Sho confessed that she felt a triflo nervous at the idea of entering it alone. And I am always ready for an excursion. So much blue denim rather surprised mo, because bluo is not com plimentary to Sarah's complexion she always wears some shade of red, by preference. Sho perceived my wonder; i-he is very nearsighted, and therefore sees everything, by some sort of sixth cense. "You do not. like my portieres and curtains and table covers," raid she. "Neither do I.

'' "Then I will tell yon abont him," said Sara, taking a sect directly in front of ono i f those curtains. "Last autumn I was leaving this place for New York, traveling on ll.o fast express train known as the Flying Yankee. Of course I thought of tho Flying Dntchnian and Wagner's musical setting of the uncan ny legend, and how differ cut things ;ae in these days of steam . etc. Then I looked out of tho window nt tho land scape, tb.o horizon that seemed to wheel in a great curve as the train sped. Kv ery now and then I had au impipssieu at tho 'tail of tho eye that, a man was sitiing in a chair three r fnnr uniftbers in i'rant of mo on the dppof itf sido of thocar. Each time) that I saw this shape I locked at tho chair and ascertained that it was unoccupied. Bet it was an eddtiiek of vision. I raised my lor gnette, and tho chair showed emptier than before. There was nobody in it certainly. Hut tho more I know that it was vacant the more plainly 1 eaw tin man, always with the corner of my eye. It made mo nervous. "When passengers entered tho ear, 1 dreaded lest they might take that scat. What would liappcu if they eheuld? A bag was put in tho chair that made mo uivnmfortabie. Tho bag was re moved at the in xt station. Thou a bale was placed in tho seat. It begau to laugh as though si me ono had gently ti' klotl it. 'iheiowas something odd ahov.t that chair i:i was its mmit.rr. When I looked away from it. the im pr ssie.n was .- ' ong upon mo that some pc.;iU sitting th.io was watching me. "Koaliy, it would not do to humor each fancies, ."-o X tt inched the electric Lo.iKon. a.-ked tho porter to bring me a ta'd . ::ul t thing frr m niy bag a pock t f ; ,:ril , p; v. ,. dod to divert myself with a y e t f pat it nee. I was puzzling to put a ( :i of spades. 'Where can it p...-' I murmured to myself. A voice be hind mo p.r. mplcd. "i'lay tlio four ef eiainonds t:;; th live, and yon can do it.' 1 started. The only occupants of iko car beside.- n:e wor" a bridal couple, a mother with three little children and a tyt'ieal proa-hi r ef . of th.e strait rt boots. Who laid sp.-ken? 'Play v.v tiie four, madam,' repeated the voice. I lt;kcd fearfully over my shoulder. At iirst I saw a bluh-h cbvd, like c5g;ir smoke, but inodorous. Then the vision cleared, end I saw a young man whom I knew by o. subtle intuition to bo tho occupant, seen i:nd not seen, of chair No. 13. Evidently ho was a traveling salesman and a ghost. Of course a drummt. r'$ ghost sounds ridiculous they're so extremely alive! Or else you would expect- a dead drummer to bo particularly dead and not 'walk.' This was a most commonplace looking ghost, cordial, poshing, businesslike. At the same time- his face had an expression of titter tb sp iir and horror which made lam Mill n-it:.- preposterous. Of coarse it is not nice to lot a stra:er sp-ak to mo, even cn so impersonal a topic as a four of dijimonds. But a ghost there can't bo any rule of etiquette about talking with a ghost! My dear, it was dreadf u 1. That forward treat uro showed mo how to play nil the cards and then begged me tt) lay them out again, in or der that life might give mo some clever points. I was too much amazed and dis turbed to tpeak ; I could only place tho cards r.t his suggestion. This I did so as not to appear to bo listoniug to tho emp ty air and bo supposed to bo a crazy woman. Presently tb.o ghost spoke agaiu ami told mo his story. " '.Madam,' ho said, 'I have been rid ing back and forth on this car ever since lob. 22, ISO , seveu months and 11 days. All this time I have not exchanged a woid with any one. Eor a drummer that is pretty hard, you may believe. Y'ou know the story of the Flying Dutchman'. Well, that is very nearly my ease. A curse is upon mo and will not bo removed until some kind soul . Lint I'm getting ahead of my text. That day tlo ro were four of us, traveling for different houses. Ono of the boys was in wool, ono in baking powder, ono in boots and