ONE WOMAN'S TREACHERY.
A STORY OF A WHI8PER.
CHAPTER I.
"When the son sets, to-morrow, be at
the stile, by the cross-road."
The people were pouring out of St.
James' Church; the chief church of the
large town of Richborough. The organ?
ist was playing some pad, fitful chords,
something from the Messiah; and under
cover of their melting sweetness, the au?
dacious whisperer, a young and hand?
some man, had bent forward to make
this appintment
The two yonng ladies, to one of whom
he had spoken, were walking down the
. aisle side by side. Dorothy Stevens, for
whom the whisper was undoubtedly in?
tended, glanced up a mute look of assent
through her golden curls. But it
chanced that the other lady heard it too,
for her ears were subtle, and a dark
cloud drifted over, the sunshine of her
face; her little hand clenched itself spas?
modically under the rich lace of her
shawl. She fell back a step, and glanced
coldly into the gentleman's face. He
- was holding his hat in his gloved hand,
and he bowed ceremoniously as his eyes
met hers. At least, as ceremoniously as
one can bow, coming out of church.
"Good morning, Miss Lawrence," he
said, distantly; and just then they
emerged from the aisle to the .vestibule.
. Miss Lawrence held out a tiny hand,
which he could not do otherwise than
take.
He released it immediately, notwith
. standing her clinging touch, but the lit?
tle hand was not to be so repulsed. It
fluttered to his arm, and rested there,
just one finger being on the coat cuff.
" "There is such a throng," murmured
the lady in an entreating tone of apology;
and people never mind where they put
their feet I am sure my flounces will
be in rags."
Mr. Hastings perhaps anathematized
first the crowd and next the perishable
flounces; bnt what could he do, save
take the girl under his wing ? Dorothy
looked back, and saw him coming down
? the stcps'with the beautiful heiress hang?
ing on his arm in that frightened, ap?
pealing, clinging " manner, which she
knew 8.0 well how to put on. But Doro?
thy only smiled and nodded brightly;
she felt' perfectly secure in the love of
Dean Hastings, after that sweet whisper.
Each of these three people, when once
in the open air, went their way home?
ward in the mellow and bright October
sunshine. But not before Miss Lawrence
had detained Dean Hastings for a chat
"Are you particularly engaged this af?
ternoon, Mr. Hastings ?"
"Yes, I am. I am going out of town
at once to-see a sick friend, and shall not
be back before nine o'clock."
"Nine o'clock ?" she repeated, musing?
ly. "Well, that will be time enough.
Papa wishes to see you, if you can call."
4,But I?oh, very well," broke off Mr.
Hastings. "Tell him, if you please, that
I will endeavor to come."
Within the shade of her own chamber,
Annabella Lawrence threw off her hat,
.and grasped at the lace collar around her
throat as if it were choking her. She
paced np and down ; then, pausing before
the pier-glass, she bent forward, and
looked at. herself long and earnestly.
Her dark hair was silky, her black eyes
flashed fire.
"Youth and beauty will work wonders
for their possessor. But what have they
done for me ? They cannot win for me
the love I need; the love he gives to
that pale, spiritless working-girl. Ah!
it makes me sick to think of her! I
know he cares for her?and does he think
I do not see that he cares not for me ?
- It is her fault. But for her, he would
turn to me and love me. Oh, Dean,
? Dean, I love you I Why do you not see
it ?-ror do you see it, and yet will not re?
spond to it?"
She threw her arms np with a passion?
ate gesture of sorrow; and then bent her
head on her hands in pain.
"If T find?if I find," she resumed,
lifting her pale face, "that he cares for
her seriously?that he neglects me for
her, I swear that both shall suffer?he as
well as she. I?swear?it I"
Anything more vindictive than the
. tone of her emphatic words, than the ex?
pression of her pale face, was never seen
or heard. Bella Lawrence was not a girl
to be crossed lightly. Her face, suffi?
ciently beautiful when she was at rest or
in her tender moods^ was half diabolical
now. Her great, dark eyes flashed
fiercely, a hot flush burned on her soft,
round, olive cheeks, and through her full,
red lips her sharp-pointed, white teeth
gleamed craftily. It was no fable that
in her school days she had been nick?
named "the cat," and that her compan?
ions had given her full credit for all a
cat's spiteful nature when angered. She
and Dorothy Stevens had been educated
at the same school; the one was a rich
heiress, the other was to be,only a gov?
erness. Dora was in a family now, and
Miss Lawrence condescended to speak to
her now and then when they met.
