l’USII AJiD PLUCK.
“Push—push—push! Yos, it’s got to
bo push all tho time with mo if I’m ever
going to amount to onytbing, and I’m
bound 1 will!”
Jim Brand drew as close as he could
to the little end window of the garret in
which lie slept, trying to catch the last
rays of light on hts worn book.
“It’s a tussle!” ho presently ex
claimed, looking off into a dark eornor
of the room, with a fucc which showod
a mind hard at work over some knotty
problem. “If I only hud some one to
show mo a bit! The words aro all
straight enough -1’ vc got them pat, but
where tho sense comes in's more than 1
can sec. 'The square of the hypotlio-
nus ■ of a right angle triangle is equal to
the squares of the other two sides.’ To
be sure, but how to get at it is what
beats me.”
Jim closed the book, ono bo bad dip
ped into because lie had exhausted
everything else within his roach. But
tho expression of full determination to
conquer some day what, now battled him
was fixed on his bright, homely face
nnd seemed to extend to every stout
limb of his stubby frame. The boy’s
sturdy resolve to obtain nn education
grew aud throve under what might be
considered great disadvantages, were it
not that it has been abundantly proven
by many brilliant examples that to tho
best ordor of m'.nds obstacles seem only
to furnish stepping-stones to higher suc
cess.
He lived with his widowed mother in
a small country village, and for the last
two years had worked for a farmer—
hard work, poor pay aud a scant taste
of schoolinir in tho winter. Ilis aspira
tions now were for something belter in
the way of instruction than the country
school afforded. Four miles away, in a
larger town, was a good teacher, and
Jim wanted now to stay at homo, study
harder and recite to this man, but how
to accomplish this he could not see, for
be must still earn his living and help his
mother.
A tri-weekly mail was carried
through their village, it being off any
regular routes. The carrying of this
bad been offered to Jim and had excit-
rd liim greatly, for the same road would
take him to the teacher he was anxious
to reach, thus enabling him to kill two
birds with one stone. But difficulties
were in the way. A scrubby pony had
been placed at his disposal for a very
low price--his carefully hoarded sav
ings would cover it—but its keep was a
serious matter. Jim had been cherish-
ishing another project for a year past.
Last summer he, in company with an
Irish farm-laborer, had been driving an
emntv hav-wagon along tho road when
something appeared m the distance
which astonished both. It was surely
neither man, horse nor dog. It came
toward them with marvelous speed, and
as it drew near developed a human, yet
inhuman, aspect which had something
frightfully comical about it. The horses
grew restless at the uncanny sight, and
Jim sprang to their heads, while Fat,
fervently invoking fche protection of the
Virgin Mary and an untold number of
saints, showed his lack of faith iu their
efforts in his behalf by immediately
tumbling himself over tho hedge, whore
lie lay concealed.
As the thing oamo near it ran to tho
side of the road opposite to which Jim
had turned his horses, nnd thoro fell to
pieces, and while ono part of il loaned
against tho fence, the other, in the shape
oi a well-looking, bluo-ffnnnolod boy,
van toward Jim.
"Olt—did I frighten your horses?”
be cried, in a tone of frank politeness.
“Well,I’m sorry. 1 ought to have stopped
sooner, but whore 1 Vivo tho horses aro
getting used to thorn and I didn’t think.
Whoa, now—poor follow.” patting
them, and the well-meaning cronturos
looked an immediate looognition ot the
fl iendly voice and touch.
“What havo you got thoro?” naked
Jim, looking in great curiosity at tho
thing leaning against tho fence.
“ A bicycle—liavn’t you seen nnyP I
gtmss t hero aro not very many about yet,
nut my father’s amnehine man nnd that's
how 1 catno by the luck of getting one.
We’re boarding tit Farmer Merrivnlo’s
down thoro. and I can make tho distance
out hero m loss than no time.” 'This was
indefinite, but it was three miles, and
Jim had seen for himself how li! o a
thing of life the wondorful skeleton
steed moved. He oxatninod it with
thoughtful eves.
“ ft doesn't hnve to oat, does itP”
“No,” said the boy, laughing, “only
a little oil once in awhile.”
But its cost was beyond that of a
1 »ony. Jim watched in delight and
onging as it, with its owner, were
spinning down t he road, while Pat cropt
from his hiding-place with many an ex
clamation ovorthe “wtui-legged wlicol-
bnrry.”
From Mint hour Jim had never given
up the idea of posses eng a bicy de,
and in dreams ha! s”o,i moro than
one picture of himself Hying over (lie
roads carrying on his back a bag ol
niail-mattor ami a sachol of school
books.
“I think I’ll go down to tho State
Fair next. week, mother.”
“To the Slate Fair, Jimmy P” sho said,
insurprise. lie did not often go on a
frolic.
“Yes, I’m going to try if Ioau't make
a little money there.”
“How, my boyP”
“ I’m told tho fair-grounds are more
than a mile out of the city, and that
there’s always agreat demand for teams
to und from ,it,
for what was justly his due, and would,
of course, havo been willingly paid for
his most valuable services in a time of
such a need. The loss would throw
him back a year, perhaps more, in hia
pursuit of learning. But ho was made
of the stuff’ which occasionally sends a
boy from the prairie or tho log onbin to
the White Houso—more of them to high
p'noes in civil and military life, and,
perhaps, bettor, sends boys all over the
length and breadth of the land to till
worthy p net * as exemplars of all that
is noble and honorablo in American
mnnhoixl . <>n..

