A THRILLING EPISODE.


A. Locomotive Engineers Instinct.dow
he Saved Train and How he Saved
HimselE
On ons OF the darkest and stormiest nights Of
the recent unusual winter, the express on one
Of the leading New York railroads was moving
shrew strong reflection in advance, but the
storm was SO binding 1t was almost impossible
to distinguish anything even at short distance.
Under such circumstances instinct necessarily
takes the place of sight Allseemed to be going
well, when, in an instant, the engineer reversed
full stop. Why he did so he could not tell
any more than any OF us can account for the
dread Of coming disaster and death, and to the
wondering inquiry Of his fireman he simply
said; II feel that something's wrong" Seizing
a lantern he swung himself down from the cab
and went forward to investigate. Everything
appeared to be right, and he was about to re-
turn to his engine VIXEN his eye caught sight
Of peculiar appearance at the joint OF the
rail next to him. Brushing the accumulated
snow away, he looked q moment, and then ut
tered an exclamation Of horror. The rails on
both sides had been unspiked and would have
turned over the instant the engine touched
them. What inspired this attempt at train
wreeklng is unknown, but it was presumed the
confederates OF some prisoners who were on the
train hoped, in the confusion Of an accident to
deliver their friends.
wonderful instinct was due the salvation Of the
train, when asked by the writer why he stopped
his engine, said:
II can't tell why. I only know 1 felt some
thing was wrong"
'Do yon have these feelings often when upon
the road?" continued the writer.
mo, very seldom, although for the past
twenty years have been in a condition to feel
apprehension at almost anything"
"How is that?"
"Why, I have been victim Of one Of the
worst cases Of dyspepsia ever known. have
OF others, am compelled to work whether able
or not. Indeed, when it frat began had only
loss of appetite. faint feeling that would
not go away and bad taste in the mouth, but
finally got those terrible craving and knawing
feelings that make life 30 unbearable and are
known as general debility"
"What did you do Z"
81 tried physicians until became dis
couraged. gave eight different ones fair tests,
but none of them benefited me. Ithen tried
proprietary medicines, but they failed, likewise.
1t looked pretty dark for me SO far as any more
peace or enjoyment in this world were con-
cerned and became terribly discouraged"
You certainly do not look that way now."
"Oh, no, indeed, am in perfect health
now" was the reply "and propose TO con-
tinue SO. My nervousness is entirely gone: I
can sleep nights; the aching numbness has
given place to the color OF health, and I have
readily put on flesh. This is what has been
accomplished by means of Warmers Tppecanoe.
II can be cured after chronic Hines Of nearly
quarter OF a century believe all suffering in
similar manner can pe restored by using the
same great remedy"
Such is the testimony of man who could
detect and remove unseen danger on the road
but could not remove the dangers from within
his own system until brought face to face with
the great preparation above-named which did 80
much for him and can do as much for all those
who require it
