FRIEND IN NEED
Just a Bit of Life as It Cropped
Out on a Railway Train.
A TOUCH OF REAL HUMANITY.
The Rough Looking Man Who Proved
That Hia Heart Waa Big and In tha
Right Placa and tha Shabby but
Qrataful Foreigner Ha Befriended.
"Whenever I hear Anything nowa
days about 'man's Inhumanity to
man,' " said a Providence citizen the
other day, "1 am reminded of a little
Incident. I was coming back from
Boston with a friend on the midnight
train, aud, retting on board at the
Back Bay station, we found a sent
near the rear end of the car
"Soon after the train pulled out I
happened to look around and snw the
conductor apparently expostulating
with a rather shabby looking specimen
of humanity who was sitting tn the
last seat At first I thought the man
was drunk, but as. I watched I saw
that be was a foreigner who couldn't
understand English. He was holding
out a crumpled one dollar bill to the
conductor and saying 'New York' over
and over again.
"Finally the conductor shook hi*
bond, mild something I conldn't catch
and went on The foreigner, a rather
decent looking young fellow, gated nt
him despairingly, then burled hla face
In his hands and t>egnn to cry. With
the uaual callous Indifference of the
traveling public to the troubles of any
one else, I paid no more attention to
Uie man and prepared to take a nap.
"I waa Just beginning to dote when 1
became aware that a man waa stand
ing beside me in the aisle, speaking to
me. I sat np and looked at him. lie
was a rough appearing man. far from
prepossessing, clean shaven, with n
sort of bulldog face,
" "Say, gents.' he began, 'I want to
know If you wouldo't like to help a fel
ler out*
"1 stiffened Instinctively, determined
to refuse to let blm make a touch.'
" "There's a poor young foreigner
back there." he went on with a Jerk of
hla thumb toward the alien, still alt
ting with bowed head, 'and he'a up
against it for fair. Me can't speak a
word of Rngllsh. and be wanta to go
to New Vork. where be has friends.
" "He got the Idea somehow he could
do It ror a dollar, all he's got; but. of
course, he can't, and they're going to
put blm off the train when we get to
Providence. It's mighty hard on a fel
ler like him. and there ain't any tell
ing wbat'll happen to him getting put
off in a stratifce city at I o'clock In the
morning. I thought maybe you'd be
willing to give a little to help hire
along '
"He stopped, looked us straight In
the eye and smiled sheepishly as If he
were ashamed of what he waa doing
We gave him a dollar, and he went on
through the car. and there were few of
the passengers who didn't respond to
the appeal lie came back counting
the money, aud aa he got to our seat I
heard blm say:
?' There's a dollar more needed? I'll
make It up myselfr and he pulled out
a couple of fifty cent pieces and added
tbem to the amount.
"The conductor and the brakeman
were standing at the door of the car
near the foreigner's seat.
"'Here,' said the man who bad col
lected the money to the alien; 'give me
yonr dollar.'
"Dumbly, but trustingly, the young
fellow banded It over, and, giving It
to the conductor with t he rest, the bull
dog man said grufBr:
* "l uere s uia urtk
"It slowly dawned on the alien what
had been done for him. and as the con
ductor punched the rebate chock and
banded It to blm the gratitude tn his
face was Indescribable. He couldn't
speak, but he took his cap off and
bowed again and again to the official,
but the latter pointed to the passenger
who was sitting In his seat across the
aisle and told the youth that be ws.
the one to thank
'The foreigner crossed the aisle till
he stood squarely tn front of his bene
factor. took off hta cap and. with tears
of gratitude to his eyes. bowed again
and again. It was evident enough that
the benefactor was embarrassed by
this unexpected outburst At first be
waved his band around the car to indi
cate that everybody bad bad r. band In
It But he cou'dn't make the foreigner
understand The latter kept on bovr
lng. whereupon the uncomfortable In
dividual in the seat gnmted and turn
ed to look out of the window.
"1 have oever seen." concluded the
man wbo whs telling the story, "a
kindlier? If I were a girl I should say a
sweeter- act of charity In my life. Bit
ting acmsa the aisle, this bard faced
man bad heard the story of the for
eigner, helpless, alone and frightened,
and out of pnre goodness of heart,
without any necessity for doing It be
bad taken upon himself the ungrateful
task of soliciting money from tbe rest

ir The ?
