looked like a thick stick or hedge
stake, and with this in his hand he
came on at quicker pace, as
though intending to overtake us.
At this my mistress turned pale
and tremblcd With fear, exclaim-
Ing:

to do us harm.
But In her great fear Mrs Mas.
sic could not trust her baby out of
her arms, and instead OF giving it
to me she pressed the little thing
all tho closer to her breast. Thus
we ran down the lane as fast as our
feet would take us, not daring to
look back upon our pursuer. We
knew the tramp was following, be.
cause we could hear him shouting
after US in loud and angry tones.
1t seemed that he was trying to
tnghten us, but we ran on and
never paused a moment to hcar
what he said.
The farmhouse toward which We
were Fastening was not yet in sight,
but we fed swiftly onward, hoping
soon to find refuge there aud to
gain the assistance of its inmates.
For awhile the tramp ceased to
shout, so glanced around to see it
he was still purulng us, wherenDOn

ing it above his head shouted all
the louder and more angrily and

Mrs. MaSsie WAS almost exhaust
ed with running, but she refused to
let me have the baby, although |
was the younger and stronger and
better able to carry it. In her
terror she seemed to fancy the
baby was safer in her arms than it
would be in mine, though felt
sure it would have greatly relieved

the infant from her. Almost
6reathless with the warmth of the
day and the exertion Of the flight,

cheeks like rain on window pane.
Yet she Gid not mean TO give in,

the tramp evidently intended for

seeing us running, so we ceased to
hurry and approached the house at
a walk, thinking the tramp would
give up the chase when he saw us

were mistaken, as we had been all
the while in his intentions, for he
came on without pausing and fol-

An ObIgllg Tramp.

Mrs. Massie in the country, and
there was not another house with
in a mile of the QUE Occnpied by
her family. The high road, or
turnpike, as we called it, was close
by, and this in summer time was
much travelled on by trampS and
diSleputable persons. But, as a
rule, we at MaSsie'S took little
heed of tramps, and few of those
who cane to beg ever got served
at our door. If any did get served
they were I'll her the very needy
or the par icularlS "cheeky." Tue
former were relieved out of pity
for their condition, the latter to
get I'd of them.
But Mrs. Massie could deny
even a very "cheeky beggar" il
she suspected him OF beng an
impOStOr. No doubt she did it
with more timidlty than temerity,
but there was usually big dog or
big farm labOrer within sound OF
her voice. Therefore she did do 1t
occasionally. Only that very fore
noon she had refused to serve a
burly turnpike navy who begged
hard for a piece of bread and a
drink OF milk.
You look strong and healthy.
Why don't yol work" asked Mrs.
MaSsie.
GLOW can folks work when there
ain't any work for 'em to do?" said
he.
There's plenty to do ifyOu only
look for it in likely place." she
replied.
"I've been looking for three
months and amt found 1t yet"
said he.

thought it was rather unfeeliD 6
of Mrs. Massio TO talk like that,
out she had been in a pet over
something or other that morning
and was not quite herself.
Well, about an hour after that
she came to me in quite q good
humor and asked me to 60 for a
walk and take the baby, saying it
would do MS good to get out a bit.
So, OF course l got ready, and we
were soon enjoying the fresh air
and the sunshine. For some dis
tance we walked on the turnpike,
but before long we came to a mar.
row lane which led to our nearest
neighbor's whose farm was ab out
a mile away.
The lane, except tor birds and
insects, was as lonely a place as
any once could wish for. Therefor
we were not a little startled wher
on, turning corner, We came upOr
a tramp-the very navy whom
Mrs. Massie had so rudely dis
missed that morning.
He was lying IN the shade OF
thick hedge, aud he looked up 81
we passed. When l saw him
through the kitchen window tha
morning, l noticed that he did no
look very refined, neither in man
ners nor in features, but now OF
passing close to him in that marrow
lane fancIed he looked qDite ferO
cious. Evidently he and Mrs
MassIe recognized each other, ant
it was plain that this did not pleas
her, for she turned away from hin
with a shudder, as though she ha'
seen a serpent.
The navy must have seen tha

HAS LEARNED WISDOM
Debs Says Nothing Can be Gained by
Striking.

Chloago, August l.-Eugene V. Debs,

Ven'ioh Vi the American Railway Union to-
morrow 10 decide whether the railway
strike Will be officially declared of, or if 1t

operation. If the delegates think as Debs
does To-Day, and there is little doubt that
tney VIII defer TO his Judgment, tomorrow's
convention will PROBABLY conclude there is
nothlng to be gained by continuing the
strike IN which they are beaten. II will
never again have any official connection
with strike" said Debs today. THE Or
gani2ed elements of society are opposed to
strikes, he continued, land as long as
strikes are repugnant to society. it is
useless 10 lnaugurate them We would start
In now ahd organize on most extensive
o an, out 1t would end inevitably as this
one has. We had the general managers
whipped, every one knows that, until they
tied our hands with injunctions and brought
out the troops. Gen. Miles came here for
the express purpose of beating the strikers,
not to preserve order He Immediately went
INTO consultation with the managers. He
did not try to get our side of the question,
ana two days later he announced he had
broken the back bone of the strikers. Under
such circumstances it is vain to hope that
anything car be gained by striking.
