“Miss Chatty.” said a servant, enter­ing with a tray on which were muffins, stesik and a stream ing cup of aoiiee, “here is som ething warm for you.”

■Well,, I declare, all this trouble ou my account! It is too bad. bat I do believe I am hungry,” and putting her work aside, the little woman soon made sad havoc with the dainties be­fore her. She was proud in her way, was thi3 poor, hard-working, sew ing woman. Sho would not own that on this cold and dreary m orning she had dressed in her cbillv room, and eaten sparingly o f bread and oatmeal, With a small cup of milk to satisfy her thirst, but never a complaint, never a cross look from the noble woman who had no luxuries and few com forts,-but who ever looked on the bright side of life.

Before itight the storm became so furious, the snow so deep, the dress­maker was urged to remaiu until the next day, and to tell the troth she was nothing loath, for her humble room in the cottage of the widow Green was not a very attractive one, although clean and neat, yet a rag carpet, paper shades, a cot bed and a sm all stove, with scanty food for a dainty appetite, was all tbe dressmaker could earn for herBelf In tbe small village of Fair- mount.

Eveuing. with her sable curtain, en ­folded the snowy earth. The wind sighed and moaned arouud the warmly draped windows of P leasant Park. The Laurence family were wealthy and high born, Mr. Laurence being from one of the oldest and proudest famil­ies in Boston, and his wifp, the hand- somo Kate Carleton before marriage was of English birth, with noble blood in her veins, yet they acknowledged the goodness and worth of their hum­ble seamstress; and although she did not join them at the table, hav m g her meals seDt into the sewing-room, she was invited into the sitting-room when the family met together for the pleas­ant chat before bedtime, and in hor modest brown dress, with snowy co llar and cuffs, her sweet, pale face, soft voice and charming smile, Miss Chatty did not look out of place eveu in the parlor of the high-born Laurence fam ­ily- *

“Miss Chatty, I wish you would tell me a story. I do so like to hear them.”

This from Master Johnny, who was basking on the snow white rug of bear­skin. tho glow, from the tire lighting up his curls until they looked like a mass of gold, and his round, dimpled face as rosy as the sunny side of a peach.

“Oh, do. dear Mi9s Prim, tell us som ething nice,” exclaim ed Lizzie, shutting up tho entertaining fairy book, and coming forward to the easy chair wherein sat the tiny lady, her small hand busy with some tatting sho wished to finish for Mrs. Laurence.

“I never told a s to r . in nil my life , my dears. Then 1 am afraid, even if I could tell i ou anything that would interest you, I should disturb your father and mother in their reading.”

“Not at a ll.” they both cried, with all the courtesy they could have shown a lady of -wealth, and putting away the paper aud book, they bogged her, if sho felt so disposed, to entertain the children.

“I will go to tho sm oking room for an hour or s<x” said Mr. Laurence; and putting oil his silk-em broidered j ick et and cap left the rWom. “ 1 w ill finish this piece of ruffling,’’ Mrs. Laurence sm ilingly answered as she turned the gas higher, and soon her white jew eled fingers were plying the shining Deedle, while Miss Prim with a thoughtful countenance commenced tho story of her life.

“A truo story, Blossom, and I hope it will interest you, but*it is tho first tim e I have ever spoken of my past, so you will forgive me,” — turning to the lady of the mansion— “if I shed a few tears over past joys and sorrows.”

"Indeed, Miss Chatty. 1 certainly would over-look anything in one as amiablo as you' arc, but do not bring up memories that w ill cause yon grief. I will tell the children a fairy tale, and you can go on with your work.”

“Oh, no. indeed, not for the world would I disappoint the dear little lambs, and it wilt do me good to relate to kindhoarted ones tho story of my rather doll life.

