METHOUGHT THE ROSE WAS FA I
JIcthotiRht tho rcvso was fairest when full blown,
1 breathed its festal fragrance, and was glad:
By dawn tho tud Its petals far had strewn;
I found an uuerowned chalice lono and sad.
Methoiiftht that Youth could no'cr escced lu
prime;
1 joyed to lire and with all llfo was fain;
But calkins caro outran e'en Her ting time
And In the race I saw the stripling slain.
Methonght that Beauty was a Joy for aye;
1 worshiped at her shrine in homage leal;
Anon an envious Nemesis swept by
And on mine idol M.'iit her blighting seal.
McthouRht that Lovo by bards had been inallgn'd;
1 sanctuary gave him in my heart;
Eft-soous the thankless boy a spot did find
Wherein to lodge his most envenomed dart.
Jlethoughtthat Life more precious wasthan gold;
1 prized each pregnant hour with sordid greed;
But when both Ia)o aud Youth escaped my hold,
They left me, pluudered miser, poor indeed.
Methought that Death's oblivion ended all;
1 recked no future peace, no future pain,
Till one long cherished, gone beyond recall,
At iiartiug whispered, "Friend, ne meet again I"

A SOLITARY PASSENGER.
Tho 10:00 train from White Penk was
lato that snowy February night. It nqver
was what ono would call n painfully
prompt train, but to-night it was full fifty
minutes behind its usual time, and tho
telegraph operator had nearly fallen
asleep behind tho pano of ground glass
over which tho word "tickets" was in
scribed in a half circle, and toward which
a most inartisttcally foreshortened hand
was depicted us extending ngilt finger for
the enlightenment of tho general public.
Not that tho Hig Pino telegraph ollico
was ordinarily open at so Into an hour as
this. Seven o'clock was tho usual period
of closing. Nor had Eunice Barlow any
official right to tho tall wooden stool bo
hind the semicircular gilt legend referring
to "Tickets." In a manner sho had had
greatness thrust upon her. Old Mr.
Pettyclovo. who represented tho majesty
of tho railway company in this particular
spot, had gone homo in tho curly dusk
with a raging facial neuralgia, and in
common humanity Eunico could not have
refused temporarily to assume his position
with its duties.
"It will only bo another hour of work,"
she told herself, cheerfully, as sho put an
additional log of frost fringed wood into
tho little air tight stove. "When tho
10:50 has passed I can shut up tho placo
and go home. There are only two night
freights, and tho conductors on both of
them have keys to tho freight house."
Hut in tho rourso of theso sanguine
meditations Eunice had neglected to tako
iuto account the driving snow storm and
tho consequent "block" along tho rails;
and sho was beginning to glanco rather
anxiously at tho unmeaning dial of tho
wooden clock on tho pino shelf above her
head, for sho would have to walk nearly
half a mile through tho lonely wooded
road ere sho could reach her homo, after
tho stm ion was shut for tho night, and
sho hud n plumb, timid matured littlo
mother sitting beside tho fire, who was
suro to imagine all sorts of possible and
impossible horrors if Eunice chanced to
bo a few minutes behind tho regulation
timo of arriviu; at tho doorstep.
"I wish," Miss Harlow mused, "that I
had thought to ask Mr. I'ettyclovo to
send his boy Zenas over to tell mother
that I was likely to bo detained a little.
But thcrol tho train can't bo long now."
Outsido the wind howled liko an infu
riated demon in tho worst possible of tem
pers The tops of tho pino trees kept up
ii constant moaning, liko tho waves of
some black-green sea. Within, tho clock
ticked lustily on, tho logs of wood crackled
and sputtered in tho stove, and Eunice
Barlow yawned over her paper covered
Ivanhoe, with u growing indiirerenco to
tho fato alike of tho fair haired Roweua
and Rebecca tho beautiful.
Suddenly tho silenco was broken by tho
tiniest sound, liko tho throbbing of "some
(small silver heart. Eunice jumped up.
instinctively obedient to tho call of her
autocrat, tlio telegraph.
"A message!" sho thought. "And at
this time of tho night. Well, wonders
liover will ceaso."
A message it was; to Peter Pcttyclove,
station agent at Big Pino station.
"Defalcation in Homo bank. Detain
passenger on train 21. Small, dark, wear
ing fur trimmed coat. Keep in custody
until further notice. II. V. CAitTun,
"Chief of Police at White Peak."
' Almost before sho had deciphered theso
words, Eunice Barlow telegraphed back
