The truth of the. old savini? that fort
une favor thoso who wait has caiu
ktn illustrated in the caso of Lai Wiok
lund, an old ninii 03 years of n;.c, ami an
employe of tlio Illinois Central railroad
at MoConufll, anuio fifty miles north of
Miliin, Toim. Tho story reads like
romance. There rvs-ulod in the city of
Aberdoen, Scotland, (seventeen years jro
a rich and pro.-t'oroua jeweler, Mr. Lal
laml Wickliatu. it man of family, wliidi
down to the e.fHo of the paper. Before I i consist tM ot inmseir, ins wile, three sons
went I told my wife ainuit tne piece ana i and tliree uaiijjlilcrs.
STfHNGErtd VET.
that I wa coins to see about it. she saw
that Ixr.n excite.1 and she became aliinneil. j
Bhe hung on to me quite a w hile and said i
she Bisheil I wouldn't go. We had always;
gut along so well, and miic we had heen (
married I bad neer killed anybody, and she j
wi-he.1 1 would take her ailvice and not go, j
but I was thoroughly indignant and mad. j
So 1 went down, and at the counter I asked ;
to see the editor. j
"The young man at the window where I ;
went was counting the wonls in a 'Want' ad- j
vertiseiiient, and it was a long ti ne la-tore I j
could get his eye. Tlien he said in a brief, j
cold way that the editorial rooms were on the i
Hftli floor. 1 did not like his way, and I would j
have been glad to lick him if I could have got
over into his cage, but I couldn't. Then I
went to the elevator, t was going to get in,
but the elevator toy, who weighed alxxit
nineteen pounds, put bi hand against my
person and gently pushed me out.
You can't go upstairs without stating
jour nam and your business and who you J
want to see. Here Is a card that you can till ,
oil'
"He said I woul 1 have to lie explicit If I i
wanted the city editor, or the marine editor, j
or the literary editor, or the polo editor, or
the birth and death editor, or tlie scrapping
editor, I would Bud them in; but the manag
ing editor and th telegraph editor and tne
night editor and the mirth editor and th
bathing editor were all out.
"Finally I wont in and found a small, good
natured man that I could have handled with
out any troul le, but wuen I stated my busi
ness b? said that it was not in his line at all,
but that I ought to go to the city editor. By
that time the city editor had gone to lunch. I
waited for him till I got so hungry myself
that I thought I would fall start.
"When he came he had about nineteen men
to talk to ail a: once for an hour or so; then
ba let me in and I told bun what tne trouble
was. He didn't rvmemlwr any such story in
th? paper as I spoke about, but would find out
about it and see what reporter handed it in.
Meantime he would advise me to write out a
statement of my si !e of tae case and leave it
there. He would investigate tlie matter
when the reporters got iu in tiie evening.
The n;mH of the eldest son was John,
and lit) was euKiivd to a younir lady of
his native city by the name of Craig, one
of the foremost of the beautiful Scotch
maidens of Aberdeen. Their inarriaire
was only deferred, on account of gome
business transactions.
One day Wickland burst into his wife's
room, greatly agitated, and exclaimed:
"Mary, we are ruined utterly ruined!
The shop has beeu brokeu into and nt
least illJ.OOO worth of plate and jewelry
carried off. 1 have been with the de
tectives through all the holes in the city.
"I went to a long table and wrote most all j
the afternoon on a piece which was not so i
scathing when I got through witn it as I j
thought it was goin; to te, I tore it up. i
Then 1 wrote another one. Ii wusquitebitter, j
Lut not so bitter as I wUb.-d it had been. It I
had tame places in it wliere it seemed to all
flatten out and fail to get there. I never
suffered mentally so much in my life, and now
and then when I wiped my brow on the tail
of my lineu coat I could see that the city
editor seemed to enjoy it By dusk 1 Lad
completed an article that was carefully writ
ten, and yet I did not exoect that it Would be
copied Terr much. It was indued to be
ornate in irs style, and still there were words
in i: like 'egregious.' for instance, that I
didn't feel sure I had speued right It was
now ni'ht, and I went home, leaving my
article for the morning paper and feeling
proud that I was getting mixed np with
literature.
