Although whispers have been afioat con- cerning the attention which William Wall dorf Astor of England, formerly of New York, has been paying to Mrs. Ogden Goelet, widow of the late millionaire, all society was startled a short time ago when cables announced their engagement. MT. Goelet, it will be remembered, died on his yacht at Cowes, England, August 27, 1897. During the year Mrs. Gsslet retired from society on account of her mourning, but lately she has begun to emerge from her se- clusion and her mitigated mourning makes her more beautiful than ever.
 Mrs. Goelet is the daughter of Richard T.. Wilson, the New York banker and multi millionaire. MT. Wilson is from Georgia, and his wife was a Miss Johnson, Of an illustrious southern family. Mrs. wilson IS said to be the greatest matchmaker In America. One of her daughters is Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., and her son married Mrs. Astor's daughter

Mrs. Goelet is of medium height and slender and is of that dark type of beauty that makes her seem more like a French than an American woman. Mer daughter Mis- May Goelet, is, it is said, soon to be the Duchess of Roxburghe. Mrse Goelet has figured conspicuously in society both in America and England, and her fame as a hostess Is far reaching.

pened that Mr.. Duckworth, Jr., was
once on time up and stirring in
lively manner about three o'clock a. m.
But first of all l must tell you who
Johnnie was and where he lived. John
MES home was a wee little house, as
neat as pin and as yellow as butter
cup, that stood all alone on small flat
plain, sort of clearing by the rail-
road, which was as hot as pepper in
summer and as cold as Greenland in
winter. From the windows on one side
of this little house, built by our hero's
father, could be seen the railroad tracks
glistening at short distance; and from
the windows on the other side could be
seen a narrow river that glistened far
more charmingly. So Johnnie's mother
had always thought, and invariably
took her sewing to the window in the
parlor, from which, when she raised
her eyes from the enormous rents made
by her son in his clothing, she could
watch for a moment the peaceful, flow
ing water. Father Duckworth, how
ever, always drew his chair to the OPP
l. ~, - l.:
of leisure, and every now and then,
dropping his paper into his lap, he
would gaze out over his round glasses
lovingly at the straight dashes of steel.
His face would simply beam with de-
light when the house began to culver
gently, then to shake more and more
violently and then to dance as thun-
dering train whizzed by. When a slow
freight tangled over the tracks, he
would lean out of the window and adj
dress funny remarks to the men on
board, for Mr.. Duckworth knew all the
-'hands." All his life he had worked re-
pairing those rails, and he loved them
next to his wife and Johnnie. Mr. Nc
Kinley could not be prouder to be pres
ident than John Duckworth was to be-
long to the section gang" company
of men employed to keep the tracks in
order. He used to say to his son: IF
your life is as straight and flawless and
bright as them rails you'll reach the
place want you to get to all right. I'll
DE there to meet you and your good
mother" Johnnie did not half under
stano this wise saying, yet he always
looked politely solemn; but Mrs. Duck
worth ever brought to earth this one
flight of her husbands fancy by beg
ging him not to make her so sad; and
then she always added-partly, it would
seem, as if to show her own ability for
speaking fancifully-that she hoped

Johnnie's life would be as deep and as
clear as the river. So Johnnie grew up
with a poetic awe for the river and the
rails. He learned all about his fathers
business, and Mr.. Duckworth took just
pride in his sons knowledge. I doubt
if many boys know as much about cars
and engines and their tricks and man
ners" as Johnnie knew.
After poor Mr.. Duckworth had died
of sunstroke while repairing some
sleepers few miles up the track at the
little village station, Johnnie, although
overwhelmed with grief, told his moth
er with pride that as soon as he was
old enough he wanted her to make him
some jumpers, and then he would take
his fathers place in the section gang
and would support her, Mrs Duck
worth smiled through her tears, and
was brave and patient for her boys
sake.
The months passed slowly by, and
| two years had gone since Mr.. Duck
| worth's death, when my story begins.
| Through these years Johnnie had
| trudged regularly to the little school
| house, which was a long ways off, ana
was standing finely in his lessons; and
his mother spent her time missing him
and expecting him, and sewing to sup
port him. Her neighbors used to ask
why she didn't come off the plain and
live among them, "more coy like,
where the trees grew, but both she and
Johnnie felt it a duty to stay whera
they could watch the long sweep of
railway. track. Johnnie's interest in
everything concerning the trains con-
tinued and grew, and the boys in the
neighborhood used to laugh and call
them his big pets.
| Johnnie was a serious boy, and his
| fathers death made him more so. He
did not seem to care to play with other
boys very much. His mother used to
Purge him to do SO, saying that he was
getting too old-fashioned, yet dreading
all the time that he would follow her
advice, for he was very companionable.
Johnnie was old-fashioned; but boy
would have been very old-fashioned
indeed not to want to celebrate the
Fourth of July royalty. For this special
Fourth that I am going to tell you
about, Mrs. Duckworth had promised
her son dozen packages of little fire.
crackers and five. packages of great big
ones; but Johnnie, although he did no!
say anything, was not satisfied. What
he wanted was a colored light, and he
wanted it fervently and persistently

