GREATLY FRIGHTENED.
A Young Lady's Experience In n Rail-
WAY Car.


wa? Car.
A young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had a very
uncomfortable adventure. She reached
the station just as the train was start
ing, and had only time to jump into the
first compartment, where she dropped
upon seat. Not until the train was in
motion did she notice that she had a
single fellow-passenger, man, young,
well-dressed. but of a somewhat for
bidding aspect.
The young lady unfoldhd a newspa-
per and began to read. but as the first
station was passed she CHANGED to
glance again toward the other end of
the carriage. The man was there. but
his face was no longer serene. He ap-
peared to be greatly agitated, and was
gazing intently in the direction of the
young lady.
A sudden. overwhelming fear took
possession of her. All the wild stories
of railway murders to which she had
ever listened'rushed through her mind.
She felt herself doomed. She thought
of shrieking for help, but her tongue
refused to move.
The monster-for so he seemed to her
looked anxlouSly about him, appar-
emily to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his murderous design.
Then he advanced to the other end of
the carriage. came quite close TO his
panic-stricken fellow-passenger, and
put his right hand in his overcoat
pocket. Was he feeling for knife, or
revolver? Springing to her feet. the
frightened traveller faced him in de-
spair.
What do you mcnn?" she cried. half
fainting with fear.
He bent toward her. smiled grimly.
and said:
Excuse me, madam. I offer you ten
thousand apologies if l have alarmed
you. Such thing was farthest from
my thoughts, but the fact is, | have to
| alight al the next station. and since you
entered the train you have been sitting
on my hat"
The revulsion of feeling on the lady's
| part can be better Imagined than de-
scribed. Bushes took the place of
panic. Fortunately the hat was soft:

DUTY.

Thank God once more for Duty! when we lie
With some hot anguish on our brow.
Or walk in weakness meath some heavy
load.
Or fall by the wayside. while the world
Goes on with all its merry whirl of noise.
And never heeds that one is left behind:
And when our longing eyes scan spaces far.
And see through clouds the red sun moving
down
The western slopes of sky: or when we hear
The voices of the loiterers wandering by.
Who bear away the last faint hope OF
cheer
Then. then thank God for Duty! bending
Like dear. old-fashioned. forgotten
friend.
Who stopped at home while joy was Of our
guests.
But who. when youth and strength and
courage fair
Have fed and left us Swallowed by despair.
Comes softly in and by the bedside bends.
With touch so tender and voice so trut
That healing drops upon US as her gift.
Rustles and shines obtrusive on sick sight.
But softest gray and white. like garb of
nun.
And nun-like. too. she keeps in sight her
cross:
Her hands untrembiingly hold the bitter
That. hard to drink. yet quiekens the tired
pulse.
And lifts us up to go our way again.
Aye. more than this. soft-stepped along the
road
Hour after hour she journeys by our side.
Faithful with cup. with staff. with warning
word.
And though no traveller cheer the way
She makes the westward journey all aglow
With light. such as shall be al eventide,
On paths where shadows of her sweet cross
fall.

FANCY PINCUSHIoN.
Very Pretty One Can Be Made Out OF
Japanese Lawn Mt a Trihng
Expense.

Nothing helps to make the dresser
more attractive than two or three
pretty pin cushions scattered here ard
'here. Cushions for all kinds of pins.
To make one of these cushions pur-
chase a common uncovered one from
any fancy goods store, or better than
that, make a square bag of the de-
sired width and fill it with nice white
sand. Over your cushion sew a fancy
cover of japanese lawn figured in some
pretty design. Cut out triangular
shaped pieces of the lawn, line them
with paper cambria so that they wild
stand out, and sew them on each edge
of the cushion. You can edge the fan.

FASHIONS FOR BABY.
Considered in the Making OF
His Clothes.

