He looked out -toward the nlfrWt

'thtin I did, as much better as hia knowl

longer and more lnitlmate than mine.
Besides. I 'think the animal man, In
the extremity of datiper, shrinks from
dvuth more than 'the spiritual man.
lie had, too, unquestionably counted
happily on the advantutres he felt his

me. But the eyes of all the men all
who wereik'flt of them were upon him.
Hie must 9 consistent with the situa

truM 'himself to use words.
The captain took two maltehes from
his pocket. H'j broke unequal pieces
from them. 'lie held the remainders,
the ends, nearly concealed In his hand.
"Choose," he said hoarsely, "the long
stick goes."
We crowded forward, but Ttlge was
ahead. iHe drew a long stick, almost
an entire match. Hut the captain held
the remaining match out meaningly to
me; I took it without a word; It was
longer.
'Fifteen minutes later, mounted on the
best horse we had, not the swiftest
animal, but the one with the most en
durance, I stole out from our camp of
defence leaving on the side where the
avages had eevmtd fewest, though
They Tied Me to the Stake.
the fort was In the opposite direction,
and the sort of start I made would ne
cesltate a long detour. The r?d rascals
had evidently thought of nothing of
this sort, and were resting and plot-
without paying much attention to
the need of watching. I got clear away,
undiscovered, to a distance of not less
than a mite.
1 had felt compelled, however, to let
the horse -walk all the way, and the
time had seeme-d fearfully long. 'And
twelve hours, less the time I had taken
for the trip, was so dreadfully short
for what must be done. It may be a
eelfUlh thing to say, but, as I started out
to tell line full and exact truth, I am
going to say it: I think I should have
reached the fort, safely and In good
Reason, If iMillle Davis hadn't been In
danger. As it was, I commenced my
detour when I ihad only a mile for the
radius of the arc I took when two
miles would have been better, and I let
my horse out to a trot toward the end
of my short ride, when keeping him to
a walk would probably have saved me.
I don't doubt the sound of the horse's
feet was heard. A half dozen savages,
on foot, matched the long curve In
which I rode -with a singularly short
line. The thing was absurdedly simple.
They rose up, suddenly, all about me.
They shot my horse through the head,
aind down he wenlt, all In' a heap, stone
dead, and with me under him. They
were upon me, ajid had me bound, hand
and foot, before f could get my hand
upon a weapon. 1 was a helpless cap
tive, though absolutely unhurt save
for a bruise or two I got In my fall, and
hadn't got over a mile and a quarter
from the wagon train at all. There
was only one feature of the whole affair
that gave me the least satisfaction.
(Have you ever noticed thart a philoso
pher oan find something of saWsf ac
tion In any situation in life?) The
villains shouted so fiercely, when they
got me, that my friends could have no
doubt as to what had happened; that
would be bt'tter, on the whole, than to
have them wear their hearts out, In
their last morninst, watching for the
tvetpthat would never come.
The Indians did not long delay in let
ting me know the fate In store for me.
Though I didn't doubt the character of
It from the moment they first got their
evil hands upon me. The torture, with
all Its refinement of cruelty, must be
lived through and died out of! One
red rascal In particular, evidently a
chief of great importance, was particu
larly anoying in his gestures and
grimaces; he pointed to his head his
leg his arm 'in a way 1 could not un
derstand; 'then he would point to me,
and chuckle and gurgle like a llend,
while 'the look in his face came as near
fceing a laugh as the paint on the sur
faceand the utter depravity behind It
would permit.
Morning came. 'No attack on my
friends. 'Noon. And still no attack.
And my captors were preparing to
give the 'beleaguered whites an exhibi
tion of the way In which they dealt
with the unfortunate. They were going
to burn me alive, In full view of my
friends. .
They were wonderfully deliberate
about K. They did not allow themselves
to hurry at all. I, counting out agon
lzedly the length of life left me, guessed
that the sun would not be more than an
hour high when the ordeal would begin,
IPray Ood, I should not Jive to see It set!
This delay this gain of time would
have 'been of enentimable value to my
friends If they had not been beyond
hope. They were as helpless as an open

