manouveres was to throw any one
who might be following them, off the
track, and also to fill up the time be-
fore the train would start, as the
special from Harrisburg had arrived
sooner than was expected. When
the carriage drew near the railroad
station, Mr.. Kenney instructed the
driver to proceed by narrow cross
street. so that the party might be in
the shadow of the yard fence when
they alighted. AS soon as the car
riage stopped, Mr.. Pinkerton
sprang to the ground and led the
way through the yards to the train
they were to take, which was being
held for orders.
The perfection Of Mr.. Pinkerton's
arrangements was now seen; for,
while they were hurrying- over the
tracks, they were met by William
Stearns, the master machinist of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad, who whispered to
the detective the reassuring words:
"A1I is right" BY previous arrange
mepts made by Allan Pinkerton's ia
nous woman detective Kate Warn,
three sections had been secured for
the party in the sleeping car at the
rear end of the train, and it had also
been arranged that the rear door OF
this car should be left open for the
convenience of an invalid, who would
be able to reach his berth more quiet
ly. The porter in charge of the sleep
ing car, who made this unusual con-
cession, was named Knox; and it
was in great measure due to his in
telligence and care that Mr.. Lincoln
was able to board the train and
make the journey to Washington
without any one outside the irnme
date party suspecting his presence.
Once in his berth the President new
er showed his face until the follow
ing morning. Not even the conduc
tor saw him, for Allan Pinkerton
presented his ticket, explaining that
his friend must not be disturbed.
Guarding Mr.. Lincoln on either side,
and never closing their eyes
through that anxious night, were
George H. Bangs and Mrs. Kate
Warn, two of Pinkerton's most
trusted detectives. who were suppos-
ed by the train hands and passen-
gers to be members of an ordinary
family party.-[McClure's for Nov

A KIND THOUGHT.

Long years ago, when [ was a girl
at boarding-schOOl. a sllver-halred
1 old lady was in the habit of coming
Unto our advanced French class now
and then. We girls all fell in love
with Madame Closson for her kind
face and gentle, placid manners, and
used to think it d great privilege to
sit by her, and find the place for her,
and help her with her wraps after
class was over. One day, when it
was my good fortune to hold the
splace OF honor beside her, the last
one to recIte was Miss Parks. She
was day pupil, a plain. awkward
girl, and very dull. 1t was evident
I.frC m her first sentence that she did
not know the lesson; but MAIDEN DIS
ellie patiently heard her through, ap-
Darently desiring to see if there was
amy thing in it she did know. When
we had been dismissed, and took up
M adame Blossoms shawl to lay it
over her shoulder, | was thinking,
i what a dreadfully homely, stupid
girl Miss Parks Is" Could the dear
old lady have read my thoughts?
think she had a soul too innocent
EOT that, but this remark she made,
i my dear, what sweet tempered
disposition Miss Parks seems to
shave?' The words went through
me like an electric shock. For the
first time realized my selfshness,
and saw it contrasted with the good
ness of heart which could see only
goodness in others. My eyes filled
with tears. and with a sudden i'm
pulse l kissed the hand she gave me
as she said goodbye. Again and
again since that day, when some un-
/ kind thought has come into my
mind, the memory of dear Madame
Blossoms kind face and sweet words
have come to help me; and if l have
1 learned to see more of Gods image
in those l meet than did in my girl
hood. 1 owe it in a great measure to
the dear old lady's kind thought.

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

A young woman endowed with all
the advantages of beauty, wealth
and position, had occasion to visit
the upper stories of a large mercan-
title establishment in this city. While
waiting for the elevator to take her
to the ground floor again she motto
ed a young girl trying to lift large
sbox of merchandise to a shelf above
her head, says the Detroit Free Press.
The girl was slight and feeble-lool-
1 ling, and the heart of the other wo-
man was stirred with Indignation as
she observed several unemployed
men lounging near who did not off; +
to lend helping hand. She herself
started forward and said impulsive-
1 ly:
Il am taller and stronger than
you; let me lift that box"
"Oh, madam, you are very kind, ]"
said the girl, dropping her arms
YEARLY at her side, while the visitor
lifted the box with ease and swung
i 1T on the shelf.
You must belong to a ladies'
gymnasium" continued the girl, ad-
N .rlngly, "or you could not have
lifted that box alone"
4 belong to the Young Women's
Christian Association" was the an
swer of her new friend, and l did not
lift that box alone. Love for my Sis
tiers, whoever or wherever they may
be, inspired me with a strength that
enables me to help bear heavy bur
dens. The Great Helper helped me-"
The lady went away and the next
morning received a brief note, writ
ten in girlish hand, which simply
stated the fact that the writer in
tended to find help from the same
source, and thanking her for her in
terest in an unknown and friendless
girl.
And the president of the Young
Women's Christian Association has
no dearer memento among her cor
respondence than this little thankful
letter. Boston Journal.

LINCOLN'S SECRET JOURNEY TO
AVOID ASA SSINA TON.

friends, including several of the rail-
road officials, were speeding east

adelphia, in a darkened car, no stop
being made until they reached Down
ingtown, where the engine took wa
ter Here all the party except Mr..
Lincoln left the car for lunch, the
President remaining alone in the
shadows until his friends returned
bringing him a cup of tea and a roll.
Again the train started and pro-
ceeded without incident to
Philadelphia, where they were met
at the West Philadelphia station,
shortly after ten O'Clock, by Allan
Pinkerton, with closed carriage.
On the seat beside the driver was H.
F. Kenney, superintendent of the

would deliver into his hands person

Immediately on leaving the train,
the party, including the President,
Mr.. Lamon, and Allan Pinkerton,
took seats inside the carriage, and
were driven down Market Street as
far as Nineteenth, then up that street

London's Lord Mayor a Busy Man.


If ever a man, says The Strand
Magazine interviewer, was beset
with Office and situation hunters and
inundated with begging letters-to
ray nothing of requests, both strange
and amusing-it is the lord mayor
of London. The great army of the
unemployed of every grade, from a
bank manager down to messenger,
from director to caretaker, each
and every one thinks his 1ordship
can find him situation and put him
in it.

Cne young settler out in Canada,
tired of a single life, bethought him
lately of the lord mayor of London
as a suitable person to find him a
wife. The agency was declined.
On another occasion continental
tradesman had conceived the idea of
turning the Mansion House into q
market with Ibis lordship as chief
salesman, for he sent over a large
case of goods with a request that they
might be sold on his behalf. An
other sample of Mansion House cor
respondence exhibited to the lord
mayors interviewer was a letter
from boy who had gone out from a
reformatory to Montreal. He wanted
to find his three brothers in England,
and fortunately the lord mayor, with
the aid of other civic officials, was
enabled to accomplish his object

that he would not be able to tell the

prepare "a savory dish" for them.

in his quick, natural sense, the other
in the skill of his cook.

passed all praise. The dish was
placed before the knowing epicure.

My medical friend explains: AS the
muscular power that extends or fiex-

tears is from an irritation in a dis

when the nervous center is either
soothed or exhausted. The relief
comes, not from the mere escape of
tears, which is only symptom, but
from the cessation of the storm in
the nervous chain If the storm be

tual exhaustion following a period of
nervous activity.-Bo Boston Globe.