“My father kept the lighthouse. I had no brothers or sisters, and when at fourteen I lost my dear mother, you can imagine how lonely I was. It was she who taught mo to sew aud to cut my own clothes and dresses, she who taefght me all I know. Mother was a governess before marriage and was finely educated, so I became interested in books apd study. I loved the ocean, loved it in all its moods. When the sky was stormy and angry waves wero orestod with creamy foam I would s t on tho rocks and admire, or when; tile blno waters wero serene and smooth I would ta k e m . little boat and sail on its mirror-like bosom for hours.

I grieved over mother’s death, bntfathor was so kind, so tender, he took her place in many respects. So we lived until I was seventeen.

“One nighti in January—shall I ever forget thait fearful nightP—father had the light burning brightly. We were in the cheerful kitchen with a great fire in the stove, plenty of hot water, blankets, whisky and other things in readiness for anything that m ight happen. I was darning stock­ings, father v a s dozing in his easy- chair, when the sullen boom, boom, of guns was heard. Tbe wind ehri and howled, lock ing tbe lighthouse like a cradle.

September, with her gorgeous sun­sets, her ripened fruits and soft m oon­light nights, came. It was Miss Chat­ty’s birthday. Dressed in jvbito. with pale pink blossoms in ber silver hair and on her bosom, the little dressmak­er looked as pretty and sm iling as a g ir l She bad received.rich gifts from the Laurences and many other friends, for everyone loved the geutle woman. Sitting in the twilight, alone in the great garden at Pleasant Park, for the family had callers, and the little wo­man, thinking over the past, was glad to be in tho solitude of the shadowy park, with nothing to disturb her reveries but tho sigh ing of wind or the twitter of a sleepy bird, suddenly a step approached, then a man appeared, and standing before her, repeated her name, saying very softly:

•Charity, little darling Chatty! Do you know me?"

For a m oment the startled woman thought a visitor from the other World confronted her, but when she felt tho clasp o f the warm hand, and heard the almost forgotten tones, she knew her long lost lover was before hey and she Nearly fainted with jo ..

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1888.

►T ie Asylum.

Supervisor Ambler, of Plymouth, went out to the icoupty almshouse and insane! asylum neir Wayne, last Thursday, with the rest of the supervisors. Supervisor

{Ambler ate a generous dinner, but he {walked and s’ood around a good deal by {himself. He did not appear to be doing much, but fbe had his thinking cap on and was cogitating deeply.

* A t the meeting of the Board of Super­visors yesterday (Monday) Mr. Ambler {offered a | communication the effect oil Which was! to inquire what the insane asy

iluin was there for anyway, and to arouse a ieusp ciou m the mlnd9 of the supervisors ithat the.asylum had no license to exist. iT he communication stated that the t-Xt | peoses of maintaining the insiine of Wayne [county at the county asylum last year were I about $25j006; that an additional sum of j $13,000 was put on the county to supp< rt I indigent ios me persons seut to the East- : ern Michigan Insane Asylum, at Pontiac J The State laws of 1885 requited all insane ] persons.ia^ the county to be seut to t j State asyltim. and be knewbf no authority j under vthich the county maintained an | asylum oft its own. Mr. Ambler moved j that the matter be referred, to the Prossej- j eating Attarni'y ’or explanation, and it j was so telleried. Wayne county pays onei- i sixth of all the State taxes. The indigent

insane of {each c< unty is supported by that county for two years, after which the cases are maintained by the i-tate. Other coun­ties take advantage of this law to the ul most. After two y« ars their insane cascp

j aie thrown on the State lor support, and j Wayne c>junty pays one-sixth 01 that ex- } pense, besides supporting its own cases in f the State asylum and m ainlin ing a private j asylum on its own. Mr. Ambler does not j think this is fair. The question raised ils ! exc ting [considerable interest—Detroit ! Free Frew.

A T ro u b le d co iisc le r v ee a n d a H a u n t Inir I reseu ce .

I am a m anufacturer and dealer in gravestones and m onam ents. There are three men who habitually associate death with business— the doctor, the undertaker and the tombstone maker.I have the finer feelings and seuli- inenta of the average man. yet my oc­cupation has led me to regard' the the great and solemn change, chiefly from a business point of view. That men should die has seemed to me as a matter of course, and as a necessary m eans for the support o f m ysolf and family. Still, death may produco a great shock in me, as waa the case w ill that of my friend Sparling.

