Judging by the way this article is inserted, it appears to have been wrilteu by some one connected with the paper, prompted by an outsider who has not the courage to write over his own signature and bear the sting of public disapproval that must follow after the printing of such an article aa the one referred to. The Cumberland football team came ..hete.on Feb. 7th to play a game for the intermediate championship, and while here were treated in the most royal manner, in fact, as well as any body of spores could desire. After the game-there was not a single one of the -players who had a word of complaint to offer against the treatment they received from the referee, or that they had in any way been treated mif.'ir at any could1 have caused them on their return home to Cumberland to 1 have published in the newspaper statements which they themselves knew to be misleading and untrue. It is news to, us to hear from the writer of this obnoxious article that this is not tlie first time that' Mr. Adam has made himself notorious1 by his unsportsmanlike conduct as a football referee,' and would like the5 intelligent .man whoever he may be to inform us whenever be- f r fore, the decisions of Mr. Adam were I ^ r - > K abused _o much ason this present occasion.. We wTish everyone to know that Mr. Adam has always referxed in a most, ^upright manner, that he has referred most of the games here for the past number of years and has always' given satis- faction to both parties concerned (* .

It did tl / not begin'on the day of lhe fight, as thoy ' - , say. It-,began years ago, when lit _to and "r- Jose were little boys and before J use wcnt.to the town to live. It was due to . the jealousy which Jose had for Koato. '. My boy may have been at fault some- - -times. m No one is all perfect. But the , main fault, lay with Jose. He was jealous because he was not so big and strong as Reato, and, later, when they grew old- ���������- ei\ he was jealous of Iteato's good looks. ' '" It was that which caused it all at last, 1 for it was that which 6rst caused Reato to win the favor of Estal'anie. ' "Even if I, his father, do say it,* there is no handsomer or braver youth in the mountains than Reato. And lieato rhas enjoyed the good things which have come to me. When he'went to the town to . . take care of my business," there was no one who could surpass him. "So it was' that he attracted the attention of Estafanie when he passed ��������� the " home of hor father.' She saw him, and < ;from the first she favored- hiin. *' Reato <������������������'���������' .did not know her then,, but'he saw her at the window, and her. beauty aroused the love withiu'hitn. Ho did1 not leave the town until he found out who she was,,and when he was told that'she was * " the daughter of the alcalde he was in no - * way disheartened,'for he kuew'that my - '��������� position was such that'he was the equal '' , ; of the alcalde's daughter. ��������� . /'From that time lieato went into town much'. He frequented the, homes of- those he knew and who were known to \ me, and there he met Estafanie. In'a o little time it was plain that the love he felt for the girl was returned by her, and, though nothing had been said, I knew that the time of theuAvedding was not ' far off, for I had spoken with the alcalde and had found that he was willing , that his daughter should marry my son. "But at that time came the first sign of 1 the trouble which is ending now, for . *- .. what .we did not know at-first soon became plain, and that was that Jose also . ��������� desired the girl for his wife. He had known her ever since he had gone to the ��������� "'��������� town from the mountains, aud, though he ; had said nothing, he had made up his "' ' mind that she should be his. So when - Reato came and found favor in her eyes tne 'old anger and jealousy were roused stronger than ever in Jose. "Matters stood in this wise for some time. Reato had made up' His mind to say nothing to Estafanie until after the great bullfight in holy week. He had been made el capitan of the banderilleros for the great fight. That, you know, is a high honor for 'a youth like Reato, for among the banderilleros under him were men y:\xo had served as toreadors and , who had much reputation in the districts from which they came. But Reato, > though he has never yet been a toreador, had won a name for himself as a ban- derillero by the daring he had always shown when he was in the ring. So they raade him el capitan. "All this only stirred up the more the bad feeling in Jose's heart. , There was no chance for him to win honor and glory in the great fight, for ho had never fought in the riug and his nature was one that made him resort more to subtle tricks than to open fights. "At last came the day of the great (light and of the trouble which followed. The benches were filled long before even the little fights, for everyone was anxious to have a good place from.which to see the groat event. W.e from the mountains were there. More than 200 of us had places together, for we had come together and purchased our seats at the same time. It was all by chance or by the plan of the good God, for the fact that we all sat together was the.only thing that saved the life of Reato. '.'. . "I don't know how the little fights came out. We paid no attention to them, and what camo afterward made us forget 'what little we did see. At last came the great fight. . The bull was one of, the finest I ever saw. He was a monster and a gray one^_ specially selected, for you know that "gray ones fight the best. "As they opened the door of his pen and he came into thp ring, Reato, at the head of his banderilloros, stood opposite. The bull pawed the earth and looked around. Reato advanced and waved his crimson cloak, flaunting it even into the bull's eyes. Then tho. great boast sprang for him, but Reato was quick and-leaped to one side and as the bull sprang past him planted two of the barbed darts in his shoulder. "It was the first blow of the fight, and the crowd in the benches cheered, and we from the mountains cheered most of all. "The other banderilleros came forward r<> attack tlie Inil in then* turn, bin lloau- ordered thorn back, for be wa������ !if>! ye throng'1. This was whore lie made a i:*is :**k*'. for ir routed the jealousy of s<-r. o of lhe banderillero-*. and the tcwuepeople took tl.o'.r side, for they are always j.