that’s a little tie worst yet— augh!” It was clear ho had no suspicion of the part played by the young woman, and it was not my place to enlighten him.“It was a piece of tomfoolery, Cy, and the boys will have the laugh on you both when yon tell them how 1 gave you the slip and got out of the country.” “You hain’t got out the kentryyet,” was his significant comment.“Not ju»t yet, but I soon shall, thanks to you and your stepson.You eeo I have Archie’s revolver, and now I shall take your Winchester.Since you persist in looking upon mo as a horeo-tbief yon may as well include the theft of weapons.” He emitted n blistering imprecation, but saw there was no help for it.He was still reaching for the stars when I commanded : “Face about toward tho hotel!” Ho complied with surprising prompt-aess.“If yon stoop or attempt to pick up your gnu, 1 11 shoot.It won’t bo the first time I fired a revolver, und you are in good range.” Despite iny watchfulness and readiness to use my weapon the fellow outwitted mo.“March,” I added, “and don’t pause or look around until you climb back through the window.” Ho began moving, but his feet seemed to become entangled in the vines that had partly retarded my steps.Head ranccd slowly, tripped, swore and struck his toe against somo obstruction.Then ho straightened up and stumbled ouwrvrd with the same difficulty.The cunning veteran was kicking his Winchester along in front of him, and I had no suspicion of it.In this maun«T he advanced for fully a rod, when, like a flash, ho stooped snatched up bis rifle, and, wheeling with tho same amazing quickness, let fly ai me.I felt tho tail graze my temple and snip off a bit of hair.Dazed for tho moment.I discharged two chambers of my revolver, but in tho flurry nii.sed, ns ho had just done with his Winchester.Before I could pull myself together for another shot he was beyond fair range, while he, knowing the useless-ness cf firing at me, retrained from the attempt I had safely emerged from my prison but my full escape remained to be made.It would rot do to stay at A1 dine, nor indeed anywhere in that sec tj n.It was 20 milts to I lie stean Ending, and I could hardly f *< 1 s until aboard of one of the boats an steaming up or down the Mi-si'-ippi.1 was tempted to try a dnredevr thin That was to Heal into the barn, r omit ti e horse I had honestly bough’ und hie away at headlong speed.Re flection, however, convinced me thaï such an art would invite my own rnlri.31 y escape was known to Cy Walteu and Archie Hunter, and they would be on th.ait rt for anything of that nature.; lauding just outside the garde n ol tire old inn, I decided that my l;< d course was to push inland until I reached some town or village where 1 wa> unknown or could communicate with the authorities should it prove neccr «ary.It would seem that the facts being as 1 have given it should be an eas> matter for me to escape the punishimn! dao another man, but unfortunate - * 1M > m ;, !£1 J, Ml \ /a ( v •rr\% Snntrhed up his rifle and let fly at me.1 filchings have been and are still toe common in some parts of our country for the most innocent person to bo abso lutely safe.It did not take me long to reach thi» conclusion, and simultaneous with il came the alarming discovery that I wa» mistaken in believing I was aluue.CHAPTER IX.It will bo remembered that tho night was clear and starlit.There would bt no moon until near morning, and it wa» so new that the additional light wa» not likely to bo appreciable.There wa» scarcely a cloud in the sky, so that il was ea>y to distinguish objects at a dis tance of 15 or 20 yards.The gentle wind was crisp and pleas ant, and I breathed deep drafts after m> long eoufiuemeut in the stuffy room ol the inn.The ozone, with tho reawaken ing of hope, tilled me with delicious joy.I was strong and brave.Such was my mood when I was star tied by tho unmistakable sound of a footfall behind me.My first though! was that Archie Hunter had joined lib parent in the search and was trying t( steal upon me from the rear.I wheeled, revolver in baud, and faced tho new dan ger.I was looking over an undulating meadow which sloped away in the gloom beyond sight.Neither on th right nor left could its boundary be de tected.It was at tho rear of tho inn, and therefore led awTay from tho mail road, which I dared not travel, since the indignant citizens, determined not tr.be balked of their prey, would scour th« whole country for me, and it would I ¦ impossible to throw them off my track.Though 1 hud heard tho stealthy foot fall, 1 could not see anything to explain it.So far as I was able to judge, nc man wain in sight and yet it W'as in credible that ray ears should have de ceived me.Scanning my surroundings, I observed that the field upon whoso margin I wai Standing was uncultivated, and a little to the left was what appeared to bo u natural hummock.With no special ob ject in mind, I walked toward it, when, to my astonishment, it rose to its feet with tho question: “Hello, dat yo\ Mnrse Hank?” It whs u short, stocky negro who thus addressed me, and without stopping to explain Ids blunder as to my Identity 1 demanded: “Who are you?” “Huh, doan’ yo* know Rastn* Brown.Colonel Mansley’s nigger?’* “What are you doing here?” The question seemed to strike the Af rican as excessively funny, for ho humped his shoulders and chuckled.