He had gone perhaps thirty feet when he was suddenly brought to a standstill. He had literally got to the end of his rope. His breath was coin ing in gasps, for nearly one minute of th2 few he might expect te live had al ready expired. As he stood there, caught like a rat in a trap, he felt that life at the most could last but one or two minutes. Somewhere in the hold with him was a fellow being who might save him, but how reach him? He could not move a hand or foot tc save himself. There could be no heli: from the surface, because up there th~ey kaew nothing of his horrible pre dieamnent, and he Was powerless to no tify them. He stood thus for perhaps ten see onds, every one of which was an eter nity.- Then his eyes chanced to fall upon an object on the deck stretched out in an obsc-ure corner. From where he stood it lookd~ !!ke the legr of a man. Eagerly stra iin forward, Moran threw himself on his face and reached for the object. Had he had two inches less of rope he could not have done it, but as it was he grasped the heel of his companion's iron soled boot and gave a mighty tug. The other diver happened to be lying on his side doing a piece of work hE could get at in no other way. He has tily scrambled over to Mor-an and, plac ing his Le.met aanst the other's, asked what the trouble was. By thus placing their copper- helmets together divers are able to talk freely with each othcr in any de-pth. of water. Moran told his friend that his hose was jammed by the batch and that he was gettin~g no0 air whatever. The oth cr's comnuunication with the surface was of course~ unim paired, and he Im med-ia~t x-y .;no d to have the hatch remoavedl. i k the-n drew his knife and stoodl ready to cut Moran's life line and air hos' in case the hatch w-as not re muoved quick enough to afford relief. It was a moment of dramatic horror. Moran toid his comp~aion that he could perhaps live two more minutes on the air already in his helmet. The two agreed that they would waft one minute for the removal of the hatch. If at the end of that time relief did not come, the other diver was to sever Mo ran's lfe line and hose and start with him to the surf'ace. It was a slender chance for Moran, - - but it was the only one he had. With~ the cutting of the air hose the water would flood the helmet. There wasa bare chance, however, that he wou ldl not be so badly drowned and asphyxi ated but that he oud be rneusitted as the secoia sped Moran stood and watched thc superabundance of air bubbling from the top of his friend's helmet. Every one of those bubbles re!pre-sented a draft of good oxygen, for the need of which his life was fast ebb!ig. As the minute waned his knees trembled, his breath came pain fully and in his ears a thousand bells were pealing. The moment came at last. Feeling that it was folly to hang on a second longer, Moran told his companion to cut, and in the same instant a flood of fresh sweet air filled his helmet. The hatch had been removed in tho very nick of time. AVjvT'S SPIIIT HA V.VTS GIRL E.xt-fraordinary Hallcinations f Child In the City of JVaples. Naples at the present time is In a high state of excitement concerning a girl named Dmilia Dinacci, who has re cently become subject to extraordinary hallucinations. She declares that wher ever she goes she is accompanied by the spirit of her deceased aunt, who only leaves her when her niece is talk ing to strangers, though the presence of any member of the family makes no difference to the aunt at all. Emilia Dinacci says her aunt will sometimes appear sitting, sometimes standing, clothed now In dark robes and now in many colored garments. She talks freely with the niece, and her voice is clear, though harsh. Emilia can never get quite close to the aunt. Once she tried, and the aunt boxed her ear, the sound of the blow being distinctly heard by the mother, who was present. On one occasion the aunt asked the niece if she was hungry, and, Emilia replying in the affirmative, a tray ap peared bearing a chicken, of which Emilia ate with perfect satisfaction. Emilia has also been passing out pins and needles through her arms on INN' nm SPrITr STRtUCKt DIILIA. various occasions, though she is utterly unable to explain how they got Into her system. She has been examined by Professor d'A:nici with the Roentgen rays to discover where the pins were con cealed, but the professor cannot ex plain whence they come nor how they got into her. He suggests that she should be hypnotized, In which state she may possibly be able to explain the mystery. A Female Bandit. A cowboy desperado recently arrest ed in Luella, Neb., proved to be a wom an. She confessed that four of her six companions in the band were women. The crimes of which they are accused Include cattle stealing, train robbery and the murder of a Sioux Indian. The woman denies that she took part in any of these acts and says she was compelled to join the band a few months ago. Since that time she says she has had to take part In several at tempts at stealing cattle and that she was threatened with death If she tried to escape.

