Alone he had fought his way through life, With a fearless front, and an assump­ tion of bluff indifference, that would have done credit to a much older, and much wiser, man of the world. Early in his loveless existence he had met Mollie. It was a winter evening. Ragged and cold she stood upon an exposed corner of the bleak, cheerless street. A bundle of unsold papers was clasped convulsively in her numb Angers; a mute pleading was Visible 011 the wan little face, and a Childish dread of the fast gathering darkness echod in the mournful cry: "Extra, sir, extra. Only a penny." She had seemed such a tiny thing to face the stern realities of life. A mere baby who had missed her share of pity and love. The rude crowd jostled ber heed­ lessly. Few paused to buy her wares. They were hurrying from the biting wind; hurrying to their warm fire­ sides, and to the little ones safe in the sheltering fold of a mother's love. But no cheerful Are or sweet home influences awaited the boy, whose companions had been the cold of the streets and the shadows of the night, since memory began. With a swelling heart, and a mist in his eyes that cwkl not be tears, for .Tim could not^emember the time he had ever cried, he paused before the pitiful little figure. "Gimme yer papers," he said with a roughness that was not meant for roughness. She glanced at him with a startled look. She was afraid of him; this big burly boy. "Give me them," berepeated. This time more gentle. "I won't run off wid em'. I'll sell em' for ye." Without a word she passed them to him, following until the last was sold, and she held the money in her hand. Their fortunes were one from that hour. Mollie had no home, unless a miser­ able shelter with a woman, who drank up ner small earnings, and beat her unmercifully, might be termed one. - "Don't yer go back to her," advised Jim, when a host of childish confi­ dence revealed the facts of the case to him." Come and bunk wid me. I ain't no Yanderbilt, but I ain't starving neder. I ain't got no pard like de odder fellers, and I guess yer's as good as de kids, if ver are a gal." So they became comrades, sparing bravely the good and ill of their lonely, loveless, little lives. When times were hard, and pennies scarce, they ate their smaller allow­ ance of dry bread, with as much con­ tentment, as more favored children would being to a meal of pound cake. But when business was brisk, Mollie fared better. There was always an apple, or an orange for her, brought home in the depths of Jim's dirty pocket. . Nor could Jim be induced to share these danties. "Sweet things was made for gals; kids don't like 'em," he would pro­ test, when uifced to take a bite. When, as happened on rare occa­ sions, fortune was very propitious, he would say, with that little air of diffi­ dence which sat upon him so oddly: "Don't go out to-morrow Mollie. Gals can't stand things like boys, and there's enough to give yer a holiday." But Mollie could never be talked into such an indulgence. "We'll never be rich," she would declare, with strange earnestness, "if I'm to take holidays, Jim." For they had their hopes and am­ bitions too. Touches of the same worldly pangs, that agitate the hearts, and energize the children of a larger growth. They talked over these bright anticipations, after the day's work was over. • Dreaming their wonderful dreams, and building airy castles of that very plastic material, their own active imaginations. Yet they did not neglect the every­ day realities that confronted them. They still worked bravely on, starting' out each morning with fresh courage and confidence, counting their pen­ nies, and comparing profits each suc­ ceeding evening. There came a night, however, when the pennies were not compared as usual, Jim did not re­ turn home. - Long after her bed time, Mollie waited, hoping each moment to hear either his footstep, or his cheery whistle. It was a weary vigil, and a had defended her. In his presence no boy had dared to hurt her by word o r a c t i o u . ' ' ; i "Gals is first rate pards," he' bad said one day when some youthful gamins had spoken contemptously of her, "and the feller wot says <ley ain't is goin' to git wot he don't want. See." He had looked so brave wheii he said it, and she had trusted him so thoroughly, and had felt so proud to put her hand in his and walk through that crowd of laughing boys. t She remembered, too, the few ill­ nesses that had fallen to her lot, his almost womanly gentleness; and the dainties he had gone without bread to give her. She thought she had ap­ preciated them then, but now she could not think or them without that painful tightening of t ie , throat, which brought the hot tears to her eyes. And With such thoughts came a faint realization of what her life would be without her boyish friend to share its lights and shadows, "Something has happened to. him, something has happened to him," she repeated again and again during those first lonely days. The idea that he would leave her otherwise, did not for a moment find lodgment in her trusting heart. Yet the weeks passed and brought no tid­ ings of him. Forced by circum­ stances, she sought other quarters. She gradually avoided her old haunts. They held only painful memories for her. Months grew into years. Girlhood