STOOPS, Editor and —7PETERSBURG. - - INDIANA. “MY BEST FAEE.” JL London Cabman’s Story of How » He Got His Wife. - } ° I’ve been a cabman ten years or more, and naturally I’ve had some good fares in my time There was a bishop once who gave me a sovereign instead of a shilling, and wouldn’t take it back when 1 told him he’d made a mistake. There was a bookmaker who bet me a pound to nothing I couldn’t catch a Doncaster special at King’s Cross, and who paid me two because I landed him in time, though I damaged my cab and got my number taken on the road. But the best fare I ever drove was a servant girl. Of course I didn’t class her as any better than indifferent when I picked her up at the Great Central terminus; and if it hadn’t been for a block in the street, I should probably have missed her altogether. I'd meant to be in time to meet the 6:80 express, a favorite train of mine—only the other day I got a newly-married couple up for a honeymoon out of it—but the block made me just too late, and when 1 reached the arrival platform, it looked as desolate a3 only an arrival platform can when one train’s backed out and the next ain’t dne for half an hour. ‘ All the passengers had gone except the one girjl, and there wasn’t a cab to be seen. The porters—all but Sam Sleeman —were talking to each other, and Sam was talking to the girL “Didn't l«tell you there'd be one directly, miss?” said ho as I came up. “Here’s the very best driver in all Iibndon at your service.” She was a nice, fresh, pleasantfeatured lass; and if I’d been taking a day off into Epping Forest or down to Hampton Court, I’d have been glad enough to let her share the pony-trap; but pleasure ain’t business, and I began to wish I’d stopped outside the station. However, as I was there, I couldn’t very well refuse her; so she got into my hansom, looking as if it wouldn't take much to make her cry. “Seventy-four Blank street, Chelsea,” said Sam as he handed me up her bit of a box. “I’ve told her three shillings is the proper fare. Halves in the extra bob. Bill.” “Come up, horse,” said I as we cleared the station gates “Perhaps we’ll pick up a swell on our way back; and anyhow, we haven’t had a bad day.” I was driving a thoroughbred that day, own brother to a horse who once won a race at Alexandra park; and though he was more than a bit queer on his off foreleg, it didn’t stop him when he warmed to his work. He was as sensible as a Christian, too, and a shake of the reins was enough to make him do his best; but he didn’t like pottering about searching for little streets nobody ever hewRl of but those who live in them. Blank street was one of that sort, aud by the time we pulled Up a‘ seventy-four he’d lost his patience, and so had I.

iiuw, uiib?), 1, through the trap and rather sharp, “as soon asjwju can, please. My horse is fidgety, and time’s money.”, She gave a little seream and jumped out as quick as if I’d dropped a firecracker down on her. In her hurry, she managed to get her dress caught ^^^somehow; and when she tried to undo it, she pinched her fingers in the door. “Oh!” she cried again; and, thinking I’d never see the end of the job if I • didn’t lend a hand, I swung myself down off my perch. “You ain’t accustomed to hansoms, I think,’’said I as 1 fumbled about with her skirt. “I never was in one before,” she replied. “I’m very sorry to give you so much trouble. Oh, dear! I hope your horse won’t run away.” * “Not he, miss,” said I. “He’ll stand for an hour if I’m not on the box. But there. All’s clear now, I think.” “Thank you,” said she, taking out her purse. “Are you sure this is the right number?” “Why, yes,” said I. getting her box down. “Anyway, it’s seventy-four. That’s what you want, isn’t it?” ^Yes,” she replied. “But it looks like an empty house.” It did; and it wasn’t satisfied with only looking like one. I rang the bell till I broke the wire, and then I took a turn at the knocker; but it was no go. The girl stood on the pavement with her shabby little purse in her hand and her shabby little box at her feet, looking so miserable that 1 hadn’t the heart to leave her to shift for herself. “Cheer up, miss,” said L “I’ll try next door.” A waspy-faced little woman an* swered my knock. “No,” says she; “I don’t know nothing about seventy-four; and if I d’d, this ain’t a private-inquiry office.” And with that she shut the door in mv face. “Don’t give way; my dear,” said I, seeing the girl was beginning to cry. “Perhaps you’ve made a mistake in the address.” N “Oh no; I’m sure I haven’t,” she sobbed. “Here’s the lady’s card.” She showed it me, and it had “Mrs. Staple-ton-Pen rose” in the middle, and “74 Blank street, Chelsea,” down in the left-hand corner as correct as any card I ever saw. “Did they know you were doming by this train?” 1 asked. ! “Yes,” site replied. ^When Mrs. Peorosd engaged me, she told me exactly bow to come, and the time and everything. She and her husband have been stopping in the boarding-house at Harming ton where 1 was housemaid, -and I was to be parlor-maid here. But oh, whatshall 1 do if she’s left?” “No need to think about that till we’re sure,” said I, more to comfort her than because 1 had much doubt. I couldn’t see a “To Let” about anywhere;, but the windows were very <Urty. and altogether the place looked

