But then I’ve heard my mother say-V ’N’ father he’d agree— ’A t lots o’ other little chaps Wuz back’arder than me._ *N’ when I tried t’ Tarn t’ walk. Though no great knack I showed. The neighbors say I wasn’t no worse ’An half the ones they knowed; ’N’ I, when’t come t’ say in’ things, Wuz sort o’ middlirf’ quick— Beat piles o’ chaps, but other piles Jest beat me clean ’n’ slick. ■’N’ then at last I went t’ school, ’N’ lamed t’ read ’n’ spell: •Bout half the class done better’ll me; ’Bout half done not so well.

iklZ£{l/l5lO/ME. |f- _ SM A £ L and rickety wagon with a sagging, ragged can va s

!>ver was coming down tae onosnone trail, drawn by a bony and feeble old iorse. A woman in a limp calico sunonnet and dust-covered dark calico >wn sat up on the front seat hqlding the reins. She had never beep a pretty woman, and she was long past her youth. Her straight black hair was ^plentifully streaked with gray; her < heavy gray eyes and her sallow cheeks Overe sunken; the corners of her mouth Jkad a downward curve; she was hol-low-chested, and when she coughed, ■which was frequently, one of her longfingered, toil-worn hands was clasped to her breast She was alone in the wagon. She had come alone in it from a little un-heard-of town away back in Vermont The newspapers in the towns along the route had had a great deal to say about this lone woman going from Ver-.. jnont to the Rocky mountains alone in a little old wagon, moving at a snail’s pace in this day of “flyer” and ‘’thunderbolt” express trains, speeding along over the same route. But Martha Kinney had not seen the papers, and she did not know nor care how often she had been referred* to as “a lone and lorn female,” nor how many feeble witticisms had been perpetrated at her expense. And she knew why she had chosen to come all those weary miles in the old wagon instead of by rail. She was a silent woman, and she had hot given the curious minded much information when they had asked her where she was from and where she was going, and why she traveled as she did. She would say briefly that she was “from Vermont” and that she was going “out west,” and none of her questioners evfer knew how wildly her heart was beating, nor what it cost her to maintain a calm demeanor when she sometimes asked with affected carelessness if they “happened to know anyone by the name of Dave Kinney ’round

here?” She continued to ask this question in -every town through which she passed, and when asked who and what Dave Kinney was she would say carelessly: “Oh, he’s a man I used to know back in Vermont, a carpenter, though he 3 „ ’-could turn his hand to most anything. We was born in the same town and he came out west a good many years ago * and ain’t never been back to Vermont since. I don’t know just where he settled and 1 thought it might be barely possible that he’d settled ’round here -some place.” She, would have been glad to have been told that David Kinney was dead.> Better this than to know that he was’ alive and unfaithful to the wife he had left in the little Vermont town when ;he went “out west” years ago. He had written often at first, and his letters had been kindly and affectionate. He had said that he would send for her when he had “struck it rich” in «the mountains or when things became “a little more civilized” and “a fit place for a woman to live in.” Until then it would be better for her to stay in her comfortable, if humble, Vermont borne. His letters had been mailed at various •post offices and he had written about ■being “very unsettled” and that was

another reason why he could not send for her. He was “prospecting,” he wrote, and he might “make his pile any day.” Then his letters had become more and more irregular and finally they had failed her entirely. Her own letters were returned from the dead letter office and, after ten years of weary waiting for news of David Kinney, his wife had sold her poor possessions and had bought a horse and wagon and had started “out west” to fidd the husband who had deserted her. “Not that I’ve any idea of finding him alive,” she had said to her Vermont friends “I’m satisfied in my own mind that Dave Kinney is dead. But it’ll be a comfort to me to stand bv his grave and to have it prove to me that the lies folks have told about him desertin’ me are lies. Dave Kinney is dead and I’m going to search the whole west over until I’ve found his grave and there I’ll make my home and have my worn out body laid beside him when I’m gone, too.” She had gone through every cemetery and had stopped at every grave or little cluster of graves by the roadside along her route. She had asked graveyard sextons so many questions that they had spoken of her afterward as “som& poor crazy thing wandering over the country. ” Although she declared to her friends that she knew very well that David Kinney was dead, there was never a moment whenJshe did not, in the secret recesses of her poor, troubled heart, feel that he might still be alive, and if he were! Her heart almost ceased beating at the thought To find him alive would be to find him unfaithful to her, for what could he do or what Could he say to prove that he had not deserted her?

