ft TRAMP'S
ROMANCE.
"Hello, Snyder!"
The alert young fellow, hurrying
fckrough Union Square, turned to
look over his shoulder. There was
o one in sight whom lie knew.
"Odd," ho ejaculated, and passed

"Didn't know me, eh?"
"Your own mother wouldn't."
"Good enough ; that's exactly as
I like it."
"What's up?"
"This," pointing to his costume
in general. "The 'clues' has de
tailed me to write up the tramp
question from the unwritten side.
Guess I'll pass muster?"
"I should presume so ; but I'm
willing you should have that lot."
Twenty-four hours later, Tom Al
lard, the popular and fastidious
jfcjwspaper reporter, now an ama
teur tramp, had reached the out
skirts of a little village lying
among the Hudson Highlands.
He was tired, and about sick of
wearing his disguise, but he had
already stored away in his ragged
pockets considerable data, and
Aoped, ere the week of his exile
Was over, to have "material" for
some most readable articles.
Coming upon an inviting-looking
"bam, well stocked with fresh hay,
he "turned in" for the night, and
made himself comfortable upon a
laft over a roomy stable, where a
number of cows were ruminating.
"Rebecca, thee is late with thy
milking; the breakfast is ready."
"Don't thee keep it longer,
mother dear. Thee and father sit
down without me."
Such a sweet little milkmaid she
was ! none ever praised in song or
story could be fresher, brighter,
lovelier. - A mass of wavy brown
hair was coiled at the back of her
shapely head, in the demure fash
ion of her society ; but the hazel
yes, the piquant nose, and the
beautiful mouth told of a nature
prone to merriment, yet full of ten
derness as well.
She was dressed in the Friendly
garb of gray, with kerchief ami
apron of snowy whiteness, and
like an embodyment of the morn
ing's early purity, she passed over
the dewy path to the great barn
where she superintended and as
sisted in the milking.
Primrose farm was a model one,
it3 rich acres and broad pastures
Were brought to the highest er
fection, and its herd of Holstien
Friesians the finest in the county.
"Primrose butter" brought fabu
lous prices, and it needed but one
look at the perfect dairy to explain
Why. Exquisite neatness prevailed
in every nook and cranny of this
prosperous homestead ; it gave one
a sense of increased personal dig
nity even to visit the place; and
truly farmer Isaac and hi- wife ex
emplified that "cleanliness is a'uu
to godliness".
Mr. and Mrs. Loder were staunch
friends, and, unlike their n-i!-bors,
had brought up their child in
strict observance of their faith ; but
she was the only maiden in the
community that wore the "plain
dress".
Rebecca was so late that the
other milkers had finished an 1
gone ere she began her task, an 1
left alone, she broke, unconscious y
into ong a worldliness her fath r
would have reproved.
Suddenly, there was a no'.-v
overhead, as of someone moving in
the loft, and surprised, the j;irl
looked up. In an instant rln
sprang to her feet in terror as tin'

'Ve!l. if he eniered this plaee
to do evil, the Lord hath punished
him. Take hold, lads, and bear
him into the house."
Rebecca was there before them,
and had prepared her mother, who
bade her, "Open the windows in
the east room, child, while I get
wine and bandages."
t'-o they bore him in, and laid
him on the snowy bed, and the
good souls, being of that rare class
who live their redgion, cared for
as if he b id been their own.
"D es thee want anything more,
doctor?"
These were the words Tom Al
lard heard as he came back to con
sciousness and pain.
"You have had a fail, friend,
and broken your arm. I am going
to set it."
' "All right."
Nothing more was said on either
Bide, but ere the work was done,
the injured man had relapsed into
his stujMjr.
"The internal injuries are worse
than the arm. He is like to die."
JJut he did n-A, though for days
j he lay unconscious of what went
! on about him.
i At. th verv first chance. Mother
! Ilann:ih insisted unon having her
charge made "clean and comfort

on gently sponging his face, to see
the change that operation wrought.
Dennis, holding the bowl of wa
ter, became so convulsed with
laughter that he spilled its con
tents, and was sharply repri
manded. "Can't help it, missus. Tears

