ifc sSS An Event That Took Away Her Interest In the Cause. By KATHLEEN J. M'CURDY. I [Copyright, 19W, by American Praia Ana®elation.j She was standing ou the curb selling ) I pamphlets, while beside her a box was used to display a large handbill on, which was printed “Votes For Worn | en!” If it be asserted that only the angular old maids or fat married worn en are to Is- found in the,ranks of the > suffragettes this young lady proved tho contrary. She was very pretty. At nny rate, Peter Thompson slopped to look at her and byway of an ex-1 ruse to speak to her bought a pamphlet. , I “Head it," she said, “and yon will l»e • with us.” “I’m with you already,” Thompson 1 replied. "Then help'tis." "I meant that I was with you personally.” At this the girl looked a trifle dis-' pleased. "There are certain qualities,” Thomp- ] son added, “that arc' required In those] who are given citizenship. Oue of these”— | “I am quite sure women possess those qualities,” snapped the girl. "What qualities?” “Those to which you refer.” “I haven’t yet named them.” "Well, do so.” “Women are not good listeners.” “I deny the fact.” By this timp several people had stopped to listen, arid Thompson, not caring to amuse a crowd, passed on. He had no opinions as to whether women are entitled to the suffrage or not. The subject did not Interest him. But one thing did Interest him very much—the pretty suffragette. He was a philosophic chap, always looking for reasons for things, and a problem occupied his thoughts from the moment he saw the suffragette—namely, what there was about her that caused her to remain a fixture in his mind. While Thompson was walking along, thinking about the suffragette and why she had lodged herself within that combination of matter and forces which he considered himself to be and I u si i 1 j[ I j [Wruw I J s —3 R V X —->□ poncj “I SHALL DO NO SUCH THING. ” to which had been given the name of Thompson, he passed a woman wheeling a baby carriage. A little boy aged about fifteen months sitting in the carriage looked up at him and smiled. Thompson was fond of children. lie, put out bis hand, which was clutched I by the tiny pink tipped fingers, thj» boy's eyes being fixed on Thompson as 1 though he bad found his first and best I friend. “What a beautiful boy!” he exclaimed. Tho mother looked happy, as mothers do when they hear their children praised. A sudden idea struck the philosopher. "Madam," pursued Thompson musingly, his eyes still on the boy, who continued to clutch Ids band, "I wish the loan of your child for awhile. I will pay you a big interest." The mother looked su-prised. To shorten the story, Thompson bargained with the woman that she should wheel her boy up in front ofj his suffragetie, ask her to watch him while she went Into a store, then disappear, not to return. Thompson agreed that no harm should come to the child, that he should not be lost to his mother and when returned the borrower would put a snug sum In a savings bank to start a fund for the boy’s benefit. The terms were accepted. the child was left with the suffragette, who agreed to look after him, the mother disappeared, and Thompson surveyed the scene from a distance. An hour passed, during the latter) part of which the suffragette was evidently wondering what had become of the mother. The child at last began to cry, and the suffragette tried to soothe him. Then Thompson left his point of observation and, approaching the suffragette, remarked what a pretty boy lehe had with her. This led her to tell i him that she feared the mother had left the boy and did. not intend to return. "You can put him in a foundling home” suggested Thompson. “I shall do no such thing!” replied the girl, firing up. “Poor, dear little fellow! Mamma will come back soon, precious! Don’t cry any more. That’s a dear.”

“If his mother <: 1 urn," said Thompson, "I don'i hoc !>■ you'll have to take him home with yA “1 will,” said the girl ns Thompson walked away. Another hour passed, during which the suffragette neglected to sell painI phh-ts, devoting In-rself to the child. I Thompson after K e returned and. I expressing surprise that the woman had not come back, told the girl that If she would take the boy home with her he would de the work of hunting ' for the mother. She accepted the proposition, and he > 1 walked beside her, carrying her unsold pamphlets ami Iter poster, while she wheeled the child. Ou arriving at her home he found that she belonged to an ' eminently respectable family, every--1 thing about the house bespeaking re ' finement of the occupants. She told i him (hat she worked with the suffru getles simply because her heart was in ' their cause, “and,” she added, "it gives me something to interest myself in so i that I’m not dependant upon balls, parties and dress to occupy my mind." She asked Thompson to come in. He : said he hadn't time Just then, but would call just as soon as he bad se- . cured any Information concerning the child and would keep her advised of I his efforts to find bls mother. ! “I suppose,” he said, "I shall see 1 you every day at your accustomed place selling pamphlets." "Certainly." she replied. “I shall not neglect my work.” But when Thompson passed her stand again and again the next day he saw nothing of her. He reported tho present home of the child to the mother and left a check for a substantial amount with her as earnest of his honest Intentions. Then he went to call on the suffragette to tell her that he had learned nothing as to the identity of the mother since the desertion of the child, which was perfectly true. Miss Edith Coleman, the suffragette, did not seem to worry much over his ill success. She told Thompson that the boy was the dearest little fellow in the world, and she was in no hurry to part with him. Thompson remarked that it was unfortunate that she should be kept away from her legitimate W’ork, to which she replied that administering to a child whose inhuman mother had left him was Just as important as the cause of votes for women. Thompson looked surprised, but said nothing. I The next day. however, he called and said that his sister had offered I to take charge of the deserted boy in j order that Miss Coleman might puri sue her greater work. “Please tell your sister to mind her own bus—l mean that the precious darling has fallen to me. and I shall keep him till he is claimed by his own kin.” Then Thompson went to the headquarters of the suffragettes and by diplomacy secured the sending of a note to Miss Coleman assigning her a very Important duty that would take up all her time for a week. He called at the beadquarters the next day and learned that Miss Coleman bad peremptorily declined to serve. Thompson