“But maybe he thinks that I’m dead,” she would say, eager to find some excuse for the man she still loved. “There was a woman named Martha Kinney died, over in Peabody, the next town to ours, a few years ago, and David may have heard of her death and thought that she was me.” And then she would remember that she had not heard from David for a year before this other Martha Kipney’s death, and her fears and doubts, her perplexity and despair, would increase. She had been away from her Vermont home a year on the day that she came down the Shoshone pass in the old wagon that could not hold together for many more miles, while the feeble footsteps and the labored breathing of the old horse indicated that his hours were numbered . David had written to his wife once from the town of Shoshone, and she. felt that it would seem a little like being near him if she could but tread the ground his feet had once trod. Shoshone was almost deserted now. Three-fourths of its cabins were empty, but Martha hoped that there might still be some one left who had known David Kinney. She clasped her hands to her wildly beating heart when she thought that David Kinney himself might be there. - She was driving slowly down the mountain side, when the feeble old horse stumbled and fell heavily to the ground within fifty yards of the great Shoshone mine, the only mine of any value in all that gulch. Two or three miners came hurrying forward to Martha’s assistance. One of them lifted the horse’s head and let it fall again, saying: “Why, the poor beast is dead.” Martha climbed down from the wagon and looked at the poor, faithful old horse with tear-dimmed eyes. “I don’t know how in the world I am to go on,” she said. “You can’t go any farther to-night, ma’am,” said another man in a tone so kindly that it belied his rough, almost savage appearance. “I guess we can take care of you at the mine for tonight, and we’ll see what can be done about your wagon to-morrow. Come, Judkins, let’s push it back out of the road, and, Simpson, you take the lady up to the captain’s house, and they will make her comfortable there. Mrs. Dennie ain’t the person to turn any woman away. You’ll be made welcome, ma’am.” “The captain” was the sole owner of the great Shoshone mine. He happened to beat the mine now with his wife and their beautiful little boy. They came to the mine often in the summer time, and for that reason the captain had built a strikingly beautiful little cottage at the mine, and had furnished it with a degree of elegance that amazed those who saw it amid its wild and barren surroundings fifty miles from a railroad. But nothing that his great wealth

“BEG PARDON, MA'AM,” SAID SIMPSON. could buy was lacking' in the life of the captain’s wife and child. Mrs. Dennie was sitting out on a pretty piazza when Martha Kinney and Simpson drew near. “Beg pardon, ma'am,” said Simpson, touching his old hat, “but this lady met with an accident down on the pass and can’t go on any farther to-night; Higgins said I’d better fetch her up here.” “That was just the thing to do, Mr. Simpson,” said the captain's wife, rising and coming forward with a smile that had long ago mads eyery man at the mine swear that if erer there Was a V ■

"real lady” in that gulch that lady waa the captain’s wife. Her manner now was certainly that of a kindly, gracious woman who paid no heed to Martha Kinney’s manifest poverty after she had looked into her j honest careworn face and sorrowful j eyes. There was something in her manner that appealed to the captain's wife, j and she said gently: “I am sorry to know of the accident whatever it waa I hope we can remedy it for you. In the meantime yon must ; be my guest You look very tired and j you must let me make you acup of tea, j and won’t yon come in and lie down a little while? There is a couch in the j room you will have.” ( “I thank you, ma’am,” replied Mar- j tha, "and I will lie down if you will let j me. I feel just about beat out” She put her hand to her hollow chest > and coughed heavily before adding: “I , hate to make you any trouble.” “Oh, please don’t think that you are I making trouble for anyone,” said Mrs. i Dennie as she led the way into a room rich and beautiful with soft rugs and ; handsome draperies. There was a lux- j urious couch in a corner of the room j and Mrs. Dennie said: “You will find water and towels here j if you would like to bathe your hands , and face and then you can lie down and . I will have your tea ready very soon. ” | She was leaving the room when Martha said: “Did the man who brought me here call you Mrs. Dennie?” "Yes, that is my name” “I used to know of a family of that name back in Vermont.” “Did you, indeed? They may have been distant relatives of my husband’a I’ll ask him when he comes home. He rode over to Crystal Gulch this afternoon, but I am expecting him home every moment. ** ‘Dennie,’ ‘Dennie,’ ” repeated Mrs. Kinney to herself when she was left alone, "that was my husband’s mother's maiden name. These people may

