ERA OF HIGH SPEED. i Examples of the Strenuous Life on Transportation Lines. This is an era of high speed. The j feat of attaining a speed of 105 miles j an hour on the electric railroad be; tween Berlin and Zossen is the latest ! manifestation of the tendency of the 1 age. This particular railroad has i been built under the direction of the : kaiser as primarily a military lino. 1 he having made up his mind to test j ; the value of electric traction in war. ! ; Presumably its success will induce ' j the country to be gridironed with electric lines as "first aids" in inobi- ; lization. The results of the speed j trials are, however, commercially val- j | uable, as indicating how important a factor electricity may become as a j transportation agency, though we j j must know more than we know now j j of the conditions under which the Ger- j j man experiment was made before conclusions are absolutely safe as to the 1 ( nXliva.inn r\f fnpMc A VSSt i ' of knowledge remains to be attained | before we can figure the commercial i value of electricity as a motive power ! on a scale more extended than its . present use. j But it is not alone in Germany that speeding up is the order of the day. ! Here in the United States the trans- ' continental lines are virtually being ' ! rebuilt, the reconstruction being point- j ed toward speed. The trip between i Boston and the Pacific coast, which only a few years ago "spoiled" a week ; can now be made in four days and four hours. This time will be sharply cut when the improvements between Ogden and San Francisco, now in ; progress have been completed. Ben- j ton. we believe it was, who in the dis- I cussion of the Pacific railroad project j was wont to point to the setting sun ! and say: "There is the east." The ; speed race on this continent is Westward, to gain the markets of the east. At the Pacific coast the fast-speeding | trains will shortly be met by steam- ! ers much faster and much larger than j any heretofore known in our ChinaJapan service. All railroads tributary to the transcontinental system?and most lines are now?feel the influence of this expansion and are placing big orders for ! rolling stock. The entire output of i American Locomotive Company for j ] next year has been contracted for in i advance when its capacity will be j 2,000 lacomotices per annum. For | through business, for long hauls, the ! iron horse still more than holds its own. Nor can it be expected that it j will be stabled for good until the j doubts as to the cost of electricity i for the same business have been resolved to the point of demonstrating that it is a cheaper agency than steam.?Boston Transcript.

'h A DOO OF R % y*\ By Normax y -y E was a Newfoundland dog, J5^?| born of reputable parents at i; I Back Arm and decently bred in Buddy Cove, which is on the northeast coast. He had black hair, short, straight and wiry,?the curly-haired breed has failed on the Island,?and broad, ample shoulders, * 1 1 1 Tn vvlllcfi ills iorDears nuvi naajunmu ?.v liirn from generations of hauling wood. He was heavy, awkward and ugly, resembling somewhat a great draftliorse. But he pulled with a will, fended for himself, and within the iuowlcdge of men had never stolen 1 lish; so he had a high place iii the hearts of all the people of the Cove, and a safe one in their estimation. "Skipper! Skipper! Here, b'yi" The ringing call, in the voice of pouug Billy Topsail, his master, a asherman's sou, never failed to bring [he dog from the kitchen with an ?ager rush, when the snow lay deep an the rocks and all the paths of the wilderness were ready for the sled. Hie stood stock-still for the harness, and at the first "Hi, b'y! Gee up, :liere!" he bounded away with a wagging tail and a glad bark. It was is if nothing pleased him so much 011 1 frosty morning as the prospect of a aard day's work. If the call came in summer-time when the Skipper was dozing in the :ool shadow of a flake,?a platform )f boughs for drying fish,?he scramled to his feet, took his clog in tils mouth and ran, all a-quiver for what might come, to where young Billy waited. (In Newfoundland the law requires that all dogs shall ba dogged as a precaution against their % - X. U ...... idling sneep ana goats wuicu am ivild. The clog is in. the form of a jillec of wood, weighing at least seven and a half pounds, and tied to :he dog's neck.) If the clog were :aken off,?as it was almost sure to 30,?it meant sport in the water. Then the Skipper would paw the jrouud and whine until the stick was lung out for him. But best of all he oved to dive for stones. At the peep of many a day, too, he ivent out in the pijnt to the fishing ^rounds .with Billy Topsail, and there zept the lad good company all the lay long. It was because he sat on :he little cuddy in the bow, as if zeeping a lookout ahead, that he was called the Skipper. "Sure, 'tis a clever dog, that!" vras Billy's boast. "He_weuhl save lifehat dog wouldl" This was proved beyond doubt when ittle Isaiah Tommy Goodman toddled ?ver the wharfhead, where he tad been jlaying with a squid. Isaiah Tommy vas four years old, and would surey have been drowned had not the Skip)er strolled down the wharf just at hat moment The Skipper was obedient to- the ~11 X*~?A USUUCl U1 Uli lUULiUiilUU UUgS IU lrag the soiis of men from the "water. 