In crowded little basement in upper
Broadway, that was lighted by glim-
mering gas-jets, jolly colored man in
the prime of life, with Jolly smile on
his face and a tall hat on his head, was
swiftly sorting newspapers on counter.
Under his feet, over his head, and on
either side of him as he stood working
were other newspapers all sorted out
and tied up in bundles, with paper tags
dangling from the strings. Newspaper
clippings in glass frames, musty old
books and curious old maps filled up
all the little remaining space that was
not damned with newspapers.

a IA BERTHA CLAY.

A Romance without Love, ConcOcted for
the Sole Purpose of Making the World
Better.
1t was cottage overlooking the sea.
From it's door, over which the roses
climbed, one could look out on the
white-winged ships sailing to and fro,
and down upon beach on which the
waves were ever gently breaking.
THE only drawback was the fact that
old Smith had mortgage on the said
cottage, and that the sewerage about
the place was defective.
1t was early in the morning. The
bright sun was Just rising from his bed
in the blue, blue sea; the lark rose from
the meadow and scared toward heav-
en-; the low of kline was heard on every
hand, and the silent watches of night
were about to give place to the hustle of
aglorious day. One who stood and drank
in the picture would have felt entranced,
1t doesn't cost cent to get that
way, and it is twenty per cent. cheaper
than working up an enthusiasm by the
use of lager beer.
Suddenly the door was opened and a
merry laugh was heard. The fair Ethel
had left her couch to greet the rising
sun. AS she stood amidst the roses, her
brown eyes sparkling with enthusiasm
her cheeks glowing with healthier
golden hair lighted up by the beams of
the morning sun, she was the picture OF
queen.
| had forgotten to say that she had a
sylph-like form. This is an oversight
for which | can never forgive myself,
and | hope the reader will not bear
down in malice.
Even the lark paused in his flight to
look back at the beautiful picture, and
the blue birds which fitted from rose to
rose sang sweeter songs, as if to honor
her. For moment the fair Ethel
stood thus, and then she descended the
steps and glided toward the gate.
She wasn't on roller skates, but
glided is an expression which hunted
for half day, and which l am deter
mined to use if il breaks leg.
At the gate she paused. Once more
she surveyed the placid seattle ro-
mantle beach-the rosy eastern horizon.
She was alone with Nature for the mo-
ment. Her bosom heaved, her eyes
grew brighter, and it was evident
that the Inspiration was on her. She
was about to speak. just at the in
stant when her ruby lips were about te

part there was bang on the cottage
door and a gruif voice called out:
What in blazes are you doing ont
there when your mother is sick and
want breakfast in a hurry
The long eye-,ashes OF the beautiful
Ethel hid the sparkle OF her eyes; her
classic chin dropped; look of sorrow
crossed her face; for moment she
stood the picture of despair, and the
Stonicst heart must have been melted
by her attitude. Then she sweetly an

TRICKS ON THE TRACkSI
Dangers from Which Engineers Save the
Public and Themselves.
1.-THE Railway Review


One who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he is dependent for safety upon the en-
Gineer. Added to the responsibility of
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger OF accidents caused by the
tricks of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing ofutterly mean tricks.
A Nickle Plate engineer after his very first
trip was laid Off because he had "cut out"
all the bearings of his engine. He was re-
some rival had filled his Oiling can Nth
emery. Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the fues of his
boiler. Through grief at the loss of his
position he died, and then a conscience
stricken rival confessed that he had put
oil in the tank so that it foamed and showed
water at the top gauge, when in reality
there was scarcely quart i'll the boiler!
These intense jealousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident to their
work, have a terribly straining effect on
the nerve, and statistics tell US that,
