He Had Reason for His Actions, but
Something Was Wrong.
When the train pulled up into the way
station the young woman was standing
on the station platform surrounded by
several other young women, who were
all talking at once. The young man
stood short distance away, holding a
big valise.
''Hop on there, MariaF" he called out
Don't be all day about it"
Every girl in the crowd, with the ex-
ception of the one addressed, exclaimed,
"Ohl" and looked as though something
dreadful had happened. She retorted:
"Hop on yourself If you want to. I'm
coming"
The other girls said "OhI" again, and
the young man got on the train. Then
he called out again:
Cant you get a move on you, Mariaf
You'll talk an arm off of some one"
'Ill come when get ready, Jacob
che returned.
Then she hastily kissed the girls good
by and boarded the train, while they re-
tired to a corner Of the station and held
a whispered conference over something
that seemed to trouble them.
Flop down therer" he said as they
came to a double seat. "You don't mind
riding backward and it bothers me-"
She cat down, and he put the big
valise on the seat beside her and then
settled himself comfortably on the other
seat, while the old lady two seats behind
exclaimed, ''Wen, / never% and some
one else muttered, ''The brutep
For fifteen minutes after the train
started he pretended to be reading a
paper and she was looking out of the
window. But every minute or two he
glanced at her over the top of his paper
and her gaze frequently rested on his
face.
And she seemed to be proud of him.
Suddenly she turned toward him with
the exclamation:
Jacob, do you need every paper in
this carr"
He threw her over one he had in his
lap.
81 wonder you didn't think of it be-
FORE" she said.
You're able to speak out if you want
anythingl" he retorted. You've got
tonguep
There were more comments from vari-
Gus portions of the car and every one
seemed to be wondering what he would
do next.
Ten minutes later he looked stealthily
around the car. Every eye was fixed on
him or the young woman who was look
ing shyly over the top of her paper He
threw his down.
"Maria," he said, they've sized us upl
We can't fool EN- and there's no use try

a moment later the newly made wife's
head was pillowed on her husbands
shoulder, and as she looked up into his
eyes she suggested:
Perhaps we overdid it, Jacob"
perhaps we did, he said, but this
is better anyway"
Then he kicked the papers into the
aisle and they carried on a whispered
conversation for ninety miles.-Chicago

A LOST BOY.

About O'Clock last evening two boys,
one about years old and the other little
older, were playing near the Twelfth
street depot on North Main street when
the older boy went away telling the little
fellow to wait there until he returned. Up
to about O'Clock this morning he had not
been seen again and the little fellow who
had waited faithfully all this time was
taken in by the kind-hearted operator at
the depot.
The boy gave his name as Shields, but
said that his folks had just moved here
from FL Dorado only few days ago, and
because of not being familiar with the
names of the streets, could not tell where
he lived. He was taken out of the cold
and well cared fer last night, and it is sup
posed that he will be claimed by his
parents today. The whereabouts of the
older boy is still a mystery.

prominently before the public was the
breaking of the worlds half mile tandem
record at Detroit July II. The old record
was lib Is; the new one is Los, and it is
believed that the Buffalo team can do the
mile in 2:15.
Another event that made the team prom
inent was its defeat of w. f. and G. M.
Murphy, the famous Brooklyn team, July
II, in race for the New York state tan
dem championship at Syracuse. Banker

who has won four National L. A. w.
championships and numerous other i'm

of Pennsylvania six times, and with W. T.

Brinker, who stands at the left in the

one Of the most promising men in America
