THAT day when Warner.s nmnihn,

That day when Warmers omnibu
stopped at the end of the route. at
O'Clock, every passenger had left it. The,
had quarter of an hour to wait, and tn,
driver slipped hastily across to his favorib
! public house, which was conveniently sit
uated. Warner looked eagerly up anC
down the street, as if expecting some one
| but 1t was almost deserted. There was q
policeman little way down; there was .
! shabby looking fellow standing at the
corner against lamppost with his hal
slouched over his eyes-no one else
Warmers face fell; but it lghtened again
IN moment, as girlish figure emerged
from a street nearly opposite, and ran
lightly across to the omnibus. Warner
held out his hand, and she sprang in.
Here it is" she said proudly, uupack-
ing her small basket. You can't guess
what I've made you for dinner today. and
If you eat it now do believe it will be
hot"
Meat pie, Janet" said Warner. "well.
you are cook and no mistake. I've twelve
minutes-blest if there amt that unfor
tunate old lady who always comes quar-
ter of an hour before we're timed to start >
''She's long way off, ;" said Janet, with
your pie, VIII; she won't be here Yet
awhile"
But the old lady, having made various
frantic and far off signals, was increasing
her speed, which suggests 20 a casual Oh
server the individuality, in general way,
of attempting to persuade woman that a
tram or train, which she literally sees be
fore her with horses or an engine attached
is not going TO start till the time appointed
Statistics are very well---she sees the time
table. Nothing has altered, it never started
before then; il never will No-oh. no; but
the safest side is inside.
Very well, then" said Warner reIuc-
family. Hang the old girl-look at her
umbrella"
They kissed each other hastily in the
omnibus, thinking that no one saw them.
Least of all the aimless yagabond at the
corner with hat slouched over his eyes, who
was looking at nothing. He-ah, MOI
Then Janet sprang down again: and pres

When evening came he left the place Will
solemn elaboration and wended his way
homeward. He appeared in his conven
tioual style until he returned to the GENE
terry the following morning.
Never ask me any questions while am
on duty, for won't answer Them" was his
advice to hectoring youth. At noon, il
no visitors fingered about the grounds,
Jasper ate his luncheon, which he had
brought with him. 1t must have dawned
upon the mind of the reader ere this that
there was one prime object which held
Jasper Diggs with such fidelity to his post
He was quite rapidly gaining that object,
for nearly every stranger dropped a coin
| into the yawning money box that was at
tached to his waist belt.
The summer was waning, and cold. crisp
| blasts already began to sweep up the dead
| rafting leaves and breathe their harsh ca
dences into the ear OF aut
1t cannot be a pleasant prospect, even to
the foolish. TO do the tombstone act in the
dead of winter. The colder it grew the
more people came to visit the Pine Hollow
cemetery, and Jasper Digs income in
creased proportionately.
1t was somewhat about the middle of
November. A heavy cloak of snow COW
cred the earth like a shroud. The day was
drawing to a close. 1t was bitter cold.
The boy who for years had been the target
for all kinds of ridicule and abuse, the gen.
eral laughing stock of the village, resigned
his position that day, leaving the cemetery
half frozen, but with $780, the scattered
donation of charity, and not one red cent
of it came from the pocket of an inhabitant
of Pine Hollow.
Joseph Diggs was able to purchase for
his father worthy monument, and it can
well be imagined that he went to and came
from it with just feelings of pride.
Somehow people after that hung their
heads and acted as though they were
ashamed of themselves when Jasper was
around, and no one ventured any longer to
mock his manners or to jeer at his condi-
ton. And somehow Jasper did not appear
to their eyes as be had before, for in reality
he reversed the apparent intention of ma
ture with reference to his mental charac-
teristics. So changed did he become,
truth, that within few years he was in
trusted with the care Of the village school,
in which he continued to he a cherished
teacher until old age and i'll health COM
PEELED him to abandon that honorable pur-
suit and spend the remainder of his DAYS
in happy and comfortable home, blessed |
with wife who had been one of his early |
pupils.
II you ever visit Pine Hollow don't fail |
TO go and see old Mr.. Diggs' tombstone, |
for it is the finest one in the cemetery

Evidently She Knew,

Some girls are such idiots, don't you

and who did not care TO commit himself.

This tombstone, in default Of more:

The people OF Pine Hollow had some
thing to laugh over at last. 1t was thought
for awhile that some one had induced Jas
per TO play this role 10 rebuke the avari-
clous community or 10 move il 10 pity.
But the idea was disproved by the fact
that Jasper was so absorbed, body and
soul, In his purpose. so apparently uncon-
sclous OF even the severe tests made upoa

cerity. Throughout and beyond the county
tue TACT spread that in Pine Hollow there
was a living tombstone. Visitors focked
70 that place.

this story TO say that Jasper Diggs had no

fathers grave day and night. aud, like any

o LOVE, DELAY.

