I come pesky near swearing soma profane oaths more'n onct, but I hopo I didn't do it, for IYe promist she whoso nama shall bo nameless (ex cept that her iuitials is Betey J.) that I'll jine the Meetin House at Baldinsville, jest as soon as I can scrape money enuif together so I can 'ford to be piuss in good stile, like my welthy nabers. Bat if I'm confkticated agiu I'm fraid I shall continner on in my present benited state for sum time. I "figgered conspicyously in many thrillin scenes in my "tower from Jlont gomry to my humsted, and on sevril occasionsi I thought "the grata komick paper" wouldn't be enriched no more with my lubrications. Arter biddin adoo to Jefferson D. I started for the depot. I saw a nigger sittin on a fence a-playin on a banjo. "My Afrikan Brother," sed I, coting from a Track I onct red, "you belong to a very interestin race. Your masters is goin to war exoloosively on your account." "Yes, boss," he replied, "an' I wish 'em honorable graves," and he went on playin the banjo, ' larfin all over and openin his mouth wide enn3E to drive in an old fashioned S wheeled chaise. The train of cars in which I was to trust my wallerable life was the scaliest, rickytie3t lookin lot of consams that I ever saw on wheels afore. "What time does this string of second hand coffins leave?' I inquired of tho depot master He sed direckly, and I went in & sot down. . I hadn't nior'n fairly squatted afore a dark lookin man -with a swinis ter expression onto his countenance en tered the cars, and looking Very sharp at me, he axed what was my principles? "Secesh!" I answered. "I'm a Disso luter. I'm in favor of Jeff Davis, Bowre gard, Pickens, Capt. Kidd, Eloobeard, Munro Edards, the devil, Mrs. Cunning ham and all the rest of 'em." - "You're in favor of the war?" "Certingly. By all means." Tm in favor of this war and also of the next war for over sixteen years!" Tve bin in favor of the next war. "War to the knife!" sed the man. "Bind, Eargo, Bind!" sed I, tho thorn words isn't orrigernal with me. We got under way at larst, an' pro ceeded on our jerney at about the rate of speed which is ginrally obsarved by properly conducted fnneral processions. A hansum yung gal. with a red mar keter bar on the back side of her hed. and a sassy little black hat tipt over her forrerd,. sot in tho seat with me. She wore a little Sesesh flag pin'd onto her hat, and she was a goin for to see Iter true love, who had jined the Southern army, all so bold and gay. So she told me. She was chilly, and I offered her my blanket. "Father livin?" I axed. "Yes sir." ' "Got any Uncles?" "A heap, Uncle Thomas Is ded, tho." "Peace to Uncle Thomas' ashes, and success to him! I will be your Uncle Thomas! Lean on me, my pretty Secesh- er, tnp linger in Blissful repose!" Sha slept as secoorly as in her own housen. At the first station a troop of Soicrs entered tho cars and inquired if "Oi l Wax Works" was on bored. That was the disreepectiv stilo in which they re ferred to me. "Becawz if Old Wax Works is on bored," sez a man with a face like a double brested lobster. 'we're goins to hang Old Wax Works!" "Jly illustrious and patriotic Bum mers!" sez I, a gittin up and takin orf my Shappo, "if yon allude to A. Ward, it's my pleasin dooty to inform yon that he's ded. He saw the error of liis, way at 15 miniU parst 3 yesterday, and stabbed hisself with a stuffed sled stake, dyin in five beautiful tabloos to slow moosic! His larst words was: 'My per feehernal career la over! I jerk no more.:" "And who be you?" "lam a atoodent in Senator Benja min's law offds. I'm goin 2 nr north to steal some spoons anl things for the Southern Anny.'L, This was satisfactry and the in toed- cated troopers went orf. At tho next station the pretty little Seceshcr awoke and said she most get' out there. I bid her a kind adoo and giro her some per Tishons. "Accept my blesdn and t'uia hunk of gingerbread!" I aed. Shethaukt me tnuchly end tript paly away. At the next station I didn't get orf so easy. I was dragged out of tbe cars and rolled in the mud for several uinita, for the purpose of "takin the conseet oat of ice," as a Secesher