Perhaps they think it i» very silly | to even dream of such things as cances. But slowly during the winter the big brother had saved just as much money as a canoe would cost, and in June he wrote his sister a little note. “In the note he said that he had a ‘little present’ for her which be had Bad put in the cellar and that she would find it there if she went and looked “Now, the little girl could not for a moment imagine what kind ot a pres ent would be put in the cellar.

It was successful in France, though the republican government es- tablished there under Louis Napoleon was converted by him into an {mperial one. In Germany the effort was a failure, and the lenders who were able to get away became citizens of other countries, some finding a home in the United States. One day the government of Prussia received information that Carl Weber. a young man who had been especially active as a leader in the revolution, was intending to board a train in one of its stops after leaving Berlin with a view to escaping through Belgium. The chief of police was notified to take measures to arrest him. The chief arranged with the rallroad oficlals that any one boarding the train should be put into a certain com- partment, where government agents had been placed. These officials, be- ing satirfled that Weber was in the compartment, were to arrest him. Now, this man Weber had been un- der the eye of the government for some time, but they had been unable to nab him. Several times they had arrested some one who was supposed to be the revolutionist, and it was dis- covered that the wrong person had been taken. Indeed, he had achieved a reputation for slipperiness, which induced the chief of police on this no- tification of his intention to leave Prus- sla to take every precaution against | deception. In the first place he disguised his men on the train so that they should not be recognized as officials. One was a wrinkled old man, one was made up to look like an English duke, anoth- er a young fop. These persons left Berlin in n compartment by them- selves. There were three of them, all well armed, for it was known that Weber was a desperate man, who would fight to the death. At that early day there were not the large number of persons traveling there are now. Ralflroads were new, and a car resembled several stage- coaches spliced together. In the com- partment in which the government of- ficials traveled there was room for eight persons, four riding forward and four backward. Therefore there was room for five besides the officials. At the first station a man was put in with them. They scrutinised him, but shook their beads. Weber was very young, and this man was past fifty. His beard was stubbly and gray—a sure sign that he was approaching old age. At the next station a young girl was conducted to the compartment. See- ing no one in it but men, she declared that it was not a proper place for her to travel. Nince the orders were to place every vne boarding the train in that compuartment. the railway official insisted on her entering it or remaining behind. The latter course would in- = volve waiting over a day. for at that | time there were very few trains. The young lady, therefore, with apparent | reluctance entered. She beld in one band a portizanteau, in the other a bouquet of flowers. The official made up for a fop gallantly alighted, took ber portmanteau (she held on to ber bouquet) and handed ber into the coach. The next stop was some distance away, and all trains were very slow. The young lady showed so much em- barrassment at being shut up with a lot of men that he who was made up for a Britisher, in feigned broken Ger- man, assured ber that she might con- sider herself under his protection, though there was no need of it, for| the other two men in the compartment were respectable persons. This seemed to relieve the young wo- man's fears. To show her apprecia-| tion of his kindness she took a flower from her bouguet and gave it to him. He beid it to his nose and, finding the| odor delicious, continued to sniff it The old man settled himself for a nap or pretended to do so, while the fop ogled the lfln‘hlnlfltunfi ously she took out j at rose and leifning his Ticad™ back on the cushion. fell asleep. “You do pnot appreciate the perfume of the rose. herr,” said the fraulein. “I'ry this one.” She drew forth another and beld it to his nose herself, looking into his eyes intently and with a pleas- ant smile on her lips. The man began to feel drowsy and. suspecting that something in the rose was affecting bim, endenvored to put it away with his hand. But tbe frauvleln smilingly resisted. and he passed into slumber. her smiling face fading before him. At this juncture the old man, who was only dozing and that naturally. opened his eyes and, seeing one of his companions asleep with his head on the cushion and the other sinking into unconsciousness, looked at the fraulein suspiciously. “Look!” she cried, pointing out through the window, at the same time assuming a frightened expression. The man looked and, seeing nothing of importance, turned again to see him- self confronted by a weapon in the bands of the girl. Advancing toward him, she pressed the mucsle of her pistol against his forehead and pressed her bouquet to his nose. He must el- ther get a bullet in his brain or go to sleep. He chose the latter course. ‘When the train reached the next sta- tion the guard reported that the three men in it were asleep and the fraulein missing. PRI, An Incident of the Chicago Fire By JOHN TURNLEE Kimball Burroughs came of age in the autumn of 1871. His birthday oc- curred on the 8th of October, and he celebrated the event by giving a din- mer. 1 was present and have occasion to remember the date perfectly. The 8th of October that year fell on Sun- day. How I happen to remember this will appear as 1 proceed with my sto- ry. Two other events in Burroughs’ life were celebrated at that dinner. It for he was to be married the next evening, and he came into possession of $500,000 invested in negotiable se- curities. The autumn of 1871 was a very dry season. Chicago, the city in which we were living, had experienced a series of fires. While we were dining fire en- gines went clanging by incessantly. Lifting a curtain of a west window, 1 saw a great yellow glare § less than an bour every one of us uud left the dinner table and gone out to witness the beginning of the great Chicago fire. Burroughs® wedding