- One morning 1 wa atandlng on the
porch looking down toward the rail
road which ruim'paat the other end
of ihe apple on-hard. The eiprcea
waa due lo a few ml mi lea, and I al
ways liked to we tt go by: There la
aomethlng ahotit a passing train to
wike na country people from our ae
ruatomed lethnnry. Irecntly I heard
a dlatant whistle and a moment later
miw Peter walking brlkly aa his halt
would permit toward the track. He
rllnited the fence dividing It from tbo
farm, dragging hi atllT leg over after
him and alood between the rail. At
Ibnt moment the train ahot out of the
wood I heard a auceenlon of aharp
whlafle and anw Peter, Instead of get
ting out of the train' way, lie down
on Mie tie. I shrieked and covered
ur ryea with my hand, but before
hutting out my vision caught a
glimpse of Mnry Ann wildly running
'oward the would lie suicide.
I heard tho trnln stop, a hissing of
ateam and a confusion of voice. One
of the farm hnnds came along, and
when I asked him If Peter had been
killed he told me thnt he would proh
hly die. since he had lost a leg. He
had tried to T Ttie frwcw m rne
last moment and hid removed nil of
hla body except one leg. which had
been crushed under the wheels.
"Oh. that leg!" I groaned. "I've been
sure It would ruin Mnry Ann'a happi
ness. 1 hope he's lost the one thnt
hna Wn tho rnuse of the trouble."
I saw an oeiilnB In aiiot of people
crowding around no-nothing beside tho
trnln. and two men emerged carrying
another on a stretcher. Mary Ann
walking liealde them wringing her
hnnds. They were bringing Peter to
the house. When they enme to wherel
was stniidlng and Mnry Ann saw mo
she walled:
"It's '.he leg! I knew there wna bad
hrk In It. Oh, w hy couldn't I leave It
alone"
Later ihe doclor car' iut of tho
house to the porch wjre I wna com
'orllng Marv Ann aa best I could.
'Tell ns quick!" I irled. "Will he

'He's lost n leg," he replied, "but It's

We never know when we are on th
brink of a change for tetter or for
worn. At forty I waa Ihed of life. I
bad built up a good practice In my
profession, th luw, and Ihe novelty
bad worn off legal quratlon. I loved
no one, aud no one loved me. 1 waa a
member of several cluba, but tbey had
grown to b very dull places to me. Aa
for aoclrty, the old wer too old and
the young too young for me. In ahort.
I bad exhausted tb plesiurea of youth
and had laid no foundation for those
of age.
On night I waa traveling on a aleep-
er. Lying In my berth, I mused: To
morrow mom log I shall arrive, go to
my room, bathe and then to the club
for breakfast. At 10 1 shall reach the
office, to 1 pestered all day by clients
who are dissatisfied with the law's de
lay or tb Injustice of Justice; on the
way to ray mom atop at the club for
the regular 5 o'clock cocktail; at 7
hunt for some one with whom to get
through a dinner; evening forced In
order to pass the tint to make a per
functory call; at 11 bring up at my
desolate quarter. And this will be my
program day In and day out. Oh, for a
Dew aensatloo!
"Here, darling, drink this."
The new sensation bad come the mo
ment I asked for It. The voice waa a
woman', soft and sweet. In tbe dim
light I aaw comet bing extended to me.
It waa a cup. I took It, and In doing
so my fingers grazed a soft band.
There waa a spasmodic effort on tbe
part of the giver to withdraw tbe enp,
bat I bad got my grasp on it and re
fused to pert with It. When I had
q united tbe ronleuta I extended It. but
there wa no band to take It I pot It
under my pillow and went to Bleep to
tbe sound of an angel'a voice aaylng:
-Here, darling, drink this."
In the morning I fished out tbe cup.
It wss of silver, and on It were the
letters Bennle." After drewlng 1
looked about me for Its owner and waa
not long In finding both Bennle and
ber mother. Tbey occupied tbe next
section to mlue. The mother feature
ware a refined as her voice. She was
about thirty and dressed In half
mourning.
Heaven forgive roe for hoping tbat
ber boy was fatherless!
I tried to catch ber eye, but never
did a woman before absolutely Ignore
me. She appeared to be absorbed In
her boy and had no eye for any one
else, certainly not for me. A a we
were entering Ihe terminal station I
slepiHHl op to Iter, doffed my bat, ex
tended the cup and said:
"Pardon me, madam, I think this
must be yours,"
"Not at all." waa the decided reply.
One would have supposed from the
aharpneaa of ber tone not at all like
tbe endearing word ot tbe nlgbt be
fore-that I had Insulted ber. This
Irritation and the fact that she would
not look at me convinced me that If
she was not the owner of tb cup ber
boy waa. A woman on meeting a
atranger to whom ahe has aald loving
ly. "Here, darling, drink this," would
naturally be ruffled.
Aa I aald lu the beginning, we don't
know what Is lu store for us. Tbe
night before I bad gone over what I
would do on tbe day of my arrival.
1 did nothing, aa 1 bad supposed 1
would. . I followed at a distance the
ladv and her boy, saw them enter a
carriage, took another myself and told
the driver not to let the first out of hla
eight. Half an hour later 1 made a
note of tbe street and number at which
tbey alighted. Instead of going to the
office tbat day I sat In the library of
the club reading. What I read waa,
"Here, darling, drink this," in every
Hue on every page. One other matter
alone occupied my thoughts 1 was
planning bow to find out all about
tbe lady and perhaps make ber ac
quaintance. The "perhaps" refers to
whether some one was living or dead.
When I learned tbat he was dead I
aald, "Thank" and checked myself.
I was not long In making the widow's
acquaintance through tbe good offices
of a mutual friend. What luck tbat
ahe had refused to look at me on tb
car! She met me with an unembar
rassed smile. My smile broke oot all
over me at once, like measles. If she
only knew! Thank heaven ahe doesn't!
During my call ahe mentioned ber lit
tle boy. Sly fox that I was. I pretend
ed to be surprised that ahe had a boy,
I asked how old he was, hla name,
whether he had begun to go to school.
She loved to talk about htm, ao I kept
Itnp.
There was a courtship, of course.
What else, could be expected on my
part concerning one who had said In
the nighttime of my loneliness, "Here,
darling, drink this?" All tbe while I
dreaded that she should discover tbat
I waa the man to whom ah bad said
It. But this waa sheer senseless ter
ror, for I had confided In no one. I
longed to restore Bennle's cup. Indeed,
I thought of giving hint a gold one.
but dared not teat the act might be)
tray me. I waited and hoped.
When I saw that the plum was rip
I plucked It. But not till the day be
fore our wedding did I dare bring
forth Bennle'a cup. Then I produced
It. looking somewhat anxiously for
what was to accompany its reception.
She threw ber arms around my neck.
