It) ways looked forward pleasantly to oar arrival at linden, for as our train of me ithuadarinf up to- the depot on those long summer evenings Nellio was often there awaiting my coming. Faod while-Joe was . watering" tbo engine I managed to have a few pleasant ' words with her before we were ready to start again. Then, as the bell rope signaled "Go ahead," and I stepped upon the engine, she waved me a pleasant good-by that seemed to give me heart and strength during the rest of my long ride. We were to be married in the fall, and all "went merry as " a marriage bell," when an accident occurred to me as I was running the "Firefly" my 4ear old engine down to Linden, which materially altered our plane. I . had started four, minutes late, and was going at a lively 6 peed, when, as we swung around a curve, we saw a man coming down the track, waving red flag. . Whistling "down brakes," we were soon at a standstill, and, leaving Joe to take care of the engine, I hurried foreward with tbo conductor, to see the cause of 'the danger-signal. T Com ing up with the flagman, we learned that a freight train was off the track a mile further ,npr the arpad;nnd for. two whole hours we waited on tbe main track, while the heavy freight care were being unloaded and righted. At last, "clear track" ras signaled and I sounded the whistle for "all aboard!", "Pat her through pretty lively when ycu get clear track," said Charlie, the conductor. "I've, tele graphed ahead, and well have right of way from hero straight through. Now, let her jump, Harry, and we 11 make up-time before we reach Sad ler's. The night was npon us ere we neared-3rtreti8eld'6, and. Joe and I were seated at cither ; window, our eyes fixed intently on the track ahead, watching for any obstruction on the shining rails, which were glistening like silver serpents in the brilliancy of our headlight. . Marketfields lights came in sight, and I threw the rope over my head. A long, shrill whistle sounded over the country announcing our coming. As we swung around the curve I re peated it. Good heavens, Harry: Look! look! look!" And-Joe's hand struck me a blow as ho sprang to my side- In a sort of terror, and, grasping the whistle rope, sounded repeatedly: "Down brakes!" I had seen it, too the figure of a woman upon the track, running toward us, as she wildly waved her shawl in the air, one arm uplifted warningly, her face turned full upon us in an agony of ' terror," her flowing golden hair lit up in the light of the engine as we rushed down upon her at a fearful speed. . I reversed the wheels again and again, the whistle hoarsely shrieking out its warning; but too late too late! We were upon her with a fearful shock," hurling her far into the air, mangled and torn. Amid the shrieks of the whistle we rushed around the curve, our 6pced Blackening, when, with a great bound that shook the engine in every joint, it sprang from tho ti'ack, plunging into and ripping up the ties, twisting the rails, lunging from side to side, and then, pitching into the ditch with a shock that flung me insensible from my hold. When I came to I was lying on the floor of a farm-house, while close around me were a crowd of anxious spectators, from whom escaped general , exclamation of joy as opened my eyes and looked up a I at I I them. What did it all mean? My fivst thought was of Nellio. knew how anxious she would be. knew all 'She would 'suffer until she knew I was safe, so I asked for pen and paper, that I might send her a telegram, telling her that I was well aud would' bo in Linden that ' night. whero I would remain. This was forwarded to her at once. They told me then, in a ramblfccg way, each one adding an item, tv4 story of the accident. A broken rail had thrown us from tbe track; and tbe girl whom we had killed had evidently; discovered It while walking home upon the track, and hurrying forward, had hoped to warn us. had miscalculated tho dis tance and speed of 1 the engine, and had been struck before she could turn from its path, having nobly sacrificed herself in order to save the great train and its precious load. So much had been surmised of her Intentions, and Joe and L of course, confirmed the story. She was a lovely girl of 17, the only daughter, they said, of a neighboring farmer John Dixon. "Poor girl! Dear, noble-hearted girl!" I said, wiping away the tears that filled my eyes and choked my ut terance. I sat silent for a moment, thinking what I could do to show my sympathy for tho poor parents in their terribly sad bereavement. At last I called a man to my eide one who seemed to be giving orders and who seemed to have the direction of matters, and steadying my voice, said quietly: "Where is she the poor girl, you know?" "They have taken her home; they took her home as soon as she was Identified, poor dear!," "If you please, I would like to go there, if you taint they would see me. God knows I did not do it, and He knows that I would give this right ami," I said, bitterly, thrust ing it u; into the air, "to have saved the poor girl; but I cannot rest easy, I can never have an easy heart, until I have gone to them and beard them say with their own lips that they for give me. You see," I said, sorrow fully, "I didn't do it of course not I didn't do