    TIRED MOTHERS.
A little elbow leans upon your knee.
Your tired knee, that has so much to bear;
A child'a dear eyes are looking lovingly
from underneath a thatch ol tangled hair.
Perbapa you do not heed the velvet touch
01 warm, moiat Angers, folding youra to tight;
Tou do not prize thia blessing overmuch ;
You are almost too tired to pray tonight.
Sut It la blessedness I A year ago
I did not see it as I do today;
We are so dull and thankless and too alow
To catch the aunshine till it slips away,"
And now it seema surpassing strange to me
That, while 1 wore the badge of motherhood,
1 did not kiss more oft and tenderly
, The little child that brought me only good.
And if some night, when you sit down to rest.
You miss the elbow from your tired knee.
This restless, curling head from off your breast.
This lisping tongue that clatters constantly;
If from your own the dimpled Jgands had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet Into their grave had tripped, ..
I could not blame you tor your heartache then!
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown.
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet.
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If 1 could kiss a rosy, restless foot
And hear a patter in my home once more;
If I could mend a broken cart today, -
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the sky,
There la no woman in God's world could say 1
h She was more bliasfully content than L
But, ah, the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head I
My singing birdllng from Its nest baa flown;
The little boy I used to kiss Is dead 1

"It's a troublesome thing to have, Is
conscience abnormally developed,"
ruminated Olivia. "Next to being com
monsuuible or trying to be dignified
there's nothing bo likely to render one
ridiculous and unpopular. I almost
Wish It was possible to have one's con
science shaved like a beard, or ampu
tated like a corn, or pulled out like a
defective tooth. Personally, I'm rath
er tired of being a perpetual slave to
the thing called conscience."
"What's the matter now?" I queried.
Xou see, I knew Olivia very well have
known her since she was an Infant In
arms, In fact and I could read the
signs of her mental unrest. I knew she
had been "opening her mouth and put
ting her foot Into It" once more, as the
Irishman said. Olivia Is rather unfor
tunate that way always. If there's
any tongue troublo going any aere,
she's pretty sure to pick It up some
how or other.
"Oh, It's nothing hew at least not
more than a half a dozen hew brain
pangs or uoiiucltuiv pnlus," she replied,

A dear little girl Is Olivia, all the
more lovable, perhaps, because of the
Inconsequence which Is naturally bers.
She "rambleB on sweetly," as her sis
ter says of her when conversing with
her Intimates Just thinking aloud. I
knew I should get to the bottom of her
latest troublo presently If only I didn't
Interrupt and send her oft on another
track at a tangent, so I merely smiled
sympathetically and waited In silence.

presently, "I don't believe I was a bit
popular, although I think most people
liked me. And I know I didn't havo
half the fun some of the other girls
did, and all because my conscience was
lloated,' as my older brother said.
"I never left my Sunday school les
son unlearned or my music lesson uu
practiced because I wanted to go violet
turning or coasting Saturday after
noon," she continued, with a sigh. "I
was too conscientious for that. And I
always owned up to the mischief I'd
done and refused to share In the tri
fling cousequences of the mischief I
Hadn't done for the very same reason.
When I became a trifle older, I passed
low In many an examination Iwcause I
wouldn't make use of borrowed lan
guage or look at my books the very last
thing. A little later I earned unpopu
larity among my follows because I
never would say I was glad to see any
ene when I could not say so honestly,"
And now
"And the worst of It all Is that I
don't believe. I ever was or ever will
be one bit the better for all these con
science troubles," was the commence
ment of the nest "ramble," for the
sake of which she left the previous one
unfinished. "As a tittle child worrying
over my Sunday school lesson 1 cor- '
talnly sinned just as nmrh on the side
of spiritual pride and childish 'puffed- .
upedness' as I would have done on
the grounds of neglect of duty had I
enjoyed my Saturday afternoons as the
other children did. It Is on open ques
tion If I wouldn't have been a really
belter girl. bad 1 sometimes kept still,

frih knowledge I would have none of.
and, Hltlniujrli I never did say I was
fdad to siv tiny one falsely. I've strain
ed the truth and cracked my con
science's futmy bone many a time try
ing to think of some other convention
ally plcnsint thins! to say. And now"
"Well, what Is Itr I pressed her, de
termined to fathom the trouble at last
"What has happened 'nowf "
'But she merely shook her head
mournfully and rambled on.
"It's a point of conscience with me.
It always has been, to look at all things
from both sides, and. In consequence,
auay time I've looked at a given
tjaeatlon from both sides of the fenc4

