    KING'S PRISONERS. }
Love in his net hath taken us and bound us.
Hath pinioned hands and feet right fast
within;
Our master's mesh of gold goes round and
round us
Cunningly wrought, and fairy ftno and thin.
To hold us in.
O Love Divine, O larger Love, come take us.
Weave thy sweet net outside our house of
love;
Prisoners of Ixive, O Love Divine, come
mako us.
Caught in thy snares and seeking not to rove
Outsido thy Love.
—Kuthurino Tynan, j
BY MY HEEL.
"Mr. Ransom, please tell us how it is
that you are filling such a responsible
position, and you not yet thirty years
old?"
This question was asked by one of u
crowd of four or five gentlemen seated
in tlie handsome private oflice of Mr.
Ransom, superintendent of transporta
tion of tlie Chicago and Western railroad
at Omaha, Neb.
"Well," replied the superintendent, a
good looking young man of twenty-six !
or thereabouts, "if you will have the pa
tience to listen 1 will narrate briefly how
my heel cansed my promotion and was
the means of saving many lives."
"Five years ago I was station agent
and operator at Hamlin on this road,
The depot was tlie only building at
Hamlin, consequently 1 had to do my
own cooking nnd sleeping in the depot,
getting my supplies from Rands, a place
of about 500 inhabitants, eight miles up
the railroad.
"It was about 10 o'clock on a hot,
sultry night in August. There did not
seem to be a breatli of air stirring. Tlie j
windows were up and the doors were
thrown open so as to admit all the air
possible. No. 112, the fast mail, had to
bo reported before I could get 'good
night' from the dispatchers and retire.
"I had pulled off my shoes and had
nothing oil my feet hut my stockings
As I was idly leaning back in my chair,
my feet propped np on tlie instrument
table and lazily dramming on tho key
with my heel, 1 heard a slight noise be
hind me. Before 1 could turn around
to ascertain the cause a man's harsh
voice rang out:
" 'Move an inch and you are a dead
man,' and at tho same moment 1 felt the
cold muzzle of a revolver pressed against
my head.
" 'Put your hands behind your back
and look straight before you,' command
ed tlie same voice sternly.
"I obeyed alacrity.
"My hands were seized roughly and
bound securely to tlie back of tho chair.
" 'Now, my beauty, 1 guess you won't
do much more telegraphing tonight,'
and he broke out into a discordant
laugli.
"He evidently thought it amusing. 1
didn't.
" 'Come on, hoys,' lie yelled. 'l've got
this kid fast.'
"After a moment three or four men,
as well as 1 could judge with my hack
to the door, walked in.
" 'Ha! ha! cap'n, you've got him, have
you?' and they all laughed roughly.
" 'Jim,' said the man addressed as cap
tain, 'have you got tho spiko lifter?'
" 'You bet 1 has,' from one of the men.
"Tho captain then turned and ad
dressed me.
" 'Young man, no harm is intended
you if you keep perfectly quiet. Doubt
less your curiosity is very much aroused
ns to our intentions. Well, it can do no
harm to enlighten yon, as the mischief
will ho done before you can give any
alarm. We intend'—and here tho man's
voice became absolutely fiendish—'to
take up two ruils on that trestle out
there. Lot us see, tlie fast mail is due
here at'
" 'My God! man,' I broke in with hor
ror, 'surely you don't intend to wreck
the fast mail? Think of tho lives that
will he lost if it runs off at that trestle!'
and great beads of cold perspiration
stood out oil my forehead as I grasped
tlie full horror of tlie situation.
"The trestle referred to was about 100
yards north of the depot, and spanned a
very wide but shallow creok, fully sev
■enty-five feet below. 1 knew if No. 82
jumped the track on that trestle it meant
death to every person on hoard.
" 'Jim,' cried the captain, 'you remain
here and keep your eye on this fellow.
If he moves kill him. The romainderof
you come and let's get to work.'
"Then all except Jim followed the
captain out and soon 1 heard tlie metal
lic clink of the crowbar as it drew tlie
spikes from tlie roils.
"Oil, what conld he douel
"My hands were hound so that 1 could
not reach the key, and even if I tried the
outlaw behind me would send a bullet
crashing through my brain. How could
1 warn the crew of No. 82 of tho im
pending danger?
"The station ten utiles above Ramls re
ported No. 82 on time. Soon it would ho
at Rands. Never did time pass so quickly.
It was now 10:37 o'clock and No. 82
must he coining into Rands. Suddenly
an inspiration flashed through me like
an electric shock. Why conld 1 not
warn No. 82 with my heel? In my lei
sure moments I had amused myself by
learning to send with my foot, never
dreaming that it would ever he an ad
vantage to me.
