You .possess every moment of my ex istence”— “And you mean,” she interrupted, with a cruel little laugh, “that if I were to ac cept you, and the uncertainty, were over, you would be rid of the thought of mel” “Clare!” “By the bye, I haven’t seen you in the row for the last—I don’t know how long.” “No; I found it too’expenslve.” - “Poor boy! I feel inclined. sometimes to marry you for tbe sake of your poverty,- My money wedded to your genius”— “Would make a .nice scandal for the busy bodies. It is your wealth, Clare, that reconciles me to your coldness at times. Oh, my dear, I wish you were penniless, •and I bad the right to earn for you,” “Now you are beginning again,” she frowned, “and it is all nonsense. I shouldn’t be in love with even love in a cottage, I assure you.” • 1 At the foot of the stairs he rap against Sir John Darton. “Ah, Stockdale!” the baronet cried, with assumed oordiality. “Been to see Clare? Is she In? And how goes the pic ture?” “Oh, I suppose it will be ready,” Stock- dale answered. “Hope it will be hung on the line—de serves to be, I’m sure !” “You are very kind.” The baronet shook hands with a little patronizing nod, and the footman closed the door upon the artist. Clare Darton would never marry him. And what presumption ever to have aspired to her! What was he but a poor, unknown artist, to whom the most beautiful, ac complished and wealthy heiress had been kind during an intoxicating season in Italy, where, with the usual unconven tionally of English folk abroad, they had esJjjtimato acquaintance and she 'had given biima'ft'afiirrrjendship in re fit’s about 11 years now since I handled trains by wire, and I would not gojback to It for $100 a day. You have really no Idea of how it wears on a man. Some stand it better than others, but it wrecks every one’s nerves sooner or later. “When I was appointed night dispatcher en this road, I thought I was the biggest man in Missouri. I took to smoking 15 cent cigars and wearing $8 hats. I had a well developed case of swelled head and showed it all over me. A few months’ ex perience with faithless operators, trioky trainmen and arrogant superiors, however, took tbe oocceit out of me, and IHbegan to realize just how big a job It was to handle a heavy train wire and give satisfaction. The fact is, tbe man who can please all hands has yet to be born. There are times when some-train must be delayed, and it’s often a case of Hobson’s choice. The train men who wait curse the dispatcher into tbe middle of purgatory and back again, and those who get advantage brag about the run they made. < “One night the road was fairly hot with trains when 1 came on duty. I wondered how in thunder I should ever get the pas senger train through without delay. There seemed to be a train on every side track over tbe whole length of the road and more between stations. I worked like a beaver. It was in the old days of what are known as ‘single’ orders, when each train received-a separate order, which must be sent to each one concerned singly. You will easily see how in the rush of business a single order might be incorrectly trans mitted and trains leave stations under conflicting orders, which would certainly bring them together unless corrected Nowadays the most progressive roads all use orders so worded that two trains or more receive them at the same time, and thus the risk of error is lessened. Thnt system was hardly known in my time, and we worked on the perilous single ordor plan. “A doubiefrca&T left the foot of the mountain about midnight, hbltifrfg ao cru der giving it the right to Summit. About 85 minutes ahead of it was a fast freight. The latter had an engine numbered 427, and the double train had engines 842 and 827. You must remember I was working every minute trying to keep tbo freights out of the way of tbo night passenger trains. “Along toward mornilig a train was ready to go down the mountain, and I gave the order to ‘run wild’ and wait for engine 427 at Summit. In some way or other the double train following slipped my memory completely. I have thought since I must have got mixed on the two numbers, 427 nud 327. At any rate, when tho operator at Summit reported the two trains leaving, it caine over me with the suddenness and pain of a galvanic shock that I had given what we call a ‘lap’ order. “The horrible feeling that seized me of ten makes me shudder when I think of it now. My hand fell from the key, limp and nerveless. Som cthing seemed to cast a blur before my eyes so I could not read the orders before m9. Tho blood rushed to my head, and my temples beat like trip hammers. — - The dark ey.xl Miss Brown smiled a little wickedly as she gathered her filmy skirt up-in her-hand.: and trippedluptbe stairs with the most' approved Delsartean grace She felt sure ‘ tbotrMr. von Ehren was watching her progress with admits tion, and sho suspected that each click ot her high heeled slippers upon the stairs brought a throb to his youthful German heart.

