Father's Love Story. ed
out
"Tom's asleep," said his sister. stn
The boy had been sitting dreamily vii
gazing into the fire, his hands claspl my
edi behind his head, hut, at the sound has
of her voice, he anlswered, pleasantly, hef
'Not quite, Ida. I was just thinking 'I
if sulch tlings as we rell of in story tha
books ever halppen. (if course I be- toy
lieve that some do ; but I tiean those fell
stories in which a young mall res- e
cues a strange girl from unheard of I h
danger; they fall in love with each at
other on the instant, her father sets shi
him up in business, or makes hint a thit
ipresent .of a few thousand dollars ; au1
they get mnarried, and live happily fee
ever afterwards." cot
All laughed at the picture Tomn
drew, and a certain sly look passing it
between father and mothlr did not mn
Iape tilhe atettion rfi Idii, who dei* ial
ieilhded her favorite book with all her bri
might. ''Of course they do," said an.
she ; "and I am sure almost every thi
one will agree with mel. Dou't you, fi
father I" gh
"I must say, my dear, that I can- lwi
tint contradict you, and if you would ye
like to hear a story I will tell you
how your mother and I became ac
quainited." i
"Oh ! I know well enough how that
was,"' said Tons. "You were intro
duced by some friend at a party, per
halis, and went to see her olnce aii
neek, all regular as chlil, work, un- y
til you were married ; but--" t
"Now, Tou, that's real mean,," co
broke in his sister, "to interrupt
father in that way-go on, pa ; I'll -
keep this young cub froml growling," til
and chll;anging her seat for one near
Tolt's she laid her finger on his lips. tie
"'Well, my dear, nothing could be til
further flrow the reality thaln your
brother's supposition. Very few sto- di
lies that I have read sur1pass this in
point of adventure, ntd certainlly
ntioe have beenII quite as interesting
to tle. It hllapened ill this way :f
You know I formerly traveled a great Iil
deal on tue cars between here and B.
Your grandmnother was living then, fn
and I used to run back and forth
quite often. I never troubled my head "
much lloout the ginis in those days, no
and, although I was in business for y1
myself, cared little about high hats, t
canes or cigars."
An exclamation from Tom showed
that lie was interested at least, and
lecessitated his sister putting ler W
arms around .his neck to prevent a
repetition of the interruption.
''One mniiiug I started, as usatil,
for tlluthoths, Secutlig a good seattin«l
the ears behind a maUe who was busily i
tilulodytdl inl eating lleatnuts, throw
in' thi shells on the floor and spit- ex
tttng o(lt of Ihr el winihlow. I ol,,,d W'I
tluit turiltng .,lLp, aul was soon iu wl
terestedl itt the ac;coullit of an laccident ti
that hatd hajlpetned tlhe day lewoi e. w
lThe article was a lonig one. I had lt
read the palp r thlt onugh, and we hadl
left the city lifteen or twentty miles as
be lhiut usu , wlhen at cry t'oll a lady
l4opposite catused tl e to look out of the I
window. We were about crossing a ht
ro:ad and I saw that a horse attached to
to a box w:agonl wa r itnniting away, lit
and coniitiiig toward us at the ttop of te
his speed. I also saw that a very
plretty young lady held oll to the it
reins as tightly as possible, and Pt
exerted all her strentgthi to stop the re
animal who had got completely be- Je
yiTnd her control.
"What indtced mle Io do it, I don't
know; but, acting oi thle itllttlse of
th tIomnenit, I sprillg op andl pulled
the conllecting line. Folttlnately I "
was in thie last cal, and we were not
riuntit g fast it the time. I relteuber
hearing tile whistle froml the locomo
tive siglifyinig "down brakes," and
thlat one mlan, who seemted to divine
my intenltion, tried to stop lue. liur- a
rying to the lear ila:tfoilu I took tly b
position on the step, and s ti the train ,i
slowed up jinllped off'. I was none 1
too soo01, aid jullst had time to cltch tile
tail boaud ot the wagon as the horse,
nmure thai ever flighletecd at the
sight of tihe train, tore across the i
track. It riequlired all my strengtll to tl
hold ton, antd if I had not Ibeenu piretty t(
quick and active, I should have lbeen
tlhrownl aside andt killed. However, f
I ouatnlged to get in at last, and ta
king tile reins, wonld, in all Iprobabil
ity, either lhave pulled tie horse over ,
ilnto tile vehicle or my arms frotl tile
sockets (tle last 3o"1 will agree with
mne being tile most likely thing of the t,
two to happeln), whaen stddenly the ,
right-hand line broke, and, afraid h
f that if I pulled on tilhe other, outr u11
ruly steed might turn and upset us t
I was obligedl to throw it down and t
think of snome plan to stop Itr..
"All this tiime the young lady hlad
id not slaid a l wold, :aid sat perfectly still,
" although I could see froml thie palllor
of lhe-I lace, and a sliglh trelnbliing iof
Sthile lips, that she was fully alive t, I
the danger ofour position. I knew a
- that vwhat I didl I tilst ldo quickly, for t
we had nearly leeni thloiwn out two
or three titnes, and I had shaken tiy
head emphatically at mny fellow suf-l
ferer in nlswer to her atlte appenl for
perm1issioi to jlUlmp. I knew thitI
brokell limbs would be tile conse-e
queuce, and resolved to do all in my
l poaer to lprevent suchll a calanlmity.
Seeinug no other way I leaned forward, I
amld, grasping a ba:ckstrap, ilpt a fotot
on each shaft, and in this manlier
worked nmy way oil to tile hlorse's
back. A short distance aheatl the
rood took a sharp turn, and I made
up mny mind that the horse must be
t stopped before we reaclled it; so I
threw my arms around.his neck with
the idea of chocking hili, when tie
whliftetree becanle detached frim the
ed slhaft. Nothinig that I am aware of
ke more likely to tlerrify a horse than to
have sontetlhing knocking against his
h eels, and I found that it required
some skill to keep my seat. One
kick-the shatts were denmolished and
we were free from thle wagon, which
ran ahead by its ow velocleity, until
one of the front wheels struck a stone,
or turning the carri:lage so thait it ran
into the bashes, whichll lined the rtoad,
aud saonped. A glatnce behinad show
ed me all tllhis, aud I was about lookimng
out folr my own safety when the beast
stumbled, throwing me with great
violence over his llead. I know that.
my temple struick something preilyv ie
hard ; I saw several flaslhns of light ha
hefote Imly eyes, :rad then all was still. lei
The next tling that I remneminber is up
that I was lying on a bed inl a stranget (n
room, with niotller b mymy side. I dis
felt very weak and wondered how I V
came there, until I saw the lady whom , ir
I Ilad risked my life to save stalnding ; It

that I had regained conscioullsness, tr
