Wouldn't Find Any.?A few weeks ago, a jockey, a native of Erin's Isle, was called as a witness in a trial, and the opposing counsel was doing all he could to invalidate his testimony. "What are you ?" he began, in a bullying tone. "Sure, I'm a jockey, same as my father was before me," was the reply. "Ah!" said the lawyer, thrusting his hands into his pockets, and preparing to enjoy himself hugely with this witness, "and I supp'ose your father did a little cheating in his time, like the rest of the fraternity ?" "Troth, and I s'pose he did, now and thin," was the reply. "And where do you suppose he is now ?" "In heaven, I hope?rest his sowl !" "And what should such fellows as jockeys do there, I should like to know ?" inquired the. lawyer, in a voice of thunder. Paddy scratched his head. Then, with a sly grin, he replied : "Train hosses for the angels, perhaps." "And cheat them as they did their fellow mortals?" "Maybe so," replied the jockey, still uu. abashed. "Ah ! they would be prosecuted then!" exclaimed the lawyer, triumphantly. "Sorra a bit," answered the witness. "And why ?" "Because they might search heaven over and over again, and a divil a lawyer would they find there!" A shout of laughter hailed this retort, which the court could not suppress. "You can step down, fellow," said the lawyer, growing as red as a peony; and it was noticed that during the remainder of the case t{iat his cross-examination was scarcely so keen as usual. His Last Speech.?There are a number of middle-aged gentlemen, who, thinking themselves endowed by nature with oratorical ability, visit Sunday-schools to display their speeeh-making qualities. These gentlemen are very properly called Sunday-school bores, for they bore the children, bore tbe superintendent, bore the teachers, and bore every person with whom they are thrown in contact. One of the gentry had a round of four or five schools, which he visited regularly, and as regularly bored his hearers, ending invariably with "Amen!" Visiting one of the schools during Jus regular rounds, he made his appearance at the desk of the superintendent, who felt greatly annoyed, yet, out of courtesy, asked him if he desired to say a few words. "Yes, I'll just say a word or two," and straightening himself up, with one hand on the corner of the desk, and with the other feeling for pins at the bottom of his vest, he began: "Well, children, the superintendent wants me to speak to you," and feeling vigorously for the pins, "now, what shall I say, what shall I talk about?" * 114 * 1 ~ /V.11 ami ?*K/mi A vo aT o rrd A ungut lime icnuw uuuui -z jtma ?i ?bv, sittiDg in the front seat, who evidently had heard the orator before, jumped to his feet and called out: "Thay 'Amen J'and thit down !" The speaker collapsed. The Postmaster's Joke.?A few days ago the assistant postmaster of Port Chester, Penn., suspected the carriers of having stolen some oranges he had in the office, according to a local paper. So he bought another stock, and asked a neighboring druggist to inject into them some drug that would make the tbeives sick but not injure them. The druggist injected water, and then informed the carriers. They of course stole the oranges, and wheu the owner entered the office he found them all very sick. In a little while they were writhing on the! floor. Then the joker thought the drug- j gist had made a mistake, aud ran to him for j a prescription. He prescribed brandy, and it! took $5 worth to relieve them of their pain. I Some of them got a little overcured .by) the medicine, or on the other side of a normal condition ; but they enjoyed their superior's joke all the same. It Didn't "Take."