| At the death of my father
? ?| I had been left quite a comx
Hi fortable little sum, and I
iiuu at once started out to see the
world, being at last able to satisfy my
craving for travel to its full extent
and having no parental ties to hold
me to any one particular spot of the
V world's circumference.
But I had somewhat overdone the
thing, not being possessed of a constic
\ tution that would stand much of a
strain. So I had settled down at Las
* .Vegas to take things quietly for a
xrhilo hofnr^ fmn<T further
"? ~ =>?=
It was on the evening of October 12.
1806, that the news was circulated in
the town that there had been an aw-'
ful wreck on the Santa Fe just below
tWatrous. A special was rapidly made
tip of an engine and two coaches, and
b&y f"; the call made for volunteers to assist
M in any way that their services could
fe- be of value. I made one of the numKC
ber thaj: promptly responded, and hastily
clambering aboard, we started for
the scene.
i ; I shall never forget that distressing
Bight, as, reaching the spot, we leaped
to the ground almost before the train
had slackened speed sufficiently to
make it safe to human life and limb to
alight. There lay a tangled mass of
P*"- wood and iron piled in heaps, from
which came moans and cries from the
imprisoned passengers and crews. One
of the forward coaches, together with
the mail and express car, was in
flames. While part of the improj&,
* .vised wrecking crews gave their atten^v.
tion to helping the poor unfortunates
gH in the passenger coaches, others of us
started in to save what part of the
mail and express car's valuable con
I tents still remained out of the reach
of the tongues of the flames rapidly
drawing nearer the end of the car
farthest from the engine. I was one
of those who started to work on this
car, and lustily I began to pull out the
6acks of mail and what merchandise
could be reached through the tremendous
heat from the burning end of the
"car.
The last sack of mail was not
snatched away in time to prevent half
its length being burned away entire.
I had hold of the leather handles and
gave a fearful tug, for the heat was
. _ now unbearable. For a minute tho bag
held to some object that weighted it
down, then gave suddenly, landing me
backwards, while a shower of letters
and small packages completely covered
me.
After we had done all we could to
save the contents of the car, and taken
the last man from the twisted coaches,
we started back to Las Vegas with our
mangled, suffering human freight.
It was after one o'clock when we arrived,
and had tenderly carried the sufferers
to the nearest point where they
could receive medical and surgical attention,
and, being quite fatigued with
my unusual exertion, I crawled into
i. bed and slept soundly until the sun
p;.; - bad arisen high in the heavens the
ghj next day. Being
nearly dressed. I reached for
my vest, wjien something fluttered to
j&' the floor. Picking it up I was sur|*,
* prised to find a half burned photograph.
Evidently it had been caught
in my clothing in some way when the
|c - mail bag scattered its contents over
me as I lay upon the ground, and,
when I arose to my feet, had slipped
K ^ between my vest and shirt. I said it
was a half burned photograph, but
that does not tell much. It was the
photograph of a beautiful young-lady,
perhaps eighteen years of age. Beau?tiful?
The most beautiful, I think, I
?v had ever seen.
5;. v I sat down in my half dressed state
W * and stared at it for many long minjjr
? . -utes. And before I had finished star1
ing at that beautiful image I had to
confess to myself that I was helplessly
in love with the pretty, rounded face,
with its smiling eyes looking up so
confidently into mine, that rhapoly,
tempting mouth with its saucy, curling
lips, that wealth of tastily arranged
hair thrown back over the high forehead.
w. -i?o r ? iu. sr ? ? ?
? ? no was sue: 1 curseu iuy u?ujcs
that had totally eaten away the part
of the card that might have given
some clue as to whom the photographer
had been, or in what place the photograph
had been taken. If I could
only know what town or city it would
be enough. I would go at once to the
place and search every artist's establishment
until I had found some trace
of my ideal.
