A HORSE THIEF.
rft '■ ■ ■ •• :
. The ftiVt prisoner that "graced''
tho new jail nt Oak Knob, the coun-
leat of Patterson county, Ark.,
ft young fellow named Dave
lllew. He was a stranger in this
romantic community, which went
far toward proving, that ho had
a the burse. It waa a fact that
a roan mare was stolen and that dr-
□stances pointed with a steady
at the stranger. This being
. Ute sufficient, he was put in jail.
Oak Knob ooutd hardly bo classed
I village: Indeed it scarcely held
dignity of a crossroad point of
aportanoe. Its buildings consisted
of a court house, which nlHo sorvod
as a church i a general supply store,
a few "resldenoes." and tho jail, a
strong log pen with ah iron grated
door.
Ugo Morgan, sheriff and jailer,
' lived within a few, rods of the jail.
Net Morgan, the old man’s daugh
ter, returned from school in an ad
joining neighborhood one evening,
and was told that a prisoner had at
last been secured for the jail and
that it was her duty to feed him.
At this appointment to high and im-
. portnnt trust the girl jumped up and
clapped her liandB.
"Oh, that's Hue |" she Cried.
"Glad you like it,” said tho old
man, "for 1 don't want nothin to do
with n boss thief, nn yo' mother
"lows she wouldn't food one to suae
his life.” •
“1 don't like u boss thief better
i aiid mother do." she quick-
lied, coloring anil dropping her
•ith a limpness that marked
) sickness, if not tho (tenth, of her
thuslamn. "1 never did have any
i for a thief of no sort, much less
l boss thief, nud If I -have to take
> of him just because yon think 1
him better tliun the rest of you
, why 1 won’t have anything to
d with him.”
’ "Come, now. Net, 1 don't want any
f your foolishness. Of course you
a’t like a boss thief any better
than the rest of us does, hut I want
you to tako charge of him and feed
' him until after cou’t moots and trios
him. If ybu don’t I'll hire Nan
Stokes"
‘■I'll feed him. pap. What sort of
a lookin man is hoi”
"Looks well enough. It’s tjie way
fit}ts that gpt him into trouble.”
"Believe I'll go out there and see
who he’s like.”
"You can't see out there now. It’s
too dark."
"I can take a light. If he’s my
prisoner 1 must do as 1 please about
him.”
Sho took down a spluttering ttillow
candle and ivont out to tho jail.
" '■"Hello in thcro,” she said, holding
up the candle high above her bend
• and attempting to shake the grated
door.
' There was a rustling of straw and
then a vplco aiiswered:

"Come up. here so

,, . He camo to the door. "1 can't see
you very .well now;,'.’she remarked.
’ trying to throw more light ou him
and pressing her face against the
bars. "I never saw a live boss
, thief, and 1 want to see what you
look like.”
'Tm' not a horse thief, miss or

"Miss,.if you pleaso, I ain’t but

"Oh, you ate just tike a man,’

“If I welt* a woman 1 know yon

"Now..Mr. Smarty, just for that
III not give you much of a break

made up for it at ndontune.
“I have brought my sewing,” she
said, "and am going to sit out here
in the sliade und talk tp you. Tills
lathe first time 1 ever hod a man
where 1 could talk to him os long as
I wanted to.”
. He looked at her with a pleased ex
pression, and sho sat down und be

