THE WARNING OVER THE MIKES ;
Or, the McMiage that No Jinn Sent.
The G:20 evening train, No. M, was
over an hour late that night. Cause
enough. Heaven knows. For 12 hours
the M,orm had raged, and now, instead
of .showing any .signs of breaking, the
r:iin eame down in torrents from an
inky sky, and the thunder rumbled
ominously overhead. A bad btorni to
drive an 'engine through, as any body
would have known, and the wonder is
that No. '5'J was not three hours late, in
Meadofone. Old Luke Granger, the
trustiest, nerviest engineer on the road,
rounded the curve just below Red Ha
vine Station at 20 minutes pat 7. I
breathed a sigh of relief when 1 saw
the headlight cut a hole in the darkness.
The -second .station-bridge might have
given way in a
storm like that, ami l
w:is beginning to get
nervous over this
thought.
Somehow every thing made me nerv
ous that night. " It was just the kind of
weather when things look air out of
gear any wav. Then, 1 suppose, the
knowledge oft hat money-package being
due, ana its failing to come on the
1 1 :30, as it should have done, had its
nrfee.L on me. 1 didn't relish the idea
of keeping $13,000 in e:ish until thr
next day. Eldridge & Kicketson had
been down themsehes to meet the
morning train, and, if the package had
come, 1 could have turned it over to
them at once, and that would have been
--the end of the matter. Hut it didn't
eo.i.e. That's a way things have
in this world when you most want 'em.
There wasn't a soul at the station that
ni'ht except myself, and there were on
ly two passengers who got oil tlie tram.
1 speak of 'cm that way, not meaning to
be disrespectful or make light of solemn
things; only it's habit, I suppose; for
most people would say mere was oniy
one passenger that got off at Ked H
vine, seeing that the second of 'cm w;
ia-
IS
carried oufof the express-car in a wood
en box. Usually, when a body was
coming on, I got word of it beforehand,
but this one took me quite by surprise,
and added not a little to the nervousness
1 already felt.
" Who was it?" I asked, as the box-
was carried into the station.
The passenger who had got off the
train, and who was a stranger to me,
answered my inquiry:
"The bodv is that of my sistcr-in-law,"
said he. ' She was the niece of
Thomas Eldridge dotibtles you know
him. Her death was very sudden. She
is to bo buried in Mr. Eldridgc's lot,
" Then I suppose the lady is to be left
in my charge until to-morrow?" said I.
Yes." answered the stranger. "Do
, you suppose I can get to Mr. Eldndge's
'.,.,lf(n.n;Mlt?
"" Well," 1 replied, " it's a good four
.. 1 1. . Mr.MII! .. C? ftl.C 1

"I'll wait until to-morrow," inter
rupted tho stranger. " There is some
c.rf nf a hotel here, isn't there?"
"Yes, a good one. You'll have to
fnot it, though: but it's only a matter of
a quarter of a mile, and you can't miss
your waj', for the road up the hill leads
straight to the house."
Here I made my way out onto tho
platform again and made my way to
the express-car, where the money-pack-'
a-re, which all along I had secretly
hoped wouldn't come, was delivered to
me by the messenger. As he gave it to
me, he said:
" You'll want to keep a sharp eye on
that, Billy. There's enough in it to
make one of your Ked-Ilavmers put a
bullet tbrouglfyour head and nevergive
you the chance to object."
" I'll look out for the lted-llaviners,
ndthe package, too," said I, confi

which the messenger had made.
The train moved off quickly, and I
swunf mv lantern, as was my habit, by
-way of bidding good-night to old Luke
Grander- Then I went into the little
r' station-house with the package clutched
M tightly under 1113- rubber-coat, expecting
tTfintl the man there who had come on
with the body. But he had gone, being
anxious, no doubt, to get to the hotel as
quick as possible. No. 39 was the last
train which stopped at Red Ravine until
6 :10 the next morning. So my work
for the night was done, and I had only
-- s to lock up the doors, see that things
""were all right about the place, and sit
down to my newspaper in me uiue
room which served as my sleeping
quarters
Twenty years had passed since I first
found siyself installed at Red Ravine as
teleTapn operator in the railway station.
Being content with the humdrum sort
of life, ana lauuiui w- iu) uuues, x. jiu
come by degrees to attend to all the
work which the place required. That

