A HALLOWE'EN STORY.
M'A 1 I ! BY HERALD IIHENAN ,
M' IS SlH lS l f l
I.
"And If on the 31st day of October , at
tbo hour when twilight comctli , any per-
6on of pure and honest heart shall take
a coat or other upper garment never be
fore norn by mortal man. awl dip It twice
in running water , saying a heartfelt prayer
( or all those In pain or sorrow , that per-
epn shall see face to face the human being
that ho or she doth most desire to look up n.
( For this twilight of the 31st day of the 10th
month la known as Hallowe'en , when
ivlshos come true and the lost Is found. "
The child In the brown , pinafore read
these words for the twentieth 'time , sitting
coucl.'ud before the window In her mother's
jlttle parlor.
The bine eyes commonly bore a. wistful
expression even when poring over the beloved
oVd book ; but there was a glint of hope In
their dcpjhs on this particular October after
noon. For In both pockets of the brown pin
afore there were small heaps of jlnnllng
coins. Such a lot of coins , the child thought ,
and Indeed they meant vast riches to her ,
( or shu had been saving them and adding
them together over slncu the Hallowe'en of a
year b"foie. And now , ns she to k lln inon y
out , she laughcM a happy , little laugh.
Quickly she turned to the lly leaf of her
"big book , " and read the Inscription In her
toother's handwriting :
"To my dear sou , John Halllday , ! lU >
lowo'en.jJSSiL"
"
"A llttfe "lower lown Mrs. Halllday had
Added In wavering characters that told of
grief and tears ;
"My bravo boy Jack has boon gone but
a week , aiwl now the bank has failed. The
landlord Is heaitless. He says wo must go.
What can we do , and whcro can we Had
Jack ? "
Ton long years before those words had
liccn written ; and In all that time no trace
of the absetut Jack Halllday had come to
lighten the burden on Ills mother's heart.
A year before Jack's little sister Jennie
had unearjht'l the bo k of "F lk Lore an. ' '
Tradition" In her mother's trunk. The curi
ous old superstition about finding the lost ,
toy steeping a cofot sleeve In running water ,
came to her young mind In the light of a
great Inspiration ,
"I will try It ! 0 , yes. I will surely try to
bring Jack back , " she whlspu'cd. And
therixitler she set to work with a vigor and
persistence worthy of the cause.'as there
an errand to be done In the little row of
laboicra' cottages on the hillside suburb ?
Jcnnlo Halllday wiis the one to tie It. WAS
there a baby to bo tended and watched over
far some hard-working wife ? Jennie was a
willing and reliable , "llttlo mother. " She
even earned A nickel now and then by call
ing tired worwtncn who overslept themselves
of a morning. 'At last thn amount necefMry
for the purchase of same sort of new garment
from the cheap ( lothlng store down the hill
bad been slowly and painfully gathered to
gether.
II.
Jennie Halltday arose and laid her "big
book" that work of hope and promise care
fully aside. Then she took off the brown
pinafore , donned a quaint little hooded cloak
which her mother had made and started down
the hill to whore the buotle of the streets
began. Into the cheap clothing store she
tr.'tiped and handed her precious capital ,
israrocd uIn a sctap at paper , to the smiling
M" Morris.
'And now , please , " the said , "I want the
brand now coat you promised me. "
Mr. Morris was talking to a tall and
gorgeously apuireleJ gentleman. He bad
l - itatS. * & * . * 2&i ]
Just sold the gentleman a suit of clothes and
was removing from the.a the tags and othcf
marks which Invariably , so Jennie's experi
ence told hbr , hang from gorgeous garments
newly bought. Indeed uliu had made up her
mind to i eject any coat as spurious not
marked with these signs of newness.
"Here's this funny little girl again , " said
the clothier. "She belongs to a seamstress
who does some work for us a decent wli * /
woman living on the hill. I can't think what
she wants of a man's coat ; Indeed I can't.
Yet she comes here and offers me all her
little savings for a coat. "
"Wants a ccat , eh ? " remarked the gentle
man In the gorgeous suit. "Don't take the
child's money. Give her my old coat. Here ,
alssy , you can have my old clothes and keep
your cash. "
"Thank you , sir , " falto ed Jennie.
"I'm sorry , hut It's a new coat I want.
Only a now coat will bo any ute you ECO ,
It must never have bren worn before when
I go to dip It In running water. "
The affable clothier looked at bis customer
and tapped lib forehead , as who would say
"she's crsry. " Hut tht > tall gentleman
looked puzzled. Some forgotten memory
seemed to awake within him ,
"Illuming water ! Dip a new coat In run
ning water ! " he repeated. "Look here , lit
tle girl , "hat arc you talking about ; and
what do you want the new coat for , any
how ? "
Something In the epeiker't looks Inspired
Jonnle to confidence , and , by degree : , aho
told htm her whole story all about the lost
brother Jack , the "Ms book , " and her hopes
In regard to the dipping of ( he coat. As she
spoke , tbo puzzled cxpresitou on the
stru3g r' f c caused , flnrt to one ol
amusement , and at last , quite suddenly , to
one of eager amazement.
"Look here , " ho blurted out , a little
roughly It seemed , "What Is your name ? "
"Jennie. "
"Your other name , I mean , " demanded
the tall man , gripping the child by the
arm.
arm.Jennie
Jennie was startled by his manner , and
shrank back.
"My other name Is Halllday , " she said.
The tall man sat down In a chair very de
liberately and began to mop his forehead.
After awhile he laughed nervously.
"That's funny ! " ho excla'med. ' "I used to
know a fellow named Jack Halllday. Son
of a widow , too , and had a little il&tor. Pie
lived In Stamford. Conn. "
"Stamford was where mother used to live.
0 , sir , can you tell us where to find Jack ? "
The tall man stood up.
"Yes , " ho answered ; "perhaps I can. Do
as the 'big book' te'ls you. Dip the coat
Bleevo In running water. It's a wonderful
book , that big book of yours. I had a book
like that once mynell' when I was a young
ster. Here , Mr. Morris , give the child
a now coat the newest coat you've got In
your shop. "
It was already twilight when Jennie , with
the new coat on her arm , footed It bravely
up the hill , towards whcro a little rivulet
made Us way bllthesomely enough between
the row * ; of laborers' houses and wooden
shanties , preparatory to rushing down the
"IT IS JACK. "
eteep slope to bo sullied with the dust and
grime of the great city.
She took the coit from Its wrapping , and
was about to dip a elcevo In the rippling
\\ator , when her mother caino running to
ward her ,
"Jennie ! Jennie ! " cried the pa'e-faced
widow , "where have you been ? You have
frightened me so , "
Hut Jennie , full of her purpose , raised a
warning hand and plunged the coit sleeve
Into tbo stream once , twice , three times.
"O , I ont , " she murmured , "have pity on
all people In sorrow and pain , And O , kind
Lord send back our Jack ! "
Some one came up the hill road at a
swinging pace. Jennie had just noticed that
It was her acquaintance of the clothing shop
the tall man In the new suit when she
saw her mother etretch out her arms , and
heard a great cry of gladness.
"Jock ! " cried the widow , pale-faced no
longer. "It Is Jack come home at last ! "
And Jack It was. That wonderful "big
book" had not erred.