“Who yo’ s’pose sent me?” “I haven’t any idea.” “Hain’t, eh?Yah, yah! Why, Mi si Esther done sent mo.” “What for?” “Wid her complermeuts and d« special obquest dat yo’H run like d« debbil.” “Did she say that?” “Doan’ ’member de words obractly, but dat’s what she meant.I say, Marss Hauk, y o’ gib ’em de slip mighty slick, didn’t yo’?” “How do you know I did?” ••Send yo’ do’t” “You saw mo! Where wore you at the time I came out the window?” “Btandin back and bosaiu de job.” “What brought you hero at this laU tour of the night?” “I come wid Miss Esther.She warn*! ¦feard, but I Fought I’d better look after her ’cause sha am younger dan me, yo’ know.” “And what made Miss Esther leav# her home at so late an hour?” “ Y’o’ see.do colchel coined home last night wid de news dat do folks had yo’ F-iir Warning Visitor—“D es the troll»y line lead to the cemetery?' Citizen—“Yes, if one isn’t very careful.” Thirty seven members of the Imperial IE use of Commons have died in fo* r years.Nothing so helps a pap*r as the imparting of useful information.* Ho r shall Ikaep the flies out of the sugar bowl?" asks a correspondent.“Fill the sugar bowl with salt/' is our prompt i eply.iocaea up fur ho»s stsalin and dat dsy was gwine to hung yo* fur Ukiu hi* pet animal.De colonel was awful rumparageous and aware he hoped dey would bang yo’ if it was yo’ dat stole de chchtuut Lose, fur de colonel doan* •oem to hah much love fur a boh* Fitf.” “What did Misa Esther «ay ?” “She didn’t say nufliu, but cried kind ob quiftlike alter de colonel had gone gut ob do parlor.Den shetolerne when { he warn’t round dut 1 was to scorch hci i dut nigiit from her home to a f-artin : place dat she didn't name.So we coma j down, and w ben she found out wbar dey was fatteniu yo* up so dat yo* wo .Id | be fit to jtill in de mawnin she mads I me stand hack ont ob de way while she I slipped up and i o de winder and d*n ! slipped off ag’in jew’ afore yo’ fell out ou de ground.” The meaning of all this was apparent.Miss Esther Manaley, if not engaged in marriage to the conscienceless Henry Beyer, loved him debpits Li* worthlessness and fhs fact that he ha*, itok-a a valuable b« r*e belonging to her father, it was that feeling which caused her to make her way stealthily to the inn late at night under the escort of her faithful servant and to release-toe, be-• lieving I was her lover.The act was womanlike, and who shall blame her therefor, even though she knew the un-worthincFS of tho miscreant that had won her affection?But after all Iliad nothing to do with this phase < f the business.So far as I wuh concerned tho young woman had builded better than she knew.I was breathing the free air of heaven and Ihould continue to do so or know tho reason why.“RastiiK, you say Miss Esther wishes me to run and it is the best thing for me to do, but did she aay in what direction?” “I s’poae from her obserwations dat she meant fur yo* to run to do debbil, which am do same as runnin like de old boy.” “But, not being acquainted with the country— What the mischief are you laughing at?” I angrily demanded as tho negro chuckled.“Marne Hank, yo’ jokin when yo’ say yo* doau’t know much ’bout dis ken-try.” It was a waste of the precious minutes to seek to convince Eraetus Brown of tho truth.1 appealed to his good opinion of himself.“What do yon advise?What direction is best for me to take?” “My advice am to head fur Noo Orleans and not stop runnin day or night till yo’ got dere.It am only free, four t’ousand miles, and I s’pose yo’ll got tired, but when yo’ arrove dere yo’ll bo safe and yo’ kin take a good, long rest.Mercy heben,” suddenly exclaimed the African, “did yo* hear dat?” It was a dismal, mournful sound that rose on the night air, coming from somo point apparently miles distant.1 took It for the cry of a wolf in some swamp or wood»-' and set it down as unworthy of attention at the time.Although I bad made my escape from the house, I was still near it.Cy Walters and Archie Hunter would not sit down and wait for daylight before making another move against mo, and unless morning fourni me several miles from that spot it would find me in imminent peril of being recaptured or shot down.Another fact was not to be forgotten.Although I had possession of an excellent revolver, only three chambers were loaded, and I was without an additional cartridge, for Jim Duugan when he relieved me of my weapon took good care, as I have related, to supply hvn 8t , Sherbrooke, P.oel greiwth nnel the peas remaining given until winter.The growth of the* Canaela.peas and buek-whe*at was so givat as to interfere with the gathering of winter apples.Field pe*as are considered among the be»st crops for winter cover at the Nebraska station, though most creeps make a rather small growth in the dry falls of that regiem.Crimson clemr is considered an ieleal cover crop whenwer it withstands the winter, though it eloes not thrive on hard, poorly tilleel se>il as well as many other crops.It is tvported by the New Jersey station as being hardy throughout the state ami evnsidereel much more economie*aI than city manure ns a nitrogenous fertilizer.It may be sown there from the middle of July to the middle of Septemb *r.According to the Delaware station, it is grown largely in the peach orchards of that state.It sends its roots to a depth of four feet even in hard soil, nourishes on poorer soil than rod clover and makes its growth during the fall, winter and spring, growing when wheat and even rye seem dormant, in spring tin* sod is plowed in such a way as to leave 111.ly of the clover heads above tlie soil to ripen and reseed the orchard.On poor soil cowpeas are somet’mes grown during snmni ! and nr- f tilowed by crimson clover sown in the pen vine iu August.T his practice is a*.so recom mended by the Virginia station.Crimson clover has not proved entirely hardy at the I "’ode Island.Michigan, New York star and New Hamp.diire stations and at the Canada experimental farms, mwl was not satisfactmy at the Nebraska station on account of dry weather in tin* fall.In the locality of the New York Cornell station crimson clover winter kills if sown too late About the middle of .July or 1st

