AN ingenious gentleman of this city is
engaged in making a chart or tree of the
famous Tytus-Dickey case and all its
ramifcations. That buggy-ride consti-
tutes the trunk, and from this shoot out
the branches, each indicating one of the
results of that ride. The most promi-
nent is the baby. Then COME the breach
of promise and bastardy suits, the libel
suits, the assaults, and the trials of these
cases. the Mccarthy burglary, and all
the cases that grew out of that affair, in
cluding the unfinished porcupine suit.
As new branch is seen, the artist puts
it on his tree. He says he will finish it
ifhe lives, and that it will beat the book
by all odds.

horse in the stab g. Don't you remember :?
The others were sent to town yesterday
Before old Wbately could stop her, she
had ordered the hester to- saddle Selim,
and she wasalready battoning on her rid
ing habit with rapid. nervous fingers.
The horse came paving to the door.
Floss sprang into the saddle, leaned down
and kissed her fathers forehead.
"Pray Heaven to speed mep she cried,
hoarsely, and touching the hoarse with
her whip, he bounded down the sharp de-
clivity.
1t was raining steadily now, and the
gloom was intense, but Selim was used to
to the road, and no was sute-footed, and
lis rider courageous. She urged him on
OF the top of his speed, up hill and down,
through Pine Valley, and over Pulpit
Hill, and then she struck upon the smooth
road which stretched away to Leeds, two
miles, and straight as an arrow,
She could see the headlight on the pay
train far down the valley, distinctly now,
and to her excited fancy it. seemed but a
stones throw away. She even thought
for moment that she heard the grind of
the wheels on the iron track, but no it.
was only the soughing of the wind in the
pines.
On, and still on she went. Selim
seemed to. fly. One might have tancied
that that he knew his mistres was on an
errand of life and death. The lights OF
the station were in view-nay, she even,
saw station-master's white lantern as he
strolled up and down the platform-the
white lantern which was to signal the ap-
preaching train-to tell them to 90 on,
for all was well. On to their doom
She dashed across the railway track,
flung the reins to an amazed bystander,
and, striking the white lantern from the
hand of the astonished official, she seized
the ominous red lantern from its hook,
and springing upon the track, waved it in
the very teeth Of the coming train.
Two sharp, short whistles told her that
her signal was seen, and o moment later
the train came to stop, and the officers
rushed out to learn what it all meant.
Floss told them in a few brief words,
and one of the men at the station went
forward to. confer with .he train from
Golosha, which had not yet been tele-
graphed from the next station beyond. .
The man waited fifteen minutes before
Kirke's train slid ON to the siding, AMI it
was then known that but for the decision
of one young girl, the two trains must
have collided four miles beyond Dering's
Cut.
When told the story Kirke looked at his
watch
The man from the station looked at
his.
| Kirke's tcas ten minutes behind time!
e. You want to know how it happened.
Certainly you must have guessed. Halli-
day did it. A man was found the next

pering with the time-pieces in the engine
house that night, but he had thought
nothing Of it, he said.
"Jack? Oh, lie left town, and was last
heard of in Australia. His little game was
not a success.
A few months later. Klrke was mar
ricd to Floss Whately, for being ten
minutes behind time.

Wilmington, of Newburyport, says that

visited invited him to drink. He must

all the public schools and to abolish the
schools heretofore devoted to colored
pupils. The colored folks, however, say
they will have none of it, their principal
reason for opposition being that the plan
will throw all their own teachers and jan
itors out of situations. 49,,