We had been friends from boyhood. He lived near me; my way to and from business led past his house. I met him almost daily. Mutual assistance over some of the hard places in life, a sim i­larity of tastes, and frequent inter­change of thought and opinion had endeared each of us to the other.

#For a week I had been busy with preparations for a long business tour. It was to last three months. The day before my departure I had met Spar­ling and lind said to him: "I am go­ing on another tour. Lest we should not meet to-morrow, let us say good­bye now.” We separated with a hear­ty hand-shake and the friendliest of farewells.

I was to take tlie evening train qf the next day. My ticket for New Orleans was in my pocket, my trunk packed, the parting w .th those i t home was over, and the hack was tak­ing me to the Stat on. The pfternoon paper was: in my hand; I opened it and the fo llow ing paragraph caught my eye:

“Scdden* D e a t h — A s w e g o to p ress th e p a in fu l Dews r c a c b e s -u s o f th e d e a th o f o u r esie i-raed c itiz e n , E z ra S p a r lin g , w h ic h o c ­c u rre d a t h is re s id e n c e i b o u t th re e o 'c lo c k th is a f e ru o o u .

T h e c a u s e w ta p ro b ab ly h e a r t d isease . P a r t i c u la r s a re n ec essa r ily d e fe r re d t i l ! o u r n e x t Is s u e .”

The paper dropped from my hand; the shock made me faint for a m om ent Sparling dead! I could not compre­hend it

The hack had jnst turned into the street on which wns his house. I looked at me watch; there was not o no moment to spare.

Shall I tell the truth, that this certainly gave me great relief, just then? L of all meo, should be With the afflicted family in that dark hour; ana here was an excellent excuse for the non-performance of the sad duty.I shrank, as all do. from the disagree­able task.

The hack went sw iftly to the house; the driver knew he bad no time to lose. I saw in the twilight that the blinds were closed; two or three n eigh­bors were on the front steps. I had a glimpse of a woman doing som ething at the door. "Putting crape on the koob," I sa d to m yself and the scene disappeared lik e som e fleeting picture conjured up by the memory.

So my journey was commenced with a heavy heart I looked about anx ouslv for somebody at tbe station who could tell me more about my friend’s death. Nobodv could. The two or tbroo witli whom I was able to exchange a few words about it before the express came and went knew what I did and no more. They had seen the brief newspaper announcem ent, and tbat was all.

X lay awake twu hours that night after my berth in the sleeper was made up. thinking of poor Sparling, of his bereaved tarn ly. and what I ought to do in tho premises. It was an un­usual occasion with me; nobody, left the gap in my life that this man would leave. Naturally, I began to condemn m yself for hastening away as I had done.after learning of Ezra’s death. To be sure my plans were all previously made, and the three days' delay that would be necossary in offering my con­solations to the fam ily and attending the funeral would be inconvenient. That was all, merely a little derange­ment of my plans, not even involving mv business loss. I became angrv and dissatisfied with m yself as tbeso reflec­tions proceeded, and tried to excuse hy conduct by the plea that the news Lad come upon me so suddenly that I had no time for calm reflection n eces­sary to a change of plan. My con­science was a stern monitor, and w ou l| 'not excuse me so easily.' * “He would never have acted thus toward you .” was its comont upou my apol­og ies

I tossed about unoasly; proposed in my mind that I would get off at C leve­land and return home; resolved the next m oment that I would do nothing of the kind, but would send a long te l­egram to the widow, explaining the necessity of my absence and tendering my sympathy; decided next that this would bo an absurd thing to do—and

i i . i - : 1

at Inst fell to sleep with nothing settled. When I awoke I w as three hundred m les from home, and C leve­land! was an hour behind me. I tried to put away my thoughts of Sparling, and fix my mind on business

It'would not do. The man who at­tem pts to fight a battle with his con­science is always in the wrong, alw ays sure of defeat Moreover, that kind of a Contest will exclixfe every thing else from his mind till it is settled. When the train reached Cincinnati I was conquered. ; Iietting my baggage go on 1 left the^ear. and in a fever of impatience wafked tbe station until I could take a return train.

