SORROW,

What Is It, yon ask me, That changee us so And raakwi u» all different

In this world below? Ah, my dear, 'tis hard To tell—to explain. It all comes so quickly

And causes roach lain« Tho world calls it sorrow. Still It HH an? sa mnrh, For It wrhi th heart

With tfie strongest of touch. It chains in the heart With great strong links, And it never will loosen

Until the life chain parts. It chases all ranlles. They banish in fear When once the great chain

Draws tighter, my dear. Do we each have thia trouble! Yea, sometimes in life, And friends then are needed

To make sorrow light. —Maria Pendas in Brooklyn Eagle.

BY HOOK 0B CROOK.

In traveling with a person I like one of two things. He must have entire responsibility, or I must. Two Is one too many to run a show.

I confess that in traveling I prefer to run tho show myself, and as a usual thing I do it exceedingly well, although the otiler fellow sometimes will not admit as much, actuated, as I hold, by envy at my own marvelous grasp of detail.

From these introductory remarks you will understand with what reluotanoe 1 make tho following humiliating confession:

There were two of us, and I was running the show. Wo were at The Hague and were going that night by tho Harwich boat to London. Friends strongly advised us to tako an express that went through The Haguo to tho Hook of Holland, and there get comfortably settlod on the boat.

Tho express takes only a few minutes and does not stop between the capital of Holland and the hook thereof. It was, of oourse, tho sonslble thing to do, but as I said, I was running tho show, and I thought I had a better plan. "No," said I ''wo will goto Rotterdam, drive down to the Harwich boat from the sta.ion, loavo our baggage on board, find when she leaves, then take a carriage, drive through Rotterdam and see the city."

So we left and reached tho Beurs station a little before 8 o'clook in tho afternoon. I did not know what time the Hoiwlch boot loft Rotterdam, but I know sho left the hook at 10:80, and I supposed she would leavo Rotterdam any whore between 8 and 9. This would glvo us tlmo to see tho city and have a good dinnor at ono oi the hotels.

On coming out of tho Beurs station there was not a carriage to be seen. Wo walked along through that city for half an hour without seeing a single cab plying for hire. Rotterdam resembles Venloe II many respects, but In nono so much as tho laok of public carriages. Finally we took ?a street car that wont down to tho wharf. A man who told us what kind of street car to take asked us if we intended to go by the Harwich boat. I answered that wo did. "Oh," ho said, "I am sure the Harwich boat has gono by this tlmo!"

But that seemed to me impossible, and sure enough whon wo got off the street cai at the terminus I saw the fine steamship Berlin at tho wharf, and I could not help romarklng to my companion: 'If ono paid attention to what everybody said, one would have no fun at all."

Yes," was tho reply, "but I notice they are unloading this boat, and I think that If sho is going to sail tonight they would bo putting things on rather than taking them off."

It struck mo that there was some good old common sense in this remark, and there was just a tone of apprehension in my voico as I hailed a man on deck and shouted, "When does this boat leavof"

The answer was stupofylng, "Tomorrow night, sir." "Good gracious!" I cried. "Where is tho boot that leaves tonight?"

Sho left for tho Hook of Holland about half an hour ago, sir." Arc there no trains for tho Hook of Holland f" I shouted. 'I think thoro are several," ho answorod. "You can find out at tho Central station."

Now, the Central station was at least two miles back and is called tho Control because It Is entirely outsido tho town. "Well," I said to my comrado, "thoro seems to bo nothing for it but to go book to the Central station, loavo our things there, get dinner and then go down to tho hook. There is certain to bo a good hotel In front of tho station thoro always Is In European cities."

So wo got on tho street cor and went jingling back through tho city. After awhile I said to tho conductor,

Let mo know when wo oomo to tho Central station, will youf" He onswotvd, "Why did you not tell mo, when you paid your faro, that you were going to tho Central station? Then I could have given you tickets that would have taken you through. As it is, you will have to get out at tho next street corner and pay your faro on another car."

I v.-fu* acquiring information rapidly, but still I was not pleased. The other car took us to tho station. I went to tho ticket office to make inquiries about tho Hook of Holland.

Oh, you want the boat express," said the clerk, "that leaves at 9 o'clook from tho Beurs station, two miles from here."

Is there no other train that goes before that from this station?" "Yes, there is ono at 6:30, another at 6:15 and ono at 7:51."

They all reach tho hook before tho boat express, I suppose?" "Oh, certainly!" "Very well, I will tako two tickets now," and 1 got them. 'Is there a good bote! near tho tho station?" I asked. "There Is a buffet In tho station, but if yon want a good dinnor you will have to go to one of tho first class hotels for It." "And whore are they?" "Down in tho center of the town and at tho steamboat landings."

Good heavens!" I exclaimed. "Is there not a hotel nearer than that?" No this Is the resident portion of the city." 3o I learned that Rotterdam differs In this nwpeet from almost every other city iu Europe. They have table d'hoto in Rotterdam at the somewhat unusual hour of 6:

SO, and by the time we got down town It was 6. So we concluded to go to a restaurant and order what we wanted. By this time the p£*$on who was with raehad lost all confidence in ujy knowing anything whatever about foreign travel.