Up to this time I- had bothered but
little about women. But here was a
dear little girl whose eyes looked up
into mine so smilingly, so confidingly,
so pleadingly., that my heart ached to
have them something more tliau images
on paper, to have those lips open
and speak to me. to have those dainty
little ears capable of listening while I
poured my story of complete slavery
into them: ah. I was hopelessly in love,
and I did not know with whom! With
a photograph! A photograph, tossed
at my very feet, coming to me by such
a strange channel, to tease me, to
agonize me. to craze me!
And then the thought came to me
that to every photograph there must
necessarily be two sides. Perhaps the
reverse side would tell me something;
a new hope! I held the photograph,
and my fingers trembled and my heart
beat furiously, fearing to turn it that
tfe
Ilk'- -W.\.? ;
I might be disappointed. At last my
shaking fingers moved of their own
volition. Writing! Feminine writing,
in a neat, small hand.
And then iny first love dream received
its rude shock of awakening?a
mighty death-blow. A sickening sensation
overcame me, I turned sick, and
my eyes blurred as I read the words
which had evidently preceded a signature,
of which the flames had removed
all trace.
"Yours, the wide world over.'*
Mine? Perhaps by right of the possession
of this bit of cardboard: but
my heart, had I that? Had I even the
right to the bit of pasteboard, seared
and crumpled by "the devouring
flames? "Yours"?another's!

and, short though my little love affair
had lived, its death hurt me much,
and with teaful eyes I sadly gazed
across the spreading plains lying before
my window and felt for the first
time all the emptiness and barrenness
of a loveless world.
*******
Ten years have passed. I am no
longer a reckless scapegrace of a fellow.
The passing years have somewhat
sobered me into a recognition of
the fact that the world requires more
of a man than simply looking to his
own pleasures and chasing after mirages
that but lead him a merry dance
and leave him worn out and disappointed
at the first point his maturing
mind shows him the uselessness and
folly of his course.
However, much of the credit for
my change of nature should be given
to another party, a sweet, charming
little woman whom I met here at Versailles
and who had quite captured my
heart.
And to-night, as we sat close together
under the flowering trees, with
a fair moon casting pale shadows
about us, I felt how happy I was in
having won such a prize, for we were
soon to wed.
There came a little lull in our conversation
and my mind was running
back to my previous nine love uuair,
the remembrance of which incident
had never quite left me. Then I made
a resolution. Turning to my fair companion,
I said:
"Vera, I must confess to a little deception
practiced upon you. Oh, don't
j start, it was quite harmless. You remember
the other evening you asked
me if I had ever loved before? A
woman's natural question, and such a
foolish one. And I answered, as most
wicked men will, and as the question
justly deserves, perhaps, that I never
had. I have thought upon it since, and
feel that truth is best, whatever be
the consequences. I have loved be- I
fore."
Vera gave her breath a little inward
hiss and turned her flashing eyes upon
me in surprise, but said nothing. She
apparently awaited my further confession.
"Some ten years ago I came by the
photograph of a young lady in a peculiar
way. It was such a dear little
face that, I frankly confess now. I fell
in lnt-fk -with if "Rut mv lnvo rlfd not !
live long, for a few words on the reverue
side of the card told me much.
She loved another. I have carried this
card with me until now. and to-night,
after having confessed to you, I shall
properly destroy it."'
I drew the card from my inner
pocket where I had carefully guarded
it ever since the night I so strangely
came by it. and not without some
slight feeling of the old passion, placed
my fingers in position to rend it
asunder. Then Vera asked to see it.
I promptly handed it to her.
She gave a cry of surprise, and turning
to me, asked hastily?
"Where did you get that?"
"I found the photograph in a railroad
wreck in New Mexico. The flames
from the burning mail car had removed
all trace of the name of the
phorographer. or I should have?eh,
j that is, I "
"Or you should have gone in search
of your ideal. Am I not right?"
"I?I?think so; but?but you see I
had not met you then," I stammered
in my confusion.
"It seems we are old friends. You
would have gone in search of your
ideal! how long it has taken you to
find her!" And, to my utter amazement,
instead of being angry, as I had
supposed, Vera burst into a hearty
laugh.