shoes and myself in cotton goods. Wo met on the road, took seats together and fell into talking t-hop. Those fell ows told big lies about their sales, Washington's birthday though it was. The baking powder man raised tho amount of the bills of goods which he had sold better than a whole can of his stuff could have done. I admitted tho straight truth, that I had not yet been able to make a sale. And then I swore not in a light minded, chipper ntyle of verbal trimmings, but a great, round, heaven dofying oath that I would soil a case of blue denims on that trip if it took me forever. We became dry with talk, and when the train stopped nt Kivermonth we went out to have some beer. It is good there, you know par don me, I forgot that I was speaking to a lady. Well, we had to run to get aboard. 1 missed my footing, fell under tho wheels, and the next thing that I knew they were holding au inquest over my remains, while I, disembodied, was sitting on a corner of the undertaker's table, wondering which of the coroner's jury was likely to want a case of bluo denims. " 'Then I remembered my wicked cath and understood that I was a soul doomed to wander until I could encceed in selling that bill of oods. I spoke once or twice, offering the denims under value, but nobody noticed me. Verdict: Accidental death, by negligence of do ccaseiL Railroad corporation not to blame. Deceased got out for beer at his own risk. Tho other drummers took charge of tho remains and wrote a beautiful letter to my relatives about my social qualities and my impressive conversation. I wish it had been less impressive that time. I might have liod about my sales, or I might have said that I hoped for better luck. But after that oath there was nothing for it. Back and forth, back and forth, ou this road, in chair No. lb', to all eternity. Nobody suspects my presence. They sit ou my knees I'm playing in luck when it is a nice baby, as it was this after noon ! They pile wraps, bags, even rail way literature on me. Thoy play cards under my nose and what duffers some of them are! Y'ou, madam, are tho first pcrsou who has perceived me, and there fore I ventured to speak to you, mean ing no offense. I can see that you are sorry for mo. Now, if you recall tho story of the Flying Dutchman, ho was saved by the charity of a good woman. In tact, rent a married him. Now I'm not asking; anything of that size. I sco that you wear a wedding ring, and no doubt you mako some man's happiness. I wasn't a marrying man myself and naturally am not a marrying ghost. Ami that bats nothing to do with tho matter anyway. Hut if you could I don't suppose you would havo any use for them but if you wero disposed to do a turn of good, solid Christian char ity I should 1h everlastingly grateful, and you may have that caso of denims at ?T2. aO. And that quality is quoted to day at f SO. Does it go, madam?' "Tho spiotdi of tb.o poor ghost was not very eloquent, but his eyes had an intense, eager glare which was terrible. Something pity, fear, I do not- know what compelled me. I decided to do without that white and gold evening clonk. Instead I gave 72. BO to tho ghost and took from him a receipt for the sum, signed .1. Billington Price. Then ho smiled contentedly, thanked mo with emot ion ami returned to chair No. I'-'k Several times on tho journey, ahh nigh 1 did not perceive him again, I fi !t da.:od. When the train arrived at New York and I, with the other pas sengers, dismounted, it. seemed to me that a strong hand passed under my el bow, steadying me down the stops. As I walked tho length of tho station my bag not heavy ar any time appeared to become wi :glitle-s. 1 believe that the parlor car gho.sl walked beside me car rying tho bag, whoso handle still re mained in my other hand. Indeed once or twice I thought 1 felt the touch of cold lingers against mine. Since then I havo u u reason to suppose that tho poor ghost is not at rest. I hope he is. "Hut 1 never expected or wished for tho bluo denims. The next day, how ever, a dray belonging to a great whole sale hoaso backed up to far door and delivered a ea.