From the probabilities of such oc­casions I had settled it in my mind that Sparling would be buried on the afternoon of tbe third day from that of biB death. Tim e-tables were stud­ied. conductors interrogated, and it was made certain that I ought in due course'to reach home at three o'clock j in the afternoon of that day.

That would he a very close thing, I reflecteil There would be, probably, onlv lime for mq to take a carriage and join the procession to the cem e­tery. Much distressed in mind, I re­solved to do tiiis, if circum stances ad­mitted of nothing more.

But even this poor privilege was denied me. There were m addening delays and detentions; it was not until m idnight'of the third day that I left the tram at the home station.

Mv* state of mind admits of no de­scription. I feared to learn the truth;I would not inquire if the funeral lind taken place. There were no carriages there a t that hour and I walked alone through that deserted stroets.

There was a full moon and the gas lamps were not lighted. But the time was July, and the foliage often vailed the [moonbeams.

The force of habit led me through the {street where Sparling had lived. I woqlJ not thiuk of calling at that u n ­timely hour. I must learn tlie particu­lars of tbe funeral at home, but in my remorseful condition of mind it seem ed to mo the correct tiling to do to walk slowly past the house of the mourning, au j abase my soul before it.

As I neared the gate 1 saw a tall figure leaning ou it. The form and the attitude were so familiar to me as to strike me through with terror. 1 halted abruptly.

I'ho faco was slowly turned tow ard me. It looked white in tho vague j moonlight; psite and very sorrowful. It ’ was Sparling’s.

I grew cold from head to foot. W ith what little strength was left m e I tried to cross the street.

A timorous glance back over m y shoulder showed me that it was follow ­ing. Swiftly, straight it came after me.

1 could have prayed for w ings to fly with mo away from the terrors of thad place.

It—what name could I give that thing?—ovortook mo. The ayile coun­tenance still looked reproachful, ni- bukeful.

"For God's sake, Ezra.” I cried, "Dou’t come back and haunt me!" 1 was wrong, but you know I havo tried;

A smile broke over the sad face; so like his smile. In the suddeu revulsion of my feelings I fainted.

• * . * w * «t *

Somebody fanned me with a hat. I opened'my eyes; it was leaning over me-l

" N ow ”what’s the matter, Joe?” a familiar voice cheerfully inquired. "I thought you were off for tho South tbreo days ago. Anil what d’ye mean by dodging away from mo in this-fash­ion?”

I sat up.•"Ezra.” I said, grasping his hands

in Solemn joy. “you havo come back to me as one from the grave.”

' jHo! Yon heard the false alarm, did you? N othing but a ridiculous newspaper mistake, founded on the dcayh of poor old Bunting, noxt door, w ill's been dying for two or there years.

on a “mixed train” on a Dakota road, says Texas S : f tin g s< Passage on these passonger trains is never taken except for journo.s of considerable length; walking is as oasy and much faster for short distances. On this oc­casion the movement wns evon more deliberate than usual, and the passen­ger called the conductor to his seat and said:

"Isn't this motion pretty slow?” "W elL'we ain't flying. I'll ad m it” "Sure every thing is all tight?”"I think so.”"W heels all greased?”"Yes, I greased them m yself.” "Tires all on?” •"Yes. W e run through tlie creek

back here and soaked up tho wheels so that they would stay.”

“Any spokes loose?”••No.” ■•'You are certain the wheels are all

on the rails?”“They was when I come in.” "Couldn't be possible that any of

them are oil' and the axle dragging, could it?”