fiat pea, although it has received attention from the agricultural prcM* both lu re and abroad.Theexjti iti ce of stations in diftcrent «écrions of the country bas bet n thus snmined up The California experiment station reports that the fiat pea maintains a heavy growth with very little moisture, keeping green all summer without irrigation Cattle and horses will eat the hay.but avoid the green vines Sheep and pigs eat it readily green Flat peas grow best on nplaud, sandy soils The North Carolina station reports that the flat pea requires three or more years to secure a stand, and then it is of no practical value for North Carolina •‘The fiat pea we place next toaachaline as the most loudly trumpeted swindle perpetrated upon the long suffering public iu recent years.” The Alabama station reports that flat peas grow eight to ten inches high the first year, withstand light frost, continuing to grow throughout the winter.Cows and horses crop the vines, especially before oth er plants have started.It is regarded as good a soil renovator as cowpeas The Nebraska station reports that this fodder plant appears to be too tender to stand ordinary treatment and does not recommend it The Utah station reports that Lathy-rus sylvestria dried up during the summer of 1893, although it remained green several weeks after the alfalfa plants growing with it were dead The Kansas station reports that young defiling plants of the fiat pea withstood the dr—'ght satisfactorily.At the Hatch station, Massachusetts, the Hat pea was cultivated for two years at considerable expense without securing any fodder In the Michigan experiment station report for 1895 it is stated that the flat pea had grown with fair success for several years, but the feeding tests showed that sheep and cows had a de cided distaste for the forage.Sheep confined on flat pea pasture lost weight, and cows fed in stable lost weight and diminished in production of milk and butter fat when cither green or ensilaged flat pea fodder was fed as a part of the ration.Dr F L*mison-S< rihner.in the report which furnishes these facts, does nut recommend the flat pea where the usual forage crops can bo grown He says the land should be prepared for receiving this crop the same as for wheat or corn, although it is claimed that the flat pea will grow in regions or in soils where these crops will not succeed The young plants usually come to the surface within thieo weeks from planting and during the first season make a small growth, 10 or 13 inches perhaps The land during this season should be kej»t free from weeds and the vines cultivated The second year the growth is more vigorous, and during the third year the plants attain their full size In the gulf states the vegetation is perennial, but in the latitude of Washington the plants die down in the winter, although they are quite resistant to frost and are slow iu starting in spring.Their heaviest growth appears to be during the months of July and August, and at this season the vines make a dense mat, completely covering the ground, often to the depth of three or four feet.This tangled massof vines is cut with difficulty and must be mown with a scythe or cut with a sickle.The vines, when cut, dry out readily, and the making of the hay is a simple matter How to Make Great Com Laud.The southern cowpeas in the north are of value only as a green fallow crop to turn under.They grow, even In thin soil, with much vigor and make a large crop to turn iind< r, growing in GO days, rooting very deep.We have dug out roots that went down In heavy clay two feet, and then there was more to follow after.The land should be made good and the peas—or rather beans, for beaus they are-should be drilled fairly well into the ground.Some put in a few oats, but whether this pays we have doubts, lliese peas should not be put in before June 1, when the soil Is both hot and fairly moist, but after this they will grow without much rain.They should not be allowed to get too ripe before turning under.Where land is very much run down it would be a good plan to turn them under in early September and work in a sowing of Canadian peas on the same ground the last ! of September -about the 20th—let them grow and He on the laud through the winter ns mulch, adding so many more roots, humus and fertility to the soil, and the following y»*ar it will

THE EXAMINEE, SEPTEMBER 8, 1899.Canada’s Eastern Exhibition A GRAND SUCCESS.EVERY DEPARTMENT FILLED TO OVERFLOW Thousands Visit the Fair.PREMIUMS AWARDED Fair Grounds, Friday noon.The weather this forenoon is much milder than on any day of the fair.The the attendance to day, it is expected, will be fully up to Friday of last year.A great many of city people are taking in the show to-day.The most of the stock will leave the grounds to-night and to morrow morning.A great many of the exhibitors of live stock go to Quebec and St.John, N.II Exhibition Grounds, Sept.7 The fourth day of the fair opened bright and clear.Ir was American visitors’ day, and the attendance of strangers from Uncle Sam’s domain was large indeed.Several special trains were run into the city, from outlying points and in every case the excursions weie well patroniz ed.The management should indeed feel elated over the fact that year after year they not only hold the same crowd from the United States, but ea^h succieUing year the numbers are increasing.This applies also to the other sections of the Province of