false beard had leen removed from
her victim's flesh.
Satisfied at length that he . was
clean, and equally satisfied that he
was burglar and murderer as well,
Mrs. Loder took up, with fear and
trembling, the duties of head nurse.
"Thee must cure him first," said
her husband, "then thee may try
to save him,"
"Is thee awake?"
The patient's dark eyes
about the cheerful room,
roamed
and fi-
nally rested on the dainty figure,
in a sober silken gown, approach
ing him.
"Where am I?"
"In Isaac Loder'a house, at
Woo Ihurv. Thee lias been verv
ill."
"How came I here?"
He tried to rise, but an arm in
splints claimed his attention, arid
brought his memory back.
"Was it in his barn I slept?"
"It was, but I must not let thee
talk any more."
She moved away from him, and
sat down quietly by the open win
dow, turning her head in profile.
The sick man lay and watched
her with that half awakened sense
which follows a long unconscious
ness. The red light of the sinking
sun fell over and illumined her, till
she seemed a something too pure
and spiritual for materal life a
vision still remaining from his fe
vered dreams.
A man entered the apartment
and seated himself in the great
rocker near the bed. Allard knew,
instinctively, that it was his hu
mane host. He spoke, and the
other came instantly to him, an
honest gratification in his kindly
face.
"I am heartily glad to hear thy
voice sound so strong. Thee has
had a long illness."
"What was the matter with my
head? a broken arm should not
a fleet that."
"Thee struck a beam in thy fall,
and has had brain trouble. Thee
will be all right now, with pru
dence." "And all this time I have been a
burden on your household?"
"It is never a burden to care for
the slithering."
Then, in spit; of all contrary ad
vice, Tom insisted ujon telling his
story, to which the (Quaker listened
with grave courtesy, yet, painfully
evident unbelief.
The next day Allard pleaded so
earnestly that his kind nurse al
lowed him to be dressed and lie
upon the lounge.
There, Rebecca served him with
his dinner, and he rejoiced to see
that the lace which seemed so
coldly spiritual in the waning sun
set was alive with healthful human
color in the clearer light of noon.
'('an 1 still further tax your ex
ceeding kindness, dear Miss Loder?
Will you write a letter for me?
lie pointed significantly to his
right arm.
"Certainly, with pleasure."
So, ;tt. his dictation, the girl
wrote the "chief", who had been
;ill tii time in utter ignorance as
to the whereabouts of his subordi
nate, and added a word or two for
John Snvdcr.

On the eve of his departure irom
the borne of his benefactors, he
sought farmer Isaac in his private
room, and when he tried in vain to
express his gratitude a- he would
have done, he added :
nt one tiling yet remains:

Astounded by this request, old
Issae put on his glasses the better
to survey this modest young man.
Here was audacity! " Here was
nineteenth-century progress ! Then
he rose up in his wrath.
"Young ingrate! Is this thy
way of returning evil for good? In
a sidgle breath thee thanks me,
and tries to rob me !"
"To love is not to rob."
"And where are thy credentials?
Dressed in filthy rags thee prowls
into my building with what in

hand of the Lord prevents thee
from thy sin. I.o?s thee think I
hold my little lass so light of worth
as to toss her to the like of thee?"
"No, no. Indeed, sir, 1 can see
you cannot help your judgment of
me. Appearances are all against
me. Lut is not the word of my
friends something to prove I am

men ne strode out oi me room,
and Tom followed, sore at his de
feat, and came into the moonlight
to find Rebecca pacing placidly up
and down the long qeranda.
"What has so disturbed thee ?"
she querried, in her sympathetic
way.
Then out burst a torrent of pas
sion that startled and thrilled the

j out to her, she found an answering
I something in herself. It was the
j "old, old story," too sweet to know
. or yield to any law save of its own
j being ; and when demure little
Rebecca laid down her head that
ntght, it was of a lover's kiss she
dreamed, and not her father's
wrath.
John Snyder had come out to
j Primrose Farm for the night, and
I to bear his "chum" company back
i to town and waiting friends. To
j him, in the privacy of their upper
room, Tom divulged his happy se
cret. So jubilant was he in his
darling's love, that her father's op
position counted as naught.
i "He'll come round he'll have
j to. And if he don't, very soon my
j little girl will be of age."
"5ah! Runaways old joke
won't sell. But you would never
steal a woman for a wife?"
"Confound it! I'm going to
mrrry Rebecca Loder the very first
day she'll have me. I'll try fair
means first, but "
"Oh, shut up, and go to bed. If
I ever fall in love, I won't give my
friends more than a column of
rhapsodies at a time."
For about five minutes Tom
gazed at the indifferent one in pity,
then did as advised ; and alas !
for sentiment ! in another five was
snoring.
Toward morning Snyder roused
him.
"Get up, quick, don't make a
noise."
"What's the row? Punching a
IjIIow "
"Hush! There is something
wrong in the house."
"Its name is Snyder."
"Idiot ! Burglars, I fear."
There came a sound from the
outer hall of some one moving
stealthily across the floor.
"It mav be some of the family."
"No hark!"
Tom waited for no more, but got
into his clothes in a jilfy, and
through the door.
There was a hurried scuffle, a
noise as of an earthquake falling
down stairs, a pistol shot and si
lence. Farmer Isaac opened his
bedroom door upon a mixed lot of
burglars, guests and plate, into
which he threw himself with ardor
pummeling right and left, and lus
tily shouting for help. The whole
household was on the sjot, the men
servants almost immediately who
obeyed witli a with a will their
master's orders to tie up the whole
gang.
Terrified Mrs Loder, clad in an
unaccustomed "Mother Hubbard"
gown of white, rushed to the front.
"Father, father, stop! Thee is
holding thy guests ; these two be
the ruffians."
Tom gave her a grateful smile
and Snyder hastened to explain.
"We heard these men in the hall
and rushed out for them. In the
struggle we all fell down the stairs."
"Hold your ungodly tongue, and
add no more lies ! Jerry, bind his
hand and feet as well ag the others
and thee, ! tenuis, ride hard for the
constable."