it Heaven knows how hard I tried to stop up short! But the poor little thing ia dead! It is 11 ovr now; and it was 'Firefly' and I who all. i! So, if you please, if you would be' good enough' to go with me, I would like to go down to them and toll them In such words as I can. howMSleir 'sorrow ris mine,kandhow completely my heart sympathizes with them to-night" I was very stiff and sore and it was with srrne difficulty that I walked across the room, but he kindly gavo me his arm, and I knew I could man age to walk down to the Dixon farm only a spare mile, he said. I was putting on my hat in the hall and adjusting my arm in a sling, pre paratory to starting, when the tramp of many feet was heard on the piazza and the door was flung open. A man stepped into the passageway and held the door for those to enter who were carrying the remains of some poor victim upon a bioi Who is it?" I asked softly, ad dressing him who held wide the door. "The girl," he whispered, as he raised his hat. Ah. poor creature! All I could do for her now was to bow my head rev erently, as they bore her past - me, while my heart swelled with emotion, and in admiration of her noble con duct. ' ., v They laid her down gently, and then, taking off their rough - caps, waited silently for further order. -: The doorway was filled by those who had followed the bier4, tho stair way by those who had come out from the rooms above, some with lights In their hands, and all gazing earnestly, almost curiously, upon the form rest ing so quietly and peacefully in the passageway. All was hushed and still in the crowded doorway, upos the crowded stairway, in the hallway, where stood the six stout farmers who had borne in on their shoulder the bier on which lay the victim. "Ah, poor child!" I said, while my heart throbbed quickly, "how gladly I would give my Ufa to restore yours, so nobly, eo generously given!" Then, in very lovo for . her she seemed near and dear to me in death I leaned over her, and taking one of the dear little hands within my own, kissed it and replaced it gently under tho white sheet from which it had escaped. There was a bustlo in the doorway as of someone passing through the crowd, and sounds as of sobbing and bitter weeping. -Make way for the parents,", was heard from the doorway, and the eager crowd fell back respectfully as a plain farmer and his wifo. camo forward, filling the air with their cries. The sheet was turned back from tho fea tures of the dead girl, and What! Was I mad? Shriek after shriek burst from mo as I . flung ..'up my arms wildly and fell prostrate upon tho body of iny own loved one Nellie! What is there for me to add to my sad tale? Need I tell you of the weary months passed in delirium, the com ing to, and realization of the horrible reality? But of Nellie my own little dar ling. It seems that she had gone to Marketfields that day and had intend ed to return upon my train to Linden. While waiting at the depot 6he learned that the train was two hours late and then decided to walk down the track, and then off by a little side road which led to the house of a friend. Then as the time for tho coming of the train came around.Nel lie started for the depot, accompan ied by a young hoy who carried a lantern. While walking tho track and within half a mile of the depot they discovered the broken rail, and Nellio bid tho boy run In hasto to the depot with the tidings. v "$be heard tbo whistle from the train," said tho boy afterward, "far down through the hills,and just stop ped for. one minute, .while she caught hep hand to her heart, .' and? ber face turned as white as snow. 'Run! run! Jamio!' she cried out, as though her very heart were breaking. Oh, run! run! for Heaven's sakeT And with one awful cry, such as I never heard before, she turned and fled down the track, toward the coming train, away in the darkness." ,, When they found her lying at the side of the track my heart , grows sick as I write these last words they mistook hor for a young girl of the neighborhood, who had been seen on the track shortly before. Of the joys of the parents at tbe discovery of the mistaken identity, and of my desola tion, I Jieed not speak. Many years have come and gone, but time does not sof ton , my' grief, nor : efface frpm my mind the vividness of my last'ride to Marketfields. St, Louis Republic. A Valuable Boy.

A bad small boy there crawled under the bed when his 'mother wanted to punish him. She couldn't get him out, and she left him there until ' his father re turned that evening from the city. When the father came and was told about the case he started to crawl under the bed to bring forth his diso bedient son, but was almost para!yzd when the little fellow asked: "Hello, is she after you, too?" Scriptural Authority for Advertising1. A reverend gentleman, who has charge of the advertising of a promi nent religious weekly, was recently asked what scriptural authority he could find for his occupation. ''Oh," he replied, that is easy enough. Ad vertising not only has scriptural au thority, but is of very respectable an tiquity as well If you wi'l look in Numbers, xxiv, 14. vou will find Balaam saying, 'Come, now, and I will advertise,' and Boaz says in Ruth, iv, 4: 'And I thought to advertise.'
