he asked.
"'Pier I exclaimed. You didn't sup

"Then he explained to me that that was
q mistake many western people who came
OF Boston made-that they thought pie
was too far west and vulgar. But he as
sured me that Boston society had pie three
times day, and that though man and
his wife had every other requirement OF
New England, and had not pie, they could
not win. knew pie was a western staple
In some sections out there pie comes first
and last, and is handed out between meals
And we were warned that 1t was consid-
cred plebeian in the east. So we studiously
cut it out of our social functions and came
very near being ostracized. AS soon rs we
discovered the cause my wife got up a din

And 1t Was Well Done, Whether He In

"The greatest Of all faults is to be con-
scious Of none"-that is Of none Of our
won. Perhaps the second greatest is to be
conscious of all Of our neighbors' faults.
This weakness is not newly discovered
one. People knew about 1t some time ago.
Esop did when he wrote:
every man has two wallets, one behind
and one before The one behind is filled
with our own faults, and the one before
with those Of our neighbors.
From that Ksop drew a conclusion as
to which faults we see the easier. His con-
clusion holds good today, not so much, let
us hope, with most of us as with the two
old ladies in this little story.

boring, a roomful of company with disser-
tations upon the general disagrecableness

drift Of the conversations; perhaps he had.

CHAPTER II.
THE GOING.

Miss Cherryton took the loss Of her
jewels more calmly than most people
would have done, probably because 1t
was her nature to take events quietly
and comfortably, just as they came.
She also had implicit faith in the po-
lice and never doubted the speedy re.
covery of the jewels.
But, strange to say, she seemed real
ly concerned about the loss of her pheas-
ants. She said repeatedly to Jack,
"How. very provokingl' and at last
made up her mind that Mr.. Wicks
ought to 60 back.
Now, the truth Of the matter was
that Miss Cherryton disliked dogs ex-
tremely. She was afraid of them, and
it was only on account Of her great fond
ness for Sylvia that in weak moment
she had allowed Mr.. Wicks to be sent
for, and the death Of the pheasants gave
her q tolerably good excuse for Mr..
Wicks' dismissal.
"Miss Druce will be dreadfully dis
appointed, pleaded Jack, who saw in
his aunt's decision an opportunity for
making some atonement to Sylvia for
having punished Mr.. Wicks. '"There is,
/ believe, great truth in the proverb,
Love me, love my dog, " he said con-
solingly to himself.
''Sylvia, DEAR" said Miss Cherryton
q little later. II am afraid Mr.. Wicks
Is too young to be here, and-and am
sorry to say that l think it would per-
haps be better il he went back.
"Oh, Miss Cherryton!' exclaimed
Sylvia, opening her blue eyes wide with
astonishment. II am sorry if he has
been troublesome, but I thought you
liked him little, and he does love the
country so. Won't you let him stay
just little longer?'
my dear, such pretty pleadings
ought to soften my heart, but mine is
hard heart"
"Look here, aunt, I'll guarantee that

will take him under my special care, If
Miss Druce will allow me. I'll lick him
into shape. No. no, l mean caress him
till he becomes the best, most obedient,
tractable, delightful dog in the world.
You positively mustn't refuse, aunt.
Think how Miss Druce will miss Mr..
Wioks."
"And how Mr.. Wicks will miss Miss
Druce," added Sylvia.
"And," continued Jack, "though he
has devoured young pheasants we shall
all miss him."
But Miss Cherryton shook her head
and remained firm through all these ar
guments.
"Never mind, Miss Druce," said
Jack cheerfully after Aunt Matilda had

ENGINES TO THE LEFT.
Why Ono Railroad Uses Its Left Hand
Track For Trains.

Why One Railroad Uses Its Left Hand
Track For Trains.
People who live along the line Of tho
Chicago and Northwestern railroad where
there is double track have often asked
the question, "Why Is 1t that the trains
run in and out on the left hand trackP'
In the case of the Northwestern and in
few other instances the time honored rule,
"Kecp to the right" Is disrcgarded, and
the engineer rides over the inside rail in
stead of the outer one. At Chief Engineer
Brunt's office it Is claimed that there are
arguments for and against running ahead
on the left hand track. The Northwestern
has made this its custom since the road
was first built, the main argument in It's
favor being that the engineer can better
keep both tracks under his watch. When
running ahead on the right hand track,
there Is always short distance 1mmedl-
ately ahead of the engine which he cannot
cover with his eye, while If he keeps the
right hand track to the right he can at all
times keep both tracks square in front OF
him. However, it is awkward to most en-
gineers, who prefer to run under the old
rule of keeping to the right. This Is evil
denced by the fact that most of the roads
stick to the old custom.
The Northwestern people say that they
will adhere to their. present practice, be-
cause were they to change 1t 1t would be
necessary to change the locations OF all
the depots, which are always on the near
side of inbound trains. 1t would be unsafe
to compel passengers to cross the tracks
from the depot, where they always wait
until the train arrives. If they had to
cross over, they would be running in front
Il 1n InI
Passengers who get off on the side opposite
the depot disperse at once after the train
pulls out, and there is no danger in cross
ing.
The present plan Of running ahead on
the left track isin,vogue all over the North
western system where there Is double
track, and it is doubled from Chicago to
Belle Plaine Ia, and to milwaukee, 1t Is
noticed that all the new depots on the ele-
waited tracks are built on the near side as
heretofore Chicago Tribune.
