THE SCRANTON TllIBUNliJ SATUKJAy, MAX C, 1899. m REMARKABLE STORY FOUNDED ON FACT ONE OP THE CHAPTERS OF "CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS." Rudynrd Kipling's Description of Hnrvoy Choyne's "Record" Run from San Diego to Boston Rush Across the Continent from Occnn to Ocean. In all of KIplliiB's many books, fam ous for their dasli nnd vlfror, no pas eobo of equnl length Is more vivid than the description, In "Captains Cour ageous," of Harvey Choyne's rush across the continent, to meet the son whom ho had mourned as dead. This is paid to have been based on a "rec ord" trip between the same points San Diego, California, and Hoston, Mass. made by a western railway president in 1893. Air. Kipling's de scription shows n singular knowledge of American railway men and nifth ods, as well as ot American charucter. By permission of The Century Co., wo print herewith the passage In question, from Chapter IX. or "Captains Cour ageous." "Whatever his private sorrows may be, a multimillionaire, like any other worklngman, should keep abreast ot his business. Harvey Cheyne, senior, had gone Kast late in June to meet a woman broken down, half mad, who dreamed day and night of her son drowning In the gray seas. He had surrounded her with doctor?, trained nurses, massage-women, und oven faith-cure companions, but they were useless. Mrs. Cheyne lay still and moaned, or talked of her boy by the hour together to any one who would listen. Hope she had none, and who could offer it? All she needed was assurance that drowning did not hurt: and her husband watched to guard lest sho should make the experiment. Of his own sorrow he spoke little hardly realized the death of It till ho caught himself asking the calendar on his writing-desk, "What' tho use of go ing on?" There had always lain a pleasant no tion at the back of his head that, some day, when ho had rounded off every thing nnd the boy had leU college, he would take his son to his heart and lead him Into his possessions. Then that boy, he argued, as busy father rto, would instantly become his com panion, partner, and ally, and there would follow splendid years of great works carried out together the old head backing the young lire. Now his boy was dead lost at Fea, as It might have been a Swede sailor from one of Cheyno's big tea-ships: the wife was dying, or worse; he himself was trod den down by platoons of women and doctors nnd maids ana attendants; worried almost beyond endurance by the shift and change ot her poor rest less whims; hopeless, with no heart to meet his many enemies. A WAR OF RATES. He had taken his wife to his raw, new palace In Sun Diego, where t-ho and her people occupied a wing ot great price, and Cheyne, In a veranda room, between a ?e-:r-!larv and type writer, who was also a telegraphist, tolled along wearily frjm day to day. There was a war of .-.hm among four Western railroads In which ho was sup posed to be Interested: a devastating strike had developed in his lumber camps in C'egon and the legislature ot the atute of California, which l.ad no love for Its makers, was preparing open war against him. Ordinarily he would have .iccpUd battle ere It was offered, mil waged a pleasant nnd unscrupulius campaign. But now ho sat limply, his S':ft black hat pushed forward on to Mil nose, hi? big body shrunk Into his loose clothes, staring at his boots or tin Chinese Junks in the bay, and ns anting ab sently to the secretary's functions us he opened the Saturday mail. Cheyne wns now wondering how much It would cost to drop everything and pull out. He carried huge Insur ances, could buy himself royal annui ties, and between one of hii places In Colorado and a little society (that would do the wife good), say In Wash ington and in the South Carolina 'st ands, a man might forget plans that had come to nothing. On the other hand The click of the typewriter stopped; the girl was looking at the secretary, who had turned white. lie passed Cheyne a telegram repeat ed from San Francisco: "Picked up by fishing schooner.

The father let It fall, laid his head down on the roller-top of thi shut desk nnd breathed heavily. Tlu sec retary ran for Mrs. Cheyne'a doctor, who found Cheyno pacing to and fro. "What What d' you thlmt of it? Is It possible? Is thero any meaning to It? I can't quite make 't out," he cried. "I can," said the doctor. "I Into soven thousand a year that's all."