Those foreigners are really in a state of painful ignorance about the American woman. I dare say they think a girl who has been to col lege can’t be fascinating. For me to prove to the handsome Herr von Ehren that we can be all things to all men will be really a patriotic act, a vindication of' the new woman, a triumph over the flaxen haired, Madonna/ faced, eternally knitting ideal. Still, of course, it mustn’t be allowed to get tbo serious. I don’t want him shoot ing himself or me. ” - > - ! ' > With this charitable conclusion Miss Brown climbed into the big four posted bed which filled the larger part of her room in the old homestead where she was spending tho summer and fell at once into the refreshing sleep which comes especlal- j2jtQ_those whose minds are free from guUe. x * - .. In pursuance of her patriotic pJar Miss Brown permitted the young German, with the handsome, boyish face and the conrtly air, to he her constant attendant every where^ He seemed to like the position. His eyes sought her place the instant he entered the dining room. If she started out for a ramble, he always-sprang to ber side and, with his foreign air of deference and humility, , begged permission to accom pany her.’ Every one about the place no ticed and smiled at the young man’s ap parent infatuation. Miss Brown played her part exceeding ly well. She was a clever youifg woman and never allowed the youth to become too personal or-too sentimental. She told him About _ her college life, and. he seemed to never weary of her tales. She disenssed everything with him from the classics to clambakes and from poetry to politics. She was one of the few young women who could do tjiis in a way that would inspire, the respect of a man who knew much on these subjects, but who was unaccustomed to women who knew anything outside the purely feminine realm. It was before the evening that Miss Brown tried to instrruot Mr. von Ehren in the beauties of Browning that she decided to stop playing with fire. She did not fear it herself; but, as she put it, a conscience not quite outgrown kept ber from getting real enjoyment out of FOR LITTLE FOLKS. Good Manners. The average young man scoffs a little At a chap who is noticeable for his good manners. Many a healthy boy thinks a certain roughness in speech or manner is a sign of vigor and manliness in con trast to the weak and womanly ways of one who is always bowing and scraping to the people whom he meets. There could not be a greater mistake, because while an overdisplay of politeness is a sign of hypocrisy natural courtesy will never permit boy or man to behave.in any way except in the thoughtful, quiet, refined way which belongs to good man ners. A rough, honest chap is better than a slippery, well mannered, dishon est one, to be sure. That perhaps is the reason for so much of this deliberately rough way some of us adopt; But this does not prove that courteous behavior is wrong or to be avoided. It means Shat courteous behavior is sometimes [used as a cloak for other motives. ; : There is no reason, therefore, why the [average young man in school or college or business, in fcia daily occupation, or ‘when he comes in contact with women Sor men, girls or boys, should not make kt a point to be reserved, self contained, [tolerant and observant of tho little rules [which every one knows by heart and [which go to make his company and com panionship valuable to others.—Has- per’s Bound Table. in such shades as brown, blue, tan, green and gray, is selected for jackets of this style and fancy frog ornaments or braid provide suitable decoration.

In his pic ture he had represented the very scene— her attitude, the surrounding beauties of warm southern coloring, and he had caught the Inspiration on her lovely face, though he had not dared to portray bor"ex actly. In the meantime Sir John Darton had reached his niece's drawing-room with a cloud of annoyance on his face. “So you have find your protege here again, Clare?” he began, refusing her offer to ring for fresh tea. “Yes,”, she said carelessly. “That has been my one excitement. How did you get on with my lawyers?” “Matters are as had as they can he. I shall go on fighting the ea^e of course.” “Oh,” she interrupted, “why do you bother so much, uncle?

Then I tried to reach the double train, but it, too, had passed the last telegraph office, and I knew no earthly power could prevent those trains from striking hard, for tho grade is nearly 20 feet to the mile up there. “I sent for the chief dispatcher immedi ately and told him the situation. He was an old band at the business, and an affair of this kind fretted his-nerves almost tq the point of Insanity. He added nearly 100 per cent to my agony of mind. He would sit down and look the train sheet over and seem to devour the fatal orders with hie eyes, then jump up with a gesture of de? spair and' say, ‘By gosh, that’s too badj ! Then he wouldpace up and down the floor, repeating to himself; “That’s too bad, too bad. They’ll strike as sure as the world,*- returning always to pore over the train sheet and order book. I could have screamed with the Tuvful strain of nervous suspense. I-confidently believe that noth ing but lack of courage and the curious fascination kept'me from rushing out and jumping into the river, 75 feet below. “I felt absolutely certain that some of those men would be killed. Had both trains been single tho drivers might possir bly see each otherjs headlights in time to jump, but I was sure the men.on the sec ond engine of the double header would go into the wreck all over and die ps snre as fate.