as deserted as a last year's nest “Perhaps the master’s in the city, the missis out shopping, and your fellow-servants taking an airing. Anyhow, if you’ll keep an eye on the cab—the horse won’t stir of his own accord, 1 promise you— I’ll nip round to tliat post office and ask.” The post office wan only one of those little: places where they haven’t anything to do with the delivery of letters; and they couldn’t, or wouldn’t, tell me much, though I cross-ques-tioned the young woman in charge nearly as bard as a lawyer once crossquestioned me when I was a witness in a running-down case. I walked slowly back, hoping to ' goodness somebody belonging to the 1 place would hare turned up while I was away; and, sure enough, when 1 got round the corner, I could see some one talking to the girt “That’s ail right, William,” says I to myself. But it wasn’t The chap was only a policeman, j “Hullo! 10,414,” says hq. Trust a copper to take the number of s cab if he stands within sight of it . for five seconds. “What’s the meaning of this?” 1 “That’s just what I want. to know,” says I. “If you’re the officer on the beat, perhaps you can tell me where to find somebody belonging to seventyfour.” “Ay!” says he, chuckling. “I can tell you fast enough. In Holloway prison on remand—charge of general swindling. Surely you’re not another victim?” “No fear,” I replied. “But I’m afraid this young woman is. A Mrs. Some-thing-or-other Penrose has engaged her as parlor maid.” “Oh! she has, has she?” said he. “Tell me, my dear, did she borrow any money from you?” “Oh yes, sir; she did indeed,” cried the poor girl, now fairly breaking down. “Ten pounds the day before she left Harmingham. I was to have extra wages for being so ready to oblige her.” “Ah!” said the policeman, “1 thought so. My lady has been playing the same game, or a similar one, all over the country for some time; but we’ve got her at last, my girl, and we shan’t let her go in a hurry. If you care to have a dig at her, you can come round to the station along with me and tell your story to the inspector. The more of you who appear against her, the longer she’s likely to get, if that’s any consolation to you. It would be to me, I know.” * "And to me,” I chimed in. “I’ll drive you and the officer round with pleasure, miss, if you’d like to go.”“Oh! no, no,” she moaned. She was sitting on her box by this time and crying as if her heart would break. Even the copper looked sorry for her; and I felt as if hanging would be too good for Mrs. Penrose. “I don’t want revenge. But what am 1 to do? what am r to HaV’

