enos answered quickly. "Extra. I s'pose?" "Of course; but 1 doubt if there's any unoccupied space. I'orter!" The car attendant was Just return ing from the lady's chair. He stopped Inquiringly, dusting cloth in hand. "Have you any spare seats?" "Just one, sah, down t'other end." "Very well. Olve it to this gentle man." The conductor turned as he spoke and preceded him a few paces down the car, then stopped and bent over tlie chair of a lady. As he passed, Enos leaned toward her with a diffident "Hello, Martha," but the increasing noise of the train drowned his voice, and he stumbled on with crimsoning face. The lady had not even perceived him. Enos followed the porter through the car. hat in hand, with a feeling that he was Intruding into some one's drawing room. Passengers were seated or re clining in various attitudes—some read ing, some talking, but most of them with their attention fixed upon the chair over which the conductor was leaning. Enos had never been In a drawing room car before, but even amid all this elegance and among these strangers he perceived that Martha was understood and appreciated better than he had understood and appreciated her himself. He heard a subdued "Who Is she?" from one side and a "Don't know, but evidently a somebody," from the other. He turned his chair so that he could watch her and still not be especially conspicuous. The conductor or porter was at h«r chair every few minutes trying to devise new means for her comfort. Curtains were drawn or raised, a ventilator opened to let in more air, the window closed to keep out a draft. Even the paper boy seemed to catch the infection, for he was continually leaving periodicals for her to examine at her leisure Enos watched her with mingled feel ings of surprise and pleasure and per haps with some depression. Heretofore he had looked upon her as in a way be longing to him. Now, with the entire car paying her homage, he wondered at his audacity. He wished that he had been bold enough to ask straight out to be her escort on this little trip instead of watching over her, as he was, from a distance. He wished that he had pressed his suit more assidu- ously and marveled ut his [(resumption In pressing it as strongly as he had. The conductor came through the car, 1 and a man in the next chair reached j out and touched his arm. Tan you tell me who she is?" he asked In a low voice. "The car seems to be getting curious over so much at tention." The conductor answered in a voice equally low, but Enos caught the; words. "She's Mrs. Roche, wife of Cattle 112 King Roche, you know. He's making a deal for otir railroad. That's why our management is anxious to show him attention We received notice that she would take our train at a certain point and for us to show her all the courtesy In our power. Seems a very nice little woman, but a little, just a little, too pleased with everything. Gives one an Impression that she hasn't traveled much. But 1 have heard that Roche made hla money very suddenly, su per haps the attention is a little over whelming." Enos had turned away before this and was agnin watching Martha. He had heard that a man of the name of Roche was negotiating for the railroad, aad he now allowed his glance to wan d«r up the car, tiuaily fixing upon a richly dressed woman in the chair be yond Martha as the one who was a lit tle overwhelmed by attention. She did look self conscious and, he thought, Just a little supercilious too. As they stood upon the platform at their destination u half hour later . watching the train glide away Martha saw Enos turn toward her, not slowly and diffidently, as was his wont, but with head erect and both hands out. And somehow after the experience on, the train it did not seem strange, but rather a natural sequence. To have seen him awkawrd and ill at ease just then would have been a shock. It was so much nicer for men to be easy and courteous, and Enos was king among] men. She put her hands Into his naturally, impulsively. "Oil, Enos," she breathed, "wasn't it beautiful? I never Imagined It could i be so nice in a train. Why didn't you ' tell me?" "Well, I d >n't reckon I knew," he ae- | knowledged frankly. "1 was never in one of these parlor cars before, and it Isn't so awfully nice In one of the others when It's crowded with folks. Hut say, Martha," still holding her hands and allowing something to come Into his voi'-e which she had never heard there before, but which brought a sofl color to her cheeks, "ymi looked awfully pretty in tli >se nice clothes, thi.