*.il ous of us from .the mountains. "Again ��������� lieato advanced against th" bn'1. and again, after he had angered him until it seemed as though the great beast was insane did he drive more darts in t!;e {rreat gray sides. Rut he did hot, do this without much danger to himself, for he let the bull charge **o close.to him that' as he finally leaped to one side the horns of the crazed animal caught his jacket at the shoulder and tore, it eiear to the edge. ���������"Airaiu a_d**a__in did lieato face the ball, and each lime lie escaped after lie had diivon mure of his little spears into the animaT:-. .sides. The glory which tiny had planned to ".win for themselves was ail gone to Ileat'o. , , '' "At la.st Reato had so exhausted the great bull that the toreador. was called in quickly, for it was plain that .unless he came then he would have little to do. Reato had so exhausted the animal that there was little left, and instead of tlie fight being one between the toreador and the bull it had really, been one between the capitan of the banderiileros' and the bull. "Finally the toreador came. He let his horse be gored by the bull, though he need not have done it., and then plunged his'sword, lo the hilt in the -rreat 'beast's nectt. It was a good stroke, and it do- served the praise and applause that it brought. y r , ' "But with the end of the fight came the final trouble. As>they wore dragging out v-the body of the .bull and the people weie leaving their places a crowd of rho boys of the town began to shout insults at Reato. .They were angry, owith him be;- , cause he was from, the mountains and had won the great glory of the day. taking it from the men from the-districts in the valley. They would uot havo done as they did had it uot been for .lose, "for it was plain to all that he had set them ' up to it and was in this way trying to take a revenge upon Reato. "For a time Reato, full of his victory, paid no attention to the shouts of the boys, but at last one of them fluns'a clod at him. At that Reato turned and. caleh- ,ing the boy by ,the shoulder, shipped his face and as he did so-said: ( "* "Take that .toe thy sneaking master and teuMiim'that he has only to meet me to receive it, direct!' c ��������� "The boy rail away, and the other boys followed him. ��������� ��������� ' . "We from the mountains thought uo more about the matter, and we went to <the inn, where we had food and wine. It became ni'e to act the host to the others from the mountains.' for they wore all friends of Reato. So it was that it was after sunset when 'we 'started*- upon our journey, to Lou'r~ homos. There had'been ,no more insults to Reato, and none of us feaied trouble-as we set out. . 1 "We had gone ,beyond the town per- ' haps'three, miles and were where the road r passes through the first cut in tho rock, lieato and I'were a'little'behind, for our ponies were walking more slowly than those of the others... There was no thought of danger in our mind, when suddenly 1 heard a step' behind mo. 1 turned just in time to see a knife flash1' in an upraised hand. I tried to ward off the blow, but I was too late, and it struck mo in the side. It did not kill, as it bad been intended, but it made a long gash, and I fell from my pony. ���������'Almost as the blow was given Reato turned and saw it. He saw, too, what I saw���������that "the man who struck it was Jexo." With a shout he sprang after the fellow', but Jose turned and (led down the road. Reato kept on in pursuit. ' . "I called, and some of the men ahead heard and came back. When thoy saw m. covered with blood and I told them" wl.nt had happened, thoy' followed after Reato as fast as ihoir ponies could carry' thr-m. They hoped ro overtake Jose he- fore he had gone far because both ho and Reato were on foot. ' "But he must have fled with great speed or the pursuit must have been slow, for they were nearly to the town whon thoy saw a group of meu ahead of them. S.'ine of thorn weie friends of Jose and some were the police* whom they had summoned... In the center of the group w.is lieato, whom they had made a prisoner. The reason for it was plain, for, on the ground was Jose, dead, and with Ilea to's knife beside him. "Jose's friends were insisting that Reato should be given up to them, but the police were taking him away whon our men camo ep. They knew that there would bo no justice for a mountain man in the town. and iht-y knew. too. lluit Jose deserved the death which Reato had meted out to him, for hail he not tiied to strike down lieato from behind and wounded m. by mistake? So they.ehised in on the police and lhe friends of Jose. The former they seized and held. The latter they boat and drove away. Then they took Reato and brought him to me, and all of us fled to the mountains. "And that '.is. why. you cannot see lieato now. The men in town aro making much trouble because of their envy and hatred. Thoy demand that he be given up to them for trial, but we will not do it. Cor we know that there is no fairness among them. They showed that by their actions after the great fight. "So now Reato is away. He will not come back until all the trouble is over. That will not be long, and if you will remain with us you shall see him when he comes. If you cannot stay, as you say. then I will send for you. for he wants you to be present at his wedding to Estafanie, which is to take place as soon as he comes back. I have seen the alcalde, and it is all arranged. They aro to live here in the mountains with me, and, as I am growing old. Reato will soon ��������� take my place. There will be no trouble about Jose. That, too. is arranged. In a few days all will bo right and 1 will send for you."���������Chicago Tribune. A Spellbound Peacock. There is a jungle tradition in India that, tigers and /leopards have an ophidian p wer of fascinating peacocks. A rocoui occurrence shows both that this idea has taKcn nrm noia among tlie people and that it has some foundation. Colonel Tytler while stalking a peacock was .surprised to find that he could come very near' to the bird, which, indeed, seemed not to notice him at, all, but kept.its eyes fixed on a thicket near by. Looking in the same direction, he presently saw a leopard -creep stealthily, on its belly, out of the thicket. He aimed his gun at the beast, but was startled almost out of his wits when the leopard^1 raised a fore paw and cried in a voice of terror: "Don't shoot, sahib! Don't shoot!" The man in the leopard's skin explained that-he always hunted ��������� peacocks in such guise ami that he nor only always succeeded in getting within bowshot, but had ' frequently caught birds with his hands. , ,, Fainting;.

