"Oh, tanliion a charm, wi

She rushed, with the charm that the wiz¬ ard made.
In «eari'h of her love and they That Ithe met lieheld her wilh looks of love,
.\nd. turning, they went her way.
At laat the one for whom nhc had sighed
Fell down at her feet to plead For the love nhe had npurned—in vain he cried—
She coldly refused to heed.
The auitors came hy the e.core to v.n<\. She broke their hearts and ahe nn aee Them following, eager, hoping, who, When   they   turned   went   chidiog   her mournfully.
At laat she sought the wizard again Who had mane her Ihe charm that day;

"And give me again tho heart I had

TIT.\T wns a oolil dny for Dick Kayiiioiid wiipu lie whm r.'- fi;spd a pass on the lO) A o.er whii'h ho hud liavihil fi-ie tho greater part of his life, uud for Komp tlQii' he couhl n.it, «<iiil.l iiot. believe Hint the nrd.ntive was almo lute and irreviii-alilc. lie ai'Kiied with himself thnt there luiiHt be soiue uiIm take. But when he appealed from Ihe superintendent tu the piefiideDt uf the read and found his appeal In vain: when he had lioeu informed in turn by nil the uRI.'ials. that no fiirlhtr privl. leges in the way of free ti'an.'<p<)rla.ion would be given him, he was a sorely disappointed man.
Ilo had aeipilred the pass haliil i:i a severely oliiouh' form. It had be come aeute. To tie conipelled to pay for a benetit to whi.'li he felt enllllej seemed to him n Kliat iiijusllce. The many privllesrs lie iiad enjoyed in the past did not eoiisole lilm noAV. Dick was sui generis; his enemies said, nun ci>ni|ios mentis, his friends apoh.igetic ally. Hint he was nut "all there."
It might be well 111 e.\plaiii why nick Raymond coii.ildi red lilmself ellgilile to the privilege of free transportation It began twenty year* ago. when C'lil- rngo was more of a village than nt present, nnd nillroad passes eiuonr- nged travelers to anvertlse fncilllhs ot travel. Hick was a news gatherer on a country newspaper whieh liad weight iu its eoniinunity. He had a vivid imnglnalion and a facile pen. an.l pleased the olflelnls of a most iiuporlaiit railroad, one of the oldest In the West. He wns a young man who hnd plenty nf that coinniodlly known us "iheek" )r "brass" in those days, now ilassed as "ucrve." Tile suavity of his manner, nnd Ills inler.'stlng method as a wrller- iip of topics of value in railroad circles saved .'llm from bcoiiiing a b.ir.', but he sometimes exccede.l his privileges, ns when he asked the general superin¬ tendent of the raiiroa.l for a pass for himself nnd brother. That otllcial sat back in Ids desk chair and looke.l at Dick. Willi n.'ver changed countenance nt the sarc.'isllc (lUesllon:
"I km w wliiil yoii have dun.' for Ihe road. Mr. Raymond, but may 1 ask what your brother Is doingV"
Dick had the saving grace at Hint moiiient of alisullile slIeiKi'. Th.' su I erintenilent saw that the yi ung man was conscious of the fact that Ik- bad gone too far. but. like all railroad men of that day, win bad known hard lines themselves, hc was good-nnlured and kind'li<<urled, aud he mnde out Hie pass "«ud luothir." And he wns glad when al a social gal!icri:ig of railroad mngnntes. where stories I'anie in nt the wine and walnut lourse, he toll the story as nn illustration of coloKsal cheek, aii.l anctiier olllciul of the s:ime road ijirtfPiSS "Did he tell .Ton iilioi I Iliat broilier''" ".Not a word."
"He was a erl'iple from hi.-; liirth and Di.'k has broiiglil hiui np tiy huuJ. tlie mother dyi:ig wl.eii t.'ie liny wns an lufanl. Di.'k is very kind in ilie young ster. aud i :ini ln'.d r.'iiial'is siiiglj' for his sake. He is siiriieU.ing of i^ hero as well as a hiisiler."
As Ihe years weiii on Di.k foiiml it hard to roimd I'lai lircu'.l of labor wlilili   is  di'scribeil   'iieia|.|iiiiically   as
dent insurance company and lAd bis life insuri.l. paying the first pr'Uiiuiii and taking out his policy. If injureil. he was to huve « .ertaiu sum every week until well, ami If he dii'd, more niuney ihnli he had ever dreamed of having, and ihe beneficiary was his crippled brother.
Dick hnd grown ol.l and gray, but hc kept his good heart and Ills foolish smile, wore cheap clothes nnd gave his crippled waril every comfort, and no one knew except one other nnd himself what a "demnltion" struggle life hnd been. And it looked darker than ever as he started home pennUess. Started, bu^ did not go there. It Is al¬ ways the unexpected thnt happens, ^et this wns ihe very thing which Dick was planning for, but uot in such a hurry. A rear end collision with a milk train sent him to the liest hospl. tal In the city, and his Insurance paid all Ilia expenses, including the crippled brother. And the railroud did the rest, the corporntlon Inwyer waiting on the sufferer with n proposition of settle¬ ment on the most generous terms. Whereas, If Dick had been riding on a Iiasg the company would hnvc been I'lonernted from  blame or obligation.
His friends visited him nt Ibe hos¬ pital, finding him In splints and bnnd- nges. his head bound np. one eye bndly dnninged, but a smile six Inches Ijng across his white visnge.
"Did .v.iu ever hear of such luck?" ho asked cheerfully. "It seems too gocd to be true.    All my expenses paid and

BLOOD   TEST   OF    GUILT.

