To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal;
The argument of another citizen in your
issue Of Feb. 8 seems to be on a par with
the usual inns of the railroad people.
The railroad business cannot be compared
with private business for the reason that
the railroads are public or common carriers

BLIND, YET SEEING.

the darkness and now he was to go to the
great doctors and receive his sight. His
father called to him to come to the door and
babe him stand in the shaft of sunlight.
'The fields are green he said, SNOW crowns
the mountains, and the streams run over
their rocky sides like lines of silver. You
shall see them all soon.''

light.

be able to gaze around and I know 1 shall
see once more beautiful than all the rest and

"And her hair is soft and like sunbeams'

LILLY CLARE.

Lilly Clare arose, putting on her wrap
ping that had seen better days. started
out IN the bleak wind to take her sewing
home.
Lilly's father had been merchant and
some heavy investment brought him to ruin.
and not wishing to face his creditors the
next morning he was found dead in his
chair, and her mother, broken hearted soon
followed. And Lilly was left alone to battle
with the world
Lilly, who was earnestly thinking as she
was crossing the street. did not heed the
span of gray horses that same tearing down
the street until too late. She was knocked
down, and the carriage wheels passed over
her.
A gentleman standing by stepped forward
and requested the crowd to give way; then
raising her in his arms he carried her into
a drug store on the corner
He laid her on sofa and withdrew while
Dr. Herbert, who was in the store, did all
in his power to bring her back to life At
last the doctors kind efforts were crowned
with success, for Lilly opened her large blue
eyes and, looking around, said family:
.'FWhere am I?''
Then it suddenly. flashed across her mind
and shudder passed through her frame.
The doctor, bending kindly over her, said:
Never mind, my child you are better
now"
Percy Monroe now stepped up to the doctor
and asked him if he though it would be safe
to move the young lady.
My mother lives few doors back and
perhaps it would be best to have her placed
in bed where she can have better atten-
ton than can be given her here"
ooh yes replied the doctor. II was just
going to ask the young lady where her
friends lived, so that we could have her
moved immediately
Lilly looked up with a pitiful smile say
ing: II have no friends nor any relations
living. I am entirely alone in the world but
my room is No. 10 Front Street, and my
no me- is T.illV C1are.o
DR.. Herbert then turned to Percy, saying,
81 guess will avail ourselves of your hos
pitality, Mr.. Monroe
Percy bowed and left the drug store and
retraced his steps to fine stone front house
a few doors from the store.
He met his mother at the dining-room
door and soon told his story, and Mrs. Mon
roe needed no urging, and with all her moth.

THE FLIGHT OF THE EVENING BREEZE

Ihe evening breeze at sunset stole
across the hills and far away
10 where green fields lay twilight wrapped,
IN garments fashioned grim and gray
1t stepped to stir mountain pink
with joyous laugh and lightly pressed,
one faded fern that looked with glee
Toward the night shades in the west
But of all deeds the soft breeze did
The sweetest was, when down it hid
Midst yellow curls that crowned the face,
And beauty of fair Ellens face.
The evening breeze went wandering DER
Broad meadows where it's silent kiss
Caused dropping buds to wake anew
And dream of twilight bliss;
1t crept between long forest halls;
1t stirred the blue birds tree-top nest.
Yet still unsatisfed it went
Upon fragrant woodland quest;
But better still the evening breeze
Left scented hedge and giant trees
To lightly press kiss and seek
The crimson of fair Ellen's cheek
The evening breeze found moss green dales,
And gave its breath unto the flags,
Or else sought coy farm yard ways
Where some tired hand at labor lags;
1t stole far up mid ghostly walls,
Half buried in their own decay,
And in the mouldy, cob-webbed halls,
Kept guard and held it's joyful sway.
But best of all while bloomed the rose
1t nestled where my lady goes,
And falling with the sunset light
Babe Ellen one last sweet goodnight

erly kindness proceeded at once to prepare
room for the young stranger, and when after
half hours delay they brought Lilly to
the door they found everything in readiness
to receive her.
The kind adv did not stop to think is she
wealthy and is she Of good birth? But only
this-that she is one of Gods creatures and
needs my aid.
When DR.. Herbert came down after max
ing the needful examination, he found Percy
waiting at the hall door, who wished to
know if his patient seriously hurt
mo; she is only bruised"
And for the next three weeks every at
tention and care was given to Lilly Clare,
so that she was able to sit up in large
easy chair and read little.
And very sweet and modest she looked
sitting there with her white wrapper trim
med in a delicate blue. At least, SO thought
the hostess, who was sitting at a window a
short distance from her.
And Lilly, looking up and meeting the
mild eyes of her kind friend fixed upon her,
blushed and said
cit has now been three weeks since you
received me under your roof. and 1 think
by tomorrow I will be able to return to my
room and resume my sewing, which quilted
so suddenly"
Never mind that now, Lilly. We will
speak about that some other time; for the
present you will remain where you are
Percy, who coming in at the door and
heard Lilly's remark and his mothers reply
said:
mo. Miss Clare, we cannot spare the sun
shine from our home, now that we have once
got it here"
And Lilly finding all hearts ready to re-
ceive her, remained.
A few days after when Lilly was sitting
at the window that opened into the garden,
she heard her two friends talking together.
"And so, Percy, you intend to get married,
do ycu?"
YES mother, if I can get the young ladys
consent"
Lilly waited to hear no more. That was
enough to let her know deep down in her
heart she loved Percy, and sinking down on
her knees she prayed for strength to battle
with that love, for was he not going to
marry another?
Then, hearing step coming she arose and
bathed her face, just a knock was heard
at the door, she found Mrs. Monroe there,
with message from her son, requesting her
to come down to the sitting room
And Lilly, walking as one in a trance,
went down.
Percy, standing at the window, looking
out, did not seem to notice her at first, and
Lilly hesitated and said in a low tone:
'Mr. Monroe, did you wish to see me?"
He turned, and reaching out both hands
said:
yes, Lilly, darling, I do wish to see you.
1 want to tell you how much love you and
ask you to be my wife,
I think Lillys answer must have been
very satisfactory, to-judges from zthe happy
faces that came into =the room. : : :
A short time after there was a quiet we'd
ding at home, and peace and content seem
to hang like a curtain about Lilly and her
husband, because they do not forget to do
good unto one of the least-(NeW York

They crossed the quaint wooden hridea and
turned down the shady path under the will
