no person in this land of liberty has any

his life in jeopardy if he himself elects

The laws against getting on or of
moving trains in England are very strict,
and also in guarding the tracks i the
stations and vicinity, and are not to be
infringed upon or broken with impunity,
"a an American friend recently found to
his sorrow.
He CHANGED to be on a train going to
London, and had written to have his lug
gage sent from certain point t. meet
him, to be put on board the train at an
intermediate station, where also his wife
and son were to get on. Arrived at the
latter place, where the train stopped a
few moments, he LIT the railway CA
riage, put his family on board, and
sought for his luggage to place on the
train; but in vain. Meanwhile the time
for starting arrived, yet still he tarried,
thinking to jump on at the last moment
American fashion, and started to do so,
but WAS restrained BY an official.
"But l must 20 on this train; my
wife's aboard" said the anxious Ameri-
can.
Cant help it, sir; trains in motion
against regulations"
"But you are going" said the traveller,
as be marked the long train gradually
moving, car after car, past them, and the
official preparing to take his place.
"Certainly; I'm the guard--last man
on. l take the van. Stand back"

the conductor, pushed back the Ameri-
can and leaped to his place on the step
Of the gusrd's van, or last carriage in
the train.
Quick as he was, the American was
equal to him, Cor with two or three
bounds, despite the cries and rush of
the pofters, he leaped after the guard,
chung to him on the step of the carriage,
and both we're whirled out of the sta
tion in that manner, after which thew
fumoled into the compartment of the
guard together. The official was white
with rage.