' - DEATH AT. A'WEDDING. ___________ , , A Pathetic Tragedy of tlie War Be- ' i , tween the States.' Recalling tbe histor.. incidents clustering about South Carolina's executive mansions-Mrs. ,Thaddeus Horton writes in The Ladies' Home ^Journal of the shocking tragedy tbat occurred there toward tbe close oi the war. This was the.death of tbe daughter of Gov-, ernor-Pickens immediately after her marriage to . Lieutenant Le. Rochelle. "On tbe afternoon preceding tbe evening of the marriage the northern army began shelling Columbia, but preparations'for the w'edding continued. h ' a "Finally the guests were all assembled, and the clergyman was proceeding with the solemn ceremony and had -just joined the ri_������it hands of tbe happy pair when suddenly there wus an awful crash, and a ball from the enemy's , cannon , penetrated the mansion/- and burst In the middle of the marriage chamber, scattering ' its death dealing missiles in 'every direction. There were screams and a heartrending groan, r mirrors crashed, the bouse shook, women "fainted and walls rocked to and fro. "'When the first confusion was over. It was discovered tbat in all the .crowd only one" person was' injured, and that was the bride herself. She lay partly on the floor and 'partly in her .lover's arms, crushed and* bleeding, pale, but very.beautiful, her bridal gown drenched with warm-blood and? great cut in her breast. . ' c ', .-, "Laying her on a lounge, the frantic bridegroom besought her by every term of tenderness and endearment to allow the ceremony to proceed, to which she weakly, gave consent, and. lying like a crushed flower no less white than the camellias of her bridal bouquet, her breath coming in short gasps and the blood flowing from this great, angry wound, she murmured 'yes' to the clergyman and received her husband's first, kiss. A ' moment more and all was over. "She was laid to rest under the magnolias, and the heartbroken bridegroom, reckless with despair, returned to his regiment." < ' tion in'small beginnings am. plodding and tbey wait for success ready mndt to come to them.

PETER'S. th<* CHEAP SPONGES. Where Those Sold by the Street Fakir. Are Procured. Sponges sold by the street fakir are rather captivating in appearance, large and almost white.'and tbe price ranges from 5 to 10 cents each. People wti'o have bought sponges at a. drug store know tbat no such looking articles can be got there for so little money, and so they invest. But thoy don't invest more than once, because the sponge soon falls to pieces, whereas a good sponge will last for years. Somebody "started a story years ago that the reason the fakirs could sell these sponges so cheaply was because they bought them from the hospitals, and there are some people who still believe it. As if men devoting all their energies and skill to ameliorating the ills of mankind would spread disease by distributing old and possibly germ infected sponges. As a matter of fact surgeons' sponges are small and smooth-as. velvet, being close grained. The fakirs"sponges are the clippings off .the big sponges sold to liverymen arid others who need large sponges.. The parts cut away have little, body and would soon tear loose.

They are, bleached, in other words, but at still further detriment to the sponge. Never of close texture, the mesh is made more rotten by the acid, and that is why tbey soon fall apart.