“I guess not.”"Are wo going up-hill?""No. tiiis is pretty middlin' lev e l.” “Do you always run at tiiis gait?” “No. wo generally hump along a

little faster'n this.”“May I ask what is tlie trouble,

then?” ,“Certainly. We found a two-year-

old steer stuck in a trestle back here, before you got on, and stopped and. helped it out. You know tlie rules of the road-aro that in such cases Lhc ani­mal belongs to the com pany.”

“But I don't see why that should make you run so ihuudering slow .”

“Why. you blame fool, we’re takin’ that steer along to headquarters; got it tied oil behind, and it ain't used to leadin’ and don’t walk up very well. I’m doing all I can; got the brakonian prodding it up with an umbrcll', and an ear of corn tied to tho bell-rope. If you think I’m goin’ to start up aud go how lin’ along and yank the horn off as good a steer a9 there is in the ter­ritory, why your're mistaken, that’s all.

Pullm an S tarted Life wijth $50.I gleaned from George M. Pullman

in a pleasant interview that be was tlie third son of a large family. His two elder brothers are distinguished min­isters. His mother wns loft a widow with five children of touder age. nnd George, w ho, was tw enlv-tw o years old. without a trado or profession, l ie had, however, accumulated a small tapital in the turn ture business in Albion, N. Y., which lie consumed in discharging the obligations incurred b; liis father’s illness, and lie was left with only $50 in tlie world to struggle for their maintenance and education. Deeply imbued with principles of probity derived from tlie examplo and instruction of his father, who had Lolmi a mechanic and inventor, it was not long before ho secured contracts to raise buildings snathe uecessar/ by ex­cavations for the Erie GAnal, and liis success brought him not only rem uner­ation but saved thousands of dollar* to .the state of N ew York in lieu of paving damages to the adjacent build­ings, as the state had been previously condemned to do. About Ibis time it was necessary to- raise tbe buildings in Chicago, and Mb. Pullman saw a great opportunity for tho exorcise of skill and ability in accomplishing that result. He moved to Chicago ami contracted to raise largo brick build­ings, which advanced liis prospects materially. Meanwhile, in 1858. his mind had been directed to tho neces­sity of a sleeping car. grow ing ou t Of the fact that he hud tried the buok o f a ear intended for that purpose od a trip to Chicago. In 1859 he alter­ed two cars for the Chicago and Altou and converted them into sleeping cars; but in 1864 lie built in a shed the "Pioneer,” which cost him $18,000. This car conveyed the body of Lincoln to its p lace of rest, nnd to enable it to pass over the road, on account of its size, platforms and other obstructions bad to be altered to conform to its safe passage — Cor.

This, writes a Memdyille (P a ) corres­pondent of the'Clereland P l a i n D i a l e r , is the lesson which* the child learns 1st school, and a materialistic science still enforces it upon oar riper years; But of late there has been a grow ing be­lief in the popular mind— that is to say, the mind of the public not bound by the traditions of the schools— that science, so called, has not yet dis­covered all the BTemies of communica­tion between the soul and the outer world. We are beginning to suspect that there may be windows in the body which the prying eye of science, With her most perfect microscope, has not discovered; that knowledge may leak into the inner chamber of the soul through some chink too sm all to admit the scalpel of the surgeon. Even such a palpable fact as the circulation of the blood is a modern discoverer?; many functions of the body are still unknown to the closest students, and it is barelr possible that the well-worn lesson of •"the five senses" m ay have to be revised by the addition of a sixth, whose functiou is in a field too spirit­ual for examination by the ordinary instruments of science.