boat, In an empty ocean, with the white
wings of the tempest already smiting
the sea Into foam. But It would, at
leapt, give them a little of rest; they
would be stronger for the struggle that
must last until thtm the earthly end
of all things.
It was a? well, too, that the little val
ley they hail selected for my flnnl scene
on the woiid's stage should be In full
view of those for whom I was to die as
well that my end should be an object
lesion for their Information. They could
not help me. for the place selected was
well beyond ritle rtiot, and to attempt
my rescue would be a suicidal antici
pation of the inevitable a premature
throwing away of rhe lust possibility
lift to nearly complete hopelessness.
Hut they had good glasses; I knew they
would watch every detail of the devilish
deed. It would help thim a little long
er to the work when their time was
narrowing down to minutes to seconds;
It would cost the savage foe another life
or two; It would Insure, In the cases of
Millie Davis and the other women,
a certainty of simple, unqualified death.
They tied me to a stake. They piled
the fagots about me. A group of priv
ileged ones led by the creature I men
tioned a little time ago began a mad
dunce about mo torches in their hands.
I shut my lips tightly. I prayed silent
ly. 1 waited. A column of dust was ris
ing beyond theiridge! It was hurrying
hurrying!. Some belated savages,
doubtless unwilling to be cheated out
of the show sit for their friends in the
valley. The dust column climbed the
ridge. It reached the summit. And
was I going mud? or was there a line of
B'alloplng blue In the dust? The sol
diersthe soldiers were coming! The
wagon train was saved saved! And I
was so glad I almost forgot the deep
personal Interest I had in the situation.
Hut the soldiers were charging straight
for me and a tall horseman Who wore
no uniform was riding madly well In
advance of them.
The estimable savage to whom I have
referred sprang forward torch in hand
to fire the wood piled about me. And
the horseman rose in his stirrups raised
his rifle to his shoulder, fired, and the
attentive individual went down like a
log, shot straight through the brain.
A rifle was aimed at me fired and
the bullet went rods wide of Its mark.
The horseman had risen In his stirrups
again. He had fired his own rllle a sec
ond time, and my Intending asslssin
had a hole through his heart.
The horseman saved me, In that run
ning fight a half dozen tim.es. He cov
ered himself in glory, proved himself a
hero, and t'hen went down, killed by a
skulking loiterer, when the battle was
over and the foe, with here and there
an exception, either dead or in flight.
In fiction I suppose Tige Black
would have skipped out to the aid of
the savages. And the Indian wose life
I had saved, rlx years before, would
have brought the soldiers to save me.
But this is 'a story of the Indian as he
was and Is not as we might Idly say
he ought to be! Jteal life plays havoc
with the thporles of romance. When
I looked Into the dead face of the sav
age who had persistently tried to burn
me, I knew him and understood the
gestures in which he had motioned to
'head and leg and arm. He was the un
grateful brute to whom I had given
life When circumstances had dictated
death.

known. But when he Is asked what his
second name is, what the T stands for,
his eyes flush and his teeth clinch. He
has heard me tell, so often, the story of
the man who, really rode to the fort
the man who rode so far In advance of
the rescue line as to save another and
make himself a martyr that his proud
est moment is when he answers, to the
mystification of, some stranger, "My