Bella walked to the window and stood
looking thoughtfully out What a love?
ly scene it was I. The house stood on the
outskirts of the town; hill and vale lay
stretched out before her, and waving
woodlands tinted with autumn's unri?
valled colors. Along the line of the
river, spires and clustered chimneys
marked the site of her father's factories
?mile-stones on the road to wealth. "It
is all mine/' she murmured. "It will be
mine in time, and I would give it all to
him with this," lifting her hand. "I
would give it to him, and he rejects it."
Yes; if Miss Lawrence could read
signs, Dean Hastings would reject her
hand were it offered him. But she was
not sure; not quite. Again her quick
mood changed. The flash died oat of
her cheek, and tears crowded into her
proud, dark eyes. "Dean, Dean, I would
give you the tenderest, truest love a
woman ever proffered. Oh, why do you
despise it?"
And. yet, who was Dean Hastings?
Nobody. He was a gentleman by birth,
its true, but he had no means save what
he earned as one of the chief, clerks in
. this very factory?that of Lawrence and
Lawrence. His cousin was a baronet in
an adjoining country; and Dean was in
the best society that Richborough af?
forded.
"So absurd, so incongruous," thought
Bella, "for him to notice that stupid gov?
erness ! Who's that," she rather sharply
cried oat as a tap was heard at the door.
"Oh, what do you want Pauline ?"
The lunch waited. So Miss Lawrence
went down with fingers on her lip. Her
mind was hard at work.
Do you think the father of all wicked?
ness is in league with such of his chil?
dren as would forward his evil designs on
earth ? Does he make the way smooth
for them when they abandon themselves
to the working out of their fierce passions
of hatred and revenge? Oar forefathers
used to believe in these alliances of earth |
and the devil; and we are at times fain i
to believe that if the devil be not in
league against us, the good-angel who we
love to think watches over us is at times
far off?very, very far.
The clock was striking nine that night
when Dean Hastings was shown in.
Bella received him m a small favorite
apartment that she often sat in, and
liked best The fittings were of pink
silk and lace, the ornaments scattered
about it were- rarely beautiful. Mr.
Lawrence was out For that little com?
mand of her father's, transmitted to
Dean in the morning, had been an in?
vented fable of her own.
She held out her hand to him, and
bade him take a" chair near her. His
handsome eyes were fixed deferentially
on her face as he obeyed; but there was
no warmth in them; there was not one
shadow of tenderness towards her in bis
manner. Bella's heart grew faint aud
her lips cold; but still she hoped against
hope; she would not give up all without
a struggle. This night should decide the
uncertainty; leave her to happiness or to
despair.
The interview lasted half an hour;
and what passed between them was never
known. Probably, in her desperation,
Annabella Lawrence let him gather un?
mistakably that her love was his?and
she did love*him with all the terrible
passion of her fierce nature; and he on
his side may have allowed her to see that
he could not accept it. He may even
have hinted to her that his true affections
were given to Miss Stevens, the poor girl
governess, so' unjustifiably despised by
the great heiress. Anyway, when-Dean
Hastings quitted the rich merchant's
house that night, Bella knew that ber
hopes of happiness were over, that de?
spair had set in. She resolved to live
henceforth only for revenge.
Annabella had seen a good deal of Mr.
Hastings. It cannot be denied that he
paid her some attention; that he met her
advances, if not half way, at least a part
of it. But he never cast a thought to
! anything serious; that great heiress, his
I master's daughter, was not for him to as?
pire to; and it was only lately, when he
began to detect somewhat of her true
feelings for him, that he had drawn in
and become cold to her with a purpose.
Between that time and this, he had met
Dorothy Stevens; and learnt to love her.
And now, in her bitter heart, Miss Law?
rence was striving to hate him as much
as she had lo red him. She believed be
had deliberately played her false; and,
asjShakspeare tells us, Hell has nov fury*
like a woman scorned.