kindly stated. I was let up finally, Twhen a powerful Iargs Secesher cam up and embraced me, and to show that he had no barj feeiios ario me put hi' noj into mf lutwtli. lrctnruL'4 tho tvupliuuuit by ffMW HADanarrer MM sonny South. placln iny stmnmick suddenly ngin his rigl-.t foot, when ho kindly made a spit toon of bis able-bodied face. Actooatcu by a desire to see whether tho Secesher had been vaxiuated I thn fastened my tocth onto hia left coat sleeve and tore it to the shoulder. ;' Ve then vilcntly bunted our heads to gether for a few lniuita, danced tiroimd a little, and not down in a ni'ud ptvUlo. We ria to our feet agin, and by ft sudden and adroit movement I laced iny left eye anin the Sccesher'a fLsb We then rushed into each other's nrics aud fell under a two-hoss wagon. I wan very much exhanstid and didn't caro about gitfin up agin, but the man said horeck pned I'd better, und I concloodcd I would. He pulled mo up, but I hadn't Tnh bh my feoTTfloTO'ii tnvrr seconds afore the ground flew up and h;t me in tho hed. The crowd sed it was high old 6port, but 1 couldn't zaekly seo wlit.Tij tho laftore come ia. I lis and we cm braced ngin. We cau-erod madly to a steep bank, when I got the upyr hands of my antagoiiist and throw him into tho ravecm. Ho fell about forty fcset, strikiug a grindstone prt-tty hard. I understood ho was injured. I havon't heard from the rrriniisti.iis. " A Mian in ockt-h;it wiuuip oild sod he felt as though a apology was doo me. There wiw a mistake. The crowd had taken mo for another m.".u'. I told i;im not to mention it, and a::ed luia if hh wife and little ones was sotu tolxsfibrat, and got 6u bor.jd tho train, whicli had stopped at that station "30 n:init3 for ro fresliments." I got all I w.iutid. It was tho hartiest meal I over et. ' I was rid on a rail tho nest day, a bunch of bl.azin liro crackers bain tied to uiy coat tale3. It was a fino spectycal in a dramatic pint of viow, but I didn't enjoy it. I had other adventures of a sturtliu kind, but why continner? Why lasserato tho Public Booznin with those here things? Snffysitto say I got across Mason & Dixie's line safe at last. I made tracks for my huinstod, but she to whom I'm harnist for life failed to recognize, in tho omnshiated bein who stood before her, the gushin j'onth of forty-six summers who bfid left , her only a few months afore. But I went into tho pantry, and brought out a cer tin black bottle. Raisin it to my lips, I sed, "Here's to you, old gal!" I (lid it so natral that shj knowed mo ut once. "Those form! Them voice! That nat ral stilo of doin things!.. 'Tis he!" sho cried, and rushed into my arms: It was too much for her & she fell into a swoon. I cum very hear swoundin myself. FOUKTII OF JUI.Y OEATfON...

Charles Henry Ludcrs in Century. APDLLMAKXAILWOOINQ Scone: Eastern bound Pullman car at the Oakland mole. Time: S:3l)p. iu. Enter eirlerJy gentleman, carrying small vali.'io and largo hamper. 'Fol lowing him two ladies, evidently mother and daughter. Daughter in d:irk bluo traveling costume, with large bunch of violots pinned to front of her jiickot; is a pretty, slender girl, of about eighteen. Doth laden with flowers, books und numerous umall parcels, which t'.iey do- posit in. section nearest middle car. The following convereation ensuai: "Gladys, detr, I am really worried over your taking this trip alone. Il.'td you not better wait a day or so, to mo if wo can hunt some ono up to accom puny you?" "Oh, no, indeed, papa. It was un fortunate that Mr. Wilson waa taken ill so suddenly this morning, so that Mrs. Wilson could not go with me this afternoon, but you see I'll liavo to ctarfc today to roach Oinalm iu lime for Clara's wedding, especially us I'm to bo bridemaid. You and mamma must not worry, for I shall got along oil right alone." In tho ineanwhilo 'other passengers como iu and find their respective sec tions. Tlio engine toote wnmingly, A few riioro kisses and hurried instruc tions and papa and mamma aro gone. Tho train moves off, slowly at Un,t, then witii increasing speed carries her farther and farther away from tiio.two worried souls sho had