Wild West
It W?? Different From What
Johnny Bruce Had
Expected
By EVELYN THURBER
Every community adapts Itself to Its .
necessities. In the early dars In the
wild nest, a home was about the moat i
valuable thing a man could posstaa.
consequently horse thlevea. when
ca light, were hanged by the neck.
The tales picturing tba conditions ei
istlng in that country In those days?
tales usually written by elderly ta
llies living iii civilised eastern hotnea?
were fascinating to youth They made
the boys feel that tbey would Ilka to
live that kind of a life Just as ona
reading an imaginative description of
a battle would wish to be In It. Tba
real western life and the real battle
are entirely different from these fancy
pictures and altogether unattractive.
Hut Johnn.f Bruce, a city boy. hav
ing read the dime novels of bis day.
when he came of age, having fallen
heir to a little money, concluded to go
west, have a look at the country and.
if he liked I"., would Invest his legary
In a stock of gooda and set himself np
for a merchant. So Johnny took a train
and was pulled as far on his Journey
as there were locomotives to pull him,
then got into a stage coach and went
as far as that mesns of conveyance
lanted. Not finding anything rough
enough to suit him be thought he
would go further on horseback. He
had provided himself with wearing ap
parel mnde for him after the pictures
of "Arkansnw Pete" or "Tennessee
Joe," published In the dime novels be
had read, sc he put on the gsrments
and cast about for a horse.
Thorp weren't many horse* in th*
country at nhe time, and what there
were, were In dally use. Johnny
spent a lot of time trying to blr* or
buy an animal and failed. Then It
occurred to him that the hero In one
of the novel* he had read, when fleeing
for bla life, had borrowed a horn* to
speed biro In his flight. It seemed to
Johnny that the time had com* to
put In practice some of that daredevil
recklessness for which lie had coin*
west He wonld go to some man's
barn, take a horse and, when through
with It. sen<1 It back to Its owner
Having located a barn during the
day. at dead of night he went there,
saddled a horse? a coal black stood.
Johnny's favorite color for a horse
waa black?and mounting cantered
gaily away.
Johnny pulled up In the morning at
a small town and. asking to be direct
ed to a hotel, waa shown a linns*, the
person dolnjf so saying:
"Madge Barker, she keep* hoanlera
in that nr bonne; you monght git In
<har. There ain't no hotel hereabout."
Johnny w>?nt to the house and was
received by a woman with ton sled
hair and irarmenta decorated with
crease spotli. who welcomed him and
prepared a breakfast for him. He waa
waited on during the meal by Madge's
daughter, who, had she been better
dressed, mljht have presented a come
ly appearanr*. She was Just Johnny's
age and It waa evident from her man
ner that she was much ple*s*d with
the young man. She had never- at
least, not In a long while? seen any
thing so flu*. She asked hlra what
sort of a costume It was he had on.
which surprised him, for he had sup
posed It wiia the kind worn In that
country.
.loDnnya nrsi mougm w?> <? mm
some one tc> take the borrowed home
hark to hlH owner, hut he had not
been to bed the night t?efore and was
very sleepy; so he deferred returning
the animal till he had had a nap. lie ,
askp<l for a room and waa shown to
one. There waa a bed In It? that la.
It waa called a bed though It waa real
ly a hunk built against the aide of the
room, which waa not plastered and
had no celling to rarer Ita bare and
rough hewn rafter*. There waa net
ther carpet nor furniture, except a
wasbstand with a tin haaln on It
A reaction came over Johnny Some
how there waa no dime novel clamour
about the place, and he waa aeiaed
with a sudden lit of homesickness
However, he laid himself down on the
odorous cotton "comfort*''? the only
bed covering? without undressing, re
solving thut he had already had
onough of ihe wild and woolly weat.
and Instead of sending back the horse
he would lake It himself and go on
home. Having come to thla comfort
Ing resolution he fell asleep.
He waa awakened during the after
noon by soveral men. who crowded
Into the room. "Come, we want yon."
Half awike, Johnny blinked his
oyes at them, not understanding what
it all meant One of the men tnr.k
hold of hit arm and landed him on
the floor. Johnny fell, bnt waa lifted
roughly on to his feet.
"What do yon want with mef he
asked. Irritated by his treatment.
"You'll And that oat soon enough,"
said one of the men, and. taking him
by the coat collar, pushed him down the
steep atalrway.
On the ground floor there were Madge
and her diinghter, looking surprised
"Lawa a mercy!" exclaimed the lat
ter, "Who'd 'a' thought he waa a hoas
thief?"
The remark waa the flrat Intimation
Johnny had aa to tba cans* of bla treat
