Kate W. Hamilton, In the Continent

I's Mission.

"Crooked ccooked crooked rang "out the sharp, peculiar, dib&onant voice, and the tall, thin figure in seedy garments and flapping hat swayed to and fro on the stump that bad been selected for a rostrum. "All things have gone crooked in this world, and I've come to set 'em straight—to undo the snarls,give the power where it belongs and put men in tbeir places. Oh—h—b, my friends

The world is topsy turvy: the top's at the bottom and the bottom's at the top, and I've come to tarn things right end up."

The 6 o'clock whistle had sounded the 1 close of another day's work at the shops, 1 and the men, pourlug out from the varijf oue smoke-stained archways paused to listen. It was a motley group—some bedaubed with many colors from the paint rooms, some with grimy bands and faoes from foundry or machineshop, while farther back, on the long platform that extended along the track, were gathored that inevitable adjunct to any crowd, the boys, and a sprinkling of women-some of the latter with children in their arms. The speaker's excitement seemed to deepen as his audience increased. The keeu eyes under the old hat dartod lightning-like glances here and there he gesticulated wildly ^audhis voice rose to a still higher pitch. "Oh—li—b yes Look at me! I'm

Ichabod Turner, and the mission I'm sent on is to mend all crookedness and turn things right end up!"

The men seemed to find a grim pleasure in the harangue. They laughed as they exchanged comments. "Chosen a good point to begin at, eh, Jack?" questioned one. "I should say so! He'll have a tough contract, even if he doesn't extend his territory." "Uotn* to set all things straight? It'll take a mightier man than yon to do that job. I wish to massy he'd begin it soon!" murmured an old woman on the platform as she picked up her bundle and trudged on again.

The two men looked after her and the elder shooked his grizzled head. '"Poorsoul! No doubt things seem crooked enough to her her boy was crushed between the cars last year. Does seem as if somebody might invent away to get along with killing fewer brakemen."

Jim Barclay, sauntering down the long walk, stopped before a bright young girl who had paused for a mouient on the other edge of the crowd. "If that fellow would begin his work by altering the days and nights a little, or my means of enjoying thetn, I'd be obliged to him," he laughed.

The girl turned with a little start of surprise and pleasure. "Why, Jim!" Then a glance at his lunota banket brought the swift question: "You're aot going out to-night It's not your run." "I must make it, though, they say. It's an extra train, and they're short of men. somehow—off or disabled. I feel «ou*!derably disabled myself."

"You were out last night?" "And all the uight before and nearly All yesterday, I didn't get in to-day until afternoon, and I w*» scarcely settled Into a comfortable sleep before I was called. I'm uot fit to go, that's a fact. Don't worry, Dell."

He broke off his sentence abruptly, as be saw the shade of anxiety on his companion's fair ikce. "It doesn't happen ao often. They're short, you see,"

k'Itoughtn't

to happen at all," insisted

Dell, Indignantly. ''1 wouldn't go." "Then my head would come off at ^afefort riotfee." toughed Jim. "\Ve can't ^a®Mrd thtt.'y

Pretty Dell flushed rosily. She knew so well what that meant. There was a little house talked over and arranged, to •every detail of its oimple furnishing, for which they two were piauulug when Jim Should obtain his hoped-for promotion. I "No, I wont lusure any necks tonight,but I'll take risk of crushing a few Mother people's heads rather than the certainly of losing my own" laughed Jim. "It*sapity that fellow whole so sure of misaion couldn't turn my brains ,right side up they fed crooked enough.

But don't worry, Dell," he repeated bur*riedly» The crowd began to thin. Hungry «men, swinging toei*empty dinner-palls, ipreeentlv feund the |rospeet of supper more alluring tbiun theatranger's promised millennium. Jint looked at his watcb, and found be had not even five tniuutes to spare for apart of the homeward walk with Dell. He parted from iher with a reluctant good-bye, and walked away alone. She had gone but «t few step*, however, when she turned And looked back. •'You be careful, Jim? Dont let anything happen." "Why, Dell!" be laughed, half touched, half wondering. "I oughtn't to have talked such nonsense. Dont be uneaay."

looked down on the network of tracks below, crossing and interlacing in a seemingly inextricable tangle.