Albert Wilson of Belmont street , Somer-
villc , Mass. , Is destined to be a railroad man ,
If early aptitude for the calling counts for
anything.
Though but 12 years old Master Wilson
has hulk a miniature railroad In the back
yard at his home and has It In ahapc to
operate. Ills only tools In jualclng the
lallroad and rolling stock were a knife , an
ax and a hammer.
The material for rails and all the other
equipments of the road are pieces of wood
such as a boy would" naturally pick up. The
cnglno and two cars were made from wood ,
with the exception of the wheels , wlrlch are
ci Iron and which , as the young master me
chanic naively states , "a man gave .him. "
The road Is not long and It Is crude , owing
to the limitations In tools and material , but
It has an Intricate system of switches ,
bridges , signals and crossing gates.
The young builder calls this road the Dos-
tonMaine system , connected with the
Fltchburg. Without adhering closely to
geography , he has constructed it from Massa
chusetts , In the lower end of the yard , to
Now Hampshire at the other end.
The terminal la the union station In Dos-
ton , made from a dry goods 'box. Thpre are
signals at the entrance of the station Hia'
drop down when a train goes In , just as the }
do at the big station Itself. These signal ?
aie operated by strings that run from a
switch tower outside the yard limit.
From the tower ore operated the swltcheu-
for half a dozen tracks , EO that the train cai
ho put into the station on any desired track
l > - ' " pulling of a string connected with thr
switch , i
Li | the line a short distance there Is a
bridge over a crossing built In the approved
railroad stylo.
The stations on the two lines are Wyoming ,
iti'ccs" ; ' ! ] , TewksUiry Junction and Wind-
ham Junction , NT. If.
Master Wilson got thrso names by study
Jnp a railroad map. At each point named
theio Is a station , built out of a email box
and neatly painted. At each station there U
a platform , with steps and guard rail at the
back.
At one of the grade crossings toward thr
Now Hampshire line there uro two gates1
that are made to drop down end rl o together
by means of a string pulled by the gate
tender.
At present Master Wilson Is gate tender ,
as well as engineer of the train. Ho also
tends his own switches and all the othei
work on the line. He thinks If he had some
one to help him tend 'switches the road could
bo run more smoothly.
The work of the boy , though rough and
amateurish , shows that he la possessed of remarkable -
markablo Imitative power. Ho never made
a close etiuly of a railroad's workings ,
through lack of opportunity , end that makes
his woik the more remarkable. His sole
study of engines and railroad equipment has
been made at the cro&slngs on the Kltchburg
road near his home , where he never * tires of
watching trains go by. Ho has a great desire
la bo given an opportunity to inspect the
switching system at the union station , but
thinks that It Is too much of a favor to ex
pect whl'e he Is BO young.
As a draughtsman young Wilson also shows
grrat aptitude. Ho can draw accurate free
hand pictures of engines and cars much bet
ter than some trained sketch artists could.
IIo has been drawing pictures of engines
ever since ho was 0 years old.
MfBter Wilson attends the Mtrso school
In Somcrvlllo , wiiere ho Is rated as a very
bright scholar. Ho Is gifted with a line
musical trstc and can play th ( piano as
wo 1 as sing. He Is a member n. the choir
In one of the Somervlllo churches where ho
slngu alto.
Ho S3)s ho hopes some day to become a
railroad man ,

