A NARROW ESCAPE.
Duke Carlton pared restlessly back
and forth 011 the pint form at the sta
tion of D . lie was a man twen
ty-sdx years of age, upon whom nature
had certainly lavished an undue
amount of good looks, but whose face
was marred at present by a look of
contempt for everything upon which
his glance might chance to fall. And
It was scarcely to be wondered at, for
in just nine hours, its time was told
by the large, slowly ticking clock in
the waiting room at the depot, Duke
Carlton was to l>e married. And here
ho was forty miles from his destina
tion, and had Just been told by the
station agent that the trains had
changed time, his train having left at
precisely twenty minutes before his
arrival, and there would not IH> anoth
er before eight that evening! Eight
the hour set for Ills marriage with
sweet Ivilla Houghton. What would
she, could she, think? What a posi
tion to put her in. Already he Imag
ined the crowded cliurch, the sea of
eager faces, the waiting bride and 110
Duke. He must reach the city of
E in time for the ceremony, but
bow?
Presently he walked back to tlie lit
tle ticket office, where the agent was
laboriously writing.
"Do you know if there is any sort
of conveyance around here that I
could get to take me to the next vil
lage? I would pay well lor one. its it
is Imperative Chat I should reach 11
before night."
The agent calmly finished the sen
tence he was writing, pushed the cap
he was wearing on the hack of his
head still further hack, and having
thoughtfully chewed the end of his
pen for about a half a minute, re
plied:
"I duirno. You might be able to get
old Harmon's horse and buggy If
"taln't let. He keeps the tavern 'bout
a stone's throw from hero, au' some
times lets his horse; but he wants a
tarnation price. Y'ou cau try him.
though; that's his chimney you see
Jest over the yeller house there." And
be rose lazily and pointed vaguely
down the street, where a number of
small houses were visible, among
which the yellow one stood out dis
tinctly, having been recently built and
Just received Its coat of priming.
Duke walked rapidly from the depot
and hastened In the direction of the
"tavern," keeping the chimney In
view as a guard against mistake, and
soon found himself before a dirty, ill
kept, 111-looking place, from which au
odor of lioiled cabbage and onions was
now issuing. To Ids loud and twice
repeated knocking the door was final
ly opened by an untidy specimen of
womankind from which lie would at
any other time have recoiled in dis
gust; hut bis necessity was urgent, so,
stepping forward, lie raised ids li'
and courteously asked if he might sec
the proprietor.
After a prolonged stare, as if men
tally digesting tlie word, she answered
with a linif grunt:
"Ain't t' home, but I'm 'ls wife 'nd
we ain't no secrets. What du you
want?"
Duke smiled In spite of his perplex
ity. before he replied:
"I merely came to see if I could en
gage some one to lake me over to the
Tillage east of here. 1 must reach
K tonight; I believe 1 can get a
carriage there."
•There ain't no horse to hum," she
said, "but Abe would take you over in
the lttornin'. Du you wain lodgin' for
the night?" she added, an eager look
taking the place of the previous va
cant stare.
"So, thank you." said Duke; "if I
cannot lind a vehicle of some descrip
tion 1 suppose I must walk, for I must
certainly get titer;.- to-night. Can you
tell me abou-t how far it is to the next
village, and which is the nearest way
to go?"
"It's four mile an' a half by the
railroad, an' nigh onto seven if you
take the road," was the surly answer,
as she saw there was not even a re
mote chance of "Abe's" mnking some
thing In the morning. "lint 'tain't
many as likes to go by the railway,
on 'count of the nnrrer tunnel, though
it's a deal nearer."
"Thanks. Then if I take to the track
here and go straight ahead 1 shall
come out at the village at the end ot'
about four miles?"
A nod was his answer, followed, as
he turned away, by the words:
"l-'our an' a half, I said."
So Duke started to walk the four
and a half miles, concluding he must
take the shortest way he could, as
he had not a superabundance of time;
there might be some little de-lay even
after lie arrived at the village. So he
began his Journey at once, without
even stopping for dinner.
He had passed the third mile post
when he reached the tunnel.
"Ah!" he said aloud. "Here is the
tunnel of which she warned me. I
wonder how long It Is? What a dunce
1 was not to ask. It does look like a
ticklish place, that's a fact—small, one
truck affair. I don't half like the Idea
of going through it. Wonder if I'd
have made It If I'd takcu the road?
Well, It's too late now—l'm In for it."
He had groped along for a short
quarter of a mile, feeling his way care
fully by the wall. Not a thought of
any actual danger had entered bis
head-so full of his fair bride to be—
until suddenly a dull rumble struck
bis ears, and caused him to wonder
from whence the sound proceeded.
Another instant arid there Hashed
across his brain the horrible reality.
A train was coming, from which di
rection he could not tell, but certainly
coming, and if the tunnel proved
much longer, the fact was undeniable
that he should be crushed beneath the
iron monster there alone an the dnrk-
HII aß< } D 6 on* would know his fate.
no listened, laying bis ear to the rail;
it was coming hi the rear. He quick
ened his steps—he ran—ran as rapidly
is lie dared tor fear of a misstep which
would hinder instead of advance his
ends.
Now the roar eonies nearer; he can
imagine the train as it is tearing
along, carrying death to him. lie
thinks each individual hair is stand
ing on end. The sweat pours down bis
face, and still Shis darkness, still this
louder roar of the engine as it comes
steadily nearer and nearer, and his
strength is nearly exhausted.
At lust a gleam of light greets him
at the farther end of the tunnel. Oh.
what hope it inspires! He thinks of
the races he has won at college, and
determines to take a fresh start. Yes,
lie will run as if running 11 race, and
forget the huge monster behind liiiu,
which seems to paralyze his limbs and
prevent all motion; he will run, run
he nfnst win—liow terrible tlie result
if he docs not! He thinks of Hula, his
sweetheart, lifs wife that was to have
been. S'liatl lie ever see her again?
The light ahead grows more and
more distinct, lint his breath Is going,
and tlie train behind is rushing on
fast; it seems quite close now; fee
can almost feci iis breath upon him;
still lie runs. Another moment and he
will have gained or lost—which? lie
must make that short space! What a
tiling it is, tliis being face to face with
death! lie cannot hold out much lon
ger; lie feels he must lose—and whit
then? lint no—he will make one more
effort. Ho clears the tunnel, leaps
from tlie track, and falls headlong
down the bank on the side, saved—but
unconscious, while the heavily loaded
freight train passes by.
But the engineer had seen him Jump,
and not being able to ascertain
whether lie had been struck by the
cowcatcher or not, stopped tlie train
and went back In search of him; and
when Duke Carlton regained con
sciousness lie was lying on a scat In
tlie depot in tlie village for which he
aad started some hours liefore.
He was not seriously Injured, nis
fall had hut stunned him, and in au
hour he was quite ready to proceed on
his journey, a little ]>ale, it is true,
and shaky in the lower extremeties.
but otherwise rejoicing that lie had
succeeded in his quest, and would be
in time for his wedding, with thirty
minutes to spnre.
Duke Carlton does not believe In the
theory that a jiersou's hair turns
white In a night from sudden fright or
sorrow, for his own raven locks show
not a trace of silver; and surely no one
ever had a more terrible fright or n
narrower escape than did lie on his
wedding day, when he ran a race for
his bride.