The gray twilight of the snort autumn afternoon was night, aud the

and repassin_

rom one track to another, shone out brilliantly. Men were running here and there, waving their signal lanterns and shouting boarse orders that to one uninitiated only mingled confusedly with the heavy breathing of the locomotives and the clangor of bells. Farther back, looming in rugged outlines against the faint rose of the western sky, were the great shops, grim and silent. The brown eyes watching from the bridge presently discovered the figure they sought winding its way in and out among the trains. He did not look up, and the girl smiled at the thought of watching him unobserved. Then her face grew grave and sweet with a passing fancy that so, from tbeir height above the din and turmoil, the unseen angels look down upon our mortal life. "Only, I suppose, all the tangles and bewilderments grow clear to them, as I am sure they do not to me," she added with a little sigh. "And their watching is of some use, but mine cannot help poor Jim."

He had some need of help as the even ing wore on, though be but dimly realized it. Getting everything in readiness for starting was harder work than usual. There was a dull pain in his eyes and a throbbing in his temples. "This trip's rather rough on you Jim?" remarked a fireman, half ques tioningly, half commiseratingly. "Rather!" Jim laughed faintly. "I'm stiff and used up, but I'll get over it when we're fairly off, I expect."

When the station with its din and dancing lights was left behind, however, and the long line stretched away straight before him, his occupation became but a mere routine so treacherously familiiar that it would scarcely bold his eyes or thoughts. Mechanically he attended to bis engine, with his mind straying far away from it to Dell, and then running oddly into a confused memory of the speaker in the depot, until the swift movement of the polished rods before him seemed the motion of gesticulatii arms, and the sound in his ears resolv itself into a measured monotonous repetition of meaningless words—"Crooked and straight! Right aids up! "Hello! Caught myself napping, I do bolieve! Jim Barclay, what are you about? See here, Bill"—to bis fireman— "just keep an eye on me, will you?"

The young engineer shook himself looked about him and stood stiffly erect. He whistled a tune vigorously to assure himself that be was wide awake. What a drowsy rockaby montiou the train had! Even the jar anu rattle seemed to lull and stu pefy, though he stood erect at his post. He was glaa this sort of work was nearly over. At least he hoped it was nearly over, for he did not see how the desired promotion could be much longer delayed, and then such calls as this would be fewer. He was looking anxiously forward to the day when he could carry the longed-for tidings to Dell. Dear little giri, how her face would brighten! whatacosy, happy homoshe could make! aud she said the curtains wouldn't cost anything, and a hammock on the porch to rest in. Lights? Queer where the lights came from, unless— why, yes, almost to a station, of course, Dell must have a bright light in the window.

Alas! Bill had climbed back over the tender to look at a suspected hot-box on the after truck.

Shriek after shriek of warning from a steam whistle aided the flashing of the signal lights, and at last forced their meaning upon the benumbed brain. With a low cry of horror the engine was reversed, but too late to avert the crash that followed as the two freight trains piled upon each other in a common wreck "What possessed you to run on in that fashion, man? Were you drunk or crazy?" demanded more than one rough voice as Jim stood by the track. But only gazed with blanched face at the a&ue before him, and answered them nothing.i "Fortunately—almost miraculously, it seemed—no one was seriously injured." as the morning papers said in chroniciling the occurence. Under the same glaring headlines they also commended the promptness of the company In dismissing "the engineer whose criminal carelessness caused the disaster, aud who, as nearly as could be learned, was comfortably sleeping at his post, and so neglectful of all signals."

These, were the tidings that reached Dell instead of the glad word for which she had waited. "What thev say Is true, after a fashIon/' said Jim simply and sadly. "I was to blame for it—and yet I wasn't, for I was not fit to make the run, and I told them so."

