( Pete Duffy ran crouching across the freight yards, scrambling under the curs on all fours. Then, ascending to ihe top of the box car with thegility of a cat, he lay panting beside the footboard. The city rose from the yards as from an amphitheater. They were batfted ia dust, though a red gash still showed in the west where the hostile sun with drew after "a dav that had tilled the dibspiials. ri'ho heat was intensified by reflection from the labyrinth-of rails and the metal of the rolling stock. A switch engine coughed unseen far down the yards, where harsh, jarring sounds accompanied the shunting and coupling of cars. Lanterns danced and flickered in jerky undulations. Fete was saturated with perspiration, lie pressed hid client against the slope of the era roof, where it fell away from the footboard, to still the pounding of Ins heart. His temples throbbed, his mouth was dry as ashes, and he breath. ed with wheezy sobs. Yet, la the midst of his torture, he listened with a sense so sharpened by preda tory habit and present danger that the physical consciousness of it added to 1:1s paia. As yet he dared not mrn'o. Voices floated to him, mutiicrt and indistinct, and he strained his ears to catch what was being said, or, failing that, to gather from their tones some clew, to the identity of the speakers. A burst of laughter relieved him. The police w'ould .not laugh. The revolver, thrust into the tight hipped trousers that' he wore in com mon with his type, pressed against his ribs as he lay on it. He drew it out and placed it under the footboard with in easy roach. There were still three cartridges in it. The other two had done their work done it well, he hoped, with a grim tightening of his thin lips. "Mulligan had been looking for it since the section men's down the river picnic, v.hen Pete proved himself the better man, as everybody had de clared. Mulligan deserved it too. Couldn't he have taken a beating without making sueh a rumpus - about it and then spinning Old "Man Leary a whole string of lies? And Leary was 'just on the point of adding his consent to Xorsh s and letting them hit it off together on the ne?ct pienic down the river. Kvcn the priest, had been mx. ken to v. Lea ry's knowledge. Oh., well, thoi'e was no use whining about it now. Mulligan was soft wu Nerah, too. as everybody knew, and that was the real bone of contention, and Mulligan was brother-in-law to the feet km boss, who was supposed to have a pnl! wiih the division superin tendent himself. The end waf plain now as if pronounced is the evisp tones of a judge's sentence. Mulligan was in the doctor's bauds and good for at least a month in the hospital. When he came out he would marry Xorah. who would be mad through the lies told her, and and we'd, he, Pete, would either have tq skulk around in lading or give himself up and take his medicine. And, of course, he had forever lost all chance -of a job on ihe road with Mulligan. Pete dug his nails into his palms and writhed. .Remorse he had none. He would have done it all over again. What had happened was, from his viewpoint, inevitable, the one honor able tiling. He would resist to the last, of course. Now that Xorah was lost to him, what was the use of liv ing? They would search tiie freight yards, though they- seemed to have lostthe scent. The growing darkness favored liim. Perhaps he might venture now on a change-of position. He raised, his head. The switch en gino still puffed, and the uneasy re flection of lanterns glimmered ia spots, their bearers hidden by -intervening cars. The tracks shock with the vi bration of trains passing on the main line. To the north a massive bridge overhung the yard where it narrowed? Under the arc light that snapped and flickered above it two policemen were posted, their faces blue black under pie shadow 'of their summer helmets, Tie was about to descend between the cars when the sound of approach ing feet arrested nim even as his hand closed upon the top rung- of the iron ladder to swing off. He noiselessly cocked the revolver. The car door rolled open. There was a scramble and the crack of a match wiikin. Pete lowered his weapon and peered downward just as a dark form emerged from the interior, closely fol lowed by a second. There was that in each shambling figure which needed no more than outline to declare the tramp. They stood leaning with tljeir tficks against the silk ''lie's goiii' to croak," asserted one of them. "Me for Peer town." "You've lost your nerve. It's nolhin' bnt the heat. I seen kids like that be fore." 