HE STOPPED AJJD STAKED WILDLY TOWARD HER. be some kin of his and they may know something1 about David. I must know before I sleep.” Five minutes later Capt Dennie entered the room not knowing that it was occupied. He was a tall, broadshouldored, heavily-bearded man evidently much older than his wife. He was half-way across the room when Martha Kinney suddenly rose to a sitting position on the couch. “Oh, I beg your pardon, madam,” said the captain, “I didn’t know that—” He stopped and stared wildly at her, for she had risen and was coming slowly toward him, breathing heavily with one bony hand clutching at her throat. Her white lips were moving, but they made no sound until one of her trembling hands rested cn his shoulder, then she said in a mere whisper: “David!” He shrank from her toward f the door, his face as pallid as her own and his own voice a husky, frightened whisper as he said: 0 “Martha! My God! My God! Mir* tha!” “It is I, David,” she said, gently following him across the room with outstretched hands and streaming eyes. “Oh, I am so glad, so glad, David! I was going to ask Mrs. Dennie if—•” “Mrs. Dennie!” ejaculated the captain. “Have you seen her? My God, Martha, you haven’t told my wife that—” “Your wife? Why, David, David, I— 1—0, David!” She fell heavily forward with both hands clasped over her face. He caught her in his arms and half carried, halfdragged her to the couch and laid her down upon it She did not speak again, and threje minutes later when Mrs. Dennie entered the room the captain was kneeling by a dead woman, who had one hand clasped tightly abound the finger on which was her wedding ring as if to prevent it from being taken from her. “Why, David, how ghastly white you are!” eried Mrs. Dennis. “And you are trembling like a leaf. And this poor woman—why, David, is she dead?” “Yes, yes, dear,” he said, huskily, “I —I—I never saw anyone die before, and it—it—has quite unnerved me. Come, let us go out of the room.” He rose to his feet pale and trembling, and walked unsteadily across the floor, with his wife’s arras around him. When they reached the door be glanced back fearfully .over one shoulder, and the arm he had around his wife’s waist trembled so violently that she said:

"wny, uavia, you are positively m. Tou must go right to bed.” The men at the mine and even Mrs. Dennie accepted it simply as an indication of the captain’s great-hearted gen* erosity when he telegraphed to Denver for a splendid coffin and a silken sbropd in which to lay the poor, wayfaring woman who had died under his roof. And they said it was ‘‘just like the captain,” when he had a handsome marble monument placed over the grave down in the gulch below the mine. It was a nameless monument, and the captain alone knew the name that ought to have been chiseled oa it. Sometimes in the darkness and stillness of the night he stood in tearful penitence above the lonely grave with the name upon his lips.--Detroit .Free Frees

