' •" " 'f * * Freights ftr W. W. JACOBS A Will and a Way (Copyright, Dodd, Mead Compuqr.) The ancient mariner reached for­ ward, and, taking up his beer, drank with relish. The generous liquor ' warmed his blood, and Ms eye bright­ ened. "I've buried two wives, but I *ave to be careful myself, old*as I am," he said, thoughtfully. "There's more than one woman about 'ere as would like to change 'er name for mine. Claybury's got the name of being a marrying place, and they don't Hke to see even a widow-man. "»ut tliere Used to bo OB6 j man la these parts as the Claybury wom­ en couldn't marry, try as they might. He was a ugly little man with red 'air and a foxy face. They used tp call *im Foxy Green, and 'e kept 'appy and single for years and years. "He wasn't a man as disliked being In the * company o' women, though, and that's wot used to aggervate 'em. .He'd take 'em out for walks, or give •em a lift in 'is cart, but none of 'em could get 'old of 'im, not even the wid- ders. He used to say 'e loved 'em all too much to tie hlsself up to any one of 'em, and 'e would sit up 'ere of a night at the Cauliflower and send men with large families a'most crazy !>y calkerlating 'ow many pints o' beer their children wore out every year in the shape o' boots. "Sometimes 'is uncle, -old Eb- enexer Green, used to sit up 'ere with *im. He was a strong, 'earty old man, and 'e'd sit and laugh at Foxy till *is chair shook under 'im. He was a lively sporting sort o* man, and when Foxy talked like that 'e seemed to be keeping some joke to hlsself which nearly choked 'im. ' 'You'll marry when I*m gone, Foxy,' he'd say. "'Not me,' ses Foxy. "Then the old man 'ud laugh agin and talk mysterious about fox-hunts and say 'e wondered who'd getFoxy's brush. He said 'e'd only got to shut 'is eyes an 'e could see the pack in full cry through Claybury village, and Foxy going 'is 'ardest with 'is tongue *anging out. "Foxy couldn't say anything to 'im, because it was understood that when the old man died 'e was to 'ave 'is farm and 'is money; so 'e used to sit there and smile as if 'e liked it "When Foxy was about 43 'is' vtncle died. The old man's mind seemed to wander at the last, and 'e said what a good man 'e'd always been, and wot a comfort it was to 'im bow that 'e was goin'. And 'e men­ tioned a lot o' little sums o' money •owed 'im in the village which nobody could remember. " 'I've made my will, "Foxy,' he ses, 'and school-master's takin' care of it; I've left it all to you.' "The old man was buried a few days after, and Foxy stood by the grave 'olding a 'andkerchief to '1b eyes, and behaving as though 'e 'ad lost money instead of coming in fpr it. Then they went back to the farm, and the first thing the schoolmaster did was to send all the women off before reading the will. "Wot's that for?' ses Foxy, staring. " 'You'll see,' ses the schoolmas­ ter; 'them was my instructions. It's for your sake, Mr. Green; to give you a chance--at least, that's wot your uncle said.' "It was all straightforward enough. The farm and stock, and two cottages, and money in the bank, was all left to Josiah Green, commonly called Foxy Green, on condition-- "There was such a noise o' clap­ ping, and patting Foxy on the back, that the schoolmaster 'ad to leave off land wait for quiet. " 'On condition,' he ses, in a loud voice, 'that he marries the first Clay bury woman, single or widow, that asks 'im to marry her in the presence of three witnesses. If he refuses, the property is to go to 'er instead.' "Foxy turned round like mad then, and asked Henry White wot 'e was patting 'im on the back for. Then, In a choking voice, he asked -to 'ave It read again. ".'Well, there's one thing about ft, Mr. Green,' ses Henry White; 'with all your property you'll be able to 'ave the pick o* the prettiest sals in Claybury.' " "Ow's that?' ses Joe Chambers, very sharp; 'he's got to take the first woman that askfl 'im, don't matter wot *er age is.' "He got up suddenly, and, without even saying good-by to Foxy, rushed out of the 'ouse and off over the fields as 'ard as 'e could go. "'Wot's the matter with 'im?' ses Foxy. "'Anything wrong with the drink?' ses Foxy, puzzled like. "They shook their 'eads agin, and then Peter Gubbins, who'd been star­ ing 'ard with 'is mouth open, got up and gave the table a bang with 'is fist. " 'Joe Chambers 'as gone arter 'is sister,' he ses. 'and Henery White ar­ ter 'is wife's sister, as 'e's been keep­ ing for this last six months. That's wot they've gone for.' "Everybody saw it then, and in two minutes Foxy and the schoolmaster was left alone looking at each other and the empty table. " *WeJl, I'm in for a nice thing,' ses FOxy 'Fancy being proposed to by Henery White's sister-in-law! Ugh!' " 'It'll be the oldest ones that'll be the most determined,' said the school­ master, shaking 'is 'ead. 'Wot are you going to do?' "It was very curious the way the women look it. One an' all of 'em pre­ tended as ft was an insult to the sex, and thfy said if Foxy Green waited till 'e was asked to marry he'd wait long enough. Little chits o' gals 14 and 15 was walking about tossing their 'eads up and as good as saying they might 'ave Green's farm for the asking, but they wouldn't ask. Old women of 70 and over said that if Foxy wanted to marry them he'd 'ave to ask, and ask a good many times too. "He took George Smith, a young feller that used to work ott the farm, into the 'ou$e, and for the fust week or two 'e rather enjoyed the excite­ ment. But when *6 found that 'e couldn't go into the village, or even walk about 'is own farm, in safety, he turned into a reg'lar woman-hater. "The artful tricks those women 'a4/ wouldn't be believed. One day when Foxy was eating 'is dinner William Hall drove up to the gate in a cart, and when George' came out to know wot 'e wanted, 'e said that he 'ad just bought some pigs at Rensham and would Foxy like to make fust offer tor 'em. " 'You deserve tcf get on, William,' ses Foxy. 