* prettiest 1 hare *n.. n There wasn't a woman In tne car who could touch you in looks, not even (lie one who's to buy the railroad. I just sat and looked at you and wished I'd got things set tied more solid and wondered if I'd ever dare to speak to you at all. But I Just can't wait any longer. Martha" his voice quivering with suspense—"not a minute. I»o you s'pose you could learn to love me a little not all at once, you know, but just a little at a time, as you can. I didn't intend to be so hasty and inconsiderate, but that ride seems to have stirred me all up somehow. But don't you f»-el upset. Martha. Just take all the time you want to think it over, dear." The flush deepened, IHd she hear aright v Had that last word really come from Enos' slow lips? "I don't need any time to think it over, Enos," she answered in a low voice, but firmly. "I do love you." She might have added that this an swer had been ready and waiting for him more than ten years. "No; do you really, Martha?" He made an Impulsive Miovement, but was suddenly conscious that the plat form was well filled with people and that some of them were looking at him curiously. "I'll get a carriage for you, dear," he said hurriedly, "apd and I guess, If you don't mind. I'll ride along. I never have ridden with you yet not right closp by, you know." When the carriage was procured and he had helped her in, almost timidly, she looked up into his face. "I don't believe that I ever shall for get that train ride, Euos," she said. "Nor I." heartily. "Sitting there watching you and seeing all the men round made me hasty and inconsider ate. But I'm glad of it now. I suppose it might have bet n a long time before I felt I'd a r'ght to speak." She caught her breath suddenly, her face paling. "Oh, Enos," she whispered, "1 I nev er paid them. You told me about get ting a ticket, but I was late, and they hurried me to the car and were so nice to me that I I never thought about paying. What shall I do? And they were so awfully nice too." He looked puzzled. "It does seem sort of funny," he ac knowledged. "Ceuerally they're pretty particular about pay. I wonder they didn't ask" "They didn't want to hurt my feel ings, Enos. They were awfully nice, but I'm so ashamed." He considered a moment. "You we don't want to be beholden to them any," he said warmly. "I reck on I'd better meet that same train to morrow ami settle with the conductor." "If only you would," in a relieved voice. So the next day Enos was at the sta tion. and when the polite conductor reached the platform he was the first to accost him. A few minutes an 1 the puzzled look left his face, and presently he turned away chuckling. But he only told Martha that there had been a mistake and that the con ductor had accepted the money and asked to 1)!' r >n>embeml t > her. Over rear li«vl llliiiMetf. An old farmer had a choice lot of cows, and a neighbor, seeing the herd in the pasture, asked for how much he could have his pick of one. "Twen ty-live dollars," said the owner. "All right. I'll be around tomorrow and select one." The next day the owner of tlie cows told his hired man to drive the only poor cow in the lot to the barn. Soon the buyer putin an appearance to buy a cow. He missed one, however, and was suspicious. "How is this? You said I could have my pick of the lot. Where is that other cow?" "Oh, that cow you don't want," said the owner. "She is old and no goo], so I placed her in the barn. You don't want her." But the buyer insisted on having that cow. He suspected she was the best one of the lot. "All right, then," said the seller. "Drive that cow out, John." The cow was driven out. and the buyer would not look at the lmt pur chased her at once and drove her home. A day or two afterward he came back and accused the seller of cheating him and wanted him to take the cow back, but the old fellow refused, saying that the buyer bad had his pick. Economy of S;mc«». When Il- iiry Ward Beeclier was on a trip to the far west many years ago he was visited at his hotel in a little mining town by « local celebrity, a man noted as a hunter and scout, and the great preacher was especially cor dial to him. After the caller had gone away one of Mr, Beecher's traveling companions took him to task. "I marvel at tlie warmth of your greeting to that man,"he said. "Why?" "Didn't you notice his eyes—-how re markably close together they were? That is a bad sign." "Not in his ease," said Mr. Beecher. "Didn't you observe his nose? It is h'gli and thin the nose of a great man. With a nn.-e like that, why should his eyes waste sp.'ee by sprawling wide apart? The man Is all right." Mr. Beecher's judgment of his caller was correct, as subsequent history at tested. Short on li.**. During the early days of New Zea land an ap rtogetlc paragraph appeared In an Auckland paper in which the editor explained the absence of lower case "K's" in his Issue. He had fool ishly lent these letters from his font to the government printer, who, having failed to return them, the indulgent reader would please notice that wher ever a blank space appeared In a word the l;4:er "K" was to be understood. There are only fourteen letters In the Maori alphabet, and the • letter "K" is used In that language as frequently as the letter "E" In English. SELLING GOODS.

