OOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOCOOOCOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOGOOOOOOOOOei I HALF AN HOUR TO LIVE &VMoeOQ'CCCOOOOOQOOCOOOO LAST summer I was stewing away lu tlie ollite and wonderln what crime I or my representative In looie former State lind committed to be doomed to such a life, when one morning I received a note from my old . . V r.,mn. of Clinton, He tewed me to come and stay wiU Mm for a month. Cameron met me at the station, and" after an hours drive through a most beautiful country we reached Clinton. Here a surprise awaited me, for two voune ladies came forward to greet us they were the Misses Cameron, and kept house for their brother. I got on fairly well during the first week, as I kept with Cameron most of the time. Whether he gave me away or not I cannot say. but they seemed to know I was shunning theni, and they tried every dodge as only women know how to draw me out. I struggled hard npiinst what I now considered my nntural self, but it was too strong for me. One by one all the theories and arguments I had fed on disappeared, melted by the sunny eye of thpse irlrls. As I Bald, there were two or tnem, Madge and' Floss. Madge was the younger and prettier; she represented the musical nnd artistic Instincts; Floss, on the other hand, was the man- ager; she had the brains of the estab Ushment. She was very nice, but she went In for such awful things; she bad some favorite toads In the conservatory, and she would go rambling about the coun try and bring home all sorts of animals. Insects and other unthinkable things and cut them up! imagine a girl doing that! The other one, ns I said, was not so heavy, and went in for art; and, as you know. I have a little learning in that direction myself. It was natural, there- fore, that when she told me she was going to pnint n little river scene near the house I should ask If I uilj?ht be of j y0 .ust haIf an hour to Uvp; use. I obtained permission to wait oo (t ,s 11:3o now. on the stroke of 12 I ber and we started the picture. 1 complete the circuit and you will fiitr.l In this pleasant way the days passed ' up." nntll Cameron's return he was away n left me, a prey to horr'ble the second week when, of course. thoughts. Was there no way of es there were Innovations. We would j cape? Would no one come lu time? have a day's fishing, nnd then a day of hooting, or a long tramp over the hills. When out on one of these early morn ing tramps we met a young fellow whom Tommy Introduced as Arthu Cllsby, a friend of his. lie was the son of a large ship owner of Dundee nml wns the family failure; bis chief failure, as far as I could gather, bein that he couldn't knuckle under. He had been a student at Glasgow University nnd had promised to come ofT well, but his Individuality which always came to the top at the mos' awkward moments asserted itself. As a result 1-e loft Glasgow nnd soon after had a unarrel with his father, and, havir.s decided that they could not get on together, they agreed to differ nnd part. He had come out here into the wilds to live nnd devoted his time to abstract scientific problem chiefly in tl.e electrical line. Dinner time came nnd with it our guest, but Instead of the Jolly good fel low of the morning he was now quiet, oppressively so; never speaking unless directly addressed, nnd oidy then an swering with n few quiet, direct words. A few clays after, having nothing particular in view, I determined to avail myself of his invitation, and set off in the direction of the 'Hermitage." The house was nn unpretentious con cern, but was eloquent of the Indi viduality of its master. The top floor bad been turned into one large room, and this he used as a laliorntory; It wag a literal armory of scientific nppaiv tus. After a time the talk veered round to electrical executions, nnd he said: "You may remember, perhaps, the first man they executed In this way In New York State, nnd what a fearful hash they made of It? 1 was there and saw It all; It was simply awfuL He Tolting! "The doctors, bah! they're fools. They thought they understood it all, and nppiied the death current at what they considered were the nerve cen ters, the top of the head nnd the base'of the spine. "If they had only used their common sense nnd powers of observation, they would at once found that In ninety cases In every 100 of the fatal accidents In New York nhme, the fatal shock was received through the hands, for the bands nnd arms being muscular, are full of blood, and. therefore, good con duct ors. "I set to work to devise an applianco that would administer the death en alty with the minimum amount o'. tor ture, botli lxxlily and mental, to te criminal. We will now take a look at the apparatus Itself." We left the house, and he led the way across the open until we slopped at a door. He entered, nnd after groji Ing for a moment found the swhch, and Immediately the dace was full of Ught. I noticed that this room was partly cut out from the rock and partly built, as were the others that I afterwards saw. raising through a passage we entered a larger room.

The time was almost up. and Cllsb returned. He was all smiles. He afcked me If I had any wish he might carry out for me. I shook my head. He offered me brandy, and I gulped It down, and more. and I drank that also. "One minute more," he yelled, "and I send you to Jericho." He walked toward the switch to kill me and I sat there looking at him. I could not. remove my eyes; I was fas cinated. And then I saw I saw his feet catch In the wires that led from the switch to my hands, and he fell. As he did so he clutched the nlr, and both his hnndt came down on the switch contracts. A dreadful scream broke from hit lips, nu 1 he bounded up quite six feet in the air, and then fell backward right in the middle of a large, flat distribu tion table. Then I saw a quick succes r!"n of iiliic flashes, and Immediately after this the band came off the d.vmi- A grating sound drew my eyes In the direction of the turbines. Something was wrong evidently, -for the offside lcarlng of one of them was literally red hot; the governor was wrecked and the wheel was racing away and increasing in speed every moment. It was not long before something hapiiened. There was a loud snap, and then a crash, and I saw the steel casing ripped up like paper and the watei came pouring Into the room, thousands of gallons per minute. . Slowly the water rose, nntlL when f. was anout six teet aeep. uie i.gm wen out. I was floating about In the chair, . but I was anchored to the switchboard by the wires. ' Beneath me I could still bear the nn j damaged turbine thrashing away, and I rose until my head, or rather the top of the chair, was scraping the roof, 1 when suddenly I felt that I was falling. and I was rapidly carried toward the docz. The wires held for a moment, but the Jerk snaped them, and I sailed along the passage, through the battery- room and out Into the open, where. ifter being whirled around a few times, I was left high and dry till the morn morn- ing. The weight of the water bad burst open the outer door, hence my sudden exit I was rescued from my unpleasant position by Cameron himself, who bad come to look for me.