"Never! Oh. father! is thee

And heedless of all but his hurl
who was so late a stranger to her,
she bent and kissed him there be

her gently away, and with a pity

"her patient" hack to the east
room.
"Thee shall spend no more labor
on that scoundrel, wife."
"Hold thy unchristian tongue,
man! Is thee in thy dotage, that

1 Of course the untaught country
girl came out equal to the occasion.
It was her "dispatch" summoned
the needed friends and defenders
to the aid of the imprisoned news
paper man, whom they found as
i imperturbable as ever.
Hold on. boys, I'll come out in
half an hour. I'm just finishing
up a little bit on 'Inside a country
lock-up'. Time and material.
'Busy Bee', etc. Guess that'll
sell."
Matters were very soon set right,
and the two real housebreakers dis
posed in a safer ;'place, where they
could repent at leisure.
Poor old Isaac ! there followed
some bad hours for him. Troud as
a prince, and about as stubborn, it
was hard work for him to own him
self beaten on his own premises ;
but he was just, as well as proud,
and when once he had conquored
himself, he watched the opportun
ity when his too sharp-sighted wife
was out, and walked valiantly into
that fateful "east room".
"Thomas, my lad, I am con
vinced that I have wronged thee.
I believe thee to be honest, accord
ing to thy lights, and I ask thy
pardon!"
All honor to the brave old man ;
he never plowed a stiffer furrow,
and when he reached the end
well, his brow was "wet with
sweat." And it hurt Tom even
more to have this grand christian
stoop to him like this, and in his
heart of hearts he vowed that never
son should be so true as he.
Tears that were no disgrace to
his manhood stood in his eyes as
he clasped the kind hand so gener
ously extended.
"1 will make and keep my life
worthy of all your goodness to me
father, and I will wait for Rebecca
till you give her to me."
Isaac Louer dm nothing by
halves.
"Thee and the lass must settle
that ; 'tis naught of my affair."
Probably they did, and satisfac
torily, for cards are out for the
wedding, and the "chief" is going
up to it with Snyder, having first
extracted from that enterprising
youth a promise not to use the
event as "material".
EDISON'S MEW CLOCK.
Possibilities of the Speak ing Time
piece. New York Tress.
Thomas Edison, the phenomenal
inventor, has reached a critical
stage in his career, and it would be
a strange sarcasm of late if his
latest inveDtion should make him
positively abhorrent tw ti.e grow-
: ing gtneration. Over in his labor
atory at Liewelljn Park is this in
vention. It has been tried and
found perfect, and it is a phono
graphic clock which, instead sf
chiming the Lours, calls them out
at every quarter in a voice full of
clearness. It may be fitted with
any set to suit the purposes for
which it may be intended. To a
reporter it was exhibited recently.
The inventor was as cheery nud
playful as he always is. "The
clock," said he, "is an improve
ment, and if it were only on the
market now it might save you re
porters a good deal t worriuient.
For instance, say you are at r. poli
tical meeting with a dr.zen speak
ers carded. They are to have each
a half hour. You know what a
fiction that is. But bow, if jou
had a clock like this, see how it
would work," and here Mr. Edisen
p aced a set within it. He pointed
the hand to the quarter ot an hur
aDd a voice came ringing out:
"This speaker is half through."
At the half hour the clack blurted
out: "The audience will please
not encore. The gentleman now
gives way to another.1'
"The only fear I have," con
tinued Mr. Edison, "is that the
joung unmarried folks may not
rlish it. You are uetrried? No';
Well, I don't give this out ts a
bribe, but when you get entangled
in the preliminaries come to me
and I will give you odc that you
rn:iy lestut to the lamily into
which yi u aspire to be admitted.
It will oe u fibber. I'm u little in
di.ubt ubout the popularity ot tlio
paihir clcck with the younger
ptople."
Mr. Edison has gcad rcasnn to
feat. A more tantalizing ornament
to a pair of ardent lovers than u
matrimonial parlor phonographic
clock cannot be imagined, Fancy,
tor instance, aStuulay evening in a
c j. y parlor with two he ats bei;t
ini; iu one started by the voice from
the mantel : "Good night, a food
good night. In another hour it
will be midnight." Then dolefully
at a quarter past and each succeed
ing quarter comes but its hoarse
ci wakings, until 11:53 o'c'.eck
when it blurts out:
"In dye minutes more it wiil be
to morrow," and every ten minutes
subsequently the air is tilled with
its maudliuKS, such as "Ah! how
still the hour,"' "Mabel, I am
watchin:; thee, ha. ha!" "Methinks
I hear the spirit of thy mamma
unon the stairs." "Please don't
heed me, it is my misfortune that I
must wain vou that the hour is
half-past 12." "Did I hear you
ask me to get that hat?" "Will
you kindly remember me in your
prayers?"' "Lookout! I hear a
footstep. Ha, ba! I was only
too! in thee!" "I'll soen have to
call father to g to his office."
And so the clock jabbers n most
exasperatingly. Of course, the
words are set to suit the circum
stances, If the wooer be a favored
person, of course the language will
bo much different, the tone of the
clock will be sweet and simpering
and the words coy and captivating.
