It was getting sundown when the train
stopped at Hamilton, and s vial pissen
gers descended, among them Mrs. Glon
rtor and Mabel.
There was a forlorn-looking station,
with a dusty refreshment-bar in one
corner of a room labeled, “Ladies’
Room.” There were two or three vil¬
lage idlers, with hands in their pockets,
promenading up and down the platform,
and that was ail.
“Why, what does til is mean V” fret¬
ted Mrs Glennor. “Mr. Hamilton
wrote lie would 1«! certain to huvo the

‘Tei liaps it will be here yet, mamma,”
said Mabel. “Suppose you ask one of

marched majestically up to one of Hie

“Yes’m—no’m—I don’t know—there
it are a-comin’ now,” was the slightly
incoherent answer.
Turning in the direction of his ex¬
tended finger she saw a handsome car¬
riage rolling rapidly up.
“it is just coming,” she announced to
Mabel, whose eyes had already informed
her of the fact.
They waited upon the dreary platform
until it drove up and the driver dis
mounted.
Then he came up the stops and ad

A Prompt Juror.
An amusing story is told of tlie wav a
juror in Georgia went for a conviction.
A murder ease was being tried, and
great difficulty was experienced in, get¬
ting a jury. Eleven jurors had been
sw >rn and in tho bext panel that was
brought in was U small, lank, lean Cil
dayerons locking fellow, who bad on
but one shoe, Ids pants were held up by
a singlo suspender. The solicitor pro¬
ceeded to ask the usual questions, as
follows:
“llavo you, from having seen the
crime committed or heard any of the
testimony" delivered under oath, formed
and expressed any opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of the prisoner at the bar ?”
Tlie “single gallus” fellow, in a clear
and distinct voice, answered :
“Not any.”
“llaye you any prejudice or bias rest¬
ing on your mind for or against tlie
prisoner at the bar ?”
“I hain’t.”
“Is your mind perfectly impartial
between the State and the accused V”
“Hit air.”
“Are you conscientiously opposed to
capital punishment 5 ”’
“I isn’t.”
The State didn’t like the juror much,
but it being late and jurors scarce, he
was put upon the jury in tlie usual rnan
ner, the solicitor saying: “Juror, look
up on the prisoner.” The juror looked
upon the prisoner iirmiy in the face, and
then turning to the Judge, he said, in a
firm, solemn voice, “Yes, Judge, 1 think
lie’s guilty.”