McClure j 1*.,.... .... .. . ... .... . . • When the men sent out by tlio Big Four L'attle company in search of new pasturage reached the Wind river val ley almost the first thing their eyes rested on was a drove of wild horses numbering thirty. The drove was led by a stallion wliost grace and beauty elicited unbounded admiration. Some <if tiie drove had escaped from bond age t > roam the plains free from the restraints of man, but the leader had surely been foaled In some quiet cove among the foothills, and his mother had kept guard over him while the timber wfllves circled around and gnashed their teeth in hunger. He had been born as free as the air about him, and when his muscles had hardened he had galloped with a herd tip and down the valley for L'OO miles north and south. lie had braved the fierce winters, the cunning of the wolves, the spring of the mountain lion, the greed and cruelty of the red inau. There he stood at the head of his drove, five or six years old, black as midnight, with the exception of the white star til his forehead, and there were a beauty and a defiance about him that appealed to the little band—• all but one. "See me put a bullet inside that star!" he said as he pointed his rifle. "if you do, 1 will put one through your head!" replied the leader, and ho was backed up by his two companions. For five minutes every horse In the drov* stood there with head and tail up and nostrils quivering and flanks heaving, and then at a signal from their leader they were away like the wind. It was through these men that the ItiiC Four outfit heard of the black horse. The coming of men and cattle drove him and Lis fellows down to the south end of tlie valley, a hundred miles away, but now and then they seemed to have a longing to revisit the old pastures, and they came sweeping back. They never came during the day, but always on a moonlight night, and the first any one knew of their presence was the sound of their thud ding hoofs. Three times In the course of a year they stampeded the cattle, and then the foreman ordered their de struction. The next time they came sweeping up the valley they were to be made targets of. There was grumbling among the men. A drove of wild horses is always a peril to a herd of steers, but It went against the grain of the men born In freedom themselves to shoot down other of Cod's creatures. The wolf, the coyote, the lion—yes, they were man's enemies, but the wild horses were his friends. If they were not un der his hand and obedient to him they were still his friends. Ever since men and horses were, a bond of friendship has existed between them. When the horses came again a few shots were fired, one or two wounded, perhaps, and the herd escaped material damage. Tlie foreman saw how it was with his cowboys. It was so with his own con science, and he did not blame them. Hut the drove must go. There were men over at San Bias who would do anything for money, even to the taking of human life. For a certain price per head they undertook to exterminate the drove. There were four of them, and they rode away secretly and swore the foreman to secrecy. They had to. The cowboys would have called It mur der and demanded revenge. The few settlers along the foot of the mountains were rough and hardy men who were dealing with nature In the rough, but they would not have tolerated the slaughter. The quartet found the drove and be gan the work. Sometimes the men killed from the saddle anil sometimes they skulked and sneaked on foot and approached their game as the panther does. It was from no feeling of senti ment that they spared the black borne. It had been agreed from the tirst to spare him till the last and then seek to capture him alive. It took weeks to finish the rest of the drove. When the horses found death on their trail they left tbe broad pastures and sought the green coves, making far into the moun tains. They spread out so as to leave no trail and ceased to whinnv. By day they hid themselves among the pines and cedars and came out ouly at night to feed. The mountain lions aided the hunt ers. They ambushed iiorse after horse and pulled them down, and the fierce timber wolves kept the living in a state of terror. To the north were the cattlemen, to the south advancing civilization. The poor horses were hemmed between. By and by the hunters gleefully re ported that only one horse was left— the black leader. He could not have escaped bullets had they been minded to shoot him, but lie had outwitted thy wolves and the lions, and when his last companion went down he uttered a shrill neigh of defiance and vanished in tin; distance. Word was sent up and down the valley that he was to be hunted to his capture. The cow boys would have nothing to do with it, but there were a score of others who entered Into the eliase gleefully and greedily. The man who captured the black liorse could put his own price on him. The plan of campaign was for men to station themselves up and down the valley at intervals and to keep the black horse moving until he fell from exhaustNtn. it would seem almost as If the summer breeze whispered the plan: of men in in. ears, lie disap j.eare.l - it' the earth had swallowed him up, and In was not found for a month. '1 hen one day a man penetrat ed a wild, dark gorge leading into the mountain, and when he had followed it for a quarter of a mile it debouched into a cove i :n a< res in extent. Water and grass w< ie pit ntil'ul, and the black horse had lived in safety. On the grass laj the decaying bodies of four timber wolve lb.