Quebec.The aim of the management is to provide for the wants of their patrons in the best possible way, and that they succeed in this it is only necessary to point to the ever increasing numbers.Some fears were entertained that the «old snap of Tuesday would have the effect of reducing the attendance somewhat but last night at 6 o’clock when the figures were totaled up it was fou:.d that the Association was ahead about five hundred over that of the same date last year There must have been about sixteen thousand people that paid for admission up until six o’clock.This number of course does not include the attendance at the evening preformance, which also showed a marked increased, there being about on© thousand and more on the grand stand than at the first eyening per formance last yo*r, and the attendance at the grounds was also very much ahead.To-day the attendance was about the same as on Wednesday, the re being but little difference.The attendance on the grand stand was within three or four of the previous day.There is perhaps a slight falling off on the grand stand receipts to-night at the evening preformance, but there are more people on the grounds than last evening.Judging in the unfinished sections was completed this forenoon.One feature, and it is a very pltadng one, is the fact that the decision of ths Judges is taken without a grumble.We question if there is another exhibition that is more free from this than our own show.The dirvc tors make it a point to engage only the very best men in their several lines and the result is satisfaction.This fact is borne out by euteroourse with the exhibitors, and a remark was made to the president this morning by Mr.Baker,of Missi quoi large exhibitor, that ho was perfectly to fill the programme.Miss Burbank rode “Dynamo” and Prof.Edwards showed his educated horse Bonner, all of which w*s very good.Music was furnished by the bsiid of the 53rd Battalion.The fireworks were a most attractive feature of the evening performance and very attractive indeed, the set pieces being particularly good, the whole concluding with a repres.ntation of the bombardment of Samoa by the war vessels of Great Britain and the United States.The balloon ascension at night was a new and thrilling finale to the entertainment.As the great balloon shot up in the air fire works that were attached underneath were let < ff and made a pretty sight.The crowd then made for the main entrance to return home.Bull

the treatment accorded him, and that the whole staff seemed to have but one object in view, and that to treat the exhibitors in the best possible manner.It is very gratifying to the directors to hear such remarks, as it shows that their work is appreciated.Hon.John McIntosh, the president of the Association, takes interest in all mat ters affecting its welfare.As president he is not allotted to any particular section, but is to be found here, there, and everywhere, seeing that things are running smoothly.He is well known by all, and is highly respected for his genial and courteous manner.It would be dittkult to find a more thorough mamger than Mr.H.R.Fraser.He is a p.stmaster at organization, and every detail is so arranged that when the large concern starts it runs on with a smoothness than cannot be equalled anywhere.He is ably as sisted by an energetic directorate, who look after the various departments as signed them to the satisfaction of all.The office staff, Messrs.W.M.Tomlinson, E.G.Simpson, and F.Enright and other ausistants dt serve a special word of thanks for the manner they attended to the many wants of exhibitors and others.The press are indebted to the above gen tk men for the assistance rendered them in getting at the large prize list.Up until to-night no cases of pocket picking were reported at police headquarters.Every precaution was taken by the police department in protecting the interests of the citizens.The absence of any rowdyism or drunkeness must have impressed the strangers, and altogether it was indeed surprising to see such quietness prevail in such la ge crowds as were present to-day and Wednesday.Hon.Sydney Fisher, minister of agri culture, attended the fair, to-day, and was entertained the directors at luncheon.He occupied a seat in the gr«nd stand during the afternoon performance.The same specialty performance was gone through on the platform in front of the grand stand this afternon, and which was highly appreciated by the Inge aud fence.The double balloon ascension about six o'clock was a splendid one, and was taken part in by Jaca Eion and Mips May Jewel, of Sherbrooke.Tnis young has now made tine ascensions under the diretion cf Professor Wolcott, and she appears to have the nerve of an old hand at the business.The display of fireworks in the evening was a splendid one, and some fine figures were represented notably the grand ep.ctacular representation of the British and Americans at Samoa.The main building was filled from early morning until late at night by people taking in the various exhibits.The ladies lunch counter did a Urge business yesterday and to day, and when the proceeds are totalled up tonight it is expected that they will be larger than any previous year.The Concord, N.H., Band was in attendance as was also the 53 d Battalion Band, and Harmonie Band and fine music was rendered.NICOL^ CHEMICAL CANADA LID.have as usual an interesting exhibit of Copper ore, matte and various kinds of acids made from the ores,such as sulphetic extra concentrated and nitric.The ores are put through a burning process which produces the acids.The sulphuric acid is used largely in the manufacture of fertil izers which is