- But she did him injustice there. Mr.
Hastings had never felt love for her, or
sought to make her think he did. Of an
extremely modest, unself-asserting na?
ture, good, looking though he was, he bad
deemed that Miss Lawrence had but
flirted with him, amused herself with him,
just as she did with a host of other young
men; and so the misapprehension had
gone, and was bringing trouble in its
train.
Her hair pushed back, her heart beat?
ing with all its tumultuous and varied
passions, Bella sat on after Mr. Hastings
left. The loud opening and closing of
the street door, and a swift footstep on
the stairs aroused her. It was her cousin
who entered, one Bichard Lawrence, a
young man of nine-and-twenty, who
lived with them. He had a small share
in the business, and he hoped, by dint of
playing his cards well, to succeed to it
after Mr. Lawrence.
Mr. Bichard also hoped to succeed to
something else?Miss Lawrence. He
did not love her; but he did love her
money, for the ruling passion of his heart
was avarice. If he loved one person
more than another, it was pretty Dora
Stevens; her golden hair and sweet blue
eyes were wont to haunt him as he sat in
the counting-house over his account
books. But he said nothing to her, and
meant nothing; a poor governess could
never be the wife for him; he wanted
one endowed with the mines of Golconda.
He and his cousin Bella understood
one another. -That is she understood him.
She saw that he wanted her for his wife
on account of her money; she knew how
abject (with this aim in view,) a slave he
was to ber, how he bent before all her
whims and caprices, and that she could
turn him iound her little finger. On his
part, he suspected ber fancy for Dean
Eastings; fancy, he thought it, nothing
more; but he was outrageously jealous
of that, and there were moments when
he wished he could see that gentleman
hanging on the nearest tree; aye, and
could have helped to hang him.
Richard Lawrence did not love Mr.
Hastings on his own score. He was a
little West India fellow, with a dark face
and nngenial manner; whereas Hastings
was one of the best looking of men. and
charmed everybody; the result being
that while the one was courted in society,
the other often found the cold shoulder
turned upon him. And thus Bichard
Lawrence was prime for any little bit of
by-play against Hastings that might be
proposed to him. Not that he expected
any such proposal; nothing could be
farther from his thoughts, ft came,
nevertheless.
"Why?what is the matter, Anna?
bella?" * ? '
It was the face of his cousin that call?
ed forth the exclamation. Bella passed
her soft cambric handkerchief across her
brow. s
"It's that wretched Hastings. He has
been here insulting me."
"What I" cried Bichard, angrily rising.
And Miss Bella Lawrence entered upon
a graphic tale. Some little truth there
was in it, but'the greater portion was the
concoction of her own fertile brain.
Hastings had dared to talk of love to her,
Bhe hinted, while he had unconsciously
betrayed that he was playing fast and
loose with Dora Stevens?villian that he
was. And there was nothing for it but
his being sent instantly out of Eich
borough.
"Instantly!" exclaimed Bichard, lift?
ing his head. "But. Bella, I don't think
he can be spared."
"As you please, Dick. I do care for
him a little?and perhaps you know that
I do. Let him remain here, and I wont
answer for what may happen. Some fine
morning you and papa may-find that he
has run away with me. He is audacious
enough^ for that, or anything else; and
women like audacity in men, you know."
Bichard Lawrence knitted his brows.
"As to that governess girl, he no doubt
fully intends to kidnap her, whether or
not; she's nobody; provided he can
keep the knowledge of it from me.
Wives don't care to bear of these things,
J'ou see. I have sometimes thought you
iked the girl a little bit, yourself, Bich?
ard."
"She's a nice, pleasant little girl
enough," said Richard. "Honest as the
day, and worthy."
"And friendless," added Bella, with
quite a display of benevolent feeling.
"Well, Bichard, for her sake you should
banish him."
"Let me think it out," said Bichard.
"I hardly see how it is to be done. Your
father leaves a great deal of control to
me, but he does not leave it all. And
?how long is he to go for ?"
"For good," answered Bella, passion?
ately. "As I cannot have him, she shall
not," she added to herself; and her face
for the moment wore the fierceness of a
tiger's. "Why can't you send him out to
our cotton plantations in the Barbadoes,
Bichard?"