Thousands of Americans travel fur to visit
the whlto houfo and walk through Its
grounds , yet few of them know one of the
inott Interesting facts connected with the
pjace that Is , that John Qulncy Adams , nber
ho was president , planted most of Its fliu
t ces. President Adams wts full of energy ;
for months he made a practice of swimming
across the Potomac every day ; then ho took
to walking around the capltol square for an
hour every morning ; then he found the best
exercise of all In attending to the planting
of the wh'te house grounds with trees. They
were very bare In this respect and he went
Into the whole science and art of plantation
with an enthusiasm vc y like Sir Walter
Scott's on the same subject. He was then
58 years old , but he wrote about the growth
o ! his caks and chestnuts as eagerly as a
schoolboy would about hunting.

Carlo and Druno , one a St. Bernard , the
other a Newfoundland , are claimed by their
owner , Mr. Peter Gruber of Ilochcster , to be I
the two largest dogs In the state of New-
York. But they are entitled to consideration
in other respects. They arc famous snake
killers. Mr. Gruber Is known throughout
the east , and , In fact. In the south and west
also , though not to the ranio extent , as
"Rattlesnake Pete. " It was he who , seven
or eight years ago , appeared on the floor of
the New York Stock exchange arrayed from
head to foot In clothes made from snake
sklcis. The tie he had around his neck was
a snake skin and even the ornament that
generally fastens a tie In fron was a snake's
oye. When ho goes Into the wilds of Penn
sylvania and other states hunting snakes he
Is Invariably accompanied by Carlo and
Hruno , who , from long oractlco , have be
come dexterous In the game. The dogs are
very fond of each other and the cat bceins to
like their company ,

The Cincinnati Enquirer resurrects the
following yarn , relative to a school teach
er who said : "Now , boys. I have a few
questions In fractions. Suppose I had a piece
of beefsteak and cut It Into two pieces ,
wlat would those two pieces bo called ? "
"Ilalvc-fi ! " shouted the class.
"Correct. And If I cut each half Into two
pieces ? "
"Quarters ! "
"That's right. And If the quarters are
each cut in half ? "
"Eighths ! "
"Quito BO. And If these were chopped In
two ? "
"Sixteenths ! "
"Very good. And when , the sixteenths
were cut , what would thcwe pieces be called ? "
"TL'Irty-setonds ! "
"Just rlBht. And now we will chop those
In half. Wliat have we no.v ? "
"Mince. " said a small hey and the school
was dismissed fir the day.
So > ou see , It U a very bad plan to cut
patronage Into too binall pieces * especially
If the other fellow Is real hungry.
She had heard the reference to the fact
i t the hairs t > f the bead are numbered ,
and for sometime afterward she regarded
her bald-headed father with conslJerable In
terest.
"Mamma , " she said at last , "the Lord
didn't have to UFO any patent adding ma
chine for papa , did Ho ? "
"We had to have little Dick's pretty golden
curls cut off. "
"That was too bad. '
"Yes ; but his mother couldn't stand the
bad language ho used when she combed the
tangles out. "
It Is called St. John's church , Chicago ,
and p sslbly the Inference drawn from that
fart Is natural.
1 he boy had been , there frequently , and us
a result the rector's face had become toler
ably familiar to him. One Sunday , however ,
a visiting clergyman occupied the pulpit ,
and the 'boy ' was naturally trouble ! .
"Mamma , " he said In a very audible whis
per , "what's become of St. John ? "
"George , my son , I want you to cell mo

"I'll do It , dad , If you'll get mo up In

"An Episcopal clergyman of Grand Rapids
Mich. , who belongs to the Order of Klks , "
says a member of that order , "attended a
meeting the oilier evening. The chairman ,
noticing his presence , said : 'I tee our Rev.

will have to be aiseuicd < B. ' Tlio rector put
his band Into hl waistcoat pocket and ,
marching up to the desk , put down his llttlo
V and nude a nice little speech , In which
ho told how glad ho was to be with his
brother Klks , and ended by Inviting them
to rome and hear him preach ( he next Sun
day evening. Some one moved ( hat the ICIlis
accept the Invitation and go In a body to
tlielr hrothrr'G church , which was tinunl-
mous'y ' carried. The next Sunday evening
tbo front pews of the church were filled with
EIK , and when Hev. Mr. ascended the
pulpit , he gam ; 'i am delighted to see no
many of my brother Klks here this evening ,
but as It Is such an unusual occurrence with
the most of them J think they should be as
sessed $1. Let your light to shine , etc. ' The
way the ( .liver dollars rattled on that plnte
was a caution. The contribution was much
lieavlcr than usual and -the Elks voted their
