POLLY'S GHOST.
The Sacrifice She Finally Made
For His Sake.

Pretty Polly Paschall sat bolt upright,
her red-brown curls falling in rich con-
fusion about her throat, her brown eyes
as wide as if she had not been in bed
and asleep for hours. The lamp was
turned low, as she had left it, and shone
with a dim, soft radiance over all the
richly furnished room.
Polly stared about her. The chairs,
the tables, the little quantity carved
stand by the window which held her
precious pilgrim bottle, were all Just
as she had left them. What could the
noise have been? Suddenly, her eyes
fell upon the little square in the wall
high above bookcase.
"My ghost at last" said Polly, clasp
ing her palms together. She waited a
moment in breathless silence, but hear
ing no repetition of the noise which had
awakened her, she sprang out of bed,
put on her slippers and dressing gown,
threw some bits of wood upon the still
glowing embers, and, turning out the
lamp, she sat down before the fire to

been expecting for 10. these manydays.
The P~aschalls, father, mother and
daughter, had moved into their present
abode to await the erection of their own
house, and upon the very first day OF
their coming Polly had spied the little
secret door," as she called it, and Sc
lected this for her room.
Just think of the possibilities for a
romance she said to her father; and he
had gotten upon the house-cleaner's
step-ladder and found the door fastened
hard and fast.
sit is all safe" he said.
"Oh, ! want it to be safe from mortal
hands" Polly said; ''but ghosts do not
stand back for bolts and bars"
IF it is a ghost you want" said her
father, you may get it. This house
belongs to one of the oldest and, at one
time, one Of the w%ealthiest families in
the State. 1t has stood here for years
and has known many changes, and, !
suppose, could tell many stories, and
perhaps give up a good many ghosts. |

After China, with its hundreds OF
thousands of great, brown coolies and
its slim ones, who will walk all
day up hill under burdens that would
break down a European athlete on the

ton of pigmies.
Their average height must be under
five feet, they are narrow-chested and
thin-legged, their mouths TIRE always
stained a soldering, filthy red with tho
areca nut and lime that they chew I'M
ceasingly, and they are stupid beyond
the power of words to tell. Whether il
is the fault of their %conquerors or not !
can not say, but they appear to be a
people destitute of the sense of self
respect. At any rate the French treat
them as If they had none. The frs,

The Senate District committee has reported
the Atkinson Nc Pherson railroad bill with GER
tain amendments which it 10 claimed prevent
the measure from interfering with future treat
rnent Of the problem Of dangerous grade-cross-
ings and Of the gratntous use by the road of
public parks, and the promise of speedy action
IN regard to public relief in these matters also
accompanies the favorable report upon the
amended bill. The Senate amendments ex-
Guide from the operation Of certain provisions
OF the bill the space between 9Th and 18th
streets. To be Consistent the committee should
incorporate this amendment in each of the
three sections OF the bill. For the purpose of
leaving open the question what shall be done
with the tracks between 9th and 18th streets IL
Is just as important to forbid the legalizing
OF the illegal side tracks already there, as to
forbid the Commissioners to grant additional
permits for tracks affecting this space or TO
forbid the railroad to exercise power Of con-
demnation within these limits. If the
Senate shall decide with the committee that
this is the fitting time to confirm the roads
illegal use of six small public reservations or
open spaces, improved as parks in other parts
Of the city, and to enlarge the roads freight
facilities but is not the fitting time to decrease
granddaughter by abolishing certain grade
crossings and TO increase the beauty, health
fulness and security of the city, then amend
insnts of the kind suggested will be acceptable.
They will leave the public with bare hope of
checking this bloodshed st some time in the
future. But in order to furnish even this small
comfort they must be inserted in all three Sec
tions Of the bill Otherwise their offer is a
niockery. The same comment applies to Mr..
Atkinsons offer to amend the second section of
his bill by limiting its operation to the space
east Of AZ street. II this limitation is in
serted in the other sections so that no illegal
surface tracks are legalized, and no property
may be condemned west of A. street, then
there will be some substance to the offer, and
the amendment will not be mere delusion and
snare. No one denies that there is abundant
room for freight facilities east of Al street
and south of the present tracks, where the
tracks may always remain upon the surface as
freight sidings and turnouts should, and that
this land is SO cheap and SO well situated as to
commend itself to the railroad for these pur-
poses. 1t is not at all necessary to perpetuate
conditions west of A. street in order to supply
desired freight facilities.