'I tell ye he's goinVto croak," reiter ated the' first voice. "Listen to him breathe." There was a short silence. "You're a chump," the other struck in presently. "Didn't we find him lost near the yards an' lock him in the car for safe keepin? What have we done? Xoililn" only took care of him. An' won't his folks make good when wo write 'em how wo rescued little" Willie from hobo?s up the lino? It ought tQ 1 good for fifty apjoeo Ihs way he's rigged out An' you wantjo weaken." A thin, querulous cry sounded from fOIEYSiHMEYCtJlB Kakes Kidneys and Bladder Bight ihe depths of the car. The second tramp stuck his head into the door and growled a ferocious threat. "I won't stand for it," protested the Uther. "It's plain kidnapln'." "Huh! We only takes him up the line a hundred miles or so. This train pulls out at 11. It's a cinch." "Stay with it, '?hen, if you want to. I ain't talihY no chances with a" dead kid." The speaker dived under the rods and disappeared. His companion swore, looked into the car and hesitated. A eight cf the officers on the bridge de cided him, and lie followed the other. Again the cry sounded faintly from the interior. Tete hung motionless, his hand still clutching the rung of the ladder. The sound "haunted him. Pos sibly something in the helplessness of the child dimly suggested an analogy with his own situation. lie descended the ladder and swung himself lightly into the car. It was pitch dark there, and the air was like an oven. He heard a panting, fluttering respiration and struck a match, mask ing the flame with his hands. Ered in the tenements, he had seen enough of heat prostration to recog nize the symptoms which precede the final collapse. A moment later he leaped down, bearing a little boy across his left arm. The child had been subjected to the terrible heat of the closed car perhaps for hours. Ter rified into silence at first by the threats of his captors and then after a little incapable of ..effective outcry, only , this chance stood between him and death. Pete laid him upon the road bal last and stood at bay. Between the two loomed the prison. Let the boy die. It was every one for himself. Did any one ever help him (Tete) when his back was at the wall? A great gush of flame from a tall chimney beyond the yards threw a blood red reflection upon the upturned face of the gasping child. The man drew his hands across his eyes. In that moment from the depths of his being the sold of his ancestors enjoin ed upon him that atonement which was the law of their forgotten sept. He lifted the boy across his shoulder, drew himself over the fence with his free arm and presently stood under the lights of the street outside the yards. From the bridge two officers ran toward him. "Look out or you'll hurt the boy," he growled as they closed upon him. "I ain't goiii' to make no fight." Two hours later the cell occupied by i the prisoner was unlocked, "You're bailed," said the policeman. "By who?" incredulously queried Pete. " "The superintendent, Mr. Wheatley. That was his kid you brought out yf the yards. Ho was near wild. Say, you're all right.". Then he stood back 10 make room for some one behind him. It was Xorah, blushing and sobbing. Surprise For the Eridegroom. The groom entered alone and said confidentially: "Do yon use the word 'obey' in your marriage service, Mr." "Xo," said the minister; "I do not usually." "Well," said, the expectant Benedict, 'T have come to ask you to marry me now, and I want it used." "Certainly," replied the other. "It shall be done." And presently the couple stood solemnlj' before him. "James T.," said the clergyman, "do you take this woman to be your wed ded wife?" "1 do." "Do you absolutely promise to Idve, honor and obey her so long as you both shall live?" Horror and rebellion struggled with the sanctities of,- the occasion on the bridegroom's face, but ,lie chokingly responded, "I do," and the meek bride decorously promised in turn. After the ceremony was over the bridegroom said excitedly aside to the grave minister: "You misunderstood me, sir; you mis understood me! -1 referred to the wom an's promising to obey." "Ah, did you, indeed?" serenely an swered his reverence. "But I think what is good for one side is good Tot the other, don't you? And, my friend, it is my advice to youto say nothing about it, for as an old married man can tell you you'll have to obey anyv how." Tit-Bits. f Difficult to Inflict Fain. The doctor smoked slowly on his cigar. It was plain that he had somc tlni? to say. "I was thinking of my early college days," he said, "and of a peculiar in cident that happened very soon af er I began my studies. The professor was instructing the" class one day on the corpuscles of the blood. In order to get. some fresh blood for microscopal ex amination each student was ordered to Ie a rag around, his forefinger and strike the top of the finger suddenly with a needle with sufficient force to draw blood. Seems easy, doesn't it? Do you know there wasn't a man in the class that did it at the first attempt. It was funuy to watch some of these embryo surgeons poise the needle with a determined air and launch it o wltii ja a hair space of the flesh and there ttop dead. Others tried to force the needle in slowly, but paused very short? ly, with an expression of pain com mensurate to tha.t of an amputation- I myself gave it up as "a bad job and fcacked a cavity