"My wife was anxious to find out if I Lad
anybody's gore on my hands before I went
Into dinner, but I convinced her that my heart
was still pure and guiltless, but that I bad
written a piece for the paper that would stir
up the town in the morning.
"I look.-d it throuu-h hurriedly, but didn't
find my piece. M.st everything else wa
there but that, however. It was crowded
out! Probably the mush and milk sociaoie
edit'T had a piece that be wanted to run in
in place of it, and owing to his influence he
had succeeded. I was greatly irntateL I
bad lost one day from my business, but I de
cided to go down to the office again and see
what the matter wai
"This time I got to the city editor at once,
and he said if I would write another state
ment he would protm.se that it should not be
overlooked, and said that as I was cooler now
I would no doubt write a better piece. So I
was fool enough to write another flapdoodle
card for the paper. It took me till U:1X), and
as near as I ran rememlr simply proved over
my own signature that I was an ice cream
man who aspin-d to be a large, stratv col
ored jackass. Wuen I took it in to the city
editor he asked tne if I had the slip cut from
the paper to wbich I referred. I produced
it He lookea it over a moment, and then Le
said:
'I am sorry that you have been here for
two days and sprained your Thinker over
this matter, and absorljed your b9 prepar
ing an exhaustive article for our paper in
your dofense, for this slip is cut out of some
other paper. I don't know what paper it is,
but we found no trace of the thief or
the goods. The detectives thiuk the
iwckIs will never be discovered, and we
are ruined if it is fx)." When this rob
bery occurred Johu Wickland was in
London, aud he read the news iu a Lou
dou newspaper. He burned home and
found the f.iuiilv in the greatest distress.
SKEKISU A NEW FORTUNE.
Formally days the Wieklauds indulged
themselves in the hope that some clew
would be found to the robbers aud their
precious wealth be restored to them.
These hopes wese never realized. The
robbery, as tlie police sjiid, had been
cleverly and cleanly done. No trace of
the perpetrators or any part of the prop
erty was ever discovered.
In the meantime Wickland had paid
all his outstanding debts, and found
himself a pauper without a sixpence, lie
might have uped the robbery as a plea
for bankruptcy, but he was too eonscien- I
tious ever to think of such a course, so
i he paid his debts to the last penny. The
I nttcr ruin which had overtaken the
i Wickland postpoued t lie proposed union
I between John aud Mhlrai;r, and Mr.
! Wickland stmirled on for a few years.
I his sou Johu a-s--istini; him all the while,
j bnt they could not even make a living.
! It seemed that fate was against him.
! About this time thousands of people
were leaving thj dd countries of Eurot
land head in;; for America. Mr. Wick
j laiid caught the emigration fever and
IocihI to come to this countrv. He Sold
j all his personal effects, and securin
I steerage p.usssie for his family lauded in
! .eiv iurs. He had s.iue money aud it
j went fast, lie Reran to rt-idize that he
j must find sumettiin;; to do.
He left New York and went to St
i Louis. When they arrived in that city,
aouie fiftofrii vears .tiio, thev had verv
little h ft. The Rys found em ploy men t
, as hands n the ra.lruad. In 1NI thev
; came to Cairo, Ills., mid the boy stayed
I there, while the old gentleman secured a
position further south, at McConnell, as
track walker and keejer of the tanks in
that vicinity.
li AI P1.NESS AT l-lsT.
For years they have battled withiiffi
culti' s. During all this time John and
Miss Crais kept up correspondence until
in .oVeiuU -r, two, -Miss Craig was
ajrreeably surprised at the suddeu and
nnexjiected nj pe.-.rance in his native city
of John Wickland, who Rire the joyful
intelligence that his fainilv, thoir fortune
restored, wonl 1 soon be in their old home.
How was it?
This happy termination came out in
this wise: A man named Johnauu located
himself at McConnell as a merchant.
runiiin:; a plantation and supply store.