"I quietly pushed open the key with
my heel and culled 'R' three or four
times as fast as possible, when 1 was in
terrupted by the desperado.
" 'What air you wiggling your foot
about on that table for?'
" 'My foot has become cramped, re
maining in one position so long,' 1 re
plied, as carelessly as I could, although
my heart was in my throat.
" 'l'm so sorry,' he said sarcastically.
I commenced calling 'lt' again. It was
now 10:40 o'clock and No. 82 must have
left Rands.
"Too late! Too late. Oh, my God!
the agony of those moments was terri
ble.
"Ah, some one broke me; 'i-i-R.'
" 'Robbers are going to wreok No. 32
(t trestle just north of her'
"I was ticking, when suddenly I re
ceived a blow that sent me to the floor |
and ldft the key wide open.
" 'D—n you, what were you ticking
on them wires?' cried the outlaw.
M 'How can I send anything with my ,
foot?' I tremblingly exclaimed. That's
just a habit of mine—drumming on the
key with my heel.
" 'Habit or no habit, you won't put
your feet on this table again tonight.
"He evidently believed that 1 could
not send with my heel, but it was not
his intention to take any chances.
"1 wondered what the operator at
Rands would do—put on his ground
wire and report what 1 had said to the
dispatcher, or just think 1 was trying
to scare him and lock tip his oflice to
go home. 1 thought the latter more
probable.
"Anyway it was now too late to stop
the ill fated fast mail: it would soon
plunge off the trestle, carrying its cargo
of human beings to a certain death.
"1 lay there waiting for the dreadful
crash to come in such ay agony of BUS
penso that the next day strands of gray '
were found in my hair. Ah! how I j
blamed myself for not thinking of using
my heel before 1 did.
"Suddenly the sounds of rifleshots in
quick succession came from the trestle, j
" 'The boys are attacked!' exclaimed
the desperado excitedly, 'but, by (>—< l. i
you shall not escape unhurt!' And plac
ing the muzzle of his rovolvcr close to I
my head he fired.
"I fell back unconscious.
"When 1 regained my semes the room
was full of men, one of whom was band
aging a wound on my head, and explain j
ing to the others the extent of the same !
"'A close shave, but only a scalp !
wound, men,'he was saying I dare
say he will be all right in a few days i
Ah! he is conscious now,' he said ten
derly as I slowly opened my eyes. 'Tell
us all about it, young man."
"It was rather a laborious task, as the
wound on my head was exceedingly
painful, but 1 went ahead and related
the whole occurrence, from the time j
the pistol was pressed against my head i
until 1 was shot.
"When I had finished, the geutleman j
who had bandaged my head, and who 1
afterward discovered was a doctor, ex
plained how Operator Rhodes, at Rands I
when he heard my message did not wait !
for the key to close, but ran out doors
mounted his horse, which he had a I |
ready saddled and bridled to ride to j
his home after he had reported No 32 |
and cut through the woods at break
neck speed. He know that No. 32 inva- j
riably stopped for water at a water tank
four miles from Rands by rail, but ouly i
two through the woods. He had reached
there just in time to climb on the rear
car and give the alarm.
"The train was then run ahead until
within about two miles of Hamlin, and
the conductor and a detachment ol
United States soldiers, who were luckily
on board, went ahead on foot and sur i
prised the outlaws, who showed resist- j
ance and were fired into, two of them |
being instantly killed. Tho others were j
at that moment ornamenting a telegraph
pole.
"And now my narrative draws to a
close. Two weeks later 1 was ordered !
toreport here, and was given the position
of second trick dispatcher.
"My promotion dates from that day. j
" 'But what did Mr. Rhodes get?' some '
one asked.
"Mr. Rhodes is now chief dispatcher " \

Laboucliere's New York Experleuce.
While Henry Labouchero was on duty
in Washington he had a curious experi
ence on one of his visits to New York
where he had been sent on diplomatic
business. One evening, his funds hav
ing run rather low, he entered a second
rato saloon in a street off Broadway and
was mistaken by a gang of Irish-Ameri
i cans inside for a truculent patriot knowu
as Tho O'Meaglier. At some personal
risk ho kept up the delusion and allowed
the bold patriots to entertain him to a
i welcome dinner. He only managed
| however, to escape from them after con •
1 siderable trouble, eventually giving
; them tho slip by boldly calling at the ,
house of a perfect stranger, telling him
the facts and asking him to be allowed
to remain for an hour or two in order to
tire out his new acquaintances, who
were waiting for him outside the door
This so tickled the fancy of tho geutle
man in question that he insisted upon
his visitor's staying all night, aud by
the time he left tho next day ho nam
bored his host among his firmest friends
i —a friendship which exists at the pres
| out time.—Cor. Now York World.
