was two thousand dollars ahead, but

indeed they may. Now, there was the
case of Mrs. and MIR. Ratchet At least
then they weren't Mr.. and Mrs. Ratchet,
but Mrs. Pouncer and Mr.. Ratchet; and
she was-a widow; and when she came to
me in a carriage-hired, but still with
man in livery driving it--and said to me:
"Oh, Mrs. Kimberly, ma'am, it's not the
expense Pm thinking of, for terms don't
affect me much-poor dear Mr.. Pouncer
was so very thoughtful of me in his will;
but should you be able to promise me the
comforts of a home?"
And her dress was the richest of silk,
and all covered with English Grape, and her
| veil with hem yard deep; and, really,
l was SO touched that i promised her my
| best front room with the alcove, whether
| any one else wanted it or not. And she
| lived in retirement, and had her meals in
| her own room for two weeks, for a reason
that she contided to me. She was going to
| the dentists, and they were full set and
| of the beautifulest whiteness, like snow;
but at first you know, you can't talk in
| 'em, much Jesse at, and that makes 1t In
| convenient.
At the self-same moment, so to speak,
| Mr.. Ratchet he came to the house; and 1t
was the most remarkable coincidence, he
confided in me, too He was going to the
| dentist, likewise, and his was a full set;
and he said he'd like to be spoke Of, and

But Mr.. Ratchet he never knew, and Mrs.

| all come to it some time; and some of us
had, Pve no doubt. And it didn't matter
much, after all. And what do you believe
those two did--widOw and wdOwer-but

he used to read something that he called

took train over the State road. Tho
engine was about the 10 of an ordi-
nary farm engine, and the caps were
almost as small as those used on mar
row-gauge roads. There were no
brakes in those days. When the ira n
drew near station speed was grad
ually reduced, and when the station
was reached train hands armed with
blocks of wood would jump off and