In. my thumb with a penknife and found it easier. "The fact that we were very young and inexperienced u no explanation for this peculiarity, a's I have since found by personal test. Almost everybody exhibited the saniti Repugnance to in flicting pain ia that manner. Try it yourself." ' The other man tried and succeeded on, the fourth trial. nid HINTS FOR FARMERS Hairy Vetch -a Soil Fertilizer. An Alabama bulletin shows that the hairy vetch on an acre, vines, roots and seed, contains 202 pounds of nitro gen. This is a very high percentage nnd makes this crop extremely valu able for putting nitrogen into the soil, and more than half of it comes from the air. Stock not familiar with vetch will have to learn to eat it; then they pre fer it to other legumes. But the point ibout it that most commends it is its value as a fertilizer and the fact that t may be sown both fall and spring and make good crops. In fall, after a summer crop is off, it may be sown and make a good crop to plow under in the spring. It is claimed to be preferable to most of the leguminous crops for use in the north.. When sown in spring, it also makes a good growth and can be plowed un-. dor and very soon rots. Owing to its fertilizing properties it is also a valu able cover crop for orchards. Some of thelargest orchard owners recommend it as. among the .best plants for or chards. Cor. Farm Progress. Care of Sheep In ike Fall. In hot, dry falls sheep suffer very much. If the drought makes the pas ture short, the necessity of grazing in the- hot sun long enough to get a full feed causes the sheep to suffer from the heat. Every pasture should be provided with plenty of shade and a supply of cool, fresh water. Sheep seem to drink very little, but what they do drink ought to be as good as possible. A thick clump of trees, under which there is undergrowth, is the best thing to have fer shade. In such a place sheep will spend the hot part of the day and be compara tively free from flies. A shed built to keep "out light is a very attractive place to sleep. They are very sensi tive to flies, and when they can get into a cool, dark place they are free from them. Crop Bound Fowls. In the Rural Xew Yorker a contrib utor gives his method of treating a crop bound fowl as follows, said to be never failing if applied in time: "Take toilet soap the size of a large pea, dip in water and put in the chick en's mouth. Immediately give about four teaspoon fuls of water. Carefully knead the crop until softened. In an hour or two giv a tablespoonful of castor oil, or linseed oil (raw) will an swer. Knead again. Shut the chicken 'up and leave water for it, keeping all kinds of food from it. Xext day, if the crop is becoming empty, feed some &aft feed with a little grease in it. In a few days it wili bo well. For young chickens use about half the amount." Sheep Notes. A flock of sheep will keep the wood pasture pretty well cleaned up, but they cannot live on weeds and brush. It is a great waste of time and mon ey to allow sheep to become too old for mutton or wool. Get rid of them in time. There is scarcely a- flock in the coun try but that dipping will make b.ette.? and far more conifqrtitblfe. Tho sheep killing dog should be placed on the same footing as one af flicted with hydrophobia. Nobody asks any questions regarding what should be done with a rabid animal, yet a sheep thief does ten times more dam age than a mad dog. Save the Early, Pullets. Don't make a mistake in the selec tion of birds for next winter ts layers. Many farmers fell their largest, earli est hatched birds because they are in good demand and will bring a good price. Keep the earliest hatched, best developed birds for your egg producers and breeders. All that are loft are the late hatched pullets and cockerels that go undeveloped into winter quarters. Breeding from such birds will degen erate any flock of fowls -if you per sist in such methods long enough. To have early winter layers the birds must grow to maturity. The early hatched healthy chick makes the gocyl winter layer. Grain For Hogs on Pasture. Some grain should be fed to the hogs on grazing crops one to three pounds per day, depending on the age and size oj the animals. An ear or two of corn will often be all that is neces sary, says a hog grower. By using grazing crops the corn can be made to go much further and a better qual ity of pork obtained at a lower cost per' pound. Hogs kept on grazing crops are under the very lr-st sanitary conditions. The plan suggested will provide grazing, for twenty-five to fifty hogs, depending on the character of the land and the crop season. Feeding GrainQ Maees, The mare that issuckling a young celt, even though she may have the ran 'of a good pasture, should be fed a little grain in addition. Bran and qn,t,s will not only enable her t,Q give more milk, but will 'furnish tho elements ia her milk needed for the growth and de velopment of bone and muscle ia the colfc. Farm Manure Best. Farm made