How fast they crowded in on him, those memories, those pictures of the past ! He saw himself, but very little older, standing beside his patient, paleâ€"fi.ced mother, Le beard the deepâ€"drawn sigh and felt the toilâ€"roughened fingrs which clasped his tiny hand tremble strangely, as a crue!, loudâ€"voiced man sold the widow‘s home and farm and litble all to strangers. "Oh, you poor, old mother !" he cried, with a groan that was balf a sob, "what right have I to resent mere strangers not appreciating you when I â€"the one for whom you slaved night and day, for whom you denied your self for yearsâ€"am too cowardly, yes, too cowardly to acknowledge you beâ€" fore them 1‘ Fiinging himse‘lf back in h‘s chair he sat for a lorg, long time,. staring straight before him, dreaming all his lifeâ€"story and hers, the woman of whom he was now so bitterlyâ€"so shamefully ashamed.

How bappy he had been, that honâ€" est, bright eyed lad, the day he carried this grand news home to his mother ! How proud to think that henceforth ke, not she, must shoulder the burden â€"to youthful inexperience and youthâ€" ful strength how light it seemed !â€"of maintaining their joint existence. And now the child was gone, and in his place a slender, studious youth, who easily passing the final examinaâ€" tions of his native village school, had «4 a quite ridiculously early age, himâ€" self received a certificate as a teacher. "Hopin‘ that you may be jest one little haf so glad to. ses a foolish old womao, as this foolish old woman will be to see her own dear lad"â€"these words which met his eyes seemed like some gentle voice upbraiding his se!â€" fish weakness. Then remembering Marion Hawdon‘s glib, sarcastis tongue, and o‘d Mrs. Alban‘s love of gossip, his heart sank like lead within him. It was not like: ly that they, the two most notorious gossips of their none too charitable set, would forego the pleasure of telling so gord a story against one of their soâ€" called "friends", as a playfal and, inâ€" deed, not necessarily exaggerated acâ€" count of his mother‘s many little "ecâ€" centricities‘ (to put it mildly), of speech, dress and manner, together with her utter ignorance of all the more polite usages of society would unquestionably prove. _â€"â€""Curse them," he exclaimed, bringâ€" ing his clenched fist down with a reâ€" sounding thwack upon the table before him, ‘"curse them," (ob, that those two dear patrons of his could have hoard their lion roaring now !) "Let them say but one word against her and 1i â€"I‘il fores them to their kne:s to ask her pardor. Having settled matters thus satisâ€" factorily, he leaned forward to reposâ€" sess himse‘lf of the letter, which, by means of the vehement gesture with which he had seen fit to emphasize his brief, but bkeartfe‘t maledictionizing of his friends, had fallen to the floor. He opcned his eyes again, however, g zing once more distracted‘!y upon the letter before him, the recollection here Leing suddenly and most unpleasantly borne in upou him that this sweet wife of bi>, had, in a rashly hbospitablo mo ment, invited «ll the members of her father‘s recent yachting party to dine with them to morrow. Aad h s mother arrived toâ€"night | Gocd heavens ! What would not Dick have given to prevent this meetâ€" ing between his plain old mother and bis friends ? It made him hot and cold to think of it ! "They will not dare to laugh at her," he assured bhimself fiercely. "But the thing is simp‘y impossiâ€" b‘e," he added, pressntly, his ardor ccoling as quickly as it had been arousâ€" <d. "S rco it is too late, crow, to preâ€" vent this visit then this dinner must be put oft." Yet today that promise remsined unsfalfilled, though it was now three month®, Dick remembered with a start, â€"ince Nella had become his wife ! His w.fe!

