ONLY ONE KILLED.
On

Better

I Than Another."
Old Nurso Edwards sat on tho tiny
orch of tho .irdener's lodge, tranquil
ly knitting, with her spectacles, as usu
al, )ti-hud high under her cap. She
liad been told that it was a rest to ro
lnove them from her eyes oecasiona'ly,
though whether tho relief were to the
eyvs or to the glasses she could not cx
:etly rememler: in either case, howev
er, .she felt it hor manifest duty to spare
them all she could.
It was a glorious summer afternoon,
smd from her wiekcr chair she looked
out over a wide expanse of velvet lawn,
luxuriously shaded hero and there with
clumps of venerable trees, in whoso
branches the birds were holding high
carnival. Hut Nurse Edwards did not
bear the birds, for tliero was a cricket
just under the loilge of the veranda,
-who had ipiite as much to say as thev.
stud who had no one but her to say it
to; nor did she need to look over the
lawn for her sunlight. when a beam had
come purjocly to seek her out, and
was lying across her lap, like a long
needle, tremulously waiting to bo taken
tip and fitted to somo wonderful golden
Avork. It is only discontented people
who must search afar for their pleas
ures. Nurse Edwards found all that
ehe required closo to her feel.
Presently sho put down her knitting,
and sat stiffly upright, with a look of
recognition on her placid face, that took
tho place of a smile, and seemed to ex
press almost more of pleasure. She
Lad caught the sound of coming foot
stepslight, dancing, happy steps, that
could only belong to a child, or to one
-who had not yet unlearned childish
gladness; and, truly enough, the slender
figure of a girl, still in her teens, soon
appeared around the corner, and in a
moment more had bounded breathless
ly to her side.
Eh, Miss Anna, dear' aaid the old
-woman, fondly, taking the young girl's
hand and patting it affectionately,
'what brings ye here in such haste the
day?1
"Oh! I couldn't come slowly," Annie
replied, with that little, inconsequent
laugh, that indicates happiness rather
than mirth. "I don't think I could
walk to-day, if it were to save my life.
My feet wouldn't let me if I asked it of
iicm. Nursie " she suddenly stopped
and kissed the faded check "Fred is
coming to-day, and Pre run down to
meet him. He'll be at the gate in half
an hour. The train is due at five
o'clock."
The old woman took the prett face
lietween her hands caressingly.
I can't think how ye've so soon
crown up to have a sweetheart, my
Bonnie dearie, ye that Pvc nursed on
my knees and crooned to sleep this
many a time gone, till I looked for ye
never to outreach the cradle. Needs
was some on ye should be grown women
in the end; and 1 didn't say nothing
against it when 'twas only MUs Meg
and Miss Caroline; but I did hope to
Jteep the last born for rav ain. Eh! eh!
Tis the natural way of children. Here's
any Jem turned a man of a sudden, with
a home to keep me in; him as Fd held
a lad till it was no that easy to put faith
in his beard even with my two eyes upon
it He'll be getting hisa a sweetheart
aext, I tell him; but he says nay, he
wants no sweetheart but his mother.
3fj'Jes's a good lad. God bless kirn!
And so ye are looking for Mr. Fred, are
je. Miss Annie? And it's for him that
Te're so fray in all yor brave ribbons
H com it's ior to," retnnM
Annie, joyotasly. "And am I quite fine
aough, say, Nursie, dear? Will he say
he never saw me look as nice before?
"Ay, to be sure; that will he!" re
plied the old woman, ferventlv.
"Though it'll no be the ribbons he'll
mark. He'll say as my Jem says when
I put on my smart gown of a Sunday:
'it's the face I mind, mother, and
naught besides,' he says. Ye look as
weltin the oldest gown ye wears, moth
er,' he says."
"I am afraid Jem is an arrant flat
terer," laughed Annie. "You've pos
itively grown conceited since you came
to live with him. You had much better
have stayed on with us at the house."
"Nay, there's nothing as could keep
me from my Jem, now. Miss Annie,
dear," answered the old woman,
soberly. "He's the only one left me
of all 1 had, and xuy heart is set on him.
It's little 1 can do for him now I'm old.
and mv sight is ailing, and I'm no that
quick 1 was on my feet; but it's all in
the wav of Nature, he saj's. Them as
sows In the .spring shall reap in the
fall, and I'm to reap now, whilst he's
to work at the sowing. A deal of trouble
j Tve had in my day, but no finger's
toucn win no w.i anear niu in my oiu
age he says. Eh, but he's a Ood lad
May Heaven grant ye a son like him.
Miss Annie, when ye've stepped down
out of the spring-time yerself."
"Yes, Jem's very good," assented
Annie, carelessly, "rather says there
is not a place anywhere around ho well
kept as lie keeps ours. Oh! hark! Isn't
that the train?"
She sprang to her feet, throwing
back her head and listening eagerly,
with bated breath, raising ati'imperious
little hand to silence all other hounds.