manures are the most valuable iu improving the physical condition of the soil. Commercial fer tilizers are apt to make soil heavy, while the barn j-crd article lightens up the soil and sets other factors to work, Qreen Forage For Swine. The man who raises hogs and does not have abundant green forage is not making the best use of Uia grain feed. A field of rye sown during early fall Will eome on early in the sprinn and furnjsh a lot of cheap feed. Glakes Kidneys and Bladder Bl ghX v rwrr . - . EYE WINKS." They Occur on an Average Twenty. Times a Minute. The average person winks his eyes every three seconds that is to say, twenty time-a minute, or l,200j times in an hour.' This means that an ordinary day's work for a pair of eyelids is' from 13,000 to 20,O0Q winks. A wink is accomplished in about onc-nftieth of a poeond. so quickly; that, as anybody may observe for himself, it does not in the slightest degree interrupt continuous vision. But the notion that winking is in-? tended by nature to give repose tot the eyes is a "mistake, the object of; it being merely to keep the surface; of the sensitive little organs con-! ''stantly moist. The moisture, which! is necessary for the health of thcj eyes, is supplied, of course, by tlic? tears. ' - For this purpose that is to say,! to keep the eyes coi&inually bathed considerable quantities of saltyi water are secreted. The water is flowing all the time and would pour, out over the edges of the eyelids! were it not for an oil which is fur-' nished to prevent this. This oil ia( secreted and supplied by little glands along the rims of the lidsJ There is also a tear duct, which carr ries off the superfluous water and gets rid of it. -"i I The mouth of the tear duct is plainly visible on the edge of the lower eyelid near the inner corner, of the eye. It is a small pipe, which leads down into the throat, so that' when one puts into the eyes any thing with a pronounced taste, likoi cocaine, the flavor of it is presently, distinguishable in the mouth. The eyelids, if closed, are abso-( lutely water tight. They do not ex clude light, however, nearly so well' as most people suppose. roaturdajj livening Tost. Safe and Swift. " T3ic pupils in Xo. 3 school in Bushby knew that whenever Mr: La,mson paid them a visit there was one question he was sure to ask; and their answer was always ready,; The other selectmen might pro-i pound geographical or arithmetical! puzzles, but not Mr. Lamson, chief of Bushby's fire brigade. ' It was the closing day of school and the children, having listened to three addresses with drowsy pa-i tience, were glad when, Mr. Lamson! rose to conclude the exercises. ' "Xow, children," he said cheer fully, "you have listened most at-, tentively to the words of Mr. Howe,! Mr. Gray and Mr. Eanlctt. I won der what you would do if I mada 3ou a little speech ?" The shift from the visual question was so. unexpected that the children answered before they had time to catch themselves. "Form in line and march quictlyj out of the building!" they cried in prompt and joyful chorus. , - --.4 Bitter Wit, ' Samuel Rogers, the banker poet, was noted for his bitter wit, for, which, however, he had an excuse. "They tell mo I say ill natured' things," he once observed in his slow, quiet, deliberate way. "I have' a very weak voice. If I did not say ill natured tilings no one would hear what I said." It was owing to this weakness of voice that no candles were put on his dinner table, for glare and noise, go together, and dimness subdues? the voices in conversation as a hand kerchief thrown over the cage of a' canary subdues its song. The lighti was thrown upon the walls and pic tures and shaded from, the room. This did not suit Sdney Smith, who said that a dinner in St. Jamesi place was "a flood of light on all above, and below nothing but dark ness and gnashing of teeth. His Opportunity. ! A Buffalo physician tells of lo young friends in that city who en tered simultaneously upon their re spective careers of phj-sician and lawyer. Late one afternoon tho newly made medico dashed into the room of his legal friend, exclaiming "Great luck, old man! Congratu late, me-! Got a patient at last! Ort my way to see him now!" Where upon the legal light to be slapped his friend on the back,, saying, "De lighted, old chap!" Then, after a slight pause, ho added, with a sly grin: "Say, let me go with you! Perhaps he hasn't made his will!" jj Too Generous. A lady traveling as a first class passenger was much distressed by; the plight of her .valuable young; icollie, which at Preston station fell between the footboard of the train jand the platform. She appealed to 'a porter to save it,, and tho man 'crawled underneath tho carriage ,'and dragged the animal out, al though the dog bit his hand several times. Having got her pet safely !in Iter compartment, the lady re garded the man who had rescued it Ifrom almost certain death with a threepenny bit. St. James Ga-j zette. F - 'i . 1 , 9 :