The master of thirty millions bowed his head meekly nnd followed Susnnno: and a thin, high voice on the upper landing of tho great white-wood tenia re staircase cried: "What is it? What has happened9" No doors could keep out the shriek that rang through the echoing house a moment later, when her husband blurt ed out the news. "And that's all right," said the doc tor, serenely, to tho typewriter. "About the only medical statement In novels with any truth to It is that Joy don't kill. Miss Klnzov." "I know It; but we've a heap to do rlrit." Miss Kinney was from Mil waukee, somewhat direct of speech: and as her fancy leaned towards the secretary, she divined there wus woik In hand. Hi was looking earnestly at the vast roller-map of America on tho wall. "Milsoin. we're going right across. Private car straight through Bo-ston. FK the connections," shouted Cheyno down the staircase. "I thought so." The secretary turned to the type writer, and their eyes met (out of that was born a story nothing to do with this story). She looked Inquiringly, doubtful of his resources. He signed to her to move to the Morse as a gn oi ol brings brigades Into notion. Then he swept his hand muplcian-wlse through his hair, regarded the celling, and set to work, while Miss Klnzey's white fingers called up the Continent of America. "K. II. Wade, I.os Angeles The 'Con stance' Is at Lo Angeles, Isn't she, MIsg Kinzey?" "Yep." Miss Kinzey nodded between clicks as the secretary looked at his watch. "Heady?

"But see here, about that Noo York Limited. Chauncey Depew himself couldn't hitch his car to her," Miss Kinzey suggested, recovering herself. "Yes, but this Isn't Chauncey. It's Cheyne lightning.

We are all get ting to cover hero." This was capped by a message from Topeka (and wherein Topeka was con cerned even Mllsom could not guess): "Don't shoot. Colonel. We'll come down." Cheyno smiled grimly at the conster nation of his enemies when the tele grams were laid before him. "They think we're on tho warpath. Tell 'em we don't feel like lighting Just now, Mllsom. Toll 'em what we're going for. I guess you and Miss Kinzey had bet ter come along, though It Isn't likely I shall do any business on the road. Tell em tho truth for oncu." So the truth was told.

It was a busy week-end among the Simday-Sciiool Lesson for May t The Vine amid the Branches. JOHN xv., 1-11. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D LL. DM Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONNECTION. Some scholars sup pose that at tho close of the discourse studied last week Jesus arose to leave the room (John xlv, 32), but that some thing caused Him to tarry to speak further and to pray. Others think that He did pass out; that He entered the valley of the Kedron, In tho vicinity of Gethsemane, where vineyards abound, und that he remarks forming today's lesson were suggested by tho surroundings. Both suppositions are purely conjectural. The great thought ot tho passage before tis Is tho vital union between Christ and His church. It Is not enough to learn of Him ns the great teacher, to follow Him as an ex ample, to accept forgiveness through Him as n priest. Men must bo person ally united to Him, drawing their life from Him, and bearing fruit for Him. Tho vine and Its branches form a per petual parable Illustrating the true church. PRUNING. Jesus Introduces Him self as the true vine (verso 1), not like that wild vine by which those who gathered of It were deceived (II Kings, lv, 3), an Intimation that churches had sprung up and others would arise un worthy of the- name because not of Him. The Father Is the husbandman, who sent Jesus Into the world (John, HI, 16), who will nurturo all that are are Joined to Him (Acts, II, 47.) But the great end sought Is fruit. If any one In Christ fall to bring forth by faith tho spiritual results (Epheslans. v, 9), which ought to characterize such union, they will be cut off, Just as tho vine dresser prunes the vine, lopping off the dead nnd useless branches. Verse 2). This course Is essential to the welfure or the vine and Is In the in terest of those branches that bear fruit (Matthew, x-:13). How many nominal C'hiistlans hold a place In the church, their names on Its records, who are not rightful members, having been rejected by the Lord. (Romans, Ix, 6.) PURGING. The unfruitful branches having been removed by excision, the great husbandman, tho Infinite Father, bestows special care to increase the frultfulness ' ot those that remain. (Verso 2). What Is here called purg ing, includes all thos' nets by which spiritual culture is promoted. The word slgnilles the removal of Impuri ties or hindrances notions, passions, humors that belong to the old life and must be dismissed In order to tho de velopment of me new life. This Is ef fected partly by Providence that causes one to see the folly of carnal