"Because?because?I don't know why.
It has never been thought of, Bella; he
has been too useful where he is."
"Has any one gone out to take the
place of the chief clerk there, who died ?'*
"Not yet. Proctor is partly promised
it."
Their eyes met. Proctor was the chief i
clerk immediately under Hastings; why
not substitute the one for the other? It
was the question that Bichard was read?
ing in her fixed look.
"I would ; I'd be glad to be rid of the
fellow," 'said Bichard, answering the
gaze. "But these appointments do not
lie with me. Your father has always
made them. Hush I here he comes."
Mr. Lawrence came in slowly. In
walking across the room to an easy chair,
Bella saw that he limped.
"Are you not well, papa ?"
"Anything but that, I am afraid, my
dear. I am in for a fit of the gout again,
unless I greatly mistake. My foot has
fiven me tv. inges all day; and now I can
ardly bear it. Remember one thing,
Bichard: if I? do get laid up, you must
not bother me as you did last time,
bringing all sorts of trifles to me?you
must act for yourself. You are as capa?
ble as I am."
A faint sound of exultation, suppressed
instantly, broke from Bella's lips. This
threatened illness, this extension of power
to Bichard seemed to be happening on
purpose.
Surely the devil did appear to be in
league with these good people! For with
the morning Mr. Lawrence was plunged
deep into an agonizing fit of the gout,
could not leave his bed, and his servants
were running all over Richborough for
the most able physicians.
"Is that you, Mr. Hastings? Come
here."
The speaker was Richard Lawrence.
He sat in post of honor in the counting
house, and Dean, as he entered, in obedi?
ence to the mandate, saw it with some
surprise; for that place belonged only to
the head and chief.
"You are a little late this morning."
"I am; it is a quarter past nine," re
flied Dean, good-humoredly. "Truth is,
got an important letter from an old
college chum, and waited to auswer it."
"Ah ; one generally gets hindered at
the wrong moment," observed Richard
with a pleasant smile. "I want you to
get off to the station and take the ten
o'clock train for Liverpool."
"Are you joking, Lawrence?"
"Not a bit of it. There's something
wrong with the cargo of cotton just in,
and you must go down to see about it. I
should have gone myself but-for the
Governor's illness. He is in for a fit of
gout again, and I must stay here to take
is place."
Dean's face wore a blank look. "I
wish I had known this before."
"No doubt. I knew nothing about it
till the lettera got in this morning. The
Governor ordered me not to botner him
with trifles, but I thought he ought to
know something about this. "As you
can't go yourself," said he, "you must
send Hastings down. Let him be off by
the first train." So you have no time to
lose, y\)u see."
Yes, his Satanic Majesty was certainly
at work; for it was a positive fact that
this news about the cargo of cotton was
no fable, and that somebody bad to go to
Liverpool. Apart from any scheming,
that somebody would probably have been
Drau Hastings.
"When the sun sets be at the stile by
the cross road."
It was this remembered sentence which
was troubling his mind. Dora would go
to the trusting place that evening, and
go in vain. Legitimate communication
between herself and him was difficult at
times; but now he bad no time to plan
for or to risk it. He glanced at the clock
hanging over the desk. No; there was
just time for him to* dash home to his
lodgings, tumble a few things into a port?
manteau, and dash up to the station.
"Well, I suppose Lfliust be off, then.
What are my instructions ?"
"I am writing them down for you."
Perhaps the word "writing" inspired
Dean with an idea; or, perhaps it was
the little delay. Seizing paper and pen,
he began a note to Dora. Then he hesi?
tated ; wondering how he should get it
conveyed to her. His head seemedin a
whirl?an unusual thing. Richard was
writing fast, and the noise worried him.
Scratch! scratch! Tick! tick! How
that norrid clock hurried the minutes
away. If he could only stop it. If he
could only put out his hand and stop
those-tbits of steel which were whirling
his time away so fast. If he could only
stop time itself. But no ! Then another
idea struck him; and he wrote rapidly
and fattened up the note.
"Here," said Richard, handing him a
folded paper, with some money. "6ood
luck to you, Hastings, and don't lose
more time." '
Richard seemed so gracious at that
moment that Dean was wondering
whether he might not trust him with the
note's delivery?the idea which had been
floating with uncertainty through his
mind. He looked at him, then glanced
at the note, and looked again.
