1t is easy to deliver grain, such as
wheat, rye, oats, barley, succotash
and corn, all level ground, or slight

or save horse flesh; don't cross
railroad tracks; don't go down

except for moment when the colonel
passed.
But fully 60 seconds before any other
man saw anything, Tim had seen every
thing. It was then that the pipe came
out of his mouth. 1t covered the side
walk with splinters.
"God Almighty" groaned Tim. ''The
colonel's baby!'
The long, lean arms of the gates had
dropped, and stretched themselves
nightly across the street. A grown
person could not pass their strong
barricade unless by deliberately stoop-
ing under, and so evading it; but to
the baby girl there was no barricade
at all. The arms of the gate escaped
the topmost rosebud on her rose-white,
rose-pink hat by several inches. And
the child-something scornfu1 Of the
nurse, something disdainful of the
grocer's boy-had continued her walk
in a pretty, solitary dignity which
comes at times on little maids like her.
When Tins pipe came out of his
mouth the colonel's Rose had stepped
under the arms of the railway gate.
And the train
Afterward, the gate tender swore
that the train was 40 feet away. But
what are 40 feet? And the baby girl
suddenly seeing the monster, bewild-
cred by the roar and smoke and steam
confused by the horror that she could
not understand, put up her lips and
began to cry, and stood still upon the
| track.
It was then that man 1eaped the
gate and dashed into the throat OF
death with cry whose joyousness
| rings to this day in the ears of every
soul who heard it. AS he hurled him
self upon the child, his old, faded felt
hat fell off, and the May sunlight
brought out the gold in the brown OF
his curly hair.
He flung the baby girl high into the
| air. A dozen arms were outstretcheo
to catch her. She came down against
somebody's neck without a bruise

No Room for Exaggcration.

There are limits to exaggeration.
This is shown in the narration of the
awful details of the catastrophe in
the Windward islands. The swift
horror of the event battles descrip-
ton. Out of the sky an instant,
fund, fiery death dropped down on
sea and land. That was the end.
Nothing remained an instant later
but swelter of bead bodies Tester
ing in the heat or furnishing food
for sharks in the adjacent waters.

he was, and what pleasant smile he
had-this hero who had lived among
them in disguise, unregarded and neg
lected for so long.
AS they bore him down the colonel's
granite steps and out into the street.
the Grand Army veterans sang in their
broken voices:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord
A chorus of trained singers had start
ed the battle hymn, as the colonel
asked; but when the veterans took
it up every other voice was hushed-
nobody else could sing-and the vet
Grams finished the hymn alone.
Then the beating, breaking heart of
the military music throbbed in and
claimed it's own.
Nobody's Tim was buried as if he
had been the general. Blotted out in
flowers, he seemed to have no grave.
The chaplain read the service as if the
Christian faith wished she could have
owned the hero. The flag folded him
as if it were proud of him. But the
colonel, with barred head, stood little
apart. Lifting his eyes, as
if he perceived what no 9TH
er did, the commanding Off
Ger of the old regiment saluted the
unseen. spirit of the dead private, as a
soldier salutes his superior. Then the
drum of the veterans sounded taps for
Tim, and three volleys rang across
his grave.
Now, after taps, an unexpected thing
occurred. Some one led up the little
girl, all in white, and her arms were
heaped with pink roses. These she put
| delicately. one by one, upon the pyre
of blossoms under which Everybody
Tim was laid away. Rosamond kissed
| the roses before she put them down
it was her own idea. No one spoke or
| stirred while she did this, and after.
ward no one added a flower.
| Then the child (this, too. was her
own idea) quite naturally kne1t down
upon the flowers and shut her eyes and
said aloud and distinctly, so that all
the people heard her:
Now lay me down to sleep.
Ipway We Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before wake up-Amen.
"Well,' said one of the Grand Army
men, with the back of his hand at his
| eyes, 81 guess she's with it,
But the colonel, her father, caught
her to his heart and hid his face upor
her soft hair. He did not speak. The
veterans saluted and turned away

body else asked:
ssWhat shall we do with him?'' For
Nobody's Tim, you remember, had
neither wife nor child, neither Gown
folks nor home.
Then, out of the silent crowd which
had thickened in the square, sudden
voices rose:
.'I'll take him to my house"
"And Il -
'I will" = saUssT
mo! We will
mo, let us"
And the voices strove with one an
other, till it seemed as if all Sunshine
were competing to be ssown folks" to
Tim.
For, in the flashing of noble deed,
Nobody's Tim had become Every body s
Tim, and the whole town pressed to do
him honor.
Now, at this moment, the silver trail
of a distant steam carriage could be
seen melting along the smooth road.
Hold on!" said the cab driver.
CHATS the colonel. He's got some.
thing to say about this
Memorial day dawned clear, hot and
shining, as it almost always is. No
one in Sunshine went to the baseball
games or cared for the bicycle races
on the sacred national festival of that
year; but all Sunshine followed the
pathetic remnant of the Grand Army
when the gray-haired group formed
to escort their homeless, dead comrade
from the colonel's home.
No one remembered on that morning
that Tim used to drink; that he did
not work; that he had neither place
nor name, nor character among his
neighbors. Everyone remembered
rather how kind he was, and how gen
erous of impulse, what good company

of his middle life and early age-his
only one. He came to bid her good-by
that day before he went out on the
automobile with her mother. He fold
ed the little girls arms about his neck
and laid his dark cheek to hers, and
kissed her more softly than her mother
did, and not so many times but each
kiss seemed to count for more, for
some reason.
Rose shall ride with papa next
time,' he said, to comfort her. "And
Jane will be careful-very careful,
Jane" added the colonel, with his mil
itary M nner. Remember all that we
have told you about the lake, and the
cars, and the crossings"
''And big dogs interrupted the
child's mother.
"And the electric cars" added the
father.
"And cows" suggested the mother.
"And if you should meet a fire en-
CINE" finished the father.
They did not meet a fire engine. Jane
held the child's hand tight as they
passed the lake. They made the cross
ings without any trouble. There were
no COWS. And the only big dog they met
was particular friend and neighbor
of Roses, who offered to escort her
and take care of her. But Jane told
him it was against her orders; so he
turned away and stayed at home.
In the square-so fate had willed it
they met the only danger against
which the nurse had not been warned.
This was the grocer's boy. He was

The little king of Spain is indeed
a pathetic figure. Feeble in body
descended from an unhappy royal
line, he is called to preside over a
decadent kingdom at the tender age
when other boys are blessed with

it seems that the gray-haired digni-

this frail youth. Spain has long since

powerful ruler. Its royalty has be.