composed of Tennesee phosphates, dissolved with sulphuric acid to which is added muriate c f potash and sulphate of ammonia.The two latter are In the crystal form and consequently give actual food to the plants.This is a Can adian Company, having several American shareholders, the president being Mr.W H.Nichols, of New York, where the head office is located, Mr.S L Spatford being générai manager of the work sat Capelbon Que.They have been engaged in the mai ufacture of complete fertil zers for the past ten years, and their trade increasing rapidly throughout the Eastern Townships and is extending largely into Ontario.The Company have been the means of distributing a very large amount of money throughout the Townships in wages and supplies, and it is to be hoped that they may have an increasing record of prosperity before them.GEO.GALE & SONS, WATERVILLE occupy a large space.Their exhibit consists of iron, brass it composite,enamelled white and blue.Some very rich designs are shown and one bedstead in particular calls for much comment.It is sold at $125 and is a very handsome piece of work.The firm is know all over the wc rid as makers of spring beds, and they have large factory in Birmingham, England, to supply the markets of the continent an 1 the colonies.Samples of their famous woven wire mattresses are also shown.Mr,

the rumble that causes drowsiness, it may be the long hours on duty, but in many cases, in my judgment, it is the failure of the employees to secure needed rest when they have the opportunity.During niy *20 years’ experience as a driver of the iron horse 1 knew of hundreds of severe wrecks due entirely to some one being ‘asleep on the post of duty.’ Even the responsibility imposed on the man would m.t have the effect cf causing him to keep awake.” The speaker was one of tlye oldest railroad engineers in the country, who.after 20 years in charge of the throttle of a locomotive, voluntarily resigned to seek other pursuits not so dangerous or exciting.A question or two about the old times put the ex-railroader in a talkative mood, and he continued: • But once in my railroad career del I turn my engine over to my fireman and go back to the caboose for a little rest, and the narrow escape that I then had from « severe wreck and the killing and wounding of hundreds of sleeping passengers taught me a lesson that was never forgotten.The incident occurred in Illinois in February, 1879.At that time I was running an engine pulling a last freight on the Illinois Central railroad.My fireman was a young man whom I had instructed in all that he know about railroading.My health was not of the best at that time, as I had been an annual victim of the ague that pervades southern Illinois, and my system was shattered from the ‘shakes.’ In addition there was some sickness among the members of my family, with tbe result that my nights at home would be broken up In looking after the comfort of the loved ones.Business on the railroad was brisk, mid there was a heavy passenger traffic due to the annual Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans.“On the night in question my train was running south.I had a 5'4 foot Rogers engine and was hauling 40 loaded ears.Along about 10 o’clock 1 found that 1 could hardly keep my eyes open.The road ahead of me was clear of trains for an hour or more.About the only thing of importunée in view was to meet ami pass the Chicago express at Makan-dn.which was 24 miles away.I then yielded to temptation.IMacing my fireman in charge of the throttle, with the head brnkemun to do the firing.1 went back to the caboose to secure a little rest.I should not have taken this step if I had not reposed every confidence *u my fireman.and I believed that he was thoroughly competent to run the engine.“How long 1 slept I do not know, but 1 awoke with the premonition that something was wrong As 1 regained my senses 1 realized by the swaying of the train that il was running much faster than it would have been had 1 been in charge of the throttle.There was a heavy down grade for five miles to the point where I was to meet the express, and my first thought was that we had struck the grade and gained the Impetus.“Springing to my feet, I hurried out the front door of the caboose and climbed to the top of the first freight car.The sight that met my eyes nearly paralyzed me.There m full view I saw the headlight of the heavily loaded express train waiting at Makanda for my train to take the sidetrack and permit it to pass.How l got over that train to my engine 1 hardly know.But 1 did.“Jumping down on the tender, 1 sprang into the cab, shut off the throttle and took other means to reduce the momentum.1 glanced at my fireman.He was sound asleep on the seat.The head brakeman kept him company on the other side.I realized that it was utterly impossible to stop the speed of the train, and I had visions of the awful wreck that would follow.My engine was making 45 miles an hour, being propellel by the heavily laden cars in the rear, and certain destruction seemed to face the express and the hundreds of sleeping passengers.“As the rules required that I should stop and, after the head brakeman had opened the switch, should pull by the passenger train there seemed to be no way to avert the disaster.All these thoughts flew through my brain in a twinkling, and as I expected to meet death at my post 1 wondered who would care for my two boys who would become orphans.