propensities, partly by the Incoming of Divine grace that renews the heart (Phlllpplans, II, 13), but chiefly through the action ot the truth. (Verso 3.) Jesus expressly declared that tho dis ciples were to be cleansed by the word, even as afterward He prayed (John, xvil:17), which doctrine Paul under stood (Epheslntis, v, 2G) and Peter taught. (I Peter, I, 22.) ABIDING. After speaking of the wires; for, now that their anxiety was removed, men and cities hastened to accommodate. Los Angeles called to San Diego and Barstow that tho Southern California engineers might know nnd bo ready In their lonely round houses; Barstow passed the word to the Atlantic and Pacific; and Albuquerque flung It tho whole length of the Atchlnson, Topeka and Santa Fe management, even to Chicago. An engine, combination car with crew, ard tho great and gilded "Constance" pil vate car were to be "expedited" ovf-r those two' thousand three hundred and fifty miles. The train would taks pre cedence of ono hundred and seventy seven others meeting and passing; de spatchers and crews of every ono of these trains must be notified. Sixteen locomotives, sixteen engineers and six teen firemen would be needed each and every ono the best available. Two and one-half minutes would be allowed for changing engines, three for water ing and two for coaling. "Warn the men, and arrange tanks and chutes accordingly; for Harvey Cheyne Is In a hurry, a harry a hurry," sang the wires. "Forty miles an hour will bo expected and division superinten dents will accompany this special over their respective divisions. From San Diego to Sixteenth street, Chicago, let the magic carpet bo laid down. Hur ry! oh, hurry!" "It will bo hot," said Cheyne, a? they rolled out of San Diego In the dawn of Sunday. "We're going to hurry, mama, just as fast as over wo can: but I really don't think there Is any good of your putting on your bonnet and gloves yet. You'd much better Up down und take your medi cine. I'd play you a game of dominoes, but It's Sunday. "I'll bo good. Oh. I will be good. Only taking off my bonnet makes mo feel ns If we'd never get there." "Try to sleep a little, mama, and we'll bo In Chicago before you know." "But it's Boston, father. Tell them to hurry." NO GRADE FOR SPEED. The six-foot drivers woro hammer ing their way to San Bernardino and tho Mohave wastes, but this was no grade for ppeed. That would corns later. The heat of tho desert follow ed the heat of the hills as they turned east to the Needles und tho Colorado river. The car cracked In the utter drouth and glare, and they put crush ed Ice to Mrs. Cheyno's neck, nnd toiled up tho long, IHng grades, past Ash Fork, towards Flagstaff, where the forests and quarries are, under the dry, remote skies. Tho needle of tho speed-lndlcntor flicked and wagged to and fro: the cinders rattled on tho roof, and a whirl of dust sucked af ter the whirling wheelH. The crew of the combination sat on their bunks, panting In their shirt-sleeves, and Cheyno found himself umong them shouting old, old stories of the railroad that every trainman knows, ubovo the roar of the cur. He told them nbout his son, and how tho sea had given up Its dead, and they nodded and spat ami rejoiced with him; asked after "her. back there," and whether sho could stand It If tho engineer "let her out a piece,' 'and Cheyno thought she could. Accordingly, the great lire-horse was "let out" from Flagstaff to Wlnslow, till a division superintendent protested. But Mrs. Cheyne, In tho boudoir stateroom, where the French maid, sallow-white with fear, clung to tho fruitful nnd the unfruitful, nnd tho treatment of each, It was natural that Jesus should next explain the secret ot both states, and give appropriate exhortation (verses. 4 to 6). In this Ho holds partly to the figure formerly em ployed. Tho branch bears fruit only because It Is a part of the vine, from which It receives the vital force which produces tho foliage and fruitage. Sev ered from tho vino the branch cannot bear fruit. So It Is with men. By their spiritual union with Jesus, ns partakers of His life, they bring forth whatever excellence Is manifested In their character and conduct. It Is Christ In them, that produces nil their righteousness (Gal., 11-20). But with out Christ men can do nothing and be nothing. Hence, the supreme duty nnd interest put forth In the nature of a command or precept, "Abide in Me." Hold fast by faith to Him who is at once our life and strength (John, 1:4). ASKING. Next is presented to us the exalted privilege of one who abides in Christ the privilege of prevailing prayer (verse '). It Is a large prom ise that Is hero made, "Ye shall nsk what ye will,, and It shall be done unto you." At first sight that seems to bo unwarranted. Why shculd a Unite be ing be ullowed such liberty with the Infinite? One might suppose rather that the