So Dick weâ€"kly gave up bucattempt, promising himself, however, by way of silencing his conscienc», that some day, very soon after their marriage (of coursc), ho wou‘ld take Nulla away to Cimad», down to the old fiarm, and there, where his dear, old lady. was most at home, ard ever at her own He clambered down the steep emâ€" bankment at whoss foot the engines of the two trains lay heaped together, the steam hissing noisily and angrily from their great iron frames. With feeb which surely were weighted with lead, so little progress seemed they capable of making, he dragged bimxself back to that awfal wreck. Alas! the thought that she whom he sought still lived brought but small consolation now. Il living and unhurt, full well he knew he should have found her in the midst of yon sad group, ministering to the suffering, comfortâ€" ing those that mourned. But since she was not there, then she must beâ€" oh agzonizing thoughtâ€"among those few imprisoned sufferer‘s ‘gainst whose cries and groans and frenzied pleadings he had, in very heartsick pity, shut his ears when hastening to seek her among the happy, painless dead. Breathing this prayer, the first his lips had known this many a careless, selfâ€"reliant year, he hastened away from this scene of horror towards a large tree, beneath whose shade a little knot of people tenderly ministered to the wounded already rescued from the wreck, or wept overtheir poor, maimed scarce recognizable dead.] Waterloo County Chronicle, Thursday , February 17,1998â€"Page 7 Again, and yeb again, he passed down those lines, scanning eagerly, yet fearfully, the face of each sufferer, of each sleeper, then sorrowfully he turned away, his search not ended yet. ‘Time enough has been wasted alâ€" ready," he told them, appca‘ing to each stolid member of the crew in turn, ‘time enough has been wasted already for anyoneâ€"a weak, old frightened woman, sayâ€"to die a thousand agon‘z ing deathe,‘ Aye, begin hisffseirchâ€"but where ?

Surely never did train crawl at so miserable a snail‘s pace b.fore ! But at last, ob, thank Ged ! at last the train slowed up. They had reached their woeful destination ! He was free to bogin his search ‘Not there! Just God, let me not find her there ! ‘Oh, no !" D‘ck was vaguely startled at the sound of his own shril‘, despairâ€" ing laughterâ€"‘"ob, no! no one of the least importance ; only an uninvited guest. _ Tell me,‘ be s uid, following the man down the platform, ‘was ib a bad accident ? Surely no one wasâ€"killed? ‘Can‘t say, I‘m sure, sir,‘ was the evasive answer. ‘Yonder‘s the train as takes the doctors and sick out to help them ; you‘d best question them.‘ Dick forced hbis way through the gate and towards the train which was on the point of moving from the staâ€" tion. ©‘You cannot get on here,‘ some one said authoritatively, barring the way.

Dick scrambled into his bat and gloves, and reaching to the nearest cabâ€" stand, was driven furiously to the staâ€" tion. Trains coming and going ; pesple rushing hither and thither with no apâ€" parent purpose ; people pouring ont of crowded railway coaches ; people pourâ€" ing into them ; altogether a most conâ€" fusing place for a simple, country soul, visiting New York for the first time, to find herself in alone.

It was fortunate, indeed, Dick told himseif with bis usual selfâ€"complacency, that he had pulled himself together when he did, or he might have been too late to meet her.

And yet, how wondrous soft and light its touch could beâ€"soft and lignt enough to smooth away a score of ‘tififlfla!mm_fmm a tired Fire!

Dick tried to answer her, tried to tell ber that he could not help her, but speech seemed to have suddenly become iwpossible to him. He pointed to the uncongcious figure at his . feet and the woman, understanding, hurried on to the nearest group of workers, the stone clasped tightly to her breast. Gazing anxiously into her face, fearâ€" ful lest he should discover the very faintest trace of returning consciousâ€" ness, he knelt beside her, clasping in bis the toilworn hand which had so lately written down the owner thereof as his ‘sincere mother.‘ Ab ! that ridiculous, unmeaning little phrase seemed now to be invested with a meaning all its ownâ€"a meaning which wes like to break his heart. ‘I watched for a long, long time,‘ she went on, ‘till I saw that he grew no weaker, and I knew that he could not die. Then I took this great stoneâ€"I think G:d must have shown me where to find it, for I only saw the oneâ€"and I leaned through the window again, and I hushed him till the fire grew very near, oh, very near indeed, then, then, drawing back, I raised the stone above my head, meaning to hburl it down upon his little golden head. But my heart failed meâ€"I could not do it You must coms and do it for me,‘ she cried, weakly striving to drag Dick down?the track, ‘but oh ! remember, remember you will not need to throw the stone so very, hard.
