Well ma'am, it was quite a story, but I never felt free to tell it to any- body before; but since you are so anxious to know about it, Ill tell you how it all came about. Them fine embroideries and the yards of crimping’s off my mind now, and if you'll take a chair, I'll talk and rest a bit. You'll hardly believe me, seeing what a heap Miss Sanderson thinks of me now, that it is only little over & year now since I first knew her, but it is just so. It all came about through Jim. -Jim’s my only son. ma’am, and he’s been better'n two years a tow-boy on the horse-cars. You don’t know what 2 tow-boy is? Well, ma’am, it’s the boy that has charge of an extra horse to puil the cars up hill. From fiye in the morning till three in the «fter.oon Jim’s going up hill with a car, or down hill to wait for one. . He's a good, steady boy, and his wages are a great help, seeing I am not strong enough for heavy washing, and fine ain’t always to be had. Well, ma’am, about fifteen months back, Jim, not being well used to the horses as he is now; fell off and broke his arm. He came home, and the pain threw him into a fever, and he was very bad for quite a long spell. It was when he was lying very sick, that one day I heard a knock, and opened the door for the prettiest young lady ever my two eyes saw. She was about eighteen; as white as one of my fine collars newly ironed, with the prettiest touch of pink in her cheeks. Her eyes were as blue as the china cup you see on the shelf yonder, and her hair as fine and yellow as corn silk. She was dressed plain, but every- thing she wore was of the finest quality, and fitted as if it had grown upon her slender, little figure. “Are you Mrs. McArdle?” she ask- ed. “Yes, Miss,” I said, hoping 1t was fine washing she wanted done. “I heard to-day that my best scholar in Sunday school had met with an accident. You are James MecArdle’s mother, are you not?” “Yes, Miss,” Isaid. “Will you walk in? and thank you kindly for calling.” She camein and I told her all about poor Jim, and she gave me a basket she had for him, with some fruit and flowers she had all fixed in it like a picture. Notas if it was charity, you see, for we've never come to that, ma’am, though I’m not saying we haven’t been pretty hard pushed sometimes. But as I was saying, the basket was as pretty and delicate as if it was for a fine lady instead of a little tow-boy, that had got hurt earning his day's wages. After that she came often and oft- en, bringing Jim books and little tempting things to eat, and sitting to talk with him, ‘and always as mer- ry as a child, though she was a lady, every inch of her. Then, when Jim was getting bet- ter, and the care of him a little off my hands, she asked me to do up her fine things, and her papa’s shirts, as if it was a favor I was doing her, telling me how particular she was, and the trouble it was to her to get suited in fine washing. Well, ma‘am, not to make too long a story, after Jim got well, I went to the house twice a week to get the washing and take it home, and I al- ways saw Miss Emma. It was a grand house, with parlors like a ho- tel; and wide staircases, and great bedrooms splendidly furnished. And Miss Emma had no mother, but was mistress of it all. Iwas all taken aback the first) ry. time I saw her pa, for he was’ so rough as he was gentle, and looked more like a laboring man than a fine gentleman, for all his fine clothes. But he was very prompt to pay, and always had a pleasant word for me about the beautiful ironing of his shirts and cuffs. And, though I say it as shouldn't, you might go along way to find prettier linen than I took up every week to Mr. Sanderson's. But after a bit, I noticed that Miss Emma was losing her pretty smile jand merry words, and was pale and} | often red-eyed, as if she had been General Passenger and Ticket Ag’t, | crying.

Jim’s a master hand, ma’‘am to read and he gets the papers often that’s left in the cars, and reads the stories, or maybe he wouldn’t a no- ticed what he did. “Why, mother!” says he, “there was a gentleman used to come with Miss Emma to church.

