operator at Jones Station, and Lucv
Lorillard operator at Nineveh, the next
point of communication, with nothing
but the distance to prevent their inti
macy. They had never met, however,
except electrically, and were total
strangers to each other till one New
Year's morning, when it occurred to
Miss Pearl to send the following tele
gram to her nearest neighbor and fellow-
laborer: "To Lucy Lorillard A happy you could die for him !"
.Hew Year: Pearl Silverlv " partlv be- "He would be a fine
cause she was idle, as hers was a branch
xoute, with very little business and less
pay, and partly because she was in need
of a friend and a friendly word.
The answer returned promptly:
" Thanks. The same to you, and more
also. If wishes were horses, etc." 1
"father slangy," thought Pearl,
but good-natured. I guess she has a
brother at home." And so the ice, once
Ihawed, had no chance to stiffen acain
of .a
ex-
'figger
man ' to let you die for him." :
"You do know how to put an
tinguisher upon sentiment. "
Later.
Pearl: "I've got something dreadful
to tell you."
" And bad news travels fast."
" I've got a lover."
" I knew that before. What's dread
ful about it?"
" Oh, I don't want him ; he's old.
" Saints and ministers of grace defend

"And Aunt Hidden says it's ' my duty
to marry him."
" And I say you shan't."
" He walks with a crutch, but Aunt
Hidden says I can ride in my carriage.
He is deaf, but she reminds me that I
am not dumb. He wears a scratch, but
after this. There was little business, as might be my grandfather."
l said, going over the lines from Jones
Station to Nineveh, and as the operator
at the last named place seemed likewise
to have unlimited leisure on hand, the
two held frequent electrical iete-a-tefea,
and Pearl bogan - to feel as if she had
known Lucy Lorillard from infancy as
ii tney nad gone to school arm in arm,
and learned their lessons from the same
lxxk.
1 Pearl's home was in her unci a's family,
-where there were three cousins and an
aunt, but no uncle now. . She could
never exactly tell how it oame about, but
gradually, from exchanging pretty civili
ties and pleasantries and the news of the
day across the wirys, she found herself
presently telling this Lucy Lorillard,
upon wnom sne had never set eyes, al
most everything she knew and felt and
mffered or enjoyed, and receiving expe
riences and confidences nnd words of
comfort in return from said Lucy Loril
lard. Notliing was too trivial and noth
ing too great for the two to discuss
. acres tho lines between Jones' Station,
ani Nineveh.
Sometimes they conversed in a novel
manner about the books they had read,
and the journeys they would take when
He was found in his library chair stiff
and cold last night. Aunt Hidden says
no doubt he has left me something
handsome, and if he hasn't, it's justice
upon me 1 I shall never accept an iota.
It belongs to his poor nephew, and would
be only legalized highway robbery."
" You have the nephew's prospects
very much at heart ; he ought to feel
flattered."
Still later.
" Liz and Aunt Hidden went to Squire
Gable's funeral. I had a nervous head
ache, and so escaped. Liz came home
raving over the squire's grandnephew,
the only mourner she had eyes for
little else. Bat how foolish I am!
What do you care about Squire Gable's
nephew?"
" Perhaps I care more than I'd like
to own, alas !"
"Ah, sits the wind in that quarter?
They sent for me to be present at the
reading of the will. I didn't go."
"You might have seen the grand
nephew." "I wouldn't have gone to see the
Grand Lama. But I saw him at church,
and thought it wouldn't be so difficult
to fall in love with him as with the
squii e, upon my word now don't laugh
though he isn't my beau ideal."
C" Let those laugh who win."
Miss Liz was wondering if the squire's
nephew would settle down in the old
place or go skylarking over the world,
and if Parson Longmeter would bring
him to call, or how she should contrive
to make his acquaintance, and whether
green or blue became her complexion
best, like the foolish milkmaid in the
story; while Aunt Hidden's mouth was
watering on account of the old china and
silver ware at Gable Hall, ''that might
as well have been in the family as not,"
she grumbled. "And there wasn't a
track in the carpets nor a scratch on the
furniture, and I've no doubt there's silks
that would stand alone folded away in
the attic, and nobody the better."
' And while she bewailed Pearl's folly,

Pearl, who presently dropped in a heap
into the nearest chair and burst into
tears, at the discovery that Lucy Loril
lard was a man !
The telegram read :

Squire Gable's money, but his graceless nephew,

And so, you see, Pearl was persuaded,
after all.
Cruelty to Cattle:
The Cleveland society for the pre
vention of cruelty to animals has re
ceived a letter calling attention to the
ill-treatment to which animals are sub
jected during transportation. The story
is as old as it is disgraceful, and it is
strange that when such practices as it re
hearses are made known to the public
some action is not taken to suppress
them. It is generally known that cattle
coming from the West are transported
in cars which are packed so full of them
that they cannot lie down at all, and
nere tney are Kept witnout food or
large scale that it must be a swindle of
long standing, and is probably not con
fined to New York. Under the weekly-
paying system, the New York companies

This printed form, which purports to be
a bill of sale, is really only a lease of
the machine, and one of its clauses em
powers the companies to instantly seize
the machines upon any default in any
payment, and to declare all the money
already paid iorfeited. This power is
maliciously used. Within a week, fif
teen women whose machines had been
seized by one company complained to
the Protective Union. One of them
paid G3 of the $66 originally due, and
had tendered the other $3 a day or two
after it was due. Another paid $102 out
of $110. Her machine was then seized.
A friend paid the remaining 88, but the
company refused to give up the machine
unless $20 " interest ", was handed in.
A third case was still worse than these.
A sewing woman bought a machine, for
which she was to . pay $30, and which
was to be kept in thorough repair by the
sellers during a year. Before this time
had expired, she sent it to be put jn

cause of much of the disease which pre

years ago was the way in which they
were treated on their way to market be
fore they left Texas. They were made
to perform long journeys in such haste
as to ruin them and spread a sort of cat
tle plague wherever they went. At that
lime attention was called to tne neces
sity of putting a stop to this cruelty and
false economy if we did not wish to
suffer its physical effects in our own
bodies, and it was shown that in trans
portation it would pay to have cattle
cars so arranged that each animal could
lie down in its stall, have food and wa
ter, and not be tortured in the old stupid
and infamous way. The improvement
in the condition of cattle would more
than compensate for the additional ex
pense attendant upon the construction of
such cars, and there was no good rea

made. Still it was not made, and strict
legislative enactments rigidly enforced
in regard to the matter seem to be the
only means by which the brutality of
drovers and transporters can be countervailed.
