STAYING A .DEATH.
I WAS living In se
clusion In a small
town about thlrty
flvo miles north of
g London. I was writ
9 Ing a novel.
So engrossed was
I with my task that
I had no time even to
• read the newspaper
and was quite igno
rant of whnt was
going on in
world. It wag a little after 8 o'clock
one evening in April that I finished the
second volume of my work. It was with
great satisfaction that I wrote, and
with considerable flourish, too, the
words, "End of.Volume the Second."
It was useless doing any more that
night, so I put on my hat and coat
and started off for an evening stroll.
I had no sooner stepped into the street
than a boy accosted me with a bundle
of papers under his arm and the re
quest. "Buy an evening paper, sir?” I
bought one, put It In my pocket, and
resumed my walk.
My landlady had brought In my sup
per, at\d, as my walk had given me an
appetite, It was with no small pleasure
that I viewed a goodly Joint of cold beef
awaiting my attack.
I had laid tbe newspaper on the table
when entering the room, Intending to
read it during supper, but It was not till
I had lit a pipe and subsided Into a cosy
armchair by the fire that I unfolded the
sheet of printed matter.
Therefore I looked at the "leader.”
Something about a new "Greek loan.”
That didn't interest me. I skipped
through the little Items of news and
hurried jottings and summaries pecul
iar to our evening papers. Presently
my eye was caught with the following
paragraph heading:
"Impending Execution of the CUnfold
Murderer.
* lit; uiuiueicj vn me uiuui luiuuc
- James Renfrew will be hanged tomor
row morning at 8 oclock. The wretched
man, whose name—Charles Fenthurst—
Is now In everybody's mouth, still per
sists In his plea of Innocence."
The name of Fenthurst was most fa
miliar to me. I had formed a deep
friendship with a man of that name.
He was a good fifteen years my senior
and had died about two years previous
ly. I knew he had a son named Charles,
a young fellow, who had emigrated to
south Africa early In life. Could this
be the same man? I read on:
"It will be remembered that at the
' trial the strongest circumstantial evi
dence was brought to bear upon Fent
hurst. The murder took place In a
house on the outskirts of the small town
of Cllnfold.
“It was proved that Fenthurst was In
the habit of frequenting Renfrew’s
premises and that, apparently, he was
expected there on the evening In ques
tion. He was seen near the place soon
after the crime was committed and sev
eral other proofs of a strongly condem
natory character were also laid against
v him.
“He has persisted from the first, how
ever, In maintaining that he was absent
from Cllnfold at the very time the mur
der took place. This was about 7 o’clock
In the eyentng. At that hour he says
he was returning from London, where
• he had been spending part of the day.
Only one witness, he says, could prove
this, and this Is an Individual who trav
i * eled with him as far as P-and en
tered Into conversation with him. Ad
vertisements have been Inserted in all
the papers by Fenthurst's legal advis
ers, but as no answer has been forth
coming, It Is generally believed that the
whole story la a myth. The murder was
committed on February <. Since his
condemnation the prisoner has been
confined In Silkmlnster jail, where his
execution will take place.”
Astonishment and dismay confronted
me as I laid the paper down. I was the
missing witness they had so vainly
sought.
I had entered into conversation on the
return journey with the only other oc

V ••OH! YOU’VE COME TO, HAVE
YOU?”
cupant of my compartment, a young
man with a small black bag, on which
were painted the letters “C. F." I re
membered all this blstlnctly. In order
to make sure I snatched up my dairy
and quickly turned to the date of the
murder, February 6. There was the
entry.
The horror of the situation now
' flashed upon me. A man’s life—the life
of my old friend’s son—depended upon
me.
I looked at my watch. It was just 11
O’clock. Hurriedly I dragged on my
boots, thinking the while what I should
do.
My first Impulse was to rush to the
telegraph office. Then, with dismay, I
4.'remembered that it was shut for the
night after 8 o’clock and that the post
S;?’ master took the 8:30 train to a large
town about five miles off, leaving the
;-toffice for the night in the charge of a
if caretaker, and returning by an early
01 train the next morning,
f f' Then I thought of going to the po
lice (there were Just two constables and
a sergeant in our little town), but what
'Ifr J could they do more than I?