have writhed under thi knowledge
that people thought I was sailing with
the wind, and so on.
" 'You run with the bare and hunt
with the hounds, don't you?' a girl said
to me last week, and, mean as she was,
I understood Just how she thought It
was true. And yet I was only follow
ing out the dictates of my abnormal
conscience and trying to be just
"Another girl last week asked me If
the powder on her face showed, and
When I said yes she fairly hated me.
My conscience didn't allow me to say
no, and It never occurred to me until
long afterward that I might have
pleasantly brushed off the powder for
her which did show and left the pow
der which didn't show alone without
saying anything at all. Two days ago
my brother's wife asked me what I
thought of her complexion, and be
cause my conscience . compelled me to
tell her the truth she went home with
out bidding me good night or speaking
to me again. She hasn't spoken, to me
since, In fact. And things have gone
on after this fashion until I am tired
of it.
"When 'Robert Elsmere' first came
out, It was a point of conscience with
me not to read It, and every one called
me 'saint' and 'prig' until life was a
weary burden. A week or two ago
some of us were talking of It and It oc
curred to me that it was a point of
conscience not to condemn a thing un
read. The consequence was that I suf
fered tortures on account of dislocated
religious principles for a whole week.
Then It occurred to me that It was a
point of conscience not to let anything
shake my faith or Interfere with my
religious stability, and that particular
conscience trouble gave way to an
other. I always have one or more on
hand, as you know."
I did know. I never knew Olivia
when she didn't have a whole sheaf of
such trials and tribulations on band.
I was dying to hear all about the last
new conscience wrench, and she would
not come to the point I did not dare
to hurry her for fear of never hearing
of It at all. ' '
"Wnen my friends and relatives make
fun of Delsarte exercises or the new
est form of athletics, my relentless
conscience always Impels me to try
these things personally, just so that I
can discuss them Intelligently and
without prejudice. In consequence I'm
seldom without a backache or a sprain
ed muscle or something equally pleas
ant. Let a politician, a private Indi
vidual, a cause or .anything else, for
that matter, become unpopular, and
my tyrannical conscience compels me
to champion It or him or them. As a
result bnlf the people I know are con
tinually writing me down as a miser
ably disputatious and disagreeable per
son." Which was putting the matter entire
ly too strong. But then that's Olivia's
way. It's a point of conscience with
her to make the trorot -of hovoolf toe
fear she should be untruthfully com
plimentary. "It's always been so," she moaned
now, beginning to sob a little, "but
now It's worse than ever. Now"
"If you don't- come out with It now,"
I broke In, unable to restrain my Impa
tience much longer, "I shall go stark,
staring, raging, raving mad and either
kill you or myself. Now"
"Now," said Olivia, breaking down
utterly and crying as though her heart
would break, "now Charley and Harry
have both proposed to me. Tbey did It
a month ago. I put them both on pro
bation because I liked them both, and
It was a point of conscience with me
to treat them both just alike and fairly,
although I can't help saying that I
really like Barry a little bit the better,
and now they botb accuse me of flirt
ing, and neither of them will speak
to me at all. And It's all because my
unfortunate conscience won't let me
alone." " . ' ,
"Well, dearie, there's one recompense
anyhow,", I volunteered consolingly
when I had comforted her by promis
ing to set matters right with the one
she "liked a little bit the best." "Peo
ple can't help respecting any one who's
so Intensely conscientious and so very
much In earnest about It as you are."
"Oh, I don't know about that." re
torted Olivia, relapsing Into a modified
condition of gloominess again. "I
don't know about that at all. Of
course, the men who like you say that
sort of thing to your face very often,
but they're a great deal likely to call
you tt silly little priggish Idiot behind
your back, and the girls one knows
don't even pretend to respect t one.
They simply say you're a miserable,
contemptible little prig to try to be so
much better than other folks and that
you make everybody uncomfortable
about you and let It go at that. No:
there Isn't much comfort In being more
conscientious than other people, and I
sometimes wonder If the best people
In the world, as well as the happiest,
aren't the people who have only just
enough conscience to keep them rea
sonably honest and klud aud not too
Mg an allowance to live comfortably
with."
And really, despite Hie fact that I
firmly believe Ironclad consciences to
be necessary. In great numbers, to the
proper conduct and salvation of this
gay and sinful but altogether adorable
world, at least In this present day and
generation. It seemed to me that Olivia
had either proved her case or some
thing very like. I don't In the least
know how to reconcile the two aspects
of the subject, however. Perhaps
some of the rest of you can help me