gave place to womanhood. News­ paper selling to the needle. With the tiny little shaft of gleam­ ing steel, which her weary fingers plied from early morning until late at night, she supported the mockery she called life. "The Song of the Shirt" was to her a reality, an epitome of her daily existence. Her voice was another in that great chorus, which ever echoes and re-echoes at the mighty throne of God. And through all this time not even a word of Jim came to cheer her lonely hours. Through the flowing hot tears, and with a heart hunger nothing could satify, she longed for a return of the old days, and a sight of the old Jim. Walking through the streets one day with articles she had just finished, she felt a sudden illness come upon her. Too late she stretched out her arm to seek the support of a friendly railing. The next second she had fallen with a half suppressed cry, upon the hard pavement. She awaked to consciousness to find herself on a comfortable bed in a hospital ward. "You are in good hands," was the old doctor's answer to her first e?ger question. "You have only to lie still and get well, my dear." It was- very pleasant this lying«till, for she was very tired. The next day a young doctor replaced the old one. Dr. Willetts the nurse called him, but for Mollie he had another name. A name fraught with memories of much that was sweet and sad iu her life. "Am I dreaming?" she asked in a low wondering voice. "Am I dream­ ing, or is it you--Jim?". The name came slowly, half doubt­ fully, from her lips. He was unlike the boy comrade of long ago, the tall fine looking man, unlike, yet strangely like, too. "You are not dreaming, Mollie," answered the well remembered voice. "Not dreaming. I am Jim, and I have found you at last." "At last," she repeated in the same wondering accents. ' 'I have waited so long Jim, and been so lonely, so terribly lonely." * "So lonely, dear Mollie. It must be different now. It will be different dear." There was a ring of the old cheery confidence in his words. An unex­ pressed something that filled her heart with a vague, sweet, joy. She was well content to wait for the explanation he promised to give when she should be strong enpugh to hear it. And gradually she learned the events that made up the record of those long years. He told her of the aiccident that had befallen him within an hour after he had left her; of the brain injury, that had made bis mind a blank for many long months. Of the kind old doctor, who had taken him to his home and treated him as his own son, and lastly of his vain search for her, when reason once more reasserted its sway. "It's all so changed," he added when the long story was finished. "The hopes we dreamed of long ago, I have fully realized. I have thought of those old days many t£ni&, and not without tender memories of you, but I would not care to live them over." "And I," she answered with a sigh, that was almost a sob, "would be so glad to go through it all again. We were sometimes hungry and often cold then, but I have felt another cold, and another hunger, harder, so much harder to bear. You don't re­ member them as I do, Jim." The days passed heavily. They brought no strength to the invalid. Worn by long, and wearying, work, heartache and want, her exhausted energies seemed wholly unable to rally from the lethargy that oppressed them. Sometimes she was too weak even to speak to Jim. Though she knew he was near. Often feeling his strong handclasp, or hearing his voice. The same voice that had so often said: "We'll always be pards Mollie, even if we do git a pile of money, and-dress like de big swells who buys our papers." Yet even with this memory, there was the vague consciousness of the indefinable something, which stood between them. She was still Mollie, but the old Jim had gone from her life forever. One day she missed his accustomed visit. She waited until evening; still he did not come. *'Dr. Willetts has not been here to- "No," was the faint answer. "I did not know. That is all. Tell him I am glad. Tell---him--Ah I am--so--tired. I think I would like* --to--rest." There was silence after this. The nurse moved off to another patient. Presently she glanced towards Mollie again. Something, in the strange stillness of the wasted form, and the un­ earthly pallor of the sweet, true face, filled her with an undefined f^ar. , Hastening to the bedi she put her hand upon the cold breast. The heart was stilled forever. Best had come sweetly, and softly, to a soul grown tired of long wandering. A.nd not far away in a church, gay with bright lights, and beautiful flowers, the joyful strains 01 a wed­ ding march, thrilled the listening ears, of a happy bride and groom. : Mickles M'ttli H'blskers. "What are you doing that for?" asked the writer of a downtown ele­ vator boy, who was industriously hacking the edges of a nickel with a sharp knife. "Puttin' up a job on one of de 'L' rakes," he replied, as he started the elevator with a velocity that doubled up the knees of a puny-looking man who wanted to go to the top floor. "Who are the 'L' rakes?" He left two girls on the second floor and blew a chewed wad at a messenger boy on the third; then he answered: "De rakes are de fellows wat pull in de coin at de elevated station win­ dows.