'George,* he ses, turning to 'lm. • " 'Yes,' ses George. "'Do you know much about pigs?' " *1 know a pig when I see one,' ses George. "'That's all I want," ses Foxy; 'go and 'ave a lopk at 'em.' • "William Hall gaW a start as George walked out, and a minute aft­ erwards both of 'em 'eard an awful noise, and George came back rubbing 'is 'ead and saying that when 'e lifted up the cloth one o' the pigs was Wil­ liam Hall's sister and the others was 'er nephews. William said it was a joke, but Foxy said he didn't like jokes, and if William thought that 'e or George was going to walk with 'im past the dog 'e was mistook. "Two days arter that Foxy, 'appen- ing to look out of 'is bedroom window, saw one o' the Claybury boys racing 'is cows all up and down the meadow. He came down quietly and took up a stick, and then 'e set out to race that boy up and down. He'd always been a good runner, and the boy was 'alf- blown like. 'E gave a yell as 'e saw Foxy coming arter 'im, and left the cow 'e was chasin' and ran straight for the 'edge,. with Foxy close be­ hind 'im. "Foxy was witiiin two yards of 'im when 'e suddenly caught sight of a blue bonnet waiting behind the 'edge, and 'e turned round and went back to the 'ouse as fast as 'e could go and locked 'imself in. And 'e 'ad to sit there, half-busting, all the morning, and watch that boy chase 'is best cows up and down the meadow with­ out daring to go out and stop 'im. "'Who do you think is the prettiest gal in Claybury, George?' he ses. " 'Flora Pottle,' ses George, at once. "'I'll marry Flora Pottlg,' he ses, when 'e got up. 'You can go round this arternoon, George, and break the good news to 'er.' "George tidied hlsself up arter din­ ner and went. Flora Pottle was a very fine looking gal, and she was very much surprised when George walked in, but she was more surprised when 'e told 'er that if she was to go over and ask Foxy to be 'er 'usband he wouldn't dky 'No.' "Mrs. Pottle jumped out of 'er skin for joy a'most. She'd 'ad a 'ard time of it with Flora and five young chil­ dren since 'er 'usband died, and she could 'ardly believe 'er ears when Flora said she wouldn't. "' 'E's old enough to be my father,' she ses. "When George Smith went up to the Pottles' agin the next day Flora made a face at 'im, and 'e felt as m. was arter. That made th6 other wom­ en |nope determined than ever, and at last Foxy sent up word that if Flora wouldn't ask 'im to let 'im know, as 'e was tired o' being a prisoner, and old Mrs. Ball 'ad nearly 'ad 'im the day afore. "It took George Smith two hours' 'ard courtin' afore he could get Flora Pottle to say 'Yes,' but at last she did, and then Mrs. Pottle came in, and she shok 'ands with George, and gave 'im a glass o' beer. Mrs. Pottle wanted to take 'er up to Green's farm there and then, but Flora said no. She said they'd go up at eight o'clock in the evenin', and the sacrifice should be made then. "Foxy didn't like the word 'sacrifice' at all, but if 'ed got to be married 'ed sooner marry Flora than anybody, and 'e' 'ad to put up with It. " 'There'll be you for one witness,' he ses to George, 'and Mrs. Pottle is two; wot about the third?' " T should 'ave 'alf a dozen, so as to 'make sure,' ses George. "Foxy thought it was a good idea, and without letting 'em know wot it was for, 'e asked Henery White and Joe Chambers, and three or four more *e 'ad a grudge against for trying to marry 'im to their relation, to come fr'1' TAKING UP "WELFARE WORK.' Bath Companies and Employes Art Pleased with Its Results, "Welfare work" is not yet carried on by every company. Son - of the larger roads have gone %ato the matter very extensively and do a great deal in va­ rious lines, while others have only re­ cently begun some features in an ex­ perimental way. The work, however, is developing. Each year more money is devoted to It, other companies are taken it up, and we may hope in time to see most of those branches of wel­ fare work that have proved successful where tried, taken up and permanent­ ly carried on by the majority of the railroad companies of the country. That the efforts and expense on the part of the railroads in these various ways in behalf of their employes have been abundantly justified from both the business and humanitarian stand­ points, the high officials of the roads are firmly convinced. "Welfare work" has brought company and men into closer relationship. It has made em­ ployes feel that the coitnpany takes a sympathetic interest in their welfare; that It is not merely seeding to grind out the best years of their lives with exacting work, long hours, and small pay, giving them nothing to look for­ ward to but retirement without com­ pensation through disability or old age. It has tended to stamp out that spirit of discontent that has caused so many costly strikes in American railroad history. It has generally raised the tone and character of the men, increasing their loyalty and effi­ ciency, and making them realize that the success of the company means their own success, and that these both depend on each man doing well his individual part. -- From "'Welfare Work' on American Railroads," by William Menkel, in the American Re­ view of Reviews.