unrips acting for the express company
dnd continuing my charge of the tele

de it pretty close work for me, but
Jheyall yielded a very comfortable in

satisfied ambitions, I counted myself

me elsewhere. My duties had grown a
sort of second nature, and I had lived
in the little town so long that the
younger generation had come" to speak
ofmc as "Old Hilly." That wan, I
suppose, becaUfO my hair wa4 getting
gray anil my joints a trifle stifi.
The Red Ilavine Station wa a wooden
building, about 40 feet long by 20 wide.
It was divided into two compartments,
the larger one being for freight and bag
gage, and the smaller one for passengers.
My own little room was only a piece
partitioned off from the freight quarter,
about JO feet H-unre, and connected by
a door with the box of an office In the
passengers room, which served both
for selling tickets and holding the tele
graph key. In this latter apartment,
also, was placed the old-fashioned iron
safe, in which I locked up valuable
express packages when any happened
to corne to lied Itarine. The village,
I ought to. explain, had grown up
entirely through the influence of
tho great iron-works of Eldridge
& 1'iekcUon. There were rich beds of
ore a few miles to the north, and thew,
a well as tho big foundry, which cm
ployed four or five hundred hands, were
controlled by the firm I have mentioned.
There has been some trouble at the
works recently a strike or something
growing out of delay in paying the men
their wages. That is how it happened
that the $ 13,000 money package eame
into my keeping for a night.
Well, when I had juadc all snug about
the station, and got off my wet clothing,
I sat down comfortably with pipe and
newspaper, to enjoy my customary read-'
ing. The storm outride continued to
rage more and more fiercely, but within
things were as cozy as could be. I had
a hhizing fire in tho stove, a cheerful
light, an easy chair, plenty of good to
bacco the one luxury in which I was
really extravagant a fresh newspaper,
and a bottle of good 'Holland gin,
wherewith to make my regular noc
turnal toddy. Certainly, these were
pleasant surroundings for an old fellow
like me, and, as a rule, they yielded :is
much solid comfort as a man lias a right
to expect in this world. But that night
things all seemed out of gear, as I have
said. My pipe didn't soothe me as was
its wont; try as I might, I couldn't get
interested in the newspaper; an uncom
fortable feeling of dread a feeling that
some shadowy but horrible thing was
about to happen possessed my mind ;
and even when 1 mixed tip a toddy con
siderably stronger than usual it failed to
bring tlfo relief I had hoped for.
" It all comes of that pesky money
package," I muttered to nrysclf. " Why
couldn't it have got here on the 1 1 :3U,
and saved me the job of keeping it over
night? "
.lust at that moment came a terrific
clap of thunder, and a" flash of light-
ninir vivid cnoimh to make the lanitv
seem dim. I had locked up the pack
age in tho safe, and put the key there
w:is no combination lock in my pocket.
Hut I had not the largest faith in the
security ot the old. sale, it nau oos.
eurred to me often that a person could
open it, even if he wasn't a skillful
cracksman. It was my custom to leave
my door open between my littlo room
and the Ticket-office, so that if Ked Ka
vine Wits called on the telegraph-key I
could hear it. The instrument had
been clicking away at a great rate for
the last hour; but as it was none of iny
business, 1 had paid no attention to
what was going over the wires. I
judged now, from the clearness of the
lightning and the jerk sounds of the
instruments, that the storm was play
ing Ihe mischief with the messages. I
passed into the Ticket-office, where a
light was left burning, and stood for
some time thinking whether the money
package would be less exposed in the
safe than it would be under the mat
tress of my bed ; and I finally concluded
that tho latter place would be hardest
for any possible thief to reach. So I
took out tlie heavy brown envelope, and
stowed it away "under tho mattress.
Then I took a "second glass of toild,
which was usually against my rule, but
which I thought the circumstances war
ranted. Once moro I sat down to-iny newspa--per
and pipe, but with no better success
than before. The storm seemed now to
have centered right over tho little sta
tion, real after peal of thunder rent
the air, and the lightuing played about
tho sky like phosphorus on an inky back
ground. If you have ever chanced to be
in a telegraph office during a thunder
storm, you may have seen the electricity
dash down the wires in a way to make
timid people nervous. Even veteran
operators, like myself, wouldn't want to
undertake to receive that sort of mes
sage. I was tempted to close tho key,
but the meaningless ticking had a sort
of fascination for me in the mood I then
was. iL was iiko iiiu uiuoneiciiL iuui-

