"She's co uic, und she's Just ouclios."
"Tbo new achoolma'nm?"
It lad become known thnnicUout
School district No. 3 that a new bcIkhiI
ma'am would take hold on Popt. 1, and
It bad leaked out that she was youni;
and pretty. She would Inmnl around,
as all schoolteachers do tn the country,
but would put !a tfce first two weeks
at tho homo of Farmer Uo.x, where
Abe Itotsfortl was blml man.
jLbo vns twenty-flve years old, as
steady as (rrnndfathrr's clock and ns
timid as A girl. JJB bad lcen almost of
A mmd to run nwny for those two
WCt'k9 and only thft fact tlmt tho fann
er wna not roellnfC 'well and the work
vrai drMmflntl kept lilm from poliiu.
Tho day bad been set for the teacher to
arrive and a ncllihor had driven over
to tin railroad town and fetched her
In his htifrwi-. Aho wad ci'ttin' corn
nhmj; n roadside licld wln n Un iiei!i
b:ir siui'tied and addressed him us
aliove. It was t o'cl ick In the afier
uoon and sujiikt would n "t he ready
until (!. Those were l.iiij and unenni
fortahlo hours f.ir A he. lie realized
that he was homely, ungainly und tm
cultivated, and the Idi-.i of meet in;' a
real youtin lady and havini; to nit at
table and converse with her set his
heart to pouudlni;.
"Yon comb your hair, put on a col
lar and n coat, and I'll introduce you,"
said Mrs. Hoss. "She's a pirl that
shines over any one lu this county for
looks, hut sho won't be snippy. You'll
Just he plad that sho came. I'm fat and
homely and don't know beans when the
bag's untied, but sho Just put her anna
around my neck and kissed me when
she came, and I feel as If I'd known
her for a year."
Aho would rather have had six of his
front teeth pulled, but it was all over
In n few minutes. She called him Mr.
Rottiford and began asking about farm
work, and in ten minutes the thump
ing of his heart had ceased. When sup
per was through and he went to the
barnyard to milk sho followed hitn and
asked many quest ions,
Aho felt that he was living in a dif
ferent world for the next two weeks,
nnd when Miss Ilatllo Messinore went
to board with another family it seemed
as if she took all the sunshine with her.
It was then that tho hired man discov
ered that he was in love.
Abe was da.ed and frightened by his
discovery. lie didn't hardly dare to ad
mit It to himself, and not for tho best
farm In the state would he have put
anybody next. He loved the pretty
schoohna'am, and he knew be loved
her, and yet when he thought that to
get her for a wife he must some day
stand in her presence and tell his love
n cold shiver went up bis back.
There is always more or less tr mlilo
for tlie country selnohna'am. Then?
were three "big boys'' in district No.
who set the rules nt defiance. There
were three or four fanners' daughters
who were Jealous. Then' were parents
who thought the teacher showed par
tiality. There were two widowers and
three young men who wanted to marry
her. Mie v. i ut the even tenor of her
way as well as she could, but as the
weeks slipped past and her troubles
diil not diminish she she 1 tears.

when Aho drove past the sehoolhouse

il :ie and crying. The young
heart swelled at sight of her
It als i swelled with indignation
when she told him of her tribulation.-'.
Then he furg.it who he was, bis timitl
i;y v;,ni-hod, a great courage took pos
sess! m of his soul, and ho asked for
the right to protect her.
lie never could recall the words he
used, but she understood. She brushed
away her tears, gave blin her band and
then talked to Li tin like a sister. She
painted out things to him that hurt,
and yet in their hurting ho bad to ac
knowledge that they were facts. She
spared him all she could, knowing what
a big, honest heart be bad, but she
made bhn see that morrhige between
them was Impossible. When be left her
be bad beeu dealt a bard blow, and yet
be said to himself that She .was the
very best little woman in all this
world.
Few men can face a woman after
finding that their love ba9 been lu
vain. At least they must have time to
get over tho hurt.
The schoolma'aiu bad no Idea that
Abo would take it so seriously, but be
went home to give notice that he should
go away In two weeks. Then be took
the trail. The widowers and young
mcu who were buzzing around the girl
were cither knocked out or had to give
tbelr solemn promise to boul off. The
Jealous girls were told that they were
red beaded, cross eyed nnd freckle
faced nnd eouldu't even tnko third

plaining of partiality were given rec
ipes for a certain ailment common to
children in tho country who do't wash
often, enough and who eat too many
buckwheat cakes.

