placed Ruth on the platform on the first car and turned for the other child. Before he could pick her up the train was moving too fast for him to board it. Little Ruth was sitting on the front platform. where she man aged to remain for about three miles, holding her two small bundles and an umbrella.
 She raised her umbrella to prevent her hat from blowing away, and the strong current of air under the um- brella carried it. with the child cling. ing to 1t, off the train. She landed in sand cut, uninjured. The fireman, who had happened To be looking back, saw some person leave the train. The train was stopped and was run back until the child was met.

HER HUSBANDS REVENGE.
Made a Startling Proposition, But There Was Method in His
 Madness.

He was determined. It was a des- perate step, but his mind was made up, relates the New York Press.
 T shall stay at home to-day and att tend to the household affairs" he said.
 Naturally she was startled. What shall do?" she asked.
 You may go down to the of1ee." he replied, 'and hold down my desk for a day. You have told me so much about my own business at various times that there can be no doubt as to your abil- ity to do it."
 "But you.-what do you know about household matters?" she persisted
 Everything" he replied promptly. 'You don't think that know anything about them, while you have all the de- tails of my business at your tongues end, but l want to convince you that the reverse is true. You go to the office, open my desk and go to work. If you are in doubt about anything. one of the clerks will explain it to you, but, of course, you won't need any help"
 She felt that he was sarcastic, but she was convinced that she could do his work better than he could hers, anyway. So she started.
 He laughed softly to himself after she had gone, and then went to the window and looked anxiously up and down the street
 'It seems hardly possible that can fail now" he said to himself. Some time during the day the chance surely will come to me-
 Then he rang for the cook and told her to order whatever she wished for lunch and dinner, and not to bother him with any questions about it.
 'But if peddIer of any description calls" he added, 'be sure to let me know. I want to see him."
 Then he settled himself by window with a morning paper and waited, ever and anon an1iously glancing out of the window. He grew nervous as the day wore on, but shortly after lunch the glad summons came The cook in- formed him that there was a peddler at the back door.
 What kind of pedd1er?" he asked.
 "One of the kind that wants to trade all sorts of things for old clothes, but will pay cash for them if he has to-" was the reply.
 Bring him in''
 They were closeted together for near ly an hour, after which the peddler went away with a large bundle, while the man remained and chuckled and laughed until it seemed as if he had gone crazy.
 'Revenged at last!" he cried aloud. 'HThe tables are turned and now she will know how it seems herself"
 For he had traded off two of her old gowns for two jars of jam and po- tato parer, even as she had been in the habit of trading off anything in the line of masculine apparel that he neglected to wear for a week.

 Hickerson said nothing, but went up- stairs and dived into the wardrobe. In the darkest corner his hand touched something and To! out came the flashy garments.
