JIM NEWON'S REVENGE.
I always like corning straight? ai
things, so ii I am .going to tell what
I know about this, I ask your leave
to do it in my own way, for I'm o
plain man with plain words, and haye
no knowledge of writing fine, so here
goes:
I was married to Susan Gatley, or
tho first of February, in the y em
1803, at St. Paul's Church, Highforc
Btreet, which may be seen by looking
at the writing in tho books. Hei
lather is in the butchering Une. He
says to me, when I asked for Susan,
"William," says he, "of course ]
have a liking for my little girl, anc
likes to see her well settled in lift
and happy, and I' ask you as a mat
and a father, what's your lookout?'
"Susan's father," says I, "I drive
as you know," on the Great Eastern
that goes across the country, witl
?200 a year and fuel, and 1*11 taki
care of your Susan and be a kind ant
dutiful man to h?r.
"William," says he, shaking nv
hand, with tears in his eyes, that th
bleating of all tho lambs he's killet
in his day couldn't bring, "you cai
take her, and good luck to yer
though since her mother was throwd
she's been bite and su p to mo. 'Eavei
help, but may sho be the same t>
you."
Well, I was going away, feelini
happy along of the ease with whicl
things was working, when he call
me back, saying: "William, I ain
a wicious . man, nor yet a backbiter
but 1 must say that, if you take Su
san, you get an enemy along witl
her.'r
"Sho!" says I, taken quite aback
"Fact," says he; "that Jim Nelso:
has been hankering after my littl
girl, off and on, but she don't lik
him; no more do J, and no more d
you."
I nodded "yes."
"And he told me ono night tho
he'd be an enemy to him that gc
Susan, without 'twas himself."
"Never you fear; I thought that ;
was them lawyers that might b
driving of us apart," said I, laughin
hearty; but the old fellow shook h:
head in a doubtful style.
Well,,we-that is, Susan and I
were wed-looked, as they call it, ga
and marriage 'bell; and we wei
coming out of the church, when u
came Jim Nelson, white around tl:
mouth and nose, and he whispered 1
me, "William Rogers, there's som<
thing atwixt you and me as long i
you live, whioh won't be long."
What he said, he said quickly; an
before I could get Susan's arm ol
BO as to give him a clip, Susan's pi
who was walking behind with a whii
rose in his mouth, steppe! up, an
beiug a strong man, he caught Jil
by the shoulders and turned hi
round, and gave him one with h
boot I think it was done well, f<
he rolled down the steps and into
hole that the sexton was in, and th
made it worse. I didn't feel lil
laughing, for it seemed uunaturc
and that day was, to me, happy, ai
I wanted it so all round; and it fe
as though my engine was runnii
over the sleepers instead of on tl
rails, when Jim goi up out of tl
hole, all covered with dirt, and stoo
as pale as a ghost, shaking his fist
me and Susan, without speaking
word.
I couldn't shake oft" tho remcmbe
ance of it nil that day nor tho nos
and a kind of dread stuck to me;
spite of all I could do, tho thougl:
of it would como suddenly to mo
the oddest places, and I began
feel a little strange. It wasn't fe
tome nt all, but I kept thinking, sn
poso that ho should do some harm
Susau when I was away on the roa
or come and scare her with bis wh:
face. By George! thinks I to mysc
I'd tio him on the track leugthw:
and run over him, if I thought lu
do that. I know it was a cruel thi
to think of him who hod dono mo
harm; but I was just so savage alo
of thinking of his wanting to coi
between mo and my lawful wife.
Tho next day 1 went on my roi
as usual, which was from Croydon to
Patterton,, just 103 milts. I drove
tho NeBtor with tjie, express lown in
the morning, and then back to Croy?
don again, starting at about i o'clock
in; the afternoon, though that is not
quito certain, us we have to Wait for;
passengers by the boat,' and that is
kept back by storms and stich like,
thoiigh, on the average, the time
doesn't vary more thfifteen mi?
nutes. ! "ii* .
In the winter time, as it was when
this happened, of course it is dark as
pitch when-we run into Croydon,
without there's a moon; and I always
look well at . the>, head light, and
drive-with my eyes wide open; and I
generally let her go full, as the track
is well cleared of special trains at
that time,, and the way they have of
telegraphing now-a-days, keeps me
well posted about the track ahead by
the signal lanterns along the route.
So you seo. I felt pretty safe, and
knowing I was a careful man, I didn't
have much fear that I'd let anything
go that would show that Jim was go?
ing to get his revenge by doing me a
harm on the road, or by spoiling my
veputation as an engineer; for, do
you see, the idea struck mo that,
knowing the road himself, and all its
workings, that he might think it was
easy to hurt me that way, and so I
kept my eyes open.