"Where are you from r she asked,
looking up.
"Oh, from almost everywhere."
"How loug have yon been in this
oouutry t"
“Only a few days—hadn't been
herp but a short time until 1 was ar
rested.”
"That was too bad—that is, it you
are innocent"
“And 1 am, miss—what is your
name?”
"Net"
"Aud 1 am innocent Miss Net.”
“1 don’t know, but 1 reckon the
court will settle that point when it
meets."
"Yee, but I’m afraid it will xiot be
Mttled in the right way.”
“1 don’t know about that but I
know it will lie Bottled.”
“1 hope it will soon be settled one
way or the other, for I don’t like the
idea of staying very long in this
pen.’
"Yes. hut when it is settled you
may go to u worse one."
"That's consoling, surely ; but do
you really think they will soud mo
to the penitentiary 1"
"What , a funny question to ask
one I How do I know? But, say,
tell me how they eamo to nceuse
you."
"Oh, thoy found me walking along
tho road anil tooktno up. 1 had no
horse."
"But Zob Brown says that you
passed bis house ridin one, and if
that's the ease, what did you iln with
himf”
"1 did not pass his house riding a
horse “
"But he will swear you did, and
trill give it ns his opinion that you
was afraid of bein uuight mid sold
tile horse to somebody."
"Got up hero, little girl, and look
at mo—look Into my eyes.
She got up, and oftor gazing into
his eyes, said: "No. yon didn’t steal
a home. You couldn't do such a
tiling, and f will believe you no mat
ter who swears against you.”
"I could kiss you for those goner
ous words."
"No, you couldn’t, for I wouldn’t
let you. I wouldn’t want a man to
come kissing me toy my words, any
way? If ho couldn’t kiss me for my
self he shouldn’t kiss me at all. 1 '
"You ban safely talk of kissing to
a mnu in jail How long before
court meets!"
“About a week."
"As 1 am the only man'to bo tried
I supjiose they will get through with
me in short ordor."
“I reckon so; nnd 1 do hope they
won't send you to the penitentiary,
for now that I know you didn’t 6teal
that horse I like you dver so much.”
"And.Hike you,” he said.
“Oh. of course," sho laughed, "for
a man always likes anybody that
feeds him. But 1 like you sho' ’nuff

She fed him on chicken and hot
biscuits, qnd at evening sang to him.'
She declared that he was her first
and only lieau. "But,” shq always
added, "I would hate you if 1 thought
you stole a orse."
, One morning she brought him
more than the usual amount of food,
and when he marveled at the abun
dance she said, "This must do you a

"Why so!", ,

She did sit beside him the next
day, and when the judge, after hear
ing the Verdict, sentenced him to tilt
penitentiary for five years, sho hung
her head and wept.
It was evening nnd the prisonet
was taken bock to his cell. A dark
night (-01110 on. nnd the wretched
man, knowing that on the morrow
he should be taken away, lay on his
straw bed wishing that ho might
die. Hours passed. He was desert-
ed. Tho dug whined.
"Keep quiet, Bose," some one
whispered, and the girl said softly:
“You thought I had forgot you."
"Yob."
"But I didn’t. I wanted the key
and lmd to wait till pap went to
sleep. They had a fellor io, guard
you, but I got him drunk. Pap's
drunk, too." she giggled.
"What are you going to do?” the
prisoner asked, almost breathlessly.
•Tm goiu' to let yon out, but you
must ilo exactly us I tell you and not
say a word. If you try to run away
thoy will catch you tomorrow, but if
you follow my plan they never will

She had unlocked tho door. "Come
Yound this way und don’t say a

don't umonnt to anything. If be
had I’d hnve got him drunk too.
This way, now."
They went into the wihkIs. when*
the timber and undorbrash were ho
thick that they hud to pick their
way along.
"Let’s stop hero and rest a minute,"
she said.
"Are we far enough away!"
“Yes, and they can't limi us any

gled again.
“Little woman, you are an angel.”
"No, simply a girl that don’t wunt

“God bless you," he said.
“And may God bless you l'{ she re

But what trill they do with you.

They won’t do anything to mo.

"But won’t tho officers of the law
put you in jail?”
“It wouldn't be good for one of
them if he was to try it. Mother
says I’m awful when I get started,
and sometimes I reckon I am. I Wo’d

“All right, but don't you think
you'd better go back?”
“If I wns to leave you now you’d

“Wlmt time do you suppose it is?”

“About 3 o’clock.

Sometimes coming upon a place

then, ontering the thick underbrush,
they wore compelled to pick their

"It's growing lighter," he said.
“Yes," silo answered, "and the

They trudged on, catching here
and there faint glimpses of the com

"Here we are at the river,” she.

