THE EVENING STORY:
GIRL ON THE TRAIN.
Copyright. 1914, by W. Werner,

The boy laughed. He couldn't helm
it. She looked so comical standing on
the platform of the elevated train with
the rain beating down around her,
and every one else crowded inside the
car. 1t was the rubber coat and hat
that made her look so funny. He
hadn't meant to laugh out loud: he
didn't think that she really heard, but
she turned toward him that very mo-
ment. and, while the boys heart beat
gladly, she laughed, too, and sunk her
hands deeper into her pockets. When
the train started she leaned over the
gate to wave her hand at him.
The boy, who sat all day at the win
dow, had often counted the trains that
passed within few feet of him, in an
endless procession, but he was never
able to estimate the number of people
inside. There seemed to be millions
wondered where they all came from,
and where they went. There was a
vague sort of picture in his mind of
some monstrous tenement that gather
ed them in crowds at night, only to
send them forth like greedy giant to
do its bidding by day.
1t gave the boy a very comfortable
feeling inside to have the girl on the
train wave her hand to him in that
friendly fashion. He couldn't quite
picture her as a part of. that awful
crowd, but he felt rather that she be-
longed to him, and he hoped she would
pass again. The next morning dawned
bright and beautiful, and as soon as
the boy was tucked in his seat by the
window, with glass of water and
much worn picture book within easy
reach, he began his watch for the girl.
He knew the change of weather would
bring about a corresponding change of
dress, and he worried a little lest she
pas unrecognized.
It vas nearly dusk and the crowded
trains were again creeping slowly
home ard. when suddenly one stop
ped directly in front of him.. and there
on the platform stood the girl smiling
joyously as though she had been
watching, too, and was glad to find
him there, Again she leaned over the
gate to wave, and the boy pressed his
face close to the pane to watch the
fluttering hand and handkerchief until

roses began to fade from his cheeks.

eyes were SO shiny, and why she hur-
ried into their room when the gentle
men were gone. She came out again
when he called her. and. sitting down
beside him, she asked: How would
you like to go and live on a farm"
The boys eyes wandered wistfuliy
toward the window until his mother
ner hands. she told him hurriedly:
'She is not there. dear: she has gone
away. Before she left she wrote q
beautiful letter saying the money she
had saved was to go toward helping

haps. take us into the country"
His mothers voice sounded choky.
but she went on: She lived all alone,
too, and she wrote that your smile
had helped her. She sent this
The boys mother held him close in
her arms with his dear little face
pressed against her throat. Outside
the window he heard athe gates slam,
the bell ring and the long train creak
and groan on its way around the cor
ner.
At last he looked at the little kodak
with her hands thrust deep into the
pockets Of her coat. her eyes sparkling
joyously and little -wavy tufts Of hair
curling over the soft, fuzzy hat she
wore.

day passed. Each day the train stop
ped just outside his window, but the
girl wasn't standing on the platform
and no one leaned against the gate
to wave to him.
Saturday evening a blue-coated mes
senger brought a basket of fruit VITA
a little note, in which was scrawled,
weakly:
"Boy-My throat won't let me eat
this, but I hope you will enjoy it.
How had she guessed that he called
her Girl" and wasn't it fine of her
to call him "Boy'-not a little boy.
but just Boy? Somehow the way
she wrote 1t made him think Of her
as she looked that first rainy evening
pushing her hands deep into the pock-
cts of her raincoat.
The next evening it was roses the
messenger brought. and this time she
wrote she was dividing with him.
After a while no letter came with the
fruit and flowers. The boy wondered
how she was-if she was getting bet
ter. He hoped she could sit by win
dow, and he wished that he might ride
past and wave his hand to her.
At last the blue-coated messenger
ceased to come in the evening. and
when the train, passed at dusk the
BOYS heart ached with longing, and
sharp pains would shoot through his
eyes as he strained them searching