His wealth in ready money was the talk
of the tow n. He sold goods rapidly aud
made money hand over fist. He took
great interest in the Wieklauds and
seemed to evince especial interest in the
facts relating to their robbery and ntter
ruin. It finally came out that Johnson
had been a prison bird and the cold
shoulder was turned to him by Lncy
Wickland, to whom he was paying at
tention. Tiiis seemed to nettle him, and
he sent for the old gentleman to come to
him.
Their interview lasted two hours. At
length Johnson confessed that it was he
who had robbed Wickland of his wealth,
and coming to this country bad trebltd
ma possessions, lie gave the old man
his check for $-0,000. So soon as this
happened the Wicklands decided to re
turn to their native land. When John
son heard of their determination he in
sisted on paying their passage back to
Scotland.
The strangest feature of the affair was
that Johnson immediately sold out all
his belongings aud went back to Scot
land a mouth after the family of Wick
land had returned, and a letter from him
to a friend announcing his marriage to
Miss Lucy Wickland, eldest daughter of
the man whom he had robbed, haa been
received St. Louis Globe-LV'iaocrat.
Roinantlo Uetiim l a Tliuld Oilman
t.lil nlili a Volunteer ( hei.m.
I never paw Carroll avime but I
think ol the pretty little story told to n
group ol li one evening by one of
out clmrnim-.,' south side matrons. 1
i. . i i.. v.
was a country svnooi ma mi m .
uioiit. receiving a salary of .'J a
inoitli when 1 iimde up my mind to j
come to Clilor.i.M mid learn stenogra
phy I IkmI a sister p.iarried nnd living j.
in a suburb of the city She promise!
to help me nil she could, and I re
mained wiih tier until 1 hml tluislied
studxiiijj nnd was ready for it pisithm.
Having nbtniiKMl the vvsition 1 dis
covered that my limited incotuo wouhl
not ullow me to viy car fare to such a
distance s my sister lived. As sh
ami her husband wore pisir it was do
eitled that I sliwiild hnik for a Rxtrd
lug place on the west side. I senrched
the paers diligently and found the de
sired Imveti on t'nrroll avenue.
At lirst I found it very comfortable
and ejisy, and enjoyed coming home
after n long day's work and settling
myself to sewing or reading. Hut nt
the diiys grew shorter, ami the nights
act in curlier, 1 felt myself iHVoming
afraid to walk the two blocks that lay
between the street car corner and my
room, and this fear was not diminished
any after a man had stoped me one
evening and I had rushed into the
house frightened and breathless from
running It may be very silly to one
who has never been afraid, but I suf
fered cruelly as the car nenred my cor
nor, ami several nights I could not Hud
tlie courage to got otT, and reuijiined on
the car. riding several blocks past, and
of course only prolonged the distance
of the walk.
One fearfully dark aud stormy even
ing the car was literally packed, and I
stood holding on to a strap in the ex
treme front, when the loneliness of my
position, my timidity and thoughts of
an employer out of liutnor all day com
pMely overcame mo and I liegiui to
cry.
it seemed as if 1 could not leave the
car and step into the darknesw and
storm. Presently I felt a hand touch
me. nnd a voice said .
"What is tiie matter f
'1 am afruid to go home," I said. I
Wits 11 years old. but I felt like a Imby.
"Where do you get ofTi" asked the
voice.
"At St. John's place." 1 replied, and
Just then the conductor called out the
street, and I pushed my way to the
rear platform ami stepped off. As I
did so the young man who had que
tioned me stepped off also, and snid:
"I live up this way. ami, if you will
allow me. I shall set) you home."
And all that winter, except the few
nights w hen he did not chance to be on
uiy car. for which I think he must have
watched, lie saw me home.
I never learned his name or where he
lived, nor do I think lie knew my nuio.
He never stopped at the door to talk,
nor presumed umh bis kindness in any
way. and when the long days came
again lie dis.ipo!irvd entirely, and I,
soon nfter leaving the west side, have
never seen or heard of him since.
I often think of tlie incident, though,
and as I grow oi ler it shows up to me
in a very beautiful light, as compared
w ith so many darker colors that go to
uiiike up the annals of evening life iu a
large city - Chicago Itter.
