AN HOUR OF JIOMtOn.
The doctor was aroused by ariinrp
ting of I ho bell, and a caII to tlio house
o( tbo superintendent ot the mill. Alter
seating himself again for a moment of
rot and reflection, his mind was soon nt
work. It being but a hort distance to
his patient's homo, lie did not order his
carriage, but, wrapping up and grasping
his umbrella for it was raining he
sallied forth, so tired after his hard day's
labor with the epidemic that it was wllh
difficulty his limbs performed thoir duty.
To reach his domination the rallnmd
track must be crossed, and as he wai
stepping over the track his foot slipped
and slid in between the tall aud I ho
planking, wedging hlra so firmly that,
with his greatest exertion he could noi
stir. He pulled and twisted, pried and
strained, but without avail thrfoot was
fait. The next thought was to remove
his foot from the boot, but that, too, was
impossible. It, was not the boot only,
but the foot also which was immovnbl.-;
It would not do to abandon his efforts,
however, so he redoubled them, but the
result was simply severe pain and no re
lease. Jurt then his ear caught tho sound of
e far off whistle. The cold p repiration
gathered on his brow as h'i remembered
that tho express train was due, and butn
few moments would elapse be'ore it
would rush over thu very spot where he
was so firmly fixed. It seemed terrible
to be doomed to su(hadcath. Again
he tried to free himself, and again and
again, but with no better success.
Boon in the distance could be teen the
light of the engine. O, the agony of
those moments, with death litciaily star
ing him in the fare! In his torture ho
ehrioked, screamed and cried like a veri
table madman, but no one heard the
voire. Theu his past life Hashed before
him ; everything was mirrored In hie
mind. Incidents long since forcmt;n
were picture J as vividly as though thy
had but just occurred.
The calmness of despair succeeded the
intense agony of those few moment,
and, with no more wilthlugs and gioan
logs, he turned to look at the rapidly
uearing endue of destruction, fastiuati-d
'like the bird just ready to full into the
hungry Jaws ot the serpent ejes glist
ening, and head beut forward, while
bearer end nearer it rolled.
He had lost all fear, and with super
natural curiosity, watched th light glow
lng larger and largrr, speculating as to
the length of time he had to live, think
ing calmly of how tliey would lilt his
remains and bcur Ih m to the warm,
blight fireside he had lately left, and
.wondering what the travelers who would
pour out iromine cars in surprise ami
anxiety at the detention might say, as
they looked upon the nondescript mass,
but o second before so full of ,life and
vigor, end shiver as they turned nvnty
with the thought of the peril all about
every one, made so evident by this acci
dent ; guessing with strange iudilTenncc
the number of cars which would pass
Over him, whether they would bo janed
as they mtt the obstruction ; mediating
upon the result of his not seeing the
patient for whom he was called, nuil
whether the epidemic hid at l if-t stalked
into the house of wealth and luxury as
well as that eff poveity, and who was the
victim. Then bark again to his own
situation in life, thanking God that lie
had no wife and children to mourn his
death, and perhaps suiter want for a pro
tector, then asking blmself'whnt would
be his portion alter death whether peace
6r woe, happiness or misery.
Hii mind flew from one subject to
another like the lightning on a Bummer's
eve, flashing here and there, quick.y ap
pearlng and as rapidly vanishing. It)
eictlon waB almost .Instantaneous, and as
nearer and nearer approached the time
for death the less lie tnougiit, ami nis
whole being teemed to centre through his
eyes on that light Increasing in bright
ness so fait. lie could hear, the tumble
!ind roar, could see the swaying of tho
londorous locomotive, but without teei
ng. Suddenly, as the engineer with his
keen eyes caught sight 01 the poor man,
the whlstlo scieamed sharply its warning.
But though tho brakes were applied, end
the lever reversed, tho momentum was
too great to bo checked at once, and on
they swept with irresistible force, mak
ing certain the doom and crushing even
the slightest hope that could have found
place.
The sound of the whistle broke the
spell, end the terror returned with re
doubled force. Drops ol cold pcrsnlra-
tlon again stood on his forehead, and with
a last despairing, frenzied effoit, he
strove to free himself once more. He
failed. Thowarm breath ot the destroy
br came upon his cheek, as with one last
prayer. Hi a arms loiueu, lie looked to
ward Heaven, aud prepared to meet his
doom. With a crah ho was felled to
the ground, and the flciy mass rolled over
him.
He awoke. Ula arm-chair had fallen
fever, and he was lying beneath it, his
head toward the roariug fire. With a
convulsive start he jumped up, while on
his forehead wcie the great drops of per
spiration that seemed so natural in his
J earful death. He glanced at the clo-U
t had Just struck the hour of nine, i nd
remembering his call to the house of tiie
superintendent, alter which, so utterly
fatigued was he, he had fallen asleep, he
start e 1 with long strides for the neglected
sick-room.
