At a certain moment in the fray lie noticed four Huns carrying oft a Yank major, who is a Johns town man. Without hos'tation, Wer ner gave chase and when tho th'ee volleys from the Huns burst forth he Hopped down as tho. gh dead. An o'her moment and lie was able to spot three of the Huns with'his re peater. but by this time tho fourth Hun was atop of him with the same bt.vonet which Werner sent to Hur risburg yesterday, lleing something of a wrestler he managed to seize the Hun and got" his head under his own arm. Hot<ed up in this dilemma tho Major suddenly appeared with: "Pull his head up a little fur ther." The rest of the proceedings are fatrly gory, due to the elaborate use of a 45-callbcr army revolver in the hands of the Major, who was so de lighted to have been resaued that he offered Werner 1,000 francs as a present. "Nix on the francs," said Werner. "All I want is that saw-knife to show the folks at home. The weapon is so robust and artful that one might carve an elephant with It, and the saw easily buzzes through hickory wood. Werner held on to his trophy through many a lvos piial experience for he bears the Croix de Guerre, with leg and thigh wounded and his left thumb shot to pieces by a ma-hlne gun bullet.

MeeeOei Sto.IL AU. nIKSO'T DUPLICATION Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway May Handle Pan Handle Traffic Philadelphia, Dsc. 20.—Negotia tions have been opened In earnest by the Pennsylvania railroad manage ment with the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway, looking to an ar rangement, mutually advantageous under which the latter would be come the route for a large amount of the heavy Pun Handle trattlc to and from the Pittsburgh district. The mutter has so fur p'rogressed that it Is likely a tentative proposi tion will be in shape for further con sideration by the end of this week. It Is believed that the probability of an agreement being reached is more thun good. The basis for the proposition is that under the present order of things in the railroad world, which recognizes the economic waste of duplicating costly facilities* when those In existence can easily be made to serve the requirements of the sltuution, there offers in the Pitts burgh and West Virginia a way to provide the Pan Handle with a bet ter lino than its own for some four teen miles, and at a cost less than an equal good new line could be con structed, at the samo time Siflfordlng the Pan Handle enlarged access to the terminal and Industrial district of Pittsburgh. For the Pittsburgh and West Vir ginia railway, on its side, the propo | sition offers a way to utilize in fuller and increasing way its really valu able line into Pittsburgh, built a number of years ago ithout regard to cost, but in way to seeure a low grade and enuble economical opera tion. To make connections the Pan Handle would have to construct about three miles of line at the west ern end of the Pittsburgh and West Virginia and a short spur nearer Pittsburgh, where botli railroads are at several points within a stone's throw. Additional Sleeping Runs Added January 1 "The railroad administration yes terday announced the restoration, on January 1, of fifteen through sleeping car runs between New York and Philadelphia to Florida and otho*- Southern points.

The Pennsylvania railroad, lines east of Pittsburgh, puts into service Junuary 1, a new passenger time table. Some slight changes in the running time of through express train service to the east, to conform with the order issued yesterday by the railroad administration, will be made. It is understood that the win ter tourist business to Florida and other Southern resorts will be re stored to pre-war times basis.