Not long -ago Mr. Johnson chanced to be in Porter's drug- store, in Bridgewater, when a case of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was being opened, and he remarked to the clerk : "1 saw the time when a dozen boxes of thoss pills wore of more value to me than the best gold mine in the country." A reporter of the Enterprise happened to hear Mr.*3 Johnson's rather startling remark and asked "why he spoke so highly of, the pills. Mr. Johnson's statement was as follows: "About four years ago I was "attacked 'with la grippe which kept me from work about three ;weeks. I did not have it vory hard apparently,-but it left me weak all the same. Anyhow, after losing /three' weeks I concluded to*; go' to work again. The mine I. was. working in was making a good deal of ws.ter and'1������ got wet tho first day. That night ' the old trouble came back, with tho addition of a severe cold. I managed to, get rid of the cold, but the whole force of'the disease' settled-in my stomach, kidneys and joints, and. bqils broks out on my body and limbs. My back was so weak I could- scarcely "stand alone, while food in every form distressed me, and I became so nervous that any unusual noise would .overcome'me. . I, tried several ,sorts of medicine, but none, seemed to do any good. I went to 'see a doctor. His "medicine helped me at first,-but after a sbtort time lost its effect. He then changedVthe medicine, but with . no bolter result. About this time , a, clergyman-who called at the house advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got a box and used them, but they did ' not materially benefit me. I had been'now some weeks idle and "was feeling desperate. A 'friend strongly, advised me to go to a hos- pitaP for. treatment and I had- just about decided to do so when* an acquaintance learning' I had taken but .one box of the pills", suggested that I shauld try "three,, boxes more before giving * them" up. The matter of money decided me on' trying the pills again. I got' three boxes * and when used I. was jguite a bit_ improved, could eat light, nutritious food, slept better, and felt noticeably stronger. But J was still an unwell man; As the' ��������� pills were doing a good work, however, I sent for-eightboxes more. I continued using them till all were gone, when I felt that T -was restored to health. All my stomach trouble had disappeared, 1 was fully as fleshy as before the first attack of la grippe, my nerves were solid as ever, and I knew that' work would give strength to my muscles. So, after about six months, I went to work again and have not had a sick day since. One dozen boxes of < Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my lit". and gave me better health since than I had before, and that is why I said they were worth more to me than any gold mine, for all that a man ha* he will givo for his life."

'An emigrant ship lies iu the basin, o* the eve of departure fox -Australia.

And the atiier group, now eagerly ' crowding to the side of the ship, as she 'weighs her anchor and ' prepares to ' glide out into the river'. That resolute old lady, who, though ' seated' in an invalid clmir, which she " urges along by the use of a crn'tehed stick, oi'dcis about such of tlie ship's , crew who impede 1 er way with the imperativeness of a" "admiral of -the White and _h:_? or of any other color , thai is ceu--.d.i_d; best to represent .nautical d ."*.���������, :i li y- , This imporr: m. p"_.-son is Mrs. Bessie Mathewes, who, upon Silas' intimation' ���������" of his intention to leztve England, has resolved'not to.be left behind. ��������� "All countries'are the same to me," she->said, "as long as they speak the * ��������� .English .language.

I'll settle them, poor creature., savage or civiti_ed-" At the preselit moment she is cng.iged in rating her -faithful bond-slave, Euph- emia Griskin, who, never having seen ships or sailors before, is wal.hi.ig, in open-mouthed ' wonder, ' those active g-entlemon -swarming up iadde-'s, and ��������� ffccklessly suspending Uiemscives from ropes, like-a crowd'of ft-alt-water'nia���������i- _cs bent upon jovial suicide.

Silas' List glance is upon Maud, as she rests upon the arm of lier husband, and 'he blesses them both from his innermost heart. ��������� ��������� "For a woman's sake I would have ���������died,"' he said, half aloud, as tightening tlie embrace that helcl_>ai--.y's d:rnty -waist, he looked down into the, flower- like face, which took its sunlight from _is own.