How He Get His Start
Li
tOii.;!n;il
A young loan who had luivii d. b! fa
ther the day la-fure opened a safe iu
which the family papers v. ere Kept,
took out a tin box und, on raising the
cover, saw on top of the pile one ud
dft'sscd to himself lu his father's hand
writing. Ilrvukiiig the soul, be mid:
"When, my dear son, you receive th
shock iu store for you contained In thin
pupor I shall be removed from nny re
proaches you may feel like cum: lug ujv
ou uie. I have always lutciuhsl to tell
you what I om telling you now. but
as you grew older and our wealth in
creasiM I shrank from doing so. Know
now, my son, that the father whom you
have always loved and reverenced was)
once a common trump. My father
would make a farmer of me or appren
tice me to a tradesman. 1 had n i fancy
for either occupation. What I was fit
ted for was then not apparent, and tbo
result was that I was cousldeivd fit
ted for nothing, and this was partly
my own opinion. One day, frenzied fit
the restraint and humdrum life of u i
saddler's apprentice, I broke away fiM'!
him and became a trauip, !
"O.ie I'.vht I was steaii'.i::- 1 wMl 1 J
could Use some oilier word a ride tin-,
dor a ear on an express train, when tip" j
breaks were applied suddenly and llic !
train came to a quick slop. 1 heard i
several shots ahead and surmised th it
tho train had been held up by robber.
I was under the front end of the smok
ing ear. liehiud were tlie passenger
cars, next before me was the baggage
and express ear and next the locomo
tive. Two men, whom I could see by
the dim light were masked, passed rap
Idly from tho front to the rear cars. I
let myself down and ran Into the wood
close beside, the track. The ground
was higher on that side, and, going
forward, I could look right Into the lo
comotive. "The engineer was lying dead on tho
cab floor. A masked man stood be
tween cab and tender, leaning out and
looking backward. Two men came for
ward, and I beard them tell their own
engineer that the express agent bad
been too quick for them and had lock
ed the doors of the ear. The engineer,
who seemed to be their leader, swore
at them and, pointing to a pile of ties
beside tho track, told them to take one
of them and burst open the door. Seiz
ing a tie, they begun to batter at the
door, tho engineer watching them from
the cab Impatiently. It was plain to
me that he wished to go and do (he
work himself, but dared not leave the
cab. Presently his patience? gave way
and with a smothered growl he Jump
ed down nnd ran to them.
"Then It occurred to me that were
I In bis place I could not restrain my
self from doing Just what lit? did. I
saw an opportunity for me to save the
express ear. If 1 could uncouple the
ear and get Into the cab I might run
it off before they could stop inc. It
was a slim chance, for even if I got the
car uncoupled unobserved and started
the locomotive they had only to go half
a car's length to get on the cab, kill mo
and turn off the steam. The danger
only made the plan more fascinating to
me. Within a few seconds all these
things passed through my brain, and
my resolution was formed.
"Sliding down the Incline, I got titnl'T
the express ear on the opposite side
from that on which the men were
working, though by this time they were
at the rear door. I ran along beside
the cur and stopped under the very
platform on which they were operat
ing. Fortunately I was familiar with
my position, .lust as I came beneath
them they drew back for another blow
willi the tie, which, by the way, was
hard to wovk between the two cars.
and when they pushd forw ard I reach-
ed up and seized the coupling p!u.
"Now, if cars had been coupled then I
as they nre now, It would have beeu
Impossible for me ti separate them,
Had tin? coupling pin been held by
their being Jammed together or pulled
too far apart this nlso would have
blocked my game. With the seuflllng
going on above I could not know
whether the pin was loose or tight till I
tried it. My heart stood still as, taking
advantage of the thickest of the tur
moil, I reached up and was overjoyed
that I could remove it easily.
"Now came the second part of my
plan. Dashing forward. I climbed to
the cob, threw back the reverse lever
and as gently as I could opened the
throttle. My next move was to look
for a weapon. There were Iron coal
rakes In the tender, and I grasped one
of them. It was Impossible that the
robbers should be unaware of the move
ment of the express ear for any con
siderable time. I stood with ono hand
on the throttle, tho other grasping the
coal rake, my eyes watching my rear.
Presently the engineer came running
forwanl. I cowered In the cab, where
be couldn't see me. lie had his revolver
in his hand as he came up, but, quick
as a flash, I raised the coal rake and
brought it dow n on his skull. He wni
good pluck nnd climbed Into the cnb
trj'hig to shoot me, but It wn linrd for
him to climb and shoot nt the same
time. He got Into the cnb, but slipped
nt his Inst step and fell. I gave him
another blow Hint finished him.
"I grnbbud bis revolver, nnd in tlie
nick, ot t!ta i for. the roblier Jmd.bnt
ken Into the express ciir,anroiiriif
them, passltij? through It, climbitd over
the n-.ir of the tenfler. I shot htm with
the engineer's revolver. The third ninn
was overpowered by the express nnd
baggage agents.
"I bad saved a hundred thousand
dollars. The company offered me f.
large reward, but I asked in prefer
euco that they would educnto ino for n
railroad man. They did so, advancing
me rapidly till I nm nt this writing, ai
you know, the roiol's preMdetit."