?During a recent discussion on the subject of vaccination, when its supporters aud opponents had fairly exhausted their argumeuts, one of the company, who had not hitherto spoken, volunteered his opinion, that, far from being a benefit ij the human race, the precaution was both dangerous and unnecessary. "I will give you a proof," lie said. "The son of a friend of mine, as healthy a little fellow as you would wish to see, was vaccinated by the advice of an idiotic medical man who attended the family, and what was the consequence ? He died two days after | the operation." Here the speaker paused for a moment, evidently gratified by the impression he bad made on his bearers. "Yes, gentlemen," be continued, "the poor lad, who was as active as a squirrel, was in the act of climbing a tree, when, a ; branch giving way, he lost his hold and was i killed by the fall. Don't talk to me of vac-1 cination after that." A Narrow Escape.?During a recent session of a West Virginia court, a darky was tried for cutting a white man with a razor. His counsel wanted to prove that j the white man was the aggressor, aud that | the darky was physically unable to defend j himself without a weapon. Being duly sworn, "Uncle Jim" was ask- j ed whether he had ever been injured in any way. "Yes, sah." "Tell the jury all about it." "Well, sah, it was down in Chat'noogy. I'se a-wukkin' down dab, an' I done fell off'n a derrick?fell 60 feet. I broke dis hyah laig, an' I fractured dis hyah arm in two places, an' I knocked out dera two teef, an' my collah-bone was broke, an' I had three ribs busted ; dis hyah year was tore off, an' hatter be sewed on again ; an' de fac' is, gent'men, efit hadn't been for a pile o' bricks dat sort o' broke my fall, I'd a been liable to be hurt serious." Selling Off. ?A shopkeeper finding that ladies were most ready to enter where sales were going on, stuck his windows all over with the announcement: "Seiling off. No reasonable offer refused. Must close on Saturday !" On one occasion he was questioned by a creditor as to his threatened departure. "You are about to remove, are you not?'" "No, sir." "Why, you wrote up, 'Selling off' on your shop." "Every shop-keeper is selling off." "You say, 'No reasonable offer refused.' " "Well, I should ve very unreasonable if I did refuse such offers.""But you say, 'Must close on Saturday.'" ' "To tie sure. - You would not lmve me I open on Sunday, would you ?" Borhif.'s Prayer.?'The diiuister of a prominent church, who was about to leave homo for a few days, was bidding good-bye to his family. When he came to Bobbie, he look the little fellow in his arms and said : "Well, Bobbie, I want you to be a good boy and take good care of tnanunu." Bobbie promised, and the father departed, leaving him with a very large appreciation ?-- ' of his weighty responsibility. When night came, and he was called to say his prayers the young guardian expressed himself as follows: "Oh Lord, please protect papa, and Brother Dick und Sister Alice, and Aunt Mary, and all the little Jones boys and Bobbie. But you needn't trouble about tnainma for I'm going to look after her myself." He Gave Himself Away.?She never knew he was only a waiter, for he had basely told her that he was a gentleman of independent means. One hot day they were sitting in Central Park. He felt very drowsy ; she felt very loving. "John," she whispered, "do you love me?"' "Eh ? What?" opening his eyes; "love you? Of course I do, darling!" aud again his eyes closed. "How much ?" she asked ; and he dreamily said : "Boas' beef, fifteen ; coffee, five; pie, five; twenty-five cents, please." His itead dropped, and he began to snore, while she stole away muttering, "Ugh! a common waiter, as I'm alive." An Irishman, having been arraigned and convicted upon full and unmistakable evidence of some flagrant misdemeanor, being asked by the judge if he had anything to say for himself, replied, with the characteristic humor of his country, "Never a single word, your honor! And it's my raal opiuion there's been a great deal too much said as it is." ItJawsidc #Hthevitt0S.

