The sittor. IN stations.

"I wonder what all these people do
that sit In the various railroad walt
ing rooms" said the observant man.
"You see them in the Grand Central
station. in the waiting rooms at Jer-
sey City and 1obokcn, sitting down
and apparently waiting without end.
You see the same types not only In
New York, but in any Of the railroad
waiting rooms Of the big cities. They
don't seem to have anything to do; q
large part OF them are not even enter
tanning themselves by reading. They
appear 10 be watching nothing In par
ticular. and yet there they sit and
wait. They don't seem 20 be Interested
IN the movements OF the trains. FOL
they never look up when the 'bawlcr
comes through. They don't seem 10 be
waiting for anybody, as they show
little interest n the crowds that stream
through after the arrival Of every
train.

as he pockcted the letter. John DUFF

spectacles.
"Nhen I was lad" he said severe
", young men did not pick and

they could get. You want to marry

"And on my part promise that If a

lie had been there llttlc more than
year when he sought ont Travers and
laid a plan before him. Less than half
mile up Che valley constant fan
broke over the high elm and rolled IN
to the valley, 400 feet below. It was
Jims plan to use water power Instead
OF steam and employ a trolley on the
tramway.
Travers smiled at FIRST. but Jim
worked out the plan for him, and the
New York Office approved. Jim was
put In charge of the plant, and the
company raised Travers' salary.
It was well toward the close OF the
second year that DufIord came to visit
the mine No one knew OF his inten-
tion until word was telegraphed from
the station. The word was flashed
about the camp that the old man had
come, but the first hint that ladies' ac-
companied him came to Jim as he
stood in the door Of the power house.
The road led past the door. and as he
stood listening 10 the rhythmic pur OF
Il the dynamo the familiar sound was
broken by the quick beat Of horses
hoofs on the hard road, and around
II the curve swung a maddened broncho
with a woman swaylng in the saddle.
Marsden sprang into the roadway
and In one tense moment fought the
insane brute with desperate energy as
he was dragged along. Then the fight
was won. and no sprang TO the saddle
just as Marjorie slipped, fainting, from
Z the seat.

more explicit"
"But it's been a good thing for you,
declared Mr. Duford as he steppe'
through the doorway. you've showi
the stuff that's in you, and it's might

ticeship. but IL Jacob could serve seven
years and again seven for Rachel, he
should be able to serve for two.
The old man had no particular obiec-
ton TO him save that he had inherited
his money. This being the case the
stipulation that he should not even
write Marjorie. lest he work upon her
sympathics, seemed particularly hard,
but Dufford was a hard man. and II
Marsdcn wanted Marjorie for his wife.
he could only bow TO the dictum.
1t was four days before he landed in
the little Colorado town which was the
nee Sest railroad point to the mine, and
the next morning a six hour rice
brought him 20 the dcsolate collection
of buildings grouped around the shaft
Of the mire. which night and day
ground cut mo-e wealth for the COM
pany Of which Dunord was the head.
The superintendent was easily found,
and he glanced over the letter AIarsden
presented

response. "Can you Gre an engineF"

He turned 10 attend 10 another mar

dismissed Jim turned away.

Society Notes.

It is with high degree of satis- faction that all of Prescott notes thespendid manner in which our visiting young ladies are being entertained. It is seldom that one is shown the attention and honors that is being extended to Misses Estelle Brown, Annie Watts and Nellie McCaughey, of Camden, Mary Alley of Forrest City, and Ruby Duncan, of Pop lar Bluff, Mo-, but then it is sel- dom than we ever have as charm ing a bevy of young ladies with us.
 A short resume and fore cast will in a small degreee show just how well Prescott people do the honors, where there is an Occa- sion for it.
 On Saturday afternoon the mi tial affair was given by Miss Wal Ter, and quite a number of Pres colt young people met at her hospitable home to meet the young ladies.
 On Monday afternoon Miss Florence Watson entertained the Chating Dish Club, and a most pleasant two hours was spent by the members and their guests.
 On Monday nighta skating par ty was rendered byMayor Arnold to the visiting young ladies, and about twenty couples enjoyed a few hours at the rink, after which the crowd repaired to the cafe of Mr. Arnold's where a bountiful menu was spread.
 On last evening Miss Mildred McRae entertained with proba- bly one of the most pleasant events of the week. A large mum Der were present, and happy time was spent. The feature of the evening was a spelling match indulgedby the entire party, and to Mrs. H. k. Bemis was given the prise for superior orthogra- phy. Refreshments were served. and it was with regret that so pleasant an evening should come to an end.
 Miss Mildred McRae entertains again this afternoon, and this evening Miss Marian Waller will have the young ladies at tea, af- ter which the boys are invited to take part in deer" hunt.
 Tomorrow a picnic will be giv- en by Mrs. H. E. Bemis out on the r. x N. w. Railroad, and Miss Julia Logan will entertain tomor- row night.