-o of tb. nous, with a ro coipted bill for tho same. What was 1 to do? I euuld not go about selling blno denims. I could not give them away without exciting comment. So I fur nished the cottage with them, and you know tho i fleet on my complexion. Pity im', dear! And credit mo, frivolous wo man as I am, with having saved a soul at tho expense of my own vanity. My story is told. W hat do yon think about it?" Elizabeth J'ullcu iu New Y'ork Advertiser. Firo Apparatus In tho American Colonics. Tho early settlors in America paid no attention toward protecting themselves against lire, and tho different colonies had grown into fair sized communities with so vera! industries Weil established before any stops wore taken iu that di rection. Aiiout, the earliest mention of a definite method of lire protection was juado at Salem, Mass., in 1 4 J , when each inhabitant was ordered to be sup plied with a 'adder under penalty of a lino of r shillings. These ladders were undoubtedly made in Salem or in tho immediate vicinity, and ono might readily say that here begun an Ameri can iudustiy that is now carried on so extensively in many places and under a niuhitr.de of different forms. Iu 1048 four lire wardens were appointed in New Y'ork city. Those men passed a law to fine every one whoso chimney became foul or whose house was burned by his own carelessness. Tho money so ob tained was to bo used in the purchase of ladders, hooks and buckets. Thoso wci o not provided, however, until some years later. Boston also took steps in this direc tion, and on the lirst day of tho twelfth month of lfi."i3, or, by tho modern method of computation, ou Feb. 1, l(ie4. the following curry is found in tho town records : "Tho selectmen have power and lib erty hereby to agieo with Joseph Jynks for Ingins to Cany water in Caso of fire if thoy see Cause soo to doe."

THE ELDER'S PRAYER. It Was Ont of the Rtignlar Order, but Proved EUicaclona. The Rev. H. D. Fisher could not resist tho temptation to tell a story on a brother minister : "It was Presiding Elder Still of th Methodist church. The good old man is dead now, and it can't do any harm to toll this story of him. "Tho early traveling of the elder in Kansas was not easy. He had a mule ou which ho used to rids, and this mule was uot always obodient. One day tha cider and his mule encountered a swol len stream. Along the edge of the stream the elder and his male strayed in hope of finding a safe crossing. Finally the elder found a tree that over hung the stream, and from which he l...l.iv..il 1-tA i-( n, 1 1 fcu'in n t Vi st-liA . . .: . ,".. . l . l tj.. ,i : t mho. im wjtj muiu ruajuu h ewing. Ho could swim, however, which the oldor couldn't. "All the extra clothing and the Bible were made into a buudlo and tied on the mule's back and the animal led to the water. He swam safely across and begau oating grass on the other sido. "The elder looked at the swinging limb, and dropping to his kuees, prayed fervently that he might make no mis take in getting across. Then he swung out and landed safely. "He knelt and thanked the Lord. "But there was a new obstacle. The mulo was having a good time in the grass and refused to be caaght again. Several well directed efforts flow wide of tho mark, and tho good elder was in dosporation. He must keep his appoint ment and he couldn't walk it. There was but one thing for the elder to do, and the elder did it. Down in the damp grass he dropped on his knees and prayed the Lord to help him oatoh tho mulo. "This is the only instance I ever heard of iu which a man called on the Lord to help him catch a mule, and to his dying day the elder firmly believed the Lord did it, though it took them both some time." Topeka Journal Homers and Carrier Pigeons. Tho homer and the carrier are both brilliant fliors, but the homer is tho speedier bird and better fitted for long distances. The homer has the widest spread wings of all pigeons, and can sail for an enormous distance through midair. It is also considerably lighter than the carrier and is possessed of more phenomenal powers of endurance, having been known to fly 800 milos without alighting. On a clear day, with a good sky and favorable wind, 400 i milos is an admirable record, although 500 miles a day is the goal of every pi geon flier's ambition. A bird that can perform this remarkable feat is worth at loast $100, and may be valued at $500 if it is capable of a better record. The bird's gameness, stamina and speed reach their highest point of excellence at 8 and 4 years of ago, which is the natural prime of life for a flier. After they have passed their prime they de teriorate in a scaroely noticeable degree and at 10 or 13 years of age are still good for the shorter distances.