“Well, if you'll take my advice,” put in5 the copper, “you’ll let cabby here drive you back to the statiop, and take the first train home to your friends.” “I haven’t any friends,” said she, “or any mouey to pay my fare, if I had.” “Don’t say that, miss,” said I, winking at the copper. “There must be some one down in your part of the country who’d put you up till you’ve time to turn round; and as for fare, why, they know me so well at the Great Central, that 1 could arrange it with the booking clerk.” But she stuck out she couldn’t think of anywhere to go. She said she’d no parents, no relatives even that she knew of; and as for friends, well, a servant in a boarding house naturally don’t make many of the sort that’s useful in a crisis. “What the dickens are we to do?” I whispered to the copper. “There’s the casual ward,” he whispered back. “Oh! sink the casual ward,” said I, disgusted. “With all my heart,” says he. “But what else is there?” “Well, ain’t there a refuge or a home or something somewhere handy?” I asked. “Why, yes,” replied he “There’s one in X-square; but I don’t know whether they’ll take her in; and if they will, it’s hardly the sort of place for such as her. It’s more for—you know.” “Ay, I know,” said I, with a sigh. “I might try it, though.” “Yes,” says he; “you might, if the young woman has no objection. Anyhow, she can’t stop here all night. Come, clear off, you boys.” It was a very quiet street, was Blank street, but a little crowd had collected by this time. While Robert moved them on, I told the girl about the refuge; and though it was easy to see she didn’t like the idea of it, she said she’d go; and thanked us both for the trouble we were taking. “Don’t mention it. miss,” said I; and Robert, he slipped a shilling into my hand on the sly. “Get her a decent lodging for tonight, if they won’t have her,” he whispered. “I think you’re a chap to be trusted.” “The same to you, my boy; and thank you,” said I. “You’ve got my number; and I’m always to be heard of at Roscoe’s Yard, Lambeth.” “All right,” says he. “You’ll do the best you can for the poor thing, I’ll warrant Good night” As everyone who reads the papers knows, there are charities and charities, and that refuge happened to be one of the wrong sort I saw a woman just a bout as waspy as the one in Blank street who said she was the lady superintendent, and seemed to doubt the truth of every word 1 spoke. She told me they only admitted cases recommended by a subscriber; and then she actually had the impudence to advise me— me, mind you, a London cabby—to be careful, because girls were that artful nowadays that there was no believing in appearances. W ell, this set my back up. I always was a hasty sort of chap, and 1 made up my mind to try no more refuges, though I’ve no doubt that if I’d only known which to take her to there were plenty where she’d have been made welcome and well looked after. 1 didn’t

like the idea of just getting1 her a lodging and leaving her to take her chance either. If she’d no money and no friends it was sneh a precious poor one. “They’re full up here, miss,” says I, going back to the cah. I’d told her to sit still till I saw what sort of a place it was. “They say they can’t possibly take you in; but if you don’t mind crossing the water I think I know a decent body that would put you up for a night or two.” ~ “You’re very good,” says she; “but I must owe you a lot of money already, and I’ve only a few shillings”— “Never mind that, miss,” I interrupted. “My fare can wait: and the party I have in my mind won’t overcharge you—in fact, it’s my mother.” “Your mother!” she cried. “Yes, miss,” said L “If you’ll be good enough to trust me that far, I I think it’s the best thing we can do.” “Of course I trust you,” says she with a little* smile. “You’ve been so kind to me already. But I’m afraid Til be | imposing on your good nature.” “Not a bit of iC’ said I; and to avoid j more words, I clambered up and drove ; off do'gm the Chelsea embankment near ; Vauxhall bridge to Roscoe’s, to leave j the cab. The yardmen stared when I ! handed the young woman out and shoul- : dered her box. “Blessed if Bill Taylor ain’t been snd ! got married!” I heard one of them say; | and “I’ll be back for my second horse j about nine,” I called out, to prevent j the report from spreading among my . mates. 1 thought even a yardman would have sense enough to know a chap wouldn’t want a second horse on his wedding day. We lived close to the yard; and my mother stared harder than the men I had done when 1 came in with the box. “That's a queer thing to be left in a | cab. Bill,” says she. “ ’Tain’t been left, mother,” said I; and then 1 explained things to her as quickly as I could, for the girl was waiting on the landing—we had twjh rooms in a block of model dwellings. * “You ain’t angry, mother?*’ I asked, for she didn’t speak when I’d finished, only looker at me with a queer light in her eyes. “Angry! No,” says she. “Only proud of my son. Come in, you poor dear— come in. You must excuse Bill for leaving you out there. He never did have a grain of sense.” She told us her name was Jessie Morris, and that she’d been an orphan, earning her own living ever since she was fourteen—I set her down as two-and-twenty that night, but knocked off a couple of years when I saw her after she’d had a good rest—and a lot more about herself I needn’t repeat. I left her as cheerful as a cricket, chatting away to my mother as .if she’d known her for years. Mother must have taken pretty quickl^ to her, too; for, after I brought that second horse back about three in the morning, she put her head out of their room just to whisper to me: “Jessie’s fast asleep I thought you’d like to know. God bless you, my boy, for bringing her to.me!” Well, I don’t think there’s much more to be said. Jessie staid on with us for a week or so, and fairly earned her keep by helping mother give the rooms a thorough cleaning; and then mother found her a place with a family at Rrixton. We didn’t lose sight of her. When I’d time I’d look her up; and when she’d her evening out she’d come down to see mother, who wasn’t as active as I’d have liked her to be. Of course I fell in love with her. No one seeing her homely ways with the old lady could help it; but I didn’t speak for nearly a year, partly because I didn’t think she’d have me, and partly because 1 couldn’t see my wav to providing a comfortable home for the two of them.