Angry Chameleons.
When very angry or suddenly alarmed
chameleons utter a squeak like a young
bird. My friend, the Rev. G. Fisher, of
Cape Town, an enthusiastic naturalist
whose name is familiar to the visitors
to the reptile house in tho London Zoo '
gardens from the number and frequency j
of his contributions there, informs me
that one day he was surprised to hear a
loud squeaking and commotion in an
adjoining room, where were some pet
chameleons, and going thither he found I
that the disturbance really proceeded
from these smull reptiles on account ot
a cat, who was surveying them through
tho wires. Cats, by the way, are their
dreaded ereanies, who catch and devour
them whenever possible.—Cor. Forest
and Stream.
Woodwork In Art.
1 see it stated that Herr Natter, the
distinguished Austrian sculptor, was in
his youtli a woodcarver, and by the
practice of his humble craft rose to eun
nence in the highest of the plastic arts
Now, not a few of the beßt known art
ists of this country have served a simi
lar apprenticeship. Sir Francis Chan
trey, who died worth £IOO,OOO. rose from
the carving of ships' figureheads, through
second class portrait painting, to quarry
in the gold mine of his very respectable
if not transcendent talents. It is only
another illustration of the truth that to
■ the real artist the medium is nothing
j nothing but a means to reach a higher
1 end.—London Graphic.
BISMARCK IS DEKIANT.
Another Criticism front the Prince Which
llenewi the Kaiser's Anger.
HAMBURG, July 6.—The recognized Bis
marckian organ, the Hamburger Nachrich
ten, publishes an article headed "The Opin
' lons of Prince Bismarck," in reply to recent
threatening articles in the North German
Bazette, tho organ of the government. It
iays:
| "If the ministers continue in their present
paths, if the practical conKiiJiieucos of their
Dieasures make themselves felt by the coun
try more than hitherto, they will be obliged
to hear things of a very different nature
from that of Prince Bismarck's utterances
in Vienna. When the Prince tnkes his seat
in the reichstag his criticisms will not be re
itricted to those limits if voices are raised
in Germany that carry felouious intent so
far as to imply the desire under certain cir-
I cumstances to place the German policy and
the German army at tho service of the Eng
i lish. Any one uttering such a warning
; against such a course would naturally cause *
serious vexation to upright Englishmen.
| "English newspapers, too," the article
Bays, "consider that the imperial govern
j merit is at liberty to silence Prince Bis
; marck by judicial proceedings. It would
I be interesting in the highest degree should
an attempt be made in that direction. That
| Biich a step would be unwelcome to Prince
' Bismarck we do not believe. He would
; hardly raise any objection against a dramatic
1 conclusion to his political career, even if tho
j consequences wero more serious to him than
is possible according to the state of the law." j
j The article lius renewed the anger of the
| emperor, and it is said that ho is again con-
I sidering the prosecution of Bismarck. It is
I also reported that Bismarck views the )
J course of The North German Gazette as
| having been inspired by the kaiser directly.

HOMESTEAD'S FIGHT. I
DEPUTIES RUN OUT OF TOWN BY
THE WORKMEN.
Acting Sherlft' Cluly and 111 M Aid* K
corted Out of Town by a Large llody !
of Determined Men—Governor Pattl-
HOII Asked to Avert llloodHlied.
HOMESTEAD, Pa., July o. —The first ag- ,
fressive move iu an attempt on tho part of |
the Carnegie Steel company to start their J
mills in opposition to the wishes of the
locked out men was unsuccessful. The mill
workers came off victorious at every point.
The Carnegie Stool company applied to
Sheriff McCleary, of Allegheny county, for
help in guar'jjug their Homestead property
and protection for those men whom, they
claim, are willing and anxious to go to
' work, but are in fear of bodily hurm from
tho strikers. Sheriff McCleary, accom
panied by ox-Sheriffs Gray and Cluly, came
from Pittsburg and repaired to the strikers'
headquarters, announcing that they would
assume control of the Carnegie Steel com
pany's property and would send some depu
ties to guard the works, but before doing
so, wished a personal inspection of the
; grounds. They asked for a pass to visit the
interior of the mill, which was not only
given by the advisory committee, but a
body guard of ton men were furnished the
sheriff to show him everything in sight.