A South Carolina Factory In Operation?AVhat a Sensible Furmer Says. To the Editor of The Cotton Plant: Four pounds of honest white and clean cotton for one pound of lathery, painted cheese. It takes about two acres of fine land, four hundred pounds of fertilizer, bagging and ties, toll, lots of hard work to produce one bale of cotton. The same land planted to cheese will produce at least 500 pounds of honest milk cheese, that is cheese that is made from nin-fi cows milk, cream and all together; This cheese will not bound about like a piece of rubber; it melts and crumbles in a manner to be readily distinguished from the common compressed sold 011 our market as cream cheese. What makes this vast difference in products? Can't good cheese be made in South Carolina, if not, why not? These rambling thoughts led the writer to iuspect the new cheese factory at Clemson college, where there is a nice outfit of improved appliances for making cheese, now in successful operation by Prof. Hart, who has demonstrated the fact that as fine cheese as can he produced in this country can be made in South Carolina. The flavor is really superior, and its rich nutty cheese flavor at once sharpens the appetite and calls for more certified honest cheese. While eating this South Carolina cheese our minds does not roam from the crude oil tank under the Southern cotton seed oil mill to the dead hog, horse and cow rendering vats of the West. Our miud while eating this South Carolina cheese wanders over the hills and valleys of Soutli Carolina, along the banks Tjftdfean, clear water that flows through the meadows; and its honest flavor reminds us of fragrant flowers and new mown hay. After eating honest cheese one can sleep and dream of the clean things, (the Switzerland milk maid, for instance) and rest in confidence; but when his stomach is loaded with chunks of the indigestible compound called cheese, he is compelled to kick and roll around at night, dreaming of running from vicious bulls and such. We learn that it takes about one gallon of milk to produce one pound of cheese and the 1 ntinoan fantnru noail nnf. ortlt. COS I Ui tt DLuan viiwww ifvvv. J 4.w? ..WW www more than an improved cottou ginning plant; in fact it seems that these two plants might be run by the same power as the cheese making season is about over with when the cottou ginning season commences. What is the use of shipping cotton seed oil to the West to be compounded into cheese, and pay freight both ways if this market really demands this compound? Why not send West or East for one carload of improved machinery for a cheese factory, instead ol shipping thousands of carloads of cheese. This freight alone would be a good profit. The only thing that is not at our hand for making'fine cheese is good cheese-makers, good, industrious, intelligent, honest and well-trained, educated young men suited to take charge of all such enterprises, are the scarcest article in South Carolina. And just here we ought to give the board of trustees of Clemson college due credit for their wisdoiniri^ietting up a cheese making plant at Clemson college where our boys may learn cheese making. Prof. Hart in his forthcoming report on cheese making in South Carolina, will tell give the farmers a complete outline of making cheese, the cost, etc.} and the best of all he will tell the farmer how to make a small amount of cheese at home, with the outlay of only about $2 for necessary machinery which will be far ahead of the old plan of grandma's cheese press. Now don't all of you readers write to Prof. Hart for a letter- on cheese making for the man cau't spare the time from his work to write eft monv Mfprs ? lint Rverv lndv can write J ? - * - to the director (President Craighead), for a copy of the report of the Experiment station on cheese making, which will be published probably soon. As to the cost of producing milk for making the cheese, every farmer ought to be able to make his own figures. But oneol the more striking features in the change from cotton to cheese or butter is, that the fertilizer bill in cheese aud butter may be left out. The cow is the fertilizer factory, this-is located -home, on a cash basis, and the proceeds from this enterprise is coming in all along the whole season. There is no space of from 10 to 12 months in this kind of farming, which has a broad gap to be filled by liens and mortgages and interest. Another very great good foi everybody that is interested in our prosperity and the beautiful appearance of permanent improvement of the whole face of the country is the replacing of grass upon the naked and bare places; the soil will be preserved instead of being washed from the higher lands in the streams, thus doing damage, skinning the higher lauds and causing the streams to fill with sand and overflowing the bottom lands. Any farmei who has any thought can see how this cotton farming has ruined the whole coun try. It is not necessary to point out these things now, the five cents a pound will make everybody feel. I have cotton several years old and still have a good appetite and good home made cheese ; tastes as good as it did when I used to eat it in grandma'* days. J. C. Stribbling, Pendleton, S. C. Treatment for Fainting.?Althougl fainting is not common in children, younj girls may be subject to such attacks. Wher one faints, it is owing to a temporary weal action of the heart, so that sufficient blood i: not pumped.to the brain to maintain con sciousness. The face becomes very pale and .the extremities are cold. Usually al that is necessary is to place the person fla on her back, which will ease the action o the heart, while gravitation aids in restoring the proper amount of blood to the brain Never allow a fainting person to remain ii an upright position, as death has thus resulted from heart failure. Sprinkle a feu drops of cold water upon the face and cau tiously holding spirits of hartshorn undei the nose will aid, by reflex action, in re storing the functions of heart and brain Cold water should never be poured upon i fainting person, and everything beyond tin first shock is depressing and should hene< be avoided. Hints.?Coffee taken without sugar am cream is less likely to harm the partake: than when it has these ingredients added. When ironing have a small hoard sprinkled with salt, beside the ironing table and if tho iron becomes rough, rub it two o three times over the salt, and it should hi perfectly smooth again.