I'CHtml Kind,
"No," said the French artillery officer
quoted by the Cleveland Leader, "I
have never done a. thing that any man
should be ashamed of."
"You have never told a lie?" the ad
vocate demanded.
"Never."
"You have never robbed a chicken
coop ?"
"Never, as I am a gentleman ana a
scholar."
"You have never violated the sanc
tity of an oath?"
"No. 1 have never thought of doing
sucli a thing."
"You have never gone into your
friend's house and abused liis hospi
tality?"
"Of course not."
"You swear that you are guiltless of
all these things, do you?"
"I swear It."
"You have never cheated your land
lady?"
"Never."
"Now, on your honor as a soldier,
tell me, are you not guilty of all the
crimes that I have mentioned?"
The officer went pale, and replied:
"All. monsieur, why have you ap
pealed to my soldierly honor? Why do
you compel ine to confess that 1 have
lied, robbed lieu coops, abused my
friends' confidence, perjured myself,
and left my hoard bill unpaid? As a
soldier of Fj'ance I could do these
things and still remain unsullied; lint
upon my honor as a soldier I may not
deny them. Hand me the six-shooter."

THE MAJORS EXPERIENCE.
How Me Spent the Greater Part of His Life—A
Time When His Life was in Danger.
From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich,
One of the utannchest supporters of the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to the
ocean is Maj. A. C. Bishop, of 715 Third
Ave., Detroit, Mich.
MAJOR A. C. BISHOP.
Maj. Bishop has had unusual experience
in tliut line of work and probably few are so
well qualified to speuk intelligently of it
as he. For the greater part of his life he
has been engaged in water ways, and is one
of the oldest and best known civil engineers
north of the Ohio river.
Commencing in 1850, he was for a number
of years an assistant engineer for the Hud
son River Railroad, and later held like posi
tions with the Genesee Valley Canal, New
York, and also the Res Moines River Im
provement and Railroad Co.

To Be-issue Excess Checks.
Shortly after the war revenue law
went into effect, both the P. & R.
and Penna. Railroads discontinued
the issuance of excess checks to all
passengers who purchased their tickets
from the conductor, as under a ruling
of the Internal Revenue Department,
it was compulsory to affix a 2-cent
stamp on all checks of this nature is
sued. The matter was carried to the
United States Attorney General, and
he recently decided that no stamp
was necessary on these checks. The
railroad companies mentioned above
have been notified of this decision,
and they in turn have notified their
conductors to resume the collection of
10 cents excess and to issue as before
an excess check.

I Major Bishop was attached to the staff of
Brigadier General Chumberlin, of the Na

of Major from 1857 to 1865.
He has been located in Detroit since 1885,
and has a large aequuiutance among the busi

Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two months
he had the best of medical attendance but
when he was discharged he was not like the
Maior Bishop of old.
When asked regarding liis health, he said:
11 When I had my last spell of sickness
and came out of the hospital I was a sorry
sight. I could not gain iny strength, and
could not wulk over a block for several
weeks.
41 1 noticed some articles in the newspapers
regarding I)r. Williams' Pink Pills for Pule
People, which convinced me that they were
worth trying and bought two boxes. I did
not take them for my complexion but for
strength. After using them I felt better,
and know they did me worlds of good. I
am pleased to recommend them to invalids
who need a tonic or to build up a shuttered
constitution. 44 A. C. BISHOP."

long supposed by the medical profession to
be incurable have succumbed to the potent
influence of these pills. They cun be taken
by young or ojd, being harmless in their
