TIM THE ACTOR.
" Arent you a little more attentive
to Mies Grald than it Is ntcessary for
as attorney to be to his type-writerl?"
asked Margaret Fenton of her brother.
" Probably," he answered ; " but not
more attentive than I find it agreeable,
sister mine "
" What taste you have ! She isn't
even pretty."
" Not particularly so: but all men
are not fascinated by a pretty face;
there are other qualities we admire."
" if you want to be married for your
money, by an ambitious young woman
of no social position-uo family prestige
-very well."
"1 believe, Margaret, the ditler3neo
between the Geralds and ourselves Is
simply a question of money. Mother,
was it not yourself who asked me to
employ Miss Gerald."
" Yes, Donald ; her father and yours
were college chums; your father chose
a mercantile life and made money;
Mr. Gerald entered the ministry ; he
and his wife are educated, retined peo.
ple, but, as Margaret says, are poor.
I am glad you could show your fattner's
friend a favor by finding employment
for his daughter. Perhaps we should
have had her at the house oftoner."
"I think Donald has done the honors
for the family quite generously, mam
ma. By the way, Donald, Carrie
Denning le coming this week ; can you
possibly spare time to help entertain
her ?"
" Gladly ; I shall be as attentive to
your friends as I desire you to be to
mine." And he left for the oilleo.
" Margaret, don't say any more
against Annie Gerald ; it is just the
way to drive Donald to propose to her.
Let him alone. I will trust his judg
mont."
" A man in lova has no judgment,"
replied the daughter. Then added,
under her breath, " There are ways of
preventing his making a fool of him
self. I have my heart on his marrying
Carrie. I'll drop in the oflice to-day
Donald sid he would be out."
The typewriter and cilice boy were
alone.
" Mr. Fenton will not be in until 4
o'clock," said Miss Gerald.
" How provoking," returned Mar
garet. "I will rest a moment, if you
don't object."
"Certainlv not." was the answer.
"Mamma and I were talking about
you this morning," continued Marga
ret; " we were saying we must have
you at the house oftoner, as our fathers
were dear friends."
"It would be very pleasant, I am
sure."
" Just now I am busy , a dear friend,
Carrie Danning, comes this week.
She's almost in the family, you know
and Donald has a round of gayetics
planned in her honor. I tell him he ii
getting gay for a staid lawyer, who
aspires to be a judge, but you know
men in love are such unaccountable
creatures."
"I suppose so," murmured the girl
dreamily, as her eyes rested on the
flowers she bad found on her desk that
morning.
" If you were the sister (if one yo-a
would know it. But. we a1t love her
and are willing to do bomage. Mam
ma has just set her heart on this mar
riage. Carrie is charming, and has
wealth, beauty and position, all that
Donald's wife should have. But, dear
me, I'm keeping you from your work ;
how thoughtless In me! Good-bye,
dear."
" There," she ejaculated as she
closed the door ; "she may think about
that, and I'll keep Denald out of her
way."
Miss Gerald leaned her head on her
desk. Shame and anger filled her
heart. Anger that Mr. Fenton should
(iare tiflas with her when his heart
was another's. True, lie had not
spoken his love, but he had expressed
it in many ways ; shame, thbat sue had
not realized the diffoi once in their
several posItions, but had accepted all
as a girl would the advance of true love.
She could never look bim in the face
again, she concluded.
A cough from Tim, the cifice boy,
roused her. She had forgotten him.
" I say, Miss Gerald," said Tim soft
ly, ' yer know I'm yer true frien' after
wet you done fur ma an' me when she
was sick, an' I w ish you wouldn't mind
and wouldn't look so white an' scarry."
"I'm sIck, that is all."
"1I wouldn't care," ho said.
"Tim, when Mr. Danton returns tell
him I was taken ill and went home.
Here is a half-dollar ; please don't tell
him anything you heard. If you are
my friend Tim, you won't," and she left
the office.
"Now," mused Tim, "this is excit
ing:; jest like the plays on the stage. I
allers wanted to be a hero in one, an'
now's my chance. H~ow'lL I do it ? I
can't Jose my job by mindin' other folk's
bizniss."
He delivered Miss Gerald's message,
but no surprise was expressed.
" 'Tain't no stage play after all ; he's
too tame," he muttered.