They cracked the crumbling bricks, broke the tiles on the roof, and tlew in through the windows, destroying window frames, shutters, furniture, and ceilings, making clouds of mortar, splinters of wood, and fragments of glass and earthenware fly about, whistling aud rebounding, hissing and screaming as if thirsty for human blood. The attack was fierce, but the defense was stubborn. The garrison of the old house consisted of about sixty veteran French soldiers. They were a detachment from the army commanded by General Hoche, who had been dispatched to the famous western province of La Vendee to put down the Royalist rebellion which raged there in the year 1794. rFl\ /vir V* rt /I t\oon enn t aii f 4/% n nAnn!WnMnkL. A ucj liUU ugcn OCIIW uui IV ? tuuaiuuiuuic distance from the main body of the Republican leader's forces, with orders to occupy a lone house which stood on a height overlooking a wide extent of country. They had barely reached the building, when they found themselves attacked by an overwhelming number of Royalists who burst suddenly upon them from a belt of woodland below, and opened a furious fire. The Republican troops hastily sought shelter within the house, which was au old and solid brick structure, They barricaded the doors, rushed to the windows, and vigorously returned thq shower of bullet? upon them by the assailants. From time to time a soldier shooting from the window would fall back on the floor. He would be dragged aside, and a comrade would press forward to take his place. Wounded men were staggering from room to room. Several already lay dead or dying. The enemy's line was drawing nearer and nearer. The captain of the besieged was in the topmost room of the house, where he directed the defense, launching out his commands like pistol-shots. He W?^ tall, thin, and austere-looking, with grizzled hair and beard. His appearance was a singular contrast to that of a bright faced young drummer beside him. The boy was only 14 years old, and this was the first fighting he had ever seen. It was only a few days since he had said good-by to his widowed mother in their little home in the Quartier Latin of Paris, and proudly marched along the street with his regiment. And now he has posted himself beside the captain, with pale cheeks, hut with eyes glittering with excitement, and not a trace of fear in his set face. He stood on tiptoe and peered out of the small upper window, heedless of the bullets that struck around him. He could see the rebels closing in on the house with triumphant yells that showed their belief that their prey was well within their grasp. They were advancing upon the front and upon both sides ; the back of the house look down upon a steep incline where the ground was so broken and rough that they did not attack it from that quarter. The captain's face, hitherto stern and uumoved, began to show signs of uneasiness as he saw the apparent hopelessness of the position. Was there no way to save the lives of the brave fellows entrusted to his command ? Suddenly as if a thought had struck him, he drew back from the window, and laid his hand somewhat roughly on the young drummer's shoulder. The boy looked up, and his glance met the 1 steru gray eyes of the captain fixed upon him with a gaze that seemed to penetrate his very soul. "Josef Barra !" The drummer put zns nana 10 ms cup m u military salute. 1 "Josef Barra, have you courage?" Josef's eyes flashed. 1 "Yes, my captain !" he said. 1 The officer led him from the room, and ! went to a window at the back of the house i "See, Josef," he said, quickly but caUnly-, i as he pointed out of the window, "take your drum, and slip out of the back entrance of the house; make your way down the hill, ! and into the woods beyond, then sound the ' 'advance' on your drum as loud as you can. ' The enemies will think that re-inforcements are coming up, and you may save the ' detachment. The boy's eyes flashed more brightly than ! ever now. He did not speak, but, buckling ! his drum to his side, he hurried down to the ! ground floor. A moment later, with a final ! "God help you," the captain had sent him > out by the door at the back of the house, ' which was closed and barricaded behind ' him. The captain returned to the upper win5 dows, and eagerly watched the boy flying down the descent. Would he reach the 51 woods unobserved by the enemy, or would '; they catch sight of him ? If they did, the stratagem would hardly succeed, even if J they did not finish the drummer's career ' with a ball from one of their muskets. 5 On and on the boy hurried, concealing himself as best he could, by taking advantage of the irregularities of the ground. 11 Breathlessly the captain watched him, all ; j heedless of the whistling and hissing of the i bullets in front of the house, the angry and > excited voices of the sergeants and eor I porals, the sharp cries of the wounded, the falling of mortar, the crashing of furniture. > The drummer-boy is far down the slope 1 now; he has nearly reached the shelter of f the woods. The captain measures with his f eye the distance still to be traversed. Two J minutes more, and One of the sergeants dashed into the room i and told him that the enemy, though they s had not ceased firing, were waving a white f cloth, to show that they demanded a sur-1 render. ' I "I)o not answer," ciied the captain, and ' he ran hastily down stairs to join his men. I The lower story was full of the wounded, 1! lying helpless on the floor, or supporting 2! themselves against the walls, which were 21 spattered and splashed with blood. Here and there was a corpse; smoke and dust covered everything. 1 "Courage, men!" called the captain, r "Keep your posts! Help is even now at hand !" , A feeble cheer broke out among the de, fenders, desperate as the case seemed. The r rebels had drawn nearer still. Their fierce u! faces could be seen through the smoke; : among the noise of firing could be heard a | their cries, calling on the besciged to surren | der and threatening massacre. ?"v?? - J The lire of the garrison slackened again,' e i and despair began to show itself upon their j faces. Already more than one window was j without defenders, and it was clear, that * til "?'i. in*- In-Ill iiioi-.li loiitrer.

