Jim's Mother
By A. M. Daviet 0, '
Oaraak 1904, W A. M. Dim Ommm
Mlaa Turnbuil, her anna full of bloo
oiulDf Illact, entered the dusty day
coach, and walked .alowly .down tht
aisle. The car was crowded. Paaslng
the seats where men sprawled orer
the hot looking red plush, she moved
forward to halt by, tho side of an old
woman, a gentle faced little creature
neatly dressed in a threadbare black
barege.
"May I sit herer asked Miss Turn-
ouu. ice oia woman, giancinj up,
moved quickly toward the window.
"Pray do," she urjred heartily.- Ai
Mies Turnbuil settled down, her com
panion, attracted by the purple flow
ers, put out a wrinkled hand and strok
ed the fragrant buds.
"They remind me of early days when
I lived in the country," she rolnnteer
ed, with a shy smile. "Of course my
son Jim gives me a nice house in the
city now," with a touch of pride, "but
I still love the country."
Miss Turnbuil smiled, and insensibly
the two drifted into conversation. Yet
intelligently as her tongue answered,
the girl's mind was absorbed in an
undercurrent of its own. She was go
ing home, back to New York; back to
him. What good was a vacation? It
would be three weeks tomorrow since
she had gone away. Ilad he missed
her? Dear Jim! It seemed almost
absurd to remember that they bad
known each other leas than a year!
One single dark thread mingled with
the happy . fabric woven by her
thoughts. That was Jim's attitude re
garding his mother. She would marry
no man whose family did not welcome
her, mused the girl, with spirited inde
pendence. And Jim knew that The
old woman's somewhat querulous voice
brought her back with a start
"lea, my boy Jim Urea In New York.
And he's got engaged down there. I'm
going down now to see bis girl. 'Pears
like as if no one was good enough for
Jim. And. besides, this glri"- Tben
she paused, evidently recollecting that
her listener was a stranger.
Miss Turnbuil became conscious of a
vague suspicion, a strange doubt Could
It be possible? "We must wait until
you meet my mother. I am sure thinjrs
will come right then, Jim had said.
Somehow she toad always imagined
that Jim's mother disapproved of her.
'OH, VT DEAR, lfT DEAR," RHB CTTKBZD,
"FOEOIVB Mil
and she had resented the fact She
knew nothing of Jim's family save
that he came from somewhere up
state. And he had written that be
was expecting bis mother for a visit
The girl's eyes widened. Could it be
credible that this woman, ignorant un
lettered, might be Jim'a mother? For
the moment a quick distaste made her
draw back, then a look at the kindly,
faded face with the steadfaat blue
eyes awakened a nobler feeling. After
all, what were mere externals worth?
Did not beauty of soul count for more
than beauty of diction? And Jim loved
her! The girl's eyes showed a new
sympathy as she turned to her com
panion.
"Tell me" she began. But the sen
tence was never finished. There was a
crash, a jar, a sickening suspense, as
the car wavered. Another moment and
the heavy wood crumpled into card
board. Flung to one side by the force
of the Impact. Emily Turnbuil strug
gled to ber knees. The car roof above
her was split open. She was not badly
enough hurt to prevent her crawling
through that aperture to safety. All
around her rose cries and groans. The
girl shuddered. Her lilacs, fallen be
side her, filled the air with their
crufthed sweetness, and a . sudden
thought made her start Jim's mother!
The old woman lay pinioned under a
seat senseless from a cut on her fore
head. ' Emily hesitated. Could she
leave her? Yet what good could she
achieve by staying? And it meant
death for both! The piteous shrieks
for help were increasing. She could
hear a crackle of burning wood The
car was on lire. With a tremendous ef
fort Emily attempted to move the
heavy seat Useless. Yet she wrestled
with the cruel iron, striving in desper
ation to lift it even an Inch. The noise
of the flames came nearer. The beat

last despairing effortf the girt sen! her
voice ringing out in a wild appeal for
aid and than, exoauated, sank Inseual-
lie beside the limp figure that she
ought to save, .
On opening her eyes Emily Turnbuil
lased about her iu bewilderment
Wat she dead? The room was quit
unfamiliar. Bare white walls met hef
wondering eyes. A woman seated by
the bed whereon she lay rose and mill
ed down on her.