You have read, of iadveatures and
mysteries connected witU loci-motives,
but on the B. and Q.-road we had a
plain, ordinary frelghtvcar watch camel
to be talked about more than all the
rest of the rolling stotk put together.
It was a stoutly built box car, painted
a dark brown, and the huiubei on sides
and ends was 1414. 'he first trip of
the car was down to Petersburg, to be!
loaded with wheat (There' yere six
empty cars In all on the fain, all
wheat cars, and they ere in -the 'mid
dle of a string of 30 cars.- Flit ?n miles!
north of Petersburg was thex-rossingj
of the M. P. road. At, the crying all
trains had to slacken speed, a.'d whem
this particular train d)-ew uer stearaj
was shut off, and the sjpeed of 20 miles!
an hour was reduced jto ten, . No car!
had ever jumped the track at the cross-:
ing, but on this occnslod o. 1414
broke away from the car shea I ant? be
hind, jumped the track's and in a dis
tance of 50 feet over jthe hasjj baked
earth, to bring up against h' sv!t'h
man's shanty and demolish It-; No oth
er car left he tracks. The division su
perintendent and mister , oechnuic
swore that it was utjter norsense to
talk of a single car cutting itself out
of a train In that fashion, but they bad
to swallow their words. Tha only dam
age to No. 1414 was the broleri coup
lings and when pulled bacfc n the
tracks she was ready; to in'e 1ght
qff. No reason could tj given Whj she
had cut loose, and thei-e was ?onsP' r-
able gossip over the Incident j, Y
The next affair In th hi "; ' -li
box car occurred aboiji :."" it
and gave her a ghostly smiling the
whole length of the Hue. She jpud bton
unloaded at Beamer's Station and left
on the siding to be picked up.: It Uv. ri
pened that she was the only cjar there, i
and when the station agent cjjosed for !
the night he saw thai her wlrJeis v ere I
securely Diocuea against uie ; rising f
wind. At midnight, uniierJitJodrhliig
Influence of a gale, that ciirt'jlluilied;
over a tie with all her wheel:, rau 'up:
to the switch, jumped the track- at tht j
frog, and after plowiug aloins for 5
feet she took fhe rails of he main)
track and went scooting to the ;m ;J
She had a clear road to Elraer, 30 ru'.U'.i
away, but she didn't travel jhe whe'e"
distance. If she bad, she wiuld buvii
smashed Into the express, hive inil-t
from Elmer No. 1414 left trj; rails tit
what was called the B!g Culvert, to ik
a header off the stone bridge into the
creek and next day was foui,d a quar
ter of a mile down stream.; Charges
were made agalnBt the station aeitt
for carelessness, but he had had help
to block the wheels. The bly cedar tie
was at hatid with the ma.ks of tie
wheels as tbey bad ground tver It It
was easy to trace tfie car frOn the frog
to where she bad gradually, olrobed up
on the main track. There bM been no
carelessness, but there wai myBtety.
There was nothlr g wrong with the
rails where the car had left the main
track, and when the car Itself was
found and overhauled she ladn't been
damaged to the amount of I cents. ' I
Railroad men like a mysvry retard
ing car or locomotive, but tailroad offi
cials detest one. When No. 1414 was
hauled back on the track, tie men were
for branding her with tjie title ' of
"Ghost." but an order wrnt up and
down the line to keep ham's oil. Give
f car or an engine a bad name, iud
you pave the way to som-body being
killed. While no one Oared chulk mark
this car, her eccentricities became
known over every mile of the road, and
employees were gosslplug'as to what
she would do next The next thing
after jumping the culvert was a trage
dy. She had been loaded with shilled
com In bulk at RomersvIRe for Chica
go, aud before the doors were tipsed
four hoboes enscouceit themselves
among the corn. It was a 2 1 hours' Vide,
sud they had a soft bed of It. NoJl414
was attached to a freight train ajbout
7 o'clock lu the evening and wn: the
last car, or next to the caboose. No
cue was really afraid of tier, but here
was a bit of uneasiness as site was
picked up, and special care was aken
to see If her brakes were In good rder
and her Journal boxes W'll parked.
Away she went with the others, aud
nothing happened until the train leach
ed Iron Hill. It Lmi to side track
there for a passengci train aixl tn pick
up three or four ours, in backing down
the long siding No. 14 14 suddenly left
the track, DreaKiug loose trout tie ear
ahead and the cal .e behind anil run
ning off at right ntirhs, IVriuijately,
she did not ruu over the main (track,
but took j the otw " lo and
brought up ajra'i.?'- C0 .,hp aud
reared up on eJ 5- , rtort b there
like a ladder piut'ti tcltiM a house
and had toie reported ' is a J-ib for the

was haulfl back on tti track and In
spected $e dead bodies of tbc hoboes
were dlsfovered. Tbey find been smotb-