DUN’S COMMERCIAL REVIEW. Fair Business Still Maintained in Spite of Obstacles—Long Strikes an<* Export* of Gold Tend to Cheek but Cannot Destroy the Wonderful Recuperative Energies of the Country—A Great Reduction Hr Failures. New York, May 26.—R. G. Dfei & Co.'s weakly review of trade issued today says: Storms and floods, prolonged strikes and large exports of gold, have done their utmost this week to give business a vacation. But the wants unsatisfied during the past year, belated and much lessened, and yet greater than those of any other nation, have caused a volume of trade quite large for the season. The strikes do not appear near an end. and while violence and bloodshed have occurred at a few points, many of the operators are making no effort to work their mines. The lack of fuel has stopped practically the whole of the Edgar Thomson and parts ol other Car- J negie works, many establishments between the" Hudson and the Mississippi, and even the waterworks of a few western cities. Railroad traffic is as yet affected very little, but weeks of idleness for so many either participating in or affected by the strikes must lessen purchasing power and demand for goods, and so cloud an outlook which had begun to seem brighter. Goldjexports do not abate, but have been #4,600.000 this week, though at one time Europe had purchased $1-500,000 of American securities. Prices of great staples show how limited is the foreign demand, and imports of goods, much restricted at present, would naturally increase after the pending change of duties. The $23,000,000 gold shipped abroad this month has been largely drawn from the treasury by redemption of notes, and the reserve remaining for that purpose has been reduced to about $80,000,000, Hence there are anticipations of some change in the money market, and although currency still continues to come higher from the interior and the banks hold an enormous supply of idle money, long loans are more difficult to negotiate. Prices of products still tend downward v. ithout much speculation. Wheat recovered a little at the end of last week, but went down again with decidedly favorable prospects for the coming yield. Atlantic exports being only 755.491 bushels, against 1,982,206 last year, while western receipts for the week were 1,423.153 bushels, against 3.068,266 last year. It is not surprising that farmers retain wheat at present prices where they can. Corn is stronger, notwithstanding large receipts and insignificant exports. Cotton has recovered a shade to 7(4 cents, though receipts for the week were nearly as large as last year, and exports much smaller. Pork products all declined with heavy receipts, and eoffee is also lower. The astonishing cheapness of wheat and cotton will affect the rapidity of movement in the fall, also will directly lessen the amount of money required in moving the crops. While the iron industry especially, and many others to some extent, have been restricted by scarcity of coal and coke, the number of works resuming has been greater than the number stopping from other causes. But it is a symptom not to be overlooked that the demand for manufactured products, instead of increasing, appears for the moment rather smaller than before, and indifference of buyers is shown in cancellation of orders hitherto given. It is a waiting season, but the disposition to wait is this year much intensified. Works in operation are fairly busy in closing up orders for a belated spring demand, but there is ever more shrinkage in orders for the future than was noticed last year as the precursor of coming dullness. In the woolen manufacture this is especially true, except as to dress goods, which are in fair demand, and sales of 3.261.215 pounds wool against 2.394,650 last year, if not partly speculative, would represent much less than a full consumption. There appears no increased demand for cotton goods, and manufacturers have agreed that the accumulation of print cloths, which now sell at 2.69 cents for 64s, must presently be checked by suspending production. The boot and shoe industry gives more evidence of improvement than any other and the shipments from Boston, according to the Shoe and Leather Reporter, again exceed those of the same week last year. There is considerable buying from stocks, and some pressure for speedy delivery on orders, and while there is general improvement, it is observed especially in woman’s goods. The demand for iron and steel products, in view of the stoppage of a large proportion of the works, might be expected to improve materially, and prices are in fact held at the advance recently noted, but there is now observed much indifference among large consumers, and the evidence of an enlarging demand seems to be less satisfactory than before the strike. Minor metals are weaker with restricted demand, copper being quoted at 944 cents for lake, and lead at 3.3 cents. A speculative movement lifted stocks early in the week, but'there has since been constant sagging, so that the average for tha week is 23 cents per hundred higher for railway shares and 1.35 cents per share for trusts. Storms and floods have caused some interruption to traffic and damage to roads, and extensive rate cutting on east-bound roads is formally charged. Earnings continue to decrease, and thus far in May have been 17.1 per cent, smaller, than a year ago. The losses are nearly equal at the east and at the west, and somewhat greater than at the south. There is some improvement in lower class west-bound tonnage, but much decrease in manufactured goods, hardware and lumber. The combination has decided to restore lake and rail rates June 7, except for grain, which is to be lower. Exchanges through clearinghouses compare favorably for the week, being only 18.1 per cent, smaller than last year. Failures diminish in importance, the amount of liabilities for the third week in May being only $2,204,139, and for the three weeks $7,836, 972, of which $2,642,687 were of manufacturing and $5,025,007 of trading concerns. The number of failures reported this week is 183 in the United States against 259 last y6ar, and in Canada 28 against 14 last year. TESTING ARMOR PL&TES,

A Trial of Interest to Government Ordnance Experts. Washington, May 26. — At Indian Head proving ground a 17-inch armor plate, typical of the turrets of the battleship Massachusetts, will be attacked by the 12-inch rifle under conditions similar to those of last Saturday, which resulted in demolishing an 18-inch plate at the first shot. The result of the trial is awaited with unusual interest by the ordnance experts on the contention made by the steel contractors that the Harveyizing process is unsuited for plates of over twelve inches thickness as severe internal strains are developed by the treatment that render the steel exceedingly brittle. This idea has been combatted by naval officers, who declare that the faults discovered are more probably due to the lack of sufficient care exercised by the manufacturers. The contemplated trial is expected to throw much light on the subject. The French Cabinet Crisis. Paris, May 26.—President Carnot again summoned M. Bourgeois to the palace yesterday afternoon. This action was taken on the strength of M. Peytral’s statement to the president, upon declining, yesterday morning, to undertake the formation of a ministry, that he would accept a portfolio in a cabinet headed by M. Bourgeois. M. Bourgeois remained in conference with the president a short time, but was inflexible in his determination not to undertake the construction of a ministry and withdrew. President Carnot then summoned M. Brissou
