( She was young and a widow. There
was a freshness to her beauty that
was quite girlish and a token of
mourning shewed in hat and veil. Be?ides
that the little three-year-old
child by her side called her "mamma,"
and there was motherly tenderness in
the attention she received. Boyd Wisner
sat facing them in the street car
and studied the pair with something
of interest.
He was a natural weaver of dreams,
and his avocation encouraged the visionary.
Compiler, critic and reader
for a miscellaneous publishing house,
all kinds of literary efforts were presented
for his approval or rejection.
^ He had drifted directly to the threshold
of young bachelorhood, knowing nothing
of love except from the romances
he read, and a surfeit of them had
made him somewhat finical as to
ideals.
He was in the midst of a pleasing
development of plot and incident when
there was a grating grind and then a
crash. From a passing truck a box
' had jolted out of place and its sharp,
sudden shadow in descent warned and
enlightened Wisner. In a flash he discerned
the object aimed straight for
the window next to which the little
girl sat. With a rapid movement he
threw himself forward. A shower of
glass rained over him, slightly cutting
one cheek and his hands. Where a
corner of the box struck his back there
was a painful jar, but he had thrust
the little child safe into the arms of
her alarmed mother. Thence she put
out her arms toward him, as if fully
conscious of his heroic service.
"Tell something," came the babylike
prattle, and Wisner, supposing that
she wished to whisper something,
leaned forward to receive a kiss on
. one cheek.
"Other face," said the little one, and
the other cheek was kissed as well.
"She is, we are both truly grateful,"
quavered the mother, all unstrung,
and then a street was called by the
conductor and the little one, prattling
about "dear man," "sweet man," the
mother bestowing grateful glances
upon Wisner, both left the car and it
whirled on its way again, with Wisner
in a strangely aroused mood.
As half a mile farther on he arose
to leave the car Wisner noticed an envelope
on the floor between the seats.
He picked it up to find that it con?'
tained half a dozen proofs of a photo
ornnh nf tho ladv and the child who
tad so curiously come into his life. To
stay it seemed, for after that there
were few hours in the day when the
two faees did not float across his
mental vision. He made it a point to
ride on the cars of the line where he
met them. He longed to locate them
and make an excuse for seeing them
again and the returning of the photograph
proofs. Then after a month
when he had given up hopes of again
meeting them a whimsical, yet half
romantic impulse, led him to cut out
one of the photos in circular shape and
place it in the inside case of his
watch. ,
Once a friend caught a glimpse of
the picture and rallied Wisner as to
a mysterious lady love, and the fantasy
rather pleased the young lone
bachelor. At all events a certain sen*
timentality came into his experience
that lifted him above the dull grind
of his routine labors. It was upon an
occasion when he was strolling along
the street at which mother and child
had alighted that, somewhat unwatchful
and preoccupied, he drew back too
late to evade contact with a rushing
automobile. It only grazed his body,
but threw him forward so forcibly that
his head struck the curb and he was
stunned.
A crowd gathered and the driver of
the auto sought to ascertain his
identity. It chanced that Wisner carried
just then no papers that would
help out such an investigation. As
the chauffeur, however, scanned his
watch for some name or monogram
and opened it, a lively urchin of the
noicrhhrwhnnri nPPrlnS' inauisitivelV
UV<BUVV.~W?, r o -X
over his shoulder, exclaimed:
"Say, mister; I know where he belongs.
Those are pictures of Mrs.
Morse and her little girl. They live
in the little cottage right around the
corner."
Boyd Wisner did not, of course, belong
to the Morse home, but those
who carried him thither were not
made aware of his being a comparative
stranger to its inmates. Mrs. Lora
Morse and her little child-recognised
their hero of the street car episode
the moment of his appearance, and a
heightened color came to the cheek of
the young widow when the incident
of the photograph came to light Wisner
came back to consciousness little
the worse for his rude shake up to
meet the solicitous glance of the object
of his dreams for a long time
past Then explanation, renewed
kiSses from the affectionate little
Corinne, and an invitation to call
again.
There came a happy moment to
Boyd Wisner somewhat later. It was

love. Her drooping eyes lifted, bearing
a half-shy, half-mirthful expression.
"Tell something," she whispered,
and ho leaned toward her.
y "Other cheek!" and the romance ci
; bis life was fulfilled.

Bamberg; on Nov. 19?One
Day Only?Two Exhibitions.
Four hundred people employed and

for the appearance of

horses, rare wild animals and
the golden caravans are scheduled to

of the morning of the above date in

Circus day will begin with a big
street parade at 10:30 a. m., and two
performances will be given, the first

The grounds known as the McMillan
lot on Main street have been arranged
for by the agent and a number
of our merchants will receive contracts
to furnish immense quantities
of feed stuff for both man and beast.
The Sparks World Famous shows
have been successfully established for

a reputation second to none for the

with these shows.?adv.
For Appearance Sake.
One day Pat apeared on the street
with a huge tear in his coat sleeve.!
"Look here, Pat," protested a
friend, "why don't you get that hole
mended?"
"Not Oi, sor," said Pat; "a hole
may be the result of an accident, but
a patch is sure sign of poverty."
