W I L D IU D E. . v i bo done!" "Wo'd be caught !" ??'ii bli yon now," and tho third nkor, who stood facing his two companions., boys of about his own ago, sloppod a littlo nearer aB ho spoko. Ho was a bright, alert boy of 10, Harry Denton by name, tho only sc:, cf a trusted engineer ou the W = and A. railroad. A born mcchnnio and mathematician, he was onsily tho best scholar in our school, whilo his open, gonorous nnturo and fear lessness mndo him the lender of tho village boys. His companions were Willis Dnlyn, a quiot, studious boy, tho only child of a widow whoso slender income baroly sufficed to pr?vido for tho two, and, with careful mnnngomont to give the boy such nu education as she wished him to have. Tho last of tho trio, and tho nar rator of this escapado, was called "Ned" llavilnnd. His special at tributes were a love for mechanics and an aptitude for getting into scrapes. . ' Tt was tho evening of Fast day, 1863, a timo when that day meant fnr more than it does in these times of poaco. A Sunday quiot was upon tho busy village, and only tho music of tho ohurch bolls could bo heard whero wc boys stood. Before thc civil war began, Stc vonton was ns dull a place ns could bo found in Now England, save for tho small repair shop? of tho W. and A. railroad, whioh wore located nt thnt pince, as it was midway between tho termini. There were excellent Water privileges, but the water pow er of Mill River was utilized by but ono small concern, a wooden mill that stood close to tho railroad shops. The war changed nil this. The railroad became a great transporta tion line, and the rolling stock and machine shops were more than tre bled within two years. A how com pany bought the mill, added build ings of brick and stone, and began tho manufacture of anny (doth. Its contract necessitated running the mills night and day, and a spee dy innovation of tho progressive management was a small gas works attached to tho mills. As thc rail road repair shops were often forced to run over time, arrangements were made to supply them with gas from the mill plant. At this timo many roads lighted their passenger ears with gas, which was stored in iron reservoirs beneath the cars. In the station platform were pits furnished with hoso for filling these holders. At Steventon tho road curves slightly to tho South, and nt this point a branch running Northwest connects tho main line with another village about eight miles np tho river. Near its intersection with the W. and A. road this branch crosses the tail race from tho mill and then tho river. An ingenious mechanic in the railroad machine shops had built for thc directors a dispatch ear pro pelled by a gas engine. It resem bled an ordinary platform ear, was about eighteen foot in length, and geared to one of its journals was an adaptation of thc Lenoir gas motor. In this engine a mixture of gas and atmospheric, air is admitted lo each sido of thc piston head alternately, and tho compound exploded at the right moment by an electric spark from a Rubmkorff coil. A two bar railing of gas pipe surrounded thc platform, willi an opening on one sido for ingress and egress. Near ono end, over the forward or driv ing wheels, were thc throttle and reversing levers. The brake was a steel collar, surrounding a cylinder on the main journal, and by means of a screw could bo tightened by turning an ordinary brake wheel. The car, though un (in ?shed as yet, had made several trial trips and had worked porfeotly, though tho buil der was not yet quito satisfied with some of its features. Now the proposition which had so startled Willis and mo was that we got this car out, lill its gas bolder, and take a vide up the brandi. Har ry had been on it several times and knew that bc could handle it. " N"P11 loll you bow," ho said, "and no ono will be caught, either. My koy unlocks tho shed where it is kept. "Wo will lay strips of board on tho rails so the wheels ' will make no sound, (ill tho holder, push the car up the branch line to tho bridge, and away we gol Wo can easily got back before the special, with the two regiments for Greenville, is due hore" Our objections were quickly over ruled, and with ono oyo upon tho watchman's lantern, which occasion? ally shone herc and there, as that official went his rounds in the rail road yard, wo proceeded to carry out our pinn. All wont smoothly, and in fifteen minutes we had filled tho holder, pushed tho ear to thc trestle over the race, and were rea dy to sot out. Wc took our places on tho plat form, and whoa tho watchman's lan tern again disappeared, Harry opened tho throttle. The steady but almost uoisoless beat of tho ongino followed and wo moved smoothly forward across tho trestle spanning tito race, along tho embankment beyond, and thou over tho trestle that crosses Mill Hiver. Two milos further wo passed a culvert, and, about tho samo distance boyond, a bridge over tho highway. Aftor crossing this Harry closed tho valve, and allowed tho ear to come to a standstill. "Now for a spin back," he said, and quickly roversing tho ongino, he opened the throttle again. There was a peculiar jumping motion as wo started, and Harry in some way lost his balance, fell forward and sidc wnvu nii/1 i>rj?'vvinof tho lover down with him, opened tho vnlvo to its fullest