It seemed as if, -at this spoiled darling's
bidding, tho very birds stopped .-inging.
and the leaves forbore their rust ling, all
was suddenly so still. Nurse Edwards
listened, too. but less intently, aud the
chirping of the cricKet beneath the
piazza ledge was the only sound she
caught.
"Hey, what a noise he makes?" sho
said, admiringly, as Annie turned back
with a gesture of disappointment. "If
it's them as is happiest sings loudest,
yon fellow has the best of us all."
"OJi! will it never be live o'clock?"
cried Annie, mindful only of her im
patience. "Tin's day has been a hun
dred days long already."
"Now don't ye i in haste with
Time, my dear," said the old woman,
reprovingly. "Yu'll not burn it.
though ye fret it never so. We" must
just bide the time, my Jem says, and
all thingn'Il come in turn iir.-t life,
then growth, then death. Things is
best taken natural as thej come. The
rose that c foree'll only be sooner done
blowing.
"Hut I can't wait," the "irl com-
plained, childishly. "I always want
things immediately, and I want five
o'clock this minute. What time can it
be, Nursie? Oh! do say its live
o'clock!"
"It'll bo nigh upon it, sure, by tho
slant of the shadows," tho old woman
answered, peering out across the lawn.
"Ye can look at tho sun-dial vender, if
ye will."
"Nonsense!" rejoined Annie, con
temptuously. "As if a stupid bit of
wood and a rusty shadow kept any
count of tho time the train goes by.
I'll look at the clock inside."
"Then ye may spare yerself the
trouble, my dearie; for the hands
stopped at live minutes to seven this
morning, exactly as my Jem started out
for the city: and live minutes to seven
it'll bo till ray Jem gets home, which
may Ikj tho n&ht or the morrow. And
I've been n-thicking all tho day as I sat
here how it's with me and with every
thing about me just as it is with the
old clock inside- It's him that keeps
us gong; and we're all run down aud
stopped together when he's gone, biding
the timo till ho comes back to right us.
"Then I wish ho could come back
now and make it live o'clock." siirhed
Annie. "Surely it mut be live o'clock,
and the train has come in without my
hearing the whistle. I'll run down to
the gate and wait there. Fred can't be
long now. (lood-bve, Nursie. In live
minutes more 1 shall be tho very hap
piest girl in all the world!"
And before she had finished speaking
sho was off. disdaining the road and
making herself a pathless way across
the lawn; laughing, dancing, bounding
along with many a light spring and
airy leap and merry twist.liko a mount
ain brook too impetuous to run smooth
ly. The old nurse smiled indulgently,
and. settling herself back in her chafr,
went contentedly on with her knitting.
wiule the cricket again became the up-
ermost sound in ber world, like a
lomely accompaniment to the single
music of her thoughts
Many more minutes than five went by
uncounted, when, suddenly, from the
direction of the gateway, Annie again
camo running, but not as she had run
licfore. Very direct and straight sin
camo. Her arms were outstretched as
one who runs blindly; her face, that had
been so rosy, was white as death and
strangely set. and she flung herself
into the old woman's arms with a
great, sharp cry.
"O, Nurse! O. Nursa! The train is
not in. There has been an accident A
man going by told me. And there has
been ono killed. Jst a light accident!
But there was om killed. Only one
killed, the man said. U Nurse! it is
Fred. I know it is Fred! As certaralv
as that I am alive now, I know that it
is my darling who is dead!"
And the girl burst into a passion of
stormy weeping, and would neither be
comforted, nor listen lo anything that
hor old friend said.
"I tell you I know it is he!" she
cried, with an agony of conviction in
her voice that almost carried certainty
with it "It was like a knife through
my heart the moment the man spoke.
At the word accident i felt that Tred
was dead, even before he said anything
more. I tell you I knew that it is he.
as surely as if 1 saw him Wing here be
fore mv'eves!"
" Nay, nay. my pet my darling, mv
heart's dearie!" cried the old nurse.
clasping the girl to her breast and rock
mg back and forth with her as if she
were a babe, so quickly does grief make
children of us alL "How can ye know?
Why borrow so sore a trouble as this?
Wait till the good Lord brings it to ve
Himself, and eases the weight of it or
lending His own blessed hand to the
burden. What should start ye before
hand to fear it?"
Oh! don't you ace?" Annie moaned.
"Don't you see? It is because I am so
happy that I dread it I aa too hap
py. 1 have never had a sorrow in all
my life. Not one. I have everything
I want I haven't a wish left to 'wish.
My life is as bright as tbe yer is long.
And tbe happiness has gr-t to stop
sometime. Aren't we always being
told we must expect sorro'v? That
every one has to suffer? It isn't natural
to be so happy as I am. Sorrow has