Typhus fever is fortunately very rare in this country at the present day, although we even yet hear occasionally of cases in our large cities during the winter season. It used to prevaihexteusively in Ireland, and epidemics were often started in American seaport towns by importation of the disease in emigrant ships. It is .aid still to exist in Dublin, Liverpool and London, to some extent, but Mexico is now its chief stronghold. Many cases occur every winter in the City of Mexico and elsewhere on the great central plateau of Mexico, and sometimes tourists from this country catch itr there and bring it home with them. The disease usually begins suddenly in the midst of apparent health with a chill, prostration, severe pain in the head and limbs and high fever; the pulse is rapid, the face flushed/the skin hot,and dry, the mouth parched. 'An almost constant symptom is nosebleed, which occurs on the third or fourth day of the disease, ���������aid another is constipation. Tho disease has a characteristic eruption which in the beginning resembles somewhat that of measles. - It comes out in patches of a.reddish or pink color, first oti the'chest and then on the rest of, the body, and the limbs. 'Later the color. changes to a dusky purple. ' > .l The nervous symptoms are marked. They consist at first of headache and dizziness, but soon the patient falls into a stupor fi;om which he can be amused only with difficulty or,'else'he becomes delirious, muttering constantly to,himself in a ; dull, confused, way or perhaps becoming violent "and having to be restrained by force from doing himself injury. The affection, is probably a ,germ disease, although the microbe, if there is one, has not yet been discovered, lt is pre-eminently a disease of human crowding, as the old names of, ship fever and 'jail fever testify. Q It cannot* thrive in ihe open air and is'never to be feared by those whose dwellings are flooded .with fresh air and sunlight. Even those already seized with the fever are not infrequently saved if moved out of the hospital ward or bedroom and kept in tents or actually in the* open air with only a shelter supported ou poles over the bed- ��������� . There"is no.specific remedy "for the disease, ' which" is a very fatal one. Open' air, cleanliness and good nursing are the uatient's only salvation.*���������Youth's Companion. y7 UNEXPECTED GAME. ��������� . .. ,.. lint Sot as Enjoyable as One WcnlcT i Have lilked., i *��������� *- Thoy were talking about hunting in the suburban smoker, and one man" who had been listening thoughffully said: "I killed a bear once." , ���������'' "You V" There was a chorus of incredulity^ '"Yes. It happened when I was younger than I -am now. I was living in a prairie town not a hundred'miles from Chicago and was accustomed to take early morning rides through the only piece of* woods on the prairie, a grove of respectable size, but to me then a veritable forest. "One morning I had a surprise. My horse began to snort and rear, and as I approached the track of the only railroad in the town I saw the cause of the disturbance���������a bear was browsing along the tracks on the edge of the woods, a live bear, and as it saw me' it aiood up on its hind legs, frightening my horse into fits. As I had no weapon of any kind, I decided quiekry. to go home and get a gun. ���������"Now, I did not believe that the bear would sit down and wait to be killed, but that is exactly what he did, and after I shot it a friend happened along and helped me get him on the horse and carry him home. What we two did uot know about bears would fill volumes.' but we knew enough to skin the unwieldy animal, and then I went to the leading butcher of the place and made a"sale.of the carcass, a whole bear not being available in my bachelor menage. "The man said bear'smeat was a great luxury and just now was very scarce. "I inquired about the game laws aud .found I bad not broken them, and then we helped the ,butcher fix up a placard for his window. It read. 'Young Dear Steak Today.' "I felt quite proud of my adventure; also somewhat surprised at lhe ease with- which I had bagged such bi������ game, but the next day I bad another Surprise. My friend was looking for me, while with excitement. " 'Say,' he began, 'do you remember the Frenchman who went through here one day last summer?'. "A horrible fear caught me. 'Do you mean the man who had the dancing bear?' "'The same, and it was his bear you killed. It strayed back.here a day or two ago. and he is here on its tracks' "And the nuii-<!.y olil animal .was now posing as 'young bear steak.' I settled the matter with the butcher, and my friend hid the pelt, and we both had urgent business in Chicago, and that was my first and last bear hunt."���������Chicago Times-I-Ierakl. 123,000 people are killed every year in this country by CONSUMPTION.

