Nettie left the ! office—Nettie works; she's very clev- er; I just help ma keep house—well, a8 I said, Nettie left the office for a whole: morning to get ma a through ticket and check her baggage, and we both saw her aboard the express for Truly, we nearly missed the train even then, because ma had packed her best bonnet. We hunted high and low for it till nearly train time. Then Nettie finally concocted some sort of an affair out of & piece of crape that no one had packed because wé didn't think it good enough. Well, I think 1 told you before, we saw ma off, crape bonnet and all. ‘Then Nettie sent a telegram to pa in Chicago, saying: Ma left on the noon train. Meet her tomorrow. NETTIE. Nettie and I were pretty busy that afternoon and evening. Several people | came in, and there were a dozen and one things to be done about the house. So that night Nettie and I slept the sleep of the just. We thought we knew where ma was. Next day Nettie went to the office as usual, and I was busy sorting out the papers in my desk when I saw a telegraph boy mount our éteps and ring the bell. Maybe I didn’t hurry then! I just snatched the telegram from that boy and tore it open. This is what I read: Noon train is in from New York. Where is Ma. PA. “It was signed “pa.” Nettie came along the street just here, and I rushed to her like a maniac waving the paper at her and shouting in a high key: “Pa wants to know where's ma.” Nettie stared at me in dumb amaze- ment. Then light came, and with it revelation. “Pat, she has stopped oft at Phila- delphia,” declared Nettie solemnly. 1 forgot to tell you that ma's father, Grandpa Klein, lives in Philadelphis, and her brother and youngest sister. Well, when we got ma placed in Philadelphia, mentally, we felt better. However, Nettie telegraphed back to pa to ease his mind: Ma left Tuesday. Probably stopped Philadelphia. Where is ma? NETTIE. That last sentence she just put in for sarcasm, but at the end of a week it had come to be so well known at the telegraph office near our home, that the operator thought that it was some sort of signal or code phrase. She used to try different ways of spell- ing it to see if it mattered. Once she had it, “Where is maw?” Another time, “Where's ma?” Sometimes she put an exclamation point after it; sometimes a question mark. Once she just had, “W’s M?” but we knew what it meant. Our telegram became such a daily affair that it was like the newspaper or the milk. Every night we had & telegram for dinner. In the meantime, where was ma? [ Of course, we found out afterward. Indeed, while we were tussing in New York, ma was taking her ease and & lovely vacation in Philadelphia. On the arrival of the New York- Chicago train at Philadelphia, no one ‘was visible to meet her. So ma went to the ticket office, got her ticket vali- dated, or extended, or whatever it is that postpones the trip from one train to another, and then found that she had forgotten my uncle’s new address. Ma thought a few minutes, and then went to the telegraph office, and there it she didn’t trace Nettie's telegram! She found the address. Just as ma started up the street, she | was met by a colored maid, who, recog- nizing her from a picture that she—the maid—had dusted many times on the mantel in aunt’s sitting room, stopped and asked her it she was Mrs. Gilpat- | rick. Naturally ma said yes. She soon | came to the house, and was welcomed | | with open arms. It seems the telegram had not reached them, through some delay or other, so they did not know. about meeting the train. The family would not hear of ma's leaving that night, and they coaxed and cajoled her day by day until she had stayed a week. All this time we bad no word from her, and Nettie and I were getting frightfully worried. Finally, at the end of the week—we had telegraphed to the City of Friends | twice—we received a dispatch saying: | sta Philadeiphia. Am lea | P oy P e Nettie and 1 sighed relievedly. We | thought we had ma located. We sent word to pa that same morning. Next afternoon we got our daily. I8 was changed alightly: | MMa not here.

So we decided to | await developments. I did. We waited another week. In the meantime, ma had started from my uncle’s home with the best | intentions in the world. She was go- ! ing to Chicago.

But why con- | tinue? Exactly two weeks from the time ma waved a fond farewell to us at the Jersey City terminal she landed in Chicago. The trip usually takes 28 , hours, except by the limited, when it takes 18. ! Pa, by this time, had business which took him to Duluth. He was staying ;at & hotel not far from the house ' which we had leased, waiting for ma { to come and finish settling. When it ' became a necessity for him to go to Duiuth for a day er two, pa racked his i brains considering how he should de- scribe ma to the hotel people well enough to have them put her in his room and look out for her until he got ! Finally he thought of her picture, which he always carried in his watch, . and he gave it to the clerk. | “This is my wife,” pa sald. “Now, it she arrives before I get back, don't let her go away again. Put her in my room, give her the best of everything, but don't let her go away.” This was on Friday. Early Wednes- day pa came back from Duluth and found ma sound asleep, snug and warm abed. That evening Nettie received a tele- gram: Congratulations are in order. Ma is here. P, A | A week later, when Nettie and I started to join them, I sent a telegram. It read: Nettle and I are starting for Chicago. Where’s ma? A lady bad a Tiend who called to see her one day, accompanied by her poodle. On the way they met an old beggar woman, whose appearance so annoyed the dog that it promptly bit | the mendicant, whose howls and la- mentations terrified the kind-hearted | lady. “Here, my poor woman, here's ten shillings for you,” she said, nerv- | ously tendering the coin. The old woman grabbed it, and then fell on her knees in the middle of the road and started praying for all she ‘was worth, regardless of mud or mo- tors. “And people say the lower orders are irreligious and ungrateful,” solilo- quised her ladyship, who was quite touched by the exhibition. At last the supplications became more and more vehement, and curios- ity prompted the domor to inquire The 0ld vagrant stopped and looked tt_hr sympathetic inquirer. ), ; 90' I'm askin’ the blessed saints to lm‘:’.vtn::u to bite me on ! e ans .—Lon- | e swered.—Lon Somnolent Egyptians.
