I winded to be a worker aa well a a preacher. In tbe pariah wbero I waa there were few poor eople aud couaequeutly little good to be done among thuae who moat need, to my thinking, a clergyman.

Tnklna It up, I opened It. ' It waa a trashy novel. Turning over tha leavea, I came upon a pl&ce of paper on which waa written an uufluUbcd note. I waa about "to put It aside when my eyea caugbt my own name. Before my Ideaa of rlgbt bad time to cryatalllze I bad aeeu enough to com pel me to aoa moro.

Thla wnste words" Wben tbe writer of thla fragment re turned 1 hud risen and waa looking out of tbe window. She reaumed ber aeat na though ahe expected me to resume by Intellectual discussion. Instead I fired at ber a whole blunderbuss load of tbe worst love twaddle man ever apoke to woman. Before sending tbia story to the printer aa "au Incident from real life" I ahowed It to my wife. She read it through carefully, I watching ber to note Ita effect upon her. I expected to seo Indications of surprise. 1 was disappointed. "Stupid!" ahe exclaimed. "Do you mean to tell me It never occurred to you tbat I left that note there for you to see?" SHE SAVED HIM By BENJAMIN L TUCKER Copyright, by American Praaa Aaaoviailon. I waa riding one day ou a road In what waa then a territory of the Cult ed Htatea In an unfrequented region I belonged to tbe country, tlioiicli uoi to tbal particular part of ll, and waa drraaed lu the cuxlume lu Vugue there -namely, a woolen ahlrt aud iruuavra 'ilgb boots and auuibrero. Ilinrliig tin iallou uf bur behind me, I turned iud aaw two luce coming. Each Uau ode a bonw and led another. I thought out h lug of the matter till bey ciiuie clime behind me, wheu I it urd a rough Voice about : "llnuda up, t.traugcrr I knew enough of tbe practices ol be country to unuVraluud ibul If I lldu't drop my bridle rein and above wlb hands up over my bead I would get a bullet In me. Xly revolver wa at my hip. but to draw It would bt ure death. One of tbe men rode lu iidvabc of nie and kept me covered, while the other ordered me to dis mount and give np my revolver. 1 did o. and, taking my horse In tow, be left me the burse be bad been leading and together tbey rode ou rapidly. It waa an hour after this that I beard other horse, and several men ame up to me and aurrounded me. Cue f I hem rwognlwd in the borse I rode 'lie property. I told lilui tbe atory of tow I bad come Into poaeHlon of It ut be an Id I uilibl spare myself aucb itniM t that, and I waa taken buck to he nearest town and thrown lutu Jail harped with borse ate Mug. The Jail muslsled uf the second story f a amnll brick house, the windows ol i bli h bad been tilted wltb liars. I vas put Into one of theoe ruuin. The ipprt part of the dour also was burred mi that the Jailer could see a prisoner without opening the-door.' 1 knew It wuuld only be while tbe man who bad lost bla borse eould get together an Improvised court before I would be tried and If I couldn't prove I wasn't a borse thief would be bnnged. Be ing a stranger there, 1 dldu't aee bow ( could furnish tbe evidence. It waa about sunset of the day I waa arrested, while I was pondering on tbe chances of swinging, that looked up and aaw a young face at tbe 'jarred opening In my door. By tbe ong bnlr parted lu the middle 1 knew be owner- of the face to lie a girl. be apHared to be about elxteen. but he was not much over fourteen. 8 be vaa looking at ine sympathetically. 1 vns twenty-one years and at tbat age uld to have Ihmu good looking. "What y' been dolu'?" she asked. "Horse ateallug." I didn't think It forth while to assert my lunoceuce. "Wbat'll Ibey do with jT "Hung me." A whitish tinge came on her face. and ber eyea grew very big. "D' y' want me to let y' out?" "Cau you do ao without Ita being known that It wna you who did It?" "Beckon ao. I'm a party good liar." "How can I get away?" There'a horses below. There'a no body about J 1st now." "Well, If you can let me out you may save my life." Sue went downstairs, brought up a ui neb of keye aud wltb oue uf them tulocked my door. It waa then that I tot a full view of ber. Pile was tall, .veil formed and but for ber skirts, which -were ao short they looked aa If me bud outgrown tbem, would have passed for ulneteuu or twenty. She n-aa rather a wild looking thing, not at ill tidy, ami her hair wua uncombed. She ran to a amnll stable lu rear of he Jutl aud ted uut a horse that stood addled aud bridled. Taking the reins u my left baud, I put my arm around ter, giving her a kiss full of fervent ;ratitude. , then, uiouutlug. dashed i way. The Inst glance I gave ber bowed me a red spot In each cheek -the bnd doubtless been k limed for tbe itrst time by a full grown man. - 1 bud been out au hour, and my horse waa getting Juded be was a very alow beast when, bearing a gal lop behind me, I urged him on, turn ing nt the same time to learn wbo waa coming. 1 aaw skirts fluttering lu the wind. Nut. being afraid ot a womun, 1 slowed up and tbe next time I turned aaw that my pursuer waa the (lrl wbo bud let me out of Jail. She .vns riding astraddle, aud. ber bulr was Jylng. "Well," I said, "what la It?" "I Jlat thort I'd go wltb ye." 1 waa startled. Many things passed through my brain, the principal being that if caught I would be surely bang ed for horae ateallug, to say nothing of abduction. But I couldu't be more than hauged and might aa well be hanged for both aa one. "Well, come on," I said. We rode till darkness came nnd, for tbo matter of that, till daylight Then we were aafe. I told the girl, who was a niece of tbe Jailer's wife and bnd never been taught anything, that we must part for awhile, alnce I Intended sending her to school. She vowed she would stay with me.- But I stood firm, prom ising that if ahe would remain at school two years ahe might come back to me. She consented at lnat, nnd during two. years we never once aaw each other. tbougb we corresponded. Through ier letters 1 was able to note the Improve ment going on In ber. At first they were dreadfully crude; Indeed, ao-much so as to be amusing.' But from the tlrat bespoke Innocence. At last she returned, and great waa tbe change In ber. We are now man nnd wife.
