A Change Of Sentiment.


IOriginall
Conductor John Baker was In bad
luck. He had been discharged by the
company, he knew no business except
railroading, and 1t Is not easy for a
discharged man to get another berth.
Baker had a wife and five children,
who were dependent upon him for
bread and butter, to say nothing of n
roof over their heads.
The circumstances attending his dis
charge were rather to his credit than
discredit. He had violated a rule of
the company through the kindness Of
his heart. He had passed n man over
the road who told a pitiful story with
out collecting a fare and had given him
a quarter from his own pocket besides.
His act had been reported to the super
intendent, and his discharge followed.
Baker was at a loss to know who had
reported him. He knew all the train
hands well and was sure there was not
one of them who would thus injure
him.
And so for six long miserable months
he brooded while doomed to see his
wife and children hungry. ragged and
driven from one house to another till
they landed in a rookery. And all this
time that he was not hunting for a sit

At last he found a railroad superln-

and Baker struggled for a year or
more, denying himself and his family
every comfort that could possibly be
spared. before he made up the deficien-
cy occasioned by his laying of and
paid of the accumulation of smaH loans

ed with an economical wife, he at last
accomplished the task and could again
look upon life with at least equanimity.
But he never forgot the circumstances
that led to his misfortune and never

the informer.
One day after Baker had taken his
new position a woman with a little
boy got on his train. When he asked
her for her ticket she began a pitiful
moaning, and at the same time the
child began to cry, but the ticket was
not forthcoming. Ticket said Baker
sharply. 81 haven't any ticket" the
woman walled. MY husband has just
died and left me without money. I'm
going to the poorhouse."
PAY your fare or get or" said
Baker resolutely.
The woman only responded by tears.
Meanwhile passengers sitting near
were listening, sympathizing with the
poor widow and scowling at the u
ductor.
Haven't you a human heart under
your ribs?" sneered a man.
"What a brute!" flashed a woman

but they evidently produced no effect
upon him. He stood looking at the
woman. waiting for her to pay her
fare. At last he made a final demand
and, receiving only the usual response
of means, took her child from her and
handed him to a trainman. Then he
pulled the bell cord.

Baker stood mute In the aisle, the wo-
man ~redoubling her means. Cries of

greeted the conductor. He paid no at
tention to them, though there was a
strange look In his eye. When the
train came to a full stop he took the
woman by the back of her dress and
hustled her off on to solid ground.
Then he turned upon her and rained
blows upon her with the rapidity of a

wild ponies. 1t was a confusion In one
sense and regulated action In another,
forming almost a delirium Of delight
to the huntsmen. Some went flying
from one end of the prairie to the
other after stragglers, while the main
guard formed In such a manner as to
make the buffaloes circle. The signal to
halt was given, and as the dust cloud
rose little by little like a curtain in the
theater the horses were seen at a
standstill, and the prairie was strewn
with the buffaloes that fell. Calm and
practical fellows were these Indians.
Even the horses began quietly pastur-
Ing on the grasses, while the hunters
proceeded to pull off the hides and cut
out the tongues and favorite pieces Of
their native cattle and preparing the
meat in strips for preservation.
During the progress of the hunt the
grand duke expressed a desire to have

Then for the first time the ~onlookers