At first she wouldn't 'ave anything to say to 'im at all, but went on sweeping out the room, and nearly choking 'im. Then George Smith, wot was a likely young feller, put 'is arm round 'er waist, and, taking the broom away from 'er, made 'er sit down be­ side 'lm while 'e gave 'er Foxy's mes­ sage. "He did Foxy's courting for *im for an hour, although It on'y seemed about five miautes to both of 'em. Then Mrs. Pottle came in, and arter a lot of talk Flora was got to say that George Smith might come agin for five min­ utes next day. " *You leave it to me/ ses George to Foxy, It'll be all right. I sit there and talk about the farm as well as wot you could."1 " 'And about me, too, I s'poseT ses Foxy, catching 'im up. « "'Yes,* ses George; 1 tell *er all sorts o' lies about you.' "Foxy looked at 'Im a moment, and then 'e went off grumbling. He was like a good many more men, and be­ cause Flora Pottle didn't seem to want 'im 'e on'y fancied 'er the more. Next day 'e eent George Smkh up with an old brooch as a present, -and when* George came back 'e said 'e thought that if it 'ad been a new one It would 'ave done wot was wanted.

"They came at ha-past seven, and at eight o'clock there was a knock at the door, and George, arter carefully looking round, let in Mrs! Pottle and Flora. She was a fine-looking gal, and she stood there looking at all them as­ tonished men, 'er face all blushes and 'er eyes large and shining, Foxy thought getting married wasn't such a bad thing arter all. He gave 'er a chair to sit on, and then 'e coughed and waited. " 'It's a fine night,' he ses, at last. " 'Beautiful,' ses Mrs. Pottle. "Flora didn't say anything. She sat there shuffling 'er feet on the carpet, and Foxy Green kept on looking at 'er and waiting for 'er to speak, and 'oping that she wouldn't grow up like 'er mother. " 'Go on, Flora,' ses Mrs. Pottle, nudging 'er. " 'Go on, Flora,' ses Henery White, mimicking 'er. 'I s'pose you've come to ask Foxy a question by the look of it?' " *Yes,' ses Flora, looking up. 'Are you quite well, Mr. Green?' " 'Yes, yes,' ses Foxy; 'but you did not come up 'ere to ask me that' " 'It's all I could do to get 'er 'ere at all, ^r. Green,' says Mrs. Pottle; 'she's that shy you can't think. She'd rather ha' 'ad you ask 'er yourself.' " 'That can't be done,' ses Foxy, shaking 'is 'ead. 'Leastways, I'm not going to risk it.' " 'Now, Flora,' ses 'er mother, nudg- ing 'er again. "Come on, Flora Pottle,' ses Bob Hunt; 'we're all a'waitin'.' " 'Shut your eyes and open your mouth, as if Foxy was a powder,' ses Henery White. ' " *1 can't,' ses. Flora, turning to her mother. 'I can't and I won't.' " 'Flora Pottle,' ses 'er mother, fir­ ing up. " 'I won't,' ses Flora, firing up too; 'you've been bothering me all day long and. I won't. I 'ate the sight of 'im. He's the ugliest man in Claybury.' "Mrs. Pottle began to cry and say that she'd disgraced 'er; but Foxy Green looked at 'er and 'e ses: 'Very well, Flora Pottle, then we'll say no more about it. Good evening.' " 'Good evening,' ses Mrs. Pottle, getting up and giving Flora a shake. 'Come long, you tantalising mawther, do. You'll die an old maid, that's what you'll do.' " That's all you know,' ses Flora, smiling over at George Smith; 'but if you're so fond o' Mr. Green why don't you ask "im yourself? He can't say "No."' "For half a minute the room was as quie as a grave, and the on'y thing that moved Was Foxy Green's eyes as he looked fust at the door at the other end of the room and then at the win­ dow. "'Law bless my soul!' ses Mrs. Pot­ tle, in a surprised voice. 'I never thought of it.' "She sat down agifi and smiled at Foxy as if she could eat 'im. " 'I can't think why I didn't think of it,' she sea, looking around. 'I was going out like a lamb. Mr. Green--' 'One moment,' jses Foxy, 'olding up 'is 'and. 'I Bbould be a terrible, bad, cruel, unkind husband to anybody I didn't like. Don't say words you'll be sorry for afterwards, Mrs. Pottle.' " 'I'm not going to,' ses Mrs. Pottle; 'the words I'm going to say will be good for both of us; I'm far more suit­ able for you than a young gal--M?.