Fashions in babies clothes seem
rather amusing, but there are changes
each new season in the manner and
details of the making. AS far as the
outlay of money goes, there is hardly
limit TO the amount it is possible to
spend, but daintiness is the chief fea-
ture to be consideration the par
ents' circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six TO ten long dresses COM
pose the usual outfit, some of them
simply made, some deliberately
trimmed. It is now the fashion to
change the little ones from long to
short clothes at as early an age as
four months. French nainsook is the
favorite material for the finer dresses
Just now the inevitable yoke in the
baby's gown is cut square, not quite
extending over to the arm size, and
edged with a frill and beading. For
the filling in of the yoke there are
two pretty ways, both equally popu-
lar. One is rows of hemstitched tucks,
running from the neck downward, the
other alternate rows of lace and en-
broidery insertions, the embroideries
being often almost as fine and as trans-
parent as the lace.
a pretty bib has q scalloped upper
edge of shaped silk, trimmed on both
upper and lower edges by a full deep
ruffie of silk lace. The upper part is
hand embroidered, and between the
outer and inner bib is placed a tuftef
silk heart-shaped pad of silk. Another
is made from a fine linen hemstitched
handkerchief, folded diagonally-ths
upper point is cut out V shape and
embro:dered-and both edges lace
trimmed.
Night gowns are made from fine fan
mel or outing and have a drawing
string around the neck. Petticoats
are of fine, flannel and button on each
shoulder by two tiny buttons instead
of down the back.
Little caps of lawn show much shir-
ring and cording, and some. especially
those of embroidered muslin. have a
lining of pale shade of thin silk.
The most fashionable thing in ba-
bies' shoes and stockings, for wear
with the first short dresses, are gray
suede shoes and stockings matching
exactly in color.
Pretty coats of bedford cord have
deep circular ruffles trimmed with
guipure lace edging. In shorter coats,
pretty model in pique has very deep.
rounding collar trimmed entirely with
rows of Hamburg edging alternated
by rows of satin ribbon.
A design in bedford cord short
coat has three deep circular capes,
each one edged with guipure lace.
For the basket covering, sheer white
lawn over pink or blue is the latest,
the point d'esprit being also used. The
ruffie is trimmed with lace and rows
of baby ribbon and the Jennings and
seams are finished by a narrow lace
beading through which is run ribbon

heard a gunshot a great way off, and
supposed them TO be hunting. A coun-
ell was held, and it was decided that we
must desert them on the island-to the
huge glee, l must say. of Ben Gum.
and with the strong approval of Gray.
We left good stock of powder and
shot, the bulk of the salt goat, a few
medicines and some other necessaries,
tools, clothing, a spare sail, a fathom or
two of rope. and. by the particular de-
sire of the doctor, handsome present
of tobacco.
That was about our last doing on the
island. Before that we had got the
treasure slowed. and had shipped
enough water and the remainder of the
goat meat, in case of any distress; and
at last. one fine morning. we weighed
anchor. which was about all that we
could manage. and stood out of North
inlet. the same colors flying that the
captain had flown and fought under at
the palisade.
The three fellows must have been
watching us closer than we thought for.
as we soon had proved. For, coming
through the narrows. we had to lie
very near the southern point. and
together on spit of sand. with their
arms raised in supplication. 1t went
to all our hearts, think to leave them
in that wretched state; but we could
not risk another mutiny; and to take
them home for the gibbet would have
been a cruel sort of kindness. The
doctor hailed them and told them of
the stores we had left. and where they

for Gods sake. to be merciful, and not
leave them to die in such a place.
At last, seeing the ship still bore on
her course. and was now swiftly draw
ing out of earshot. one of them-I know
not which it was-leaped to his feet
with hoarse cry. whipped his musket
to his shoulder and sent a shot whis-
Ting over Silver's head and through the
mainsail.
After that we kept under cover of
the bulwarks. and when next looked
out they disappeared from the spit,
and the spit itself had almost melted
out of sight in the glowing distance.
That was. at least, the end of that: and
before noon. to my inexpressible joy.
the highest rock of Treasure Island had
sunk into the blue round of sea.
We were SO short of men that every
one on board had to bear hand-only
the captain lying on a mattress in the
stern and giving his orders; for, though
/ greatly recovered. he was still in want
of quiet. We laid her head for the
nearest port in Spanish America. for
we could not risk the voyage home
without fresh hands; and. as it was.
what with battling winds and a couple
of fresh gales. we were all worn out
before we reached it.

Tells No FIatferinE Tale.

No doubt the human race would con-
slider it little short of universal trag-
edy If there were no looking glasses.
Yet. in spite of their widespread use,
it is an astonishing fact that none of us
have ever seen ourselves as others see
US. In the first place. the reflection
in the mirror does not portray our like
ness with any attempt at accuracy
The hair is wrong in tone; the eyes are
not correct in color. and our COM
plexions are hopelessly libeled by this
specious household deceiver. 1t is
certain that if the looking glasses spoke
the truth the sale of various complexion
washes would decrease to half. for any
fair skin looks gray and paIlid in the
glass. and numbers of women who
have splendid compleXions ruin them
by trying to improve them because
they look bad in the mirror You NAV
be certain that, however plain your
face seems. it is by no means so plain
as it appears in the telltale mirror.
Secondly, you cannot assume your
natural expression while peerine in
the looking glass. The eye must be in
certain position before you can see
at all, and the eye, SO far as expression
is concerned, governs the face. The
consequence is that you can see only
one of your expressions in the glass.
and that expression is one of attentive
examination. All the other express