An I'^ngllsh assessor was present, and counsel a|ip.'ared jn both sides.
The cnse was one in which a native ilete.'tlve was nccused of aliducting a girl beiiiithed to auolher man. The iiuestion hefore Ihe Magistrate to di?- clde was whether the accused should tie arraigned on a civil or a criminal charge. i*
All the witnesses, eveu the girl hcr- s.'lf an.l her mother, declared Ihat the man ba.l not ninltreated her. Uut .Magistrate ('bang was of another opin¬ ion, anil he commanded thnt the moth¬ er be iM'Hten in order to extract the confession he wns sure she was with¬ holding. This was futile, f course, as Hie poor woinan bad nothijg to con¬ fess.
Tlieu Hie accused mnn who wns nl- rendy en his knees, took onth In Chi¬ nese fnshlon by lireaking a saucer. Most solemaly he proteste.l that hia relations with the girl had been pro¬ per. .Slill the .Magistrate was not satlo- tlitl and he demanded ai^olher test.
The girl's forefinger was flrst cut and the Idood therefrom allowed lo drop into a bowl of water provided by 111.' court. T!ie de.teilive's finger was iix.'t .'Ul nn.l Ihe .same proceeding car¬ ried .lUt. The Magistrate then held that as 111.' blood inlxe.l the detective vas guilty, and r.niande.i him for trial li.'fore thi' I'oiiri nu a criminal chnrge.

Boston. Jlass.—The representatives of K|"eat niercauiile liodles of the city, sec¬ onded by the chief exi'cutiveg of the city and Stnia In conference wilh Ihe recogniied leaders of organ!n>tl lalior, have endeavored to eud Ihe great strike of freight liandb'is nnd kindred trades, represented iu the Allied Freight Transportniion Council. .\lK>ut 40.000 men were directly or Indirectly involved in the strike.
Mediation was decided upon at a eonferenee In the otflce of (Iovernor Crane. The decision was Immediately reported to the .Vllletl Freight Trans¬ portation Council nt a special meetiug and unanimously Indorsed.
Th.' pro|xised settlement was tho outcome of an expi'.'ssed determination of (Governor Crane and tbo.se repre¬ senting Hie merchants of Boston to bring all possible pressure to bear iiiion the New Y'oik. Xew Haven and Hart¬ ford Railroad Company to adopt the rules In force upon the Boston and Maine Railroad, foriiiilding freight handlers to unload teams ex.'cpt at Ihelr own option nnd risk.
The Brine Transportation Compnuy. the loading aud nnbin.ling of whose li.m-uuion teams precipitated the strike of the New York, New Haven and Hnrttord freight haudleis, did not figure nl all lu the proposed settlement of Ihe present coulroversy, and as fnr as that company is conivrned the seu- limenl against it on the part of the la¬ bor unions Is as bitter as ever. I'nder the new arrangements, however, union inen will not t>e required to load or un¬ load its teams.
It waa found, however, that il was one thing for the Strikers' Committee to declare the strike olT. but quite an¬ other thing to make the laboring men believe tbut the matter hud beeu set¬ tled sntlsfnctorily. The feeling that they hnd been badly beaten was bit¬ terly emphasized when upon reporting for work the men found tbat hardly seventy-five iier cent, of the old men could "get their Jobs bai'k. This wns especially the case wilh the freight handlers, clerks nnd longshoremen. At the three big raiiroa.l yard:. ;mi enor¬ mous amount of frelglii was handled, but on the docks iiraellcally nothiug was done.
As the dny wore on things assumed a better look, nnd the longshoremen voted to return to work. The freight handlers formerly eniploye.l liy the New Y'oi'k, New Haven and Hartford and the Boston and Albany Roads voted not to return lo work unless they were tnk.'U back in a body. The. irool handlers took similar acliou. The Expressmen's I'nion voted to go back. The freight hnudlers of the Boston nnd Mnlne Railroad voted to return, but Iniisinucb ns the compauy already had a nuinlier of men at work In their places, many of the old employes did not succeed in regaining their former positions. It Is lielloved tliat eventual¬ ly they all will regnln their ohl posi¬ tions.
The teamsters bad Utile troutile in getting Ibeir old places again and very Utile grumbling was iieard from ihat (juarlor.
The first bloodshed of the strike oc¬ curred when a Brine four-horse truck was going lo the Boston and Maine yards, iu Cbarlestowii, followed by a crowd of KHKI. Nearlng City Square some boys tlirew stones at Driver Olau- oey. (iiancey wliippeil out a revolver and fiivd poiul-blauk iiilo Ihe crowd. Tile bullet struck rnlrli k Keefe. eigli- feeii yenrs old. iu the fleshy part of tho arm. lilanc.'y was iirrestiil. Allogethct there was a much more vicious spirit shown liy tbe strikers and list fights ami stone throwing were a cominoii sight.
in court .lodge Bragg discharged Glnncey. und said thnt people who imr- tlelpate In mobs must ablile tiy Ihe cousi'qiieuces. If a man is driven to nn extreniily It Is not rnriirising if he adopts the usual  menus of defense.
During the strike the utienipt to move freight of any kind was almost fruitless. The abseuce of coal ileliv- eriea was keenly f.'lt lu many lilares, especially by hotels, which depend on daily   dellverleH.