There was no one tc chronicle bis years of taitbful service, or the "criminal carelessness," if not cruelty, which had placed bits in such a position but these things were well understood among the many workers in that railroad town, and they acknowledged to each other, with ready but helpless sympathy, that it was rough on poor Jim.'

Rough it surely grew as the long days eaifle aud went, and the hope of reinstatement grow dimmer. "All those missing men, who eouldnH be found when 1 needed a single night's rest, seemed to have turned up once more, and they can spare me indefinitely," he explained to Del), with a pretense of jocularity that scarcely covered the bitterness. The brave little woman tried to comfort and encourage him though the dandng light had gone out of her brown eyes, and new gmve lines were deepening about the young lips. The little house they had planned seemed so like the shadowy ghost of a dead hope that neither cared to talk of it any morcL and, indeed, Dell's ingenuity found full occupation now in combating the various wild schemes which Jim, in his desperation, vai constantly forming. He had been awayw took for employment, but business "was dull everywhere at this season, and, moreover, grown up In that railroad town, where all interest and industry centered In the shops and tracks, he had belonged to the line from boyhood. He could do but one thing, and there was a little chance for a situation elsewhere while the shadow of the great corporation's disapproval seemed to follow him in all his efforts like a blighting frost.

So tbebright autumn leaves dropped from the trees, leaving only brown and barren branches the soft base faded from the hills, and the narrow iron track stretching away over "the frown earth toward the cold, gray sky, looked to Dell's sorrowful eyes a fitting emblem of the dreary life-road that lay before her. •'I'm going away

hard, narrow road it was, stretching on to its cheerless goal—the far-away win try horizon.

Down on the walk by the round-house a knot of longers had gathered. Ichabod Turner's wanderings had brought him thither again—the place seemed to hold some peculiar fascination for him—and he was discoursing on his favorite theme. Suddenly a movement and murmur of excitement ran through the crowd, and its numbers were speedily augmented from various quarters of the building. Swiftly and unexpectedly the speaker had turned, and with a single bound placed himself in the cab of a locomotive that had for a moment been left nn tenanted. "It's steamed up!" "Off! off!" "Come out of that!" shouted several voices.

But Ichabod laughed hoarsely and waved his long arms triumphantly above his head. "I'm the only man on this continent that can run an engine! I'm ordered to take this one and go and turn the world right side up! Hurrah!"

Two or three persons rushed forward, but he caught up an iron bar and wielded it so vigorously that they were compelled to fall back. Then, like a flash, bis hand seized th6 throttle-lever, and the dangerous steed he had chosen began to show signs of life. "Pullhim off!" "Block the wheels." rang ont in conflicting orders. But the madman laughed again, his wild eyes gleaming like fire, and shook his bar in threatening and defiance. "Touch me if you dare! I'm sent to set crooked straight. Here comes the millennium! Clear the track for the millennium!'' i^nd he was off.

Swiftly as an arrow some one darted through the crowd, ran along the track and jumped on the engine, clinging, no one knew how, as it moved away. Dell found herself suddenly deserted, and could only move forward with the others, who were following with eyes of mingled admiration and horror, the swinging as the speed increased, until finally it forced its way into the cab. "Whataterror to be loose on the road! Who can tell what hp will run into before he can be stopped!" exclaimed one with a white face. "Jim Barclay'll manage him." "Jim'll be killed," answered dissenting voices.

Jim's unexpected appearance in the cab, meanwhile, had momentarily confused his occupant, who, until then, had not been aware of his presence. "Where did you gome from?" he demanded iu surprise. "Flew down," panted Jim "sent to help you. But what on earth do you mean by trying to start the millennium in broad daylight?" "Daylight?" repealed Ichabod, bewildered by an earnestness and assurance as fierce as his own. "Don't you know that we must wait until the stars begin to fall? Besides, we must go back and telegraph to all the world to clear the track for us!"

