MRS. FRED W. MICKEL,
3200 U St. Secy-Treas.
"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.
