cloud of-smukc ceilingwurd.
"No, thaifk von,- I never indulge

"Never a -word," replied both, look

The above conversation occurred in
a room of one of K deiliV. hotels not-
long since
Fred Botkon was
a drummer for a
Baltimore house, and was one among
the- most-popular young commercial
tourists who ever visited the city, and
while in town might be found almost
any niglit in ins room one or
two
jovial companions, for y hile he could
not be termed what is known, as a
drinking man, he was ond of a glass
of brand v and soda, and erenerallv had
a reserve fund of jokes on hand.
"Tell, us how yon come to get caught
in this '-net matrimonial; and why it
hns such an influence over your moral
conduct, for I am sure there must be
something out of the ordinary in it,':
said Bob. 1

romantic; but it is rather a long storv
and my wife being somewhat sensitive
on the subject, ! think it hardly worth
while to tell if.1'
''Pshaw!- Let us-have it. Here's a
light. Now go."
Being-thus urged, Fred Bolion pro
ceeded as follows, but we will omit
the many interruptions during i?s re
cital, and -giveit in his own words, as
near a -possible; " .
"Yon remember I was here last sum

, may be the turning point in
our lives either for weal or for woe.
'As I got on the tnain I went im-
mediateiy for the smoker, lit a cigar,
raised tbe window and gaz.'d out at
the whirling landscape, and indulged
in a d uT-dream of fairy-like air castles
as the train sped on to the monotonous
tune or its evenasting clatter, clatter,
clatter, clatter, plat, plat, plat, over
the ties- speeding througn meadow,'
woods and dale, while the sun sank
slovlv to rest in a halo of glory behind
the wesfeni hills. But I have, ever
found it true, that when wo imagine
ourselves most 'happy and contented
with ourselves and the world in general,
a disturoing, element is strre to pop up.
hThere were several parties on the car
who seemed "to think that m order to
keep ones-spirit's up it-was "'necessary to
pour them down, and their 'load dis
cushion of politics in general, and
"Why Farmers are Poor," in particu
lar, was "not very edifying to me, so 1
retired to the sleeper.
"As I entered the coach ajal looked
aroifnd for a vacant seat, I was con
fronted by a pair of daisy-blue- eyes,
fringed with long drooping lashes, and
a "face of such exquisitely beautiful
peach-blossom tint, that I was for the
moment completely daz -d 1 could
scarce get -mv breaih and I was so
iitrw.ij I am sure I was awkward, in
t lie extreme, for I could no more cou
trormvselt" than Leonid fly. " .
"There is no ife talking, gentlemen,
it was love on first sight, and I lei t
then and there that it would be a
pleasure-to die for just such an angelic
face as the one before me, surrounded
by a cluster of brown curls, with a
nervous, twitching little. rose-bud of a
mouth, which seemed to be asking for
sympathy, aid and love.
"1 he only entirely vacant seat vylis
just behind this paragon of loveliness,
and i dropped down! in it m "a state of

etc "coi lapse, J so to speak, and
'there came stealing over my
shnvlv
senses, imparting. a balmy feeling of
dizziness, the faint sweet odor of the
delicate perfume of violets indescrib
ably delicious. -
"Just across the aisle from -me, sat
two gentlemen, one seemingly about
fifty years of age, with an intelligent
face and dignified bearing, wearing a5
neat-htting iron-gray- suit, -a modest
gold watch chain, and eye-glasses. He
smiled ninthly at me as he nodded, his
head in polite recognition - of my en
trance, then buried his, face in the folds
of the newspaper he had been reading.
His companion (for he seemed hi bear
that relation) was one of entirely dif-
ft rent type, being rather i hick-set, red- and improbable theories without arriv

men,1 and my mental deductions were
not, very flattering to the short indi
vidual, for I flatter myself that I am
a pretty good judge of human nature,
as most, drummers ar. Then my eyes
would involuntarily wander to the fai.
vision before me, and I observed that
she constantly cist, furtive glances at
the parties opposite. I watched this for
some time, all the while feeling ill at
ease and nervous, as if partially under
some mesmeric spell, and felt that. I
must do something in order to divert
the magnetic influence which seemed
unconsciously to be stealing over me;
so I took out my order book and turned
over the leaves in an abstracted7 man
ner, when it slipped from my fingers
and fell over the seat in front of me,
almost in the lap of the lady sitting
there. . This so confuted me that I
scarcely knew what to do whether
to apologize to the lady and nk a
return of the book, or whether I should
lean over and secure the book without
attracting her attention. At this mo
ment she picked up the book, cast a
wistful, timid glance at me, drew a
goKl pencil from a reeticule in her lap.
and turned her face determinedly the
other way.
"To say that I was dumbfounded
would mildly express it. She deliber
ately commenced to write in my book,
and shortly after threw that fair
rounded arm and shapely little baud
carelesslv over the back of the seat,
with the book clasped in her fingers,
hut never looking at me, 'or turning in
her seat the while. Securing 1 he book,
I read, to my intense surprise, the
following;
"Your face looks like a kind one,
and I am in din? distress Will you
help me? My name' is Lydia Mo-s.
from Tennessee, and flie gentleman in
the opposite seat is my step-father,
who is inking me home to become the
bride of the brute beside him in order
that between them they may control j

guilty of such conduct as that was an

that she remembered my face, as in a
