She was taken to the locomotive and

officer in the employ of the railroad

Excited from her terrible expert

gave an account of her trip.
She said her home was near Allen
town and that her name was Name
Steel. She had been to New York
and had tired Of the big city. Long
ing to get back home and not having
money to pay her fare, she decided
to steal ride on a freight train, as
she had often read of men and boys
doing. Walking to Newark, she
climbed on a freight car. She barely
had time to tie her hat fast to the
short sacque she wore when the train
began to move. In moment or two
it was travelling at high rate of
speed. The wind chilled her and
nearly swept her from her perch, but
she clung to the footboard.
After having learned the story the
railroad officials withdrew the charge
against her, and she received ticket

A Startling Discovery.

The telegram which Ted Burritt
sent to his sister was as follows:
Have found my father. Am re-
naming until after the inquest. Break
the news gently"
Having disposed Of this duty, It
occurred to him that he would be the
better for wash and a meal. There
was an unassuming little inn not far
from where he stood. It looked clean
and inviting to the weary young fell
low, and thither he bent his steps
only to find that the modest little
hostelry was already besieged by
those whose errand had been the same
as his own. He was told by the land
lord himself, almost before he had
time to frame the inquiry, that they
we're full up to the hay-loft; but It
was Just poss!b.e that he might End

Arst," he said to himself.
In the meantime, those who had
been to view the body in the vestry re-
turned. 1t was evident from their
manner, and the short time they had
been absent, that no identification
had taken place.
Ted Burritt, with his heart beating
wildly now, turned In the same direc-
ton. On the extemporized bier a body
day, the lower limbs of which were
covered with cloth, leaving the face
and the upper part of the body ex-
posed to view. Ted Burritt saw that
1t was the face of man of about
fifty years of age, with features that
must have been handsome in their day
but which In death wore an expression
of agonized expectancy-the ex-
preston of one who recognized the
dull horror of the fate that awaited
him.
1t was the face Of his own father!

HOW TO MANAGE A WIFE.
Some Suggestions Which Are Said to
Be of Value.

Some Suggestions Which Are Said to
Be Of Value.
A great many methods have been
suggested as to the best way to man
age a husband, but up to date no one
has thought It best to guide the poor
husband. The following will there
fore be found the best way to man
age a wife. 1t has never been known
to fail.
Never contradict her. You are right
Of course nine times out of ten, and
she knows 1t, but to tell her so makes
her always unmanageable.
Never oppose her. When she sug-
gests that in the absence Of the cook
you get up and light the fire do so at
once, willingly and cheerfully. II she
wishes you to walk the floor with the
baby obey with alacrlty.
Never deny her. Possibly she will
exceed her allowance, but this is al
ways your fault, because you are not
man enough to support her.
Never be cross. When you come
home at night, having failed once or
twice during the day, or been insulted
by total stranger, or with a large,
powerful pain in your stomach, laugh
1t of, and conceal your real feelings.
Never tell her the truth. When
she asks how you like her new hat,
swear that 1t is the greatest thing
for the money you ever saw. When
she shows you her new gown, be lost
in admiration. When she is cross and
irritable, tell her she is an angel.
Never disagree with her. when
she suggests that you have a cold and
need hot mustard plaster, grin and
bear It. When she tells you she needs
change, tell her you are glad she
mentioned It.
Never interrupt her.
This is the only way to manage a
wife.-Tom Mason In New Fork Her

"Yes"-as the other made a sudden
step toward hlm-"he was in the
fourth carriage from the engine, a
first class carriage it was, and he was
the only occupant. This carriage was
thought to be empty, as no cries were
heard, and it was generally believed
that whatever passengers 1t might
have contained had made their escape
before the flames reached 1t. OF
course, the supposition is that he was
disabled, perhaps killed outright, by
the effects of the collision; for the car
riage was much damaged, and we had
some considerable difficulty in extri-
eating him"
The young man nodded his head
and an expression of relief spread
itself over his countenance.
II should like to think that" he said.
1T would be a great alienation If
could believe he persisted like that,
instead Of enduring the agony Of that
other hideous DEATH" and, as he spoke
he shuddered and set his teeth to-

ample of the Self.Made Man.

Mayor Collins is a fine example Of
the foreign-born boy, who, beginning
at some lowly form of labor by native
talent and earnest effort rises to the
highest station Of honor and respon-
sibility in his home city. First a
breaker boy in the coal mines, then an
upholsterer by trade, Mayor Collins
managed to educate and fit himself
for the practice of law. He was sent
to congress for several successive
terms and was really the father of the
bankruptcy law. During President
Cleveland's administration he served
as consul general at London. Al
though a stanch Democrat, many re-
publicans in advance of the election
had announced their purpose to sup
port and vote for him for a second
term as mayor because of the admir-.
able record he had made in that office,
and Boston is not city where partl-
sanship runs low.