He was improving his companion's momentary confusion by edging into his place and crowding him back, while he urged tho superior advantage of his own plan of proceeding. All the details of that brief, horrible ride Jim tfould never clearly recall, but, with the engine once in his own hands, he held possession, and as soon as soon as it was possible reversed it, endeavoring the while to distract the other's attention by a stream of explanations concerning their joint mission. The suggestion of clearing the track seemed to suit Ichabod'a crazed brain, and seizing the cord near him he so persistently that the shrieking, deafening steam whistle drowned out all further efforts at conversation, and never ceased its terrific din until they rolled back into the great yard. Officers, potice and train dispatchers had been hastily notified, only to find themselves helpless in the matter, and a line of anxious spectators watched the engine's return. Then, discovering for the first time that his project was foiled, or bent upon some new scheme—no one could tell which—Ichabod suddenly dropped the cord, and, before his companion could surmise his intention, leaped to the track. A moment later he was drawn from under the cruel wheels and tenderly lifted. "So endeth—the first lesson," he murmured, and then all earthly tangles for him were over, and life's rough places grew smooth and plain.

Jim was greeted with congratulations, praises and questions on every side. "That was a brave deed of yours, sir— a dangerous undertaking, very skillfully planned and executed," declared an officer of the road, with a congratulatory shake of the hand. "It far more than cancels that little misfortune of yours last fall. There is no telling where this thing might have ended, but for you. Call around at the office in the morning, will you? We shall have something to say to you." "What does that mean?" questioned eager Dell, as Jim made his Way to her side. "It means that everything is all right again," answered Jim, with an odd smile playing about his lips. "Queer how soon a bit of success can change a great crime into merely 'a little misfortune.'"

The excitement was over, and the vard slowly settled back to its ordinary routine, but the young engineer and pretty Dell lingered for a last, pitying, tender glance at the still form reverently covered now. "For whatever he may have been to the rest of the world, dear Jim, for us be fulfilled his mission," said the girl, softly.

to get relief.

A Genuine Victory.

Dio Lewis. 1

A colored man of sixty-four years came to me with a sore heart. The "Old Woman" was his torment. His rheumatism was awful, but nota "smudgin" of liniment would she rub on it. He had stood it as long as hp could, and now he was determined to bring her down. He had beard of divorces, and wonld have one if it cost five dollars.

Upon inquiry I found that he oould not work, and that his wife supported him by washing and house-cleaning. He admittted that if he left her he must go to'the poor-house, but he didn't care if he went to prison, he wouldn't bear that miserable creature another day.

I asked for a bill of particulars. In the first place she was that hateful that she would not give him a mouthful of breakfast unless she got up and ate When she did, and he sometimes was so bad with rheumatism he could not get up so early, in the seoond place the doctor had told him that salt pork was poison to his joints, and that he must eat freshmeat, but she would get nothing but the very saltest pork. In the next place he had a perfect cure for his rheumatism, but she would not rub it ou. Then what right had a wife anyway to dictate to her husband—the head of the house. This last he repeated so often, it was clearly a case of wounded dignity.

I advised that he tried once more to fetch her to terms. "Would you like to bring her to her knees," I asked. "You bet, Boss but how can I do it? She weighs more'n 200 is as Btrong as a horse, and quick as a cat. You see. Boss, I only weigh 115, and my old bones is full of rheumatism." "Heap coals of fire on her head," I suggested. "I tried biling water wunst, but, Lordy Massy, she licked me e'en a'most to death for it. I shouldn't dare to try coals. I aint no morb'n a baby in her hands. No, Boss, coals wouldn't work, no how."

Our conversation brought out the fact that they belonged to the same church, that the minister had tried to show her that she was the weaker vessel, and that In the marriage ceremony, she had promised to obey. It seems that at the mention of "the weaker vessel' she had stretched out her immense arms and laughed derisively. "I tell you, Boss, she pretends to be a scripture woman, but she done forgets all her marriage vows, and treats me like a dog. Boss, I hain't told you all, I'm real 'shamed to tell you that she keeps a whip, and has licked ire lots o' times." "And now you would like to bring her to her knees?" "Wouldn't I, BOBS! If I could bring her down I would give my life."

