In Webster's unabridged oallinguttention
to the many delightful views.
After securely fastening our boat wo
ascended the well-remembered path by
the dining-hall. Hero such a sctinu burst
upon our view that wo wore fain to bog
Webster's pardon and exhaust him over
again. The acres and acres of
smoothly shaven lawn which the
imagination soon tented and peopled ,
thu wonderful growth of the trees
planted , the huge forest trees , festooned
with the swoot-scented wild gruno vines ,
just in bloom , the oulo natural swings
wo found and the "snlondid places for
picnics , " made us will for assembly
time to come. Notable among the im
provements was a delightful cottage just
receiving its last coat of paint. The cot
tage is of good fii/o , containing two
rooin.s , plenty of windows and doors , and
situated right among the trees , with two
or three before the trout door. Wo im
agined what a delightful summer homo
it would make , with very little c.\penso ,
Hiinplo curtains , a few rugs , camp-chairs ,
etc. , and thu nick-nacks that are indis
pensable.
Calling up the many delightful days
spent hero tin ring assembly tfmo and tno
now friendship formed made us think
what a social power this institution will
bo in the state.
Ileforo many years those who jncct

THE ENGINEER'S ' STORY.
"This is about it , " said John Scott , tlio
engineer , as the train slowly crested a
long , gradual grade. "You're atop of
the Ilocky mountains now , ma'am. "
"This must look very difl'urcnt in win
ter , " said Miss Vaughn , noting the tree-
leis distances and the snows still glinting
on the higher peaks to tlio lett.
"You may bpliovo it does ! That Hrst
year , when the snow-sheds wasn't built ,
it was terrible. I was running that train
that stuck in the snow seven days per
haps you'll remember about it ; it was in
all the papers. J shan't over forget that ,
not if I live to bo as old as my grand
father , and ho didn't die till ho was ninety
odd. "
"Tell mo about it , " said Miss Vaughn ,
persuasively , seating herself on the high
side-bnnch of the cab , with that air of
attention which is so enticing to the
story-teller ; amusements nro few and far
between in the long monotony of the
overland journey to California ; besides
which , Miss Vaughn dearly loved a story.
"There ain't much to toll. " said Jolin
Scott , with something ot the feeling which
prompts the young vocalist to complain
of hoarseness. "I ain't ' any hand at tell
ing things , either. " Then , won by Miss
Vaughn's appealing eyes , ho continued :
"Wo ran all fair and on titno till we
was about 300 miles beyond Omaha ,
Then the enow begun. It didn't scorn
much at first The women-folk in the
train rather liked it. They all crowded
to the windows to sea , ana tno children
huiruhod. Anything seemoda pleasant
change after the aago-bruah , I suppose ,
lint aa it wont on coming , and the drifts
grow deep and the oars had to run slow ,
tha older ones began to look serious , ami
I can toll you that wo who had the charge
of the tram felt so.
"Wo was just between two of the feed
ing stations and wo put on all the steam
we could , hoping to pinh through to
where provisions could bo got at in ouso
wo Inulto stop. J3ut it wun't no uso. The
snow kept coming. I never sea it coma
so. The llakes looked as big as saucers ,
and the drifts piled .so quick that , when
wo iinully otuoknu about ton minutes no
ono could sue out pf the windows. The
train would liuvjo boyu clear buried if the
brakemen and rth'upporters hadn't gene
the whole length ov4u the roofs every half-
hour anil swept it pfV with brooms and
hhovols. Wo hud a'jpt of shovels aboard ,
by good luck , oi' . o nothing could have
saved us from hying jbaukea up outright.
Hut it was turriuJuiKird work , 1 can tell
you. There wa'nfi/no more laughing
among the pas > cngcf rs by tlio timoltuomo
to that , and tlnV 'children stopped liar-
railing. " , ,
'Oh , the poor/llo ) ( | things ! What did
. . . . anyone
stuck just midway of the feeding sta >
tious , and there wasn't a great de.il of
anything on hoard Ixinidea what the nas-
sengers had in their lunch baskets , Ono

and they mixed that up for the babies
there was ton of 'cm and so they got on
pretty well. Hut there wus about Jlvo
oilier children , not bablc * , but quite
littlu , and 1 don't know what they would
have done if It Imdn't been for the young
lady , "
"Tho young Lidy ! " said Miss Vaughn ,
looking up with some surprise , for with
the words u curious treinulo bad como