Louis, E. Ho< ZVRjVE7 A-T THE rTAXE. Terrible Fate of a young Man Who Wa-r Captured by a Band of Indianx. In the days when the diligence, or stagecoach, started from Paso del Nor te to go to Chihuahua there were three points of great danger along the trail, one of which was Candelleria, or the Candle mountain pass, says Colonel Jack Crawford. the one time noted scout. Here lurked a band of Indians under Victoria aid Nana, most notori ous of the Masseellerro and Apa: .e In dians. These chiefs were reckoin;d the most bloodthirsty and cruel of an. that infested the border at that time. One night as we neared the pass on the way to Chihuahua it w:is piteb dark. I rode in advance of tn( coach. The only passenger was a twemx.y-two year-old young man named Pu;:1: from St. Louis. The diligence was drawn by old fashioned mule teams. A typical cocherro, or driver. named 1'0 o Au gustan hell the lines. Ie was a genu ine Castilian. Beside Ped:o ro .e the .lamibeau boy, with his pipe stie!:s and resin. Soon I saw signs of Indians and rode back to warn the driver. Before I reached the diligence a rifle cracked, and one of the lead mules fell dead. The filambeau boy lighted his resin torch to see what was the matter. The mules, all afright, became tnn gled in the harness. We all were at sea as to where the deadly bullet came from. Then came from directly before us a screech of infernal yells, often read about, but rarely heard. We knew the Indians, while not advancing, were going to wait to see which way we would go. "Put out the flame," I called quickly to the boy. "Quit your team and get your rifle, Pedro," I exclaimed to the driver, and I ordered Pugh, the only passenger, to hide in the shadows be hind the rocks. It was useless to try to go farther, as the Indians bad set an ambuscade for us. "Pedro," I said, "we'll stand them off. We can kill them. It's our only chance." I hid my horse in the shad ows, told Pedro to get a mule, ordered the boy to get another and told Pugh to do likewise. But poor Pugh became dazed with fright, and Insteadp 4%. Ing back to shelter he rt.inMed ahead of t j9o'es,and str-.Cut into the arms of the Indian runners. With a storm of hideous yells the redskins danced about the captive. We did not see Pugh run away in the dark, and the first we knew of his capture was when we heard his screams rising above those of the demons who caught him. We three who remained fell back to ward Los Toncas, hearing as we re treated the unearthly, demoniacal yells of the Apaches and the heartbreaking cries of the young man. Attempt at rescue was useless. We never could have helped the poor boy. We could hear his screams as they tortured, mu tilated and burned his body.

"Hermie!" How Herman did hate to go! He was setting up a little wate wheel in the ditch, and it was the greatest trial to leave It. "Ilermie!" Suddenly Herinle remem bered what father had said to him. "Take good care of your mother, Her man, for she is sick and nervous, and any excitement may upset her." Ile dropped the windmill and ran to the porch, where mother was calling. "Hermie," said mother in a worried tone, "look off there toward the rail road track. Do you see that smoke? That ought not to be there." Herman looked. "It's only a little grass, mother, burning along the track. That's all right," he urged, eager to get back to the water wheel. "Oh, but, Herinie, please go down and see that there isn't anything wrong." begged mother. ".And, Hermie, don't get hurt," she added in fresh ter ror. "All ri;ht, mother; I'll see to it," he answered cherrily and started off to ward the track. First he ran to please his mother; then lie walked; then as the flames came into sight lie began to run again. What was it? No grass fire along the track could look like that. The long wooden bridge was burning. and in five minutes the train would be due. "What shall I do'" panted poor Her mie as he hurried up the steep railroad gi'ade. "I must wave a red flag." But he had nothing with which to flag the train. For a moment he stood; then suddenly he pulled off his red blouse and waved it vigorously at the speck which approached in the dis tance. The engineer caught sight of the dancing little figure that waved the red blouse so frantically and brought the train to a standstill. The train men came clambering down to fight the fire. The passengers fol lowed after, and the very first to come out of the car was Hermie's father. "Oh, what would have happened if I had not come quickly when mamma called me?" said Herman, with a shud der. It was a happy boy that went back to his water wheel with enough money in his pocket to buy a steam engine that _would really run.-Exchange. The-LElder Sister. A hen came off ie nest with one chicken. She was a very and did not waste too much time on that one. When she thought it was old enough to look after itself she went to laying again. The chicken would go with her to the nest, and when the time for sitting on the eggs came the patient little creature assisted in that process too. When the brood was hatched she followed with It, and after a few weeks of this life the practical mother turned the family over to the elder sister nd again went about what she considered her chief business in life-to lay eggs. It was a novel sight to see the half grown chicken taking care of the brood. She did her best to imitate the mother, scratching and trying to cluck, but making a strange noise. The little chickens followed her contentedly and seemed to forget all about the mother. An Astonishing Boy. It is not a common thing for a boy's mind to be fixed with any remarkable degree of intensity upon the duty of a prompt arrival at school, but there are exceptions to all rules, and little Ray mond Scott is one of these exceptions. HIls story appears in the Philadelphia Inquirer as follows: Seven-year-old Raymond Scott of 317 Warren avenue, Camden, had a remarkable escape from a locomotive yesterday m'orning at Haddon avenue station as he was on his way to school. The boy ran across the tracks directly in front of an Atlantic City express. The engine's pilot struck him, and he rolled over and over for thIrty feet. WXhcn picked up, the train crew was astounded when Raymond said: "Where are my books? Hlurry up, or I'll be late." Getting an Egg In China. An English traveler who has visited every nation in the world Is authority for the statement that one~ food is uni versal throughout all countries, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. "There is not a part of the world," he says, "where you cannot get an egg." While in western China, however, he at first had some difficulty in getting even eggs. The nai ;es could not un derstand him and refused to recognize the pictures he drew as pictures of eggs. "The way I got out of the diffi culty," he adds, "was that I squatted down on my haunches, flapped my wings and cock-a-doodle-dooed until the entire nation grasped what I want ed, and I was simply deluged with hundreds of eggs." Where Chops Come From. Sadie was eleven and Alice was sev en. At lunch Alice said: "I wonder what part of an animal a chop is. Is i( a leg?" "Of course not," answered Sadie. "It's the jawbone. Haven't you ever heard of animals licking their chops?" -Little Chronicle. A Child's Bargain. Love me. mother, and I'll be good Good as any small child should; Let your kiss fall on my brow, And then I'll be good somehow. "Love me. mother." that's my song, For 'tis but for love I long; Let me rest my cheek 'gainst thine; Love me, mother, mother mine. Love me as the day is long; 'Twill be my guard against all wrong, And when last I close mine eyes 'Twill lead me, mother, through the skies. --Mildred Hansen. Dizzy ?
