DELAYED DISPATCH. 1 bad never deen left alone in charge | of the officé before. It was a cold, blus. " tery day in January, one of those dreary | winter days thist make one feel so mel snoholy and blue, the wind shrieking about the building and the snow falling ' thickly in great white flakes which | seemed to be vying with each other for a comfortable spot on which to fall : re reaching the friendly bosom of earth. Old Sol had not favored us with _ & smile all day. but had sulkily hidden his face behind the gray restless clouds 3% was truly a dismal afternoon. The office building in which I was domiciled was one of those dreary old * country stations which seemed to be dropped along the side of the railrdad track af intervals without an effort at making them ¢ther than what they are, both uncomfortable and unsightly. ‘The little town of B—— was asleepy tittle village of about 900 inhabitants, ‘built down in a valley, surrounded by ills, from which flowed an abundance of beautiful, clear, pure spring water, the: humble, contented citi- sens. Today the place presented a pic- taresgue appearance. The snow had teen falling heavily during the night, * amd the trees, fences, housetops, bushes and streets were completely covered with the ‘‘beaatifal '’ The principal streot of the village end- ofl at the foot of the long winding hill and which served ns a coasting place for the ‘sserry young people. The only sign of Mfe about the place this memorable aft- eynoom was the oooasional jingle of sleighbells wated to my ears on the sir as seine farmer's boy took ad- vantage of the deep snow to exhibit his new sleigh, and a mershant now and then coming to the station for his small One or two discopsolate looking tramps paiwed my office, trudg Ing slong through the snow, casting an envious glance in my direction as I sat in the bow wiadow. Tiss cold wintry day, . 1 sat in the tittle office listening intently to the tick of the two instruments on the table in front of me, little did I dream that it . was to be the one eventful day of my life. Looking from the windows, I could sen east and wast of me the straight line of track stretching away like two silver 8 Yuunig sido by side over a vast te sheet. A short distance north of the office was the old woolen mill of Bartlet & Sons, from which issued the sound of the pierry wheels as they hom in busy onison with the click of looms, keeping company with my a At a distance of perhaps a quarter of a mile on each side of my office were two curves, preventing my seeing a train ach the station from either direc- 3 until the shrill whistle of the en , disappeari ‘handkerchiefs and umbrellas, screaming like madmen, finally attracting the at- tention of the rear brakeman just as No. “shudder and “Is No. 48 on the siding? ““No;’’ that they had just | tion, giving the time they bad Ry His voply: ‘My God, has No. 48 gone?

Oan’t you get No. 481"" My bair | felt as though it was raising off my ' head, chills chased themselves up and | down my spine, and the ocld perspira- tion poured down my pallid cheeks as I rushed with all speed and less grace from the office and frantically waved a white apron I woreand whish I tore off "as I ran, but the crew of the freigh’ tailed to look back as the caboose saiie round the curve, and my heart almos failed me as I realized that the only hope now was to oatch No. 111 ‘before they left “'M." f ran back into my: office nnd sank in- to a chair, no longer "able to stand on | my feet, scarcely breathing until in a few-~hours it seemed to me, but in reality—seconds the dispatcher called me, saying, ‘We've got Na 11." Were aver words so sweet to mortal ears” The tick of that little lwass sounder as it rang those words through the room was like sweet music, so welcome were they | to me. How did they get No. 111? I will tell you. When I told the dispatcher thut No. 48 was beyond recall, he opened a window in mad haste and screamed fo the people on the platform helow hin, “For God's sake, stop that train!"’ And they, realizing that something was ter- ribly wrong, rushed after the rapidiy ng train, frantionlly waving 111 was going out of sight and hearing. They backed up on a siding and waited, . and soon the freight train pulled into “M,'" station, the crew as unconcerned as though they had not just escaped 8 | smashup snd the possibilities of instant death a few moments before. A white faced operator, with trem- bling lips, leaned ous of the window and asked them, Fak ihrly you forgotten something?’ Kpd tbe forgotten order was suddenly remem bered, bat too late . for them. The whole crew was of ocourss dis- charged, and [—well, whos those wel- come words were ticked off that dear old | Sounder telling me that No 11)'s crew passengrs were safe, [ lost com- scloumens and only came tack to life iv time to bear the ocomduotor of No. 111 say to his engineer: ‘‘Poor girl, she has fainted. She is almost frightened to death. "’ Had I not warned the dispatcher in time for Lim to catch the passenger train, there would have been a horrible | collision, and we can only picture to ourselves the horrors accom panying such a catastrophe. My reward was a position with the corapany and a handsome gold watch. 1 staid with the company but a short! time, however, for I nevir could cure myself of the horror 1 had of railrcad | telsgraphing produned by my terrible | experience that wintry day in January, | and as | write this story, sitting here ' in my cozy little sitting room bw a bright coal fire, witching the flanaes creeping around the black diamonds in | tha grate, as | go over the scenes snd | sitnations of that dreary aftermoom, will ever enfble me to forges that _ droadfol experience, so thit [ can speak of it all without » shudder. —North- west Magazine. Fossian Trait The Russians are lazy and effemi- pate. In the winter they seldom walk, ; and when they do so they crawl along, muffled up in furs, snd do not move ‘with any briskness. One sees a great ~ enough, as my teacher avow- od, to fill the place with perfect safety while he made a pleasure trip to Louis _ ville, the center of gravity for him. 1. ‘remember 1 had serious misgivings as to my ability to take care of the office work und sat with tears trembling on ‘my eyelashes long after the train bear- _ ing my only nesistance had disappeared and felt very much depressed, as though on the eve of some great calamity. To throw off this dreadful feeling I walked to the waiting room and back several times, hamnfing a popular air to keep up my spirita I think I had been thus occupied an hour or so when I beard the train dispatcher at ‘'M."’ giv- ‘ing an order to the operator at Wilming- ton for No. 48, a freight train coming east. It read: “Train No. 48, engine. 286, has until eleven ten (11:10) a m. to run to Raysville for No. 11, engine 340.—R. G. L.” ; 3 went 4 tho-table md copied ihe or: der gs it was given, simply doing so to e time, and heard the operator at Wilmington receive it and give the signatures of both conductor and engi- meer of No. 48, the dispatcher giving him the correct time. Then I noted " Wilmington reporting No. 48 out of his station at 10:40 a. m. After an inter val of half an hour or so the operator at M.'* asked if there were any orders for o 11 reosiving a negative answer the dispatcaer. All this I noted casually, not thinking for a moment that it had the slightest interest for me, other than something to copy, and in blissful! ignerance that we were on the _ verge of a terrible catastrophe.

The Cos- * sacks of the [Jon especially have deteri- orated, but those of the Caucasian re- gions are fine soldiers. One of the worst characteristics of the Russians is their dishcuiesty in trade. In Moscow, ¢ven in maay of the best shops, one has 10 bargain for purchases, as a much higher price thaz is expected is always asked In this way foreign ers in Moscow no doubt frequently pay three or four times the necessary price fer articles. In the sams way one has to bargain for everything, and this, in my opinion, constitutes cme of the most disagreeable things connected with life in Russia One nlways imagines that one is being swindled, and too frequent ly, no doubt, the idea is not a vain one.
