"Dear me," said a middle aged gen tleman who was walking away from a station where he had just been to see his daughter off for school, "I've forgotten to give Jessie the ticket." He stopped, felt in his vest pocket and pulled out the pasteboard. "By Jove, isn't it lucky I met that young fellow? I hope he's got money enough with him to pay her fare. Anyway, I can do nothing about it now. The train's gone." The meeting with the young fellow was by no means accidental. There was a youthful attachment between him and the girl which was unknown to any one except the lovers. The youngster knew she was going away for her last year of schooling, and he had come to the train for the final parting. The meeting was a pretended surprise. The father said: "Going on this train? If you are I would like to have you keep an eye on my little girl." On the impulse the youngster replied, "Yes, and it will give me great pleasure to take care of her!" He boarded the train with some loose change in his pocket and nothing more. Such is a brief statement of the antecedents of a very interesting young couple who pulled out of the station on an express train that did not make its first stop for an hour. "I didn't know you were going," said the girl, with a happy smile. "I didn't intend to; I'll have to bor row from you to pay my fare." "Good gracious! Papa forgot to give me money or the ticket." "You haven't a ticket?" "No." "Well, here's a pretty how de do.'- Soon after the train started the con ductor came through slowly, taking tickets. The young man arose and, putting his lips close to the conductoi's ear, whispered: "See here.- I've left my money at home and haven't anything to pay fare with. Pass us on and I'll pay up at the end of the journey." . "Runaway couple?" Here was a chance for sympathy. "Yes," was the reply. The conductor passed on and when he had gone through the train came back and asked the young man what he proposed to do. Unfortunately the lover was unable to satisfy him. "I don't see what I can do for you," said the conductor. "I'm afraid I'll have to put you off." The protestations and appeals of the young couple attracted the attention and the sympathy of the passengers. Several of them gathered round the conductor to get information concern ing the matter. They were told, among other things, that the young couple were elopers. That at once won the hearts of the inquirers. All the world loves a lover, and a gentle man after inquiring as to the price of the tickets needed took out a five dol lar bill and asked if any other gentle man would match it for the benefit of the youngsters. It was duplicated at once, and their fare was paid and the problem solved. Then the young man asked for the addresses of those who had put up the money that he might return the loan. "No loan at all," said one of the lenders, "a wedding gift. Wasn't that your intention?" looking at the man who had advanced the other half. "Certainly It was, and here's an other fiver for the parson. My advice to the young peopte is to get spliced at once. They will probably be inter cepted at the end of the route. Got a clergyman aboard, conductor?" The suggestion of a wedding cap tivated the passengers. Several men went through the cars calling for a parson, and one was found. "What's wanted?" he asked, joining those near the young couple. "These two wish to be married," said one. "Tie 'em up quick," said another. "They may be overhauled at the first stop." "Do you wish to be married?" asked the minister. "Y-e-s," faltered the young man. . "N-o," cried the girl, blushing crim son. "No always means yes with a woman," sang out a voice behind the couple. "Stand up," said the parson. "I won't," cried the girl. "This is awful." Her lover whispered something in her ear. She blushed deeper than ever and covered her face with her hands. "Give her time," "She;il be all right in a few minutes," "Don't hurry her," and such brief suggestions were made by the lookers-on. Then the young man whispered again. "We can't get out of this any other way. We can keep it secret till you have finished school." Taking her . hand, he pulled her on to her feet. A lady furnished a plain gol:l ring, and the clergyman began the marriage service, got a sonorous yes from the groom, a whispered one from the bride, and it was all over. Then the passengers insisted on the bride and groom standing at one end of the car to receive congratulations. They were impelled to do so, and a carload of people passed in review. At the end of the term the girl re turned from school and made a con fession. After a family conference it was decided to announce the marriage as having taken place on th day the pair went traveling together. "When the Turkey Said 'Goodby.'" The five turkeys we had taken on subscription were stolen from us some time Wednesday night, and no trace of them has been found. We don't re gret the loss so much because we'll be minus Christmas and New Year's dinners, but since the turkeys came we've written some sassy editorials about the meat trust, holding ourselves high and independent of it, and now we'll have to help out the blamed trust by purchasing a couple of cans of sar dines to fill the void caused by the loss of the turkeys. Atlanta Constitution. A BRUTAL SYSTEM The railroads in our country kilt an average of 8,000 persons a yar and injure eight times as many more, most of whom are workingmen. Can it be possible that there is no remedy for this wholesale slaughter? Is there no compas sion for the women and the chil dren who remain? Must work ingmen themselves pay the price not only for their personal mis haps, but out of their earnings pay also for the mishaps of their fellow workers? Shame on any law or system which penalizes the workers for accidents for which they are responsible to only a limited extent, freeing from practically all care and re sponsibility those whose interest are being served by faithful men who gave their lives so that the world might be a gainer. Rev. Charles Stelzle. Trade Union Notes. The Bank Clerks' union of New York city threatens to strike unless wages are raised. The United States Steel corporation has within a few months laid off 4G, 000 men and is still laying them off.