"Can I do anything for you Y* asked
Richard, blandly.
"Well, you can, Lawrence. I think I
can trust you; though I am truly sorry
to give you the trouble. You know the
Galloways well^and Dorothy Stevens,
the governess; if you'd not mind calling
there^and putting this into her hand pri?
vately, I should be truly obliged."
"All right," said Richard, holding out
his band for the note.
"But you must let her have it before
five o'clock this afternoon; that's indis?
pensable."
Richard Lawrence nodded as he slipped
the note into bis pocket. And Dean
Hastings made all speed for the train.
"Tell Mr. Lawrence how sorry I am
that he is ill," he waited to say. "I hope
he will soon be up again."
As to Richard, he found a minute to
run to Miss Lawrence to report progess;
and he showed her the note.
"I'll undertake that," i said Bella.?
"Give it to me."

THE LATE CRAZY HORSE.
The Route by Which He Reached the
Happy Hunting Grounds.
Chicago Tribune Letter.
Red Cloud Agency, Sept. 6.
Crazy Horse, after his fight on the 4th
instant, was pursued by Indian soldiers
from here, and found at Spotted Tail
Agency that night. He said he had left
here for the purpose of taking his sick
wife to her relatives at Spotted Tail, and
that he would return next morning.
The Red Cloud Indian soldiers, with
some Brule soldiers, next morning star?
ted with him for this agency, being ac?
companied by Lieutenant Lee, of the
Ninth Infantry, the agent and Spotted
Tail. - : -
They passed the agency unmolested,
and, upon their arrival at the post, found
that a considerable number of Indians
had collected there; and while Crazy
Horse was being conducted into the
guardhouse, be suddenly made an at?
tempt to stab Capt. Kennington, officer
of the day?having, it appears, a revolver
and two Knives concealed about his per?
son. Capt. K. drew his sword, and at
this juncture, Little-Big-Man (Crazy
Horse's former right bower) grasped
Crazy Horse by the arm and attempted
to hold him; out he resisted, backed out
of the guardhouse?being at the time
surrounded by the guard?and made a
thrust at Little-Big-Man, eutting him on
the arm above the wrist. At this, Crazy
Horse fell, having heen mortally wound?
ed in some manner, in the right side
just above the hip. Capt. Kennington
then ordered the guard to take him back
to the guardhouse; whereupon the Indi?
an soldiers cocked their guns?whether
intending to attack the guard or prevent
interference from the Northern Indians,
is not known. Crazy Horse's father
jumped off his pony and made two at?
tempts to shoot, but was seized by the
Indian soldiers.
The Indians then objected to them
taking Crazy Horse back. At this, the
interpreters (half-breeds) fled, .leaving
the Captain and Dr. McGillycuddy, Act?
ing Assistant Surgeon, with the guard,
to manage the difficulty?none of them
understanding a word of Sioux, and un?
able to explain themselves or to take any
action, and not knowing friend from foe.'
A half-breed, Johu Provost, then made
his appearance, and told the Indians
that the Doctor wished to take Crazy
Horse in and attend to him; but they
decidedly objected to it, and said they
could take him in the office, which was
done. He was attended by Dr. McGilly
scuddy and Dr. Munn, the Post Surgeon,
and at 2 o'clock last night died.
It is not known how, or by whom,
Crazy Horse received his death wound.
Little-Big-Man says that, when Crazy
Horse made the thrust at him the knife,
after wounding him, from the force of
the blow glanced off and entered Crazy
Horse himself. Crazy Horse, however,
before his death, asserted that he had
been struck with a bayonet, as he felt it
penetrate his sides. After his father had
been quieted, he made' a speech in behalf
of his son, giving his family history, etc.;
said that he did not want to come to the
Ageucy, but that he wished to remain
North and be let alone; that the troops
hunted him down and he had to come
in ; that he wished to be put on a scaffold
in the customary Indian way, and not
buried in a coffin. He said that his son
had been his only protection, and that,
as be was now -gone, he was poor and
friendless; that, while they were North,
his son had taken good care of him, and
they always had plenty of game to eat.
