of an hour later I rapped at tho ticket
window. The depot agent, who was also
telegraph operator, was In his Mall Inside,
mid .lifter a Ioiik delay he opened tho sitsl.
"Is the train later" I asked.
"If It Isn't on time then It's late, Isn't

"How late Is the. train?"
"I diinuo."

got us a pitcher and showed us a barrel of

was something touching. He kept us

to all that he had resolved to turn over a

The doctrine of a "soul of goodness In

try as salesman for a hardware house. In
many of thu newer mining towns tho hoteh
were rough seeming places, anil werei
haunted by swaggering visitors who ca-'
roused till midnight.
At one time when Billings bud eolleeteii
a considerable sum of money ho put up nl
a hotel, the piopiletoi-of which was a thor
ouglily dangerous looking customer, Il

really In fear of his life. Yet there was
nothing to do but to make the best ol
things, and accordingly lie let I red to hi

call him at I o'clock.

found that he had not been uiurdeied, .

lie fought witli all his might, till u six
shooter was placed at his head. Then lit
yielded. The robbers went through Ids
pockets quickly, sei.ed his watch, his re
volver and bis satchel and mndo olT
It was useless to follow them, ami h
kept on to the railway station. Ho In
formed tho station master of what had oc
curred, and nt tho next town, twenty miles
away, sought out tho sheriff nnd put bin)
ou the track of tho thieves.
Thu watch and pii)ers wcro of compara

about was the loss of tho money. What a
pleasure It would bo to see that hotel
keeper, who he felt sure was at tho bottom
of tho affair, safely behind the bars!
Hut just as thu officers of the law wen
about setting forth in pursttltof the thieves
Hillings received u telegram from tho sta
tion agent. It read thus:
"I havo recovered your grip nnd many
papers found near wliero tho robbery win

Ill an Isolated hospital ward were two
patients one a very nervous and timid fel

sick man died and thu timid fellow lay,
trembling with fear, in it bed near by him.
To relieve the timid patient of his unat
tractive companion, a hospital orderly was
told to remove the coipsu to tho dead
house. The orderly proceeded to oliey with
alacrity, and ou entering thu room found
the two men, one (thu corpse) lying ou Ids
Hide, knees drawn up, apparently asleep;
tho other (the timid chap) stretched out
sillily, w 1th the sheet pulled over his face.
Natuially supposing thu one with the sheet
spread over him to Imj tho cot pse, ho pro
ceedtsl to remove him.
The patient, (pinking all over with fear,
gioaned, "Oh, don't don't take me; I'm