Eiff Money Is Made by the Sale of Dis-Cftr-led. , or YVo.nout Material. Some TIiir������j__ Wliieh Are Not Worth tlie Trouble of Saviny. , , Inventors of all classes most truly illus,- trate thp truth of the old saw'that men rise on tthe stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things. These/men are at once the delight and the dread of great railroad systems. No sooner does '-one niagniGcent locomotive place a- railroad at the front of civilization's line' of advance than a better t-nghu* comes along, and proudly plows it into lhe'waste pile." Admired and advertised today, the new locomotive is sold tomorrow- to a logging road ami thereafter groans out its time on steep grades under loads that make Us round feet slip on' the rusty rails. What is true of the engine is true of the rail., of the ties __id.r the rails' and of the fastenings that hold them together. The statement of the purchasing agent' for the New ,York Central makes this fact of railroad wastage most'graphic, lie said, "We receive over $1,000,000 a year for the waste" material of our 3.000' miles of track.", He got out his book and afier goiug over it carefully added, "Yes, we get an average of $100,000 a month." On this basis all'the railroads of the United States-would dispose, of about 1 SliO.OOO.OOO of wastage every*year. The theory and practice of economy therefore'' are an important part of arrailroad man's education. ��������� , '"',-' ' "Wecould save more than we _o,7**con- th'iuVd the agent, "but often it would cost uiofe than,a dollar to-save'.a dollar's' worth of material.- Toone not' familiar 'with'.railroading it might look''like pure waste, to let the dollar's wortli^of material be lost, but nothing is worth saving unless it will sell for more than it costs to save it. It is op this theory that we pay no attention to stubs'of pencils ancl to empty ink bottles, short lamp nicks and trifles of that class, although V have heard that some systems do save them. "As we get most of our ink fromone concern, we'could-perhaps get some re*r hate by returning the bottles, but the .saving would not justify itself. Broken lamp chimneys, oh the other, hand, are another proposition. Many, of these are of flint glass, and we save the pieces, lt is surprising, how .many glass globes*.and article.*, of good glass are brokeu among our thousands *of etnploj'ees. Every month we, gather up the fragments and sell'the mass to the glass" men ,for one- l'ou'rth of a cent a pound. <" l ' ' "Every scrap of iron that farts by the wayside, every bit of iron bored out in drilling holes, every broken bolt, old rail and "old hinge is, saved, and sold ,when there Ms.t-bulk enough. This" material amounts to hundreds/ of thousands of "pounds * monthly. ' The -iron waste is gathered easily and practically without cost.," The borings'are swept up' in1 the repair- houses and factories in the mere operation of keeping the places in order. As for iroij that drops from trains on the road, the section (hands pick that up as they chance to see it, loss it* on their handcars and let it accumulate at Their section house. WheD there is enough to make it worth while, a train takes it to market. "Empty barrels, carboys, pieces of rope, scraps of* gold leaf. u*-ed for lettering, sections of rubber hose, rubber cloth and such things have a market value that makes them worth saving. The chief items of saving are in the heavy articles. We get about .*. 2r*.00U a year for discarded ties. These ties are of yellow pine, and when cut into short blocks make a splendid fire. Some of the best people of this city use them in their old fashioned tin-places. We sell theMies for a dime each, and they a."e cheap fuel at that. rWe cannot afford to haul them to market from the distant places on thi; line, and what the fanners and section men there do not want to take free we burn up to get them out of the way. Thefts of material from the roadside are so trifling as to be not worth considering. "Rails come next to ties in value. The best and heaviest rails must be used on the main lines all the time. Many rails are retired from th" main line while still good for lighter service. These are often placed on side tracks. Often a rail that is of no value to us at all is good enough for some road using lighter locomotives, or on"some backwoods logging road, and so it goes to another master, serving until finally, worn out, when it finds its way to the melting pot, to begin life again, perhaps as'a1 rail, but more likely in some other form. ' , ' ' < . "The greatest loss in operation is in the ��������� locomotives and cars. There as so many new types of engine*; and cars that it is impossible to-toll fairly what they cost. I������nt for the purpose of showing waste we will strike an average. A new en cine -costs from $12,000 to $15,000.* and will ' last about ,15 years by being shifted ,from the'main line to side lines and switches. In' the end it is sold for about $2,000 or $-1,000. according to condition.' It may be utterly unfit for our work "and yet be of value to some smaller road, or to some factory for shunting cars among warehouses. Often, however, an engine, ad-, , tnally'wears out in our service, and-then it goes directly into the melting pot. On,' every engine there will be certain parts that are not worn, and the old machine is carefully dismantled 'of all valuable material before it is sold'as scrap. "Old cars are' passed along tbe line in much, the, same way. A new- passenger coach costs about '$2.(.M)0 and after 25 years of service will bring about* $N00. A new freight car will cost from $050 to -,'$700 and will sell after-'IF* or 20 years' service for about $1">0" New'cars are always of 'the latest pattern. They, are used at first on the best trains and asv they become antiquated are retired to humbler service until their final use with ns is in construction, trains.1 Mauy, we ���������sell to smaller roads in out of���������the way, places, and many are bought by theat-, rical companies and circuses., When we decide to put o ear into the "scrap pile. ������ we sell to one man'tbe -privilege of ripping, out tbe wood, to "another the pipes,'1" and so,on. until each class of^material-is distributed to^ the trade from which itv, -came originally.".* - -s< * " fl A Pointer.

Tl������������ wife of one John Saunders, an " I/uglishnian who bad died in Buffalo' several years previously, had put' her claims in the hands of a New York lawyer. This Saunders.had been mixed up in a big swindle before leaving1 England.

He was going to do fus out of revenge, but In iny case I had no revenge to grntifv. ! thought it mig"t i*e a good thine to hold over Small wToo*i . as a bluff, however, and I "promised to reward Duff if-anything came of it. In the course of a couple of hours I returned to fhe money lender's'office. He greeted me affably and laughingly said:' "I have heard that you Yankees are a i persistent race, but in thie case you are simnlyc wasting your shoe leather. I suppose,you have come to make a new offer?" ' "' .''',_ , ' - , "I have come about'that Liverpool affair," I replied, and I-went on and stated the nature of his crime and the name he used to sail under.

I do hot care to have the affair stirred up.' I am >will- ing'-r* make a fair financial arrangement with Saunders' widow." That was a, master to be talked over at another meeting. I was a 'given plenty-of reading matter, and the doctor nlayed chess with kip. and tak- ������_ altogether the time did pot pass nn- olpasantly. In the three weeks I was in the house I saw only the doctor and the old woman. At 9 o'clock oue pv>n- incr I was told that my cure was complete and ten minutes later was being driven away from the building in a closed carriage. After an hour's ride I was set down in a street- in Whito- chap*������l. and had I' been backed by all th*1 police of London 1 could uot" have found the house ;where I had been held captive.

I did hot go to the police officially, but I did tell the'story to a 'detective on' .the quiet. How tbey would have regarded it at Seot-flnd' Yard may be judged, from what th������* officer said to' _ne., At tbe end of the .tory he winked and grinned and observed: "What a race of natural born liara you Yankees a������e!"

