The ThOught-CIouds.

1t may seem idle dreamy and desultory
to discuss the thinking of thoughts but to
the Man Who Saw there was something
fascinating in that form of self-study that
turned thought upon thought and looked
into and analysed the process of thinking
them In his less busily occupied moments
it seemed to him as if the clouds of thought
were hanging overhead, even as the rain
cloud, while from their cool, misty folds
were dropped as curses or as benedictions
the thoughts that accompanied him
through waking hours and lowered about
his nightly resting place in the form Of
dreams. Sometimes-too often-the thought
shower was scanty and as the clouds
seemed to float high and dry the daintily
shaded riffs in their ragged folds, and
the glitter of the sunlight on their outer
edges were tantalizing to him who stood
eXpectant beneath. And sometimes there
was deluge Sometimes the drops fell as
a soothing balm; and sometimes they
would goad, annoy and puzzle their vic
tim. He could not escape them. He was at
the mercy of the climatic conditions in the
realm of thought.
One day when the shower had been un-
usually scanty this thought fell:
Under the thought-clouds, looking up.
With a prayerful heart and a fearful eve
Here. in my hand, the empty cup.
Hoping the blessing may not pass by
Still do / stand meath the thought-ciouds
dark;
Chill are the mists as they roll and roll;
But my hearts hope-ships in despair en-
bark
For no dew from the thought-cIouds fell

then what a compliment to get letter of
whole page from the Great Poet that all
the boys in school knew about, and that
mamma knew more about than any of the
boys. 1t was really his, was it-and no
'fake?" Yes it had to be, for there was his
name right down at the end of the beauti-
full page.
But the Man Who Saw was blushing by
this time and he put the letter back in his
side coat pocket. The news spread to the
rest of Joy Square that he had received a
nice long letter from the Great Poet And
much was the marvel and many We're the
thumb marks that accumulated on that
beautiful wide margin about the sacred
chirography. For the Man Who Saw was
prouder and happier than any except his
wife and his baby knew-it made him
dream of a time when-no, it was too So
cred to mention, even in whisper; and
the fires of a renewed ambition ragged and
roared within him. Then he sat down and
wrote these lines to
RUTHIE ACROSS THE WAY.
Dear little Ruthie across the street
Is Is, a maiden know that's fair and sweet;
with face so round that her mamma saws
Gods fingers were used for compasses
In shaping It; with eyes, dark brown
That cast about, and up and down.
Enriching the sunlight where'er they re
turned.
With figure erect, and plump and strong.
With hair that is curly, and brown, and
long,
With ankles as graceful as artists dreams.
With hands that the work of sculptor
seems;
Dimples each side of her rosebud mouth
AS soft and as warn as g, breeze from the
South
The fairies live in each sweet abyss
To punish the robLer who'd steal a kiss
Just four summers CID is the little Ruth,
A four-year-old bundle of light and truth:
With her parasol dainty, her dark red
dress
Embodied sensation of loveliness:
With graceful step and a winning smile
She crosses the street for a little While
With the sky-eyed tot who is proud TO be
The one that Ruthie has come TO see.
The sun on JOY Square used to shine
The blossoms were sweet on the breeze

The trees in the sunlight used 10 glow
AS far. far back as the old folks know
And the sky seemed the very intensest blue.

nor less than the receipt of letter by the
Man Who Saw, from the Great Poet. Then
the Man Who Saw was more than ever a

carried that letter in his side coat pocket,

RAILROADS..

In an article in the Philadelphia In
quirer, dealing with some phrases OF
the railway problem in Great Britain
and the United States, Robt. P. Porter
SAYS the most superficial observer must
be struck with the widely different
treatment accorded railway enterprise
by the legislators of the two countries.
In England the railways have been
treated with reasonable intelligence.
and, while parliament has insisted
upon equal and reasonable rates, they
have not, as in this country, been tied
up by an interstate law, which forbids
freedom of contract for the purpose of
unifcatioa of charges at competing
points, nor harrassed in a thousand
different ways by almost half hum
dred legislatures, with unlimited power
and great inclination for local mischief.
AS a result of this policy, the returns
of the British railways for 1896 show
these properties to be in an exceedingly
prosperous condition, nearly all the
stocks bringing fair dividends, the in.
terest on the loans and bonds promptly
paid, the wages of the employees on
some roads voluntarily increased, and
an increased employment, both in the
shops and on the tracks.

