THE "RACQ VET."

A ftep, a slide, A frantic glide, A delirious plunge between A kick to the left, a rush to the right— They must be crazy (they can't be right,)

Oh! what can isuch actions mean?

Tis that and nothing more.

The Dead Baby Footprints.

J. W. F. M., in Detroit News.

"Well, 'cause I want yer to stop it, that's all, or I'll warm the wax in yer ear!" "I'll make all I've a mind ter for all you, Joe Corebar!"

Ye -will, will yer?" and the man rose and made a lunge at the apprentice boy who had thus so annoyed him, but who nimbly got away just in the nick of time.

Joe sat down again to a continuation of his dinner, grumbling something about what he would do to the boy when he caught him. while the men seated around the stove laughed at the irascible -old man who had expressed so much temper at such a trifle as that of a little lad marking the soft, pliable moulding sand with imitation of baby footstep, which he formed very naturally with his lingers. "Why, Joe, old

shopinate, what's

stirred y'e up liko yon lau, that ye can't let the boy play himself?" "Did ye see what he was making?" replied the man addressed. "Aye lad! wee baby footprints in the sandf But what o' that?" "Ah, man! if you but knew what sorrowful recollections them marks brought up to mo you wouldn't wonder at my hating the sight o' them!" "Well, my heartv! give us the story. It wants the half hour till bell time yet." iivo me time to fill my pipe then, and I'll let you have my reasons for stopping Hani at what ho was alxmt yonder!"

While the old man is thus encaired in preparing the workingman's solace, the reader is invited to take a seat in the crowd of workingmen and listen. The place is simply the interior of a soot begrimed foundry, whero but little of the romantic might lie supposed to congregate. The time is the noon hour, and the audience some dozen of iron moulders taking their dinners out of the well known receptacle that denotes a "knight of the dinner can," who are seen morning and ovening on tho streets of any large city.

The old man. thus uncoutlily presented to our notice, was one of tlio best workmen in the shop, but noted for his taciturn disposition, though tho same was divested of any real boorishness. Joe Corebar was qufte a character, and iiad been in his younger days, according to his own storv, a swearing, drinking, reckless fellow,'but, in somo strangely mysterious way, ho had changed, soJtorcd down, experienced religion, joining church, of which he was a consistent and useful member.

The prospect of hearing a story from Joe Corebar caused a hurried conclusion to the dinner, and after tho noisy clatter had finally oenscd that marked the closing of tho dinner cans, all gathered closer to the old man, who in the meantime iiad filled ami lighted his pipe, and, all being attention, he began as follows: "Well, lniys, it was in the year '63 when the cholera was so bad, that I was working in the old Vulcan foundry in llulValo. I was a young fellow at the time, who cared for nothing only 'fun' as wo called it, though praise »od! it's all gone now and jmssed forever. Moulders in thoso days were, as a class, far different to what they are now. I am thankful to say, and while thero is still plenty of room for improvement, lxys, tho ofd days wero much worse. Our shop was situated in tho very worst part of the city, tho 'hooks' and drunkenness and profligacy of all kinds run riot among the men, and I am ashamed to say that I was as Iwul as the worst of th'em. "However, work was plenty ami money flush, and we didn't care much, although the people wero dying by the hundreds in the plague-stricken city. We earned our money like horses, and on Sat unlay and Sunday spent it liked —donkeys—just as you, Tom lleadstiek, aw doing yet," said tho old man, addressing a man beside him.

Tom lleadstiek, knocked the ashes out of his pipe at this rejointer, and grumbled something about its "being nolxxiy's business," as ho threw a"gagger" at an itinerant rat on tho other side of tho shop. "Ah! well, keep on, thy lad, and ye'll see one o' these days,"'continued Joe "Uod gnuit, however, that ye don't get the awful awaking I did to bring ye to yer senses. But tlpn't interrupt me again," Joe continued, ignoring the fact of his own diversion, Where was I?" "Yes! I remember!" "In tho shop with us was a young, soft, girl-like looking fellow named Frank Clifford who came from some country town across the lines, and nicknamed bv us'Canada.' He had brought his wife* him, and I seed her for the first time at the Itoarding house, and I made up my mind that as the Lord had made them he had matched them, for she had more the look of a girl of fourteen than that of a married woman. She was a slim delicnto looking little thing, with great blue eyes, always looking as though they were going to cry, and a gmit wealth"of l»eoutiful golden hair, ller chin had a tremble in it as though she was frightened, and in fact the toor little woman was very much out of her element and kind o' strange, as it was the first time she had ever been in a city. Hut site had a little babv, the tiniest mite of a thing yon ever saw, boys, and when she would be seaUnl in a-corner with the little creature on her kn&s, she reminded me of a girl witn a wax doll, ller husband was very fond .of her, and as I boarded at the same house I could hear them Wiling And cooing together and petting the baby, in which their lives seemed bound up. "(iod forgive me for it. bovs, but some-how au this love between Clifford and his doll wife, together with their liftbv, made mo hate them. I don't know how it was, but the more I saw of them the more the devil within me seemed to prompt me to torment them. "Frank Clifford was not much of a workman, and seemed so soft and green that he was made the butt for all practical jokes and anuoranoas in the shop, which he bore with the most exemplary patience, lie had no bad habits, would not smoke, drink, or plav cards: he was