Sometime since I had an experience with a lady who has the power to de­tect hidden things by means other than the' known five senses. The ladv calls her strange power “psychometry,” which means soul-measuring, blit which, it seems to me, is po nnmo at all for the power in Question. 1 had jt*t received a letter from home inclos­ing one from my grandfather/ who w as then abroad: and who had written me at mr home address. In ah in ter­view with the ladv. Mra S. (a pleas­ant appear ng and mode9t little woman from ’lennessee). I banded her the en­velope containing the two letters, and requested her to tell me what she sensed from them. We were standing a t the time on the hotel veranda, in broad daylight, and she could uot have read the letters without detection, even if she had been capable of such decep­tion. Immediately she replied: ‘There are two magnetisms here, one is male and the other fem ale.” ‘'Right," I replied, conforming to her terminol­ogy; "but tell me what you get from the male influence.” She at onco began a series of startling revelations. ‘ T h e letter,” she said, "is from your grand-

'father on your m other’s side. The magnetism is not healthy, and 1 judge the gentleman is not well. I see a broad expanse of water between him ami us He is across the ocean." I replied that he was traveling for his health. She gave him other details of A personal nalurelwhicli she coaid have learned only by some mysterious sense c o t possessed by the majority of peo­ple. I opened the letter and showed her at the head of the sheet a small oval photo print of Carrickfergus, a seaport town on the coast of the north of Ireland, near Belfast. "That,” said I, is the place where my grandfather is now stopping and all you have said is correct.” “Ah," said she, ‘th a t is his first plnce;” and on reflection I knew it to be true.

"Hbw do you know these things?” I asked in amazement. But she could not tell me. It was as much a mystery to her as to m self. "Do vou believe that spirits tell rou?” I asked. "No, I gat it by touching the letter, but I can not tell *ou how,” she replied. ‘‘I som etimes make mistakes, but m is­takes ouly prove that the power is natural, and. like my other 'senses, liable to err.” Site ■ declared it was ■ot mind-reading (although that term explains nothing), for It was necessary to hold (he letter in her mind in order twreveal its contents.

At another tinted 1 had received a letter from a friend who was very hos­tile to all occult phenomena, and who in the letter scolded me roundly foruiy interest in them. I met Mrs. S------abont dusk at the door of her room on the dav I reeeivod the letter. Half in jest I handed her the envelope con­taining it, requesting her to test her mysterious power on the contests. She held it tightly in her thumb and fore­finger aiid at once said: “He is scold leg you nbout som ething. The mag­netism is dark and repellant.” I asked ber if she could get the name of the

, sender, and in reply she traced with her finger upon a book which she held the name exactly as it was signed to the lei'er Eor a moment this lady seemed to me a veritable Pytho­ness. M excited faucy contem pi ding her in the growing shadows of evening. surrounded her.with dark, m ysterious forms that fluted iwo and fro at her biddings that peegn d into Hie hearts of men and told her i lia r iniiost secrets; that crept into u op -nod letters, ajjd by I he 1 glit ol tneir own eyes read the eon-

tents for the information of their mis­tress, that followed me about (horrible thought!) watching my most secret action*, revealing to the weird en-, ebantress my inmost life and thoughts. But she was no witch. Meet tier ou the street or iu the drawing-room and you would not find her different from others of her sex. She ceuld laugh and jest and bo merry; that awful mys­terious power ever with ksr by which she could read the inmost secrets of her companions. In colonial tim es she might bare been hung for a witth, hut in these days she is sought by Indies and gentlemen of refined society, who marvel at her strange revelations of their lives.

The phenomena which I bare nar­rated are facts, not fiction, sad antil scientific men do more than curl their lips in scorn and elevate their specta­cled noses at the merest m ention of a field of phenomena out9ide th e pale of their material investigations, I shall hold that the human organism , so ‘•fearfully and wonderfully nade," aon-

.tnius powers and faculties still an- dreamed of. and that the orthodox enumeration of man’s obannete of knowledge must be revised, b / adding to the five senjes i>f old-time physiolo­gy a sixth, whose range is larger, whose impressibility is finer, whose penetration is deep er than that of all the other five put together.