But this morning the pld man has been
haranguing that his son was obstinate,
would not listen to good advice, and that
now. be was no more, and it was well.
Early this morning, the body of Crazy
Horse was brought in the ambulance,
from the post by Indian soldiers, and
delivered to his relatives in the village
near the agency. There was a terrible
amount of crying done by the women and
children, and just before noon, the rela?
tives of Crazy Horse took the body to
Spotted Tail Agency.
WONDERFUL RAILROAD.
How one Train Passed Another on o
Single Track on the Union Pacific.
From the Bel ait Free Press.
Dr. H. P. Strong, brother of the Gen?
eral Superintendent of the Chicago, Bur?
lington and Quincy Railroad, who has
recently returned from Colorado, tells the
following exciting story:
La; t Saturday our train was running
from Denver to Cheyenne to connect with
the Uniou Pacific at Cheyenne. When
within eighteen miles of Cheyenne and
about thirty-five miles of Greeley, and
while running up a ten-mile grade, one
of the axles of the tender broke, and the
whole train with the exception of our
car was thrown from the track and badly
jammed up. The Assistant Superintend?
ent of the road happened to be on board,
and, as we surveyed the ruins, he told us
that there was no engine at Cheyenne
that could be sent to our assistance, and
we must look to Greeley, and that we
were probably booked for an '"jhteen
mile walk to Cheyenne, where we would
have to remain over Saturday. This was
decidedly disagreeable to all of us, as we
bad been informed that during the sum?
mer the Cheyenne preachers are all off
on vacation, and consequently there are
no religious services to attend.
While thinking of our hard luck I
happened to look back over the road,
and observed that we had been running
on an up-grade for a long distance, ana
at the same time JL. remembered that
about fifteen" minutes before we had
jumped the track we met a train on a
side track going to Denver.^ A thought
struck me that there was a way out of the
dilemma. I turned to the engineer and
asked him if there was any up-grade to?
ward Greeley. He said that there was*
only one?a heavy one about eight miles
back. After that it was all down-grade.
I called for crowbars instantly, and two
or three train men ran out thirty or forty
rods on to the prairie and dug up the
bars. You see the railroad company
have coupling-irons, crowbars and such
things "catched" in the ground all along
the road, so as to have them ready for
use at any time. Tbey have to keep
them under the ground, because the air
is so rarified that iron and all the
coarses metals, when exposed to its ac?
tion, very soon lose their density, the
particles separating, and the metal be?
coming like so much sand, without'
strength, and perfectly worthless. While
the boys were after the crowbars I ex?
plained to our party that I believed we
could pry our car loose from the coup?
ling with the train, and, having a down
grade, we could catch the train we had
met. We soon bad the car uncoupled
with the aid of crowbars, and a dozen or
more of us started on the car. She glided
along faster and faster, gathering speed
every second. ?*?.?
Not being familiar with the grades, the
only fear I bad was that our car would
not gain sufficient momentum to over?
come the up-grade, though, of course, I
hoped it would. We very soon struck it,
and I assure you I watched the progress
of the car with a good deal of interest
And it just made it and that was* all.
We jumped off and pushed her a little,
and down we started again on a twenty
five mile down-grade. I looked ahead,
and several miles off could easily see the
train we were after, but it was almost in?
stantly shut out from sight by our sud?
denly running into a dense mass of flying
grasshoppers, evidently seeking to alight
ou the ground. We had all been stand?
ing on the platform up to this time, but
when we met these grasshoppers we were
driven into the car, as they struck our
faces with the force of hail stones. Look?
ing through the windows, we could see
nothing but grasshoppers, so thick were
they, and only now and theq could we
get a glimpse of the ground even. After
a minute or two, I became a little anx?
ious, as I knew we were going very fast,
and, as I had engineered the brake, I
started up from my seat, and tying a
heavy handkerchief about my face, went
out to the platform and seized the brake.