"All right;" and ouco more tho small sil
ver heart left oil its tumultuous throb
biugs. And not until then did tho tele
graph operator realize what u very pecu
liar position sho was in. All alono at Big
Pino station, and officially authorized, in
right of her substitution, to arrest a bank
defalcator on tho spotl
Even while sho pondered on this unex
pected state of things thero was a curious
thrill and tremble of tho floor beams under
her feet; a shrill steam whistlo rising
above tho sustained roar of tho tempest.
Tho 10:50. officially known as No. 21. was
swinging around tho curve.
In an instant Eunice Barlow was out in
tho deep snow of tho rudo board platform
with tho lighted lantern in her hand. Tho
conductor of the train was not at all sur
prised to see her thero. Ilo know that
Peter Pettyclovo was old and feeblo, and
u spirited young female telegraph operator
is rated at her full value in tho Big Pino
isoction. Sho tried to signal to him that
sho wanted to speak to him, but tho blind
ing btiow drove its shroud liko sheets be
tween them. He smiled and nodded to
her iu tho aggravating way that monhavo
when they uro particularly obtuse, shouted
some incomprehensible comment on the
weather, helped to loosen tho brakes, uud
was au eighth of a mile up tho track be
fore Eunice's lantern light fell on a Binglo
black figure, its hat pulled over its eyes,
Us form closely buttoned up In a fur
trimmed overcoat I
1 "Is this tho station?" said rt low, well
modulated volco, which gavo MIbs Barlow
tho idea that tho unhappy victim of justico
was a gentleman born and bred. "Whero
uro tho porters Upon my word" (looking
around after a bowildered fashion), "I'm
afraid they've forgotten to put off my
luggago. Isu't thero a firo bomowhero
hereabouts?"
Euulco Barlow looked solemnly at him
as sho opeued tho door into tho bright,
cheerfully lighted Httlo station. Yes, tho
telegraphed description had been conect.
Ho was small and dark, and, poor follow,
ho looked as if ho was half frozen todeath.
But now arose tho perplexing questiou,
how was she to "detain him"
"I can lock hlra In tho tlcko office," she
thought to hersolf. "Ho will bo eafo
enough until Mr. Pettyclovo comes lu tho
morning. But, poor fellowl I do feel
borry for him."
Tlio solitary passenger fell headlong Inte
tho trap laid for him by tho telegraph
operator. Ilo walked directly Into the
ticket olflco and sat dowu, with a weary
nigh, ou the UlU wooden stool which had
lately served Miss Barlow as a throno of
otliee
"Only about as old as our Victor woniu
havo been lind ho lived." thought Eunice
"Oh. I wonder what sinister inllueuco led
him Into this terrible mistake' 1 won
der You nro mistaken, sir," sho saiu.
aloud, in answer to his reiterated ques
tiotis "There are no porters hero There
is no hotel nearer than the Pino Barrens,
four miles away Tho agent is detained
at home by sickness, and l am tho tele
graph operator, on duty In his absence. "
Tho stranger uttered a long, low whls
tie. "1 think," said ho, "I must have
managed to alight at the jumplng-oll
place of all tho world. hat's to bo
done, I wonder?"
Ilo looked so cold, so youthful, so ut
tcrly desolate, that Etinico Barlow's heart
bled for him in his solitude anil peril.
"Even if ho has gono wrong." sho pon
dered, with nil a young girl's optimism,
"ho may do better if he can only get a
chanco. After all, I nm not tho station
agent. How can they expect me, a
woman, to usurp tho placo of tho officers
of tho law? 1 could detain him perfectly
well, but"
"Can you tell mo," pleaded tho solitary
passenger, "whero I can get a night's
lodging and something to eat? It is nix
hours since wo left tho supper station,
and I am just recovering from a siege of
malarial fovor. Surely thero must bo
snino ono around hero who could act us
my guido."
"Thero is no ono hero but me," said
Miss Barlow, locking tlio cash drawer and
preparing to extinguish tho ono rcf eetor
lamp that glowed abovo tho now arrival's
head. "But if you chooso to go homo
with mo I daro say my mother will givo
you somo supper and a bed. Our house
I is tho nearest to this placo. And to-mor
row" with a somewhat significant pause
"you can begin a now career."
"I'm awfully obliged to you," said the
gentleman, jumping up with alacrity
"But how many careers per week do theso
westerners count upon? I'vo no objec
tion, for my part, to tho old ono con
tinued." Miss Barlow's faco remained inexorably