the great train drew them away.
Through the long hours that passed
until She came again he remembered
her smile, the jolly way she dived her
hands into the pockets of her coat the
eyes that danced and sparkled behind
her glasses, and the little wavy tufts
OF hair that curled up over the soft
fuzzy hat she wore.
The boy had often wished he lived
in the country where he could look
ever and ever so far without seeing
another house or a single elevated
road. but as the days went by and he
caught a glimpse of the girl almost
every evening he began to make be-
ed her as just around the corner and
knew he would see her again after a
little while. He forgot the longing for
the green fields.
So the days AND evenings passed
until at last the girl, riding by. no
longer wore the big coat with it's deep
pockets. Bright flowers bobbed and
nodded gayly from her new hat
Soon the weather became SO warm
that the window was left open and

was after the window was opened that

days to paste them all into a book, but

ing he held it up for her to see.

thought her laugh was a little choky.
The next evening the package contain

side of the box was the picture of a
boy whose feet were all bare, his hat
was torn. and his trousers were rolled
up above his Knees. He carried a fish

lips were puckered until one could

Lightning as a Fertilizer.

People who pull down windows and
window shades and line up in the first
convenient clothes closet as soon as
the magnificent artillery of the thun-
der clouds begins to play seldom stop
to consider the value of lightning as
fertilizer. They are almost always
too preoccupied with their prejudices
against the smashing beat and the roll
of the thunderclaps. Such people often
wish that the storm would go away
from. them, little caring that the
lightning stroke is one of natures
prime ways for restoring fertility to
used-up soils. When one fears light
ming, one is prone to let his personal
relationship blot out everything Ing
personal about the matter.
Nevertheless. lightning, where it does
not alight upon his barn or home, is
a powerful aid to the farmer. At the
high temperature of the lightning flash
the nitrogen of the air is burned with
oxygen, forming nitric oxides. These
are dissolved in the rain and precip1-
tated on the earth in the form of weak
solutions of nitric acid. Where thun-
derstorms are frequent and severe in
tropical countries. this precipitation OF
nitrogen is Of important value In ferti-
lizing the earth. For the Tonkin delta
in Indo-Chins a French geographer
has estimated that the amount of at
mospheric nitrogen obtained annually
by the lightning's aid Is equivalent TO
nearly 100000 tons of nitrate OF soda,
or 10000 tons of ammonium sulphate,
worth $20,000,0O0. Lightning ADDS
greatly to this country's fertility.

The result was a slight average de-

Wireless From Aeroplane and Yep
pelin.

The results obtained in the superwar
with the wireless on the fleet air
scouts and battle cruisers of the sky
will occupy the study of military men
for many years to come. Germany,
especially, has devoted herself to the
adaptation of wireless telegraphy TO
aviation, including receiving and send
ing apparatus and devices intended to
facilitate position finding.
The problem of equipping the aero
plane with antennae of sufficient length
and with generating sets of adequate
strength has been a hard one. Several
aeroplane have been tried, and a re-
ported success has been realized by
trailing bronze wires clear of possible
interference with the propellers.
1t would seem that there are even
greater possibilities to be awaited
dirigibles. The huge size of these
fghting machines obviate. the difficult
ties of installation, and long radius
of communication can be maintained.

from their rosy depths. Once and some-
times twice a week a small package
would come sailing swiftly across the
space between his window and the
train,' and fall unerringly into his lap.
The boy always caught his breath
sharply when she raised her arm to
throw. because of the very girl-like
way she did it. but never once did she
miss the window.
Sometimes it was fruit, candy, a
piece of cake, a dainty sandwich, or
toy that he could play with with
out having to get up. So varied were
the contents of the packages that the
boy began to make believe his sis
ter was fairy, who made toys espe-
cially for little boys who couldn't run
around. Nothing she ever sent gave
him more pleasure than the glimpse
he caught of her bright smile and the
happy twinkle in her eyes.
The neighbors said It was the set
Element doctor who was making the
twisted little body straighter. and it
must be the warm summer sunshine
that was bringing the roses to his
cheeks. But the boy knew better,
and even the doctor suspected that
probably the sunny face pointed out
to him one evening had as much to do