The faster inechriuU set to work to
dIscoTr why No, 144 was a track

It wa: suspected that ouietti,u must

taken to the shop and tiffed off the
trucks, and axles and wheels were In
spected down to a fine hair. ' The
wheels were absolutely true, and so
were the axles and the bang of the
trucks. No better box car was ever
built, but No. 1414 was not sent back
on the road for a few weeks. The offi
cials waited until the gossip had died
out. There was talk of giving her a
new number, but that would have been
admitting that she was a "queer" car.
fter a vacation of eight weeks the
sir w.as loaded with flour for Wells
rllle and made the trip without Inci
dent. She was reloaded with shooks
for a Chicago cooper, but not wtthout
an adventure. There was a rich old
widower at Wellsvllle 'named Carney,
and he had a lovable daughter named
Mary. While the girl was In love with
a young fellow named Phillips, the fa
ther wanted her to marry a man of his
own choice. The result was an elope;
ment and perhaps the only one of the
kind ever heard of. With the conniv
ance of the station agent Phillips and
the girl were locked up In No. 1414,
provided with food and water, and
while the wrathy old father was rldiug
over the highways with a shotgun in
his hands and , blood In his eye the
happy lovers were on their way to Chi
cago to be married. ,
Two weeks later the car cut up rusty
again. ' She was loaded with agricul
tural Implements aud bound west and
was In the middle of a train. After
running along as smoothly as you
please for 30 miles she suddenly balk
edthat Is, her wheels gripped the
rails as If both brakes had been twist
ed by a giant's band, fire flew from the
rails, and, as the coupling on the next
car ahead gave way, the train broke In
two, and there Was cussing to beat the
band. There was no earthly excuse
for such conduct on the part of 1414.
Her journals' were well packed, the
brakes off and the track all right
When the train was coupled up. she
moved off with the other cars like a
snake going over the grass, but after a
ten mile run she gripped again and
again broke the train. She was tried
again, and for the third time she cut
up rusty. This happened near a sid
ing, and she was cut out of the train
and pulled in and left there. In the
cutting out not one of ber wheels
would turn. They simply slid along
the rails. When the conductor report
ed the adventure he was given to un
derstand that such stories didn't go.
It was held that his train crew ought
to have sense enough to discover what
i.was wroug, and the five of them barely
Ceseaned a ten dnv lav off. Thev es
caped It because a mechanic was sent
down from the shops who reported
that, while be could find nothing wrong
with the car, she had certainly gripped
and balked and broken, the -train,- as
reported. When hauled off the siding,
she rolled to her destination without
causing the slightest -trcuble.
It had become cerraki that car No.
1414 was" a "queer critter." and every
body along the line was buy guessing
What would happen next Two weeks
after her fit of sulks she was billed for
Chicago with a load of potatoes. She
had rolled along for 100 miles without
the slightest hitch when the freight
train going east passed the express
going west both under full speed on
the double tracks. Of a sudden No.
1414 cast one of her fore wheels. It
was on the Inner side, and that wheel
went smashing Into the drawing room
car and killed three passengers. It Is
not once in ten years on any railroad
that a car wheel files off; It was one
chance in a million that this wheel
should fly off at that particular spot
and that particular angle, but that was
what happened. Strangely ., enough,
the freight train was not "wrecked.
Even with a wheel gone the car held to
the rails and mads a run of ten miles.
There was a cry of "hoodoo" all along
tne line, nut the car was repaired aud
run out again. She was an object of
curiosity from end to end of the road,
ana mere were engineers who said
they would rather have a ghost In the
cab than that car lu the train behind..
It was a month before No. 1414 made
another kick. Then she grinned the
rails and broke a train, and that on a
down grade. She was heavily loaded
with grludstones. and. as a siding Imp.
pened to be bandy, she was shoved off
by herself. This siding was half a mile
long and ended at a mort:ss. A buffer
had been placed at that end, of course,
but four hours after the ear bad been
left and. as another train was ready
to pick her up. she could not be found.
There was the siding, but where was
the car? There had been no wind of
account, but when they came to closely
investigate they found that car No.
1414 had run down on the buffer with
force enough to uproot it and had then
taken a bender into the quagmire. A
comer of It was still visible, but before
the wreckers got there the entire body
of the ear was ten feel below the sur
face and still going down, it might
, have .perhaps been recovered and Its
freight saved, but when the superin
tendent was told how things were he
telegraphed to the wreckers:
"If she doesn't eotii? easv, let her go
io !"
I don t know whether she went as
far down as that or not. but the last
soundings placed her at 33 feet, and
she was given up as a total loss, and
everybody felt relieved.