“Fortunately the siding was u short one, and that fact, coupled with my reputation as a careful engineer, prevented the disaster at the critical moment and saved the lives of many.The engineer of the passenger train divined from the rumble made by my train that something causual had happened.He told me aft-«ivva'd that he knew 1 would not have : iuoached that meeting place at such a tato of speed if everything was all right.“When my train was about 300 yards from the express, l saw n man run from the engine of the express and throw the switch for me.At the same time 1 could see by the swinging of a lantern in the , i • r of the ex press that the switch at the j other end of the siding had also been i opened.The disaster had been averted, i My train dashed on t>* the sidetrack, past the expn- and then out on the main track again at the rate of 35 miles an hour, and 1 could not bring it to a standstill until 1 was more than two miles past I the station.j "You can imagine the effect upon the • express if the engineer had not acted ns he did.It is needless for the to add that during the remainder of my earcer on th# rail 1 never left my engine again in charge of that fireman or any other fireman.One such lesson was enough for me.“Naturally my fireman was much chagrined over his act, but 1 never had confidence in him afterward.He had been tried In the balance and found wanting.A tew years later he was promoted to be nu engineer and had been running his engine but a short time when it exploded, Killing him, his fireman and a brake-man.’ SLEEPING CAR otCREFS.A Porter Tells llo»« Home Employee* Make Money.One would think that the check systems of today afforded no chances for d.-honesty, but the system used by the i’uJlmuu company, which seems almost perfection itself, is defrauded by at least i oOtl.OOO annually.1 will endeavor to explain how it is done.Say.for instance, that a party of four bound for (Quebec should board the Rullinau sleeper which leaves this city nightly and wanted to pay cash fares.A I honest conductor and poite»# would “size them up,” and if they thought the puny “all right” the conductor would probably issue a pas-eiiger’s ticket, which would be tilled in and punched correctly, but would till in and punch the porter’s « lu ck to read, “One passenger, Spring- Id to ijucbee,” thereby pocketing three a res, or #7.50.This is divided equally between conductor and porter.No conductor can be dishonest without being delected by his porter, as the porter is supposed to turn in at his district otfice after each trip a check for every passenger that lias riddisi on his car.Then, again, a conductor who is a little (imid would till in and punch the porter’s check, “Four passengers, Springfield to Newport, Yt.,” as if they were not going : I, rough to Quebec, and the passengers' check, “Four passengers, Springfield to Quebec,” thereby stealing $4.So much for the sleeping curs.porters of the buffet cars are also “on the make.” Soups, sandwiches, poaches, bread and butter, tea, coffee, lemonade and many other dishes are generally expanded so that one order is served for iwo, two for four, and so on.Just from Boston to Mount Desert ferry I have known porters to reimburse their purses as much as #20 in this way.Their tips would probably not amount to a fifth of this amount.All of these forms of dishonesty do not go on forever, however, as sooner or later you have stolen from an unknown I’ull-man “spotter.” There is a 'small army of men and women riding about the country in the interest of this company.Their duty is not only to detect dishonesty, but incompeteucy and inattention; consequently every porter and conductor has his eye open and is constantly doing his best, regardless of tips, for fear that a “spotter might be on.” The wages paid porters range from #15 to $40 a month.On a popular sleeping car line, such as the noted Bar Harbor express, u porter receives but $15 a mouth, but I would prefer that salary in preference to any $50 position that could be offered me.It is worth double the amount at times.The porters of such sleeping car lines as Springfield to Levis and Montreal, Boston to Levis and Montreal, Boston to Bangor and many other lines, pay #20 a month.The tips on these lines are also good at times.Buffet car porters generally receive a salary of $25 a month, which in most cases should be banked, as the tips in these cars are generally sufficient to pay a considerate man’s expenses.The high est wages paid a Pullman porter is $40 f inon'’1 These positions are termed “perler ^ charge,” as the porter performs the duties of both conductor and porter.These positions are seldom given.—“A Pullman Porter” in Springfield Republican._ A Louie Sentence.The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian province of Syracuse, recently pronounced a sentence w hich is declared to have no parallel in the judicial annals of Italy, as it has probably none in those of any other country.A man named Lupo Salvatore of Co-miso had passed himself off as an advocate and had with consummate skill committed 03 different arts of serious fraud, in which he succeeded in using the machinery of the law.He had forged the signatures of the president and judges of the high court, of the king’s procurator and of the chancellor of the coqrt.From this last mentioned official he had even, with splendid audacity, stolen for a short time the seal of the chancery, which he needed to give effect to his fraudulent documents.The sentence is even more remarkable than the crime.Salvatore was condemned to three years' imprisonment on each of the 63 cases, which brings the total of the sentence to 1S9 years, though the longest incarceration which the convict can be legally made to undergo is 30 years.The penalty inflicted is in each ease the minimum for the offense.Had the court decided upon the maxiiyum, w hich is ten years, the aggregate term of imprisonment would have been 630 years.W.C.T.U AND HOME DEPARTMENT.KlJlTfel» BY

