Two shrieks of the whistle, a tug at the lever, and Ninety-nine starred and shot away with the long train following behind like an immense black serpent, I over air line, around curves, and through ! t tunnel and across abridge. Then John Lathrop had time to more closelv scruti nize and talk to his unpaying passenger. Tlie mystic sign, that had passed be- ! tween ; paved them -told the way to of brotherhood and his thinking well of j i him. i ft You aren't used to trampihg, and hain't been very long at it," said John, I laughing quietly at the rapid manner in which the supper of himself and fireman Avas disappearing. j ' Not much, Cully," replied- tlie I tramp, pausing, with a biscuit in one j hand and the half picked leg of turkey i in the other, to answer. i "Cully?" repeated Jolm, eyeing him still more sharply.

So, while the fireman kept his eyes ahead j John Xathrop seat ed himself, and, while keeping watch of the steam gauge and his eyes open, told of his early life under canvas, his pres ent home happiness,) and the bright eyed ! blithe hearted oneb that were waiting there to welcome liim. "The life of an j engineer," he said, " has its tips and downs the same as any other, and is full of (danger, and requires a sharp lookout, a strong hand and quick decision.

Looks ' " - - - like somebody waving a lantern, but the 'sleet is s thick I jcan'fe rightly make it out," shouted the flireman. John .Lathrop sprung to his post, made the whistle shriek like an imprisoned and tortured i fiend, reversed the engine and wliistled on brakes.! But his trained eye instantly saw that lit would be of no use that he J could not check the headway of the heavy train in time to aArert run ning over the object, he it what it might, for the track was so narrow and walled in by high embankments ' that escape was impossible. Besides, they Avere upon the "something upon. the Araek before they were aware of jit, having just round ed a sharp curve. v iiere.;is my Lathrop, pointing " The Big Stony lome," gasped John out into the gloom, is just ahead, and Oh, my God ! if the culvert should have given way, and my boy have come to give me .warning !"j - " Your home your boy ?" echoed the tramp. 1 , ".

' Afld may God have mercy upon him, I beheve it is your John ! -V The passenger ! Avild determination said nothing, but a flashed from his eyes as he arose, climbed out along the side of the monster eligine a Juggernaut immense enough to have crashed hun dreds at a time beneath its ponderous wheels. Then the middav-like sunbeams of the deadlight streamed out and made all plain to him, despite the thick sleet and darkness." J He saw (and a shiver other than that produced by the j cold passed through him) a boy standing directly ahead in the deep cut, waving a lantern, wnose blood-red globe shone like an evil eye. Though still at a little distance, he -seemed directly under! foot and about to be dragged down and devoured. , "He saved my life," muttered the tramp from .. between his tightly set teeth; ' and I'll do as much for him,' if I can.

Ill! the month of July, 1777, the Ameri can larniv was at Middle brook. J. General Howe, with the main bodv of the British army, held New York, and it was ! known that Biirgoyne was coming down the Hudson Avith a heavy force. An English fleet lay in Xew York bay, and toward the middle of the month (July) it .was reported to Washington that; an unusual movement was being made on the water. .He was uneasy. It was a critical period. A certain move ment he much desired to make, and in order to make it successfully not only must the utmost secrecy be preserved, but,! if possible, the attention of the eneikiv must bedrawn in another direc tion Finally, he prepared a dispatch of seemingly .great importance, directed to General Israel Putnam, which he pro posed to forward by an honest Vermont soldier. The soldier was directed to don the garb of a common farm laborer, and to thei report at the headquarters of the commander-in-chief, which he did. Ad mitted to Washington's presence, he was iiurn.:it;ii io iua.c ui uis iit-it rhiutb. : a i shoemaker was present with his kit of i tools, who took the shoe in hand, and ! very soon had the dispatch pegged up between the two soles. When the soldier, who had witrfessed the operation, had put on the shoe again, Washington told him Avhat he was to do. He was simply to deliver that shoe to General Putnam at a certain cantonment between Princeton and the Hudson, and : he was to make his way through the Raiuapo pass. ; 4 But, general, cried the man in amaze, "I can reach General Putnam j nst as quickly by another route. Think of the Cow Boj's and the Tories in that pass. I shall be surely captured." " My good man," said the commander-in-chief, betraying not a particle of angr, " do not require you to thinkT j i 4. a i t , i to act and obey, if you fear but! simply to act and obey to gjo by that route lAvill send another in you place. I know the danger." No, generah I will go." Ahd tured, the man Aveht ; and he was ; cap as Washington had knoAvn he must be ; and the enemy, keenly on the ; alert, found the dispatch: for the hiding ; place between the soles of the shoe was - r ,,-,. , i an pia aevice louna it. as tne senaer ; hoiked it would be found, and the con- tenths of that-dispatch led General Howe upon a false trail long enough to enable : GerJeral Wnfibine-ton to nocomolish the : tjeneiai wasnmgton to accompnsn 111c purpose he had in vieAV.
