OgOQOOOOOOOGOOOpOOCOOOOGOO I UNDER THE DOCK. | O G o o O By John Milton Stoddard. O O O OOOOOCOSOOOOOOOGOOOCOOOCOO ~TT S the swift lake steamer /\ swung from her (lock at De. troit and? turning northward, began tli6 long trip to Mackinaw, I sat with a young man, a new acquaintance, on the promenade deck, and leisurely surveyed the long panor- 1 araic river-front of \he chief city of Michigan. The sun, already lialf-wny to the horizon, swam in a blue, autumnal haze, Its 6lanting beams gilding the tall buildings that broke thev skyline and blazing with blinding reflection from their counties windows. Tbe soft land-breeze brought faintly the roar of the streets to'Intermingle with the pulse-like beat of the machinery below us, and the whole scene was one- of such autumnal placidity and peace that I watched it )h dreamy silence until my companion spoke. "Do you see that buildjjlg over there?" he said, indicating | a tall structure at the water's, edge. "That Is / the Grand Trunk Elevator, and I never pass it without a phodder, for it marks the worst position .1 was" ever in." * . v. He paused, but,scenting,a,story, I begged him .to continue. x "Well," said he, "it was eight years ago. I was then a telegraph operator, and had the night trick In the\yard office at Detroit. I had come up a short time before^ from a littJe station In the country. " it was eany m iue spring that I was ordered to, 'Yd,' and the ice had begun to go down the river, but the. nights were still very cold. The old yard watchman , groaned mightily every evening about the delayed warm weather, but.he kept my stove hot, and as my duties were inside 1 cared little for the "temperature. My work was light, the city waft iiew to me, and I enjoying myself bng'ey s ly when I got into the trouble I'm going to tell you about "Just at sunrise on one particularly Chilly morning my telegraph-sounder becapje mute. It wouldn't respond to the key. An examination of the battery showed that the water in the cells had evaporated samuch that it did not touch the zincs, and so it gave no cir-> cuit. " "I rumaced through the cupboards and found a large empty bottle,?it was the only thing I could find to carry water in,?and went down my two pair of stairs to the tap from the city mains.. And I found the tap frozen tight. "Here was trouble. Water I must have, and that, quickly, for at six o'clock a dozen yard conductors bound for West Detroit' and the Junction would be clanging for 'orders, and the idea of depending upon a weak little relay to work with a' tired, nervous, and therefore easily ,angerod dispatcher was a far from agreeable one.-.1 considered for a moment, and the thought of the river came to. me. Going back upstairs, I secured some twine, and with that and the bottle, I made my way to the dock beside th{^t elevator yonder. "There I lowered the bottk? by the string to the water and tried to fill it, but it is not easy to dip up water in a slender-necked bottle which insists on staying upright when it should be tipwin T wntj lpnrrlnsr far out from i""? - o the edge of the dock, bobbing the bottle up and down, when my foot slipped, my hand lost its hold, and down I went, splash, into the icecold current of the Detroit River. And I could not swim. "Of course I sank deep and struggled wildly in the current. A few seconds later I came up gasping and choking, and as 1 throw my arms wildly about they struck something hard and solid. This I grasped. I sputtered desperately and choked, but clung to my support. and soon managed to catch my breath and tried to think of how to get back to my instrument. "To my surprise, I was in almost total darkness. I shouted, and the 'tones rang hollow aud confined. Groping about,?I found other supports similar to the one I was holding, and then the. horrible truth came to me. I was "under the (^ock. * * inninny*" ' "i reaiizcu my pusmuu msuiuu^. The wharf was faced with plank extending down under the surface, but not to the bottom, and the current had carried xne under the planking from 0111 side the wharf. To escape by diving would have been easy for an expert swimmer, but my only hope was that some one might come by before my numbed lingers relaxed their grasp. "The water was fearfully cold. Only my head and shoulders rose above it; below, it was nuinbiupf every nerve. Frantic with fear. I wrapped arms and legs desperately around the icy pile. Occasionally I shouted for help, but? unly the sullen crash of the icetioes replied. Once I heard the roar of a passenger-train speeding by. In imagination. ' saw the passengers in ?he warm coaches talking and laugh"iug. ".Willi my nearness to death came a ~?7rTi>rr v/ ^ / weak delirium. The darkness under the wharf seemed inhabited by horrihie l'oruis. Swirling arms in the water tried to drag me down. Liquid voices of the current mocked at me and gurgled threats. When I screamed, the echoes scared me into silence, and the voices of the darkness and tlit current again redieulcd my dying. "Then my delirium changed, and I seemed to be mired in a swamp, hearing the call of the dinner-bell at home. In a voice that to me seemed thunderous, I shouted to let mother know where I was. The bell rang and rang. Again and again I shouted, until a response brought back my wandering senses. It was the old Irish watchman who called, t'Billy! Billy, boy! Are yez down there V "My answer sent him hurrying back across the tracks as fast as his years would allow. It was the bell of one of the yard engines I had heard. The crew had pulled up from the slip dock to get orders to the Junction, and they had rung the bell to let me know that I was wanted. Becoming impatient at mv ione delay, they started a search for ine, and fate led the old man to the dock. "How to get me out? Some men ran to the roundhouse for saws and axes, but the distance is considerable and moments were precious. The planking of the dock was of newly laid oak bolted to heavy stringers, and before the tools could have arrived and the thick wood been cut through I might lose my hold and sink. "Probably I must have been drowned but for a brakeman named Louis Calvert, a boy little older than myself. He had been bred in the lumber woods, and tiad sailed on the lakes, and railroading had made him fertile In expedients. He saw at once what to do,-1 and his plan was instantly accepted bv the other men. 'A short spur track runs' down to the river at this point and terminates In a large stop-block.