: Madly I threw on my hat and rushed
out. I ran in a mechanical way to the
■; post-office.
„ Then I started for the railway sta
tlon. This was about half a mile from
town. As I hurried along. I thought,
with fresh dismay, that this would also
prove a fruitless errand, for the last
train to 8ilkmlnster was the 8:30 p. m.
Should I wait till the morning and
^ Co to Sul
telegraph T I remembered that the of
fice did not open till 8 o’clock.
I had, by this time, reached the
station. Of course It was all shut up
and all the lights were out except those
In the signal lamps for the night ex
press. It Is now U:So. Was there no
hope? Yes! j
At this moment my eye caught a I
light In the signal box. about a quarter
of a mile up the line. I could see the
signalman In his box, the outline of
his figure standing out against the light
within.
I looked at my watch; the down ex
press from London was almost due. I
would make a rush for that signal box,
and compel the occupant to put the
signal against It and stop It.
Kven as I reached the rails, a sema
phore signal that was near me let fall
Its arm, and the red light changed Into
a brilliant green. Would there be
time?
It was very dark, and I stumbled
over and over again. I had cleared
about half the distance, when I heard
the ominous roar ahead, and In a few
seconds could distinguish the distant
glitter of the engine’s lamp-head bear
ing towards me.
At that Instant my eye fell upon a
ghastly-looking structure by the side
of the track, looming grimly through
the darkness. It resembled a one-arm
gallows with a man dangling from It!
This strange looking apparition was
none other than a mall bag suspended
from a post—In fact, part of the ap
paratus by which a train going at full
speed picks up the malls.
A mad and desperate Idea took pos
session of me. The train that was
bearing down, and that would reach me
In one minute, should pick me up with
the malls. If I could hang on to that
bag so that It came between me and
the net, It would break the force of
the shock, and the net would receive
me as well as the bag.
The bag hung just over my head. I
jumped at it, seized It, drew myself
up parallel with It, held It firmly at
the top, where It swung by a hook, and
drew my legs up so as to present as
small a compass as possible.
Then I waited. It was but a few
seconds, but It seemed hours. I heard
the roar of the approaching train. Then
the engine dashed past me.
I shall never forget the row of
lighted carriages passing about a foot
away from me—closer even than that,
I suppose—and I hanging and waiting
for the crash to come.
And U came. There was a dull thud
—a whirr and a rush, and all was dark.
When I came to my senses I was
lying on the floor of the postal van.
Two men In their shirt sleeves were
busily engaged In sorting letters at a
rack. I felt bruised and stiff all over,
and I found that my left arm was
bound In a sling, made out of a hand
kerchief.
"Where are we?” I asked.
"Oh, you've come to, have you?” said
one of them. “Now, perhaps you'll
give an account of yourself. It’s
precious lucky you're here at all. let me
tell you, for If you had been a taller
man we should only have got a part
of you In the net. As It Is, you’ve got
your collar bone broken. Now, per
haps, you'll speak out; and look here.
If we find you’ve been dodging the po
lice, don't you go thinking you’ll give
'em the slip any further. The mall van
Isn’t a refuge of that sort."
They would not believe me at first.
Luckily, though, I had put the evening
paper and my dairy In my pocket, so
I showed them the paragraph and the
entry. They were civil enough then.
“Well, sir, we shall be In Stlkmln
Bter about 3, or a little later. I hope
you’ll be able to save the poor beggar.
Tou must excuse our turning to work
again, and the best thing for you will
be to'rest yourself.”
Before he went to work again the
other one said:
“What a pity you never thought of
a better way out of the difficulty than
coming In here so sudden like.”
“What was that?”
“Why, you should have got the sig
nalman to telegraph tc Sllkmlnster; he
could have done It ah right.”
What an Idiot I had been after all!
However, I should be in time to stop
the execution.
A little after 3 we drew up at Sllk
mlnster station. There was a police
man on the platform, and I at once told
my story to him, the result being that
we drove around to the jail and Insist
ed upon Beeing the governor.
