his hands. Bertha is glad to be re-

Indeed, she does. Your dream, or

so far as it related to her was perfectly
true. But if she finds it out she will
never forgive me for telling you. 1

it flashed across Danfortlis mind that
he bad been walking in his sleep, and
had found his way into the great elm
tree opposite Gertrude Maybury's
window. He could understand, now,
how his sudden awakening had caused
him to lose his balance and grasp for
support the first thing that came within
his reach.
But the limb was growing weaker at
every vibration. He reached out his
feet in every direction. but found moth
ing capable Of holding his weight.
Then he tried TO gain the trunk of the
tree by passing hand over hand along
the limb. His first effort, however,
was the hair on the cameI's back. With
a crash that awoke the echoes, his sup
port gave way and the unfortunate
somnambulist fell to the ground. His
last thought after the limo broke was
Of the humiliating position he would
be in if he were discovered. then his
head struck lower branch with such
force as to render him insensible.
When Danforth again awoke to con-
seriousness, he found himself in bed, in
a strange room. Feeling a singing
sensation in his forehead, he tried to
raise his right hand to examine it, but
his arm would not move. 1t was
broken Succeeding better with his
left hand, he found his head tightly
bandaged.
"Where am l and what is the mat

bed, to adjust the covers.

weeks" replied the nurse. land you
are at Mr.. Maybury's. But you must be
quiet. They wouldn't have you excite
yourself now for the world. Take a
good rest, then you will be able to talk
a little"
Thus enjoined he held his peace and
soon fell asleep. From that on his i'm
provement was rapid. Had he been
member of the family the May burys
could not have been more interested
in his recovery. One morning he tried
to explain to Mr.. Maybury his pres
ence in the yard on the night of the ac-
cident, but that gentleman, with a
good natured twinkle in his eye, re-
piled:

Why He Len ST. Louis.

The reasons which actuated General
Sherman in leaving st. Louis have never
been given to the public. He always said
during his life in Washington that he
longed for the time when he could return to
St. Louis and quietly end his days there.
True when he was retired from the army
he did take up his residence in the city Of
his love, but he did not remain there. The
old man had trouble with the girls in that
busting Southern town. There seemed TO
be conspiracy on their part to make him
happy; but it was boomerangic in its effect.
They determined that he should have the
opportunity of kissing every girl in St
Louis under thirty years Of age. The hero
stood up to his task bravely daily, man
fully; but when old married women and
toothless grandmothers joined in the COM
bine, they Outnumbered and surrounded
him. He fought his way through, however,
beat hasty retreat, and will never master
sufficient fortitude to return to the place
where he was so pleasantly ''held by the

Nine years had passed since Joe's mem
cradle visit to the Chicago police court, and
''Burdett's grip was fast passing from
girlhood TO womanhood, but she was stlr
the engineers baby and Joe was still Dad &c
her.
There was a strike in progress on the
Chicago & Overland, though it did not di-
rectly involve the engineers. Among other
classes OF the employees there existed much
bitterness of feeling toward the company
and excitement ran high in Steamville.
Joe Burdette, who honestly believed the
strikers, in this particular instance, to be
in the wrong. showed them scant sympathy
and proposed with the rest of the Brother.

motive. This made the strikers exceeding
lyangry and, as consequence, Anna was
constantly fearful of some harm Detailing
Joe, or the dearly-loved engineer both.
One night when BuIdette had to pur
mail train number four out of Steamviue
Anna, in strange but earnest manner
begged PERMISSION to accompany him.
Why, my dear little girl,' said Joe,
that can hardly be. No-you stay at home
and have breakfast ready on my return
But the girl entreated with remarkable
persistence, though she could give no good
or logical reason for her wish. At last
Burdette yielded, and when Number Four
pulled out Of Steamville there was a girl
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1889-07-18