3e plunged i_ and caught Isaiah Tomuy by the collar of his pinafore. Still following his instinct, he Uept the ihild's head above water with powerful strokes of his fore paws Avhile he owed him to shore. Then the outcry vhich Isaiah Tommy immediately set lp brought his mother to complete he rescue. For this deed the Skipper was petted i day and a half, and led with- fried :aplin and salt pork, to his evident Ratification. No doubt he was persuaded that he had acted worthily, however that be, he continued in nerry moods, In affectionate behavior, n honesty?although the fish were (ven then drying on the flakes, all cx>osed, and he earned his clog like a lero. "Skipper," Billy Topsail would ejacilate, "you do be a clever dog!" One day in the fall of the year, when ligh winds spring suddenly from the and, Billy Topsail was fishing from he punt, the Never Give Up. over he shadows of Molly's Head. It was 'fish weather," as the Ruddy Cove nen say?gray, cold and misty. The larbor entrance lay two miles to the ;outhwest. The bluffs which marked t were hardly discernible, for the mist lung thick off the shore. Four punts ind a skiff were bobbing half a mile arther out to sea, their crews fishing vith hook and Hue over the side, ["bicker weather threatened, aud the Lay was uear spent. " 'Tis time to be off horue, b'y," said Billy to the dog. " 'Tis getting thick n the sou'west." The Skipper stretched himself and vagged his tail. He had no word to ray, but Billy, who, like all fishermen u remote places, had formed the habit )f talking to himself, supplied the mswcr. " 'Tis that, Billy, b'y," said he. "The Hint's as much as one hand can manige in a fair wind. An' 'tis a dead beat ;o the harbor now." Then Billy said a word for himself. 'We'll put in for ballast. The punt's :oo light for a gale." He sculled the punt to the little :ove by the Head, and there loaded her with rocks. Her sails, mainsail and tiny jib were spread, and she was headed for Grassy Island, on the first leg of her beat into the wind. By this time the other two punts were under way, and the sails of the skiff were fluttering as her crew prepared to beat home for the night. The Never Give Up was ahead of the fleet .-nut I held her lead in such line fashion as made Billy Topsail's heart swell with pride. The wind had gained iu force. It was sweeping down from the hills in gusis. Now it fell to ;t breeze, and again it came swiftly with angry strength. Xor could its advance be perceived, for the sea was choppy and the bluffs shielded the inshore waters. "We'll fetch the harbor on the next tack," Billy muttered to the Skipper, who was whining in the bow. He put the steering oar hard alee [0 bring the punt about. A gust caught the sails.

(JDDY COVE. I ? 1 Duncan. <?> Billy dived deep to escape entanglement with the rigging of the boat, lie had long ago learned the lesson that presence of mind wins half the fight i:a perilous emergencies. The coward miserably perishes, where the brave man survives. With his courage leaping to meet his predicament, he struck out for windward and rose to the surface. lie looked about for the punt She had been heavily weighted with bal last ana lie leareu tor ner. \\ nat was he to do if she had been too heavily weighted? Even as lie looked she sank. She had righted under water; the tip of the mast was the last he saw of her. The sea?cold, fretful, vast?lay all about him. The coast was half a mile to windward; the punts, out to sea, were laboriously beating toward him, and could make no greater speed. He had to choose between the punt and the rocks. A whine?with a strange note in itattracted his attention. The big dog had caught sight of him, and was beating the water In a frantic effort to approach quickly. But the dog had never whined like that before. "Hi, Skipper!" Billy called. "Steady, b'y! Steady!" Billy took off his boots as fast as he could. The dog was coming nearer, still whining strangely and madly pawing the water. Billy was mystified. What possessed the dog? It was as if he had been seized with a fit of terror. Was lie afraid or drowning? His eyes were fairly flaring. Such a light had never been in them before. In the instant he had for speculation the boy lifted himself high in the water and looked intently into the dog's eyes. It was terror he saw in tliem; there could be no doubt about that, he thought. The dog was afraid for bis life. At once Billy was filled with dread. lie could not crush the feeling down. Afraid of the Skipper, ?the old, affectionate Skipper?his own dog, which he had reared from a puppy! It was absurd. But he was afraid, nevertheless?desperately afraid. "Back, b'y!" he cried. "Get back, sir!" Billy was a strong swimmer. lie had learned to swim where the water is cold?cold, often, as the icebergs stranded in the harbor can make It. The water was bitter cold now. but lie did not fearjt, nor did he doubt that ho..'accomplish the long swim which lay before him. It was the unaccountable failure of the dog which disturbed him?his failure in obedience, which could not be explained. The dog was now within three yards, and excited past all reason. "Back, sir!" Billy screamed. "Get back with you!" The dog was not deterred by the command. He did not so much as hesitate. Billy raised his hand as if to strike him?a threatening gesture which had sent the Skipper home with his tail between his legs many a time. But it had no effect now. "Get back!" Billy screamed again. It was plain that the dog was not to te bidden. Billy threw himself on his back, supported himself with lii~ bauds and kicked at the dog with his feet. TVtn SIHtymim' woe lilirtilofl hr ttio cnlncli.

