Nothing gained b. hurry or worry.
( dear said he sWestly. and finished tie
! article. Then he looked at his watch and
/ saw that he should not be able 10 reach
I the station by walking, but would have
! to take trolley.
"Blashfield called he to his eldest
/ son. who was wrapped Up IN boys book
1 IN the parlor, hurry out 20 the corner
/ ana watch for the trolley. I'll be along
| in time for il, but you hail it,
Blashfield suddenly threw down his
/ book, but not until the even tones of his
father had &C 0e down the stairs a sec
ond time. He rose lansuidly TO his feet
and went gTumblins out TO the han closet
! for his coat and hat.
Come. Blashfjeld. get move on YOU.
l cant afford TO miss that trolley"
1t was curious to see how uneasy Mrs
Wainwright was. She had joined me I'm
the parlOT and she could settle down ~
nothing. She picked up and dropped hatf
a dozen books and magazines. and kept
saving. I'm so afraid he'll miss that
train,
Wainwright was going into View York
to attend the New England dinner. and /
had come out TO see that no thieves broke
in and stole during hts absence.
The trolley passes right by VAIN
wright's door and he knows every motor
man and conductor. and they hold cars a
little longer in Ferncale than they 90 in
the metropolitan district
Finally ne came slowly down the stairs
ia Immaculate evening clothes. I no.
tiCed then Tor the first time how much
Wainwright had gained in weight since
he took Up his new principles. I glanced
from him to his wife and was SURPRISED
TO note that she had fallen of I'm weight
As he entered the parlOr we heard the
gong Of the trolley At the next corner.
'Good-oy- Hurry, Johns or you'll surely
miss It "
Where's nv nat. Roseer said he i'm
perturbably. and Mrs. Wainwright liter
ally scrambled around the room in
frantic search for It, Fortunately IL was
in plain sight in the fourth corner she
visited. She handed It TO him and he
stopped and kissed her Hurry up.
pap9.' we heard Blashfield yell from out
side, and Mr.. Wainwright fastened his
steps little, but not much.
TN go down to the STATEN with you"
said L, and entered the forward end as
he came in at the rear door OF the car
y fat and choleric old man was saving
TO everybody; Blamed outrage, holding
car full of people for anybody. Don't
care If it was the president himself. This
road is run for the public and not for in
diYiduals.'
He was so red and puffy that half
expected him 70 blow up Wainwright
said to me, under his breath What an
exhibition Of himself that man is maxi
ing. l suppose I was like that; IN fact
L know L was A Ike that before L Joined
the Don't Worry club.
The car had waited fun minute for
Wainwright and by so doing lost the
right Of way and had 70 wait at the next
switch for nearly five minutes. Several
of the passengers were going as far as
the station and from their conversation
l found out that they were in danger Of
missing the up-cOuntry train owing 20
the delay Some gTumbled internally and
expressed It only in their looks: some
were explosive like our fat friend. VAIN
wright was the only one who took the de-
lay calmly, and as his train would not
leave until five minutes after the other
one perhaps he had d better reason for
being calm.
Just as we reached the station the up
train pulled out. Three of the passen-
gers ran for il and caught it, but the
apoplectic gentleman could not run and
he vented his spleen on Wainwright
you've made me miss my train said
he Now I've got to wait half an hour
in this COMPOUNDED station for the next
one"
I'm very sorry that you've missed
your train" said Wainwright ignoring
the others impreCation, but let me tell
you, sir, that worrying won't do q bit of
good. Your train has gone and wild
horses could not drag it back. Be calm.
Do as have done. JOiuthe Don't Worry
club.
Why, were you trying for that traln?"
said the old man, almost gleefully.
NO, sir; mere is my train coming now,
SAID Wainwright, going up over the
bridge to take the down train.
" Ell. You ana your con Z Worry club
be ~ You fellows who don't worry
are the cause of more worry 20 others
than any other class Of men. Your wife
must lead a dogs life"
All this was rOared after Wainwright,
who did not deign TO make a reply
The down train came 20 a standstiIl.
An aboard shouted the conductor
I'm sorry I've got 10 go away tonight (
but III see you at breakfast. Take good
care of the house. And now that you've
seen the reform not worrying has worked (
in me. r.
viii you please get aboard2" said the /
conductor, tapping Wainwright on the I
shoulder. I'm behind and already Train (
can't stop for conversations
Now this was understandable on the 4
part of the conductor Anyone could see /
with half an eye that he did not belong
to the Don't Worry club, for as long as Z
| could see he was talking eXcitedly and !
gestfculating to a brakeman, while VAIN
wright had pulled out his evening paper )
and was snugly ensconced in a whole 4
seat
But I'm doubtful whether I'll become a i
member myself just yet.