"Ah, but Vera, you know as the time
goes on our ideal changes."
"Oh," pettishly, "does it? That is
too bad. I referred to the particular
ideal of ten years ago, not only the one
of to-day."
Her words mystified me. She saw
my wonderment, and again broke into
a hearty laugh.
"You foolish dunce! Yet how
strange. Have the passing footprints
of time stamped out all semblance and
erased the beauty in the original, the
substance, that you admired in the
shadow? That is a photograph I had
taken twelve years ago in San Francisco."
At this revelation of the strange
workings of destiny, I could only sit
and stare like a man bereft of his
senses. Then I remembered the rude
shock I had received upon turning the
ppv<1 Acnin tormpnts hprrnn to rack
my soul.
"And Vera, the?the wording on the
back?"
"You foolish, jealous boy! I had
mailed this very card to my mother,
then in New Y'ork City, and that
scrawl was only for her. I had often
wondered why she failed to receive
it."
"And now. darling, you are mine
truly, 'the wide world over'?"
For answer she nestled closer to me.

f NEVER SAW A CHILD,
I Az. Island "Coy of Fourteen Who Had
Only Seen Grown-Ups.
''Dul you ever hear of a child or
ever know of one yourself that had
never seen a child V' asked a man who
takes an interest in the oddities to a
representative of the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. "Well. I have, and
the case is not a thousand miles from
New Orleans, either. The child in this
instance had rounded into its fifteenth
hofnvn it hnd over inid eves on an
other child. It had never heard the
musical prattle of companions other
than the father and mother. The parents
settled across the lake a few years
ago. after a long residence on a small
island of the sea. Where the child was
born and where it spent fourteen years
of its life there were no children. The
little fellow knew no associates but the
j father and mother. I have often won|
dered since learning of this peculiar
case what must have been the impression
of the youngster when he
gazed for the first time on a member
of the human family smaller than he
was. Did he think he had come upon
a race of dwarfs? Or had his parents
given him an idea of the existence of
children? I do uot know the family
and therefore cannot answer these
questions. But I would like to know
just how the little fellow felt when he
first beheld a child. It is the only
case of the kind which has come to
my knowledge. He had never had an
opportunity to play the little games
which most of us knew in the days
cf our childhood. He had never gone
through any of the things which made
young life sweet to all of us fellows,
. and while not knowing but there may
be compensating advantages in a life
of this sort, I have always felt a bit
sorry for the youngster. Come to think
of it, tnougn, ne inisseu a iew imugs
one would like to forget, for I suppose
most of us liave felt the rap of the maternal
slipper because of disobedience
due directly to one's companions. At
any rate, we have always cherished the
the idea that our companions were in
a measure responsible for many of the
raps we got. The child who never
knew a child could not be led astray
in this way. So we do not know but
that the lack of companionship may
have something to commend it."
A I?over of Funerals.
A quaint character on^ the lower
West Side is a young man who apparently
takes charge of the outside arrangements
at funerals. Standing in
front of the house he signs for the
carriages to come ahead, gives whispered
instructions to the drivers, is
ahead of the procession at crossings
and holds back teams with uplifted
hand. He has a word with the policeman
on the beat, and escorts the old
folks and professional mourners to a
n d ^
place or vantage 11 ine ueuu was a
popular personage. He lias a mania
for attending funerals.
"He's not exactly right, you see," an
1 undertaker said. "Imagines he's a relative.
I've instructed my drivers to
respect his orders when need be, and
we've never had any trouble with him.
He's pretty well known and the families
seldom object to him. The queerest
thing about him is that he seems
to have some intuition when a funeral
is to take place, going from one neighborhood
to another on the same day.
But I have never seen him in a house.
I believe he has an aversion to a
corpse."?New York Sun.
Return of the Tan Shoe.