But swimming thus, he was no match for the dog. With his head thrown back to escape the blows, the Skipper forged after him. Ke was struck in the jaws, in the threat and again in the jaws. But he rawed on, taking every blow without complaint and gaining inch by inch. Soon he was so close that the lad could no longer move his feet freely. Then the dog chanced to catch one foot with his paw, and forced It under. Billy could not beat him off. No 'longer opposed, the dog crept up?paw over paw, forcing the boy's body lower and lower. His object was clear to Billy. The Skipper, frenzied by terror, the boy thought, would try to save himself by climbing on his shoulders. "Skipper!" he cried, "you'll drown me! Get back!" The futility of attempting to command obedience from a crazy dog struck Billy Topsail with force. xHe must act otherwise, and that quickly, if he were to escape. There seemed to be but one thing to do. He took a long breath and let himself sink? down?down?as deep as he dared. Down?down?until he retained breath sufficient but to strike to the right and rise again. The dog?as it was made known later ?rose as high as he could force himself, and looked about in every direction, with his mouth open and his ears rigidly cocked. He gave two short barks, like sobs, and a long, mournful whine. Then, as if acting upon sudden thought, he dived. For a moment nothing was to be seen of either boy or dog. There was nothing but a choppy sea in that place. Men who were watching thought that both had followed the Never Give Up to the bottom. In the momentary respite tinder water Billy perceived that his situation was desperate. He would rise, he was sure, but only to renew the struggle. How long he could keep the dog off he could not tell. Until the punts came down to his aid? He thought not. lie came to the surface prepared to (live again. But the Skipper had disappeared. An ejaculation of thanksgiving was yet on the boy's lips, when the dog's black head rose and moved swiftly toward him. Billy had a start cf ten yards?or something more. He turned on his side and set oil at top speed. There was no better swimmer among the lads-of the harbor. Was he a match for a powerful Newfoundland dog? It was soon evident that he was not. The Skipper gained rapidly. Billy felt a paw strike his foot. <e put more force into his strokes. Next the paw struck the calf of his leg. The dog was now upon him?pawing his back. Billy could not sustain the weight. To escape, that he might take up the light in another way, he dived again. The dog was waiting wnen Hilly earac.' up?waiting eagerly, on the alert to ccntlnue the chase. "Skipper, old fellow?good old dwj!" Billy called in a soothing voice: t "Steady, sir! Down, sir?back!" f The dog was not to be deceived. He r came, by turns whining and gasping. He was more excited, more determined, c than ever. Billy waited for him. The * fight was to be face to face. The boy 1 had determined to keep him off with his bands until strength failed?to drown him if he could. All love for the dog had gone out of his heart. ( The weeks of close and merry companionship, of romps and rambles and sport, were forgotten. Billy was , fighting for life. So he waited without pity, hoping only that his strength might last until he had conquered. : When the dog vas within reach Billy 1 struck him in the face. A snarl and an ! angry snap was the result. Rage seemed suddenly to possess the dog. He held back for a moment, grov.iing fiercely, and then attacked with a rush. Billy fought as best he coulJ, trying to catch his enemy by the neck and to force his head beneath the waves. The effort was vain; the , - __j i 1 (log eiuacu ins grasp uua reuuweu the attack. In another moment he had laid his heavy paws on the boy's shoulders. The weight was too much for Billy. c Down he went, freed himself, and t struggled to the surface, gasping for n breath. It appeared to him now that ^ he had but a moment to live. He felt r his self-possession going from him? y and at that moment his ears caught j3 the sound of a voice. s '"Put your arm " The voice seemed to come from far away. Before the sentence was com- 1< pleted the dog's paws were again on Billy's shoulders and the water stopped the boy's hearing. What were they ' calling to him? The thought that some * helping hand was near inspired him. j: With this new courage to aid, he i dived for the third time. The voice was nearer?clearer?when he came up, c and he heard every word. 3 "Put your arm around his neck!" one man cried. ^ j "Catch him by the scruff of the c neck!" cried another. 1 Billy's self-possession returned. He would follow this direction. The Skip- 1 per swam anxiously to him. It may 1 be that he wondered what this new attitude meant. It may be that he hoped reason had returned to the boy?that ir at last he would allow himself to be saved. Billy caught the dog by the ti scruff of the neck when he was within {1 arm's length. The Skipper wagged his tail and turned about. There was a brief pause, during which the faithful eld dog determined upon the direction he would take. He espied the punts, which had borne down with all speed. Toward them he swam, and there was something of pride in his mighty strokes, something of exultation in his whine. BiPy struck out with his free hand, and soon boy and dog were pulled over the side of the nearest punt Through it all, as Billy now knew, the dog bed only wanted to save him. That night Billy Topsail took the Skipper aside for a long and confidential talk. "Skipper," said he, "I beg your pardon. You see, I didn't know what 'twas you wanted. I'm sorry I ever had a hard thought against you, and I'm sorry I tried to drown you, When I thought you only wanted to save yourself, 'twas Billy Topsail you were thinking of.