Three or four times he buried his muzzle in the ice cold waters of the cretks as he came to tliem. The coui ! ing of night LIVE hi IU no relief. It was moonlight and the chase still con tinued. For seventy miles the black hqrge held Lis course up the valley. Then he turned and retraced his steps. Again he went up the valley, but when he had covered fifty miles he stopped ami stood at bay. lie had done all that a horse could do, and more. He had covered 1(H) miles of distance aliuos without breaking his g.iit. When he stopped, signals were given for the men above and below to close in, aud by and by there were a dozen in a circle around him. Lassos were made ready, but the men quarreled among themselves as to who hud the best right. While the war of words was going 011 the black horse could have wheeled and broken through, but he realized that his race was run. It was bright moonllgilt, and lie sto 1 blowing the steam from his nostrils, and his head was never held higher. Ills limbs trembled, but with weak ness instead of fright. His eyes had lost their tire, but the race lie had run was to be talked about for twen.y years to come. Suddenly three or four men begun to whirl their lassos and others pre pared to shoot, and it was then that the black horse uttered a sobbing neigh, tossed his proud head high and sank down with a sigh and was dead ere any man had laid hand on his fore lock. Captivity was not for him. A Story of Horace Greeley. One of the stories told of Horace Greeley in Wilder's "The Sunny Side of the Street" is a curious rendering Into vernacular experience of the au cient Horace's theater going gentleman of Argos, with his retort, "Cul sic ex torta voluptas et demptus per vim mentis gratlsslmus error:" A friend—one of the wise, observant, upsetting kind of friends—called on Greeley one cold winter day and found the great Journalist with 11 favorite book in his hand, a beatific smile on his face and his feet over the register. The visitor had previously been through tho building and learned that the fur nace had gone wrong and been re moved, the cold air flue could not be closed aud zero air was coming through all the registers, so he said: "Mr. Greeley, why do you keep your feet there? There is no heat—only cold air is coining up!" Greeley tumbled out of his chair and in the childish whine that always came to him when he was excited replied: "Why didn't you let me alone? I was entirely comfortable, but now I'm near you I'm frozen." Teillnic Hid Name. Lord Rath more was formerly plain David riunkett. Shortly after he was raised to the peerage he took 11 trip to the ltiviera. The French railway company reserved a carriage for his private use. At some unknown hour of the night the door of the carriage was suddenly opened. A lantern was flashed upon him, and a voice sharply cried, "Yotre nom?" ("Your name?") I.ord llathmore, wakened out of Ills sleep, looking up iu a partly dazed condition, discovered a railway offi cial on his way round for tickets.