capacity. There was a sudden lurching for ward of the car, and in a moment the tremendous speed of tho engine added to tho force of gravitation for it was down grade now-sent us forward like an arrow. The air scorned to hiss past us, so great was our speed. Harry regained his feet at once, and called to me, "Ned, tho lever is bent over the guido rods. Help me stvalgh.toi! it." Hut evy efforts were useless. We only bent it in another place, while tho united strength of all three could not shut tho valve. "The brake, Ned," said Harry, and oatohit\ tlie wheel I gave it a quick turn, liven ns I saw how loosely it spun around, Harry exclaimed: "No lise. The collar is on Allen's hench. I saw it there this morning. We arc in for it, boys !" We were. Even while wc bad been making the discovery wo had reached thc high embankment near the river. A moment more and there was a Kur-r-r-r! as we sped over the trestle. A brief interval, scarcely noticeable, and a shorter Rur-v-v I sounded. Thc next in stance Steventon station and shops were before us, and on the platform, with lantern held above his head, stood the watchman. We had thrown surselves Hat upon tho Hoot', forward, before cross ing the bridges. The car swung round tho curve in safety, gained the main line, and sped on toward the next station of [Tanfield, a town of some importance twelve milos be low. Willis had not spoken since our mishap; ho now asked, in a voice so changed that I would never have known it, "Dont you think the watchman will telegraph them to sidetrack us at [Tanfield or do some thing for us ?" "Ho can't," said Harry. "Even if he could lind our operator, tho [tan field ofiico is closed, Don't worry boys," he added coolly; "we're all right if our engine only runs down before the special meets us." Oddly enough, I had forgotten the special train which was to bring twenty-two hundred recruits up to tho camp at Fairview,.< Harry spoke a chill crept ovc. mu and a horrible buzzing filled my ears, and then every sense was strained to catch some sign of the much dreaded train. Still our speed was undiminished. Wo sped through cuts and over bridges; past barns and patches of woodland; through fields and past quio! farm houses. On, on, on. "Hark!" called Harry, involunta rily, for we could not bo more quiet or alert, and then to our ears was borne tho sound of a distant whis tle. Thc special was coining. Again thc whistle sounded, nearer than before, and lo nie it seemed like a human shriek. In another moment we caught sight of a white light high above tho track. The Central Road crossed us herc at tho grade, and this was the signal to thc special train that our lino was open. And then to tho left of the track we discerned a lantern borne by a man who seemed to bc running toward us. But these sights were forgotten in an instant as tho glare of a loco motivo headlight burst full upon us lighting the rails ahead until they seemed like balls of fire. What my foci i tigs were i cannot tell; ? only know that I was power less to move hand or foot. 1 could only watch thc Haming meteor that neared us so rapidly. All nt once I saw a lantern swung aloft at our left, and thc man who hold it shouted something I could not make out. Then, at thc very moment that we seemed about to crash into the hissing monster be fore us, our car swerved violently lt) the left, while the two locomotives and tito long train of ears thundered by on the other side. A short distance we ran with ra pidly slackening speed, then left, the rails and, plunging into the sand, stopped short. 1 rolled Off under tho railing, and knew nothing moro until a man raised me to my feet and asked if I was burt. I soon recovered sufficiently to walk to the station, whither Harry had preceded me, while pOOl' Willis, who lay ns ono dead, was carried to the house of a physician m ar by, Thero was not a little oxoitouvont over our esoapnde, but it diod out tinnily) with no prosootcthuxs? It onmo out that tho vate Inn nu ut Stoventon h ml rightly guessed the trouble whoo wo sped by him, and had succeeded in fitting a telegram to Hanlicld just in time to save us. To stop tho special would bc of no usc, even if they could do so in time, which was doubtful, as it was in sight when the message was received. So a man was sont to shift us to tho sido track if possiblo, and this ho succeeded in doing, running us upon an uphill spur which led to a sand bank excavated by tho road. It was a long, limo before Willis could bc brought homo, so groat was tho shock to his nervous system. Ho nevor fully recovered, and died be fore ho had reached Ins twenty-third birthday. Harry suffered in no way from tho horrors of that night, and is now a well-known inventor and builder in tho groat West. As for myself, it was long before I could hear a locomotivo whistle without a nervous tremor. And even now, after tho lapse of a quar ter of a century, I sometimes awako at night with a start, for in my dream I have soon a locomotive head light glaring at me in menace-com ino- on ?.