grave. Sho considered it no part of her
duty to countenanco flippancy liko this.
Sho locked tho station, and hung tho key
on its hooked nail close within tlio lat
ticed casement outside, whero windsconld
not hurl it away nor storms disturb it,
before sho said, quietly: "This way, please.
Tho lantern will light you sufficiently if
you aro a littlo careful; otherwise you
will find the way rather steep and narrow
down the hill. You aro porhaps unaware
that a telegram describing your personal
appearance lias just como In from tho
Whito Peak olIiceY"
"A tolegrtiml By Jovo tho whole thing
is out, then I"
Ilo spoko quioklv; thero was genuine
disgust and dissatisfaction expressed in
every feature of his face.
"Yes," responded tho telegraph opera
tor, "tho whole thing is out. Your con
jecture is quite correct."
"Does I beg your pardon, but really
this is a matter of somo Importance tb
me does any one kuow it besides your
self?" "No."
"I may depend on you?" with implor
ing emphasis.
"Yes, you may depend on mo."
"Thanks, awfully I" declared tho stran
ger, with fervor. "You see, it makes it
very unpleasant to havo theso things
talked about."
"I should think it might" frigidly.
"And 1 had counted on remaining
strictly incognito."
"So l should imagine."'
A brief silenco ensued. Eunico was
wondering how her strange companion
could speak so coolly of "theso things."
"Was ho utterly dead to all bhame?" sho
thought. Tho strange companion, in tho
meantime, was secretly marveling at tho
ease and lightness with which this ex
traordinary girl stepped out through tho
snow drifts.
"A perfect" Amazon," ho said to him
self; "and a pretty ono, too. Why don't
sho keep talking? 1 liko tho timbre of
her voice, it's u regular contralto."
At length ho broko the silenco. "Can't
I carry that bag for you?" said ho.
"Do you know what is in this bag?"
sho ppunter questioned.
"Haven't the least idea," ho responded.
"Tho money taken in over tho ticket
desk today, and tlio keys of tho cash
drawers I am responsible for nil of it."
"Indeed? But couldn't I carry it, just
tho same? You havo enough to do to
manage tho lantern."
"Yes," assented Eunico, "you may
carry it, if you please; it will certainly
givo mo n better chanco with tho lantern.
You seo that I trust you."
"Much obliged, I'm sure. Havo wo
much farther to go?"
"No; you could seo tho light down In
the valley now if vour eyes were keen,
and if tho buow didn't drive so fast."
"It seems to me." observed tho young
man, after another interval of silence,
during which tho crunching of their feet
in tlio snow und tho persistent howling of
tho wind was all that broko tho spoil,
"that they put a great deal of responsi
bility on young women in this part of tho
world."
"A good deal of it is forced upon them,
and a good deal they nssumo themselves,"
haid Eunico Barlow, composedly. "I am
willing to admit that I have taken a heavy
responsibility on myself to-night."
"Eh?"
"And I think," sho added, turning her
calm, gray eyes upon him with a light as
steady as that of tho lantern, "that you
know what it is."
Tho stranger looked surprised. "I won
der," ho said to himself, "if I am all alono
upon this midnight road witli a mad
woman. It begins to look unpleasantly
liko it."
"Understand," added Miss Barlow,
"that If I tako you homo to-night ami
shelter you, I must have your prom
ises" "The douco yon must!" cried tho young
man, waxing more und more uneasy.
"Oh, 1 say, now, this Isn't falrl"
"Nover to repeat tho offense!"
' I won't If I know myself."
"To turn over u now leaf from this time
forward," sho pursued, vigorously.
"Tho now career question ugalnl I'm
blessod if I know what all this means,"
gasped tho solitary passenger, breathing
hard, as ho breasted all ut unco tho flying
shrouds of snow, tho keen tooth of tho
west wind, and tho perplexing problem
put forth by tho fair guldo. For lair sho
was; ho could seo us much as that for
himself.
"Equivocation Is entirely useless," said
Eunico, Boverely, "You know perfectly
well what I mean. I havo given you a
chanco for freedom; for what is still bet
ter, fame and character. Seo to it that
this chance does not pass unimproved."
"Modi" muttered tlio stranger to him
self; "very modi Entirely a hopeless
case, I should say. I wonder If thero
really was a telegram, or if that is merely
a part of h:r bruin disorder? 1 wonder If
Til better keep ou with her, nobody knows