And the poor fellow fell hack in a swoon. i*| The captain's straining ears had caught the same sound. A drum beat loud and t-*; clear, rose from the woods on the enemy's i flank. It was sounding the advance. "Help is near !" was the cry among tie defenders, and again their spirits rose. Every e | man who could stand made for the windows, 11 I and again a hot lire was poured forth on the e j rebels. 11 ! Signs of disorder was soon visible among ? ! the Itoyalist. The drum-beat had puzzled s and terrified them. It must mean that l'| Hoehe's troops were close at hand, though ? j they had believed him to be miles away. : s; The captain saw the enemy's doubt and ^ i hesitation, and feared that they might dis11 cover the trick he had played, though none of his own men had done so. He took a bold step. f "Open the doors!" was the sharp order, e The barricaded entrances were thrown v wide. it' "Charge! The enemy is in confusion, it and help is near!" was the next command, t, And the little band of soldiers dashed forth r, from the old house with a wild hurrah, and a1 fell upon the astonished foe with flushing e i bayonets and glancing swords, r-j That ended the Royalists'hesitation, Beit j wildered and panic-sticken, and believing r.: that resistance was useless, they lied right and left, turning in all directions, sinee they d knew not from which side to expect the next o attack. The handful of Republican,troops jf swept before them a force, four tines as a numerous as themselves, d The chase was not kept up very far, The enemy was soon so scattered that farther| pursuit was useless, and the victorious sol- t diers returned to the house which they had c so bravely defended, to hold it, according to their original orders, till the main division r of the army came up. i The captain now told his men the strata- ? gem which Josef Barra, the drummer-boy, had carried out so successfully. ? But where was Josef? He had not re- I turned to the house. His drum-beat was no longer to be heard. What had become 1 of him ? The captain's orders were to hold the po- r sition he occupied, and lie was bound to t obey them ; still he could not allow the boy, whose courage and skill had saved the detachment, to be lost or taken prisoner c without an efl'ort to help him. So strong, ^ indeed, were his feelings on this point that r he determined to go himself in quest of the brave young drummer. ' With half a dozen picked men he de-1 j scended the hill, following the path taken by Josef. He reached the wood, but noth- 1 ing was to be seen of the boy. "Presently, however, the sound of harsh voices reached the captain's ears. It came from a little distance to the left, and the officer, motioning his men to remain where they were, stole forward in that direction to reconnoiter. He had not gone very far when he saw before him, in an open glade of the wood, a sight that thrilled his heart. There was Josef, and around him was a group of rough-looking peasants?stragglers from the body of rebels who had been driven away from the house. In their random flight they had stumbled upon the boy as he was making his way back to his comrades, and they seemed as if they meant to vent upon him their rage at the defeat they had suffered. "Shout 'Long live the king,' boy!" the captaitj heard one of them say, pointing his long bayonet at Josef's body. "Never!" was the clear reply. "Long live the Republic !" The Royalist thrust savagely at the boy. At the same instant the captain reached the spot at a bound, and felled the murderer with a terrible sweep of his saber. He called loudly to his men, and the tramp of their feet was heard as they rushed through the wood. The rebels were again panicstricken at the sudden attack, and fled at their utmost speed. The captain turned to Josef, who had fullen under the thrust of the Royalist's bayonet. It was too late ! The life-blood was flowing fast from a fearful gash it*, his side. The captain knelt beside him, powerless to help the wounded boy, and the tears fell from his eyes, that had seen a score of battles un moved. < "Captain," said Josef, faintly, "do not | weep." i The veteran officer took ofriiis cap. "Josef Barra," said the rough old soldier, | "I am only a captain ; you are a hero." I ?