An odd feature of the return of the
tan shoe to popular favor is that the
demand finds the manufacturers unprepared
to meet it. With the coming
of the crocus the brown shoe reappeared
on feminine feet on Fifth avenue
sporadically, as the botanist would
say, after long disuse. Almost immediately
orders poured in on the dealers
in such volume that in the words of
one "the manufacturers were fairly
swamped." * The prospect seems good
for the full restoration of the tan shoe
to that place in sutorial esteem and
usefulness which it should never have
lost.
Whoever the social arbiter is who
has rehabilitated it, or whether it
blooms anew in response to a simultaneous
general re-recognition of its
merits, its return to fashionable vogue
will be welcomed. The elements of
the comfortable and the ornamental
are in no other form of summer footgear
so happily combined as in the tan
Ghoe. Witness the testimony of any
ueatly shod foot on any suburban
lawn.?New York World.

Negro Woman Arrested ffr Arson.
A story of an attempt at arson and
wholesale murder, which occurred in
Saluda county, near the Newberry line,
has been received. The attempt was
most cowardly and had it succeeded
would have resulted in the destruction
of a dwelling and its three inmates.
All the parties concerned are
negroes.
The attempt was made on the place
of Mr. John Long at an early hour
of the morning.
It is charged that Corrie Green,
a negress, went to the dwelling on Mr.
Long's plantation, and after saturating
the doorsteps and side of the
house with kerosene and placing sacks
of shavings upon the steps, she set
fire to the rubbish.
Within the house, asleep, were a
blind woman and her two children.
These were awakened just in time to
escape the flames.
Corrie Green was arrested at her
heme and lodged in the Saluda county

the superior court of the county ask
ing that her maiden name, unie nuncan,
be restored. She sets- forth as j
sufficient cause for the petition that
shortly after her marriage to Wiley
Tanner his death occurred under un-1
usual circumstances and that the father
and ether relatives of her late husband
prosecuted her bitterly on a
charge of murdering him. On account
of this relentless prosecution she does
not wish to bear the name of Tanner,
hut desires the court to allowed her
to resume her father's name.
The case is an unusual one. Frequently
divorced wives are given their
maiden names back after final legal
separation. Very rarely persons have
their names changed by the court or
by special act of the legislature. But'
the petition of a widow for the restoration
of her maiden name is of very
infrequent occurrence.

A London special says: Over seven
j hundred Danish and Norwegian emigrants,
bound for New York, are believed
to have been drowned in the
! North Atlantic on June 2S. Out of
nearly S00 souls on board the Danish
4
steamer Norge, which left Copenhagen
June 22, only twenty-seven are
known to be alive, and for the rest no m
hope is held out.
Wlhen last seen the Norge was sinking
where she struck on the islet of
Rockall, whose isolated peak raises itself
from a deadly Atlantic reef 200
miles off the west coast of Scotland.
Early on the morning of Tuesday,
June 28 the Norge, which was out of
her course in heavy weather, ran on
the Rockall reef, which is in the dis|
tance and looks like a ship under full
| sail. The Norge was quickly hacked
off, but the heavy seas poured in
through a rent in her bow. x
The emigrants, who were then
awaiting breakfast below, ran on deck.
The hatchways were scarcely built for
the hundreds of souls and became
clogged.
The ship began quickly to go down
by the head. Eight boats were lowered
and into these the women and '
children were hurriedly put Six of
these boats smashed against the side * t
of the Norge and their helpless inmates
were caught up by the heavy
seas-. NTwo
boat loads got safely away
from the side of the sinking ship and
j many of the emigrants who were left >
j on board, seizing the life belts, threw
themselves into the sea and were
drowned.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats, *Jbut
these were already too full and
their occupants beat off the drowning
wretches with oars.
The boats kept together for some . ;
hours. Practically all of their occupants
were passengers and were not
used to handling such craft. The boat
occupied by the survivors landed at
Grimsby was a life boat.
One account' says that three boats
were successfully launched, the other
two holding about ten persons each.
The life boat made faster progress
and fell in with the Salvia. What became
of the other boats is not yet
known.
The rescue of those on the life boat
