I think I am safe iii saying that Paul Stanford hated me from the time we were little boys at school together, np to the period of which I am going to tell yon. Unfortunately we had always been in some sense rivals. We were nearly of the B??io age--oar tastes wore .somewhat similar-ear circumstances in life maoh alike, and wo wt ro in the same classes and studied tho same books. Probably it waa mote because I applied myself closer to my studies than he did that I out-stripped Pani, and nnder all oircuin? stances, where scholarship was concerned, bore off the palm. Naturally, he was quito ss clever as I was-a little more brilliant Indeed-bot he lacked applica? tion, and we all know that to become a scholar requires time and patienoe and hard study, even if one is A genia* in the beginning. Paul had one decided advantage over me. He was handsome and graceful; all the girls in the vicinity nade him aware of it. He was self-con oeited naturally, and the adulation he received made him vain. Nothing makes a fool of a man any more speedily than to have the women-folks make too muoh of bim. Gav, and gallant, and courteous ho was to all of them-but he coveted the love of only. ono. Florence Wayne was, a sweet little brunette of two or three and twenty, and all the young men in town were in love with her. She had only lived iu Marley two years. Her na? tive place was Philadelphia, but her father's health requiring a change of air they had come to Marley and established themselves in a pretty cottage on the Pownairoad. Florence was accomplished in no ordinary degree, and she had tra? veled a great deal, whioh is after all the best way of educating oneself. In Phila? delphia she had moved in the first so? ciety, but she did not hold herself above taking part in our rustie merry-makings, and at the husking and apple bees, and dances,.she was the life of the company. To do Florence justice, she eu cou ruged none of her suitors; was kind and cour? teous-nothing more. As for me I had been a beauty worshipper always, and when I saw Florence Wayne I met for the first time my ideal woman. 51 y heurt i went from me and never came book. In my wildest dreams I had never imagined ever so faintly that such a glorious vision would ever come upon me in dull, prosy old Marley, where nothing ever did hap? pen, year in and* year out. I had seen very little of the world, and was shy and awkward, and the passion I felt for the beautiful Florence did not tend to make me less embarrassed in her presence. The fact of it was, the sight of her eon fused me to such A degree that I was always making myself ridiculous before her, and if she had not been the kindest hearted girl in existence, she would have indulged in many a hearty laugh at my expense. Once I summoned up courage enough to invite her to ride with me. I had as fine a horse as there was in the country, and a good buggy, and might have enjoyed myself if I had not been so awkward. As it was, I trod on Florence's dress, strack her bonnet with my elbow in getting into the carriage, switched the whip into her face, and did a score of other things whioh I wonld havo died to prevent. She made me so terribly con? scious that I possessed hands and feet that must be disposed of some way, and how this disposition was to bo accom? plished was the question. Paul Stanford loved Florence, also, but his love did not make a fool of him, as mine did of me. He was always just so polished and brilliant, and could say his wittiest things with the dark eyes of Florence fall apon him-just na well as if she had been a thousand miles off. Ob, how I envied him-his easy, quiet nonchalance-and how chafed and irri? tated I was by the patronizing air he assumed towards me. Bat at last, fate gave me a chance to do Floreaco a ser? vice-to prove to her that I was not a coward, though I might be an nwkwnrd clod-hopper. Marley was a sca-coust town, and it was to avail himself of sea air and bath? ing, that Mr. Wayne had removed thither. Almost every floe day, he and Florence were down on Point Pleasant beach Mr. Wayne bathing, and Florence read? ing and watching him. The attachment between this father and daughter was very strong-possibly because Mr. Wayne had tried bard to be both father and mother to his girl. Sometimes, when I could get up suf? ficient courage to do so, I wonld go down to the Point and join them, but theso occasions were rave, because I could not make sure that Florence waoted me to t'(starb them often. Trae, sho always