terings of a maniac, where now and
then, at long intervals only, could one
distinguish a word or sentence. Maybe
the extra allowance of toddy had made
me more imaginative than usual, and
given a weird coloring to my thoughts;
lor, listening to the rapid click-click, I
remember of fancying that some spirit
hand had got hold of tho key, and was
pouring out a wail of woe over the
wires. " "
I was too restless to sit still and too
nervous to go to bed. Besides, even if I
hadn't been so upset in my mind, it is
doubtful whether I could have slept
through such a storm as that. To occu
py myself about something, I relighted
my .lantern, went ont into the freight
room, examined again the bolts of the
doors and the fastenings of the windows,
and returned to my room moro'worried.
and upset than ever. Just as I was en
tering my own nest, the light of "Ihe
lantern fell squarely on the wooden box.
Oddly enough, until that moment I had
forgotten all about the dead young wom
an. Thinkingso steadily of the 13,000
had, I suppose, driven the box out of
1113 mind. But I can't say it was any
comfort to havo it brought back now;
for a corpse is never the most cheerful
of company, and, feeling as I did then,
I would a frreat deal rather have had no
company at all.
It must have been the imp of the per
verse, I suppose, that compelled me, af
ter the box had been brought back to
my mind, to leave the door open so that
I could sit and stare at it with morbid
curiosit3. As I have alread3 said, my
sleeping apartment was partitioned off
from tlie freight room, and was con
nected with tho latter by a door. The
body had been placed in such a position
that, when this door was open, the head
of the box was in sight. Two or three
times I got up to sbutthe door,hutsome
strange fatality drove me back to my
chair, and caused me to keep in view
the box with its sad freight. All this
time the storm raged, tho thunder dis
charged its mighty batteries, the light
ning dashed, angthe mad ravings of the
tolrr-.nH vmttnnpil TfVJ-icrTii-TriTrTmnfl
trembling as I tried to refill my pipe.
-Nervousness, no aouoi; out possioiy an1
observer might have thought Old Billy
was frightened.
I had just risen to wind the little
clock on the shelf, when suddenly out
of the hitherto meaningless ticking of
the instrument sharply and distinctly
came to my ear these sounds:
which in spoken words meant :
WATCH THE BOX!
I started as if a charge of electricity
had shot through my frame. I could
fairly feel my face grow white. I stood
motionless, clutching the back of the
chair and with my e3es riveted in a va
cant stare at the table in the ticket-office.
I knew this was no work of an excited
imagination. The words, to my prac
ticed ear, were as plain as if shouted in