The next day, I looked at Jim's
house, which is about twenty miles
out of Croydon, in the woods, and
near the track, and I saw him stand?
ing in the doorway, scowling nt me,
or, leastways, where he knew I was,
for he knew my train and habits, as
we were chums once. He kept his
eye on the cab window, and as we
got almost out of sight, I looked
round sudden, and saw him shaking
his fist nt the train. Thinks I
to myself when I saw that, Wil?
liam Rogers, you lock sharp when
you come back over this route to?
night; men that have a spite that
lives as strong ns that, two daj\s and
two nights, ought to be looked after,
and more than that, Susan said to me
that morning when she was putting
my dinner in tho pail, says she,
"William, my dear-"
"Yes, Susan," says I, with my
mouth full of bread.
"William, would it make much
difference if you came in half nu
hour Inte to-night with the train?"
"No, Susan, perhaps not." Yon
seo, I knew half what was coming.
"Because I'm afraid, almost, of
something; don't ask mc what it is,
for I don't know myself. I feel it
somehow, and want you to drive
slow, and promise me, William dear,
to look at the lanterns, and wheels,
and tilings, won't you?"
"Susan," says I, kissing of her,
"I'll walk all the way."
And that was what I was going to
do. I made Collins, the fireman, mad
as a March hare by intaking him go
through the wheels twice with a ham?
mer before wo started back from Pil
lerton that night. I went through
the engine myself examined the
springs and levels. had two
extra men put on the "ikes and an
extra lantern fastened . the engine
in front of the boiler. They all
laughed at me, but I kept on "till I
felt that things were ns they should be.
"When I was speaking of Jim Nel?
son's house in the woods, perhaps I
ought to have said that he was n
widower and had a little tot of n
baby, and I noticed it as I ran by
that morning, playing round in the
door-yard. I say this so that that
which comes after may better be
understood.
"Well, we started back at 4.20, thal
is, back to Croydon. It was storming
as I thought it never did before; thc
clouds rolled up black and the wind
came down from the mountains cold
and blustering. I shut her all up
tight and turned down tho light ic
the cab, so that I might see bcttei
how things went outside. Prettj
soon, it came on to rain, mixed wit!
hail, and the night came down blackci
than before. I kept my hand on th<
lever, and my eyes to the broad atreal
of light that lit up about two hun
dred yards of the track. I let hei
along easy at about twenty miles ai
hour, taking a look now and then ai
the cars, and keeping an eye on eve
rything. We ran on steadily this
way for two hours, and lost fifteei
minutes, and still everything wa
right. I kept my course, as the dan
ger commenced now, if there wa
any at all. The storm and rain wen
worse than over, and beat against u
like mad, und blew the smoko am
steam down over us so that I felt lik
stopping altogether, but of cours
this wouldn't do. We kept on t li i
way for another hour, feeling our wa;
carefully. About twenty minutesafte
that, I got off my seat to look at th
oil cups and gauge, when, quick a
lightning, Collins, the fireman, jerkei
my arm, and shouted, "Good God
there's a child crawling on tho track!
I shoved my lever back and pullet
the whistle valve short and quid
aud opened the cab window nm
jumped out on tho engine. Indoin
so, I thought afterwards, I must hnv
kicked tho lever back again. At tba
moment, what I saw mado mo forge
everything else, for sure euougli
about 200 feet in front of the engine
in the middle of the track, was a littl
one, kneeling on its hands an
knees, nnd without moving, but looli
ing straight at the light of tho lac
terns. God help mo, says I, seeiD
the poor thing must bo killed if
didn't help it, and I scrambled pa?
tba boiler and oat on tbe cow-catcher.
The car wheel? grated, but tba en?
gine was working harder than it had
that night, I couldn't stop to think
why, and putting, my feet between
the bara, I caught hold of tho shncklo
with my left hand, and leaned for
?rard over tho track. I Abut my teeth
ogether. tight, and^msld on like
death, knowing well tnttt a slip of ray
hand or foot would end me. The
'.poor cowering little thing crept away
to one side, but was so scared that it
had sunk down and was lying on its
belly aoross the rail. God help it,
again says I, bending low down,
and I stuck my arm ont straight and !
stiff, with my hand nu inch from the
track; in an instant I shoved my hand
under the child, but pushed it along
about five feet before I could closo
my baud on the dress; then I lifted
it up over my head and put it on the
platform behind me, and then, quick
ns may be, I followed, for I felt a kind
of weakness coming over me. I took
the baby in my arms, but was too
weak to go back, so I sat there. The
engine was going like lightning, and
the rain was beating in minc and tho
baby's face, and the wheels were
grinding and roaring, and, afore
Heaven, I never was so womanish
along of any danger I have been in,
ns I was then, with the poor little
thing, and its arms around my nock,
sobbing as if its heart would break.