pilad, and mado room for mo on the ck where she found a seat, but she did / uot smile much, and she had a way of looking out to sea, whioh made me fancy she was dreaming dreams in which I had no part. Stanford was not so particular. He was down at the Point almost every day when the Waynes were there, and the smell of his cigar and his light laugh floated landward together on the sea? breeze. It was in July, that the manu? facturing company in which all my pro? perty was invested, failed, and left me very nearly penniless. It was plain that I must go to work, and I was courageous enough to be willing to take hold of any? thing whioh offered. But the times were dull, workmen plenty and work scarce, and in spite of all my effort*, nothing ? presented itself for me to do. I Was glooam?. (fltmflHaJlttlHor th? moat part, and everything looked cheerless and apprehensive. In this mood, one gray Septem ber day, I strolled down to the Point I held not expected" a?y one would bc there, hut asl turn od un Ungle of the path. I aa? Florence ina water? proof cloak and hood, in her old seat; and I caught out in the surf the gleam of Mr. Wayne's red bathing suit. Ev eu os I gazed, and before I had spoken to her, a sharp orv broke from Florence, and I saw with dismay that Mr. Wayne had got beyond his depth, and not being ablo io swim, the under-tide-which was very strong st that time-was sucking him nuder, in spite of his efforts to re? sist it. In a moment, I was buffeting tho waves, and though I am a strong man and au extra good swimmer, I must con? fess that more than once, I was on the eve of giving over and letting fate dis Eose of ! both myself and the helpless urden with which I was trying to reach the shore. But the sight of Florenoe standing on tho sands, her face white ns death--nor arms extended towards us, gave mo strength, and by and by, moro dead than alive, I succeeded in laying the old man at his daughter's feet. And I would have risked my life over and over again, for the sake of hearing her say, us she said then "William Morton, nany Heaven ever bless you ! You have saved all I have to love." Paul Stanford was on tho spot almost immediately-very much out of breath and very profuse in his protestations of sympathy. He had witnessed tho dan? ger of Mr. Wayne from Colney's Hill, a quarter of a mile away, and had como with all haste, but too late to be of ma? terial assistance. He hoped, however, that Miss Wayne would not refuse him the pleasure of supporting her father to the cottage. And so by his superior tact and address he managed to secure for himself what I was dying to ask for, the privilege of accompanying them to their residence. But Mr. Wayne remembered with gratitude the service I had done him. Throe days afterwards I received a letter from tho President of the Short Lino and Point Pleasant Railroad, say? ing that I could have the situation of station agent and signal tender at Bach ly's Bridge. The salary was a liberal one, considering the duties to be per? formed, and I was indebted for tho offer of the situation to Mr. Wayne who was ; the personal friend of tho President. Of course, I accepted the proposition. I was in need of employment and this placo would pay me a better salary than I could hope to earn anywhere else by manual labor alone. It was a trust of responsibility, but I prided myself on no fear in regard to being able to perform my duty. The management of tho switches came under my supervision, and also the draw which had been fixed in the bridge to allow vessels to pnss through. By day wo used balls as sig? nals-if tho draw was open, two groen balls were hoisted from the standard a few rods below the draw-if it waa closed and all was right, two red bulls signified that fact to the engineers. By night, red and green lanterns were substituted for the balls. So you will readily under? stand that any failure on the part of thc station-master to attend closely to his duties might send soma passenger train to destruction in the twinkle of an eye. For two mouthe everything went like clockwork. I had an efficient assistant in John Stitson, a porter who had been employed at the bridge for ton years, and new all the ropes. I saw Florence not unfrequently-she often went into tho city-and always came to tho office for her ticket. One day when thc car? riage did not come for ncr from tho cot tagp, I had the felicity of holding her soft hand for a moment in minc as I lifted her out. From the time I took possession