did not take place the next day. for his home, the home of his Sancee and the church he was to have been married in were all either in flames or in ruins. What troubled Burroughs mest was a that his securities might have been stroyed. They were in the keeping of his guardian, and among those who the fire flend had satisfled its gether convinced Burroughs that be had lost his fortune, for the securities were not of the registered kind, but in the nature of a banknote. At any rate, it he recovered any of his inheritance he could do so only after a long proc- ess. As soon as Burroughs was convinced of this he went to his fiancee and of- fered to release her. She wept and moaned and vowed that she could nev- er love any one else, but did not give any definite answer to his offer. But when a month had passed and her lov- er was hard pressed for money to meet his immediate espenses she turned him down. We who had attended our friend’s bachelor dinner feit that be had made a narrow escape. Miss Eth- erling, the lady in question, had in her own right something like $20,000. This gave ber an Income of but $1,000 a year, and she needed much more than that to enable her to keep up ber po- sition 1n society. cleared away for a building to be erect- ed on La Salle street. Under the ruins was found a safe, the contents of which were in perfect condition. One bundle of papers turned out to be my securitles. “The remains of a man were discov- ered also and identified as those of my guardian, Samuel Coolidge. He had' doubtless removed the contents of his | firm’'s box from the safety deposit vaults and carried them out into the street. Driven by the fire into another | building, be had found an opportunity l to put them Into a safe, but, penned in | by flames, was unable to escape. “] propose his memory, standing and | in silence.” \ It is quite lkely that there m' many other cases of devotion to duty during that pandemonium, the heroes and the heroines ot which were buried under the ruins, not to be exhumed. Burroughs and his wife, their chil- | dren and their grandchildren are living, a bappy and united family. Miss Eth- erling died a disappointed old maid. Heart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LURIE “USELESS.” Bernard Chernow, twenty-six years old, of New York, thought that he was a “mere cog in the world's machinery ~—nay, a useless cog." 80 Bernard Chernow died. And that! was the end of a life that might have been made useful and valuable to the | world. He did not kill himself—that is, nof directly. He simply died from lack of | the will to keep on living. Perhaps | his brain was affected by an injury, seemingly slight. which he sufféred a! short time ago. Perhaps overstudy | had inflimed the delicate tissues of | the brain. At any rate, he is dead, and the world is poorer. For the letter which Bernard Cher- now left behind him tells in simple, eloquent. pathetic language the story of a life that might have been useful, even brilliant, defeated in its purposes was a fa 1l to his bachelor a ! by too much introspection, too much thought of self. Instead of directing the energies of his mind to the task u of working out some definite, simple scheme whereby he could be of use to, his fellow man Chernow brooded over his inability to achieve a single, set purpose. He wanted to be a teacher of the young, and because be was not en-| dowed with the natural abllity to ac- quire excellence in drawing his aim was defeated. Instead of turning to another purpose within the compass-of his undoubted powers he brooded over his “faflure.” “It seems to me that I am a mer “That {is right, 1 will} come at once.” The physician slipped into a fresh ! white coat and, opening a door in one corner of the office found him- self in a small room fitted for emer- gency cases. On the narrow white bed was the slender form of a young woman. Miss Smith, the nurse, was removing the black broadcloth costume with quick, deft fingers. “Badly hurt, Miss Smith?” asked the doctor. “A broken arm, I think, and I am afraid of concussion,” she said in & low tone. The doctor leaned over the lovely unconscious face of the girl and made & rapid examination. “It may be concussion, but I think it is only shock. The arm is fractured ~—send Harris in.” Two hours later Doctor Drayton retired from the sick room satisfied that the unknown patient would re- cover. “You will, of course, send her to & bospital,”. suggested Miss Smith. *T tBink not,” Hesitated the" dGetor. He felt very tenderly toward the young thing lying there on the bed. A week slipped by, and still the sick room was occupled, much to the un- spoken amasement of Miss Smith. One day, the patient opened lovely hazel eyes and smiled at the nurse. “Where am I?” she asked faintly. “At Doctor Drayton’s house,” re- plied Miss Smith primly. The eyes closed again and a faint flush stole over the pale face. “Please tell me what has happened,” she murmured. Miss Smith told her in a few words of the automobile accident in front of the doctor's office. “We have ! been unable to learn your name,” she suggested. “Alice,” murmured the girl, and ‘went off to sleep. “Have you discovered her name?” asked the doctor on his next visit to the sick room. “Merely: that it is Alice—she seems disinclined to talk—it's rather a mys- terious case, Doctor Drayton. Per ' haps she has no home—no people.” “] wish she hadn’t—I would adopt her in a minute,” said the doctor grufly as he left the room. He found™his son smoking in the Harris. brary. “Hullo, dad, rushed as usual, I sup- pose?” said the young man as he re- turned his father's hand grip. “Yes—and I have rather a puszling private case in the house.” A tap came at the door and Harris poked a disturbed face inside. “I beg your pardon, Doctor Drayton, But Miss Smith wants you to come once—the patient insists on leaving the house and has demanded her clothes, and Miss Smith doesn't know what to do.” Archer followed his father into the cog in the world's machinery—nay, a| ball useless cog.” Had he but applied his mind to a short study of machinery he would have perceived that in a well buflt ma- chine there is no “useless cog.” “Each thing in its place is best.” and the lit- tle cog in the tiny gear. if it but serve the purpose of its invention and crea- B DX, FOR B BUSIESS If Your Business Is S8mall Try & Little Ad. and Watch Your :::: BUSINESS GROW. :::: DVERTISING Is the Huphen That Brings Buper and Seller Together.