Study of the speed of fishes is em barrassed by unfavorable difficulties. It is not possible, as with bird}, to set up tall poles at intervals of a quarter of a mile and. with tlie help of stop watches, time them as they go by. Nevertheless investigation of the sub ject goes to show that the mackerel, if not the champion racer of the briny deep, comes pretty near to carrying off the honor;;. I'nquestionably it travels sometimes ;;s fust as an express train et high speed- say, at the rate of sixty tiv po-sibly seventy miles an hour. Other things being equal, the larger the fish the faster it swims, just as the huge steamsl.ip is able to travel at a speed much greater than the little har bor tug. Undoubtedly the energy em ployed by a lish of great size, such as a thirty foot shark when traveling at its best gait, is something tremendous. An ordinary tug, which represents a maximum of energy in a minimum of bulk. Utilizes ab >::t L'OO horsepower. Of course it is only a guess, but it would not seem t » be over the mark to suppose that a seventy foot whale makes use of 500 horsepower when It propels its huge bulk through the wa ter at a rate of thirty miles an hour. A whale, which is a mammal and not a fish, might be compared to a freight train if the shark is a cannon ball ex press, but it can beat the fastest ocean greyhound in a speed contest. If there is a lish that can travel fast er than a shark it must be the tarpon, which can probably "hit her up" to tho tune of eighty miles an hour, if pressed for time. Generally speaking. It may be said that finny creatures which live near the surface of the sea are swift swimmers, as compared with those that dwell in the depths. Thus the cod, which is a deep water species, is sluggish and would stand 110 show at all in a race with the mackerel or herring. Tit latter, which are dis tinctively pelagic, depend for their liv ing upon their activity in pursuing agile prey, and they mi: t be quick In their movements in order to escape their own enemies. Lf the mackerel were as big as a good sized shark It w >u!d probably be the speed champion of the ocean. No fish is better shaped f.>r rapid going. Some years ago a yacht builder in New York construct- 1 a -loop with a hull patterned exactly after the underbody of a Spanish mackerel. She was called tho Undine, ;uil, if tra ition does not lie, she never was beaten. Like the fish after which she was modeled, she had her greatest breadth 112 ' earn for ward of amidsirns—a decidedly novel Idea in boat In uJii.g. One may say, indeed, that all modern water craft are more or less fishlike in their make up; yet, on the whole, it is surprising that marine architects have not striven more earnestly than they have doue to obtain hints from nature's own il lustrations of aquatic speed making principles.—Saturday Evening Post. Why He Dliiliked the Man. I once heard of a man who, discuss ing a name 011 the visiting list, said to his wife, "You know perfectly well that I don't like that man." "Don't you think you are a little unreason ab! asked th" wife. "Your dislike arose because he did not answer a letter you wrote him, and you found afterward that the letter was hung up all summer in the pocket of your over eoat and was never sent to him at all." "Yes, I know that." was the rejoinder, "but It was so long before I found It out that I couldn't overlook his rude ness, and 1 never forgave him, and I don't believe 1 ever shall."

The birds at first are coal j black. The one I took was the size of a pigeon and It took me twenty min utes to get It. When pursued the lit tle fellows make for the open deep wa ter, never skulk among the weeds, and rely entirely upon their wonderful dlv j lng powers. You can only catch them ; when they are very young and on a perfectly calm day when you can see them the Instant they come up. I fallowed the bird so quickly that I was always near when It rose and by shouting and brandishing the paddla frightened it Into diving before It had , regained its wind. At length It could not dive more than a foot or two be : low the surface and then I caught It sin my hand. It was savage and sea sick in the canoe. The mother kept ne;ir it from first to last, swam round the eanoe, railing most plaintively the while, the note being "Whe-ou-on." quite distinct frjtn the usual mocking laugh, "Ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha I" I ; paddled the little lonn about a mile . an ' then put 't overboard very gently, | an>) tlie mother led it off in triumph THE PHENIX.

We shall never again see the days, when General Scott won a fortune of £200,000 at whist, chiefly by dint of keeping sober. And high play, it must never be forgotten, 13 a relative term. When Lord Stavor dale gained £II,OOO by a single coup at bazahl, his only comment was that if he bad been playing "deep" be might have won millions. When the dimen sions of modern wealth are taken into account the wildest excesses ever wit nessed at the card table would have a timid and parsimonious aspect to the bucks of tbe regency.—Times of India, Bombay.