Of course, he was deeply interested In
what I had to tell him, and at once
made arrangements to stop the execu
tion. The home secretary was com
municated with by means of special
wire. Fortunately he happened to be
In town, and after a couple of hours
anxious suspense, a reprieve was re
ceived from him.
Little remains to be told. I soon
Identified the condemr.ed man as the
person whom I had met In the train.
He also turned out to be the son of my
old friend, as I had fully expected.
After the due formalities he was dis
charged, and about a fortnight after
ward th£ real murderer was discovered
and captured.
A Blcycllenne.
Saturday afternoon passengers on a
north-bound limits car going past Lin
coln par* saw a large, odd-shaped ob
ject flitting among -he trees and moving
along a distant driveway In the same
direction as the car.
"It moves like a bicycle, but the top
part Is too big for a man," said one.
“Maybe he’s got a load of hay on hie
back,” said another.
“I bet that’s the fat bicycle agent,"
was the Inspiration of the man who
spoke first. As the object sailed along
people wondered. Suddenly there was
an opening In the trees and the object
darted out Into the sunshine, disclosing
a combination of bicycle and a large
parasol.
The Dally News reporter who was go
ing to view the 500 feet extension of the
lake shore speeding drive yearned to
know more. The car steadily gained on
the rider, and when It had got far
enough ahead the reporter dropped ofl
the footboard and started on a cross
country move towaxd a spot where in
terception and an interview seemed
plausible. But it was too warm for the
nature of the undertaking and the bl
cyclienne had passed the point of ar
rival. The parasol had lace on it and
she wore bloomers.—Chicago News.

GOOD HABIT8 OP WORK.
Ones Acquired. They Are Like Oil to
Life'* Machine.
If the time that many of us waste In
making up our minds over little mat
ters could be employed In doing some
thing really useful how much more
would we be able to accomplish? As
with most bad habits, moralizes Har
per's Bazar, the habit of Indecision In
little everyday affairs Is the easiest
thing in the world to acquire. We think
so much of the small duties of life that
they get to assume the most formidable
proportions and In deciding what we
shall do about them we leave ourselves
little time for greater and more serious
things. How we envy those people who
have the knack of accomplishing a
great deal without apparent effort! We
look at them In wonder and vainly wish
that we might discover their secret. It
does not appear difficult. “Why," we
ask ourselves, "can not we do as much
as they?” But strive as we may we
never seem to succeed. The secret is
not a hard one to find, J>ut It Is a hard
one for us to put In practice, at first,
if we have been of the hesitating, unde
cided kind. They have learned to make
up their minds quickly, and then never
to permit themselves to have any
doubts as to the wlBdom of their deci
sions. They do their work systematic
ally, and put Into each working mo
ment the best that Is In them, without
thinking of the result. They are the
people who rise at the same time each
morning and take up their dally tasks
at the same hour every day. They are
the creatures of habit, but their habits
are nearly all good ones, that lead them
In the direct line of that which they are
striving to do. There Is no one factor
of success stronger than that of having
acquired good habits of work. Having
once formed these, we are left free to
look beyond the mere details of the
work and to see how best we may
accomplish that which we have under
taken. It is like playing the piano. At
first we have to study the music and
the keys, and each note we strike re
quires a separate and distinct effort of
the will, but In a little while we begin
to read music readily, and as our fin
gers wander readily over the keys we
are not conscious of guiding or direct
ing them. And this is the way we
should learn to do dUr work, whatever It
may be. The details of It should never
trouble us, but they should become as a
second nature.
AN ELECTRIC SPRING.
Many Invalid* Were Oared There Before
the Deception Was Found Out.
