WHY SHE MISSED THE FERRY BOAT

She was to meet her adored one on the nine
minutes of the hour. Her hand was on the
door to go out when it struck her that she
had forgotten to line her left eyebrow. Rush
ing to the glass to rectify this, she discovered
a small red spot, commemorative of a depart
ed pimple. A daub Of lily white settled that
start, when backward glance assured her
that her new hat was not as becoming as 1t
should be. So she stopped just long enough
to give it apunch over one car and " hyke
in the back. Then her 'Recamier locks I"
wanted little arranging, and an inch of
blond must be pinned across her nose. Then
she parted her lips to see il her filled tooth
showed very plainly, and that started a most
seductive dimple in one cheek which suggest
ed scrap of black court plaster on its very
verge to call attention to its dangers. like a
siguboard on thinly frozen pond. Then she
to hold it, and walked across the room with
head over her shoulder to get back view,
gave her drapery a twitch here and a pat
there, tried to see bow long a step she could
take without bursting the tapes, gave herself
a little shake like sparrow after shower,
changed her button gloves for six, sprink-
led Lubins latest on her handkerchief stamp
ed her little French heels once or twice to set
tie herself, and, Selling her parasol in the
most approved style TO show the lace to adj
vantage, started for the ferry, where smiling
official, either in fit Of admiration or sar-
casm, offered her his glass with which to
watch the fast receding boat, already half
across the bay. San Francisco Necs Letter.

THE" AMoos1N' LITTLE FELLOW.

" hope nothing will happen to that boy, I"
the cross passenger remarked anxiously. as
we were speeding northward from London.
The boy in question was about seven years
old. He was entertaining the passengers by
running up and down the aisle, shouting like
a Camanche Indian. He would run to the
rear door, kick the panels and shout, Ho :"
Then he would run to the forward door, kick
and yell Hay !" When this performance
began to grow maddening with the monotony
the boy would lend it a little variety by paus-
ing to look into some passengers face, while
at the same time he would strike at him and
shrek, /" I'll kill you y 1t was very inter-
esting, and we loved the infant. Now and
then his mother would say, Sammy, Sam
my, dear. you mustn't strike the gentleman !;
perhaps the gentleman doesn't like IT." And
then the gentleman would lie like Trejan,
liked little boys" And so we were all wor-
ried and nervous for fear the child might get
hurt. We fairly grew with anxiety. He
stopped at my seat, snalched the lap tablet
out of my hands aud roared, "Gimme that
pencil y aud when his mother said, {" Why,
Sammy, am afraid you disturb the gentle
man," Sammy yelled, I'll kill him /" l
was so anxious about him that watched him
all the way down the aisle to see If he would
not fall and break his neck. SO we all sat and
watched him with concern written all over
our faces. The boy snatehed an apple away
from the fat passenger,a kicked the cross pass
enger's valse, made faces at the sad passen-
ger, and hit one man on the woodbox twice
with a stick. Once aud only once, he made
an offer to slap the woman who talks bass,
but she glared down at him with a croak that
made his hair stand OH end, and he avoided
her during tile rest CT the trip. AT last, just
as he was about rushing up to the forward
door to kick it, the impetuous brakeman
banged it open to announce station. He
cracked that boy on the head with the brazen
knob, and the boy acted very much as he
would have acted had be been shot with a
catapult and it took all the ice water in the
cooler to cool off his head, and the boy was
ef1ectualy quieted down.
And it was really pleasant to see the wear
led look of anxious concern pass off the pass
epgers' faces after the brakeman dropped the
boy The cross passengers grim face relaxed
like a May morning, the fat passenger wink
ed at the man on the woodbox, who was still
rubbing his knuckls with an air of tender in
terest, the sad passenger hnmmed a merry
little air, and the woman who talks bass gave
cheerful croak that interpreted to mean
laughter. -Four passengers, whose names
could not learn, gave the astonished brake
man fifty cents apiece. The boy with his
head swathed up in wet handkerehefs remain
ed comparatively quiet.

A HORSES IN7'ELLlG ENCE.

The loose snow drifts deeply between
Truckee aud Sierraville. The ma il is carried
tri-weekly, hence the road has to be Travelled
one way each day. During the heavy Winter
weather the sleigh which, carries the mail is
drawn by three horses driven tandem. BY
this means single broad path is beaten in
the middle Of the road. Wheuthe storms are
raging it is neee sary to carry the mail on
horseback. lis average weight is from one
hundred and fifty pounds each trip. The mail
bags are strapped on two horses, which are
led by the driver, Sol Rosseu, who rides a
third horse. A fourth horse with only ANAL

horse is kept for this sole purpose, and is call
ed the snow breaker.v For six Winters
this animal has travelled the Sierra Valley
road Turned loose at either TruclSee or
