his forehead with cold water. His lips
slowly moved at last, and he said, half
unconsciously, "Andra, darling, is it
youP''
"Hush!" said the young girl. "You
are very i'll. The surgeon has set your
fractured limb; you are to be perfectly
quiet; Rest assured you are among
friends. My brother will be here d.
rectly."
He lay back perfectly quiet, and his
eyes followed the beautiful girl, now
doubly beautiful to him in the capacity
of nurse. He was surrounded by every
appliance of luxury, and as the long
days of pain went by, in which his
love grew stronger, he almost thanked
Providence for the accident which had
made him an invalid.
All the events of his voyage, of bis
whole life, of his home in Cumber-
land, he told the listening brother and
sister dnring his hours of GONZALES
cence. And they in return told him
of their Spanish mother, who had died
at their birth, and who, when their
father had bent his head to catch the
last loving words, had murmured,
''Name my baby after me-" But in
stead of one there were two, and Mr..
Benair regarding his wife's wish his
sacred law, had called the little girl
Andra after her mother, and the little
boy, with a slight change, was called
Audrey. And now he, too, was gone,
and the brother and sister were all in
all to each other.
They had large property, partly in
Cuba, where they had been before I'M
dertaking the voyage which was so
nearly fatal to them all.
'But the basket was your sisters,
was it not?" asked Ward.
''Yes," returned Audrey. "We had
been strolling on the beach where you
found it, and we left it by mistake. 1t
contained our mothers picture, which
we highly regard. Andra has one taste
in common with YOURSELF he went on
after pause, sand that is her passion
for Shells"
Ward glanced at the beautiful girl,
whose dark eyes fell as soft blush crept
over her cheek, and the hope in his
heart grew stronger. And when next
they were alone there were few words
which sealed forever the fate of two
loving hearts.
And so it happened when Aunt Mar.
garet welcomed home her wandering
boy that he had two companions: one,
Audrey Benair, s'friend and brother; -
the other, Andra Arlington, the wife Of
his love, the star of his life.

door of the room. Ward opened it quiz

"Yes. Was there portrait with the

"There was, with the name of 'Andra

"Just so. That is my dead mothers

Mr.. Benair remarked, as he took the ar

After offering remuneratiol for the
trouble taken Mr.. Benair politely
bowed himself from the room.

for home.
The sun set in a golden glory in the
as calm as an infants breast. The band
began playing the invitation to tho

the old slow legate step. Surely he
had seen that tall, slim man before
who bent his head so gently toward
his partner. 1t surely was the hero of
Wards episode, Mr.. Audrey Benair.
And this same Audrey Benair, revolv-
ing with slow, languid grace, held up
on his arm the graceful figure of wo-
man whose southern beauty outshone
any type of beauty that Ward had ever
seen.
Just at this moment the dark, vel
vety eyes glanced up into his face with
that nameless, indefnable fascination
which it is the lot of some women to
exercise. Ward stood there entranced,
all his old carelessness gone, and all
unconscious that the woman whose

A Snake in a Sleeping Car.

Chicago Herald ,
Foad," said the sleeping car conductor,
twas one night when snake got loose
in my car. We were coming east from
St. Louis, and out at bingham, ILL.,,
we took on a family of PIttsburgers
bound for home. There was boy of
10 in the party, who carried little
wicker cage in his hand, partly wrapped
up. I thought, of course, he had a
bird in it and allowed him to take it
with him into the car. That night at
DAYTON, which we reached at $3.50
O'Clock, a pretty young lady was put
aboard and took berth at the end of
the car, near the ladies' dressing room.
About 10 o'clock I was at the other end
of the car, looking at the porter black
ing the boots, when suddenly there
came from the dressing room some of
the shrillest screaming you ever heard
so keen that we heard it over the
noise of the train. I rushed frantically
through the car, followed by the porter,
and found the little lady who got on at
Dayton perched on tip-toes on the
washstand, frightened out of her wits,
and pointing at something on the floor.
She was so excited that couldn't make
out what she was saying, but looked
down, and there was nasty little
green snake coiled up in the middle of
the floor and moving his head about
from side to side, evidently ready for a
fight. 1 wasn't exactly afraid of the
thing, but 1t did give me a creepy sort
of feeling to see it in my car, and I was
just about to kill it when heard some
body behind me yelling: "It's my
snake! Don't kill it! Don't kill it,"
and the boy who had brought the cage
into the car rushed in and took the
snake up in his hands. But when the
boy had put the snake back in his cage
1 settled matters by dropping the cage,
snake and all, out of the window. l
:elt like dropping the boy out, too.
The boy had put the cage under the
berth on the floor, and when the porter
was fishing out the boots he must have
upset it and let the snake out.''