swallowed up in his wife and baby, and very religious. What ever brought them to Buffalo I never new, unless"— and the old man meditatively paused— "unless it was that I might be brought near to God. "I'was the leader of all the deviltry in the shop, and for my pranks would

itig

Have

often been discharged, only that I was

pretty good hand. So I took my fill of tormentinjg poor Frank, taking advantage of his verdancy, and playing all kinds of practical jokes upon nim. Of course the rest of the boys took their c«e from me, and contrived* every possible means annoyance to create a laugh at Clifford's expense. "All this he bore with the most wonderful patience and good humor, but he also knew who was the originator of it all. How the poor fellow did try to conciliate me. He came to me time and again, and pleaded with me to befriend him told bow he had come to the states to get a better insight into the business he was an orphan, and was his wife, and how he had to struggle alone, but that God had taken care of then so far, and oh! if I would only befriend him, and help him with his work, how grateful he we would be to me. All this and more 'Canada.' as we all called him, told me with tears in his eyes, and of course I

romised to do everything for him that wanted, and he seemed so grateful but that same night his boots, when he went to put them on (for he was very particular about how he appeared. before his little lady wife) were full of clay wash, and his dinner can had a dead cat in it.

Finally he gave up trying to conciliate us the coarse jokes went on as before, and he bore it all in a brave, silent patience that makes my heart ache even yet as I remember it. Still, he was a manly little chap, as one fellow found out to his cost who passed a scurrilous joke about Frank's wife. In a moment the chap was stretched in a corner senseless and bleeding like a stuck pig from a blow from an iron clamp Frank had thrown at him, and it took two of us to hold the little fellow or he would certainly have killed the chap that insulted his wife. As it was it cost him several days to get over the stroke of the iron clamp.

After that we confined ourselves to playi hims

ng practical jokos with Clifford elf, imself, and took good care to leave his wife alone. "As the weather grew hotter tho cholera kept getting worse. Several men had died out of our own shop, but instead of making us feel the serious nature of the situation it only made us worse, if possible, and drinking, swearing and carousing was kept up as usual. "One morning in July, Frank Clifford was absent from work when the bell rang. This was the more-to be wondered at, as ho had not lost a day in the six weeks he had been in the shop. 'Where's Canada?' was the cry but no 'Canada' came. We took advantage of his absence to disarrange his tools, patterns and other matters connected with his work, expecting him on at 'quarter time. But he didn't come and when I went home to my dinner—which I did on purpose that day to find out what tho trouble was, not that I cared, mark you! for I bitterly hated him—I learned that 'Canada's' wife had been seized that morning with tho cholera and had died at 11 o'clock, in the hospital.