I found I was right in this. wh< _ I had stared my errand, he laughed in my face and colled me a fool. Between ourselves b������ did not deny the swindle. On the contrary, he boast������*d of the slick Way in which it had been worked. He -had furnished the brains, and John Saunders was the catspaw. He had secured ������19.000 of tbe money and escaped the law, while bis partus- had fled to a foreign land with the remnant and died among stranger*-) "My dear sir," be said as he smiled and rockPd to and fro, "you were a dolt to come on any such errand. You have papers,' but 1 would not give you the price of a dinner for them. 1 am solid, and you can't disturb me. Go to Scotland Yard, go to the attorney, do what yon will, and I shall only laugh at you." _ Neither Scotland Yard nor the attorneys could belp me In the case. While It couldn't be called blackmail, it was nn attempt to squeeze money out of a 6wlndler. Tbe one interview satisfied me that my mission was a failure, and I hade Mr. Smallwood good daj* with as much courtesy as I could assume. It was about luuchtlme when I left his office, and I dropped into a modest restaurant for a light meal. I had scarcely got seated when a stranger who had a seedy-genteel look about him asked permission to take the opposite side of the table, saying he had some information to give me. When we had begun on our meal, be said: "I saw you.leave old Smnllwood's office and followed you. Has he done you a bad turn?" I did not give my case away in replying, but gave him to understand that the money lender had**refused-to ,do the square thing by me. "He's a cur, a cheat, a swindler and all that's mean and contemptible!" continued the stranger, with a good deal of feeling. "He has ��������� cheated and wronged mo. and I can g-������t no satisfaction. Today, however. I, learned of an incident in his past life that will give me n good hold on him. I must go to Liverpool to complete my inforniftJon. if you will go along and'.become-responsible for expenses, I will share the hit sur-,. prised that Smallwood should giv-p in se quickly, but conclude* that the Liverpool affair was rather serious, and' thn+.llke a man of sense he-preferred to part .with a couple of thousand soon- er-J'than have It resurrected. ��������� He (had rooms ovpr bis office, and I was/o sup with him on the next everfing but 6-*������-������ at 8 o'clock, one! the,, matter of restitution would be arranged.

I never saw him* again. -After he had played his part he' vanished. ' , n' When rhiade my third callon Small- wood, I "was cordially received, and while waling for supper to he serv-pd we came to an understanding. He was to give 'me $10,000 for Saunders', wid- o"w, and I was to give him a receipt In -full. He grew sociable aud jolly ���������as the affair was concluded; aud my glas������ was no-sooner "embty than he'pressed 'me to.drink again. "Of a sudden thing* began lo "whirl, and then came a blank. When I recovered consciousness, it was morning, and I was lyingon a;cot bed in a strange room. My head buzzed and racked, my throat was as dry as oappr. and as I rolled out-of bed1 and attempted to stand myt knees ga~e way and let nie down. A strange man cam** to me and talked, and It was given something to d''!nk. but It was late in the afternoon before my brain was clcr enough to nudest. nd things. A.s ' T sat un on the edge ������f the bed and wondered what h������d hanpened and owner. I was a quiet spoken man who had thp look of a doctor entered and sat down beside me and felt my pulse ������ind said- "Yon wjil do now if von keep quiet. T,pt rae <*ay f������~<r your encouragement thflt cases "just ns bad as yours have bem cured In tbr**e months. The great ooint 's to av������-*id excitement." "In the first place, where am I?" I asked. "In Dr. Colwell's orivate lunatic asylum," he replied. "Who brought me here?" "Your friends. The loss of your money In that Peruvian speculation unbal- ".n'-ed your mind. ��������� You will be well cared for here, and if you, aid me as you should your detention will not last over three mouths." "I see how 't is." I said as I looked him straight 'n the eye. "I am indebted to Smallwood .for this. He drugged me and had me brought here that he mi^ht have time lo fix up his affairs r-nd skip. I demand my liberty this instant!" "Come, come." he replied In a coaxing way as<*he patted me on the shoulder. "1 know uo one named Smallwood. Your friends in Beacon street brought you here, and Dr. fler-ry made out the papers. All was perfectly regular. Let us havo no excitement. T>iu- ner will be ready in half an hour. Meanwhile think lt over." In that half hour I figured it out. Smallwood had drugged and abducted me. It might or might not be a private insane asylum, but the man had surely been bribed to hold me fast for a time. If I raised a row, it would be the worse for me. If I remained passive. I would be set at liberty as soon as the money lender left the country. I decided to make the best of things, and when the doctor returned I was very quiet. The two of us ate supper together in a small room and were waited upon by an old woman. He called me Mr. Per- rine, and, according to his talk. I was a member of n mercantile firm in London. Next morning ��������� was taken to walk in a narrow garden surrounded by high walls. I got sight of no other person, nor could I make out what sort of place I was iu.