continued reporting no progress, meanwhile keeping the foundling's mother content by an occasional check. Miss Coleman appeared more and more pleased at his coming and always had the child beautlfully dressed and his hair curled i when he came. Oue day Thompson 1 announced that he had found a clew ' to the identity of the child's mother. Miss Coleman turned pale. “You will now be able to return to your valuable work in securing votes for women.” "I don't wish to return to that work, ' and I don't know if I shall, give my precious up any way.” "But supposing that bis mother | claims him. You wouldn't refuse to 1 : restore him to bis natural parent, I ! would you?” "You mean his unnatural parent.” I “The law would compel you.” ] “I would contest the case.” “And you really feel that to give him up would be a privation.” "I couldn’t endure it.” “Well,' then, I suppose for your sake I’d better not try to find his mother.” “Don’t!” “I'm sorry I wasn't aware before how attached you have become to the child. I know who his mother is, and I suppose it is my duty to inform her that you have her boy.” Miss Coleman looked aghast. “Is j there any way,” she asked, “by which I can keep him in spite of her?” “Would that be Justice?” “Justice! Huinbug! What do I care about justice if it takes my darling from me?” Thompson burst into a laugh. “What are you laughing at?” she asked, Irritated. “You remember that I demonstrated that there were faculties you did not possess which I consider Important for citizenship.” “Well, what's that got to do with it?” | “And now you have confessed a third. You care nothing for Justice.” I I “That’s a man’s view of it.” “To tell the truth, I don’t think that you are fitted for a reformer. There is another field In which you can con- 1 fer more benefit on mankind.” “What’s that?” “You would make a splendid wife and mother.” He was looking straight into her eyes when he said this, and she knew; what he meant. She waited for what ' was to come. Then he told her the whole story. When he had finished it was agreed that the child's mother should come for him. The ex-suffragette was still loath to part with her boy, but his j place was partly supplied by another. She was engaged to marry Thompson.

SPARED THE CHIEF./ Jackton Admired the Bravery jof the Famous Indian. Andrew Jackson was magnanimous in bls treatment of Weath/rsford, the famous Creek chieftain,/when that warrior surrendered, weathersford had done all in his powdr to prevent the horrible massacre at Fort Mims, but most of the frontiersmen were bitter against him, and Jackson himself had sworn to put him to death if be were taken. One day after the power of his people had been utterly broken Weathers-1 ford came riding into Jackson’s camp | on his famous gray horse and stopped Ju front of the general's tent, “How dare you ride up to my tent ( after having murdered the women and children at Fort Mims?" demanded , in astonishment; The chief denied the truth of the' charge, but said lie: “You may kill roe if you. will. I come to get aid for the women and little children who are starving in the woods. If I could fight you nny longer I would do so. but my warriors are all dead. Send, for the women and little children. They never did you any harm. But kill me if the white people want It done.” The troops, crowding about, began to cry menacingly: “Kill him! Kill him!” "Silence!” ordered Old Hickory stern-| ly. "Any one who would kill as brave , a man as this would rob the dead.” The general treated the chief kindly and even gave him permission if he desired to depart and continue the war. The chief afterward settled on a plantation, where he resided for many years, honored alike by white men and red.— Chicago Tribune. SOLVING A PROBLEM. The Green Country Brakeman Whs Introduced the “Saw By.” Many years ago a green country boy applied to the superintendent of a western railway for work and, some- j what against the superintendent’s wish, on account of the danger to life and limb attendant upon such occupation, was given a place as brakeman of a freight train. On one of his tirst trips it happened that his train met another freight train at a station where the sidetrack was not long enough to accommodate either of them. The conductors were debating which train should back up I to a point where they could pass when the new hand ventured to suggest that neither should back; that they could pass each other by means of the short sidetrack if the thing was managed right. The idea excited a good deal of laughter on the part of the old train-1 men, but the boy stood his ground. “Well, how would you go about it?” asked one of the conductors, confident that the lad would soon find himself against a stump. The boy took up a stick and traced in the sand a diagram to illustrate his plan. “Good gracious!” said the conductor. “I believe that will do it!" And it did do it. Today every trainman in America probably knows how to "saw by” two long trains on a short sidetrack, but it is not so generally known that the thing was never done until an inexperienced country boy I who became the manager of a great ’ railway line worked out the problem for himself. The White Shark. The shark of sharks, the real “man eater" and the one most dreaded, is j the white shark. This variety reaches a length of thirty five feet and a weight of 2,000 pounds. Its head is long and lint, and the snout far overi hangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth are sharp as lancets and notched like saws. Its mouth is very large, so that one has been known to cut a man’s body completely in two at a single snap of its cruel jaws and another to swallow one at a gulp. Near Calcutta one of these sharks was seen to swallow a bullock’s head, horns and all. From the stomach of another a bull’s hide was taken entire, and tile sailor j who made the discovery insisted that the bull had been swallowed whole and all except the hide had been digested. From the stomach of another was taken a lady’s workbox tilled with the usual contents, scissors and all. It is commonly the white shark which follows the vessel at sea day after day and week after week. The Retort Courteous. “Camp Meeting” John Allen was a famous Methodist preacher a:.d revivalist of the old days down in Maine, and, like most successful pulpit orators, his sense of humor was equal to his gift of speech. It is recalled by the Boston Journal that on one occasion the old gentleman’s wife was getting into a carriage, and he neglected to assist her. “You are not as gallant, John, as when you were a boy!” she exclaimed in gentle r»buke. “No,” was his ready response, “and I you are not as buoyant as when you were a gal!” In His Father's Footsteps.