I was only there a minute, and was
nearly fainting, when I heard a shout?
ing louder than tho storm and tho
noise of the engine, andi opened my
eyes and saw tho figure of a man
about thirty yards in front of- thc
engine. Ho stooped down, then
jumped up with something largo in
his hands, and threw it off thc track;
then ho did it again and ngaiu. He
worked quick and wild-like, and just
before the engine reached him, he
jumped off, and waved his arms at
mo and tho baby, and the glare of
tho lantern fell on him at that in?
stant, and showed n faco which was
pale round tho lips aud nose, such ns
I had 6eeu before.
Well, I got back to the cab with thc
baby, and whistled the brakes of*',
and went into Croydon thirty-five
minutes before time. I told Susan
nil about it, and she took to the buby
in fino style, and sho and I sat by the
fire that evening, talking and wonder?
ing over what had happened, when ?1
knock came to the door, and I went
to it aud says, "Who's there?"
"It's me," says a voice, which wai
trembling as though tho man was
crying; "lot me in, Rogers; I'm Jim
Nelson. I've got nothing agin' yov
and Susan, now, God knows."
So I opened thc door, and ho came
in, staggering as if ho was in liquor,
and as white as snow. .Then he looket
around tho room, and seeing thc chili
in Susan's lap, he ran to it, anc
kneeling down, he buried his face it
its clothes, and sobbed and cried as ]
never saw a man boforo or since
After a while, he got a little calmed;
then he,stood up, and turning round
to me, ne says:
"William Rogers, I - meant to do
you a harm to-night; but you saved
the littlo one for me, which is all I
'nave to love in this-big world. You
took one away from me, and I
thought to mend by breaking; bat,'
William," he went on, "I wasn't tho
old Jim Nelson, which is a true man,
and who is speaking to yon now, and
so I asks forgiveness of yon and her."
Then Susan and I shook hands
with him, but he could not speak a
word. Then Jim stooped down and
took the baby iuto his arms, and
says, as a lost word to Susan and me:
"God bless both of yon for mau
and wife," says he, "and may you
always be happy." Then ho turned
and shut the door behind him, and
wont out into tho storm and rain
aud I have never seen him since.

THE TRIUMPH OF ART!
MOKE TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF
Heinitsh's Queen's Delight.
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "The
Queen's Delight is beginning to
awaken tho attention of our physicians.
Its remarkable curative power is seen in
its wonderful effect upon disease. As a
blood purifier, there is no medicino liko it
known to tho profession. A gentleman
told mo that, his son has been taking tho
Queen's Delight, and is moro benefited by
it than by any other mediciuo. Ho wants
a dozen bottles."
Extract from a letter: "It is duo to you
to st ute in this public manner, in order
that tho people may know tho truth, that
I have tried your Queen's Delight, and
found it not only what you said it was-"a
pure medicine"-but tho best medicine I
navo ever taken for eruptions and general
bad health. I had an eruption all over my
body, with impaired digestion and disor?
dered liver, and have tried a great many
medicines without any benefit. I have
taken ono bottle of your Queen's Delight,
tho eruption has disappeared, my appetite
is botter, my liver and digostion ta im?
proved. I am satisfied ono or two more
bottles will euro mo."
Extract from a letter: "At the close of
tho war, my constitution was shattered. I
could not oat, sleep or perform any duty
whatever, such was my prostrate condi?
tion. Medicino and medical aid I had in
abundance, such was my condition up to a
few months since, when I began tho use of
your Queen's Delight. I have UBed two
bottles, my constitution is greatly im?
proved, my appetite is good, enjoy refresh?
ing sleep, and am able to perform my share
of daily labor."
Extract from a U tter-Wonderful effect
of only ono bottle: "j have used only a
half bottlo of 'Queen's Delight' for boils
and eruptions of tho skin and itching hu?
mors of the blood, which annoyed me very
much. I am entirely cured. 1 think your
medicino a valuablo ono."
A remarkable case of liver complaint and
headache cured by tho uso of "Heinitsh's
Queen's Delight:" A lady of unquestioned
worth and reputation voluntarily gives tes?
timony of the wonderful effects of this
medicine. She has been from early years
a martyr to headaches, caused by imper?
fect action of tho liver, producing intense
headache and pain over thc eyes. She has
taken only four bottles, and assures us of
tho perfect cure it lias made. Sho now cn
i joys good health.
Still ai ther: "During last spring, I had
been troubled with obstinate chills and
fever, which, when cured, left my system
in a wretched condition, blood impure, and
I was afflicted with an angry, and, as I at
one timo thought, an incurable, cutaneous
eruption over my entire body. Tho most
violent remedies suggested failed to work
a cure, until, at tho instance of a friend, I
tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. Less
than two bottles cured mo, leaving my skin
in a healthy condition. My general health
is as good as ever. For snell purposes, I
have, ever since my cure, unhesitatingly
recommended your Queen's Delight."
Don't buy any but the right kind. All
genuine Queen's Delight lins Ibo copy-right
mark on thc outside, and it is tho only
medicino which produces theso wonderful
I cures. For sale wholesale and retail at
