Pfcytlolsvn' Prescription Compounded. MRS. WITS BOX. My story begins on the care; so if you don't mind too abrupt a iump you tan follow mo on to the Blankvillo & Now York train, bound for the latter place wmcn, n everybody knows, with slow time and waiting for another train, and cows on the track, was in early times a two days' journey. When I climbed aboard the car and settled in my seat, 1 was in a resigned frame o mind, with two newspapers and a novel in my picket. I soon fell to stud vim; mv neiirhliors. There was a fat old gentleman across tlie way a 250-poundor at least with a double chin ami a merry eye, who was chuckling over some newspaper jokes; a slim young man and his mother in the seat in ironi oi tuo out gentleman, aim an old fellow with pop-eyes and a chalky complexion, a little way up the aisle, that. I thought would do to tie to. 1 was not favorably impressed with an ancient maiden ladv who sat behind me with a small dog of the worst temper in the world; nor with the short thin man of a tobacco complexion and beard to match, who sat two seats in front, with a green patch over one eve. But right in the seat in front was the most charming little woman it had been my lot to see in the course of ten years' travel. She was of middling height, and her age might have been 5-and-20; but, us for describing bless me: you couldn't expect mo to do that. Words are cold things when it comes to that kind of a job. Just imagine to your self as much perfection as ever gets into a woman, and add to it an air of sad ness a trace of melancholy that would have leen sadness iu another, but it was an ndded charm to her presence and von have her portrait. I was a suscept ible young sprig of S-and-HO or thcre alnuits in those days, and 1 was still privileged to admire her iu a resptvtful way without anybody to gainsay it. I soon picked up an acquaintance with the fat old gentleman with the double chin. He said his name was Kosehury, and was soon poking me in the ribs with a funny story, and describing the re-spc.-tivo disadvantages of the eating houses .-.long the road. From him I worked my way forward to the young man and his mother by loaning them my novel, as they were not much on talking; and I captured the pop-eyed old fellow by sounding him on politics and finding that we voted the same ticket. lint all the time I kept my eye on the charming woman in the seat in front of niiu ", waiting for the first chance to lighten the troubles of traveling for her by paying her some little attention. 1 was strongly impressed in her favor by one thing that 1 observed soon after we started. She was ready with her ticket when the conductor called for it! At first blush this may not seem such a remarkable circumstances that it re quires an exclamation point, but the more you reflect on it the more wonder ful it seems. The chance I was waiting for came at last, when she wanted her window raised. My "Permit me, madam," won the day, for she graciously preferred my services to those of my tobacco-faced rival. This particular car window was the worst of its kind, so far as my experi ence goes. I leaned over the back of the seat and held the catch with one band while 1 gave a tcrriblo heave at the window with the other; then I moved a little toward the aisle for a bet ter purchase, and she offered to hold the catch, and 1 tugged and strained at it with both hands, and grew very red in the face, whilo her cheeks turned the color of a blush rose, and she begged me to let the window be; but I got it up at last. In the few minutes that I was tugging and struggling with the window 1 had a touch of what the youngsters call "love at first sight," though, of course, I was too far along in years for that. Well, well! It seems but yesterday as I write, though flve-and-twenty years have slipped away since I lifted that car-window. My hair has turned gray, and is getting on fast toward whilo; but, bless yon! I could lift another one with the tiest of 'cm though I never venture such an assertion to my wife. The thanks I got for that little job were enough to make me too vain to speak to common mortals for awhile, so 1 settled down quietly for a few minutes to recover. 1 thought I had made a good beginning for a traveling ncoiiuint nnce with the seat in front, so when 1 got my breath well settled I went buck ugain to the fat old gentlemnn willi the double chin. "Fine trick, that," he said, with a nod toward our fair fellow-traveler, giving me a dig in the ribs as he p;Hike. "1 couldn't have (lone it better myself. Oh, you sly dog!'' He gave me another dig with liis fat forefinger, and 1 was much flattered by his compliments and jokes; but, of course, pretended nut to be. The pop-eyed old fellow came down the aisle as I was sitting with my double chinner. "Say," said he in a stage whisper, leaning over us confidentially, "tho winders of tho purty wimmen are always hard to raise, ain't they?" And the pop-eyed old fellow and the fat gen tleman made themselves merry at my expense, while tho man with the green pairh eye glowered at me fiee'isioiially. Afler I bad had enough of their chaf fing, I went back to my sent. I was just in lime, as it proved, for my fair fellow-traveler being a woman was not satisfied to have'tho window up or down, but must have it half-way. Of course I gallantly fame to the rescue, just ahead of my tobaceo-faced rival again, and made a shift with the help of a card frcm my case to secure the win dow to where it was wanted. I r ccived my lady's thanks with just cs much pleasure lis though the old ger. tiemnn wasn't chuckling ut ire, and im proved my opportunity so well that I fell naturally into conversation with her. I found, by some cunningly devise 1 ques tions, that her name was Mrs. Wyn, and she was on her way home from a noted health resort for invalids. I had the good sense not to press my advantage too far, and retired from the conversation before she got tired of it which is a great point in matters of that kind. I drew out in good time, and felt much flattered shortly after when I saw her look on my card that was propping np the window for my name. When the train had dragged it way on to noon and tho railroad eating house, where they took our money and gave us mighty short commons to cat, I was more than happy to help Mrs. Wyn to the best the eating-house gave, which was nothing to boost of except tho price. 