The lmproveilnent in wrecking facili­ ties and in the matter of comforts pro­ vided for. their emergency crews by the great majority of railroad com­ panies within the last five years is truly remarkable. No expense Is spared in perfecting the equipment with which the wrecker must attack and conquer the weighty problems in mechanics presented by mountains of inertia whose displacement and sal­ vage, if possible, are required. 'There was a time, not many years ago," said a wrecking boss recently, "when we piled into an ordinary box car with a few jackscrews and rope to work with, grabbed a box or two of crackers and hardtack and a couple of cheeses, hooked up to a rat­ tletrap of an engine, and with that equipment went out to fight a wreck. Now I estimate that our present wrecking train costs in the vicinity of $65,000--and we get the best grub in the market while vfe're working."" The wrecking crewd haye upon many occasions proved not alone their remarkable efficiency in work, but their unusual fortitude and heroism in rescue work as well. Among the fight­ ers of man's battle against those forces of nature which he has as yet only partially conquered and Imper­ fectly mastered the wrecker stands out as one of the most brave, compe­ tent and Indomitable. His searching face and the glow of his lantern have tp many a sufTerer, from whom hope had fled in the hour of agony, spelled the light of deliverance, and his toil and guardianship bring the tithe of human life and property loss annual- Ijf'demanded by steam for the gift of d transit down to the minimum. Growing Timber for Tie#. The unroniantic section of timber that lies embedded between the rails until rooted up and burnt, too old for service, has assumed a vast impor­ tance in the estimation of practical railroad men, for the forests from which come the trees that are cut into ties are becoming exhausted and the prices of this material are being ad­ vanced to such an extent that some radical steps have become absolutely necessary. The Pennsylvania railroad is the pioneer in the departure that it is thought will solve the problem. A large piece of farm land belonging to i the company near Morrisville, Pa., has been set apart for forest reservation and here, under the direction of the forestry department of the railroad, millions pf seedling plants are being nursed into a" sufficiently robust life to allow for their removal to other lands belonging to the company, where they can be permitted to take their chance of growing to maturity. The trees selected for this plants* tton are those which have proved the most desirable for railroad ties. There are acres of oak seedlings, chestnuts, catalpa plants, black locust, Scotch plnei Austrian pine, Douglas fir and «ther trees that are of the right mate- •*al for cutting up Into railroad tlee *1 will.' Fifty-Two Years In Service. George R. Hough, the veteran War bash train conductor, was buried from his home at Clayton, 111., February 21. He was 74 years old. Had Mr. Hough lived until April 15 he would have completed his flfty-Becond year of con­ tinuous service with the Wabash, he being the oldest man in length of con­ tinuous service on the entire Wabash system, beginning his service at Springfield, 111., April 15, 1857. He served as passenger conductor for S3 years between Keokuk and Bluffs. The Wabash railroad ran two spe­ cial trains, one from Decatur and one from Keokuk, to enable its employes to attend the funeral services. Pretty Tough for the General. A French general's wife, whose tongue-lashing ability , was far-famed, demanded that an old servant, who served with her husband in the wars, be dismissed. "Jacques," said the general, "go to your room and pack your trunk and leave--depart." The old Frenchman clasped his hands to his heart with dramatic joy. "Me--I can go!" he exclaimed in a very ecstacy of gratitude. Then sud­ denly his manner changed, as with ut­ most compassion he added: ^ ^ "But you--my poor general, y©» aust stay !**•*• Success Magazine. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE Of Painting Requirements WiU Ssve Much Expense. When one sees the surface of a house or other building scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "dis­ ease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, and that poor paint was used--or possibly that a good painter had been1 dominated by a property-owner who knew nothing about paint.
