He brought her to Huntington, Ind., and made her a home, for he had been go- ing up, as I told you ;first a hostler, then a fireman, now an engineer of the very best class. He made his runs on schedule time, always careful always trusty, always with a word as good as a rich man’s bond. He came to have three children, and he took them to church when he had a chance, xor he held connection with Episcopal faith, and believed the Gospel. He was as happy and proud 3 man as ever I knew. “It was a cold January morning “'hen the tradegy came, a. morning with ice all over the ground and the "'in biOWing a gale. His train had ween delayed by the storm, but he had ade up the time and came in just as »ua.l.

She was a brave little woman and she kept so close to him as he drifted away ;she kept his hands so warm with the touch of the children and his hope so bright with promise of joining him presently that I really think he lasted longer than he would have done with a weaker woman. “But he died before. daylight. He had been with his loved ones four hours, and at the very last his eyes were open and his soul w; s in them. He never weakened, and he never cried out. Sometimes the agony would wring a. groan from his quivering lips, but he would hush it at once, and turn to'his wife just as steady, just as true, and loving and trusrful as he ever had been when his skies were fFair.

Railroad, is, as everybody knows, a. area tstickler for discipline, and a storey is told of him whxch is too good to keep. Some time ago, while on his way to Harrisburg, the conductor of the train bowed as he passed without asking to see his ticket. On coming through the train again, Mr. Roberts touched his arm and said : “Why did you not ask for my ticket 2” Rather abashed, the conductor repli- ed that- he presumed he had his pass. i“VDor yofi know who I am ’I” next asked Mr. Roberts. J‘V‘Granted .that I am. It is your duty to allow nobody to ride over this road without showing a. ticket. Always bear that in mind.” “Yes, sir,” replied the conductor, “you are the president of the road.” The conductor promised to do so In the future, and passed on. After the next station had been passed he again passed through the train for tickets, and, coming to Mr. Roberts, stopped and demanded to see his ticket. “I v_â€".---- ‘ “That’s right, my man,” said the} president, putting his hand in his breast posket. Then he grew red in the face, and as he felt in pocket after pocket his face became redder. He had left his pass at home. The con- ductor never moved a muscle of his face, but stood with outstretched hand waiting for the ticket. Mr. Roberts was too proud to back out, and finally asked in a meek voice. “How much is the fare to Harrisburg 2” On being informed he paid over the money, which the conductor took without a. smile, giving him a rebate check good for ten cents. President Roberts continued his ride in silence.-sz'lade{filzz'a Record. fimmnmun. Augusta now has several novelties in the way of Chinamen.

A savant at work ’and a. sevant at play ! When a. difl‘erent creature! Of the many who were accustomed to listen to him with deference and respect at various gatherings of the learned, how few would have recog- nized him now ! NIPPED IN THE BUD. Mr. Theodore Grimshaw could never have been very young, I think. He was sixty- five at the date of this little narrative, and had friends as old as himself, who main- tained that in his school days he was not in the least like a. boy and that in early man- hood he was as little like other young men as could well be imagined. Throughout his parchment-like exist- ence Mr. Grimshaw had been absolutely impervious to the tender passion. His Warmest feelings were those which he be- stowed upon the future of Africa. as a. colony ; while the interest he took in the water supply of his neighborhood was stronger than any ever won from him by blue eyes or brown. :1. 1.1 . 1 In the calm security of his wealth, noted ability and dried‘up temperament, Mr. Theodore Grimshnw went to dine one even- ing at the house ofa. married friend, an M.P. of expansive waistcoat and with the unconquerable conviction that the import- 'ance which attached to him in the rural district he had the honor of representing in Parliament was equally felt in London. As this gentleman kept an invaluable cook and gave many dinners no one interfered with his harmless delusion. But the M.P. had a. sister, and she was a widow. The widow was just under forty and in the full possession of much beauty which, as the dear departed could no longer value it, she now desired should be a. comfort to another. She thought Mr. Grimshaw looked lonely. and it was but a. short time before she convinced him" that he was so. It seemed that in proportion to his forâ€" mer callousness Mr. Grimshaw was now to suffer the tortures of love. His fair one first attracted, then repelled him, and it Was just three weeks after the dinner party at which they had met that the elderly gentleman by an effort of his mighty in- tellest pulled himself together and resolved to ask the momentous question. With extraordinary care he dressed him- self, and was caught by his soft-steppin ,valet in the act of gracefully bowing and presenting a. hair brush to himseif in the cheval glass! Could the astonished man have seen the choice bouquet with which his master afterwards ascended the steps of the M. P.’s house he wouldhave understood better why the hair brush had been practis- ed with. The flowers were accepted gracefully; and although suffering from such thumps of the heart as Africa. had never given him, Mr. Grimshaw felt pleased at the glow of courage which inspired him, and fell to business. vuu.uy~v. “If I may hopeâ€"" he softly whispered, and the widow dropped her eyes and blush- ed. She had long decided that his fortune and the carriage cit would enable her to drive in were worth a. real blush. She yielded her plump hand and returned the faintest pressure. “My life shall be devotedâ€"” . “What remains of it,” mentally cor- rected the widow, with a critical glance at the bald patch on her suitor’s head. “To your happiness,” pursued Mr. Grim- shaw. The conversation then turned on place of residence. He had always lived in Lon- don ; butâ€"would she like the country bet- UVL 0 She would not have him change his habits for the worldâ€"country places were mostly damp. Yes, she adores flowers, but; where were they so heautiful as in London? 17:_:__,_ A: .. "0L9 vuv.’ uv uv-_--_.._ Thus far all went well. Visions of a quiet residence where art should render everything as harmonious and beautitul as the home of such a woman should be flitted deliriously through the brain of the happy Mr. Grimshaw, and with impas- sioned fervor he flung himself on his knees and implored the widow to name the day. Silence, save for their own voices, had reigned supreme. Flowers bloomed in the balcony, sweet scents were waited in by the gentle breeze of early summer, and, for the first time in his life, Mr G‘rimshaw felt EAL-___1 ter? UHG “LOU nu..- .. -- ____ yeung.

Suddenly the pianist felt his hands moved quietly away from the keys and before he could remonstrate looked up to find Paderewski standing by his side playing the same melody. “Give me your place and go and dance,” he commanded, and suiting the action to the word, he took his place at the piano, readjusted his pipe, and began a. gay, improvisation of the same reel in every conceivable key. Surprised at the inspiration which seemed to have come to the pianist, the dancers stopped to listen, and seeing the cause of it all, de- lightfully crowded around him. “And so,” mine, And as the farther planet thrills and sweg'vle “ hen to“ ard it through the dax Kness 83 u 1 swmgs, V Even so my spirit feels the spuel of thme When Paderewski Played' All Stood Still. “ ’Twas the night before Christmas,” and the members of the Tavern Club were in the midst of their Christmas festivities.