1 won't wearv you with an account of how I impioved mv opportunities, but you may be sure 1 did mv lot, and soon felt as. though wo had Wn HCiiiaiiited for months instead of hours. 1 got as many thanks for my little attentions as any one could well want, and felt as im portant as a drum-major on parade as 1 escorted Mrs. Wyn back to her seat. And when sho said, "Thank you, Mr. Suthcrlin," and smiled with her sad and lady-like smile as I left her, 1 was mightily flit tered, for sho had got my name oil' the card. Old Kosebury, my stout double-chin-ner, had settled hiuiselt for a nap when tho train started; tint after awhile he bestirred himself to gi t up a little game of cards to while away the time. I introduced old Kosebury to Mrs. Wyn, which ho had been itching for, and he bowed exceedingly well, consider ing that the train was rounding the curve at a good rate just then, and he was never built for the business. Ho asked her in his polite way to join us in a four-handed game of euchre, but she thanked him and haughtily declined. "Railroad restaurants come next to car winders fer get tin' a good holt on a new acquaintance, don't they?" said Davis, the pop-eyed old fellow, "giving a wink to Kosebury. "They'll do,"' returned the double chinner, with a chuckle; "they'll do. But they don't have all the modern ad vantage's. You don't get the chance to lean over so far." The twenty minutes for supper was liko the twenty minutes for dinner, ex cept that old Kosebury and the pop-eyed Iavis put their heads together to cut me out with the lady. Kosebury was to take Mrs. Wyn to supper, on the strength of ' my introduction, and Davis was going to help him for the laugh he would have on me. They would have come oil with flying colors, too, if I had not "nipped him in the bud," by asking her for the pleasure of her company, etc., before Davis took me down to the other end of the car to get up a good joko on Kose bury and bribe tho night-porter to carry it out. 1 kept one eye pointed down tho aisle all the time Davis was unfolding his scheme, and when I saw Kosebury put on his licst dancing-master airs anil bow like a Frenchman as the train began to slow up, 1 was chuckling inwardly iu high humor. Of course, it was love's lalwr lost with him, and ho drew down the corners of his mouth and whispered, "You'll do," as I passed him in the aisle. Lite next afternoon tho train drew into tho big station tit New York. I had learned that Mrs. Wyn was go ing on to Boston, and I am proud to say that 1 had her card ami address, with an invitation to call, in my pocket al ready. So 1 was ready to do her a last service by siving herself and her baggage transferred to tho Boston train, which was to start somo time that evening. As our train drew into the station, therefore, with all tho yelling of hackmen, and train-porters, and baggage-smashers until you would think it was a popular riot, if nothing worse, unless you had been there before I asked Mrs. Wyu for her checks. She blushed, and smiled a curious, hesitating, embarrassed smile. "Oh, thank you, Mr. Suthcrlin," she said irresolutely. "It is asking too much of you." I saw no reason for blushing over such a simple request as I had made, or for looking embarrassed about it; but I protested that it would be a pleasure iu ltead of a trouble to servo her in any way. At this sho flushed up, and seemed more embarrassed than ever; and old Rosebury winked hard at, mo as he ,came across tho aisle to say good-hy, and gave me a parting poke in t no ribs on the sly. At last, as the car was nearly emptied, Mrs. Wyn gave a despairing glance around, and handed me two cheeks, nnd we left tho car which I shall always remember with as much affection ns a man can have for a railroad company. When I had deposited Mrs. Wyn in tho "ladies sitting-room," as the sign over the door called it, I hurried for ward to the baggage-car and presented the checks. "One minute, sir," said tho baggage master, which was, to say tho least, a prevarication on his part, for it took nearer fifteen. At last they came, and first was a Saratoga trunk, which was to be expected. But the next ono was a stunner for me. I thought I should sink down through the station platform. Out came a long pine Isix a coffin-case containing the mortal remains of the late Mr. Wyn. Bless me! I felt weak for a minute; though I had no occasion to, but I could see the reason of all tho stammering and confusion and hesitation over giving me tho checks. It didn't take mo long to put two and two together. I could see in a minuto that tho late Mr. Wyn had gone' to the springs for his health and died there, and I had had the privilege of protecting his widow on her way home. I didn't hesitate or let my surprise stop me more than a minute at most. 1 was in for it now, so I stood to my col ors like a little man; and we had the trunk and the colli n case loaded on to the transfer truck and checked again on the Boston platform in no time. And I can assure you for a fact that I had not thcsliiihli si hard feeling toward the late Mr. Wyn. Now, do you want to know the re.-,t? No, no, sir, or madam. There are some things that a man likes to keep to him self, and it is best not to say too much lest my wife should get hold of this pa per. But 1 will whisper to you in con fidence, mind you that, in spite of a few wrinkles and a little more stoutness than was once to my taste, sho is just as charming as when I lifted the car-window for her more than five-and-tweiity years ago.