_?_ j THE MISSING SIGNAL. ; "Hello, there, Clark!" As I spoke I stuck my head in at the window of a dingy little railway station. "Where hound, old chap ?" "Nowhere," said I. "Been trying to walk off the blues in this dead-and-alive hole! How on earth do you stand it?" "Oh, I've got used to it," returned my ! friend. "A man can get used to anything except hanging, you know. Come round [ and rest a bit, won't you?" "Don't mind if I do." I swung myself through the window into; the office and dropped into a chair which | Clark pushed toward me. He did not spenk | to me for a few moments, being occupied. j It was a very hot July night, and the spot, a small station called Cottonwood, on the j main line of the Santa Fe railway, in Cen- i tral Kansas. The place is now a thriving city, located j on the little Cottonwood river; but then itj was the dullest, dryest hole in which busi- j > ? e Av..f I ness ever neiu ine aijmvu iur u wuuic iwn,-. night. I watched my friend curiously for a few minutes, as with brisk, business-like dispatch, he moved about the hot little office, absorbed in his work. "Suspiciously warm, isn't it?" he snid. "I hear it thundering, loo. We'll get a storm before morning." "Lew," said I, without answering his phrophecy, "why do you stay out here? Why don't you go back to civilization ?" "Staying here is the very best way to win promotion : it will come in good time," he answered. "Besides, old fellow, this is not the worst place in all creation. I've had a pretty comfortable time, all considered, except about once." "Oh, then you really have had one adventure in the wilds of Kansas, have you ?" I asked. Clark laughed, and replied : "Hardly an adventure, though it makes my hair stand on end yet to think of it. "Let's have it." "Well," he said, "if you care to here my little experience, it was when I first came out here, three years ugo. They have made great improvements in things now, and we never get such orders as I got that night. It was a night very much such as this, warm, murky, with threatenings of a thunder-storm, and I was sitting in my office, wishing that No. 4. the east bound passenger train, due at Cottonwood at 11.20, would come along, and set me free for a while, when suddenjy I got orders to look out for a special. These orders ran like this : "'Morehouse extra west; engine 97 will run Emporia Junction to Phillips, regardless of No. 4, Nichols.' "It was almost time for No. 4 to run in. I knew I had not a moment to lose. I dashed the order down on paper and laid it in the open window, as I usually did, ready for Nichols, and hastily adjusted my semu| phore. Do you understand the semaphore ?" I shook my head. "Not very well, Lew." "Well, at that time, the signal for train orders was a green light. The semaphore was the signal machine, having two sides of white glass, and two of green, placed oppo-1 site. Ordinarily, the white light showed;! hut whenever I took an order, I had to turn | the semaohore one-?iuarter around, to make j it show the green light. I turned the tie-1 vice, which was operated inside the office,! then stuck my head out of the window, and glanced up at the light. It was hunting brightly; as I drew iny head back, several rain drops fell on my face, for a slight drizzle had just begun. "Phillips is what we call a blind siding; no line, simply a passing track for the trains, lying about half way between Emporia and Cottonwood. The special had no rights ugninst No. 4. except as an order gave litem. :?rTr~wjnr toTTm front Phillips to Newton, 4the east-bound train would have to side at | ['Cottonwood, and wait for it to pass. ' I was now ready, and when t took my \hend in at t ]'< '. window, I looked up at ielock on the opposite wall. It was jut* 11.20, and I heard the whistle of No. 4 at that instant, coming in right on time. I turned back to speak to Nichols, when to my intense surprise, the train slowed up a little; but did not stop ! Why, what on 'earth did Nichols mean by disregarding my jsignal? Nothing could stop him between j Cottonwood and Phillips unless I did it. j There would be a dreadful collision, and nobody