were verdsnt having been raised in the
wilds Of Western Virginia, neither Of them
had ever been fifty miles away from home
They had heard Of railways, locomotives,
steamboats, ond hotels, but had never ex.
perienced the comforts Of any Of the alore'
mentioned Institutions Jeems and Lze
had determined on this, the most important
event ia their lives, t0vsit the city and see
the world, particularly that Tortion of II
known as Parkersburg No wonder that
they were amazed and delighted when the
locomotive steaming and snOrting, with the
train Of beautiful crimson cars following il
came in sight
"These your trunks" said the baggage
master
"well sorter calkil ite them's en- said
Jeemes
The trunks "a spotted hair trunk and
very old fashioned valse) were soon in the
baggage car, followed by Lie and Jeemes
"l'll be darned eff railroads aint a hne
thing" said Jeemes, seating himself on his
luggage and carefully holding up the tails Of
his tight bodied blue, adorned with resplen-
dent metal buttons out OF the dust "Lize,
set here by me,
Come out Of that" said the baggage.man
"you are in the wrong car

into which he was ushored. Ills imagina-

ed anything half so gorgeous, lie was
aroused from the contemplation Of the splen'
dor around him. by the shrek of the iron
horse.
"Jee whillikens, what in the thunders

just at this moment they found themselves
in Egyptian darkness, and then was heard
scream almost equal to that Of the engine
from Lie, as she threw her arms around
the neck Of Jecms.

sleepy looking individual "we're all lost
every mothers son Of us. We can just pre-

"Keep quiet Lie hollerin' won't do any
good now. Ef you know any prayer, now's
your time to say it for both Of u.s.
What's the matter here {? said the as
tonished conductor, coming up as the train
emerged once more into the light
"That's just what I'd like to know, said
Jeems when he saw that Lize and himself
were still alive,
We've just passed through Eaton's tunr

Lize drew piece of white paper from her
reticule, and, with smile handed 1t to our
friend, the Captain, who read;

"Why, that's one Of the tickets to our

Il asked the somewhat surprised Jeems

the discordant sound that arose from the
seat of the sleepy hooking individual
A bland smile passed over the face Of the
Captain az he exclaimed his meaning to our
yerdant friend. He had no ticket, but will
ingly paid bis fare, and the train sped on to-
ward its destination. But wonders did not
cease here-presently our pert newsboy,
Billy, entered the car and, stepping up to
Jeemes, he asked

I'm due time the train stopped at the bis
depot, in this city, Amidst confusion OF
strange noise, and babel Of discordant
voicas, our friends landed on the platform