Well, he has not been to chureh for more’n a month, and I'm thinking he has lost his money, and her pa’s sent him off.” I pooh poohed that and told Jim | he was silly, and didn’t know what he was talking about. | “You didn’t hear me out, mother. ;and as if he had some care on his To-day there was a new conductor on 32, and it was Miss Emma’s beau | —Mr. Thatcher!” Well, I did stare, Jim was mistaken, but he said he’d know Mr. Thatcher anywhere, and | We} talked about it a long time, but you } he was sure that it was him. see there was nothing we could do, and I thought Jim was right, after all, and maybe Miss Emma's pa had sent the poor fellow off, when he lost his money. It was; maybe, two weeks after that, or three, that one day Mr. San- derson came to the house, all in a | flutter. Miss Emma was sick with typhoid fever and they wanted a nurse, and she wanted that nurse to be me. Dear, dear, but I was flus- trated; butI sent Jim to his Aunt Jane's to board, and shut up the rooms. and went off to the grand house. Poor Miss Emma! We nearly lost her, though her pa had the best doc- tors, and I nursed her faithful. She took the fever visiting one of her and was sure} | | ery- bit of toast and a little bird nicely browned, with the best cup of choc- olate I could make, I coaxed her to situpabit in a great arm-chair. When I had her all comfortable, I said: “Miss Emma, I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time but I was afraid you'd think I was stepping out of my place.” “IT should never think anything unkin ' of my dear, good nurse,” she | said, and slipping her little, thin | hand in mine so loving it made the tears come in my eyes. “Well, Miss,” I said, “if you won't think it is impertinence, I will tell you. Jim told me that he saw Mr. Thatcher in the cars a bit before you | was taken sick, and—well, Miss, don’t feel too bad abcut it—he was a conductor.” I was afraid she'd faint, ma’am, or I was never so took aback in my life as I was at the way she act- ed. She satright up in the chair and clapped her two little hands to- | gether, and just laughed like a | child. All the merry light that was | gone solong from her eyes came back. “Oh, you dear, darlizrg nurse, I could just kiss you, and I will!” And she did. “Jim said he looked very grave, mind,” I told her, “and he had none of his fine clothes on, but a gray suit and a slouch hat.” She laughed again at this. “And did he take the fares, just like any other conductor and ring the bell?” The idea of that tickled her so much that she had to laugh again. I suppose I looked as astonished as I was, for pretty soon she said: “Now, for your good news, you shall know all about it. I suppose you guessed,” and she got rosy-red “that Harry and I were lozers.” “Jim suspicioned it!” I said. “Jim has sharp eyes! Now you must know first, dear nurse, that my father, though he is a yery rich man, was as poor a boy as Jim is, and he made all his money by hard work. Sohe has a great contempt for young men who do nothing. He thinks every man in this country rich or poor, should have some hon- est work to do, and do it. Money is often lost, you know, nurse, and if a man is too fine to work, he may starve.” “Indeed, that’s so!” I said. “Harry—Mr. Thatcher—nurse, Sunday school scholars, and she was not very strong any time, so she took it very hard. One day, when she was very bad, I heard her ask her father: “Papa, where is Harry?” “J don’t know,” he said. Then he began to tell her some- thing in a very low voice,and I went down stairs to make lemonade, not to hear what wasn’t meant for me. The poor young lady was very sad all that day, and I mistrusted she cried, when no one was watching her. It was none of my business to in- terfere; but I fretted more’n a little about what Jim had said, and I wondered if Mr. Thatcher was Har- I couldn't ask him, because I would not allow him to come near me for fear of the fever. Miss Em- ma was so weak, too, I didn’t dare to leave her or say anything to ex- cite her. It was up hill work for us, for she was weak as a baby, and didn't) She had | honestly earned wages, from your seem to care to get well. had a large fortune left him by his father, when he was a boy, and never did a day’s work of any kind in his life. I did not know why he stop- ped coming to see me, and—well, I will tell you—I felt ashamed and sorry, for I thought he did not care for me as I had thought, while I did love him. Of course, nurse, nobody knew that, and nobody ever should know it, only that you have told me such good news to-day. When I was so very sick I asked papa where Harry was, for knew he saw him the very last time he was here. Then he told me that Harry came that day to ask if he might marry me if I loved him. He told papa that he was rich, and we know that he is an honorable, good, man. Then papa | told him that he would never give me to an idle man. “When you can show me three to be coaxed to eat or to try her | own work, I will let you court my strength, and was willing to lie | child! : : quiet all day, which ain’t natural in | “Theat was what papa said to him. young folks aftcr a long sickness. | He thought he was ADETYs for he Most times they are in too great a/ turned on his heel and went out of hurry, and throw themselves back | the house without any answer.

When Jim could come without Emma sent for him, and then she made him tell her just how the new conductor looked, and all about him. “Is it real hard work, Jim?” she asked. “It is, indeed, Miss; early and late, and in all weathers. But Mr. Thatcher stands it first rate, though he is burnt some;” Then Miss Emma made Jim tell her the very day Mr. Thatcher went on the cars first, and noted down the date on acard. She would not let me go for several weeks, and paying me big wages all the time as if it was just hard nursing like the first. SoI was still there when the three months were over, and if I hadn't known, I should have guessed there was something Miss Emma expected that day. She ciressed herself in a new white organdie, as fine as a hair, with a little blue sprig all over it, and she put on a blue ribbon under her lace collar, and in her hair. She couldn’t settle down to read or sew, but just fidgeted about all the morn- ing. “I know Harry will come to-day,” she whispered to me. And sure enough, he did come. Miss Emma was in the large parlors, and I was fussing about there too, knowing all the time she was keep- ing me busy there, just for compa- ny- Mr. Sanderson's private sitting room is off the parlors, and we heard somebody go the whole length of the hall, and knock at his door. Miss Emma took hold of me, all rosy and trembling, and then we heard a man’s voice say: “There, Mr. Sanderson, are three months’ wages, honestly earned, by hard work. And here is a letter from my employers, recommending me for sobriety, industry and hon- esty.” “Well done!” we heard Mr. San- derson say. “You will find Emma in the parlor.” I went out at one door just as GHOULS CAPTURED. Two College Professors Taken While Robbing Graves. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 25.—Three prominent local physicians planned to rob the graves of Tom Johnson and Ed Pearce, who were buried at the New Albany, Ind. cemetery last Saturday, early this morning, and the storm seemed friendly to their plan, but the officers got wind of it and were in waiting, and Drs. J. T. Blackburn andW. E. Grant were ar- rested and placed in jail. The third fled and his identity is unknown. A negro accompanying the two who drove the wagon was shot dead as he started to run. A second col- ored man who went along to help the ghouls was arrested. Medical students from this city are said to have robbed this ceme- tery repeatedly. The offence is a felony in Indiana. Drs. Grant and Blackburn were indicted by the grand jury at New Albany this afternoon on two counts, robbing a grave and conspiring to commit a felony. The punishment in the first case is from three to ten years in the penitentiary; in the sec- ond two to four years and from $200 to $5,000 fine. Dr. Grant is demonstrator of an- atomy at the Kentucky school of medical science and Dr. Blackburn is the assistant in surgery in the same place The college will back them with all the money necessary. The Hon. Charles Jewett and other eminent counsel have been employ- ed. On the other side Prosecuting Attorney Anthony has engaged the Hon. Alexander Dowling a leading attorney to help him. Owing tothe high standing of the men whose graves were to be robbed, there is great indignation at New Albany. The two prisoners were to-night taken to the prison at Jeffersonville.