It was fully five minute before I mus
tered courage to, pa-a iato the ticket
office and ftit down at the table myself.
Not once in that time bad.I turned back
to look at the lox. Almost on the in
stant of my sitting down at the table
the clicking stopped .'bort, a? it had
done before, and then tboc words were
repeated :
WATCH THE OX !
Everv dot, every dash, even letter,
every word, came with such horrible
distinctness that it seemed to send a
sharp pain tingling through my ears.
It was like tlfo loud whUpering.of souit
crho-tlv voice.' Then, ajram broke our
the jargon of-hound that turned the
clicking intormenningleconii(n. t
I sprangup from the table," and,-with
the now.sircnfrtheucd conviction that it
w:is no delusion, no.fauciv but.that the:
sound had coma plainly over thet wires,!
I felt 1113 courage reluming, and re
solved to heed the mysterious warning.
TIhj rolling of thej thmi'ler and thejnad
roar of the storm no 'longer depressed
me. I stepped Iwldly back into my own
roouirnd jested iny eye wiUlBchingly
on the'wooden box. What was its nays
tenons1 freight? Why bacLihtfphantoin
of the storm sent thosu startliug word
over the wires? What unknown hand
had reached out from the very lightning
itself to warn me of some impending
danger? These question rushed through
my mind as 1 felt the dread fear disap
pearing, and found niysclf of a sudden
grown strangely calm.
The clock struck 10. I turned to the
shelf, and, wi.h a hand that no longer
trembled, inserted tho kc, and wound
it compo--edl3. Would it bo the last
time that I should perforin that simple
ask? No matter. dla!iier limn most
men, because content Aitfi my "humble
lot, it should never be said "that Old
Billy flinched in the face of ilntj. For
that night it was 1113 luty my one sa
cred, all-important duty to guard the
treasure left to 1113' safe-keeping. And
guard it I would while life remained.
When ! had finished winding the
clock, I took down from tho shelf aif
old nist3 pistol, which liad lam for
3'cars undisturbed. It was not loaded,
nor had I either powder or bullet an3
whero in the station. But the weapon
was ugb looking, and carried a sort of
silent force in e:ue of too aggressive ar
gument. After examining the nM3
lock, I put the pistol on the table, made
a fresh glass of todtby, drai.k it, lighted
1113 pipe, and closed tho door that
opened into tho freight-rtoiu. - .Now
that f 'was ' thoroughly myself again,
I found it easy enough to shut out the
sight of that ominous oblong box.
It was not until the clock struck again,
that is, eleven that I made up ni3 mind
to go to bed. All this time tho storm
held on, although the thunder had be
gun to nimble more distantly. I threw
off my coat and -slippers, put out the
light in the ticket-office, and turned
that in 1113 sleeping-room down
to a low flame. Then T drew
the money-package from under the
mattress and pinned it securely to my
woolen shirt under 1113 vest. This d6no,
and with the table so placed tfiat I could"
reach both the lamp ami the pistol, I
opened the door into tho freight-room
some three or four inches, and .then
threw 1113'sclf upon the bed. Just as
1113 hcad'touched the pillow the instm
ment, whicliJidd" grown quiet, now,
clicked off for the third time, I0111II3,
distinctly, slowly, its words of warning:
M'ATCII thk uox!
This "time" the"1 warning was not
needed. 1 had not gone to bed to sleep,
butfor'the very purpose of watching
the box. Standing :ts it did, with the
head close to tho door, and therefore
close to the box itself, the bed afforded
the veryibestpoint from which to keep

notdikely that this narrative would ever
have beeu written. But I bclievedin the
thrice-repeated 'message,' and 1 did not"
let drowsiness overcome patience.
Twelve, one, two how very sfowby the
hours seemed, to drag themselves ! The
low flame of the lamp went out, as the
oil had ran dry. - What a relief it was
to hear the clock strike? At'last, some
where about midnight, the -etorrarhad
broken. I could see the stars -as they
came out, through the window in the
freight-room, which was on a line of
vision with the box. How strangely
still it seemed after, tho mighty roar of
the storm and the sharp chips of thun
der! Not a click from the instrument
no'w. Not a sound save the steady tick
ing of the clock. Still I lay listening,
watching, with? faculties fall alert and
my eyes aIwa3s'onthe dbI5hg oox.
A little past two-perhaps ten min