A BIG FLAME OF RED ROSE

touch-the red light! Think of it-he
had taken it to bed with him!
The wind, as Johnnie's senses were
being stolen by the sandman, was in
creasing, and there was distinct smell
of rain in the air. The boy opened his
eyes and looked out of the window.
The wind seemed to be blowing the lit
tie hy-away sailboat of a moon over the
green sky at a dashing rate. Johnnie
thought the moon was boat am OF
making him think so-and as he closed
his eyes he wished he were in the boat
and wondered if he should be able to
hold the sheet of the golden sail in such
a gale. and then he fell fast asleep.
1t seemed to him that he had been
sailing for some time when there was a
stopping of all things, and he awoke
with a start. It was at that solemn
hour just before dawn. Johnnie crept
to the window to see if there was now
a promise of fair day. The storm had
ceased, but it must have been a furious
one, for the firm little bridge that Mr..
Duckworth had built over the river a
few steps from the house was broken.
Johnnie could plainly see the wreck in
the clear night. Just then he heard .
sound, sound as big as sigh, way,
way off. It was the Canadian express
whistling for switch at the junction.
The boy waited at the window to see it
go by. Suddenly thought flashed into
his mind and his heart stopped beating.
He slipped into his clothes in twink

JOhnn1e'S Imagination worked so hard
that he seemed to think his friend would
return standing, like the Goddess of
Liberty, on the freight car, holding
aloft a whole sunset and sunrise of
light. Silly Johnnie was so carried
away by his fancy that he received a
real shock when, on the day before the
Fourth, Jim tossed him only a small
package as the train slowly passed his
house, calling out gayly: "Open your
mouth and catch your light"
Johnnie ran indoors in q state of great
excitement and showed his treasure to
his mother, who rejoiced with him in his
happiness.
That night, just after he had blown
out his candle, Johnnie was looking out
of his window trying to decide whether
the morrow would be fine or not. There
was something in the air he did not
like, and he saw that storm was COM
ing. The moon was shining, but there
was a certain stiffness in the warm
wind. The little river was running more
| swiftly than usual.
However, Johnnie could not feel that
the Fourth would be unpleasant, and
| he began to think what he should do
with his red light, and the splendid idea
came to him to build a small raft and
set the light on it, and then send it
floating down the river. In fancy he
could see it going it's course, shining
brightly and lighting up the trees on
the opposite bank. And how surprised
the little fish would be to find the river
turning red! He wished he could see
the fishes with their mouths wide open
staring at his light-the little fish who
didn t know anything about the Fourth.
Johnnie did not need to be so patroniz-
ing in his feeling toward the fishes, for
he himself did not know much more
about the Fourth than that people
always shot off firecrackers on that
day. He was glad he had not gotten a
green light, for it wouldn't make much
contrast with the night, which is dark
green. Then, as the water looks green
anyway to the fishes Git must, for it
looks so to people on land), why, they
wouldn't be much surprised to see the
river simply Tightening would
think it was morning. But think of the
exquisite shock to each fishy heart to
be awakened by burst of rubiness
overhead! Johnnie's head was sinking
lower and lower on the window sill and
his thoughts were getting very fan
tastic, as you see. Rousing himself, he
slipped into his little bed and then put
his hand up under the cool pillow to

celebrated the Fourth by display of
fireworks in the evening, the like of
which Johnnie had never seen. The
farmer had imported them from far New
York. There were rockets and Roman
candles and scintillating wheels, such
as the little village way up in the north
of the state had never had on the coun-
ter ofits one store. And, wonder of won
ders! there were great lights, green and
red, that lit up acres and acres of the
farm. and even illuminated Johnnie's
and his mothers faces as they sat on the
little piazza of their home watching the
distant show. The next day johnnie
asked in the village what the great
lights were. and was told that they were
called Grecian lights. Immediately the
desire to possess so much glow seized
Johnnie, and he resolved to have one
himself the next year. His longing was
so deep that somehow he could not tell
anyone about il, not even his good
him. In the following spring he was
still as enthusiastic, and he began to
hoard the occasional pennies he made
by one and another little service to the
village folk. By the last week in June
he had saved 10 cents, and was ready Tor
his purchase. And now, how to secure
the glorious brslliancy?
1t had to be imported" Johnnie
asked a good and tried friend of his on
the freight train bound for New York to
get it for him. During the next week