‘•Of the many devices employed in the manufacturing of illuminating gas," said a well-known official of a Brooklyn gas company to a Hew York M ail a n d E xpress reportar, "none has seemed more attractive to inventors and manufacturers than the ose of petroleum oil in the plaec of coal. Some very considerable advantages seem possible by its use, and although It was pretty thoroughly triad a aam - ber of years ago and geu era ly dis­carded, the question of su b s tr in g it for ooal has been revived and is again receiving considerable atten tion

"There is no question that the gas which can be readily enough mad* from the oil is very h gbly luminous, and this is an apparent advantage. But there are other considerations, and the first of them is the eosk i t seems as though it ought to be cheapen than coal, unleass at a time when cool is un­usually cheap. The gas from oil is called of sixty-candle power, hot it is exceedingly doubtful whether A eon be to maintain that standard when stored or delivered in the usual m oaner to towns or cities.

“Even if it can be sixly-oaodle gas as it is ordinarily used, it is net worth twice as much as tbirty-eanffle. or three tim es as much as twenty-candle gas. The greater pressures at which the higher qualities have to be con­sumed in order to get the beet results eject the hydro-carbon partieles from the burner at such a rapid rat a that mtDy of them are wasted aafi aet burn­ed at all.

"There have been many deveoes for securing the greatest light from the burning of a given amount ef gas, but most of the inventors start wrong. Ther use sm all burners aud high pres­sure. When the quality of gas is stat­ed as of such a candle powet, it eau only be compared with other gas that is used through a standard burner, by testing it with the same burner."

A young fellow ia white flannel shirt, white dock knickerbockers and white yachting cap is slid ing into the water the prettiest craft that floats, a small decked canoe. Her polished cedar sides shed the water like a duek’s feathers as her bow goes under., comes up again and qhe floats' along­side. She has no thwarts or rowlocks, hut two cushions are flung into her bottom and on the float lie two long, fiouble-bladed paddles

"Now. then,” says the young follow, ami a girl steps lightly in. Her feet arei on; the steering yoke uuder the front b itch and one of the, paddles lie across her knees She leans iu half-reclining posture against her sw inging backboard, the young man seats himself on the cushion behind hoc, the paddles rise and fall and— hal­lo, the spray is slapped fairly in tho girl’s face, as the canoe dives into a curling wave. !<’•

will dry her off and leave not a trace of I the river’s kisses behind. Care? It

iuld not discommode her greatly if you flung her overboard. She has paddled her own canoe from March to November, and knows every mood of the Hudson as she knows tho face of her mother. Onoe again the paddles dip on one side, then on the other. The canoe is tossing like a obip in mid­stream.

Bat the float is not empty. Another ; white-shirted canoeist is running up a spread of canvas to take advantage of the wind. “All right. Mary,” he says, when the mainsail and dandy are ad­justed, and with Mary tuokod ins de another canoe is scudding before the breeze. Many’s captain is not tucked inside. The canoe heels as the sails' bolly and. perched on the deok with tees clinging under tbe opposite side, he leans well out to windward. Now and again a heavy * wave Duties his shoulders in tbe water. Mary laughs as the breeze blows atiffer. Sbe is used to tbe canoe's frolios; besides she- sits on a rubber air cushion which an­swers every purpose of a life preserv­er. The wind and the foam orisp her hair and she trails her hands iu the water as one ware after another lifts the stern and then lets it down with a swash into tho hollow.

The white caps are curling over the whole stretch of the river and the ca­noeists are com ing out in foroe. Here is a party of four on gypsving intent. They have two. canoes, and what are they storing in the hatches and under the deck? An iron frring-pan and som e steel knives and forks, by m y halidom. And there goes a tin pail and some slid iog cups. One g ir l ha9

Tom Fitch told it b s way. he said, but that Wasn’ t i t At that time Tom was in the in­terior; and this young fellow, rather green, cam e through on a trip. Tom got hold of him and filled him full of all sorts of stories that made the young man’s hair stand on end. At last they

H e was giving the stranger som e letters of introduction to friends In other places, when the stranger, after some hesitation, said: “Say, can’t you give me a pass?”

It is said that ou oae occasion Morrison brought a stag party home with him and insisted npon a carouso in the drawing room. Several members of the party suggest­ed that as the hour was la te , it would be wiser to disperse, and the group stood on the front steps discussing the proposition.