\vifOv as if to crush ?no lo death. My nerves still cherish the memory Of that hideous . adventure. - Youth** Companion, An Kditor Lifts a Mortgage. After much anxiety, and u great deal of hard work, tho editor of the Santa Anna, California, /Standard, has succeeded in lifting a mortgage from his ranche in Orangethorpe, and to-dify exults in the full owner ship of "sixty-one acres of as linc land as California boasts." New that thc heavy burdon has fallon from his weary shoulders he indul ges in tili? descriptive sketch of what a mortgage is like and "how thc old thing works" in many cases: "A mortgage is a queer institution. lt makes a man rustic and keeps him poor. It is a strong incentive to action, and a wholesome reminder of thc fleeting months and years. It is fully as symbolical in its meaning as tho hour-glass and scythe, that rep resent death. A mortgage also rep resents industry, because it is never idle and never rests. It is like a bosom friend, because the greater thc adversity tho closer it sticks to a fellow. It is like a brave soldier it never hesitates at charges nor fears to close in on tho enemy. It is like sand-bag of thc thug-silent in application, but deadly in its effect. Il is like thc baud of providence it spreads all over creation, and its intluence is everywhere visible. It is like tho grasp of a devil-fish-the longer it bolds thc greater its strength. It will exercise feeble energies and lend activity to a slug gish brain, but no matter how hard thc debtor works, thc mortgage works harder still. A mortgage is a good thing to have in thc family provided always it is in somebody else's family. It is like a boil-al ways a good thing on some other fellow. It makes one sour, cross, std tish, unsociable and miserable, and randy does him any good, except to exercise him. In that respect it is equal to Vigor of Life or the latest patent medicine. We've had our last one as far as wo know ourselves. Wo would rather have thc ague than have a mortgage. Adieu, old death pall, a fond adieu." Still After Mary's (Joat. Mary had a little lamb, its Heeco was white as snow ; it strayed away one summer day, whoro lambs should never go. Then Mary sat her down and tears streamed from her eyes; she never ?nind the lamb because she did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a vill age store ; ho sat down and smoked his pipe and wall bed tho open door. And as the people passed along and did not stop to buy, Joint still sat down and smoked his pipe and blink ed bis sleepy eye. And so the sher iff closed bim out, but still he lin gored near; ami Mary came to drop with him a sympathizing tear.

It is v.eM known that at tho Pore la Chaiso Cemetery, near Paris, thoro stands in a conspicuous position a splendid monument to Piorro Cabo chard, grocer, with a pathotio in scription, whioh closes thus: "His inconsolable widow dedicates (Iiis monument to Ids memory, and continues tito samo business nt tho old shop, .107 Kite Mouffctnrd." Now, a parisian papor relates that a short timo ago a gentleman, who had noticed the nbovo inscription, was led by curiosity to call nt tito address indicated. Having ex pressed his desire to soo the Widow Cabo chard, ho wns immediately ushered into the presence of a fashionably dressed and full-boarded mnn, who asked bim what was tho objoot of hi? visit. "I carno to soo tho Widow Cabo chard, sir." ?Well, air, herc she is." "I beg pardon, but I wish to soo tho lady in person," "Sir, I nm tho widow Cabochard." "1 don't exactly understand you. I allude to tito robot of tho lato Pierro Cabochard, whose monument I saw yesterday at tho Pero la Chaiso." "I soo, I seo," was tho smiling re joinder. "Allow nie to inform you that Pierro Cabochard is a myth, and therefore never had a wife, Tito tomb you admired cost me a good deni of money, and although no ono is buried there, it proves a iirst-olass advertisement, mid I have no causo lo regret the expense. Now, sir, what eau I sell you in tho wny of groceries ?" Hurrahed for Jeff. ?avis. WASHINGTON, July 20.-Assistant Secretary Hussey bas modified a for mer decision made by the then Com missioner of Pensions in tho case of Janies A. Purley, wito received a dis abling injury while serving in the Mexican War, in Company 6, Se cond P?uiisylv?iii?i Volunteers. Por this injury Purley was granted a pension of $8 per month, which he continued to draw until April 10, 18(53, when he was arrested at Ha gersten, Md., for hurrahing in the streets for J eli. Davis and the South ern Confederacy, and making use of other disloyal and treasonable senti ments. At that time his name was dropped from the pension rolls under tho authority conferred by tho Act of February 4, 1802. In 1871 an application for restoration was hied and rejected. In 1887, however, the case was ikon up by thc, then Com missioner of 1'onsions and, Fiirloy'a loyalty having been established, thc pension was allowed from 1871, the date of tiling Iiis application. Assis tant Secretary Hussey, while agree ing with tho former Commissioner as to Farley's right to a pension, linds no authority for dating it from the time the application was filed and directs that it bc dated from April 10, 1868, when it ceased. He says, in .substance, that if the action of dropping Fin-ley's name front tho rolls was erroneous, then ho is entitled to reparation and the reparation must bo as ample as tho injury. If it was not erroneous there can be no restoration of pen sion for any period. PIS O'S CURE FOR Piso'a Curo for Con sumption is nlso tho host Cough Medicine.
