Recwvared the Lock-t. * Last August Mrs. Kennedy broke a gold locket which she prized highly, as it contained a picture and lock of hair of her dead mother. She, of course, desired to nave the repairs made by a first class jew eler, so she intrusted the locket to the cars of her brother, who was acquainted in the Jewelry trade. The brother was about to go on a trip through New York state, but he promised toJeave the locket with a Philadelphia Jeweler on his way to the train and return the receipt by malt Two days later Mrs. Kennedy received a letter .from her brother, who said he would bring the locket with him when he returned, but did not mention where it was being repaired. Early in September a dispatch came stating that the brother had died suddenly in Utica and that the body and effects would be senton at once. Some time later Mrs. Kennedy remembered her locket, but, although she made a thor ough search of her brother’s papers'and clothes, she could find so trace of it. In quiries were made of all the largo Jewel ers and advertisements were inserted in the newspapers, but the locket was never found. Recently a forlorn tramp came to the Kennedy residence and was given some thing to eat. In return he did some work, and Mrs. Kennedy decided to give him a suit of her brother’s clothes, which she had kept. The “hobo” seemed very grate ful, and after donning the suit left. Thursday he returned and gave Mrs. Ken nedy a piece of paper he had found in the vest lining. It proved to be a receipt for the long lost locket, which had been left with a Well known firm of New York Jewelers. To avoid any risk Mrs. Ken nedy went to New York in person and re covered her locket.—Philadelphia Record.

Tw» Noted Women on a XooomotHm. On the recent homeward journey from the east Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs and her eietor, Miss Virginia Fair, rode a part of the way in the cab of a locomotive. At Promontory, 58 miles wwt of Odgen, the train on which the heiresses were had to wait over for some time. Mrs. Oolrichs and Miss Fair availed themselves of tb< delay by taking a little walk on the track. From the window of his cab Engineer Shell recognized them and said to his fire man, “Why, there an Senator Fair’s daughters.” Hla remark was audible to the two la dles, and, going closer to the cab, Mrs. Oelrichs said, “You seem to have known my father.” “Yes, madam,” replied the engineer, “X knew your father when he was running the Comstock mine.” Question and an swer soon broadened to a regular conver sation between the heiress and the en gineer. The time for the train to start came around. Then Melvin Shell, in an Intensity of friendship, blurted out: “La dies, I beg your jArdon, but aren’t you tired of riding in that stuffy Pullman track < there? Wouldn’t you like to ride awhile in the cab, where you’U get some fresh air?" The sisters stared a(i thl engineer for » moment, too startled to speak. Then the humor of the situation caught them, and, exchanging glanoes, they burst into • hearty laugh. “Shall we?” inquired Mrs. Oelrichs of Miss Fair. A nod from Miss Fair settled the question, and in a second <« two En gineer Shell was assisting them into Ids cramped and grimy quarters. At Welles, where the train stopped again, the heiresses, flushed, sooty and with their dainty finery in sad disarray, parted company with their father’s friend, the hospitable engineer. —FranoisM Examiner.