of the railway station, Paul Stanford had begun to manifest a sort of friendship for mo. I had strong suspicions that it was as? sumed, though it seemed real enough. And indeed what particular object he could have iu feigning a friendship for mo he did not feel, I was at a loss to imagine. I received his advances with u coldness which would have repulsed most men, but it seemed to have no effect ou bim. He Bmoked his cigars in my little private room, and read his papers there, and talked to me in genial, off-hand way-so thoroughly friendly that at j times I was ashamed of myself and my suspicions. Thinking it over now, I know that "by hook or by crook" he I managed to worm out of mo nil the se ' crcts of my business-if indeed they j may be called secrets; but at that time I : did not take notice of his inquiries, so I gradually wero they put up. Meanwhile II gained the confidence of theoompany^ I was trusted with large sums of money, and was generally thought well of. Mr. I Wayne invited me to dine at his house, ! and Florence sang and pluyed for me, ; and I would have beeu perfectly happy I if Stanford had not made bis appearance ! and beguiled Florence away from my side. Uno dark, foggy night-1 remember it , was Friday and it was in March-just ns tho clock pointed to 10-tho hour when tue Hallidou Express was due-I heard tho whistle of a steamboat, three sharp whistles and oue long one-a signal that the draw must be opened. I seized thc j green lantern and went out-Stitson was already there, for ho had boen setting the switches and banging up thc all-right signal. "Ease her down, Stitson !" said I-and wo took the red lantern down aud hooked on the green one in its place. "It's cussed inconvenient having tb ic steamer como just at this timo," growled Stitson; "won't old Giles"-referring tc tho driver of the Express-"won't ht I swear at being stopped?" BBHe opened the draw, and just as he did so, I heard the whistle of the ap proaohing train: Bnt there was no time to notioe it-we were fully occupied wi tl getting the steamer through. By some mismanagement on board of her, sh? ap time, and ?1 s? oing Imp, I ?Aw with hort or. thafc incoad of the gieen lantern, I hod bang from the standard ? morn At ago, tho red ono wan flying out like tho eye of doom ! "Great Heavens!" cried Stitaon. fol? lowing nay glance-"Ihe red^iiguc .is up and the train will go io ruin, ?nd the company'll send us after 'em to-morrow" Like lightning shot through my brain the thought of the switch! If I could only reach it in time, I could send' tho train ap . the steep grade of the wood track, and before they reached the end of it, the engineer would bo able to stop. I flew over the rocgb ground, and laid my hand on the iron rod of tho switch. I had the key iu my pocket, I turned it quickly and flung back tho lever! And simultaneously a baud grasped my throat and a voico I well knew hissed in my car: "Yon mean to thwart me! but by Heaven, I will kill yon first!" I grappled with him, and we fell to the ground together. And tho fierce thunder of tho on-coming train drowned all sounds and sense! A hot, sulphurous broath of flame nod smoke swept over me. I felt the gripe on my throat relaxing-then there fell a ilbriod of comparative silent COOIUCSK, and ever so dimly I realized that tho train had run on to tho wood traak and stopped. I put out my hand to touch the head of Pani ?Stanford-he who bad sought my life-but great Heavens! There was no head on his body! My fingers were clotted with something warm and sticky-and over como by tbo terrible revelation it made to me, I lost all consciousness. Wheu I carno to myself, I was lying on a settee iu the station, and a great crowd filled the room. I told my story-by degrees-as I could remember it, and I could see that my listeners believed it. It was settled, beyond doubt, that Stan? ford had changed tho lights. He had been seen to do it by one of the em? ployees of. th o road, a stupid fellow, who did not think of any harm coming from it. His object was plain enough to mc, though I never spoke of it to any one. Ho hated mc-he was jealous of my gain? ing popularity, and be wonted to ruin me in the estimation of tho company and in tho estimation of Florence and her father, lint ho was dead, and when I thought of tho fearful manner of his death, I forgave Lim freely. I suppose you have guessed that 1 mar? ried Florence Wayne, and I need not tell you that I am happy. W lilaf IN Thc Mm? Wfitc!l li^^^^^^JLil OF ELGIN, ILL.