finite In a proper state of mind would submit all things to the infinite, without asking other than that the in finite will might be supreme (Mutt., vl:10). To remote this apparent diffi culty It should be noticed that two con ditions are named the petitioner must abide in Christ, and the words ot Christ must abide In him. Those words will give wisdom, regulate desire, enkindle love, beget FUbmlsston, and restrain those follies that otherwise might lead to improper requests. Any man is pre pared to pray when, Joined to Christ, he traces, follows out, and harmonizes with the Divine thought. GLORIFYING. The first word ot tho eighth verse. "htr?ln," Is a kind of pivot around which several matters revolve. Tho abiding In Christ, the asking and receiving, the bringing forth much fruit are all included by that word. God Is glorified by those states in those who belong to Christ. But how glorified? Nothing can be added to Him or taken from Him. Ko Is the same forever. And yet He la not known to Ills Intelligent creatures except ns He Is manifested In His works In the material universe (Psalm xlx:l). In tho person of Jesus (John, i:S), and In the lives of His people (Matt., vlC). Here our Lord empha sizes tho last point. He desired tho disciples to know that they, by tho ex cellence that should come forth through their union with Him, would mako men understand something of the glory of God. Moreover, thl3 would be tho proof of their dlsclple shlp and the end sought In It that which Jesus desires Is to produce a class of God-llko men, witnesses for God In a world of sinners (Phil., 1:11), superior to all other men (Acts, 1:8). silver door-handle, only moaned a little and begged her husband to bid them "hurry." And so they dropped tho dry cands land moon-struck rocks of Arizona behind them, and grilled on till the crash of the coupling"? and the wheeze of the brakehose told them they were at CoOlldgo by the Conti nental Divide. Throe bold and experienced men cool, confident, and dry when they be gan; white, quivering, nnd wot when they finished their trick at those ter ilble wheels swung her over the great lift from Albuquerque to Glorietta and beyond Springer, up and up to the Raton Tunnel on tho State line, whence they dropped rocking into La Junta, had sight of the Arknnsaw, and toro down the long slopo to Dodge City, where Cheyne took comfort once again from setting his watch an hour ahead. There was very little talk In the car. Tho becretary and typewriter sat to gether on the stamped Spanish-leather cushions by tho plate-glass observation window at the rear end, watching the surge and ripple of the ties crowded back behind them, and, It Is believed, making notes of tho sccpy. Cheyne moved nervously between int. - ex travagant gorgeousness and the naked necessity of the combination, nn unlit cigar In his teeth, till the pitying crews forgot that he was their tribal enemy, and did their best to entertain him. At night the bunched electrics lit up that distressful palace of all the luxur ies, and they fared sumptuously, swing ing on through tho emptiness of abject desolation. Now they heard the swish of a water-tank, and tho guttural voice of a Chinaman, the clink-clink of ham mers that tested tho Krupp steel wheels nnd the oath ot a tramp chased off tho rear-platform; now tho solid crash ot coal shot into the tender; and now a beating back of noises as they Hew past a waiting train. Now they looked out into great abysses, a trestle purring beneath their tread, or up to rocks that barred out half tho stars. Now scaur and ravine changed and rolled back to Jagged mountains on the horizon's edge, and now broke Into hills lower and lower, till nt last camo the true plains. At Dodge City an unknown hand threw in a copy of a Kansas paper con taining some sort of nn interview with Harvey, who had evidently fallen In with an enterprising reporter, tele graphed on from Boston. Tho Joyful Journalese revealed that It was beyond question their boy. nnd It soothed Mn Cheyno for a while. Her one word "hurry" was conveyed by the crows to tho engineers at Nlekerson, Topeka, und Mnrcellno. where the grades are easy and they brushed tho Continent behind them. Towns and villages were close together now, und a man could feel here that he moved ntnong people. "I rnn't see tho dial, and my eyes ache so. What are wo doing?" The very best wo can, mama. Thero's no senso In getting In before tho Limit ed. We'd only have to wait." "I don't care. I want to feel we're moving. Sit down nnd tell mo the miles." Cheyne sat down nnd lead the dial for her (thero were some miles which stnnd for records to this day), but tho seventy-foot cor never changed Its long Bteamer-llko roll, moving through the heat with the hum of a giant bee. Yet the speed was not enough for Mrs. Cheyne: nnd the heat, thu remorseless August heat, was