In one of the shipyards of Cleveland
there Is a young man who demonstrated
to some people of the Rocky Mountain
country the great Influence of the mind
over the body, says the Cleveland
Leader. In their cases this influence
was sufficient to cure various diseases,
until they discovered the hoax, and then
a relapse came to some who had not as
yet thoroughly recovered. The young
man and his companions were not pos
ing as priests of any peculiar faith, but
were simply looking out for the dollars
that might come from their patients,
and the cures were In no wise credited
to faith, but to the natural properties
of an “electric spring.” This they
claimed to have discovered under the
bluff at Pike's Peak, and over the water
they built a fancy sanitarium. Soon
people came from far and near, and not
only came, but were cured. Prom vari
ous diseases the patients obtained re
lief, and the sufferers from rheumatism
were numerous, some being terribly
crippled. The phenomena of the spring
were remarkable and unique. Those
who bathed In its waters felt pleasing
currents of the subtle energy coursing
through their anatomy; and when a cup
(which was chained) was touched to Its
surface a shock was felt by the arm
which held the cup. Marvelous success
came to the sanitarium, and wealth was
rapidly coming to the young men dur
ing the several months that the cure
was In operation, until one day a party
of electricians visited the plahe and dis
covered the secret of the spring's pecu
liar action. Thereupon, fearing the
wrath of the people, the young men fled,
leaving everything behind. The visit
ing electricians, strolling over the moun
tain, had found wires, and these were
traced Into the spring. Beneath the
rocky bottom of thd basin there was a
network of the conductors. The secret
of the shock obtained at the drlnklng
place was found to He in the fact that
the water was connected with a wire,
and when the cup touched the surface
a circuit was formed. The discovery of
the fraud destroyed In many cases all
the good that had been done by the
treatment, y,
Fire Proof Celluloid.
A unique method Is lately described
as introduced In England for manufac
turing fireproof celluloid simply from
the spent fibers from paper mills. The
process Is simple—that is, as described,
the pulp, consisting of fibers collected
from washing water of the paper mill,
is subjected to the action of certain
chemicals which reduces it to a gluti
nous state, and Is it then sent through
a centrifugal pump, which gives it an
even substance, any shade of color be
ing imparted to it at the same time by
the use of aniline dyes. After this it
is strained through flannel into square
boxes, in a short time assuming an al
most solid consistency. In this state
the celluloid can be cut into slices or
molded when the composition is in a
liquid condition. The substance thus
formed is asserted to be perfectly safe,
and it is proposed to make from it
printing surfaces for illustrations, for
stereotyping, and to utilize it for va
rious purposes as a substitute for other
materials now employed.

IN FRENCH EVES.
American Women Hne Good Taste, bat
Mo Originality.
I have had an Interesting conversa
tion with my hairdresser about the
characteristics of the ladles of the
many nationalities on whom he oper
ates, says a writer in London Truth.
The American, though so fully emanci
pated, has, he thinks, no originality.
She assimilates everything and orig
inates nothing. In Paris—and, for that
matter, in New York—her get-up is ex
actly modeled on that of the Parlsienne.
When guided by a model she has taste.
But she is dependent upon a mpdel. Her
quickness and sharpness in selecting
merchandise are to be noted. The Eng
lishwoman is fond of simplicity—too
fond, perhaps. She timidly follows the
Parlsienne in her coiffures and pays
well and cheerfully. She is always
afraid of what is suggested “not suit
ing her” and has no idea what does
suit her. She is not hard to please, yet
at bottom she is never thoroughly sat
isfied because uncertain whether her
head is dressed exactly as it should be.
The Russian lady is the most taste
less woman alive. She is helpless in the
hands of her hairdresser and has no
suggestions to offer. It may be that her
national headdress has prevented her
taste running on the coiffure. The Rus
sian lady has soft, quiet manners, but
scans bills with a suspicious eye. The
Italian lady is a bad payer, hard to
please, stingy, and never more than
half satisfled with a Parisian coiffure.
She will write from Italy for a dozen
imitation tortoise-shell hairpins costing
3 sous apiece. She had them at that
price in Paris and does not calculate the
loss of time, and money too, that is in
curred in sending them by a well-paid
assistant to the district post office. He
may have to stand there half an hour
before his turn comes in the waiting
cue. Five francs for the ballroom coif
fure is not thought too much to ask for
a chance customer. An Italian lady
will protest against it as though she had
fallen into the hands of thieves who
wanted to rob her. The Roumanian la
dies are the sweetest and most tasteful
in Europe, Their manners are, perhaps,
better than those of the best Parisi
ennes. They have in youth splendid
hair and know how to dress it or how
the coiffure should arrange it. It is a
pleasure to receive their hints. Some
how they manage to pay their bills reg
ularly. The hereditary princess is a
customer of my coiffure. He can show
a charming letter from her to say that
all the things he sent her were exactly
what she wanted. Her payments are
made by return of post. This is less
usual in her class than might be imag

HOME-MADE TRUNKS.
