CATCHING AN EDITION. A Reporter’s Efforts to Get Ilin Story on the Wire. | News of the blowing up anil sinking of a steamboat on the Ohio river reached the office of a Pittsburg paper one evening some years ago. The city editor sent a young reporter out on a search for the facts. The search developed into an adventure such as any newspaper man may tumble into at 1 any hour of the day or night World's ' Work tells the story: lie hurried to the station and caught the first westward bound express. , When tile train had started, lie learned , that it did not stop within sixty miles of his destination. A cautious hint from a Pullman porter apprised him of the presence ot a division superintendent on the train, and in a few minutes be received an order from the conductor to stop the train for him. Reaching the station late at night he asked the telegraph operator to remain until he returned. Then he walked several miles, got his 'story'' and hur- * ried back to the station, only to tind ■ that the operator had disregarded bis request and closed the office. Time was creeping into the morning hours and he had the prospect of all his work coming to naught unless he ; secured an operator to get the story to; his newspaper offii’c. He trampl’d | about the dark village and found that the operator lived several miles away llnsympathizing country folk could not be induced to rouse themselves. Thinking hard, the young reporter walked back and forth on the platform of the station. Huddled against the station be saw the sleeping form of a tramp. He kicked the hobo and of- ' sered him $5 to make the trip for the operator. I' The roan got to his feet. “Do you want an operator?’’ “Yes.” “Well. I’m a bum, but I was an operator. If you can get into that sta- , tion. I'll send your stuff, but 1 won't touch a door or a window myself." Knowing that the newspaper would gladly pay damages, the reporter took a cudgel, broke the window and clam- 1 bored in. The tramp clicked off the story. and it reached the office in time to go to press. Amusements.

• WHEN KNIGHTHOODS i WAS IN FLOWER » I>> Or, T-e Lore Stcry cf Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor, the Lmjfs and .. Happening In the Reign of His August Majesty King Henry T Rewritten and Rendered Into Modern Engli.h From s,r C>lw>n 1 Memoir mm & •it By CASKUDEN [CHARLES MAJOR v A minrei/ V

We were perhaps forty yards behind i the girls, and I noticed after a time > that the Lady Mary kept looking backj ward in our direction, as if fearing rain ; from the east. 1 was in hopes that i Jane, too, would fear tlie rain, but you would have sworn her neck was stiff, so straight ahead did she keep her face. We had ridden perhaps three leagues when the princess stopped her horse and turned in her saddle. I lieanl her voice, but did not understand what she said. In a moment some one called nut. "Master Brandon is wanted"' So that gentleman rode forward, and I followed him. When we came up with the girls, Mary said, "I fear my girth is loose." Braudon at once dismounted to tighten it, and the others of our immediate party began to cluster around. Brandon tried the girth. "My lady, it is as tight as the horse can well bear,” he said. “It is loose, I say.’’ insisted the princess. with a little Irritation. "The saddle feels like it. Try the other.’’ Then, turning impatiently to the persons gathered around: "Does it require all of you, standing there like gaping bumpkins, to tighten my girth? Ride on. We can manage this without so much help.” Upon this broad hint everybody rode ahead while I held the horse for Brandon, who went on with his search for the loose girth. While he was looking for it Mary leaned over her horse's neek aud asked: "Were you aud Cavendish settling all the philosophical points now in dispute, that you found him so interesting?" "Not all,” answered Brandon, smil Ing. "You were so absorbed I supposed it could l>e nothing short of that.” "No.” replied Brandon again. “But tlie girth is not loose." ‘T’erliaps I only Imagined IL" returned Mary carelessly, having lost interest in the girth. I looked toward Jane, whose eyes j were bright with a smile, and turned Brandon's horse over to him. Janes smile gradually broadened Into a laugh and she said. "Edwin. I fear my girth is loose also.” "As the Lady Mary's was?” asked > unable to keep a straight face auy longer. “Yes." answered Jane, with a vigorous little nod of her head aud a peal of laughter. “Then drop back with me,” I re- ; aponded. The princess looked at ns with a half ■mile, half frown, and remarked, "Now you doubtless consider yourselves very brilliant nnd witty.” “Yes." returned Jane maliciously, nodding her head in emphatic assent, I as the princess nnd Brandon rode on before us. I "I hope she is satisfied now,” said ’ Jane sotto voce to me. “So you want me to ride with you?’ I replied. “Yes," nodded Jane. “Wily?" I asked. "Because I want you to,” was the enlightening response. “Then why did you not dance with me the other evening?" "Because I did not want to." "Short, lint comprehensive," thought ‘ I, "but a sufficient reason for n maid- ’ en." I said nothing, however, and after a ; time Jane spoke: "The dance was one thing an<l riding with you Is another. , I did not wish to dance with you. but I do wish to ride with you. You are the only gentleman to whom I would have i said what 1 did about my girth being loose. As to the now dance. I do not care to lenrn it. because I would not 1 dance It with any man but you, and | not even with you—yet." This made ; me glad, and coming from coy, modest Jnne meant a great deal. It meant Wat she cared for me and would some <1 ty be mine, but it also meant that she ! would take Iter own time and her own sweet way in l>cing won. This was comforting, If not satisfying, and loosenisl uiy tongue. "Jane, you know my heart is full of love for you" "Will the universe crnmhlcT’ she cried, with the most provoking little inngh Vnn- fhni sentence was my ; ro<k abend whenever I tried to give Jane some Idea of the state of my affections. It was a part of the s|>eech which I had prepared nnd delivered to Mary in Jane's hearing, ns you already know. I had said to the princess, "The universe will crumble and the heaven* roil up as u scroll ere n>y love shall alter or pale." It wns a high sounding , sentence, but it wns not true, as I was I forced to admit, almost with the same ; I breath that spoke ft. Jnne had beard it nnd had stonsl it nway in that mem- ! ory i f hers, so tenacious In holding to cverytliiug It should forget. It is wonderful wliat n ftmil of useless Informs-1 ; tion some persons accumulate and cling ! to with a peralstent determination wor- ' thy of n Is'tter cause. I thought Jane never would forget that unfortunate, I nbomlnnble sentence spoken i|o gran-1 diloquontly to Mnry. I wonder what she would have thought had she known I that I had si;ld substantially the same thing tn a <loz.en others. I never should i have won her in that cane Rhe does j not know It yet and never shall If I . enn prevent. So Jane halted my effort to ponr out I my heart, as she idways did. 1

"There is something that greatly ; troubles me." she said. -What is it?' 1 asked in some eon- > mistress." she answered, nodding’in the direction of the two riding ; i i fnu “1 never saw her so ahead of us. i much interested in any one as she is in rour friei.<!. Master Brandon. Not that she is really in love with him as yet perhaps, but I fwr it is coining, and I dread to see it That incident of the loose girth is an Illustration. Did you ever know anything so bold and transparent’ Anv one could see through it. and the worst of all is she seems not to care if every one does see. Now look at them ahead of usl No girl is so happy riding beside n man tinlesa she Is interested in him. She was dull enough until he joined her. He seemed in no hurry to come, so sne resorted to the flimsy excuse of the loose girth to bring him. 1 am surprised that she ■ even sought the shadow of an excuse, but did not order him forward without auy pretense of one. Oh. 1 don't know what to do! It troubles me greatly. | Do you know the state of his feelings?" "No,” I answered, “but I think be Is heart whole, or nearly so. He told me be was not fool enough to fall In love with the king's sister, and 1 really lie lieve be will keep bis heart and head, even at that dizzy height. He is a cool fellow, if there ever was one.” “He certainly is different from other men," returned Jane. "I think lie has never spoken a word of love to her He lias said some pretty things, which she lias repeated to me; has moralized to some extent, and has actually told | her of some of her faults. I should like to see any one else take that liberty. She seems to like it from him. and says he inspires her with higher, better motives and a yearning to i>e good, but I nm sure lie has made no love to her.” “Perhaps it would be better if he did It might cure her,” I replied. "Oh. no. no! Not now ! At first, per haps, but not now. What I fear is that i if he remains silent much longer she will take matters in hand and speak herself. I don't like to say that —it doesn't sound well—but she Is a prin cess, and it would be different witli her from w hat it would be with an or dinary girl. She might have to speak first, or there might tic no speaking from one who thought bis position too far beneath her. She whose smallest desires drive her so will never forege so gn-at a tiling as the man she loves only for the want of a word or two." Then it was that Jane told tue of the scene with the note, of tlie little whispered confidences upon their pillowsand a hundred other straws that showed •nly too plainly which way this worst of ill winds wa« blowing, with no good in it for any one. Now. who could have foretold this? It was easy enough ro prophesy that Brandon would learn to love Mr.ry. excite a passing interest and come off crestfallen, as all other men bad done. i»ut that'Mary should ' love Brandon and he remain heart whole was an unlocked for event, one that would hardly have l.een predicted ■ by the shrewdest prophet. What Lady Jane said troubled me greatly, as