just left. Gladys felt a little frightened at tho prospect of this, her tint long Journey alone, and kept her faeo turnod toward tho fast flying but unnoticed land- scape," for the blue eyes behind the long veil were blurred with tears. Her thoughts ilew back to her par ents, now on tho way to their homo hi San Francisco. Sho know how much they would miss her tho only cliild though she was going to stop only a few weeks with her Omaha friends. Sho thought, too, of somo ono else who well, somo one who was also left lu Sari Francisco. ; ... ' Finally turning to inspect her fellow travelers, sho thought tho few men and two fussy old ladles looked very unin teresting. Thrown carelessly hi tbe section "TJiposito was a valiso and a man's ulster, but tlio owner was not visible. She turned her attention to the books, candy nnd flowers piled up In front of her. She read, smiled over and tucked' away In her bog tlio earda and tiny sealod notes bidden in 11 hi candy boxes or attached to tho bou quets. Tiuio passed, and with a reckless lit tle yawn Gladys glanced at lier watch and found it wo after 6. Tbo porter just then announced that a stop will bo made now at Sacramento for dinner. Gladys thought of tho bother of un packing tho neatly strapped hamrxir for Just ono meal, disliked the idea of go ing out at tlio station alono, wished Mrs. Wilson had como, then decided to dine on candy, as sho was not very hungry. At the moment a familiar form came np the able, and in a second a tall, handsomo young man was standing near with outstretched liand. A gleam of amusement was in his dark eyea as he qui-t)y said, "How do you do, Gladysr A delicate pink colored lier cheeks as sho shook hands and answered him with a surprised and rather cool, "Why, Jack, where did you come from 7" "From tlto smoking room, whero I've been for the last three hours, ever since I camo in, and found you so wrapped up in tho scenery you did not see roe. ho replied, moving some books away and sitting beside her in the movt mat ter of course way. ' Whiife are you going, Jack V -"To Omalia, Gladys." "What for I" asked she suspiciously. "Partly business, partly, pleasure. Buiirxsn, to take earn of yon; pleawuo, to bo with you," bo answered ouo eisely. "ow, Jack, you know this is very foolish,, after" "Lat night, when you refused me again. Yes, I know; but you sc I can't help bt-mg foolish. Was bora so, I guess, " said Jack renignedly. Dead silenca followed this for about two mluutos. She looked steadily out of the window, while he gated absently at the Lakl head of a man a few seats in front. Then be broke tbe aOenco by leaning toward ber and saying- in a soft and persuasive tone, "Gladys, won't you rtcKilcr wliat you sokl Lost night?" . Looking around: acrvou2y to see if any ono could bear, sbo answered, "No, Jack please don't go over that again, for it won't do ono bit of good." He looked disappointed; then, pick ing up lier Jacket, said, "Well, we're almost, to Sacramento. Como, lot us go out to dinner." . Gliuiys rcso quickly, glad that sho did not; have to dino on candy after all; and wiurjp' helping her with her coat 'Jtick'cjually remiirhed : "xou nave low ox nowcra." 'Yos, and these lovely violets they cmno tliia liiornltig with no card at tached; but I 'think I can think you for them," sho eaid, looking up bright ly at hitu. , A teudcr look camo into his eyes as ho saiilr-Ycs,-1- pent-thorns- and I'liw much obligod to you for wearing tlicin." "Oh," said Gladys, ratlior coolly, "1 had no prefn'.rorico. They matched mj drcwi so well that is why I wore them." ''Yes, I soo," nsscntod ho as coolly. "Thofio cream ixmmu would 'not look well with it (it nl!, for instance.."" Poor litdo violots that lutt remark eawicd Uieir dethronement, for tho girl with a 11 ukIi hastily and angrily de-tJiched-gonv saying, Compter think of it, tho roMes would bo' far iuoroo fectivj," nnd pinned a few of flio long stoiuiiK'd Ix-autics ia their plow. Just fui (juiiUly Jack replaced a fow violets lio l;;ul worn in lib coat with a rosebud thr.t a!iO dropped, saying, "Sliiie !Lra wi! bored, too." Gladys looked annoyed, but faid