The End.
KAILROAI) NOTES.
Surrogate Fitzgerald has returned to
David iMcClure, appraiser of the Jay
Oould estate, his report on Its value
in order that the collateral Inheritance
tax may be levied. The report values
the personal property of the estate at
K0.:;4,r,S0, and the real estate at
$2,000,000, The residuary estate amounts
to $73,234,f47. The appraiser is ordered
to compute the commissions of the ex
ecutors arfi trustees and to deduct the
full amount from the whole estate be
fore dividing the residuary estate
among the children. The expense of
administering the estate Is ordered to
be made known-and the future expense
of administration Is to be estimated.
The recent tes"t with electricity on the
Ontario and Western road seemed to
demonstrate that steam Is soon to be
superseded as the motive power for rail
roads. A special electrical engine van
constructed arid tests were mnde with
regard to pQWer.i speed, etc. The en
gineers ' In charge are fully satisfied
with the workings of the powerful en
gine and next month it will be used to
draw passenger trains through the tun
nels and over the belt line railway. The
men Insist that It could be easily run
at a speed of seventy-five miles an hour
If the track was in condition and clear.
It will not be at all surprising If within
five years all of our leading railway
lines are operating their passenger
trains by electricity. iBInghamton
Herald. .
'Here Is what 'has been accomplished
on American railways: First, a train
has been run 439 miles in ten hours
and five minutes, without a stop; sec
ond, speed at the rate of 102 miles an
hour ha been maintained for five
miles; thlrtf. the distance of fifty-eight
and three-tenths miles has been made
In forty-flve and three-quarters min
utes, or an average of seventy-six R
a half miles an hour, twenty-five miles
of the diactance being run at the rate of
eighty-three miles an hour; fourth, a
train has been run from New York to
Buffalo, m miles, at the rate of sixty
four and a quarter miles an hour.
These records show what l possible
In the way of high speed and long dis
tance runs. They demonstrate that so
far, at leasj:, as locomotives and rolling
stock are concerned1, much faster trains
than any now in use are practicable,
but there remains the question
whether such trains could be employed
with safety In many places on existing
roadbeds. It Is evident, however, that
to attain the fastest railway travel it
is only necessary to make the same
progress In road construction as has
ben achieved In locomotive building.
There was a certain poetic timell
jsB in the death of Joseph Bell, which
occurred in London a few days ago.
He was 83 years old, and had spent
nioiU of 'his life as a locomotive en
gineer. Joseph (Hell's life spanned the
whole railroad history of the world.
He was, in his youth, the engineer of
the first locomotive ever constructed
George Stephenson's famous Rocket
For half a Century his place was at the
throttle, at first of the little slow-going
engines of the lfloc.ket type, and at last
of the monsters whluh outstrip the
whirlwind. He ran the Rocket at four
teen miles an hour on the average;
and made on one occasion the bewild
ering world's recoid of twenty-nine
miles an hour. And he lived to see
trains run for hundreds of miles at
more fhan a mile a minute, and for
shorter distances at the rats of more
than 112 'miles an hour. . With such
achievements before hjs eyes he might
well have reckoned himself ready to de
part. ,
Superintendent Smith, of the Erie's
Jefferson division, Is now working on an
electrical block system which if perfest
ed will be the most important contriv
ance evolved by the geniuses of this
section of the country. It la probably
known that the 'Krle system Is equipped
w.i.h a block system which necessitates
sigi.'jl towers every three miles. With
in these blocks only one train can Vun
at a time. Tin Is Is the system that en
abled the Krle to conduct a tremendous
World's Fair business without a cas
ualty, and which has saved them thou
sands of dollars by lessening the num
ber of coal and freight wrecks. Mr.
Smith's Invention Is calculated to an
swer the very same purpose but it will
work automatically and save a great
dial of expense. It is Intended that
when a train passes ft certain point
the depression of the rails, under wihlch
tome mechanism will be placed, will
set a danger signal which no train is
to pars. When the train rendhes thj
end of the block, electricity will bo
brought Into play by the mir.ve principle
and the danger signal will be replaced
by one showing the block to be
clear. Hence the towers will be done
away with.

POISONOUS FACE WASIIKS.

the fact, that people will keep straight on

poisonous qualities have been fully ex
posed, and the power of the humim sk n
to absorb the poison fully explained. We
may say that the use of these poisonous
preparations, or any cosmetics whatever
arsiue deficient intellect oil the part of the
users; but that there is a widespread Ux
or them a shbrt walk on the crowded city
shopping street will show. The police, of
Uerlin have hit upon un inicenious way of
putting a stop to their sule. without !n
voklnn the law against the advertisers.
They ilnsert in all the papers of the citv
a notice stntlnir that they have caused
analysis to be made of this or thnt prepa
ration, and that Its ingredients are so and
so; and they also add the intrinsic value
of the Ingredients. In one celebrated
preparation, they showed that a compound
that cost one cent was sold for two dol
lars and a 1inlf a bottle. They do not
concern themselves with non-poisonous
nostrums. Independent.
THOSE GRINDING MONOPOLIES.
From the Chicago Record.
"Homypalm is a great untl-rallroad leg
islator, Isn't he?"
"Well, 1 should say so! You know how
he was treated, don't you?"
"No."
"Well, he had a farm that cost him $9 nn
acre. The railroad came through a corner
of It and puld him lioil for 3 it-lo acres, in
creasing the value of the other 3!Hi 1-10
acres to t'Jto an acre. Then when Horny
palm asked for an annual pass for himself
and family he was refused."

to use all the tobacco he wants while nnder treatment, or until
the "craving" and "hankering" are gone. It is then no sacri
fice to throw awav tobacco forever.
NARCOTI-CURE is sold at the uniform price of $5.00 a
bottle and ono bottle cures. '
Monej refunded if a cure is not effected when taken accord
