caused great activity in coal lands.
Nothing Is known concerning the ex-

NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT.
The Haunting Fear of a Fair Maids
Mother Regarding Young
Daniel Webster.

pumpkin pie and professors plen-
ty; wheat and poetry good deal
blasted; girls and gingerbread as
sweet as ever" wrote Daniel Webster
gaily in one of his youthful letters to
a friend, says Youths Companion.
Indeed, it is well known that he was
by no means a serious or insusceptible
youth, however awe-inspiring in Lis
maturity, for in his early writings
law, finance and politics are diversi-
fed by a series of charming Nabbys,
Fannys and Sallies, upon whose ways
and witcheries he eXpatiated or jest
ed in tickle succession to his young
correspondents.
He seems also to have been popular
with the young ladies themselves and
their mammas; but tradition exists
of one sharp old lady, the aunt of
very pretty girl to whom young Daniel
had paid some attention, who did not
at all approve of him. Her objection
has been handed down among her de-
scendents as a cherished family anec-
dote.
"If that young Webster ever turns
out to be all he looks like, he will be
somebody very much greater than it's
likely he is" she was wont to say;
"but it our Lyddy should marry him in
hopes, and he just stayed like other
folks, why, it wouldn't be fair to blame
the boy, ! suppose, but he'd be a dis
appointments; yes, he certainly would
be a disapp'intment!"
The fair Lydia, however, was only
one of many transient fascinators.
She remained heart-whole and unam-
bilious, and suffered no "disapp'int-
ment'-not even in the fact that Dan
iel Webster never gave her the oppor-
tunity to refuse MIN.

cratic dragon should be held as a
sacred trust; it should be devoted
scrupulously tc the cause of the OPP
pressed. Just how it was to be ap-
piled he had not yet determined, but
that could be decided later.
Meanwhile it was very evident that
the dragon did not intend to accept
defeat without struggle, and Girls
void set his wits at work upon the
problem of escape.
Its little queer that I hadn't
thought of that part of it," he
mused. II suppose the other fellow,
the real robber, would have figured
himself safely out of it-or would
have thought he had-before he
made a move. AS l didn't, I've got
to do it now, and there isn't much
time to throw away. Let me see"

lie dallied with the second cup of
coffee and outlined a plan, basng
it upon a further cross-questioning
of the waiter. The man had been to
the door again, and by this time the
street excitement had subsidized suf-
ticiently to approach the truth. The
rumor of an armed gang guarding
the bank doors had been canard.
There had been but one man, and
the street gossips were beginning to
describe him with discomforting ac-
curacy.
Griswold paid his score and went
out with studied nonchalence. He
reasoned that, Notwithstanding the
growing accuracy of the street re-
port, he was in no immediate dan
ger so long as he remained in the
immediate vicinity of the bank. 1t
was safe to assume that this was
one of the things that the journey
man bank robber would not do. But
it was also evident that he must
speedily lose his identity if he hoped
to escape; and that the lost identity
must leave no trace behind it.

When the young woman went her
way the president stepped to the win
dow and presented the check. Up to
that instant he had clung desperately
to the hope that some fortunate hap
pening would forestall the catastro-
phe; now he was determined to give
the teller warning signal, come what
might. But on the pinnacle of resolu-
tion the robber came closer, and An
drew Galbraith felt the pressure of the
pistol muzzle against his side-nay,
more; he fancied he could feel the
cold chill of the metal strike through
and through him.
Give me currency for that, John
son." he said, with what composure
there was in him.
The teller glanced at the check and
then at his superior, not too in
quisitively, since it was not his duty
to question the presidents order.
"How will you have it?" he asked;
and it was the younger man who an
swered.
"Three hundred in fives, tens and
twenties, loose, if you please. The
remainder in the largest denomina-
tions put up in a package"
1t was done as he directed, and he
followed the telIer's count as
methodically as if it had been the
most commonplace of business
transactions. When the money was
handed him he stuffed the smaller
bills carelessly into his pocket, put
the package containing the ninety
nine thousand odd dollars under his
arm, nodded to the president, backed
away to the door and vanished.
Then it was that Andrew Galbraith
suddenly found speech, opening his
mouth and pouring forth a torrent
of frenzied incoherence which pres
emily got itself translated into hue
and cry; and New Orleans, the unim-
petuous, had it's sensation ready
made.

scarce. The ordinary woman specula-
tor and trader makes an awful fuss
when she makes a losing investment.
Sometimes the spectacle is ludicrous
in the extreme, but more frequently
it is sad one. Many women with
the gaming instinct, who, besides seek
ing the excitement attendant upon the
speculation, hope to get wealthy in a
few days, go into it when the money
they stake is needed for the necessaries
of life for themselves and their fam
lilies. The result of the failure in the
latter instance is pitiable. To the
broker it is nerve-racking.

GRANDMA'S RIDE TO SCHOOL.

Still in memory's cuttered garret hangs a
painting, rich and rare,
OF a romping lad and lassie, and an old
gray, gentle mare,
That recalls the scenes of childhood-sum-
mer mornings soft and cool
And the unforgotten pleasure when your
grandma went to school,
Life another song was singing, both our
hearts were blithe and gay;
And whenever, bright and early. would
call for her, she'd say
With smile of satisfaction: "Bill, 1 m
sure you're very kind
Then away we'd canter slowly-she in front
and l behind
Over meadows clover-custered, down the
long, leaf-laden lane,
On the ancient county turnpike, on the hot
and dusty plain,
Through the midway pool where, somehow,
she'd seem overcome with fright,
And I'd tell her not to worry, but to grab
and hold me tight!'
How our voices rang with gladness, how
our laughter Knocked the birds,
How the love that lit our fancies seemed too
deep for empty words!
How the other boys, in envy. lured me on to
break each rule,
Just to know the trancing joy felt when
grandma went TO school!
FATHER Time, turn back your pages! change
these silver locks to gold!
Let me live once more the love-life of those
dear. dead days of old-
Not these dim, delusive day-dreams-
dreams too beautiful to last,
When the heart is painting pictures of the
pleasures that have passed
Just to see her, trim and dainty, in her lit
tie gingham gown,
Just to hold her hand in mine, as then, and
read her eyes of brown,
Just to hear her say she loved me- and to
answer her caress
With something less than Heaven, per-
haps. but something more than yes"
How that old emotion haunts me! How l
thrill at thought of 1t!
How l feel youthful flutter, IS her fairy
features fit
Through the softly swaying shadows.
where the locust blossoms wave,
Through the moonlight of my memory
just a shadow from the grave!
All! the old gray mare is waiting and the
morning sun is high.
And the schoolhouse bell IS ringing, from
the belfTy in the sky.
And l see the same old turnpike, meadow,
plain, and midway pool
AS my fancy calls her back from Heaven
to ride with me to school.