BUT THE GIRL WAS EQUAL TO THE OCCASION,
wrapped in a big shawl, huddled like a
bundle on Joe's seat in the cab. She hid
herself thus so that JOS enemies might not
report him for carrying passenger on his
engine, and she remained in her hiding
place while Joe, with his hand on the lever
and his eye set straight ahead, guided the
throbbing locomotive through the misty
darkness of aNovember night over the intri-
cate maze of main tracks, side tracks,
switches and sidings of the great Steam
vile yard.
They had got ABOUT one mile from the
depot, and were still crawling very slowly
through the yard filed with idle cars, when
Burdette missed his fireman who had gone
to the tender to throw down some coal
Still keeping his hand on the lever, Joe
peered through the leather curtain and, as
he did so, was rudely dragged from the
locomotive by strong arms, welded by two
of the desperate and revengeful strikers.
In another moment, Anna, who was wide
awake, had grasped the situation. She IN
derstood, perfectly, that the intention of the
rascals who had kidnapped Burdette and his
fireman was to allow mail train No 4 to pro-
coed on its way-unguided and unfettered-
to rush with increasing speed to certain de-
struction. But the girl was equal, and
more than equal, to the occasion. She was
bright as dollar and smart as a whip and,
as Burdette had frequently asserted, she
knew as much about locomotive as many
of the engineers on the Chicago & Over
land. She now saw an opportunity to save
Joe's reputation, as well as to make one for
herself; she also saw the chance-nay, the
imperative need-to save the old locomotive
and many lives, and so to Illustrate the vile
plans of the unprinciped strikers.
How she did it not even the girl herself
could tell after the exciting time was past.
The mail train was scheduled to run over
the division without stop, and run it did.
For three hours the plucky girl stood in the
cab, guiding the train through all its dan
gers, both seen and unseen. She peered
ahead into the darkness, she watched the
and anon shoveled coal into
the furnace like an old-time fireman.
1t was hard work and the hours were of
well nigh interminable length; but the end
came, and mail train No. 4 rolled into Chi
cago on time.
To-day the boys hardly call Joe Burdette
and they are willing to admit that
Joe ought to have a 'soft spot" for the girl
who did so bravely on that eventful night.
Nor is one of the Chicago & Overland en-
ployes jealous of the fact that upon the pay
roll of G. & o. engineers appears, each re-
the name of Anna Fender.

" YOUR HONOR" SAID JOE.

tiny wanderer was a f1axen-haired girl with
huge blue eyes and chubby hands-without
hat or shoes and with but one ragged and
solled garment about the little body; so
dirty and so neglected-yet wondrously
fair and beautiful.
The child was, perhaps, seven years old,
Or less, and she said that her name was
Anna-uhat was all she knew. But Joe
Burdett knew more; he knew, beyond a
peradventure, that she was the child Of his
old love, the child of Dick Pender's dead
wife.
Your honor" said Joe, hat IN hand, ad-
dressing the court.
''What is it!'' asked his honor, who, be-
sides beng judge of fine points OF Grim
inal law, was an expert judge of human ma
ture and rightly passed verdict of honest
aud square upon Joe Burdette.
Il should like to adopt that child, if posi-
ble," replied the engineer; and half an hour
later, Burdette's references proving highly
satisfactory to the court, he walked out of
the police station leading by the hand Anna
Redman's little girl.
The division headquarters of that portion
of the The Chicago & Overland road, over
which Joe Burdette Steered his locomotive
were at Steamville, a small but busy rail-
way town, and thither the engineer took his
young ward.
Everybody said that Joe Burdette was
crazy; but some how nobody ventured to
audibly express his opinions on that matter
to Joe himself "The boys" and the neigh
bors thought good deal and compared notes
among themselves; while the womenfolk
were agreed that Joe was making fool Of
himself over a little stray-away yUung'un

Whether Joe suspected the opinions, ex-
pressed and unexpressed, Of his various
neighbors, certain it was that he took much
comfort in little Anna, and certain it is, too,
that the child dearly loved Joe, or Dad, as
she called him. With Burdett nothing wac
too good for the child, not even his locomo-
motive. On fine days he frequently took
the little girl into his cab, showing her
every detail of the workings of his iron
steed and explaining the lrhy and the lrhere-
fore of each part just as though she had been

that she sods, and to his chief he declared
when Anna was not ten years ODD that

Rats and Mice.
There are almost as many cats about
the White House as may be seen on a
prosperous Pennsylvania dairy farm.
The White House cats are not of es-
pecially fine breed. They are not
proud nor in any way especially
distinguished from other cats, I'M
less it is in their breeding quail

in all colors that cats come. Most of
them have attached themselves to the
household apparently from a patriotic
desire to serve the country. coming
from no one knows where. Many new
ones are said to have appeared at the
mansion while Mrs. Cleveland reigned
there, Notwithstanding the playful hab-
its of the dog Hector. As far as is con-
sistent with our form of government,
they enacted Mother Goose's melody.

ing in the basement. A new family of
kittens had appeared. ut is pretty

you, pray?n l asked. 90, between
thirty and fifty old ones. The young
no one can keep count of. When they
get too numerous there has to be a
wholesale killing. Two killings a year
keep them down."
The building is so infested with rats
and mice that an army of old mOusers
is necessary TO protect the larder and
the conservatory. Most of the cats are
kept around the conservatory to kill
off the rats, which otherwise would dig
under and destroy the roots of the many
valuable plants. With such an army

ton of little cats is marvelously rapid.