-ugnt to memory dear," the cnase wa
not abandoned. Into the dark tunnel, a
the likeliest place ot ictugo, the keen
hunters plunged, only to stand aghast at
the sight that met their gaze. When
their eyos became accustomed to the
darkness, tliey lie held their beautiful wild
girl Bwoolilng in the arms of the rough
nld miner. The burly miner had seen
tho poor frightened fawn chased to the
tunml and sutv the keen hunters at bay
before him. He disengaged his arms
from the Inanimate biauty. He ad
van red u few paces, made a little oration
of the words: "Kufflansl" I hen lifted a
heavy boot, drew It bnck a few feet, sec
tawed with It a little in the air and sent
hem back to their saws and hammers at
the flumes. That entire .day the flumes
was neglected. The young wild gill
hunters were busy repairing the canvas
reals of their; trowseis and reducing
swellings. Thev have no longer a desire
tn hunt wild girls in the Idaho thickets.
Moral Never go wild girl hunting with
nut the permission of her papa, if you
would avoid pantaloon rents aud tailors'
bills.
TWO LITTLE HEARTS TIIAT
BEAT AS ONE.
The "Worcester 'Spy says: a Children
are generally credited wllh originality,
but it is seldom that they attempt an
elopement, and the adventures of a boy
and a girl, efh about five years of age,
living in the southern part of the city,
are now furnishing considerable amuse
ment for those who have heard the story.
The other afternoon the little boy, with
poorly dovcloped ideas of the cost of
travelling, asked his father for six cents,
stating that he wished to set himself up
in the newspaper business. The request
was not complied with, and the boy
visited his father's place of business, and
was given a few cents by those employed
at the same establishment. He then
went to his home, and donning his best
clothes quietly left the house. Mean
while the little girt, who 1b thu constant
companion of the boy, visited her home
In the absence of her mother and donned
her best clothes, not forgetting to place
several articles of clothing in a carpet
bag which she by some means seemed.
Thus equipped the young couple pro
ceeded hand in hand to the depot, and
like old travellers got upon the cars, ask
ing questions of no one and keeping
their own counsel as to where they were
going. But their carefully laid plans
were soon frustrated by a cruel railroad
official, who, devoid of all, sentiment
and with a desire to perform his duties
without fear, or favor, put tlieni oil the
cars and sent, them home. Disconsolate
and discouraged the youlhTul couple car
ried their carpet bag to the building in I
which the boy's father is engaged and
deposited it in the entry leading to. his
office. ' They then returned to their house
disappointed "and uuhappy, but said
nothing of their- attempted elopement.
The next day, however, the story leaked
out, and created couslderable amuse
ment among the parents and friends of
the children. Where they were going I
or what, they intended to do they are
unable to tell, their only desire being to
escape from the control of their lawful
guardians ami together light tlie battle
of life tree from all restrictions."

A WILD GIRL HUNT.
'it Is a tale of Idaho. There are ro
mantic youngsters in the West as well oi
in the East, and two of 'them, who are
fond ot the chose, have had a romantic
adventur. They were out repairing
their flumes near Idaho City. Near by
a hardy old miner bad squatted upon a
auartz lead, but he was rarely seen, and
le youngsters were not aware that with
in that old man's tunnel resided a sylph
like creature, the iov of the old miner.
Looking over toward the old tunnel, on
the hillside, they saw a light that thrilled
them with rapture. A young girl, about
fifteen years of age, beautiful as a Cleo
patra, barefooted and bareheaded, with
a wealth of rich auburn hair dropping
about her like a silken robe, biood sun
nine herself on grassy knoll in the
brlcht mornlnir. Such a divinity had

WHO ARE LADIES.
It Is a convenient answer, ears the Bos
ton Dranwript, to all strictures upon the
conduct ot women in public to say, "01
those were not laities whore manners you
object to." But this answer Is not peril
neut. Oentlemen are bound to treat all
women, so far as maybe, ostboucb they
were ladies. It Is therefore incumbent
upon women, and especially upon women
reformers, to do what can be done to
ward the amelioration of the manners of
their sex, or the sex, in stepping out into
the world of action, will forfeit, it is to
be (eared, somewhat of that delicate defe
rence heretofore rightfully accorded it.
Neither will it help the case to say that
men might do belter. Let lady social
moralists begin pretty high up in the
social scale, and waste no time in trying
to prop up the plea that the manners of
women in public are all eady good enough
or above criticism, Thouulitful people,
with their eyes open, know better, though
generally they are shrewd too ugh to bo