"Do not be frightened," said the wo
man in a low, reassuring voice. "You
are at the Warren House, where they
brought yon after the accident A few
days' rest will make you quite strong
again. Some men found you Just at
the last moment They heard your
call We people In the rear cars were
not Injured." she continued, "and,
knowing a little about nursing, I offer
ed my services." She did not think It
necessary to add thatfthe attractlou of
the unconscious girl's face had some
what prompted her offer. "Now try to
sleep." But Emily had turned white.
"Jlm'a mother the woman with
me!" she gasped.
"Quite safe also. You were found
clinging to her dress. Yon knew ber
then? She is a relative?" seeing that
the girl wished to talk.
"I only met her today,", responded
Emily. "But she Is Jim's mother. Oh,
I must telegraph to him!" anxiously.
"He will be so worried, for he knew
that I was to take that train."
iue woman reu-nea pencil and pa
per and wrote the imnsnse. Then she
let her eyes rest thoughtfully npou the
girl.
"So you are Emily Turnbuil. the ac
tress?" she asked. Miss Turnbuil nod
ded.
"And and you are sure as to the
identity of that woman V pursued her
Interlocutor. Her manner conveyed
more than her words, and Emily looked
troubled.
"Why, she said that her son's name
was Jim and that she was going to
New York to see bis sweetheart, and
and I knew that Jim's mother lived
near Albany," she stammered confus-
edly. "I-I thought so."
"And you risked your life to save her
on that chance?" cried the other lin
petuously, "for the men said that yon
could have easily escaped." Miss Turn
bull lifted her clear, gray eyes.
"I thought that she was Jim's moth
er," came the simple response. With
smothered exclunintlou, half laugh,
half sob, the woman dropped pad and
pencil and sank to her knees by Emi
ly'saide. . . I
"Ob, my dear, my dear" she uttered.
"Forgive me. How hateful, how nar
row minded, I have been! I am your
Jims mother. I was bound for New
York on a similar errand. It was
blow, I confess, when he wrote that
he wished to marry an actress. But be
was quite right when he said that I
had only to see you to Understand.
Will you marry Jim, dear? I know he
loves you." Her flushed, eager face
was very close to Emily's, and for an
swer the girl put up her Hps and
kissed the delicate cheek.
"Oh," breathed Emily, "what a beau
tiful world it is! Don't you don't you
think that perhnps we might straight
en things out for that other Jim's
girir she added presently. "I want
her to be happy too."
And Jim's mother smiled.
Sbe Spent It.
"Before you go downtown, Cyrus,"
said bis wife, "you must not forget to
leave me 00 cents. I've got to buy
some things this nionilng."
"This abominating extravagance of
yours, Belinda," replied Mr. Kneer,
opening his pocketltook with visible re
luctance, "Is what ke'ps us poor.
Where, I would like to know," be con
tinued, becoming excited, "is the 60
cents I gave you Iaxt week? What
have you done with It? Fifty cents
In clean, cold cash, madam, gone In
less than six days and gone for noth
ing! What have you got to show for
It? Do you think I'm made of money V
demanded Mr. Kneer, taking out a coin
and slapping it down on the table.
"Do you"r
"Don't say anything more, Cyrusl"
exclaimed Mrs. Kneer, with tears in
ber eyes and putting ber band hur
riedly over the money. "I'll not spend
any more of it than I am actually oblig
ed to spend, and I thank you ever so
much!"
With a mollified grunt Cyrus put bis
purse back in bis pocket, took bis hat
and went downtown, and in less than
half an hour Mrs. Kneer, trembling
with eagerness, was on the way to the
great dry goods stores.
For Mr. Cyrus Kneer, by the most
calamitous and unaccountable blunder
of his whole life, had given ber a
twenty dollar goldpiece instead of 50
cents.
lira of Good Manner.
As the oldest of the family Anna felt
keenly the necessity of keeping a close
watch upon the manner of ber two
younger sisters lest disgrace be attach
ed to the good name of the family. Her
Intentions, at all events, were beyond
cavil, although as much could not al
ways be said for her manner of car
rying them out
- Certainly the provocation was great
when Anna's younger sister deliberate
ly put an entire hard boiled egg in ber
mouth in the crowded steam car on the
way home from school. Only a few
persons saw the dreadful deed, yet An
na straightway rose, crossed the aisle
and administered to the offender a box
on the ear which resounded from one
end of the car to the other. Thereupon
she resumed her seat in the proud con
sciousness of a duty well performed.
"Why, Anna, how could you do such
a thing, and publicly, too?" said ber
rflOlher, later after hearing f. Varful
roUarofthe Incident from Hie fips of
Ber youngest daughter.
"Nell, I just wanted to show the
people," was the reply, "that even