For a minute it wasn't clear in my mind
whether I could hold out against the
pelting of the 'hoppers or not, but sud?
denly, when I was about whipped, our
car emerged from the swarm, and as soon
as I realized it I tore the handkerchief
from "iny face and looked out for the
train, with my hands on the brake, ready
to avoid running into it. I felt queer
when, in looking, I couldn't see that
train, and wbeh'/l tookr6ne2look"airound_
and saw that dor car; wiw'.'running: on]
bare ground, with the track about twenty-'
five rods off to my left, 1 tell you the cold
shivers ran up and down my back to a
very considerable extent. If a man ever
put "down brakes," it was me. I laid
right back and tightened that brake
wheel three more cogs than bad ever been
done by the stoutest man on the road.?
She stepped, and as I turned to open the
car-door to call to the crowd, I heard an
engine whistle "down brakes." I jumped
off the ground, and, looking backward
toward the sound, saw that engine slow?
ing up bebind us on the track.
I hadn't a word to say. I began to
think that I would like to get out of that
country right away, and be tucked up in
my little bed at home until I got well.
The other fellows were soon jumping out
on the ground, and they were as aston?
ished as I was. We started for the train,
which had now come to a standstill, the
conductor shouting as we came up,
"Well, boys, you did that pretty well."
Says I "See here, mister, we're strangers
in this country, and though we've had
some experience in the East, we'll be
blamed if we know what you mean when
you say that we did that pretty well."
"Why, taking your car past us, of course.
We were afraid some greenhorn was
managing your car when we saw it com?
ing down the grade before the 'hoppers
struck us. We knew, however, that we
were leaving you a hard 'hopper bed*to
do the trick on." Well, to come to the
point, the train ahead of us had mashed
so many .dead 'hoppers on to the road bed
that it was filled up full, even with the
rails, so that when ourTar got along it
slid right off the rails, and the ground
was so hard and even that it ran close on
four miles before I put on the breaks and
stopped ber, and while she was running
those four miles we passed the train we
were trying to overtake, the dense mass
of flying 'hoppers preventing us from see?
ing it as we went by.
In conversation with the conductor
afterwards, I learned it was quite a regu?
lar trick of the engineers on the Union
Pacific Eoad to pass another train. They
will pull their trains off the track, go by
undiscovered by reason of the density of
the 'hoppers, pull back on the track, and
when the passed train fetches up at the
next station its engineer has to "set 'em
up" for all hands. As is is supper time,
and to get down to results, we got our car
back on the track, and hitched a 'hopper
plow on to the rear car, and the engine
and train backed up to the wreck, from
which we had been gone just nineteen
minutes, in which time we had traveled
eighteen miles twice.

BT. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir?In the spring of 18691 was stricken
down with fever, which Lad a lone and almost
hopeless run. The best medical advice being in
attendance, I was taken through the fever; but
it left me terribly reduced and weak, with ex?
cruciating pains in my side, bnck and hips, i
was completely prostrated with Kidney Com?
plaint, and no medicine seemed to reach my case.
In this condition I was persuaded te try Veo?
etine by a friend whom it cnred of the same
disease, and it seemed as though I could feel the
effect of the first dose through my whole system;
and from that moment I began to mend, gradu?
ally growing better from day to day; nnd 1 fol?
lowed on with the VeoETINK, until it completely
restored me to health, since which time 1 have
beeu able to perform mv duties as a police
officer, enjoying good health; and there in no
doubt about the great value of VeuktinE in
Kidney Complaint and similar diseases.

"DC-MAINE GOLD, so extensively worn In Paria, was first discovered in 1870, by the celebrated
^JX French chemist, M?ns. D. Be Lainge, who manufactured it into jewelry, and for five years
sold it to the leading Jewelers of Paris for Solid Gold. In* 1875, when his secret became known,
ten of the manufacturing jewelers established a stock company, with a capital of 810,000,000 for the
purpose,of manufacturing ROMAINE GOLD JEWELY AND WATCHES. With this immense
capital, and the aid of improved machinery they are enabled to produce all the latest patterns of
jewelry at less than one-tenth the cost of Solid Gold, and of a quality and color which makes it
impossible even for experts to detect it from the genuine.
we have secured the exclusive agency of the United States and Canada, for the sale
of all goods manufactured from this metal, and in order to introduce them in the most speedy

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
NOTHING conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur
nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh
frojn the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth?
er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outeide, and never will decay. It improves the
water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work?
ing, givei complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