cook.She has stolen my purse.” This he directed to the chief of police.The valet appeared and while waiting for his master to finish writing picked up something lying under the table.As he took the note ho said: “Monsieur, here is your purse.I found it under the table.” “Ah, just in time.Give me the note, Jean.” He hurriedly added the postscript: “1 have found my pur^e.It is unnecessary to send

leaving his station only twire a day.like other fowl, and having his food brought to him.His friends had at last to watch a proper opportunity to throw out the eggs and put some young chickens in their place.Then the old man, satisfied that he had accomplished his task, went about clucking and strutting in the midst of his brood.The Three of Them.“No\w boys,” said the Sunday school teacher,

International Court of Arbitration may be gathered from the fact that already nearly a hundred disputes between nations have been settled by arbitration, and that there is no instance of two nations who have referred their disputes to arbitration failing to obtain satisfaction or finally appealing to arms.If so much could be done with the aid of public opinion while the war S' ntiment was so strong, we may reasonably cone lode that more might be done when a court existed which was created by the Powers of the world, and which enjoyed therefore a unique status and ii fluence.The kingdom of Heaven cometh not with observation.A London editor sent word to the Hngue to greatly abridge the reports of the Peace Conference.“No one in London,” he said, “cares for anything but tha news from the Transvaal and the latest scores t f the cricket match with the Australians.” Yet, the Peace Congress of the four and twenty nations is the most significant event of the close of the century.“If, twelve months ago” says Mr Stead, “any one had predicted tha" the representatives of all the governments W( u d be employed for two mon'hs in elaborating a court and code f< r the univers d establishment of a system of arbitration among nations, he would have be* n derided as the idlest of dreamers.But this strange thing has come to pas- before our eyes.WISE WOVEN.A shadow darkened the

the obscurity unless tho men camo directly upon me.It was already established that thero bad been but one bloodhound cn my trail, and ho being disposed of nothing more was to bo dreadt d from his species.Naturally I made an abrupt change in my co s Boon as I was fairly in tho wood.I moved to the loft, considerably slowing my gait, with a view of suppressing every sound of my move-n ents.It was impossible to do more than partly to succeed, for tho bushes tor- •«sîr,— &Mwk mMia U ‘j .Sj’iv / paused and listened.and vines were so intricate that no one other than an American Indian could have advanced without noise, and the sound of tho eager fm [steps almost cu my heel?- kept me gojug when I ought to have been still.1 had traversed less than 50 yards in this manner when 1 paused and listened for evidence of my pursuers, but the itilluess of the swamp whs profound.Probably they had stopped with tho ¦amo object.At any rate they did not know exactly where I was, and I determined not to give up the advantage.The uueufiy feeling, however, which came with the certainty that they were close at hand led me to edge farther off, doing so with such stealthy care that I was sure of not betraying myself.My progress cf necessity was slow, but still it was progress, and that was a consolation.Suddenly I felt a cold sensation in tho foot which I thrust forward, as with Lowed head I parted the bushes in front so as to admit of my noiseless advance.Tho cause of the chill was apparent.I had placed my foot in water that came over the shoo top.fcdnce, however, the thing could not be helped and the foot ¦eemed to rest on firm support I did not withdraw it.Still leaning over I advanced the other foot and was startled to find the water reach half way to my knee.“This won’t do,” I reflected as I w ithdrew.“By and by I shall be swimming.’' That such was the fact became apparent the next moment, when I per-ceived with the aid of the star gif am that I whs standing on the edge of a stream of water whose depth, I had already found, rapidly increased from the chore.It was easy to distinguish the other bank, which was hardly 20 feet awav.I had come to the side of a creek PUFFS OF

for that.My a verni on f> swimming the stream, however, was intense.The water was chilly, and I should be excessively uncomfortable in my saturated and draggled clothing.Some other meant of ferryiug the creek in u »r be found.Meanwhile 1 did not forget my pur-smrs, who were undoubtedly picking their way through the wood much ueui r me than w’as pleasant.Bocuut»e of this tear I began stealing along the bank of the dark stream in the weak b' ’ e of finding a favorable place for •rowing, though sensible at the naiue time of tha absurdity of tha exusetutiok.•‘by gracious, but that’s lucky!** I exclaimed within the following ten minutes an I halted at the base of a thick cypress, as I judged it to be, which, starting on tho edge of tin* creek just Ufore me, grew’ straight toward tho other bank, hs if nature bad set out with tho purpose of forming a footbridge, hut changed hor mind just before reaching tho farther shore, and, curving upward gradually,.attained tlio pcrpendicul.r.Thus the Ar t twenty odd foot of tho trunk took tho f rm of a bow, after which the course was as verticul as U at of a mountain pine.