.Reenhar,a Only Poem.

It was related by Mrs. Beecher that
during their courtship Mr.. Beecher once
dropped into poetry and wrote a few
lines of verse teeming with affection
for his sweetheart. But the verses were
always kept sacred by Mrs. Beecher,
and nothing could win them from her.
One day Mr.. and Mrs. Beecher were
in the office Of Robert Bonner, the pub
Usher.
"Why don't You write a poem, Beech
er?'' said Mr.. Bonner.
HE did once" said Mrs. Beecher.
"Recite it for me, won't you, Mrs.
Beecher?"
But the eyes of the great preacher
were riveted on his wife, and she knew
that he meant silence.
Come, said Mr.. Bonner, "I'll give
you So. 900 if you will recite that poem
to me-" addressing Mrs. Beecher.
"Why, it ram quickly said Mrs.
Beecher.
"Eunice," simply said Mr.. Beecher.
And although Robert Bonner offered
to double the sum first offered he never
got the poem from Mrs. Beecher. 1t had
been hidden away ever since by Mrs.
Beecher and cherished us one Of the dear
est treasures her husband left her.-Bos.

pointed equipage and alighted in front

were in evening dress. The bride had
on her orange blossoms and veil; II pref
ty bride she was too. Everything about
the party was au fait. They took their
seats on the terasse aud, of course, a
crowd at once began to gather near
them, for while bridal parties are not
an uncommon sight in Paris, still, as a
rule, the blushing bride hides herself
discreetly in some %far-otf, obscure res
taurant, rather than f1aunt herself In
the face and eyes of the b~oulevards.
Slipping their absinthe, the party chat

about them drank in every word. They
talked in unconscious audibleness, and
every word they said was simply a
glorification of the Montmartre cafe.

clear and distinct, from the detached
train. The man at the telegraph instru-
ment sprung to his feet and ran to n
side window In the waiting room and
looked up the track.
Now was her chance. Hardly think
ing what she did. Polly sprung to the
engineers side of the cab, threw back
the reverse lever and opened the throt-
tie steadily. The big steel wheels be-
gan to turn, very slowly at first. Far
Their and farther the thrattle opened
and faster and faster turned the
wheels, and yet they did not go half
fast enough to suit Polly, who was now
CHANGING fearfully over her shoulder.
Suddenly the depot door was thrown
open and she saw the robber darting up
the track. He had his pistol in his
hand, He vas pointing 1t at her and
shouting for her to stop. But the en-
CINE was now going at good speed, and,
run as he would, the robber could not

must he fired or 1t would not go far,
and so, leaving the throttle open, she
sprung to the coal pit, flung open the
fire hole, and with the heavy shovel in
her small white hands threw In load
after load of coal. When she returned
to her place she could see the first sig
nal light of Mercer already blinking
into view. She pulled down on the
whistle cord and the engine shrleked Its
distress.
Five minutes later Polly strained at
the heavy reverse lever, turned hard
on the air brake and brought the great
iron horse to a sudden standstill. How
she ever managed to stammer the story
she never knew, but in q few minutes
the engine was headed back with half a
dozen armed men aboard of her. Be-
hind them came another load of men on
a switch engine and two men were rae
ing up the street of Mercer calling the
alarm.
They heard firing before they reached
Kane Creek, but it ceased soon after

From the time that the engine stop

around and inquire the Mercer men re-

out to find the girl who had brought
help to the beleaguered train.
In n little clump of bushes they heard
a man moaning, and an instant later
they saw Polly kneeling in the sand,
with her fathers head in her lap, cry

swarming around the engine, she heard
fierce oaths, and then the engine start
ed up again. She saw In an instant
that It had been cut free from the train.
In the cab window, where her father
usually stood, there was a big, unfamil-
lar figure managing the lever and throt-
tie. Terrified, Polly sprung to n side
into n clump of bushes. As the locomo-
tive passed her on its way up the track
she saw that the nan in the cab wore
a black mask on his face, and then she
knew what had happened. She under
stood why Pinckney had tried to warn
her anG failed. Robbers had held up
the train and were preparing to rob
the express car.
For n moment Polly was torn with
doubt and terror. Had they shot her
father? She knew that he never would
submit to have his train captured with
out n struggle. Should she go to him?
Then she remembered her station and
the telegraph, and without a moments
delay she was flying down the track
toward the depot. She would send for
help to Mercer. But squarely in front
of the little depot the locomotive stop
ped and the black-masked man sprung
from the cab window and darted
across the platform. Hardly thinking
what she was doing, Polly ran up on
the other side, the fireman's side of the
engine, and, raising herself up, peered
into the cab. She had half expected
to see her fathers dead body lying
on the floor, for she had heard much
about the terrible doings of train rob-
bers.
Through the cab window she could
see the robber sitting at her own little
desk in the depot sending a message.
1t flashed oyer her all at once that he
was wiring Mercer that the express
was delayed, thus preventing any
alarm. The robber had pushed up his
mask and she saw him plainly.
What should she do? She dared not
enter the Office, and she, a mere girl,
could be of no service where the rob-
bers we're making their attack on the
train. If only she had the little reyolv-
er that lay in the drawer of her desk
she set her teeth as she thought what
she would do with it.
At that moment three shots rang out,

Whist John Burroughs and Others Say Of

In his entertaining book "Wake
Robin" and in the chapter entitled
"Spring at the Capital" tpages 165-1e6l
John Burroughs says: "Outside Of the
city limits the great point of interest
to the rambler and lover Of nature is
the Rock creek region. Rock creek is q
large, rough, rapid stream which has
it's source in the interior of Maryland
and flows into the Potomac between
Washington and Georgetown. Its course
for five or six miles out of Washington
is marked by great diversity of scenery.
Flowing in a deep valley, which now
and then becomes a wild gorge with
overhanging rocks and high, precipitous
headlands, for the most part wooded
here reposing in long, dark reaches,
there sweeping and hurrying around a
certain bend OF over a rocky bed; re-
ceiving at short intervals small runs
and spring rivulets, which open up Wis
tas and outlooks to the right and left
of the most charming description-Rock
creek has an abundance of all the ele-
ments that make up not only pleasing
but wild and rugged scenery. There is
perhaps not another city in the Union
that has OH its very threshold so much
natural beauty and grandeur, such as
men seek for in remote forests and
mountains. A few touches of art would
convert this whole region, extending
from Georgetown to what is known as
Crystal springs, not more than two
miles from the present state depart
ment, into a park unequaled by any
thing in the world. There are passages
between these two points as wild and
savage and apparently as remote from
civilization as anything Il meets with
in the mountain sources of the Hudson
or the Delaware. life and Light"