I asked him to tell Amanda that I wished to see ner, but not to mention that we had spoken of their quarrel. She came, and I was not surprised that she had whipped her husbaod. She was a splendid, gieat animal, evidently of the fiercest.

Matt dropped it soon to see if I could comfort him. I told him that his case seemed unpromising. "You see now," said he, "that coals of fire won't work."

I had helped to untie many domestic knots, but I saw little hope in this case. I asked if he would manage exaotly as I should advise. He would do anything, if he could only fetch her down. "Who prepares the kindling wood for h^r fires?" ''I used to, and would now, if she would treat me decent." "Who builds her fires the morning?" "Ialways did, but now my rhematism is bad, and then I won't anyway, she treats me so mean." "What else did you used to do for her, that you don't do now?" "I used to take her clothes home, and do lots of things, but I won't do a thing for her now."

"Will you do as I advise?" 1 •'I will, if it is anything I can do!" "If you will do what I advise, I agree to help you through with your troubles." "If you will help me fetch her down, I will do everything." "I am afraid you will not have courage." "Don't be afraid, I will do all you say." "Go home, prepare a large quantity of kindlings, get up to'morrow morning early, build the fire, keep it going, think over all the things you used to do for her and do every one of them just as well as you can. Keep it up two days aud then come again. You see we must have powerful proof that she is unreasonable and cruel, and that you do everything for her."

I waited for Matt's return with much curiosity. When be came again, a few days later, I was struck with bis puzzled and emJbarrassed manner. He was almost disinclined to conversation, which was in strong contrast with bis volubility in our previous interview. I saw the situation, and simply said to him, after learning that he had kept his promise: "Now I wish you to on in this way, do everything you can think of for her, and to-morrow after you have got the fire built say to her: 'Amanda, I have done for you what I ought to do. and I am sorry. You have done a great deal of hard work for me, and I don't ask you to do it any longer. I have got the rheumatism, am getting old, ana won't stay in youf war another day.' You must say it just as lovingly as y6u can, for you know we must be able to show that while you are affectionate, and do everything for her comfort and happiness^he is cruel and hard. Just as you are coming away, say to her

Atnarida, if you get sick at any time, and yt£ will let me come, I will do all lean »ryou.' Now if you will do all this h'Virtily, and she is still hard and cruel, *Ve shall have a good case against her."

Poo^Matt seemed less talkative than in on previous interviews, and I thought 1 understood it. But I pretended not to see, and urged him to go on gently, lovingly. He promised, and disappeared. The next evening he did not come, but I met him in the street a few days later, and was amused with his embarrassment. I urged him to step into my carriage, and on the way to my office, he told me that he had not come to see me as be bad promised because be was so busy, etc.—the usual fibs.

I laughed, and seising bis band, said: "Come now. Matt, tell me. all about it." Thus challenged, he said

Well, Boss, the truth is, before I got through saying what yon told me to say, Amanda put her big arms around me and took me right into her lap, and ever sinse ahe has treated ne like I was her real husband. Boea, I was never so

happy in all my life, and mv rbenma tism is all gone. But Boas, I must go home right away, cause I am afraid she will want something."

Once, a vear or two later, Matt aired his dignity the hfl»d of the bouse, and there was a Htle trouble, bat for years, andmiil thc\old man's death, he waa very }*ppy*l* his domestic life and when ^ediet «manda gave bim a nire fanen. andf wrely mourned his ab-

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements introduced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss' Gold Watch Case, have led to similar improvements in the making of silver cases.

Under the old methods, each part of a silver case was made of several pieces of metal Aoldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and sdldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.

Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made of one solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily apparent, for every one knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it.

To test the superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oi. weight, press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enough to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver cap and gold joints.