making her giddy; the clock-hands would not move, nnd when, oh, when wuld they bo in Chi cagq? LOVING. Tho union nbovo men tioned, being Inward and moral, un folds necessarily Into communion, the principle of which Is love. To this Jesus next directs attention (verses 0 and 10). Mark here tho continuity of love tho Father toward the Hon, the Bon toward tho disciples. Leaping from the bosom of the eternal, entering Into the embodied earthly representative, then borne forth to tho children of men. this love is over the same In kind. And now all that disciples have to do is to abide In that love, rest In It, live In It, rejoice In It. And this Is to be done by obedience (John, xlv:15). It was so oven with the Master Himself In Ills relation with the Father. IPerfect obedi ence was the rule and the dellsht of His whole earthly enreer (John, lv:31), nnd Ills ground of comfort at the end (John, xvll:4). Lovo Is the universal law of spiritual attraction which binds God and all His Intelligent creatures In harmonious unity. REJOICING. Now comes out the grand motive which led Jesus to make these remarks that Tils Joy might re main In the disciples, and that their Joy might be full or complete (verso 11). Here note that the Joy of the Lord Jesus Is unlike any other, although He was called "a man of sorrows" (Isa., 1111:3). It was not only the anticipated Joy resulting from the reward of His sacrifice (Hob., ll:2), but an Inward present possession, resulting from the spiritual communion Just mentioned. Noto also that this Joy may enter the heart of the disciple being derived from the same source (Gal., v:22), and being the same In quality. Note finally that If this Is in tlio soul, tho soul is full It leaves nothing to be desired (Prov., 111:17). As Dr. Abbot remarks. "This promise of Joy, uttered by Christ Just before Gethsemane and Calvary, Is Itself a song In the night, a ground of hope to every Christian soul In Its own passion hour." See how beautifully It was exhibited by the apostles (Acts, xvl:23). SUMMARY. See now what Jesus offers Ills dlsclples.what He urges upon them, what He requires them to accept If they would be His true disciples: 1. A close union with Him, so that their very life shall bo derived from Him, effected In order that they may pro duce excellence of character like His; 2. A system of divine culture in that union to mako them more productive of spiritual qualities; 3. The privilege of seeking In prayer with promise of answer under prescribed conditions; 4. An opportunity to show forth to tho world the glory of God by presenting His work In them; 5. Tho sweetest nnd holiest exchange of affection, down ward from God and upward to Him In obedience; 6. A Joy, unlike any the world gives, filling and satisfying the soul. Millions have found all this. Alas, that any should turn awuy nnd llvo on the lower plane of Incomplete and short-lived delights (Matt., xi:2S 29). It Is not true that, as they changed engines nt Fort Madison, Chuyno pass ed over to the Amalgamated Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers an en dowment sufficient to enable them to fight for him and his fellows on equal terms for evermore. He paid his obli gations to engineers and firemen as he believed they deserved, and only his bank knows what he gave tho crews who had sympathized with hlin. It Is on record that the last crew took entire charge of switching operations nt Sixteenth street, because "she" was In a dozo at last, and Heaven was to help anyone who bumped her. Now tho highly paid specialist who conveys the Lake Shore nnd Michigan Southern Limited from Chlcngo to Elkhart is something of an autocrat, and ho does not npprovo of being told how to back up a car. None the less he handled the "Constance" as if she might have been a load ot dynamite, and when the crew rebuked him, they did It In whispers and dumb show. "Pshaw!" said the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fo men, discussing life later, "we weren't runnln' for a record. Har vey Chcyne's wife, sho were sick back, an' we did n't want to Jounce her. 'Come to think of It, our runnln' time from San Diego to Chicago was 57.51. You can tell that to them Eastern way trains. When we 're tryln' for a record, we '11 lot you know." To the Western man (though this would not please cither city) Chlcngo and Boston are cheek by jowl, nnd some railroad encourage tho delusion. The Limited whirled the "Constance" into Buffalo and the arms of tho Now York Central and Hudson River ((Il lustrious tnognates with white whis kers and gold charms on their watch chains boarded her here to tulk a little business to Cheyne), who slid her gracefully Into Albany, where tho Bos ton and Albany completed the run from tide-water to tide-water total time, eighty-seven hours nnd thirty-five min utes, or three days, fifteen hours nnd one-hnlf.
