Jake was working as a track walker down tuere, and It was late one evening when he was in a shallow eat at the top of a double Incline, and as he looked up and down the road he sees thq headlight of a train approaching him. Then he remembers Hist there was s special for a Sunday school picnic from Philadelphia that day, and the next moment lie realizes that the regular evening train is about due In the oppoxlte direction, turning from around a curve, and he knows thry must be on the one track because one track was all there was. He thinks of the babies and the pretty teachers all killed and wounded and laid along the bank, and he nearly goes crazy with horror, for you see if lie rung and flags the one train with liis red lamp he can't stop the other curve and from comiug round (lie banging Into It. Just then he bears a Jangle bell over head and a bright Idea comes to him. He dashes np the bank of the cut and grazthere be finds a poor old moo-coing In a field. It takes him only a second to knock in the fence and be catches out her by the horns and drags her down to clear the trark, tumbling her over across the rails. Fortunately she was hoppled, too, and he took a twist of the rope around his sledge hammer that he had to drive loose spikes, and he hitched the hammer in between a couple of sleepers so poor old bossy couldn't by any chance get away. You see, he figured the engineer of the sleeper would see her and atop, or else he'd atop when he bit her anyway. So he started off with his lamp to head ran until be ran himself out end then he ran until he ran himself and then he stopped and began to wonder why he didn't see her light or hear her beat as Briefly summarized, liis rules declare that courtship shall not last longer than eight mouths, that it is the duty of mothers to ascertain the in tentiona of the young man, that the h, family should not desert ths parlor oh jut the occasion nf his visits, that calling hours should be limited to the period between 8:30 and 10:30, amt that there shall be no spooning or sitting close together In cozy corners or other dim parlor recess?. The most casual survey of thia severe code forces the conclusion that it practically abolishes courtship altogether, lu the first place Cupid does not take kindly to a time limit, and the idea that eight months la to be his extron limit will have a tendency to discourage hia efforts which in this practical and prosaic age already show signs of flagging. T he sure he can accomplish his fell designs in the twinkling of an eyelash. Thanks to his able prompting, men anil women have met and loved and married all In the space 0t a month, or a week, AT twenty-fou- r hours, of one hour, indeed. But he is only apt to execute such pranks when he feels that he has all licui st his disposal, and if a limit were set him, even in these severe cases, would probably go way beyond it from sheer perversity. The interference of any third person in the love affairs never accom pllshes anything, and though aa occasional timid bachelor may be scared iuto matrimony by the questioning of an anxious mamma, the average sophisticated citizen is far more likely to be scared away.
