Walker and his wife, Lize, newly mar
ried couple.
Both were young and both were ver-
dant; having been raised in the wilds Of
Western Virginia, neither of them had
ever been fifty miles away from home
They had heard Of locomotives, steam
boats and hotels, but they never expert
enced the comforts Of any of the a1ore-
mentioned institutions Jecms and Lie
had determined on this, the most import
ant event Of their lives, to visit the city
and see the world, particularly that part
Of it known as Parkersburg No wonder
that they were amazed and delighted
when the locomotive, steamng and puff
fng, with the train Of beautiful crimson
cars following it, came to sight.
These your trunks 2" said the bag
gage master.
Well, 1 sorter calkilato thom's 'em,"
said Joems.
The trunks were soon in the baggage
car, followed by Lie and Jeems.
"Ill be darned ef railroad aimt a fine
thing" said Jeems, seating himself on
his luggage and carefully holding the
tails up Of his tight-bodied blue, adorned
with resplendent metal buttons, out Of
the dust. Lie set up here by me-
Come out Of that" said the baggage
man, you are in the wrong car"
The dickens, | ann Dye suppose [
don't know what | am about? These is
my traps, and [ calkilato to stay where
they are. Keep quiet Lize; they say
we've got to fight our way through any
how, and if that chap with the cap on
wants anything, why PM his man. Don't
want any Of your foolin' around mew
Here the captain interposed and ex-
planned matters, insomuch that Jeems
consented to leave his traps and follow
the captain. What was his delight
when he surveyed the magni6cenco Of the
first class passenger car into which he
was ushercd His imagination had never,
in its widest flights, pictured anything
half so gorgeous. He was aroused from
the contemplation of the splendor around
him by the shrek OF the iron horse
"Jeewhillikins. what in thunder is
that p exclaimed Jecms.
That's the horse squealing when
they punch him in the ribs with a pitch
fork to make him go alongW said a
sleepy-looking individual just behind him.
" Look here, stranger" said Jeems, 81
allow you think Pm u darned fool; maybe
| am, but there's some things | know
and one of them is, you'll get youl
mouth broke ef ye don't keep it shet
Just at this moment they found them
selves in Egyptian darkness, and then wC
heard a scream, almost equal to that Of
the engine, from Lie, as she threw hel
arms around the neck Of Jeems.
| knew it knew it!' exclaimed the
sleepy-looking individual! " we're all lost
every mothers son Of us. We can just
prepare now to make the acquaintance Of
the gentlemen in black, who tends the
big fire below.
Oh, Lord Jeems, what will become
Of us ? [ felt skeery about gettin' on the
outlandish thing at fust."
Keep quiet, Lie hollering won't dc
any good now. Eff you know any prayer
nows your time to say it for both Of us. .
What's the matter here 2" said the
astonished conductor, coming upas the
train emerged once more into the light.
That's just what I'd like to know
said Jeems, when he saw that Lie ano
himself were still alive.
We've just passed through Eaton's
tunnel, " replied our polite captain. " How
far are you going?"
oval, reckon we'll stop at Parksburg.' y
"Show your tickets, if you please"
Certainly; Lie, you got some with
you Let this gent look at 'em."
Lize drew peice Of white paper from
her rcticule, and with smile handed i
to our friend, who read =
The PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY Is
RESPECTFULLY SOLICITED"
What's that? said the captain.
"Why' that's one Of the tickets tC
our weddin," that's what you asked for
haint it ?" said the somewhat surprised
Jeems.