He travels a great deal, but the beauties of the country through which he passes are lost to him, for he has no eye except for lost freight cars. If he takes a little snack in a railroad.restaurant, his eye is turned to the window con­ stantly, especially when a freight train goes rumbling by. He has been known to leave his coffee half drank, rush out and mount the caboose with an air of triumph, which proclaimed that he had recognized Che initials and number for which he was search­ ing. Studying freight cars as he does renders him oblivious to the beauty of the most elaborate Pullman or Wagner palace car, and he looks upon the latest improved vestibule limited With supreme indifference. Iu fact he dreams of nothing but lost freight cars, strayed or stolen, and Initials and numhprs dance before his sleep­ ing vision continually. I|e dqesp't confine his search to the maid line^ by any means, but wanders off on ol>, scure roads, branches and cut-offs, and is sometimes rewarded by finding the car in some gravel pit, or switched off at a stone quarry and used as an office or perhaps residence for a sub- boss. Great is his"joy then to drag it out to light and start the truant on its way home. Verily,' there U more joy in the freight master's office over one lost car that is recovored than ninety and nine that went not astray.--[Texas Sittings. F«re*ts and Bacteria. Investigations have been made by Serafini and Arata to determine the correctness of the belief that the foliage of trees has some influence, in filtering out the bacterial contents of the atmosphere. Their method of procedure was to determine the num> ber of bacteria in air under motion before and after it has reached the woods. The barometrical pressure, direction and strength of the wind, temperature at the edge and in the midst of the woods, humidity and rainfall, were all taken into consider­ ation. As the number of observations were only forty, the investigators give the results with some reserve, nevertheless they believe that they are justified in affirming that forests do exercise the power of straining out the bacteria that are brought to them by ti»e wind. Frogs' Lsgi and Ifmiicfcnus. People are usually inclined to re­ gard that toothsome viand known as frogs' legs as a dish peculiar to the French, and more than once unfriendly individuals have alluded to that coun try as a nation of frog-eaters. For this reason I was surprised the other day while dining at a modern little Persian restaurant in the French- quarter of this city, to find that out of a party of four French people, two ladies and two gentlemen, there were two who had never tasted the succu­ lent white meat peculiar to the hind legs of the gentle bullfrog. More than that, neither could be persuaded to taste the dish at all, al­ though it was served in a la poulette and cooked to perfection.--[New York Herald.