knew how many lives would be lost, for j | my fault! "I tell vou rav hair stood un straight on i my head. I jumped through the window i like a madman, and rail out on the plat-I form, shouting at Nichols; but in vain. J I shouted again ; but of no more avail j ! than before ; the train began to move on. I I j darted along with it, caught the step-railing j of the smoker, got safely up, and tried to; catch the bell rope. But it was too high, I being held taut between the cars/ I climbed up on the brake-stnn', and hanging there, I' grasped the rope and rang a peal. "Nichols jumped on to the platform, raving fiercely at his engineer, asking what j was the matter. I was up to him in two seconds, crying out: "'What do you mean, Nichols? Why |didn't you mind my signal? Do you want! to run onto your death, and kill this load j of people?" " 'Why don't you show your signal then V' i lie demanded furiously. 'Where's your! light?' "'Where it out to be of course. Do you think I carry it in ' "I got so far, and then I nearly fainted on | the platform. The green light was out! "Nichols turned tome with another imprecation : "'You'll get reported for this, young man ! Yes, and fired out too, mighty quick, into the bargain. Stationmaster (Juan is on hoard my train, and we will see what he has o say about this business ! .Ionian, go and rail him !' "The engineer went after the stationnaster, while I stood leaning against the car learest me, absolutely too weak to stand done. '"What's all this, hoys?' asked Mr. Gunn, is he hastily came up. 'Don't you know letter than to he wasting time in this way?' "I pushed up to him, and began, breathessly : " 'I signaled to stop, sir, and Nichols paid 10 attention. You will meet a special be-ween this and Phillips and ' " 'If he signaled, where is his light, then ?' "It's out now, Mr. Gunn,' I said, in utter lespair; but I'm willing to swear that it vas burning bright when I turned the signal, lot five minutes ago.' " 'Jordan,' said Mr. Gunn to the engineer, go and bring that lanturn here, as quick as wu can.' "Jordan sprang up the post and put his land to the light. " 'Lor', sir, I can't take it down, now, it's o hot too be touched !' "Mr. Gunn smiled and nodded at tne, and md said : "You can come down, Jordan ; that's all ' wanted to know. Clark, you're all right;, f that burner is hot yet, it must have been turning very lately. Most likely the rain >ut it out. Get to your duty, Nichols !' "Standing, as I did, facing cast, one could iee two miles up the track, where the road jore north j and as I chanced to look up, I aw, far in the distance, the glowing headight of the special rushing down upon us. "'Don't stop to talk now, Mr. Gunn !' I tried, fairly trembling with terror. 'Look fonder!' " 'She'll be on to us in a minute more !' ihouted Nichols hoarsely. 'Run ! run ! make he siding in three seconds! Run Jordan, or your life!" "He jumped on his train. INIr. Gunn and ' stood on the platform, hardly drawing a ireath, while Jordan bounded to his place md dashed his lever backward. ' "They were only just in time. The men >n the special, supposing that we had obeytd orders, and that they had right of way o Newton, made no etlbrt to check their ipeed ; hut came rushing and panting down >11 us, shaking the earth and giving one ihrill shriek as they madly darted by. And STo. 4's last wheel had barely cleared the nain track when the wild engine thundered >ast, rattling and pacing like an enraged lemon. The precious cargo of human life vas safe by a hair's breadth. "'By the great Jchoshaphat! I wouldn't ike to see that repeated !' exclaimed Mr. Sunn, wiping the drops which poured like rain from his face. 'It make my blood run jold. Clark, we'll see that your semaphores have better covers to proieci meui nuiu rain hereafter.' "He was on the train before I had time to thank him for helping me out of a terrible Tix, and I went back into the office as weak as a cat. I've watched my lights since then, I'll tell you. But we have a much better system of train-dispatching and orders now. I don't think there will be any more lights missing at Cottonwood?not while I'm here, at least." -mr &AKIN15 POWDER Absolutely Pure.
