Pretty Picture Of Congeniality Be-

Broadway was very interesting to
the tenderfoot from the west. but she
hadn't expected to find such demon
strative new friend there as she ran
across recently. On one Of the busiest
corners, where the crossing is as dan
gerous and as difficult as any noun
tain pass was in the old days. she
was walking into the jaws of death
with the fearlessness and confidence Of
ignorance. She was snatched almost
impatiently from the passing dangers
by mounted policeman. who. by the
way, wasn't mounted at the time. His
horse. a fine, spirited specimen Of the
equine race, was patiently standing at
the corner by the curb, watching the
passing throng and his master. Said
derfoot to the sidewalk out of harms
way. She bumped into the horse.
Both were surprised, and both begged
pardon in their own ways. The girl
said, rapturously:
"Oh, you beauty"
The horse whinnied softly, as II she
were an old and beloved friend, rub
bing his nose against her sleeve. Then
the girl started across the street once
more. When she was half way over
she felt light touch on her shoulder
and at the same time heard several
men laughing. In surprise, she looked
to see what could be happening. There
stood the policeman's beautiful steed.
looking pleadingly at her. The next
instant she had that horses head in
her arms and her face against his
glossy head, tears Of pleasure in her
eyes. Around this odd pair flowed the
stream of trafic, for this was a busy
center, but many people stopped to
see the strange sight. The next In
slant the gruff oficer had brusquely
called to the horse, and when the
horse failed to come to his call he
quite rudely grasped the rein and
took the horse away from the tablsau.

| for when the judge took his seat on
the morning of the fourth day Betsy
failed to show up. The Judge issued
bench warrant for her. and she was
found at the home OF n moonshiner not
far from the little town. brought back
and tried, and the judge decided to
make an example Of the bold young
creature by sending her to Jail at CO.
lumbrs for four months.

The moonshiners were simply par
alyzed by the sentence, for some of
them thought that Betsy bore n
charmed life, so to speak, and one OF
them, in an outburst of admiration.

would come clar." and that mo jedge

But Betsy had not quite reached the
limit OF her resources. The Jail at
Columbus is an old-fashioned barn of
structure, three stories high and of
brick. and is generally slimly tenant
ed. II happened that when Betsy
first entered its walls man was there
on his way to the penitentiary to serve
12 months for the practice of the gen.
tie art of manslaughter. he having in
some kind of mix-up slain a fellow
mountaineer with knife, and "gittin'
off light" as the other side OF the
case rut it. Betsy was put on the
second floor OF the jail. this prisoner
whose name ls Chalmers, being on the
floor above. A rather rude flight OF
steps leads from the second to the
third floors. through well-locked
trap-door of wood.
How She Broke Jail.
The weather was cool, and there was
fire in Betsys room. She did not
feel equal to the task of getting out
of jail unaided, SO she sought the COM
panlonship of Chalmers. They talked
to each other, commonplace while the
taller was anywhere within hearing,
but business when he was out OF the
way, the business being the best means
of getting out. Betsy was the more
resourceful OF the two, and so, taking
| n "chunk of fire." she went up the
stairway ami set fire to the trap-door,
Chalmers descended. He and Betsy,
after passing the compliments OF the
day. for they were acquainted. decided
on the mode OF action, and then Chal-
mers fell to work to make hole
through the side Of the jail, while
betsy made rope out Of blankets and
bedding, and arranged such goods and
chattels as she had with her in shape
for quick removal. Chalmers. with
true ea!iantry, decided that 1t was best
for him to go through the hole first,
thus testing the latter, and. incident-
slly. the rope below. Out he got and
fitted away.

the clerk. 1t was the name of the very
man TO whom my uncle's letter was ad-
dressed and. who had promised me a
situation.
Monday night.-This has been a day
of wonders. The merchant expected me
and was saying kind words when
presented my uncle's letter. Then he
gave me a welcome, indeed. But he
soon came to business and advised me
to begin at the bottom. 1 was to reach
the store every morning at half past 6,

when bright young man entered and
was introduced to him-George Lake,
a rising star in the dry goods business.
He shook hands like brother and
said he would like to show ne some

hours. This pleased my employer, who
said Capital! and gave me the day off.
He said it was important for me to
get acquainted with the geography of
the town and know something of the
various business districts. He asked
Mr.. Lake as a favor to spend the rest
of the day in giving me my first lesson.

of business, yet is an enthusiast. He
not only believes, that Central Park
will soon have paved streets and dwell

a new city which his vision sees grow
ing beyond It. Mr.. Green must have
the faith and eye of prophet Like
Peter Cooper. he sees bridges over the
rivers and. even more, he sees New York
and Brooklyn consolidated and the
country along the Harlem built UP and
made a part of the metropolis.
This seems but a dream Only a
week ago George Lake and 1 spent
Saturday and Sunday picnicking up and
down the Harlem River. 1t is simply
winding, sprawling country stream
and Harlem is but a country hamlet
with boats and places for picnics. For
the most part the river is a clear. deep
stream with good fishing, miles Of
meadows and but few landing places
along the business water front to de-
stroy the pastoral character of the
stream. The only city traffic is that
crossing the rickety bridge on Third
avenue. It's a half days journey to
Harlem and the best way is to go by an
East River boat.

men | was amazed at my insignificance
and ignorance. Never was I so op-
pressed. never did 1 feel so much the
need of learning.
Peter Cooper actually believes thai
most good things will come in time-I
mean great things. He believes that
railways will ultimately capture and
control the commerce of the country;
that the city OF New York is to rival
London, extending even beyond the ex-
treme limits of the proposed Central
Park; that Cyrus Fields Atlantic cable
will prove q practical success. IL not

other cables like 1t will be laid and
operated; that steamships will super
sede sailing vessels for carrying freight
as well as passengers; Peter Cooper
even believes that some day iron and
steel bridges will span the rivers
uniting New York with Brooklyn and
the Jersey shore. This last is too
much for me to believe possible.
Mr.. Cooper goes so far as to say
that English engineers have already
proved that submarine tunnels are
quite possible as a means of relieving
traffic between the cities now over
crowding the cumbersome ferry boats
with the moving population crossing
the rivers twice a day. AS Mr.. Cooper
did not hesitate to renew his subscrip-