“I couldn’t ask for a better bridge," was my conclusion after a brief study cf the course cf the vegetable crank in front of me.Being without any luggage, my limbs wero free, and, hesitating only long enough to make sure cf my bearings, 1 carefully cl imbed upon tho trunk, which was almost horizontal, with a diameter of nearly two fret.No limbs appeared until at the point farthest from the bank which I was leaving—that is.where the trunk began curving upward toward the perpendicular.Thero a bifurcation took place, the tree dividing as near as may he into halves, each of which again subdivided until the small er limbs and branches W’cre numberless.I regarded this conformation as fortunate, since it offered a good support from which to leap to tho shore that was not distant.With so broad a base and the firm, shaggy bark upon W’bich to rest my feet, it ought to have been easy to traverse the brief distance upright I should have done *o had the sun been shining; but, as it was, I began creeping forward on my hands and knees, ready for any treachery in my bridge.I had not gone half the distance when a shiver of fright passed through me at the reflection that I was repeating in a small way the experience of a few minutes before.In other words, I had advanced into the open, where I was in view of my pursuers if they should happen to reach the stream anywhere near where I did.Had this thought occurred to me before setting ont I should have delayed my action until there was mora assurance on that point, but it was too late to turn back, and with more nervousness than I had felt since starting on my flight I hurriedly crept along the trunk, not pausing until I reached i :• first forking.Tho vast relief of this situation win be understood when it is stated tbut j.gave me tho benefit of tho sLudov/ i > » by the branches above as well as 1 , those on the shore.TboJki was Hi starlight, but it was mighty comfortable to know that at that moment uom of it reached mo.Clasping ono arm about the largo limb for steadiness, i rose to the upright posture, socloso now to the farther bank that it was an shhj leap to reach it.Standing thus, securo for tha moment from detection, I turned my head and peered into the darkness W'hictf had just been placed behind me.“I’ve been mighty lucky so far,*’ I muttered.“I shouldn’t be surprised if those three fellows wore near the base of that tree"— By heavens, I was right! The thought bad hardly time to frame itself when the crackling of a twig told tkat my pursuers had reached the very spot.Had there been any doubt of the fact it was removed by a voiceNvhich 1 recognized ha that cf the grim and terrible Cy Walters: “Ho was heading this way when we last heerd him." His gruff tones w’ere in so low a key that but for the profound stillness I should not have caught the words.Although aware of the oxaot point whence tho souud issued, I could nut see him nur either of his companions.“I wonder if ho crossed on that tret, " remarked another, though I was not sufficiently familiar with the Voice to identify the speaker.“It would be jmt liko him.Hank knows every turning ef the swamp." “And that’s jut-t why he wouldn’t climb over here," added Cy."Why not?" “ ’Oaiue ho knows ho wouldn’t gain i I nothing by it." “He’d gain as much as by going anywhere else." “A couple of us oughter foller aud find out," observed a man who, I suspected, whs tho owner of the defunct bloodhound, a suüpb inn that was confirmed by bis addendum: “I’d rather he’d stole all the horses in Mississippi thon to shoot Victor.Hank Brycr has got to settle with me for that." “If you wanter, yon kin follor him over that tree,’’said Cy.“It may bo Hank was fool enough to try it, but Archie and me will push things on this side of the creek.’’ “It’s a good idee anyway for us to divide.Some ono will be *ure to run ng’in the scamp and have it out with him." Aud with this reasonable remark tho owm r of the lamented dog Btepped upon the horizontal trunk and began moving toward me, crouching among the limbs a few paces away, wbh the immovable conviction that matters were growing uore interesting with each passing IB inn** RAINIEST 8E \SON ON EARTH.Cherrspunj’, in Assam, northeast of Calcutta, has the reputation of being the wettest place in the earth, the average annQal rainfall being 403 15 inches,while it has the record o?one month in which 147 17 inches fell.This year seems b^und to beat all previous records,267 84 inches of rain having fallen between January Ht a 4 hemidd eif June, five months and • half, while 73.79 inches, over six inches of water fell In a single week.Whew Trempa Wrra taaleea."You may have heard this story ba» fore,” said one of the delegates to the whist congress at the Auditorium yesterday, “but do you know that there was once a man who got all 13 trumps and yet succeeded in taking only oue trick r “Oh.pshaw!" exclaimed another expert.“that’s Impossible.It wouldn’t make any difference how poor a player he was he couldn't help taking all the tricks If he had all the trumps" “Nevertheless, it's a fact that one trick was all he took." “Well, will you please explain how such a thing could happen?" “He trumped his partner’s ace on the first lead and was Immediately thrown out of the window."—Chicago Times* Herald.A Sllulit Difference.The Jay—Whatcher sayin “Lookout!" for?The Kid—I didn’t say “Lookout!” 1 said “Watch out!"—New York Journal.I’nworthy of Her Love."To prove my love," he cried desperately, "let me tell you during how ninny weeks I have scarcely closed my eyes In sleep, during how many days I have eaten only"— Here, with an imperious gesture, she waved him to silence."Statistics prove nothing!” she said.Ah.but what a cold dictum!