notliinsr, nnd in livo minuto) they trsro hurriedly eafiug dinner at tho otulion restaurant. S Afterward'jaclt aniiwcd and cntcr tiiuod her tiH tho early bedtime, and alio slopt soundly that riight, feeling safo with a friend so near. Carefully looking from boliind her curtain next morning, Ciladys bhw Hint tho opposite Si'ctkiTi had been cfiangod from "two beds to Iwo seats" asaiu. but J:i:k wiw not visible. Half an hour found her dreader, waiting for him to appear, aa ho intended OMldng hhn to brealifatt out of tho well stocked hampor. Presently ho camo in, and after a very alight limitation smilingly ac cepted her invitation. Ho helped her unpack tho Iiamper and sot tho table iu her neetioii, nnd In a perfect galo of fun they brgnn thoir morning meal, sitting opposite. "This is fun, Isn't' Itr said Gladys, ppcaring for a Kuxlino with a corkscrew, for Jack, as company, was lionorod with tho only for!:. "Iniiiiense!"' ho assented Ra ompliat icolly that sho laughed gleefully. EmboJvh'ni.'d by this, J;ick, in tho act of carrying a pitxso of cold chicken to his mouth, loaiml orer, and lowering his voiott a:id for1; at tho s.-inia time, said coasii!)ly, "Lt'a break fast together always shall wo, Gladys f Sho smiled in spito of herself at his tono and mtuiticr, even whilo a dainty frown sliglitly maimd lier pretty fore head, and alio answered briotly and era- pliatically: "Couldn't think of such a tiling. Don't bo silly. Jack." "Oh, you cruel littla girl!" said Jack dramatically, as ho stmigfitened up and proceeded to eat tho morsel on his fork. Their merry little meal over, tlio rest of tlio day pasnod In tho usual routlno of a I'ullm.on car. Jack was all do votioii ' from llnrt to last. . Roading, talkhig and eating, with hasty little promenades when there was an oppor tunity, was the order of tho day. Gladys acknowledged to herself, af ter bidding him good night, that Jack was a very plrwant companion but !o did not want to mtJTy him; no, ln dcotl. Jock HoIUks hail known and loved Olnlys 1'ns.ten citico he was a boy of nineteen and sho a littlo (firl of four teen, lie lia1 proposed nnd lx?eti do clinexl several tiinea, but knowing that sho did not disliko him, and Itelieviug that "everythhig etnaoH to tho man who wait,'' ho was waiting, and in the meantime wooing to tho best of hid ability. He was very much afraid slie would mwt somo othrr man during ber vMt, who would fall In lovo witii her and win her; hetioo his deep laid schomo to travel to Omaha, with her. As for Gladys, after her flrxt surpriio at seeing him on iMiord, site was so ns 2d to lib never failing devotion tliat sho took his coming witii her as a matter of course. It was Just liko Jock, sho thought. The second monu'ng GLkJvs oroso with -a taw bead.ielw, With that and a wrctehed night's f locp she was worn out and cron undeniably so. B!k nubbei pixjr Jack, who was nil syin(iatby; refused the cup of tea ho brought her when th'y changed cars at Ogden, and wlnsn tlio journey l:fui Again lay W-k oh tlin pillows he fixed in tho sent for ber and would have nothing to s.-iy if liiiu. - All day kIw suffeml Intensely, feign ing sleep mcrt of the tiuio to avoid being fudsod over by the sympathetic old ladies. How Jack longed to take tbe golden brown bend in his arms and stroke U;e tlirobbing temples. Toward evening, when tlto rest of tho pocecngera were out at dinner, lie aked her, with a pas siouato trowor iu LU voice, to give him tho rhjbt to do so. She was trying to swallow tho tea be had again brought In to her. Pushing it a way slie said angrily : "Jack, you boiher ino to deatli. Don't ever mention t'.iui subjoet to mo again, for I will not marry you. (K away, and con ( fpeax to mo at all." Tlicu tlio aching head dropped wterily back on the pillow. Jack paled, toot tlio half emptied etip and walked silently out of the car. Thai was the hat she saw of lain that A , TTT "r nlglit. ! She hod ber berth mado op early, and, utterly exhausted, soon fell Into a refreshing sloop, from, which sho owoko hi tho night with the headache gono. . , .... ,,...' . . ; . ' .. Her first thought was of , .Jack, and her eyes opened -wide with shante as sho remembered her rudeness to the rnau who had always boon so kind to her. . Sho recalled the pained, sot look, as ho liad turned away tho evening be fore, and resolved to ask his pardon tho first tiling in tho morning, when, of course, hu would .forgivo her and, they would bo good friends again. -i. . t , Moming found Gladys herself again, sweet and pretty as ever; but no Jack to bo seen. ' Ho had not come in to taker breakfast with bcrr as she expeefc. rd, so she decided ho must have oaten at tho station, which had boon passed early, before eho was up. After a lonely little breakfast by her sejlf, sho wjttlod down comfortably with a book to read and wait for him to cotna urd mako up. Tlio houra passed, hovcvw, and Btill no Jack." His trajw were still opposite, bo ho inust.bo ou tlio train, probably in tho smoking room, where tho other men (pent most cfheiirtime; Sho began to grow very indignant at his neglect. ' VTo be sun, 1 told him never to Beal; to mo ajiln, but ho knew I did not mean it," soliloquized Gkvdys; then tos'cd her head and vowed she didn't caro what he did. At luncheon titno the saw him disap pear ia t!io e.ithig room without so liiucli a look even in her direction. Shortly after tho train moved lie saun tered cardcisiy into his section. Meet ing lier wondering eyes ho gravely bowed, then taking a book, was to all intents soon absorbed in its contents. , Her heart eeciiied to .sink a few inches as sho fully realized that he liad taken her- hasty word3 literally, and did not intend Breaking to her. But prido came to her resrtuo, and she was apparently as mticli interested in her work as he was in liis. Tho afternoon rolled on, and still thoy read, never glancing at each other. As tlio train drew up at tho din ner station ho threw down his book, and, without a word to tho girl across the oi-'ilo, fauit out, talking and laugh ing withpiio of tiib uieiji . - Gladys, who had not left tho car that day, timidly asked the old ladies if sho could go out to dinnor with them and was promptly taken under their wing. After dinner Jack staid in the smoking room playing card3. Then, as tho shadows (larkehcd so that sho could not soo to road, Gladys' spirits fell to lowest ebb. Turning to tho window, but noeiilg nothing of tho fast diirkening landscape, sho gazed steadily out with fast filling eyes. She realized nnd confessed then to herself how much sholuul missed Jack all day. On tho train flow into tho darkness. The car lamps wore Jit nnd berths were being mado up all around her. More and more lonely and low spirited she grew. Tomorrow morning would bring tliein to Omaha, wliere her friends would meet her. Sho would go one way, Jock another, and ho would never speak to her again. Tho last thought was too much for her, and by this time she was crying noftly but bitterly in tbe corner, with lier face btill turned to the window. ' Ah, Jack, deliberately staying away all day from willful litUo Gladys waa 4 diplomatic stroke of yoarsl , Suddenly somo ono leaned over her and said softly, "Why, Gladys, home sick already f" Startled, she turned quickly, and with a Joyful littla catch of ' hr breath daubed her handkercliief over her eyes and answered shyly, "No, 'Jack, only lonesome, and I I'm sorry 1 was so rudo yesterday"." He sat down, acrccning her from any prying eyea, and said very low, "Gliuiys, darling, were you crying because I've been such an unmanly beast todayf Tho pretty bond dropped lowers but no answer. Jack glanced around ; no ono was looking. Taking her bond he said: ''Gkvlyx, oceo more I ask you to bo my wife. If you say no, I shall never trouble you again, but shall take tho first train homo from Omalia to morrow, a disappointed man. Which U It dear, yes or no?.' Still no answer. "Say yes, denteRt,'' pleaded Jack, with bia hps dangerously near the fluffy bung. An almost imperceptible nod wnn all tlto answer ho got. Dut St seemed to sat&fy him. CJcntly raising her head he stele a kbrs Jutt in time to escape Uio porter's inqui.' itive eyea as ho came cp blandly asking the ypurig lady if site was ready to have her berth made up.