'Thero Is no i 'tlgntlng your ofTenso,"
gravely procceilc Niiss Harlow "Mind,

as 1 said before. I nm willing to givo you
one more chance
"Very kind of you. I'm suro." hopo
lesy murmured tho young man. "But
would it bo considered Intrusive if 1 were
to ask what tho offense isY"
"You have basely absconded with your
employer's money. " said Eunice, with the
freezing sternness of idealized justico; "In
other words, you are a bank defalcator "
"No, I'm not," stoutly asserted tho
stranger. "1 beg pardon for contradict
ing you, but that's all a mistake from bo
ginning to end. I'll stand a great deal,
but 1 won't stand such mimes as that."
"This is scarcely a fair return for my
treatment of you," said Eunice, with somo
contempt. "Deceit added to crime"
i "Oh, como. now, won't you givo a fel
low a chance?" uttered her companion.
"As tho school books say, 'Strike, but
hear.' I've nobody's money but my own.
and not too much of that 1 don't know
anything about your banks nor their

( lest cllmnte going My namo is Ernest
I Tinsallon. and I was to have been met at
the station by Col Copley, of tho Four
lluiulreutli cavalry.
Eunico Barlow gavo a littlo shriek of
amazement "Sir Ernest Tinsallonl" sho
cried. "Tho Englishman who was com
ing out hero to hunt butTalo, and follow
up tho lino of tlio Pine river? But you
havo alighted at the wrong station, you
should havo stopped at Piuo Barracks,
seven miles beyond hero."
"I heard tho conductor bawl out some
thing about pino of one sort or another,"
said tho young Briton. "1 was dead
asleep, and didn't stop to discriminate,
mid 1 scrambled oil So I've made ii nils
take, havo 1? But, all tho samu, it's aw
fully good of vou to oiler to conduct mo

"And I have mado it mistake too." said
Eunico, with a gasp "Just beforo your
train came in there was a messago wired
to Big Pine station a message to detain
a bank robber who was said to bo on
the train I was all alono. but I could
havo locked him into tho ticket office per

pride). "But I was so sorry for you, you
looked so young and lnliocent; and I do
termined to givo you one moro chanco"
"For a new career," Interrupted tho
stranger, with a gust of laughter "Tho

seems to havo got olT scot free Really,
now, if ever man had a genuiuo guardian
angel, you aro ono," he added, as Eunice
led tlio way into a pretty littlo sitting
room iiung with tho last of tho Christmas
evergreens, and all aglow with red car
pet and curtains, whero n firo of logs
burned on the open hearth and a cozy
meal was spread on tho tablo.
Sir Ernest Tinsallon slept iu the
sparo chamber that night, was called
by starlight, and breakfasted at
0 o'clock tho next morning with the
telegraph operator and her mother, and
afterward accompanied her to tho Big
Pino station, plunging through white
masses of snow drift, and sliding, school
boy fashion, across tho mirror like surface
of frozen brooks. Mr Pettyclovo was
there, with his faco tied up in u upotted
silk pocket handkerchief. There were
also several telegrams awaiting tlio hand
of the operator. One was from tho chief
of police at White Peak, stating rather
late, perhaps that tho bank defalcator
had at tho eleventh hour, and on the very
step, so to speak, of tho train, surrendered
himself to the local authorities There
was another, from Col Copley, of the
Four Hundredth cavalry, inquiring if any
thing had been heard at Big Pino station
of tlio missing English baronet who was
overdue at the barracks.
"Only think," said Miss Barlow, with a
littlo shiver, "if I had locked you up in
tho ticket offico all night, what would
Col. Copley havo said!"
"That, under tho circumstnnces, you
had douo no moro than your country ex
pected of you," returned Sir Ernest "But,
1 say, all this thing wus awfully plucky
of you, Miss Barlow I don't know' of an
English girl that would havo had tho
courage to go through with it."
Eunice smiled a littlo. "Hero Is your
train. Sir Ernest." sho said.
" But 1 haven't thanked you half
enough." Ho stood holding both her
hands, his fresh English faco all eager
ness.
"It Is quito unnecessary to say any
more," observed Miss Harlow, quietly
"Thero is the telegraph 1 am wanted at
my post of duty now Good -by, Sir Era
est. I wish you a very pleasant journey "
Sir Ernest Tinsallon went on his way
into tho blue, glittering cold of that peer
less winter inofntng, with tho pino trees
looking liko Druids clad In ermine robes,
and tho plains all sheeted In level pearl,
and Eunice Barlow never saw him moro
No, ho did not como buck to woo and wed
her, as the hero of an orthodox love talo
should have douo. Ilo could not, being
already engaged to another young woman
in England But ho sent a superb ham
per of gamo to Mrs. Barlow, In caro of the
telegraph operator at Big Pino station,
and ut muiiy an English dinner table
afterward ho told tho story of his mid
night adventuro in tho wild west.
"Tho prettiest girl you over saw, by
Jovo!" ho reiterated, in that earnest way
of his, "and tho pluckiest! Joan of Aro
was nothing to her. I dreamed of her for
a week alterwards, with her swinging
lantern und those great gray eyes of hers,

And tho English brido laughed good
humoredly, and observed thut "to bear