Alter my uncle inomascueo, inougn, we were much better off. He left me a nice little legacy; and I set up a hansom and a couple of horses of my own, that thoroughbred being one of them. Then I’d felt I’d got a decent position and a chance of putting by something for a rainy day; so, one Sunday evening, when 1 was seeing her home to Brixjnn, I said: “Jessie, poor mother’s get/' jg feeble, don’t you think?” “’tire, Bill, I do,” says Jessie, looking down and blushing as if she guessed what 1 had in mind. “She’d be better for a daughter’s care, wouldn’t she?” I asked, hoping the hint might be enough. “Of coarse she would. It’s a pity you haven’t a sister,” says she, so sharp that I was sure she didn't eare for me, and said no more that night. When I got home I must have looked as glum as I felt, for mother would have it there was something the matter, and after a bit she wormed tiie whole story out of me. • “Oh, you donkey!” says she. “The young men in my day didn’t ask girls to marry them for their mothers’ sakes. Tell her straight out you love her, if ever she gives you the chance again, which is more than you deserve” I took mother’s advice, and things came right the next time; but what was said I can't exactly remember, and wouldn’t put it down if I could. By the by, that policeman he never made any inquiries about 10,414; but after we’d been married about a year 1 came across him again. “Hullo, sergeant!” says I, pulling up, “I think I owe you a shilling.” He looked sour at first, thinking 1 must be chaffing him; but when he recognized me he came up and shook hands quite friendly. “No, no,” says he. “That was my share. By the way. what became of that girl?” ‘ “She’s married,” said I. “Then 1 hope you got your fare?** says he. “Yes,” says T. “Leastway, she made me a present, and only the other day, too.” “What was it?” he asked. “Twins,” says I; and it would have done you good to see that bobby laugh. He gave me another for the other twin, and offered to stand godfather if we weren’t provided. We weren’t; and he not only did his duty at the christening, but at a little spread we had afterwards he found a name to my story by calling on the company to ,drink long life and happiness to me and “My Best Fare.”—Chambers’ Journal. sti _ . . .i .* . ...