" Love, delay thy winged feet,
For while thou lingerest life is sweet;
we do not heed the paths we tread,
We do not mark the skies o'erhsad,
Or II the hours be slow or sweet.
With smiles both friends and foes we greet;
The winds and waves our joys repeat;
Alasl not so IL thou art fed;
o Love, delayl
While hearts in happy union beat
And lips in silent rapture meet,
And tender vows are softly said,
Who deems that Already is dead7-
Till time shall sound life's last retreat,

A Great Curiosity.

The lecture and entertainment to be
given next Monday evening at 8 o'clock
in the lecture room of First M. E. church
under the auspices of the Ladies Aid 80
ciety has the promise of success. Mrs.
Eugenia J. Bacon of New York is the
speaker. She comes highly endorsed. A
rare entertainment is promised. There
will be on exhibition at the church at the
lecture wonderful curiosity of nature, of
which Mrs. Bacon says:
This small fragment of red limestone
was taken from the roadway leading to
the cross on the summit of the Kofel-
Spite, a mountain overhanging the village
of Oberammergau, and held in reverence
by the simple villagers, who consider it
their guardian angel. After witnessing
the Passion Play of September 10, 1880,
with friend, climbed almost to the sym
Dol of our Savior's suffering. As memen-
to of the place, two small pebbles were
picked up, remaining for two weeks in
my pocket Together with other curios,
remained for eight years, about which time
fire occurred in the Young Mems Library
association of Atlanta, Ga, where they
were stored. At eleven o'clock p. m. :,
November 10, 1888, in relabeing,I CHANGED
to turn this fragment, so that the light fell
in certain angle. Although rough and
unhewn, a wonderfully sorrowful face re-
vealed itself. During my travels in France,
Norway, Russia and other places, many
artists were impressed with the phenome-
non, but no thought occurred Of exhibit
ing it.
Rev. DR.. John Hall says of this curios-
ity: GA remarkable accidental reproduce
ton of the human face has been shown
the same by scientists and Others"
Professor Newberry of Columbia college
says: 81 have examined the stone shown
me by Mrs. Bacon. - 1t is genuine and has
never been fashioned by art" Many other
notable men commend this remarkable
stone as a genuine wonder and curiosity
of nature

Action Taksn Yesterday BY the Sec
ond National Banks Directors
The Reason for the Reduction.
The directors of the Second National
bank at meeting yesterday morning
voted to recommend reduction of its
capital stock from 81, GOO, 900 to $500, 900
by paying back to the stockholders $50
on each share.
This step has been carefully considered
by the directors for the past two years, but
it was not until yesterday that final action
was taken on the matter.
In an interview with one Of the direc-
tors of the. bank Last night regarding the
change he said: "The change is made SIM
ply because so much capital is not need
ed. There is too much unemployed bank
capital in New Haven. Our bank is in a
most dourishing condition and has about
half million surplus besides its capital of
one million. With capital stock of half
a million the bank can do just as large a
business as it does at present and larger.
The other half million will be paid back
pro rata, of course, to the stockholders,
and they will, of course, employ it as they
see fit. The bank, as I said, will be am
ply equipped for all it's present business
and for q still lager business, with half q
million capital remaining. The bank pays
eight per cent. now on its capital of one
million, and on capital of half million
will be able to much increase its dividend
while the half million set free can be otn
erwise invested where it will bring forth
fruit. Of course the action of the diree-
tors. must be ratified by the stockholders
a two-thirds vote of whom is necessary tt
uphold the same, but, as we are vel
aware, the stockholders will most cheer
fully ratify the proposed change.

A CLEVER SWINDLER
Attempts to Work New Haven Busi

Attempts to Work New Haven BUSH
ness Men for Money.
A young man having the appearance of
theological student entered Gilbert's
bakery on Elm street yesterday morning
and asked if Mr.. Gilbert was in. He was
told that the proprietor was out, but
would return shortly. He waited for a
few minutes about the store and then
left.
Soon after he appeared at Gilbert's
Chapel street bakery with note which
had apparently been written by Mr.. Gil
bert. Itrequested tho clerk to pay So to
the bearer Of the note. The young woman
who received this note thought it strange
that Mr.. Gilbert should take this manner
of transferring money, to strangers, espe-
cially as there was not 30 large an amount
in tho drawer at. that early hour of the
day. Nevertheless, the note seemed gen
uine and bore the signature of the propri-
etor. a..
When the young man who presented it
was told that So could not be spared from
the drawer at that time he expressed some
disappointment and said he would take
whatever she could give him and give Mr..
Gilbert credit for this amount. The clerk
gave him 65 cents, which he took and de-
parted. 49,
When Mr.. Gilbert heard of the affair he
Immediately saw that the young man was
swindler. He had written no note nor
did he know of anyone bearing the de-
scription of the stranger to whom he
wished to transfer 50. This method of
swind1ing business men has been tried sew.
eral times recently about the city. But a
short time ago Shows confectionery store
was touched" in this manner for s., and.
one or two ether attempts at the same
game have been reported.