ho said , slowly. "I never knew. Site
was the only ono on the train , so wo just
called her the young lady. Shu wus trav
eling ulono , but her folks had asked the
conductor to look after her. She was
going out to some relative of hois her
brother , I guess , who was sick down to
Sacramento. That was how she came to
bo there , "
"Were the children under her care ? "
"No , ma'am ; she was ail alone , us I
told you , but she took them under her
euro trom the very lirst. They had their
fathers and mothers along three of them
hud , at loast. and the other two hail their
mother ana a nurso-girl but somehow
no ono but the young lady scorned to be
able to do anything with tliein. The poor
little things was half-starved , you see ,
and there wasn't anything to amuse 'cm
in the dark car , and one of them , who
was sickly , fretted all day nnd 'most all
night , ana the mother didn't seem to
have no faculty or no backbone to her :
but whenever tno young lady came round
that sick one and all tlio rest would .stop
crying and seem just as chipper us if it
was summer-time outdoors ana tlio whole
tram lull of candy.
"I don't see how she did it , " ho wont
on , meditatively , throwing a hhovclful of
coal in at the furnace door. "Somo
women is made that way , I suppose. As
soon as wo saw how things were going ,
and how bad they wus likely to bo , that
girl kind of set herself to keep along ,
bho had a mighty trontle way with her ,
too. You'd never have guessed that she
was so plucky. Plucky ! By George , I
never saw anything like her pluck. "

prottyr' asked Vaughn ,
urged by a truly feminine curiosity ,
"Well , I don't ' know If you'd ' 'a. call her
so or not. We didn't think much how
she looked after the iirst. She wius a
slender-built girl , and her face looked
sort of kind and bright both to mo. ller
voice was as uoft well , as soft as a voice
can bo , and it Kind of sang whan she felt
happy. She looked you straight in the
eyes when she spoko. I don't belie.yo the
worst man that ever lived could hiivo told
that girl a Ho If it had been to nave his
life. Her hair was brown. She was
ditl'ercnt from girls in general , somehow. "
"I think wo may say that she was
pretty , " observed Miss Vaughn , with a
littlu smile.
"I ain't so sure of that , There's plenty
of ladies come over the road since that i
suppose folks would say was better look
ing than she was. But I never saw tiny
face qiilto like hers. U was still , like u
lake , and you seemed to foci as if there
wus depths to it. And the further you
went down the sweeter it got. She never
made any rustling when she walked.
She wasn't that kind , "
Another pause , which Miss Vaughn
was careful not to break ,
"I don't know what the children would

don energy : ' 'I don't know what any of

loss than an hour that poor lady was
quite comfoitable und her husbuml the
most relieved man that over was. Then
the young lady came along to where I
wus stuniliug there was nothing for mete
to do , but I was waiting , for I didn't
know but there might be ami she said :
'Mr. Scott , I am growing anxious about
the fuel. Jo you think there is plenty to
last ? Suppose wo were to bo kept horou
week ? '
"Now just think of itt Not one of us
dumb fools hud thought of that. You sou
wo wns expecting to bo relieved from
hour to hour , for we had telegraphed
both ways , and the snow had stopped ° y
that time , nnd none of us hud any notion
it was to bo the job it was .to dig us out.
Only the young lady had the sense to re
member that it might take longer than
wo was calculating on.
"Says I : 'If wo are kept here a week
there won't bo a shovelful of coal left for
any of tlio tires , lot alone tlio engine. '
"Then don't you think'tuys ' two , in
her soft voice , 'that it would bo a wise
plan to get till the passengers together in
ono cur , and kcnp a good lira up there ,
and lot tlio other stoves go out ? It's no
matter if wo area little crowded'says
she. I
"Well , of course , it was the only tiling ,
to do , us wo sec at once when it wus put I
into our heuds. Wo took the cur the sick
lady wus in , so's sho'd not have to bo dis
turbed , and wo made up beds for the
children , ami somehow all tlio pus.son-
gers managed to puck in , train hands
and all. U was a tight squce/.o , but that
xlidn't mutter so much , because the
weather wus so awfully cold.
"That wus the way Iconic to see so
much of the young lady. I hadn't ' any
thing to keep rue nbout the engine , so I
kiuil of detailed myself off to wait on
her. She was busy all day long doing
things for the rest. It's queer how pee
ple's characters como out at such times.
We got to know all' about each other.

women , us a rule , bore up better than the
men. It comu.s natural , I mipposo. for a
woman to bo kind of silent and pale und
patient when she's suH'orinu. Hut the
j'oting lady wasn't that sort , either. She
was as bright as u button all along.
You'd have supposed from her face that

"No , ma'am : I never did , "
The engineer's voice Hounded gruff and

Vaughn. The question Hounded ubrup
