An Incident on the Cars. “Cars stop twenty minutes for refresh ments !" called out Conductor Richardson, at Allen's Junction. Then as the train came to a dead halt he jumped down upon the station platform, ran along to the front of the long line of passenger cars, whore the engine was standing, and swinging himself up into the cab, said to the engineer : “ Frank, I want j’oti to come back with me to the first passenger car and see a girl that I hardly know what to make of.*’ The engineer nodded without speaking, deliberately wiped bis oily, smoky hands on a bunch of “ waste,” took a look at his grimy, dusty face in the narrow little .mirror that hung beside the steam guage, pulled off his short froek, put on a coat, changed his little black, greasy cap for his soft hat—taking these “ dress-up” articles from the tender-box, where r.n engineer always has something ntowed away for any emc-rgencj* —and went back to the coach as requested. lie entered the coach and made his way to the seat where the kind-hearted conductor sat talking to a bright-looking little girl, about nine years old, oddly dressed in a woman's shawl and bonnet. Several of the passengers were grouped around the scat, evidently much interested in the child, who wore a sad, prematurely old countenance, but seemed to be neither timid nor confused. “ 1 lore is the engineer,” said the conductor, kindly, as Frank approached. She held out her hand to him, with a win some smile breaking over her pinched little face, and said: “My papa was an engineer before he be came sick and went to live on a farm in Montana. He is dead, and my mamma is dead. She died first, before Susie and Willie, My papa used to tell me that after he should be dead there would be no one to take care of me, and that I must get on the cars and go to his home in Vermont. And he said if the conductors wouldn’t let me ride because I hadn’t any ticket, I must ask for the engineer, and tell him I was James Kendrick's little girl, and that he used to run on the M and G road.” The pleading blue c\’es were now full of tears ; but she did not cry after the manner of children in general. Engineer Frank now quickly stooped down and kissed her very tenderly; and then, as lie burshed the tears away from his eyes, said: “ Well, my dear, so you are little Bessie Kendrick? It’s my opinion a merciful rrovidencc guided you on board this train.” Then turning around to the group of passengers, he went on : “ I know Jim Kendrick, the father of this little girl, well, lie was a man out of ten thousand. When I first came to Indiana— before I got acclimated—l was sick a great deal of the time, so that I could not work, and I got homesick and discouraged. I couldn’t keep my board bill paid up—not to mention my doctor’s bill—and didn't much care whether 1 lived or died. One day, when the pay car came along, and the men were getting the monthly wages, there wasn’t a cent coming to me, for I hadn’t been free from the ague, nor worked an hour, for the last month. “ I felt so blue that I sat down on a pile of railroad ties and leaned my elbows on my knees, with my head in m3’ hands, and cried like a great boy, out of sheer homc-sickuess and discouragement. “ Pretty soon one of the railroad men came along, and said, in a voice that sounded like sweet music in ray ears, for I hadn't found much real sympathy out there, although the boys were all good to me in thatwwa r , ‘ You’ve been having a rough time of it, and you must let me help you out.’ ‘‘l looked up, and there stood Jim Kendrick, with his month’s pay in his hand, lie took out from the roll of bills a twer.t3’- dollar note and held it out to me. “ I knew ko had a sickly wife and two or three children, and that he had a hard time of it himself to pull through from month to month, so I said, half ashamed of the tears that were streaming down my face, ‘ Indeed, 1 cannot take the money-. You need every <ient yourself.’ “ 4 Indeed, 3-011 will take it, man,’ said Jim. * You will be all right in a few weeks, and then you can pay it back. Now come home with me to supper aud see the babies ; it will do you good.” “ I took the bank-note and accepted the invitation, and after that went to his house frequentl)-, until he moved away and I gradual ly lost sight of him. I had returned the loan, but it was impossible to repay the good that little act of kindness did me, and I guess Jim Kendrick’s little girl will not want for nn)-thing if 1 can help it.” Then, turning again to the child, whose blue eyes were open wide enough now, said to her: “ I'll take 3’ou home with me, Bessie, dear, when we get to Wayne. My wife will fix you up. and we’ll write and find out whether those Vermont relations really- want you or not. If they do Mary or I shall go on with you. But if they don’t care much about having you, you shall stay- with us to be our little girl, for we have of our own. You look very much like your father ; God bless his memory.” ' Just then the eastern train whistled. “All aboard!” was shouted. Engineer Frand vanished out of the car door and went forward to his engine, wiping his eyes with mis coat-sleeve, while the conductor and sympathetic passengers could not suppress the tears this touching episode evoked during the twenty minutes’ stop at Allen’s Junction. —Gulden.
