A ROSE SONG, In a garden's red retroat Bloomed this rose for you, my sweet | Caught the sunshine and the dew, Dreaming of the lips of you. Heard your sweet voice in the rills And the song of the whippoorwills, With the tenderast unrest Yearning ever for your breast, Withered, is it worth a sigh? Do love's roses ever die? Say not that its charm is fled ; Say not that its sweets are dead ; Sunlight, moonlight, winds that sing, Lured it into tlossoming ! In its drooping diadem Some sweet memory lives of them ; Still each fading petal scoms Fragrant with love's sweetest dreams ! Will his lips a kiss deny? Do love's roses ever die? Other roses climb and creep Softly to your curtained sleep ; Lingering your lattice near, Glad to dle as roses there! Yet, to this one rose that grow In the Night and dreamed of you-- Death for love its dearest bliss Give love's sweetest, holiest kiss! Sun and stars fade from the sky, But love's roses never die! ~F. L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. SAVED BY LIGRTNING, HERE had been a declared that she wonld make a honey- moon trip upon tho big express locos motive. So it happened that the morning af- ter the wedding found her snugly coiled upea the engineer's *‘box,” looking very fresh and charming in her pretty, neat-fitting white dress. And seeing that she was comfortably fixed he kissed her again and jumping from the engine walked down the plat- form to the dispatcher’s office to de- liver a message to his friend, Tom Stafford, one of the telegraph opera- tors, “By the way, Billy,” said Tom when the engiveer declared that ‘‘time was up,” and he must get back to his en- gine to be ready for the signal, ‘‘the head of that gang of freight car thieves escaped from the penitentiary early yesterday morning.” His face was so grave when he re- turned to his engine that Nettie in- quired anxiously if he were ill, For the first thirty miles of the run the Imperial made no stops, and they had nearly completed that distance when they entered a considerable for- est and approached a sharp curve just before crossing a high trestle bridge that spanned a rocky guleh, through which tumbled a shallow, brawling stream of water. As he approached the curve he seized the throttle with one hand and the air-brake lever with the other aud leaned out of the eab window, Like a flash they rounded the curve. succession of ex- | tensive freight car | robberies perpe- trated along the line of the W., C. & B. and the company’s officials were at their wits’ ends. An accident enabled Freight En gineer Billy Burnton to discover the | thieves and enabled the company to recover a large quantity of the stolen | goods. A substantial reward was tendered him for his services, but it was only after being repeatedly urged to accept it by the President of the road him- self that he accepted it. “You've earned it honestly,” urged his superior, ‘‘for our offer extended to everybody. Now I am going to put you on the Imperial.” And this was more gratifying to the young engineer than the money re- ward, for the Imperml was a through | fast express and the engine which whirled it from one end to the other of the W., C. & B. line was the fastest | and handsomest piece of mechanism | that ever delighted the heart of a lo- comotive engineer really loving his profession and the implements of bis calling, As a further evidence of the trust reposed in him, Billy was given a two weeks’ vacation with full pay. A i 0 po. -— poms a father, old Larry Byrnes, had died while Billy was serving an apprentice- tig ship at “firing” on the engine which | Larry had run for many years, For a year past they had been en- | gaged, and there was no reason, Billy thought, why the marriage day should not be fixed upon. Of course Nettio was delighted to hear of her lover's good fortune, and | when be pressed her she blushingly Consented to fix the wedding day. It was nothing strange to them that Billy should consider himself a man very much to be envied, when upon the expiration of his leave of absence he laid a firm hand on the throttle end felt the big express locomotive throb beneath Lis touch. For a month he continued without adventure in his new position. Then, mach to his regret, he obliged to ‘lay off” for several days to testify in court against the freight car robbers who had been arrested through his efforts, When they were called up for sen- tence the leader, a white-faced, snaky- eyed man, turned fiercely upon the engineer, and shaking his fist called down upon the young man's head the vilest and most horrible maledictions, Ws ‘I'll have your life for this, you bound!” he cried. Nettie had been sitting beside Billy, and when the robber turned upon her lover she uttered a frantic ery and slung to him convulsively. As soon as possible one of the court dfficers drew Billy aside snd whis- pered: *“You heard what that sneak said? “Of course.” “He means it.” “I'm not afrmad of him.” “Don't say that too quickly, my | friend. I believe that he would com- mit a murder quicker than any other man in the United States. There's nothing that he won't do to get syuare.” “But he's going straight to prison.” "Quite right,” assented the court officer, and then added, significantly : ‘Sometimes, you know, prisoners escape, and it's almost always fellows of his desperate type who manage to do the escaping. By the way, is that your wife with you?” “Not yet." “Oh, your sweetheart. Well, then, 1 ean give you another point, sneak thie! ever does get out of prison he's likely to try to find out all about you, and then he may let you live and kill her instead.” “Then I will be on my guard, and thank you,” said Billy, his teeth clos- ing together with a suap., About a week after the trial Billy and Nettie were married and began housekeeping in a pretty little cottage ot the end of the young engineer's run, so that he could “lay off” at home. Nettie had often ridden on the en- gine with her father, and as Bill could not afford to take her upon an exten- Railroad, | was | If this | As they did so Billy's trained cyes saw a terriple sight. Four heavy ties, one on top of the other, had been spiked across the rail in the center of the bridge. At the same time a strange ove powering influence seized Billy, and he stood rigid, helplessly cling to the throttle and the brake lever. On dashed the toward tain destruction, Billy's | reeled with horror. Suddenly there was another terri- | ble flash of lightning, and a great tree lin the valley below splintered from top to base and fell with a crash, Simultaneonsly the power of action returned to Billy's alyzed body, { and with his teeth fir set he threw his weight upon throttle and brake lever, So sudden was the check that shock nearly threw him from} and Nettie tumbled from her perch. Would it never stop? Slower, ywer, and not ten inches from the obstruction the great | motive came toa standstill, and Billy, with s ery of joy, reeled back upon | his bench une When he re- | covere 1 his senses Nettie was orying { and sobbing over him, and men were | coming up the bank bringing between them a dead man-—the miscreanat who had spiked down the ties.