A JERUSALEM EASTER HOW THE DAY IS OBSERVED IN THE HOLY CITY. Place Made fcacred by ChrU Are Viaited Flower Strewn When the Croaa Was BJed-TUe Ideal Place for It Celebration. f" . In the Holy City. ' ASTKR Sunday In Jerusalem! Almost irresistibly these words carry the thinker back more than eighteen hun dred year to that lit tle city of Palestine, where the world's greatest tragedy was enacted and where a miracle occurred which has no coun terpart in the his tory of the universe. There Is an indefin able something about the place which takes hold of the emotions of the visitor and tills him with awe as he looks rever ently at the objects which witnessed His last walk to a cruel death, and again at the siwt marked as the place of the glori ous resurrection. There are houses there more than 2,(HK) years old, and some of their walls of stone were passed by that awful procession struggling along to the Mount of Calvary. No art of the word sm painter can picture the halo of deep an tiquity hanging over the city. The sol emnity of Its age, the grandeur of ita as sociation, cut a niche in the memory which time does not efface. It is the ideal city of all others for the celebration of the Easter festival, unrlal stood upon the hill off Calvary 1.8d3 years ago and looked down upon the town where he had labored aod been betrayed.

This ancient edifice was begun by the crusaders in 1180 A. D., and it was largely added to at subsequent time. It forms a vast pile of masonry now, and looking at it, it becomes difficult to be lieve that it was 1,8(13 years ago that Christ arose and stepped into the open air. Not Recognized, rrlvate Zach Dowty belonged to New Orleans cavalry company attach ed to Gen. Johnston's army, and Is de scribed by the New Orleans Times Democrat as "a genial, open-hearted, harum-scarum fellow, who was the life of the camp, foremost in all schemes of fun, and always ready for duty." Such men always have plenty of adventures to relate, and Private Dowty was no ex ception to the rule. One of the best of his stories, one that be used often to tell, was of an incident that happened while on duty at Gen. Johnston's head quarters. It was a dull time, and he was pass lng the forenoon In repairing his sad dle and brushing up his. equipments generally. While thus engaged, ha heard the approach of footsteps, and saw through the corner of his eye what appeared to him to be a well-to-do Tennessee farmer, dressed In a gray suit, and wearing a broad-brimmed slouch hat The stranger stopped, and Inquired for the headquarters of Gen Johnston. Zach was Just then tagging at th straps of his saddle, and after a mo ment answered gruffly: "Here they are." The stranger. In a quiet tone, asked If Gen. Johnston was in, and getting no answer Zach being at the moment ab sorbed In his work repeated the ques tion. That made Zach a little impa tient. "yes," he answered, shortly, "but yoc can't see him." All this time Zach had not looked at the stranger, but was now startled by bearing him say In a tone of command: "Courier, tell Gen. Johnston that Froeident Davis desires to see him." The amateur saddler looked up, and sure enough, there stood the President of the Southern Confederacy. "Yes, sir; yes. sir," said Zach, "this way, sir," and he hastened on before Mr. Davis Into Gen. Johnston's pres ence, and then made a hasty exit as best he could. It was Lad business, he thought and be hastened to his captain and played sick, so as to have some one else de tailed to take bis place at headquar ters. He kept out of sight till the vis itor had gone, and was greatly relieved when It became apparent that President Davis liad made no complaint to (Jen. Johnston about the rude treatment he had received. Terror Cuts a Flgnre.

The polar Inhabitants of the north ern regions visited by Lieut. Peary have definite but limited ideas of as tronomy. In writing of them Peary says that they recognise the "Great Dipper" as a herd of reindeer; the three triangular stars of Cassiopea are the three stones supporting a celestial stone lamp; the Pleiades are a team of dogs In pursuit of a bear; the three glittering brilliants In the belt of Orion are the steps cat by some celestial Eskimo in a steep snow-bank to enabU him to climb to the top. Gemini are two stones In the entranc to an Igloo; Arcturus and Aldebaran are personifications, and the moon and sun are a maiden and her pursuing lover. These Eskimos estimate time by th movements of the stars as well as by the position of the sun and yet, less observant than were the Arab shep herds, they have not noticed that one star Is the center about which all the others move, nor have they set apart the planets, which to them are simply large stars. Whether this Is due to the fact that the movements of stars can be observed during only about three months In the year, it Is impossible to pay. ....

"Dear heart," they said, "the sun Is high, Noon cams while you were sleeping." Ah, not the dawn creeps up the sky," Be said, nor heard their weeping. Again he asked the boar of dsy Wben dusk was slowly railing; "It cannot be, for far away I hear the robin calling." And last h said, "I must arise. For now tlllt morn I breaking." Then dosed once more his weary eyes, AnQ knew no earthly waking. "All through that day his mind was dim," They sadly thought; unknowing That while he lingered here, for him Another dawn was glowing.

Over the valley the shadows creep, Dark'ning the green of the pine; Down In the garden the honeybees sleep, Missing the breath of the kine. The tinkle of bells Is sweet to my ear. But sweeter the word of a aong That the singer is slowly bringing near A she follow the cows along.
