a glorious, enthusiastic time. There
was no lack of cigars, crackers, cake

was kept up until IL o'clock at night

back to their Post room. I doub
very much whether there were any

any better than the boys did at the

They we're as the love-birds, he said. made
for each other while in life and as the love-
bird, If robbed of its mate, pines and dies, SO
would it be impossible for one to survive the
other. But Geraldine Ulverstone had been
slain. and Evelyn Hardcastle, in spite of the
alleged affinity, did not die. She was, as a
matter of course, terribly upset. and the
shock to her system caused considerable
anxiety, but her love for Fred Harvey sus-
tanned her. Had she had no lover to lavish
her affections pom Der sympathetic heart
might have broken at the loss of her friend.
For more than a fortnight after the inquest
she was confined to her room, but at length
she was well enough to come downstairs ana
receive a few of her personal friends.

Yes, dear" he replied, " know that. I
dare say l am very foolish; but l do love you
So"
He was thinking of the fate hat might be
awaiting her, Tomorrow was her birthday,
and tomorrow she might be lying dead. He
tried to dismiss the thought from his mind.
i" Why should she be murdered-she who
has not a single enemy in the world 2" argued
Hope. but them" replied Fear, " what
had Geraldine Ulverstone done? Why was
she chosen as q victim If she was muir
dered, why should your darling escape? ?"
It was an anxious time for him. and the
anxiety laid its impress upon his spirits.
Evelyn accepted Fred's explanation. al
thing moro to be explained. but she kept her
doubts to herself and said nothing more.
The entrance Of her father, a somewhat
careworn-looking man Of sixty Evelyn had
no mother, followed by Col. Mansfield,
moreover. cut short all further conversation.
Evelyn sprang up with @ cry of delight as
she saw her godfather.
''Well, my little one; but this 1 must call
you no longer, for you have become a woman
since | last saw you, :" said Mansfield, taking
both her hands in mis- and kissing her on her
forehead.
"You NAV call me what you like, Uncle
Lal with her he was always Uncle Lal,
although they were in no way related.
"But what q long time it is since we last saw
you where have you been all these years2"
THAT, my dear. would take weeks to tell;
but / hope before l leave again to have time
to tell you all that has happened since we

~ hope.to be able to stay till the end OF
the year. In such case, with your permits
sion, / shall see you often; but, TO be frank
with you, l may have to leave at any mo-
m~ent-perhaps even tomorrow"
Tomorrow" said Fred and Evelyn In
one breath, and the expression on the young
mans face was one of the greatest alarm. He
had convinced himself that the only chance
of his darling's safety lay in the protection Of
Col. Mansfield and now he, who might be
able to save her, was going away.

gallantly. Why, Harvey, what makes you
look so glum ?" he said, turning to the young
doctor, who, at the reference to his fiancee's
birthday, had perceptibly shuddered; for
was it not on her twenty first birthday, ex-
actly a month ago. that Geraldine Ulver-
stone had been murdered and what might
not be the fate ON the morrow Of the girl he
loved best ON earth
Harvey made some haphazard answer, and
Mansfield, seeing how the land lay, did not
again refer to the matter.

Congressman Mccarthy Reminded Of tho
Fable OF the Frog and the OK.
10 the Editor If Tie Ersnin0 World;
In your issue Of last evening l notice a
statement that the jefferson Club of the
Fourth Assembly District has been "scooped
by the willy Mccarthy"
As, owing to your extensive circulation,
this statement Is likely to mislead a host of
the friends of the Jefferson Club. 1 beg to
state that the Club has been, is, and always
will be composed mainly Of gentlemen who
are perfectly independent of politics as a
means Of earning q livelihood, and cannot be
:" scooped " by Congressman Mccarthy for
his personal benefit.
II is true the jefferson Club picked up Mr..
Mccarthy and elected him from one Office to
another till at last he has come to the conclu-
sion that he Is greater than the Club.
The Congressman should read that little
story in Hsop's fables about the frog and
the OF, and reflect upon the fate Of the frog.
He may think the Jeffersons are dead, but
when next he appears before the people for
their sufirages he will find ii a very lively
corpse.
Hoping that YOU will give this q place in
your very popular journal, | remain yours
respectfully, A JEFFERsoNIAN.

Here is an incident which speaks for itself.
One very cold day which came not SO long
before this mild weather. as an EVENING
WORLD reporter was travelling in an IL
train. q small boy got on at Thlrty-third
street.
He was about eleven years old, his small
face looked pinched and hungry and he had
on ragged clothes. The half of his right leg
was gone, and he hobbled into the car with
the assistance of O crutch.
He sank into q seat opposite the reporter.
He had a red lead-pencl in his hand. only
one. After he was seated he held it towards
the reporter, who shook his head, then
towards the man on the cross-seat with HIM
self. The gentleman also declined to buy.
He did not urge the matter or speak q word.
A man with n small carpet-bag, sitting be-
hind them, put up his finger and signed to
the guard that he wanted him. When he
came up the man said to him; do you
allow boys to peddle on the trainsp That
boy is peddling lead-pencils."
mo; he mustn't do that" said the guard.
At the next station the poor little cripple
hobbled off with his crutch, and at Forty
second street the noble specimen of humanity
who had frowned on him, relieved the train
of his presence.

"Lo Road Guard.

and dressed we'll. A bunch of shamrocks

Where's your shamrock ?" inquired the

to have something green about yourself"
well, I've got it right here now. and
don't you make any mistake. " said the guard.
He dove down into the inside corner of his
coat and fished out u small pocketbook, from
which he extracted a very small piece of
folded paper.
He unfolded it very tenderly until he
exposed to view a&iny little scrap of some
thing resembling a bunch Of brown thread.
At one end was a scrap of green.