The Scheme of a Chicago Man to Beat
the Railroads on Baggage. '
A caller dropped Into the Brightslde
flat and found Mr. and Mrs. Brightslde,
and their wise little terrier, "Ming,”
all assembled In the kitchen. Mr.
Brightslde was busy boring holes with
an auger In the end of a good-sized
packing box, while Mrs. Brightslde and
the dog. seated side by side on the floor,
regarded him with Intense, though pos
sibly hypocritical, admiration. Near by
stood another packing box with four
holes In each end, through which loops
of strong rope had been so fastened as
to make good serviceable handles.
“This Is about the greatest crisis of
my life,” observed Mr. Brightslde.
“How do you suppose I got that rope in
without opening the box? Just figure
on it now.”
As the caller belongs to the sex which
has never produced a great epic poem,
discovered a continent, or voted for the
Governor of Illinois, she gave up the
problem with a cheerful meekness born
of centuries of acknowledged Incapac
ity. Mr. Brightslde having finished
boring, produced a bent wire and a
piece of string, one end of which was
fastened to a few feet of rope. With
the wire he proceeded to insert the
string into one hole and wiggle it out at
another. By means of the string the
rope was then towed into position, the
whole process ending triumphantly in
another pair of handles.
“But what are you doing It for?” *
“He’s making trunks,” explained Mrs.
Brightslde. It's his latest speciality.”
"The only trouble with me,” said
Mr. Brightslde, with apparent irrele
vance, “is that I’m lazy.”
"But what on the top of the prairie
are you making trunks out of packing
boxes for? Cul bono, you know.”
“To save freight. I’m sending them to
a friend in Wisconsin, you see. I’ve got
some other friends starting out there to
night, and if these things have handles
on they can take them as baggage.
Otherwise the railway company won’t
let them. Can your female mind as
similate that fact? Taking It by and
large,” he added modestly, "It’s a
beautiful piece of work.”
The caller Joined the intent audience
on the floor, and contemplated Mr.
Brightslde with wonder, love and
praise. It was pleasing to find any one
clever enough to get ahead of a rail
road company.—Ex.

Miss Mary E. Wilkins Is the fortu

which the romantic novelist adorns his
heroines—a wealth of beautiful golden
hair, and it is of the real yellow golden
hue which one seldom sees growing
naturally on a woman’s head. The dis
tinguished novelist is very tiny in fig

of the world; indeed, she seems hardly
to know what to do with the fame that
she has won. At a little distance one
would take her for a shy and sensitive
child who begs that she may not be
pointed out to public notice, rather than
for the successful authoress whose
work Is ranked by critics among the
best of the century. Miss Wilkins was
a student at Mount Holyoke college,
and her home Is in a small town In east

It Brought Wealth and Land to a
Wichita Man.
Hugh McGuire, a farmer near God
dard, Kan., received a violin by express
that had in it something more soothing
to a Kansas farmer than music. Two
years ago his uncle, Peter Conroy, died
at Washington city. He was supposed
to have some money saved up, and as
McGuire was his only heir he antici
pated a little fortune. When Conroy’s
will was opened it was found that he
left nothing to McGuire but an old fid
dle he brought from Tralee, County
Kerry, Ireland, in 1848. McGuire was
so indignant that he would not pay ex
press charges on the fiddle to Kansas.
One night he dreamed the fiddle was
full of money. He spoke about it to
his wife, and the latter, believing in
dreams, appropriated $2.80 from her
butter and egg to pay the charges. It
arrived to-day, and when examined he
found in it $1,800 in money and a deed
to 160 acres of land near Glymount, Va.
Not a word of explanation was with
the money and Hugh McGuire is won
dering what his uncle’s idea was. The
instrument was torn to pieces to get
the money out, but it will be glued to
gether again and hung on the wall of
Hugh McGuire's cottage as a monu
ment to his uncle’s memory.