'How did thftt homely woman contrive to get married?" is not In reqnently re­ marked of some good domestic creature whom h<>r liusbaud regards as the apple of his eye. and in whose plain face he sees something better than beauty. Pretty girls who are vain of their charms are rather prone to make obser­ vations of this kind, and consciousness of the fact that flowers of loveliness are often left to pine on the stem, while weeds of homeliness go off readily, is^ no doubt, in many cases at the bottom of the sneering question. The truth is that most men prefer homeliness and amiability to beautv and caprice, explains a writer in the New York Ledger. Handsome women are sometimes very hard to please^ They are apt to overvalue themselves, and, in waiting for an immense bid, are occa­ sionally "left on the market." The plain sisters, on the contrary, aware of their personal deficiencies, generally lay themselves out to produce an agree­ able impression, and in most instances succeed. They don't aspire to capture paragons with princely fortunes, but are willing to take anything respectable and loveworthy that Providence may throw in their way. The rock ahead of your haughty Junos and coquettish Hebes is fastidi­ ousness. They reject and reject until nobody cares to woo them. Men don't like to be snubbed nor to be trifled with --a lesson that thousands of pretty women learn too late. Mrs. Hannah More, a very excellent and pious per­ son, who knew whereof she wrote, rec­ ommends every unmarried sister to close with the offer of the first good, sensible, Christian lover who falls in her way. But ladies whos > mirror?, aided by the glamour of vanity, assure them they were born for conquest, pay no heed to this sort of advice. It is a noteworthy fact that homely girls generally get better husbands than fall to the lot of their fairer sisters. Men who are caught merely by a i>rettv face and figure do not, as a rule, amount to much. The practical, useful, thought­ ful portion of mankind is wisely con­ tent with unpretending excellent*. A Hotel Porter as an Artist! Said a head hotel porter yesterday: "I have bet>n a porter for twenty-two years and naturally think I know something about my business. I handle some fif­ teen hundred trunks a week, and on steamer sailing days \ often send 150 to 200 trunks to one steamer. It requires care and skill to handle trunks. I have never yet smashed a trunk and that is a good record. Freouently I have been asked what kind of trunks stood the wear and tear of handling the best. The sole-leather trunks I do not consider the most durable, although they ltave that reputation. A modern-made trunk, canvas covered, with strong stripping* and iron jointed so the body of the trunk cannot strike the floor if it falls side­ ways, I think stands hard usage best. The tin-covered trunks can stand just so much pressure and banging about, and then collapse or get so fearfully indented they are never in shape again. Hotel porters handle trunks like artists and not in the slam-bang smashing way which characterizes the railroad baggagQ handlers. If a trunk got injured in our hotel by the porter, through careless handling, the guest would cease to be a patron of the hotel if the damages were not paid. It Is Just as easy to handle a trunk without smashing It as it is to throw it down recklessly. I know a great deal of fun is poked at the bag­ gage smasher, but I want it distinctly understood that a porter in a first-class hotel, like the one I am in, is an artist and can carry a trunk anywhere with safety and a certain amount of grace We do not belong to the class of railroad hamfatters who work for corporations that have no soul, and do not care for an individual trunk."--New York World. m vm t-k Treatment of Watchea. That a wat h may keep good time, says Chambers' Journal, it should be carefully treated: it should be, wound at the same time daily, and when not worn should be pla.edin the same position, al­ ways hung up, or always laid down, as every wat.-h goes different in different positions. In wat hes having a double ca e, the onter one should never be left open. If it Is left open even for one night, the glass Is covered with a thin film of dust, which will gradually enter the works through even the tiniest openings in the case. Watrhes should be wonnd tn the morn­ ing, because a spring fully wound up will more readily over -ome the disturb­ ances produced by the movements of the wearer. Springs will not brea < so easily if watches are carefully wound np- and not taken out of a warm po ket and pla ed directly against a cold wall or on a marble slab: ior that reason a protect­ ive mat is desirable. The changes of the oil, the variations in temperature, the density and humid- of the air, all greatly affect the going of a watch, and it is only the lever wat-.-h of the most perfect finish which almost neutralizes those adverse influences. No watch keeps perfe t!y corre t time. Even the best chronometers, used in ob­ servatories and on board ships, must be regulated a cording to tables whi h fix the variations to which wat hes are sub- je-'t. A watch sho.uld be cleaned every two or three years. In time the oil decompos­ es, gets mixed with the particles of dust which enter the works of even the best- closing watch, begins to a-rt as a grind­ ing material, and wears out the working parts. It frequently happens that a watch reqijires cleaning o.tener than once in two years, especially if it closes badly or is exposed to much dust and dirt. Any one who has the misfortune to drop his watch into water should take it at once to the watch-maker, to have it taken t > pieces and cleaned; a delay of even an hour may spoil the watch for­ ever.