it was but the eonfrmation of my own fears. Her opportunity to know was far better than mine, but I had seen enough to set me thinking. Braudon, I believe, saw nothing of Mary's growing partiality nt all He could not help but find her wonderfully attractive and Interesting, mil perhaps it needed only the thought that she might !pve him to kindle a flame in his own breast. But at the time of our ride to Windsor Chnries Brandon was not in lore with Mary Tudor, however near it he may unconsciously have been. But another s trouble could not dim the sunllgl.t In my own heart, and that ride to Windsor was the happiest day of my life up to that time. Even Jane threw off the little cloud our forebodings had gathered and chatted and laughed like the creature of Joy and gladness she wns Ahead of us were the princess and Brandon. Every now and then her voice came back to us in a stave of n song, and her Innghter ru-h amj wafted on tlie wings o f the soft south wind, made the glad birds hush to catch its silvery note. Wo U || rode merrily on ts Windsor, nnd when we arrived It was curious to see the groat nobles, Buckingham, both the Howards. Seymour and a dozen otlwrs stand back for plain Charles Brandon to dismount the fairest maiden and the most renowned princess in | Christendom. It was done most gracefully. She was but a trifle to big strong arms, and he lifted her to the **l as gently as if she wore a child The nobles envied Brandon his evident | favor with this unattainable Mary and hated him accordingly, but they kept their thoughts to then.solves for two ; t.-usons: First, they knew not to what <tegrw. the king's favor, almtdy mark ed, with the help of the prltn ess might carry him, and, second, they did not can- to have n misunderstanding with the mnn who had cut out Adam Jud i son s eyes. We remained nt Windsor four or five days, during which time the king made s*’verai knights. B ran don would prob ably have been one of them, ag every rahted to Uourr the episode of the

loose girth and adroitly itolsoitixl t mind ns to Mary's partiality \ t tb '' 1 the king began to cast a jealous'ey? Brandon, llis sister was his chief (p. louintie resource, und when she | ov , or married it should be f or n,, 11 J’ a benefit, regardless of all else. Brandon and the Lady Mary saw great deal of each other during this ] it * tie stay at Windsor, as site always some phin to bring alwut a nieetiirrnd, although very delightful to him It cost him much in royal f ftvor i could not iracv this effect to its ) • cause, and it troubled him. [ i A* I J) Ft ■ ■ She uiis but a trifle to his strong arms have told him the reason tn two wore, but 1 feared to put into his mind the thought that the princess might learn to love him. As to the king, he would not have cared If Brandon or every other man. for that matter, should go stark mad for love of his sister, but when site began to show a prefereu,* he grew interested, and it was apt sooner or Inter to go hard with tbe fortunate one. When we went buck to Greenwich, Brandon was sent on a day ahead. [TO BI CONTIXIED.I ■*« THE FEMININE FIB. A Jndli-lons Blend ot Blaek. White, Gray and < hine*e Lien, A distinguished preacher once ilirid ed lies into "biack lies, white lies, gray lies and Chinese lies." The feminine fib is generally a jufficious blend of tbe white lie and the Chinese lie. For the lietiefit of those who have never grad tinted in tbe special mendacity tripos it may be explained that a Chinese lie is. as a ntle. purely ornamental, being of tbe nature of embroidery, which is intended to add beauty and color to tbe plain object on which it is used as trimming. Tlie Chinese lie is prompted by tbe very highest and noblest of motivesnamely. a desire to give pleasure to others, many a plain, dull fact being served up and made quite tasty and appetising by a little judicious garniture of Chinese—er-embroidery Directed into the proper channel, a Chinese liar becomes a skillful writer of fiction and turns her gift to profitable account But tbe everyday feminine amateur, who has not this outlet for het tarradiddular talent, turns her attention to the afternoon tea table and adds a spice to whatever gossip is going by a gentle pep|H*ring of fibs Vnfortunately this gift of imagination is often accompanied by a defective memory, whereas to make a good —er—prevaricator nothing is so essential as a good memory Without this the employer of the Chinese method u almost certain to get found i>ut sooner or lab-r—generally sovner and then she has the mortification of finding that iter little efforts t<> please quite tail In their effect. And not only that; but what is more trying still, she even finds that when from luck of material for fictional pnrposes she does fur once serve up tbe cold, nngarnlsbetl truth her bearers have so got in the habit of disbelieving her that her plain statement is received with inctddulitx That is why any one who alius at distinction in the fibbing world must carefully cul tivate a good memory and so follow tbe Golden Rule to avoid being found out -Modern Society.