to misjudge Kim so."
Oh! if lie bat taken Fred from me

so cruel, so pitiless 'as that i will never

never, while I b've!"
"Annie, Annie! God help

The old woman bowed her bead rev
erently as she spoke, and Annie looked
up at" her. half awed, though with
cheeks still wet with rebellious tears.
And just there, some one stooped over
them and lifted the young girl to her
feet, softly saying her name. Ah ! what
voice of all living could so say it save
one? It was as it her lover had been
given back to her from the very regions
of the dead, and. after an almost fright -

her clinging arms, and. holding her
hands iu one of his, went nearer tho old
nurse, and stood looking down ut tier
without speaking.
"Oh, Mr. Fred!" tho old woman
cried, catching his hand, while a look
of such unsellish delight irradiated her
wrinkled face as absolutely transfigured
it "The Lord be thanked that it is not
ye who have been taken!"
"No, not I," Fred said slowly, while
she. in the reliof that seemed to set all
her senses free again, heard the cricket
chirp, and saw how the golden needle
of light had slipped away from her lap,
and felt it where it lay bright and warm
across her foot "Not I, ho said, "but
another." And there he paused again.
finding speech difficult, and laid his
hand on her shoulder as if to steady
her; and then, in despair at his own
cowardice in breaking the news to her,
he turned abruptly to Annie. "Help
her if you can, Annie," he said. "Tell
her. Jem was ou the train, too. It is
her Jem who was killed."

looking unsccingly up at him who had
brought the news. It seemed as if the
silence could be felt Annie had Hung
herself on her knees by the old wom
an's side again, and was covering the
poor old baud with vain kisses and
vainer tears. Her heart was full of an
intolerable pity, that took almost the
shape of self-reproach. What words of
comfort could sue dare to speak to one
who was old. and weak, and poor, aud
helpless, and who had lost not one gift
out of many, but tho one only blessuig
she had?
For a few moments the stricken
woman sat there speechless, aging visi
bly before their eyes in the first awful
shock of tho bereavement She was as
if she had gone deaf and dumb and
blind in an instant or rather, as if
with faculties all overstrained and
tense, sho had been suddenly plunged
into a sphere with which theirs bad no
communication. But after a time she
roused herself with an effort drawing
a long breath, aad moistening her dry
lips.
"Don't fret for me. children." she
said, brokenly, with a wan smile, mov
ing hor hand, tremblingly, to Annie's
hair. "Some one had to be taken, ye
see. and some one has to suffer, and it's
better I than another; for I've not so
long as some to wait. It's near the
closing of the day with me; the night
will be upon me soon; and I don't need

She got up unsteadily, still smiling
that faint wan smile, and stood a mo
ment looking uncertainly about her, as
if tiying to find herself in this strange
world she was lost in. and, suddenly,
the chirp of the cricket smote her ear.
like a familiar sound from the friendly
old world of the pa-t linking the then
and the now together. The conscious
ness came slowly back into her eyes as
her look wauc?red out over the lawn
and the trees beyond, and then seemed
to pass on to some point further still.

"Ay. ay!" she mdmured. softlr. "I've

And with that she turned and went
into her little, desolate home, and closed
the door; and the two left outside
looked at each other silenty, and then
went mutely away together, saddened
through all the happiness of their re
union. By what inscnstable justice had

There is a saloou out on Grand Rivf-r

accepted as gospul, or he would mash

hard hitter, and most of his victims
came to their senses to softly inquire if
tho cyclone had left anybody else alive.
A pair of events happened to aston
ish the Hoss and his cohorts. He was
laying down the law on evolution, and
just aching for some one to dispute him.
when a stranger with veneraule gray
locks and venerable white whi-ker
came iu for a glass of beer. He Ib
tened to the Moss for a moment, aud
then, to tho horror of the select circle
present, he boldly challenged the cor
rectness of eich and all the assertions.
"Stranger." said the Ho--, as he i-om;

"Hut I'll head you for out-doors and
give yon a short ride on the toe of roy

With that he grabbed at the venera
ble whiskers with his right hand, and
clutched the venerable gray locks with
the other. Both pulled awav, and as
he stood holding them in his hands a
thunderbolt dodged in os his nose. As
he went down he had a dim conscious
ness that the house was falling in, and
that the town of Bossville hud been
swept away by a tidal warn. The
stranger worked away at him until