After an inspection of the works the sheriff
was escorted to headquarters where a com
mittee was awaiting him. The chairman
of the advisory committee addressed the
: sheriff as follows:
i Mr. Sheriff, tho Homestead people, both le
--| fore this trouble came and since its precipita-
I tion, have expressed their intention of not only
, guarding their own property, but the property
j of their employers, the Carnegie Steel compa
ny as well. Tho property is not endangered,
i but the bringing into Homestead of deputies
| ostensibly for the purpose of guairding proper
ty which is not in danger is unnecessary. Now,
! we, tho people of Homestead, wish to make an
offer. Wo will place from 50 to 500 of our best
| citizens inside of that mill to guard that prop-
I erty if the firm think it is in danger, and those
j mon will protect the property with their own
; lives if necessary, and further than that, a bond
Of £IO.OOO Will is* given for the faithful vigilance
'of each man posted. Wo don't want doputy
J sheriffs here, as it will precipitate trouble, and
therefore make this offer.
I Tlic Advisory Committee Dissolved.
| Sheriff McCleary said that he was unable
| to accept the offer, although ho acknowl
i edged the sensibility and fairness of the
1 proposition and states that he had been in
j structed to bring fifty deputy sheriffs to
Homestead and would do so.
j "You bring them at your own risk; we
I hereby dissolve the advisory committee,
I and we will not be responsible for any
| trouble which may accrue from their com
ing," said tho chairmun. The sheriff then
left for Pittsburg.
The word that the advisory committee
had been dissolved and that the sheriff
would probably place his men inside the
works caused great excitement, and in less
than an hour a petition was iu circulation
i among the leading merchants of the town
praying Governor Pattisou to repair to
Homestead immediately and take some
steps toward averting trouble and possibly
bloodshed, which appears near at hand.
In a short time word was received that
ex-Sheriff Cluly with eleven deputies was
rapidly nearing Homestead on tho Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston railroad. A
rush was made toward the City Farm sta
! tion, and when the train passed about 8,000
I people had congregated about tho depot,
but the deputies did not appear. A few
! moments later a mighty shout came from
1,500 people gathered at Munliall station,
I above which is the main entrance to the
j mill, telling the crowd below that the depu
| ties had landed. The scene which followed
' is undescribable. The crowd at City Farm
station were compelled to come up along
side of tho fence about 800 yards before get
ting on to Eighth avenue, leading to Mun
liall station, and as every man wanted to lie
I the first to get to Munhall, the narrow pas
! sageway was crowded to suffocation by the
struggling mill workers, all tumbling over
! each other in their great haste.
I When the crowd reached Eighth avenue
! they were joined by a larger crowd, all
pressing toward Munliall, and the sixty foot
j street was hardly able to hold them. Iu
i tho meantime the deputies, iu charge of
Sheriff Cluly, were having an interesting
time at the Munhall gate. As soon ns the
train stopped the deputies, headed by Cluly,
! started toward tho gate, against which
i stood several hundred brawny mill men.
| The deputies came close up to tho determ
ined mill workers, who looked them square
ly in tho face without flinching or moving
an inch. Ex-Sheriff Cluly advanced and in
a clear voice said: "Men, we command you
I to fall back and give us entrance to the
i property of tho Carnegie Steel company,
| which we have been detailed to guard."
The Deputies lletreat.
J There was silence for a moment, when
one of the workers stepped forward and
said: "Wo cannot permit you to enter the
mill. The mill property is not in danger,
nor does it require your guardianship, and
we think that should we admit you to this
mill it would be against our interests, so we
will not allow you to enter. Should you
wish to return to Pittsburg we will see that
you got safely out of town."
Acting Sheriff Cluly, after a few mo
ments' conversation with his aids, said:
"We will go back to Pittsburg, and will de
pend on you for a safo escort out of town."
i A largo body of workmen formed about
! the deputies and started toward Anialgatod
I headquarters, where the men could be kept i
till the little steamer Edna could be sum
moned to transport the deputies to Glen- i
wood. There was but little demonstration.
Half an hour later the inarch to the Edna,
a quarter of a mile away, was begun. Each i
deputy was escorted by a workman, and
none was permitted to follow in their rear, j
Not a loud word was spoken. Acting Sheriff
Cluly brought up the rear of the procession
with Burgess McGluckie, of Homestead, and
when the river bank was reached each dep.
nty shook hands in turn with his escort,
thanked him and stepped on board. As
Sheriff Cluly stepped upon the gangplank
he turned and said: "I am much obliged,
boys, for your kindness, aud now I will walk
the plank."
The Edna pushed off amiil dead silence
and the little crowd quietly dispersed. The
Edna returned from Glenwood at N o'clock,
after placing the sheriff's men within easy
reach of tho electric cars for Pittsburg. The
town is suggestively quiet, though every
guard is wide awake aud at his post.