Thfe guidebook said that tho best cafe was in tho Arcade, and wo made a try for

liliSSli iM iy

that. But the street ear oonductor put us on the wrong track, and wo ultimately got into a restaurant that was exceedingly second class.

My partner began to be afraid that the HI luck that was following us would extend to tho train service, and that we would miss the boat altogether, and so refused to search any longer for the Grand* cafe,

It may strike any person who does not know the circumstances that the correct thing to do would have been to take the boat express at o'clock, which went right through to the steamer without stopping. It was just hooause this was obviously the right thiugto do that I did not wish to do It, and for this reason: The boat express dumps down at tho Hook of Holland soma hundreds of persons who probably have not telegraphed for berths. Now, I had not telegraphed for a berth, and so I was anxious to got dQwn to froa( efor§ .t.h® crowd arrived.

Here was a fine state of things. I rushed back to the ticket offioe. "Look hero," I said, "the fellow on the

S30

latform says that tho 7:61 does not go to hook at all." "Well, you toll him that it does," answered the ticket man.

l,Aro

you oertain it does?"

"Of oourso I am." This seemod reassuring, so I went back and again oollared the man on tho plat' form. "Tho tloket clork," I said, "Insists that this train does go through to the hook. Are you suro thoro is not a carriage on that goos that way?" "I tell you tho wholo train," answered the man, "goes to Amsterdam. It stops at Schiedam and The Haguo and does not go anywhero near tho Hook of Holland."

He was so positive about this that my faith in tho olerk was onco more shaken, and I rushed back to him. "You will oxouse my bothering you again, but this man says that tho wholo train goes through to Amsterdam, stopping at Schiedam and The Hague, and does not go noar tho Hook of Holland. Now, what havo you to say to that?" "Of oourse It does not go near the Hook of Holland. You got off at, Schiedam. Across tho platform you will find another train that gc^ to the hook.'' "Oh, I see," I replied, much relieved, but I think you might hav'o told mo that before."

My comrado, who had been making inquiries, having lost all faith In mo, now approached and said hurriedly: "They say this is the Amsterdam train that Is coming In." "Oh, that is all right," I answered airily, waving my hand to Intimate that I knew all abc ^t it. "Wo get on this train and go to Schiedam. There we change cars and get to the hook. Don't you bother. Leavo it all to me."

By this time the long train came tear-, ing In. The platform man saw us board the Amsterdam train. He came jyp to the carriage door and said: 'This won't get you to the hook, you know."

I answered in an offhand manner: "You aro talking through your hat. You don't understand the running of this line. Wo get out at Schiedam and tako the hook train thei^e.''

By this timo the train was moving on. "Very weh," ho said as he closed the door "you try It."

This romark did not tend to relieve my anxiety, and my comrade would not have beon surprised if the train had landed us in Now York. We got off at Schiedam, and there, sure enough, on the other side of tho platfoim, was a train waiting. It was a little train, with second and third olass carriages in it, fashioned somewhat after tho Air rrlcan plan.

Tho Amsterdam oxpress rolled on toward Tho Haguo, and wo took our seats on tho local tiain. "I wish I was suro," said my companion, "that Uiis train was going to tho Hook of Hohand." "Thoro is nowhere clso for it to go," I answered lo^lly. "This lino runs right along tho rivtr down to tho hook, so thoro cannot bo any mistake."

Tho condu« ior camo through and looked at my tickets with a mournful expression. Ho shook his hood solomnly as ono who would say N. G. "What is tho matter?" I asked. "This train only goos ns far as Maassluis." "And how far is that from tho hook?" "About olKht or ton miles," ho replied. "Tho hook is tho next station."

I had a wild idea of hiring a carriago at Maassluis anil driving the rest of tho way. But I realized that if I could not get a carriago in Rotterdam I was not likely to get ono in a &uiail village down tho rlvor. In duo time we reached Maasaluis. I had still anotljor train up my sleeve, which left Rotterdam about 80 minutes after the train we were. on. I had not counted on that train because some nights It got down before the boat express and some nights after. However, it was now our only hope. When we were turned off atJMaassluis, thoro was hn'f an hour to wait. I sought out a man st this station. "There Is another train for tho hook tonight?" I said. "Two of them," ho answered—"the boat express and the local, but neither of them stops at this station."

This was tho last straw. I broko out Into language that was painful and free. My last ace was taken by a trump. A man who heard mo talking came up and asked me what was the matter, and I told him the situation. "Oh, you're all right still," ho said. "The express won't stop, of course, but If ask the station master bo will flag tho local train, but if the boat press «es first U:- will be no use in taking tii-. other train, for the steamer leaves a few minutes after the express oomes in."

I may that my hard lock relented In time, the local train c&mo first. Thus we got a stateroom and the boot five minutes rs the exprvf-s came to.—Detroit Free l'.^s.

We reaohed the Central statift'n' ln gd&d time for the 7:51, the last train but one which would reach the Hook of Holland from Rotterdam before the boat express.

I was so nervous about things by this time that I thought It right to make a few inquiries on the platform. There was a large crowd on the platform, so I collared a man In uniform and said: "From what part of the platform does the train for tho hook leave?" "There is no train for the hook," he answered.

4

Oh, nonsense!" I replied. "I have got my tickets for it—the 7:61." "The 7:61 goes to Amsterdam," replied the man.