profoundness. Nothing but the tick-tick

wii too j
late. With the rust- old pistol, held
by its long barrel, I dealt him a enisl
ing blow on the head-jim-as his fingers
grawped his own weapon. He fell
heaviby, without uttering a groan. Th
lantern was extinguished a it fell, and
with trembling fingers I struck" a match
and lighted the lamp in the office. Ai
hs rays fell upon the uptunwd face of
the robber, J saw that blood wa flow
ing from Ihe wound I had inflicted, and
I saw, too, that the man's face was
delicate in its outlines and intelligent
in expression. I had time, to notice no
more, for I felt now that the long, ncrv
om strain was over now that the
danger was past the need of aid. So,
after hurriedh binding the unconscious
man's feet and anus and bathing his
head in cold water, I pulled on my
1kkLs and overcoat and started in hot
haste for (fafTidjCl. ,.
Half way on tlie road I met a covered'
carriage, drawn by one hono. I took it
to no tne turnout ot Alauticws, uie uoiex
proprietor, and, wondering where he
could be out for at that hour, I shouted
his name. I cot no response- Then I
juried out at the top of my voice:
" " I've killed a burglar down at tne
station!"
Whoever was in the carriage mutt
have heard uie, but the horse only quick
ened Ids sharp trot and disappeared in
.the darkness.
TI1C3 give me a great deal more
credit, the people of lied Kavine, for
that night's adventure, than I deserve.
And I do not blame them for laughing
at how things came out. For when a
part3 of us got back to the station, my
unconscious burglar had disappeared,
and the tracks next morning" showed
that the covered carriage, which I had
met on the mad, had drawn up at the
platform. Who was in it? Well, I
couldn't swear, but I have a notion that
it contained the gentleman who had
come on with tho dead both. At all
events, neither he nor the boi3 was ever
seen in the town again. I had the sat
isfaction of, delivering the money-package
safeby to Eldridge & UickeUion, but
the check the gave me was really not
merited. For what would have hap
pened had it not been for the notorious
message which no man sent?

dispute augmented into a quarrel, and
the quarrel into violent threats. It was
well known that both parties were men
of nerve. Smilo3 had won a reputation
of being desperate in a personal en
counter. Alexander, though he had
never been credited with shedding blood,
was considered a man with whom it
would not be safe to trifle. All efforts
to settle the misunderstanding failed,
and thoso who were acquainted with the
circumstances expected that bloods lied
would be tho ultimate result. Several
days ago, the da3 when the encounter
took place, Smiley came to Hot Springs.
Alexander was in the town. Smiley
went to the bank and asked of the
Cashier:
" Have 'ou seen Alexander?"
Tlie Cashier replied that he had not
seen him, but understood that he was in
town.
"I am going to kill him beforo 4
o'clock," exclaimed Smile3, and, turn
ing, left tho bank. Aiter.leaying the
bank, he had not gone far'when he met
Alexander. The furious aspect imme
diatclyjassmned by each man illustrated
the"fact "that violcneo would ensue.
Alexander drew a large revolver, and,
mshing upon Smile3, stnick him over the
head. Smiley staggered back, and drew
a French self-cocking revolver, and, with
a rapidity almost beyond the capacity of
enumeration, fired six shots at Alex-
andcr. Three shots took effect, a ball
striking each arm and anothpr going
throttgii-his lungs.- Alexander's plstoK
dropped from his hand. He attempted
to recover it, but his right arm had been
paralyzed by the ball. He grasped it
with his left hand, but tlie left arm hav
ing been also wounded, he was unable
txjcktha weBpon.fSmiley was upon,
him. With acool, desperate presence
ofmind, Alexander. .kicked his pistol in
to a saloon near which -thc encounter
occurred. Then entering, he stooped
and caught the muzzle ofnis pistbl with
his leftjiandj raised it up, -and cocked.it
with his foot lie lifted, tlie pistolfrom
the floor. Smilc3 stood outside, peep
ing around a door-post, with only a part
of his head exposed. Alexander nerv
ously lifted the weapon, took deliberate
aim and fired. The ball plowed along
the post Jiehiad'rhich Smiley 'stood,
half burying'itielf, and, striking Smiley
in the forehead, went through his brain.
Smiley fell deatl, and Alexander, turn
ing, sank from loss of "blood.
A large crowd witnessed the encount
er, and the greatest of excitement pre
vailed. The wonder, is that, several
men were nor killed;' for when Smiley1