Then the little wheel grow skittish, ami
as it lose o! streperously 1 ohind Jim
went down defore, amid shouts of good-
humored laughto’'.
But it was Imshcd all of a sudden,
for thoro came a loud and terrible
sound wh'ch struck fear to every heart
—a stunning report, then quick rend
ing—tearing—crashing. And as Jim
gathered himself up, dazed, deafened
aud bewildered, cries of alarm and suf
fering aroso on the ono moment of
dread silence which had followed the
shock. Il was some litllo time before
those who gathered frantically around
couuld understand that a steam-boiler
had exploded with awful violence, deal
ing destruction nnd death among the
assembled multitudes, hut it was only
a breathing time boforo a wad of
anguish went up from stricken ones
whoso own had been smitten down at
their very sides.
J m was blinded by quick coming
tears as lie bent* over the apparently
lifeless form of his just now joyous
companion. A dark lino of blood slow
ly trickled from under his hair, and
Jim turned ball faint as bo saw blood
gathering under him on the gross. He
was about to raise a cry for help when
a tall man knelt down \>y tho boy with
white faco ami trembling hands.
Tearing open Ills coat ho applied his
car to his chest.
1 am a physician,” said another
man, hurrying up, ami together they
made a hasty examination of injuries
which were found to be serious but not
probably fatal.
“What shall I doP” said Harvey’s
father, looking about him in distressed
perplexity. “1 ought to take him to
tlie hotel at onco- and then again, I
ought to bo seeing after moro of theso
poor souls and the mischief my wares
itavo worked.”
,,If you will trust, him with mo,”
said tho physician, "I will go and take
cans of him. See, there tire already

Harvey opened his oyos.
“Yes I'll go, father. Donl ho anx
ious—I’ll soon be all right.”
Mr. (ilonn asked Jim to run fora

thefn. But as ho pointed to tho
wounded boy with a low eager words

“Halloo, hero—JlmP You’re Jim.
Brand, ain't you?”
“Yes,” said Jim, thus hailed by a
farm-hand who drove up to his moth
er’s gate aud spied him at work in tho
garden.
Well, hero then." Ho turned away
a? Jim took a bulky letter from his
hand.
“ Any answer? ’ shouted Jim.
“Guess not Not as 1 was told of.”
Jim carried it in tho house and sat by
his mother as he opened it This was
nearly a month after his venture at tho
fair. ... «
Several sheets of paper, headed each
with the device of a steam-power and
business-like lot,'oring. wero covered on
ono side with boyish-looking hand
writing. From among these fell a
small piece of paper. Jim had nover
scon many like it, hut It s hand ahook
us, first looking at it, he passed it to his
mother.
This was the lettor:

“ Yos, I think I can do It.”
He was on tho alert for passengers
early on tho first morning of tho fair.
Exhibitors only wore arriving on that
day, hut lie found plenty to do among
those who dcsTo I tho carriage of light
aitic!cs nnd fancy wares. On tho sec
ond day tho pcoplo t ame pouring iu
irom all directions, aud tho accommo
dating hoy with the woll-govornod, lights
stopping grays was in constant demand
Tho third day was brilliant in sunshine,
and city and fair-grounds ami the space
intervening seemed alike overflowing
with tho busy, merrv. chattering crowd.
About the middle of tho forenoon
came a lull in .Jim’s work, the arriving
stream having about ceased and the re
turning one not yet begun. Jim went
lor a look at the machinery, much of
which had arrivo 1 sin o lie had been
arotin 1 that wav before. lie gazed for
a while awe-struck at tho great power
eng no, quietly moving its ponderous
arms and wheels in such fearful, master
ful strength for goo I or for ill. lie was
then examining with intelligent into csl
tho beautiful perfection of some im
proved farming implements when his
attention was drawn to something which
moved in and out among surrounding
on-lookers with almost tho swiftness
and lightness of a sunbeam. It was a
graceful, boyish figure mounted on a
bicycle which gleamod and shone in
polished steel and nickel-plating. And
as he came nearer and sprang lightly to
tho ground, Jim’s faco beamed with
surprise anti pleasure as ho perceived
that it was tho same hoy whom lie bail
seen more than a year before.
“Halloo!” he said, as Jim m destly
appr ached to look at the bicycle,
“liavn’t I seen you I eforc s mowhereP
I have, I know; why yes, don’t von re-
mem! er tho time I frightened your
horses?”
Jim was charmed by (lie c irdial rec
ognition, and the t wo l ny< were soon in
cat nest discussion over the merits of
the different machines. Harvey Glenn
was aide to point out to Jim many ox
teilencies he had not l.efore appreci
ated, laying liis hands familiarly on
s me of the swiit, moving intricacies
with a daring which made Jim treinMe;
imp:casing him deeply, ton by t.he in
formation that his fathev represented
the groat machine company which had
sent ti numl er of these magnificent
things on exhibition. The bicycle, a
model in 1 cauty. strength and adapta
tion to the use for which it was intend
ed, came in for its full share of admir
ing attention.
“This is an exhibit! n machine,” ex
plained Harvey. “Most of th-so made
for sale arc a little heavier built, for
greater strength, and a e not got up
quite so finely.”
And in the course of chat Jim con
fided to Harvey his hopes and inten
tions as to himself owning a bicycle
some day. And Harvey insisted on his
mounting this ono, giving him instruc
tions in the way of managing it; which
Jim did, and after a few turns of the
couldn’t use it again to-day and 1 can’t
afford it.”
With a face ablaze with indignation
J in hurried to another driver with much
the same result.
“I’m hero with a party—can't do any
thing else.” Some drivers quietly
mined their vehicles to another part of
tho grounds to avoid being called on to
assist in Hie removal ot wounded and
dead.
“I’vo got a light wagon,” saitl Jim.
going hack to the doctor, almost oliokod
with anger. “May 1 bring that?"
“Yes -quick.”
Tho seals wero torn out with littlo
ceremony. (Draw was placed in tho boil
of tho wagon, upon which Harvey was
tenderly laid. Then tho horses wero
led round lo where other mi orors lay
and two more were added to I lie load.
Again Jim’s heart grew s'ck at sight of
torn, bleeding bodies and anxious
friends trying to improvise comforts and
bring some relief, and lie turned his half
dizzy head the other way as they passed
a building in which he know wero lying
those suddenly called out of the sun
shine and tho summer air and tho busi
ness nnd I he pleasure.
“Como l ack,” whispered Mr. Glenn
ns ,Jim took his slow way to tho town.
“There’s hardly one of those heathen
drivers will bear a hand.”
Jim came back and carried two more
Injured men, unknown by any one
there, so far as ho could learn. Then
again for others whose mourning friends
followed in a carriage. At night, over
excited by tho sad scenes through which
ho had given such ready, self-forgetting
aid, he went to his hetf, feeling as if ho
never could close his eyes again. But
sweet sleep watches in kindliness on t ho
steps of such, nnd tho country boy’s
rest was unbroken by dreams of the
day’s tragedy. VVlie'n ho awoko the
sun was beaming as benignly as if it
had not last shone on hearts shadowed
while time should last on what it had
then witnessed.
He first went to the hotel at which ho
had loft Harvey, and was cheered by
hearing fair accounts of his condition
and that his mother had come to him.
Then he turned his attention to his
wagon, spattered and dripped witli the
marks of "his fear'ul loads of the day be
fore. It took him hours to wash it, re
quiring such an amount of energetic
scrubbing that he soon perceived that a
thorough repainting would be necessary
to put it in condition to return to its
owner. It was not fit to offer for pas
sengers now. Ho drove out to the fair

about him.
As Jim turned his horses homeward
he was ashamed of himself that he felt
much depressed at realizing how utter

monev point of view. Ashamed that
his heart, which had so stood still be- 1

scarcely aware of being overtaken and
passed bv something which then ran
into the side of tlie road, where a bicy

lost control of his own vehicle, and
went down in tlie dust with it. Picking
himself up, hardly knowing whether

were warmly grasped, and two happier

"Harvey!”

Jim stopped to gather his books in

“Pegging at them yet?” said Harvey.
“Yes, pushing away—but it’s slow

Pass Out At the Rear Door.
A conductor of the fast train of tho
Susquehanna division of the Erie Rail
way has his brakeman say, after an
nouncing tho name of each station.
“Passengers will pass out the rear door
to the station.” Much has been said of
the desirableness of uniformity in enter
ing and leaving railway cars, but it ia
probable that it will never t>e secured
until trainmen adopt the plan of the Erie
conductor to whom reference is hero
made. It was noticeable that almost
without exception the request as to exit
at the rear door of the car was observed,
leaving the front door of each car free
for the entrance of passengers at each
.station. The plan not only saves time,
, but it prevents the jostling which is so
j disagreeable to everybody.—AT. Y. Mail
and Exprese.
