for th0 first time oipco wintor set in witha quick push and a leap he wtts in tho saddle boundirig along tho dim frozen road dim yet for mere starlight the night seemed wonderfully luminous but the light waa fitful there were moments whon all seemed buried in darkness then tho landscape brightened as if tho moon had emerged from behind a oloud but there was no moon he knew that the moon would not rise till morning was near the railway circled the foot of the hill but tho road ran straight over the summit by btrenuoua effort ho had already reaohed the crest and the hard dm on wheel leap ed

was a bourco of regret to him that ho was not tho only disoovorer as it was he porvcrsoly tdrned his back on the well stocked stores at the ridge and did a suspicious amonnt of trading at the glen ho also did more telegraphing at times thttci business beemcd to require the wires must have felt a queer thrill as bome of theso messages pulsed them though the words were as trivial and remote from the

unprecedented but to nhht his head is full of fancies ho know about the cash box for ho had spoken with the exprcea agent as tho train backed through im afraid the littlo girl was worried about that money he mused she isnt used to that bort of thing but it cant hao been in hor hands moro than half an hoar the telegraph at his elbow waa olloklng in tin uneasy irregular fashion bat ho had scarcely noticed it all nt once tho signal sonnded loudly this was followed by an unintelligible rattle oven bis practised could not avoid at a eharp turn in the road ho swung out so far that he felt tho bind

tele a touching scene it is nlwaya charming to see children- manifest tender affection toward their pareqts and this is still more pleasing when the children are themselves men and wotofln the writer remembers being on a rail road train several years ago when directly in front of him sat a kindly lookiog snowy haired old man evidently unaccustomed to travelling and as manifestly in his second childhood he was very talkative and bo told mo all about the journey ho was taking i m going out to iowa to seo my son jimmy and my daughter nolly just think 1 i ain t soon oither o them children for