This destructive dbuaio h:v begun ith
annual ravages. It it piuliurly a dis
ease of the uiuter, when constant corn
feeding, clo-io confinement to unwhole
some quarters, and general disagreea
bleness and uuht-althfulnes.s of treat
ment bring on Intestinal dls-irder. Tli
bright yellow evacuations and paleness
of the comb and wattles denote bilious
and intestinal derangement. The dls
easo is a true tvphoidand enteric fever.
Tho liver is diseased, anil tho bowels
are inflamed and gangrenous. It is ir
ulent and contagion, and spreads from
farm to fanu ntpldly. In n3 c:uo last
year, it affected every farm along a road
10 miles from where it started, until it
reached mine, and, in spite of even
precnution'that 1 then knew of," it nf
lected my flock to Vonid extent. Uy
cleaning down the house, digging up the
f;round, covering even thing with hot
ime-wash, killiug every fowl that w-is
sick and burying tho carcases, tho tits
ease was arrested after some loss. This
3ear it is again prevalent, but only one
of my flock has been affected so far.
The hen was removed into a separate
shed and put in quarantine ; a full gniln
dose of blue pill was given dahy for four
days, but no food. After four das a
baked potato, hot from tho oven; was
mashed with plenty of salt ami pepper
and given to tho hen. She ate this with
eagerness, ami I considered hot safe.
One hot potato, welljtcppered, was -riven
daiby until, tlie door of the shed be
ing left ajar, she escaped and returned
to the flock, weak, but otherwise well
If an3 new case occurs, the blue pill and
a course of starving will be tried again,
but, b3 giving plent3 of hot baked pota
toes, with pepper and salt, and tin uc
of disinfectants, I hope to avoid the dis
ease. I'RUNIN' owirAUPS.
The present is n good time for prun
ing orchards. This work Is often done,
apparently, for no other pnrpos than
to do some snrt of porfuncttny work in
hashinjr up the trees. I rces should be
mmedand thinned out, and so, with ax
in hand, the owner goes over them and
butchers them miserably. The rough
wounds inflicted do not heal, but rot be
gins, and in a short time the trees are
useless, if not dead. How rare is it to
come across a good looking old orchard,
vcnerablo with age, but 3et trim, neat,
and sound in limb and trunk. Fniit
trees exist in Ktirope that are historical
in their age, and in this count r there
arc trees from which the old Indian
tribes gathered fniit before the3 were
crowded from the banks of the beautiful
Delaware. But now, an orchard JJO
years old is a ruin, and unless trees are
Clanted every few j'cars, a farmer mnst
113- his fruit. Much of this is due to
the rough pntning tho trees undergo,
and more to the continual cropping of
the orchards. Perhaps something of it
is owing to the root grafting which does
nbt seem to produce long lived trees,
top-grafted trees seeming to be more
vigorous than others. But bad pruning
has much to answer for. One can not
prune b3 system. Each tree must be
studied separateh and in regard to some
definite principles. For instance, pnm
ing is intended to relieve the tree of
useless or superabundant wood ; to take
away less important branches that
crowd and press upon others; to reduce
the quantity of bearing wood, and so
preserve the vitality and balance of the
tree' lastl, to remove disfigured,
blighted and diseased wood. Now, with
these rules in mind, let one examine
carefully each tree before he cut .way
a twi," and note where and what he
should cut away, and then mind how
he cuts. Xo ax should be used about a
tree except to cut it down when it cum
bers the ground. A sharp, .fine-toothed,
long, narrow-hladed saw is the proper
pruning implement., v suarp himu wiiu
a curving blade-that makes a draw-cot,
and a pot of shellac varnish shonld go
with the saw. Every thing that is re
moved should be cut close to the main
wood, trimmed smoothly with the knife,
and the wound covered with the varnish.
The varnish is shellac dissolved in al
cohol. This leaves a .water and air
proof covering over the wound. The
work may be begun now and continued
as opportunity offers. There need then
be no hurry. Young trees should be
put in training now for future pruning.
Three or four main limbs "only should
be left, so as to balance the head. All
in-growing shoots'" should be removed
close to the main branch, so 'that no bud
is left to sprout. Each main side limb
may fork into two tir three sub-branches,
spreading fan-like around the central
limb, if there is one. The sub-branches
shonld be encouraged to start low, so
that a low, round, compact, spreading
head mar be produced. Much may be
done in forming the bead by tyingdown,
or Kauri ng weight upon limbs that are
incliaea to wander frora the way they
should go, so that when they are old
they will not depart, from it. " As.the