Do you know, boys, I was glad when I heard that! Yes! you may well look astonished, but as tins story is in some sort a confession, I admit the devil was in me big enough to be glad at hearing of tho death of that sweet, gentle, little woman. "Now, says I to myself, wo'll get rid of that botch of a whining hypocrite, and get another good follow of our own stripo in his place, and I went to work with no more feeling for that broken hearted man and his motherless baby than though he and it were dogs! "I told the boys with a laugh when I wont down to the shop that 'Canada's' milk faced wife had turnod up her toes and kicked the bucket, and I remember wondering that in place of the laugh I expocted to create, a look of horror spread over every face, and I went to my work with a sheepish feeling that I hadn't been funny worth a cent. "Ah, boys, I was a tough hearted one them days! "It was nearly a weok before we saw 'Canada' again, and at first when he did como to work I hardly knew him. His faco had a pinched look, and there were large dark circles around his eyes. He was received with great kindness by tho boys, which made mo mad even Ben Konouse, that ho had knocked over with tho clamp, anno up and shook hands with him, and told nim to 'brace tip.' I didn't, however, but bawled out, 'Hello, Canada, what yer dono with tho baby now, its mammy's dead?' He turned and give me such a sad, sorrowful look that I think must have been like the look Christ gave tho brute that struck him in tho face in Pilate's hall,and said, quiet liko, 'Gono homo to God with its mother, Joe!" "That's all ho said, but it went right to mv heart as though I had been shot. Hut I wouldn't show I felt it, though I kept quiet all the afternoon! "Clifford did his day's work, however, like a man. He was working on small stuff, and was very neat in fixing up his sand heap every night, smoothing it with his shovel so that wo used to say 'Canada' was more particular with his sand heap than with nis molds. "The next day he came to work at the usual hour, but seemed to be kind of tlighty, and would stop and talk to his partner about seeing his wife and child every night since they died. "Ihis put a new, devilish idea into my head when I saw that 'Canada' was inclined to 1)6 superstitious, and I began to rack my brain as to how I could take advantage of the fact. "That same evening 'Canada' was more particular than ever about getting his sand heap in order. He had smoothed it all day along the top with his shovel so that it looked liko a well finished mold, though at the same time all the castings he had made that dav were 'wasters,' "All at once mv plan took form, and after 'Canada' had gone out of the shop I went to work and printed baby's feet all along the top of his smooth sand heap, so that you would have sworn that some barefooted little child had been walking on tho sand heap from one end to the other. Having thus arranged what I considered thebest of the thousand tricks I had ever played on 'Canada,' I started for home laughing in anticipation of the frightened astonishment of 'Canada' in the morning. "I was down first to the shop the next day and told the boys I had the boss

oice on 'Canada,' and to look out for a laugh. I may say here that though the boys had given up plaguing him, still what with men coming and going, and the caraltws indifference of all to suffering, poor 'Canada* and his sorrows wore to nls shopmatos of the past. When he at last came in—which he did a few minutes before the bell rang, I went up to him and said: 'Canada, I want to show von something come over here!' and I fed him over to the sand heap. "'There, old boy, the ghost of your babv was here last night! See how she has'tramped all over your sand heap!' "He stood gazing in astonishment,be

ing evidently ignorant of the trick of printing baby feet which every moulder now knows. 'I guess the old woman will come tomorrow night to see you, 'Canada,' so you better stay down here and see her and the baby!'* "He dropped the dinner can be held in nis hand, and with a screech so horribly unearthly in its manner that I have never forgotten it from that day to this, he rushed from the shop. "We had a little Scotchman, named Archie Drummond, working on the loam floor at the time. Archie had just started to work, but saw and heard the whole affair, as did most of the other men, and as I turned to my work he cried out: 'Weel, Joe Corebar, of a' the infernal deevels I ever kenned ye are ane o' the warst!' 'You come over here and tell me that if ye dare, Scotty!' I replied. He said not a word, but though he was a man twenty pound lighter than myself, he came running over to me, and to make a long story short, boys, he in two or three minutes gave me the most powerful thrashing lever had in my life, and the boys all cried, 'Give it to him, Scotty! Give it to him!' "The boss came in just then, and the foreman told him the whole story from beginning to end, and I was ordered to the office to get my pay and wfts discharged. I at once went on a spree, and for two or three weeks didn't draw a sober breath. At the end of that time, while coming down Commercial street one afternoon, I was taken deathly sick, stricken down in the street with the cholera. I was taken to the hospital unconscious, where I lay tossed with pain, till delirium set in, and then I lost all knowledge of everything. "How long I lay in this condition I know not, but when I woke who should I find seated at my bedside? You can't guess, boys. Frank Clifford! 'Canada,' as we called him. "O, the shame of the moment—when I saw the sad, pale face and the great, melting blueeyes looking with such tender compassion upon me. I turned my face to the wall and wept. 'Joe, my boy, do you know me?" he gently whispered, taking my hand. What could I say boys, only—Oh Frank, can you forgive me for my horrible treatment of you?' "'Yes, Joe, I can, even as I trust that God forgives me! get well, old boy, get well, and we won't say any more about it.' "And I did get well for a strange wonder where so many better people died, but it was largely owing to 'Canada,' for he never left me nursing. He had happened to pass at the moment I was stricken down with the awful disease and knew me. He got a conveyance and had mo taken to the hospital at once, which was certainly tho means of saving my life. He brought me from the brink of the grave, and never left me till I was able to be out again. But above all, boys, he showed me the way to a better manhood than I had ever known before, so that from that hour I have constantly strove to be what you know me, a christian man. "Frank Clifford, when Ills good work was done, returned alone to Canada, where, I bolieve, he afterward became a minister but I shall never forget him, nor his good-bye hand-shake to the man he had saved. "Can you wonder, then, at my feeling as I did when little Sam was making those prints in the sand, boys?"

The bell at that moment rang one o'clock, and all resumed their labor, none the worse for the story by old Joe Corebar. ____________