There was a rending sound,v<tTventy feet of plank rose in the air, swung round, and slewed across the dock in the wake Of the engine.

E. H. Cooper, in Cabell's Magazine, in an Illustrated article "On the Matterhorn," writes: "Among my most TreQuent climbing companions are children of ages'varying from six to sixteen. .They require attention on mountain heights?a good deal of attention. The usual nursery method of negotiating a mountain is to skip up the first quarter, run up the second, walk rather soberly up the next quarter and proceed for the rest of the way in tears. Their boots are hurting them horribly, their stocking suspen-. ders are broken and the stockings are coming down; they have got headaches and at every fresh step -buttons are flvinir oft' from all nar'.s of their cloth ing. The retnrn journey is mostly n matter of hiring guides witfi some of tljft hand-drawn sledges used by hill-1 side peasants to carry them ilown., But when these little folks have been'; trained to walk they are the most charming companions, and no.climbls so nice as one made in company wifli some happy crowd of small Alpinists with minature alpenstocks, ridiculously small nailed boots and a,, general capacity for. eating, climbing and laughing at anything. The guide who' comes with you is also happy, feeling that at any difficult place he has only to grasp several smail petticoats in one large hand, and at the worst can cany the whole party on one arm without serious difficulty. The average child is so serenely and perfectly happy climbing on the hills of Switzerland in a blaze of sun and the most perfect air of Europe that it seemB a pity children cannot come more often to share the holidays .of their elders." Tactics of Birds in Stormy Weather. During tremendous wind storms birds may sometimes be seen flying overhead at a great altitude. When this phenomenon is observed it may be taken for granted that the upper atmosphere is comparatively quiet and that the disturbance is confined chiefly to the lower regions. When a heavy wind or gale springs up, says Tearson's Weekly, the gulls, terns and petrels will fly to and fro over the water's surface, rising and falling; and uttering their peculiar 1 cries of warning. If the storm extends too high up they will drift gradually with the wind, or fly away on the edge of the hurricane. A young herring gull, a petrel or a tern thus surprised will beat up against the wind with powerful flight. It will rise high iu the air facing the gale and making a little progress forward as well as upward. Then it will <les<-end with ranid flislit toward ono side of the storm swept path, but fulling oft- at the same time iu the direction of the blowing wind. Once more it will sweep around and face the storm, ascending heavenward and strikingly desperately out toward the direction of the storm. By pursuing these tuctics the bird will gradually work itself to one side of the storm centre. ' ffhiit He Did.

If the cat tried any game with the sparrow, though wounded, could easily '.fly away. But a mouse cannot escape in that way, so the cat practices upon the unfortunate little animal a variety of Experiments In order to keep its powers as a hunter up to the mark. That is why it so frequently gives the mouse a chance of running away, and the harder the task it sets itself the more will its skill be improved.