"And now what!” he asked.
She took hold of his hand, and
she led him down a bank, said:

The average American engineer and
bis fireman wonld think themselves very
111 used If an order were issued for the
abolishment of the cabs—thut friendly
retreat from inclement weather that is
now considered tin absolnte necessity on
all engines. And yet In civilized Eng
land, on a majority, of the, viiilrutulH, the
engifies in one are bnilt minus the cab,

out shelter in all kinds of Weather. It
sonnds inhuman, nnd yet in refutation
the railruad Companies ask whether the
soldier should carry an ntnbrelln when
it raius nt tlie sailor he allowed to work
under an awning? The claim is that the
railroad employees become inured to se
vere weather lind the ubsenee of cover
ing keeps them alert, so that tho possi
bility of danger from inattention to
duty is reduced to a minimum. Subtle
argument, perhaps, bnt hardly tenable.
If this practice waa adopted on sbme of
onr western roads where the temperature
ranges from 30 to 50 degs. below zero,
how many engineers wonld live to eurry
theirtrains from one station to the next?
The unpardonable gin in an engineer
is to let the water get oat of the -boiler
of the engine in his charge. No matter
what excuse he muy .offer, if he lives to
mako his report in turn, bis dismissal
will be peremptory, for by this action
he has proved himself incompetent and
unworthy of fntnre responsibilities. It
Is better for un engineer that lie had
never been born when he reaches this
stage of self tortnre. Fortunately such
cases are rare. The man on nil well
conducted railroads must have showu
himself to be trusty and true liefore lie
is giveu change of an engine, and the
rigid insjiection to which lie is sub

This whistle is to them what tho cry
of the call hoy oil the Thames steamboat
used to be to the engineer down below
before tlie advent ,of electric bells.
'Euse herP the captnin would remark
in his ordinary tone of conversation to
tho small boy that followed him like a
shadow, and "Ease her!" tho youngster
wonld scream in his sharp, shrill stac
cato down the compauiouway. "Stop

would perhaps follow in rapid succes
sion, and in this decidedly crude fashion
the Lonfion steamboat captains did their
steering by proxy only iw dozen years
ago. Olio wonders what has becomo of
those call hoys. Perhaps tjjey spend
their hours in spinning yarns to tho
younger cockneys of the past glories of
steuiuboatiiig in much the same manner
that our dethroned sta$e drivers of tho
west now regale the tenderfoot with
glimpses of bygone nets of heroism and
feats of impossible horsemanship. This
is somewhat of a digression from the
topic under discussion, but perhaps the
reader will excuse its insertion. One
thought naturally suggested the other.
As a class engineers are usually good
natured, kind hearted, though a bit
rough; deep thinkers, dne to their fixed
habits of attention and long hours of
enforced silence, and of good morals.
An engineer who drinks cannot hope to
• hold his position long, for no master me
chanic will tolerate continued tippling
in a subordinate whose duties are so re
sponsible os those of an engineer. He
must bo abstinent, prompt at his post of
duty, and ever vigilant if he hopes to
maintain his position. His hands may
be black and bis face grimy, bnt that
bis heart is all right was evidenced not
long ago in a railroad terminus on
the Pacific coast when the engine,
puffing and laboring from its dizzy
ride over mountain passes and along
dangerous precipices, was approaches
by a golden haired miss of six, who
patted one of the huge driving.wheels
caressingly and lisping, “Yon dear, big
.black thing, how 1 love you for bring
ing my sweet mamma and pap a home to
me from across those horrid mountains,
and yon too," she exclaimed, lifting her
pretty face Jo the black, bearded engin
eer, who had been watching her from
his cab. The tear that sprang instantly
to his eye was not an evidence of weak
ness, bnt of a warm, impassionate heart,
.and the father of the little girl that oc\
casioned this tonch of ’ human nature
furtively reached for his handkerchief
just as the engineer drew his grimy
sleeve across his sooty 'face.—Chicago

Many trainers have favorite perfumes,