I- knew it from her actions, and three months after I left ,tho bouse she was caught in a similar offense and owned up to the .first, theft. -However, the. crime was laid off on me/ and* because I made indignant and perhaps impudent protest I was flung out of the house at half an hour's notice and re- fused a character. l,was idle for the ��������� next three months. The first thing demanded when 1 applied for a place was a character. As soon as it was learned that I had 'none it was useless to talk further. It was for this reason that 1 finally paid a fee to an intelligence office in Margate street and was at length sent for to take a place at general housework. It was an old man named Dyson who wanted me. He was will in,, to take me without a character because he would have to pay less wages and because, as he grimly asserted, there was nothing lying around loose in his house for one to steal. As we sat face 'to face I sized him up as mean and penurious, but I did uot see any evil in ft. m. He had an aged and iufirin wife, he told f lone, as he had done tor the last two months, if he medirat-ed anything of that sort. I didn't know the depth of 'his er. ft. however. lie had brought in" there to work her death through me. The first thing 1 sifspicioued this way was one morning when he asked me to belp her down stairs. The stairs were steep and shaky, and he had pried one of the steps loose, that it might slide from under our feet,- As a'matter of fact, it did /give, way. but 1 caught myself and saved the woman. When old Dyson saw the failure of,his .plot, he looked chagrined and savage and presently found excuse for culling the'pooi wif.'s ears. ���������In the course of a couple <of weeks ... ciffeiareu max the cellar was full of rats and gave me money and com-, ruanded me to buy arsenic. - lie recommended me to go 10 n store miles away and to say that I wanted it for my complexion and to give my own name. 1 went to a druir store only two blocks away, and igave his name, and when he discovered this be was highly in dignunr for a day. and I rather expect**, ed to be thrown ont. However, in the course of three or four days ,he derel-' oped another plan After coaching the old wife he left'me alone with her for the first time, and she begged me to 'get her some laudanum for toothache and not mention the- matter.to him. lt was easy to tell that she had been coached whaf'to'xayi and I refused to 'buy-the 'drug-., A few days later. ;-.s I was prepaVing ������hor a soup.

He** scolded about my waste, tn.t when I loukcu him square jn the eyes he dropped his' and had no more"to say. 1 f had been with the Dysons live ' weeks, when the< climax ,came. The' old woman was holding her own, if not 'getting better, and the husband's' ini- patience'had a savage edge to it. Their bedioom.was on the north side of the , house. All along on that side was a deep'excavation for a factory, and the cellar, was full of stones and -water.' .From' the bedroom window the dis-, tance to the cellar bottom was'all of -.0 feet.. I slept on the west side, with two rooms and two doors between us. but' so poorly built was ,the house that if voices were raised above a "whisper they-'could 'be .heiml.

It was not for me to pick and choose. I must have a place and hold it long enough to get a character again. 1 went with him miles and miles out on the Holborne road, and we at last arrived at the cheaply built and cheap looking cottage he occupied. It was a place devoid of almost all conveniences and rhad been selected for its cheap rent. I found the old wife deaf, almost, blind and palsied, and it was apparent lhat she had uo care whatever. She had become childish aud petulant, and before I had been in ihe house half an hour Mr. Dyson whipped her with a strap for saying that she was hungry. As he whipped her I saw him look at her iu a way to give me a chill. In the course of three or four days I made up my mind that lie regarded her with detestation und abhorrence and was hourly hoping for her death. I wondered that he had not pushed her down stairs or found other means lo briug about an "accidental" death, but the old man was full of craft and cowardice. I soon bad evidence that he was in love with a widow in the neighborhood, or at least he desired to be free so that he could marry her. The man had no occupation and seldom left the house. During my. first two weeks in the place he never, allowed roe to see the wife except iu his presence and found, fault if I cooked anytliing extra for her or expressed my sympathy. He had a way of whispering to himself, and a dozen times over I heard him say: "I've waited for five years, but I won't wait much longer. I'll get rid of her and be happy." My natural impulse on finding out how he felt toward his wife was'to fly the house, but I have explained how.I was situated. And, too. I soon got the feeling that I ought to stay to protect with fingers of steel and making a great struggle. I heard him breathing heavily and snarling and growling as he tore her fingers loose, but I did not know what he planned to do till of a sudden he staggered to the open window and _uug her out. She screamed as she went lot her death, aud- in my fright I echoed . the scream. I' remember'the man rushing across 'the room at me. of his dashing open the door, of his striking me down", and then came darkness which lasted for weeks. He struck me with a piece of iron and fractured my skull. He then carried my body down stairs and bore it a quarter of a mile away and flung it into another excavation. "Before taking me from the house he put on my hat ancl cloak, aud thus it appeared to those who'found my unconscious body uext morning that I had been coming home the night before and fallen into the pit. As to his wife, he gave the alarm and brought the police aud made out that it was a case of suicide. Whilo he was fast asleep, as he claimed. .������=-!::��������� had stolen to the window and le'iped lo her di-arii. Flis story went, and it was seven mom lis before (here was any contradiction I had a fractured skull, brain fever and pneumonia and for wee^s and weeks lay as one dead. When I mended, my memory was confused, and it was seven months before 1 told my siory and pui tbe police on ihe track. Long before that Dyson had married the widow and sailed for America, and. 1 hough efforts were made to find him. nothing came of them. Never did n man deserve the hangman's rope more, and yet. if liv- iug today, he is free and has uo fear of the law. f ,���������<;���������-* drawbacks to the pay (is fair. . , ,v ,������, There are but two,, ��������� > ,.