The following day Donald received a
letter from Miss Gerald saying che
would not return to her position. He
re-iread the letter; intuitively he seem
ed to know something was wrong.
" Tim, was Miss Gerald very ill yes
terday afternoon ?"
"Now the plot's beginning ; stage
play, sure onuil," said the boy to him
self.
" She was all right till your sister
come, an' after that she was pretty
' After my sister came in ?"
" Yes, sir, she come in and being as
you warn't here, she sot an' rested an'
talked awhile, yer see."
Fenton turned to the window with a
puzzled look, then faced the boy.
" Tim, did you hear what my sister
said yesterday ?"
" Yes, sir," replied the lad, his face
aglow ; "I hoerd the hull on it. Your
sister didn't see me, but I was here all
right."
" What did she say ?"
" Now, boss, I can't tell yor ; I'm
busting to; It's just like the folks on
the stage, but Miss Gerald gave inc 50
cents not to tell yer an' she's been aw ful
good to ma an' me."
K"I will give you these two silver dol
lars to tell me."
Tim held the dollars in his hand.
" An' won't make enny trouble fur
Miss Gerald, an' you won't turn her
off ?"
" Nor me, neother ?"
" Honor bright, boss ?"
" Honor bright."
" Well, yer, see, 'twas this erway."
began the boy excitedly, " your sister
come in an' she told Miss Gerald as
how yer was awfully in love with a gal
what's comin' to yeir house this week ;
a gal thet's pretty an' rich; thet you're
a-goen' to marry her an' yer so dead
gone on her, y, r want to be a judge,
an' yer ma is awful glad. An' when
she went out Miss Gerald jest sot still
an' got awful white. I was scairt. I
told her not to care, but she jest
looked at me like she'd faint, an' went
"Thank you Tim; you've earnod hat
your money. We'll close the otlice now. too
1 have some importart busines out of the
town to-day and you may have an after- wo
noon off." Oh
" Hooray," cried Tim to himself; "a a I1
whole afternoon and two silver dollars. gri
I wonder if them play actors feel like hau
I do." we
That cvening Donald Fanton rang a<
the bell of the parsonago in Hampton mo
and inquired for Miss Annie. pla
"She has a bad headache and doesn't fri4
want to see any one," said the maid. pol
" Tell her that a friend desires t) sue th1 11(
her on very important business ; you say
need give no name." trii
He sat In the little parlor wondering an(
how he should make known his errand. sh
lie was a practical man; when he tried kni
his first case he was not as nervous as gel
now. (ue
" Mr. Fenton, you here ?" gasped no
Annie, as she entered the room. fro
" I came to see why you left my em- a g

Tim was thoroughly scared. " Oh, ro

George Francis Train is now an old er
man and has seen lots of trouble. He N
was an eloquent, gif ted crank and made 224
quite a noise in the world thirty and w
forty years ago, but was never a sue- di
cess, and so he soured on the world and t
swore olf from It. He dielarod that man h
was a fraud, a hypocrite and woman t
was weak and helpless and that little
children were the only happy and un- g
contaminated creatures In this wicked qu
world and the only acciety he shouldn
mingle with as long as he livcd. It has
now been about twenty-five years since y
he swore off and from that time his "i
daily habit has been to visit some park O
in New York every day and take a Mij
busket of confections or fruits and all
his pockets full and make headquarters g
on the same park bench and gather a
around him a score or two of little if
folks and feed them and play with
them and listen to them as they laugh, go
and romp and frolic. They all know
him and love him and irun to him when -
he comes like little chicks run to the cia
old hen's call. 1 saw him once and drew Cu
near with a friend to hear what he was tai
telling the children, but ho spied us whi
an'd stopped talking and noon moved kn
away to another seat and the children wb
followed him. Before the civil war I th<
heard him make an outdoor speech at en
Rlochester to a very large audience and .
he advocated the policy of the govern- no,
ment issuing ten thousand millions of wo
money so that every man could have da
his pockets full and every woman her at
bosom full and then, said he, we would ha
build railroads and canals and docks ar
and churchen and ships and steamboats Va
and monuments and live like kIngs and
princes. The government has the right o
to issue it and has the presses to print
it and why don't, they do it and give it --
away to the people and make every body
happy." Just then a countryman cried
out : " But hold on Train, wouldent
there be a collapse after awhIle ?" d
Train looked at hIm with contempt as
he replied: " Why, of course there U
would. Any fool would know that, but
the railroads and docks and canals and
churches wouldent collapse. They
would be there, wouldent, they ?" And
the crowd yelled : " H urrah for
Train I" It was hard to teil whether
he was a fool or a phijosopher. His
redeeming trait Is his fondness for
children.
