cum along the road they look out for

At the beginning of this century, hid
den away in old Italian converts and
wayside inns, lay the masterpieces of
the Amati, Stradivarius, Guarnerius and
Bergonzi, almost unknown and little
valued. But Tarisio's eye was getting
cultivated. He was learning to know

The Ingenious Boy.

In a certain part of these United
States, away out West, (the exact To-
cality | do not care to indicate, as l do
not wish to give the ingenious boy
away, as the slang phrase is), there
lived in a small farmhouse a widow
woman and her boy. The woman was
aged forty-five ''come next March" and
the boy was aged ten last April. The
husband of the woman and father of
the boy had died about year before,
leaving his wife very small farm, two
horses, three COWS, one pig, ten chick
ems and the boy to support her.
With little help from the neighbors,
and now and then a hired man, she
managed to scrub along, being helped
a good deal by the boy, who hired him
self out, with the two horses, to haul
timber and other things for the sur
rounding farmers.
The house which they occupied was
situated in a rather lonely spot some
distance from the main road, and was
reached by narrow lane or farm road.
Down this lane it was the boys custom
to drive the cows, and sometimes the
horses, every morning to pasture, and
then drive them home again at night.
Now, through this part of the coun-
try there often used to travel many
tramps and other bad characters, who
had habit of stealing and driving off
any stray horses or cattle they could
lay their felonious hands on. The wild

Too Late.

Application was made to-day to Vice.
President Thomson, of the Pennsylvania
Road, for special train to New York
for curious purpose. 1t was to carry
1000 or 5000 shares of New Jersey Cen
tral Railroad stock to New York. The
books closed at three o'clock this after
noon, and the short interest there was
so large that stock loaned at to / for
use over night. There is quite lot of
the stock in this city, where it loans at
three per cent, and is in good supply.
When the brokers got word from their
New York correspondents, Cassatt,
Townsend & Co. and w. P. Smith, who
had 1000 or 1000 shares in their tin
boxes, rushed to Vice-P President
Thomson and asked the chance
of getting a special. 1t was then half
past eleven. To make deliveries the
stock would have to be in Wall street
and in the hands of the persons to whom
it had to go by quarter-past two
o'clock. There was only one hitch, if
one of the big engines had her steam up
there would be no trouble. The trip
could be made with a single car at the
rate of a mile minute and half-hour
allowed to get round on Wall street.
Telephones were brought into use after
the brokers had willingly agreed to pay
two hundred dollars for the train. All
was in vain, however. None of the
large engines were in readiness, and
the time necessary for the purpose
would cause delay, so the brokers
were euchred out of a neat little profit
of five hundred to thousand dollars
which they might have made by the fly
ing trip.-Philadelphia Special to Chi
