The Right Of Way.

There was Detroiter among the trio
OF officials who passed over the route of
the Butler Railroad to secure the right
of way. In some cases farmers cheer
fully signed off; in others money had to
be used, but in one case the committee
found a most determined opposition.
The road would divide widows farm
and she was independent, obstinate and
defiant. She knew that her haystacks
and barns would be destroyed by sparks,
her live stock run over by trains and
her slumbers disturbed by the rattle of
trains and she wouldn't listen to arpu-
ment. In this emergency one of the
committee said:
Madam, do you know of any widow
in this neighborhood who would be
willing to board a gentleman connected
with the construction of our roadp He
is a widower and prefers to board with
a widow"
.No, 1 don't know as do. Is he a
nice man?''
"Splendid man, and has money in
the bank. We want him to permanent
ly locate at this point and are in hopes
he will take wife. 1t is unfortunate
that" srfses
81 never did take boarders," she
mused, .but-''
eff you only could, now, I'm sure
you would not regret it. He is ex-
tremely fond of children and would be
like father to your little ones.''
Perhaps might. to accommodate
you"
: "Ah! thanks. He would be here
next week if this right of way mat
ter was decided, but as it is he may
mott
ado you agree to pay damages if you
burn my barn?'
sstOf course we do" 8 - j.
"And I'll probably get used to the
noise?''
80, of course. In week you won't
mind it. Fact is, you'll sit up every
night till midnight, anyhow, after the
gentleman arrives"
80, no shan't, I shall never love
again; but if he is nice man and loves
children, why, l don't know as I ought
to stop your road. I guess I'll sign!"-