These little chaps that come to my Tl
house are my daily annoyance and my
daily comfort. They make trains on the cal
floor with my books and mess up my ca
table and draw ponies and dogs or make c
me do it. One of them turned over my a
ink yesterday and seemed very sorry D
and said : " Gran'pa, I so sorry ; I beg Di
my pardon. I won't do it any more- th
will I ?" anid e put her lIttle around
my neck and kIssed me. She made me ac
glad that she had spied the ink. Some org
of them are making speeches now and i

like a schoolboy, and then I love to
glance at the mother to see the sweet,
proud look upon her face. That look
seems to say that is my child; Isn't she su
smart ? And then I glance at my wife, prd
the grandmother, and her contented
look seems to say : " My grandchild ; rel

VtIC DARK AN D BLOODY GROUND
I. ntucky's History Has Been Iver
Marked by Exciting Political
Rvents.
Kentucky was early called " the
dark and bloody ground," because of
the sanguinary strifes enacted within
its borders between contending tribes
of savages, and has ever retained the
characteristics and traits then do
veloped to a intrked degree. From
the political turoulence which pre
coded and followed Its advent into the
Union as a State, down to the present
revolutionary proceedings now being
enacted at its State Capital, Kentucky
is nothing if not radical. Tuis spirit
le, no doubt, due to the tifluence and
training of the pioneer settlers, whose
circumastances and surroundings made
them a race seldom equailed for
strength and intullect and will, physi
cal and moral courage, personal prow
ess and endurance. Many of the
most intelletual and cultivated olicers
of the Revolution settled in Kentucky
at the ciot.e of the war in 1781, and it.
is a matter of history that never did a
population so small in numbers em
brace so many who were giants in in
tellect, daring and physical propor
tions.
Kentucky's tiret civil existence be
gan in the spring of 1783, when it was
erected Into a diotrilct with a Court oi
criminal and civl jurisdiction. At
that time the territory was a nart of
Virginia. The failure of the E iglish
to surrender their Norihwester-n fposts
within the United States instigated
constant Indian hostiiitk-es, and the
citizens of Kentucky sought a separa
tion from Virginia, in order that they
might lawfully plrotect themselves
from the savages. Proecedings were
begun to tecurio constit utional separai
tion. Virginia aLcquiesded, provided
that Congress woulu assent and receive
the now State into the Union. But
two circumstances about tnis time oc
curred to create great hostility in Ken
tucky againut te General Gove-ra
ment. One was the utter inability of
Congress to protect them from the de
predations of the Indians, and the
other was the dispositIon of an element
in Congress to yield to Spain for t went~y
years the right to navigate the Missis
sip~pi River in exchange for commer
cial privileges beneficial only to the
Easteorn States. This aroused intense
dIssatisfaction in Kentucky, and Gen.
James Wikinson, a Revolutionar-y
officer, who had settled in Laxington,
boldly advocated rebellion and separa
tion from the Union. ils movement,,
however, did not gain any consider
able following. T1his was in 1786.
For four years the hgitation for a
separate State progressed. Gen. WiI
kinson continued to be a revolutionary
factor and advocated an independont,
government, which, he said, Spain
would recognize and cede to it the
right of navigatIon of the Mississippi.
Agents from Canada also intrigued
with the malcontents, urging Kentucky
to unite with tihe northern 10nglish
provinces. In the meantime Gen.
Washington was elected Prusident,,
and strongly recommended the accept,
ance of the Virginia Act of Separa
tion by Congress. On February 4,
1791, an Act for that purpose passeo
both houses of Congress, was signed by
President Washington and Kentucky
became a State.
In Ddcember, 1791, a Constitutional
Convention was elected, which met in
the following April and formed the
first Constitution of Kentucky. The
basis of representation by counties was
~tbandoned and nunmbers established
Instead. The 10xecutive, S-mate and
