A Woman's Great Sorrow.

1t was at this season of the year, just
seven years ago, that an extraordinary
scene occurred in Danbury. 1t was in
the evening, and couple were bring
ing in several pots of plants from the
yard to save them from the frost which
the temperature of outdoors threat
ened. While thus engaged she spoke,
referring to a geranium she had in her
hand:
81 wouldn't lose this one for great
deal, as mother gave it to me-"
He looked at it.
"Your mother gave to you. Guess
not. l bought that plant myself"
"Why, it's no such thing"
81 tell you l did," he added, speak
ing with warmth.
"And l tell you you didn't" she
firmly asseverated. "Do you suppose l
don't know what was given to mel"
"Do you suppose l don't know what l
bought with my own money!"
eff you say you bought that gerani-
um," she said, speaking very slowly,
and with white lips, "you say what you
know to be false"
"Do you mean to say lieP" he
Kissed.
"If you say that, l do"
"You shall be sorry for this" he
threatened.
Never" she retorted.
He put on his hat and coat and left
the house.
That was seven years ago this fall.
She never saw him again, nor heard
from him in all that seven years. What
must have been the thoughts, the agony
of mind endured by that wretched wife
in that time no one on earth knows.
She kept her thoughts to herself, and
patiently, as far as outward appearance
went, bore the burden put upon her.
On Friday evening of last week her
door opened, and man walked into
her presence. There was a look, a cry,
and she was in the arms of her husband.
What a happy home was that. All the
agony of the seven long years was for
gotten in that hour of reconciliation
and reunion. A hearty supper was
spread, and with tears and smiles she
hovered about him, ministering to every
want. After supper there was long
talk of the past.
cit is so Singular she said, speak
ing in one of the pauses, "that it should
have happened as it did. | can scarce
ly comprehend it all. 1t seems like an
awful dream. We both lost our tenn
pers, and we have both suffered for it.
The miserable geranium! Do you know
| can not bear to see one OF those
plants? l told mother to come and
take it back, for l would not have it in
sight"
"What!n he calculated, edo you still
persist in saying that she gave it to
you?"
"Why, John, of course she did.
Haven't you got over that idea yet?"
"No, | haven't" ne persisted, his face
darkening. 81 bought that geranium
Just as sure as I'm living man."
She thought of his years of cruel de-
sertion, of all he had caused her to suffer
because of his obstinacy, and her heart
hardened, and her face flushed.
"You are mean to say that when you
know it is false"
cit isn'tfalse. It's Heavens truth. "
"It's no such thing It's a mean,
contemplate lie." ,
He jumped up from the chair, seized
his hat and coat, and shot out of the
house in flash, and she never uttered
word of protest. She sat there with
clenched hands and white face, and
let him 60.
And 50 he is gone. And to-day she is
alone again with the old burden and the
old pain.-Danbury NeaDS.

tramp, who arrived here n few days ago
from the West, gives his experience in dead
heading it over the Union Pacific from Chey-
enne to Green River, ON the Jsrret & Palmer
train, by climbing upon the roof of q coach.
he says that from Cheyenne to Sherman he
rather enjoyed the ride, but that between
Sherman and Green river his experience was
one never to be forgotten. The rapid move
lnent of the train and the rocking of the coach
forced him to wind his arms and legs around
a st0ve-pipe and hang on for dear life. His
hat flew off early in the ordeal, and after the
train left this city he was discovered by the
engineer, who began throwing heavy shower
of ciaders; but SO rapid was the moVemen of
the train that the heaviest ones merely out
through his clothes like bullets, while the
lighter sparks passed above him. His coat
tails tapped 30 hard that he yeslized he mnst
part with them, but he dared not loosen hand
to tuck them under him, and they were soon
torn off to blow away. Although he managed
to keep his face behind tho pipe all the time,
he was frequently struck in the face with fly.

River his face and neck were badly cut and
scratched. 80 great was the poor ramps fear
OF being thrown off and killed that this, added
to the terrible strain of hanging to the pipe
by main strength for 30 long distance, and
the intense suffering from the wounds inflct-
ed by the cinders caused his hair to turn gray,
aud when he climbed down at Green River he
looked like q msu who had seen fifty instead
of twenty-five Summers.