terstate commerce commission, when
contemplating the fact that in two

The bloodhound Of America is orig
iually of English strain and breeding,
cross between the famous "Redbone"
hound and the Great Beagle. He is q
good liver, fierce by nature, but an
apt learner and very docile and obe-
dent under careful training and kind
treatment, and when employed in the
pursuit of human beings he can be
trained to detain them without injur-
ing his prisoners, holding them at bay
in perfect command. Muscular and
ad-chested, with large, pendulous
ears and upper lips, and facial ap-
pearance that has been variously de-
scrbed as "noble," "stern" and
"thoughtful;" :" he is of medium size,
weighing from 40 to so pounds, and
his color is usually deep tan, cloud
ed with black. For several genera
tions he has been used for various
purposes in the south; but it is only
in very recent years that he has come
to be recognized in the north as good
detective and successful man chaser.
The very first of these dogs to be put
in service as trailers of fleeing culprits
north of the Ohio river were the now
famous hounds, "Old Jack" and "Old
Lucy" purchased in Alabama and
taken to Indiana by William A. Car
ter, of Seymour, in 1890. The mother
of these dogs, "Old Patsey," had been
very successful in trailing and assist
ing in the capture of the notorious
robber and murderer, "Old Rube Bur-
rows" whose trail she followed for
over $50 miles in Alabama.

Mr.. Barnes then started toward tho
next room, and the squire followed,
hardly daring to think Of what they
might be about to discover.
Approaching tho fact that the bust
ness before them was very serious, the
three men entered the parlor quite
gravely. AS they did SO Lewis, who was
bending over the body, rose and said in
low voice:
Gentlemen, my father has been
murdered. The squire sank into the
nearest chair. His last hope was gone.
Lewis continues: 81 repeat he has been
murdered. There is bullet hole in his
left side, where it is almost impossible
for him to have shot himself; therefore
suicide is out of the question.
At the words BULLET hole" Mr..
Barnes became all attention. Here was
something tangible. Here was real evil
dence. The position Of the wound, too,
that was quite important, and Lewis
conclusion seemed logical enough. But
he had used the correct words when he
said "almost impossible. MIR. Barnes
was a careful man in forming opinions,
and experience had taught him that the
seemingly impossible often occurs.
Still, in the line Of thought suggested
by Lewis words, he turned to Squire
Olney:
"Can you tell US whether your friend
was left handed?"
"Yes, am sure he was not"
"Then it is probable that he was shot
by some other party than himself.
Squire, the affair is now serious. 1t be-
comes our duty to try to find the guilty
party"
At the word duty" the squire recov-
cred himself instantly and was all at
tention. Mr.. Barnes continues:
"The coroner should be notified at
once"
II am the coroner Of the county, "
replied the squire. "In this town we
have not needed such an officer within

q warrant for him. As was once JUS
tice of the peace he knew that under
stand such matters tried to dissuade
him from his purpose, but he was de-
termined to have Marvel arrested for
assault with intent to kill. He procured
the warrant, but thus far Marvel has
kept out of the way. After several more
unsuccessful attempts to persuade Lewis
to abandon his object was obliged to
give up the task. Then the continued
absence Of young Marvel began to worry
me, and I feared that he might return
and kill Lewis. Therefore have decid-
ed that it will be best to find him be-
fore any such calamity can occur, this
as much for his sake as for the safety Of
Lewis. So l have sent for you, Mr..
Barnes, taking step Of which Lewis is
ignorant. And now may I ask you
what in your Judgment will be the
chance of apprehending Maryel?"
"Oh," said Mr.. Barnes, there will
be no difficulty in finding him. I do
not think he is hiding from the law. If
at all, it is from the disgrace which he
fancies that Mr.. Lewis has cast upon
him. But if he really loves Miss Lewis
the thing is simple. We have but to
watch her. He is sure to seek an inter.
view sooner or later.
"There,' - said the squire admiringly;
"see how quickly you get at it. Ishould
never have thought of such mode Of
proceeding. You are right, too, as to
your first conjecture. Marvel is high
spirited, and I should not be surprised