FARM AND GARDEN. PRETTY RABBIT PEN. It I« Easily Made mad Presents an Attraotire Appearance. To encourage my boy in learning the nse of tools. 1 designed and helped him make an ornamental rabbit pen (Fig. 1). A box of ineh stuff two by four feet and sixteen inches deep was procured, the top taken off and and the open part placed on the ground. Four strips each one by two inches and four feet long were nailed to the box, a cross strip of the same size two feet long being nailed in across the center to complete the framework of the foundation (Fig. A). A part of one side of the box was Tvmnvw) and fittjvl with hint's* to be

FIG. 1.— PERSPECTIVE VIEW OF RABBIT PEN. used as a flap door, and two roundtopped holes wiere cut in the front part of the box for doors between the back and front of the peu. On the foundation in front, a floor of four-foot boards was nailed, projecting a little beyond the framework. Strips like those used for the foundation were nailed in the same manner about the top of the box and floored over. On this framework five pairs of one by two-inch rafters, cut for one-fourth pitch, and projecting four inches, were securely nailed. Four strips of one and one-half by oneinch stuff were bored at intervals of one and one-half inches with a onefourth inch bit, and of these the front cage was constructed by inserting onefourth inch round iron rods cut to four-teen-inch pieces, the strips being securely nailed at top, bottom and corners. The middle pair of rafters supported a partition in the roof with a hole between the compartments. An

FIG. 2. —FKAMKWOKK OF BABBIT PEN. other hole for ingress to the at tic was left in the floor in the back room. The roof was sheathed with three-fourths-inch boards, ard a cornice fitted on eaves and gable, It was then shingled, and a neat cresting added to the comb. The back gable was boarded up with vertical 'pieces and fitted with a small hinged door. The front gable was finished by nailing on vertical slats with pointed bottom ends, made of one-half by three-fourths-inch pine. A pit was dug one and one-half by three feet in size and two feet deep, and lined with boards around the sides. The back part of the pen was placed directly over the pit Grown rabbits could jump easily from the pit into the front cage, and the little ones remained in the cage until too large to get out through the wires. Rabbits dig down in the pit and construct their own breeding places in burrows beneath the pen. The pen proved to be Warm in winter, cool in summer and well adapted for keeping rabbits. With a longhandled shovel all refuse could be easily removed from the pit through the trap door, and the pen never became offensive. With a pair of white rabbits and their young, the pen was a pretty sight at the back of the lawn, and was always attractive tit visitors. It was painted with dark red mineral paint and trimmed with white, which harmonized well with the bright green lawn and the dark green foliage of the shrubbery.—American Agriculturist. Good Pasture for Hogs. Galen Wilson, in the Practical Farmer, tells how to have pasture for hogs: Divide your lot into two fields. Sow one to oats alone at the rate of three bushels to the acre, as soon as the soil will answer to work in the spring, and about the 10th of May sow the other to sweet corn, two bushels to the acre. About the last of June, change the animals from the oat field to this corn. Then plow the oat 'field and sow to corn in the same way, and change the hogs back when necessary. If the number of hogs is rightly proportioned to area and fertility of soil there will be green feed until winter. For this purpose sweet corn is worth about fifty per cent, more than common field corn.

We Have Too Many scrubs. Too many scrubs are kept on American farms. In a land that produces such a surplus of feedstuffs at such small cost, and where pure-bred sires are now attainable at almost nominal cost, such a state of affairs is beyond comprehension. It is a disgrace to American agriculture that in this land of plenty, as respects all kinds of fodder and fattening foods, there should be such a percentage of inferior farm animals. Every farmer can replace all ill-shaped, thriftless beasts by wellformed early-maturing stock, and thousands are contributing nothing but scrubs to the low-priced, unsalable farm stock with which our country is cursed and by which our markets are flooded.—Breeders’ Gazette. How to Cure Egg Eaters. To keep chickens from eating egga keep plenty of ground bone, oyster shell and fine gravel before the flock all the time, so they may eat at will. Construct the nest in a dark place, under some shelf, and feed a little salt and meat. By doing this you will seldom be annoyed by those egg eaters. To those that have formed the habit pare off the upper mandible quite blunt and put china nest eggs in the nests. T^hey will work awhile at these artificial eggs to break them, and finding they will not yield they very often never try to eat another egg.—Farm and Home. I .\
