The use of coupling stick Is now ordered and

moro than one-half the interest and rental that
the court has ordered paid, there is certainly lit
tie reason to expect that they viii pay interest
or rental on any portion OF these systems which
the court does not order them to- and as the Wa
bash people have defaulted on both interest and
rental due in June and July on the J., p. & G.

this late day meet their habiiIfias Thirty days
from now, under the lease, the l., p. & G. revets

Is the improvement Healthy in Character?
The sharp advance in railroad stocks, the last
few days, is exciting speculation and the ques-
ton is whether confidence is really being re-
stored, or whether the advance is the work Of
the manipulators. The Philadelphia Press fears
the improvement is due to the manipulations of
Jay Gould and his followers. The Press says:
Sometime, possibly this year, more possibly in
the future, the projectors Of enterprises in this
country will discover that before public conf
dence is fully restored, railroad management
must be redeemed from the corrupt methods and
bad management of the past. This reformation
must include the conduct of the corporations
in the interests OF the owners; the issue.
of the condition Of the property no
secret contracts or rebates or other perquisities
for insiders; the abolition Of the power to make
or unmake contracts affecting the price of stock,
privately, and to the advantage of few officers.
1t must be made impossible for the president
who is short to get out of his scrape by issuing
new stock over night or the president who Is
long to sell out on information unknown to the
stockholders, or for any president in whatso
ever condition he may be as to the stock market,

time it sounded its rattle. Instantly my
wife opened her eyes, and some way they
rested on the snake. | could see that
every vestige OF color had left her face,
but she did not move a muscle. Then
her eyes slowly left the snake and came
up to mine.
Looking back over the nearly thirty
years which have elapsed since then can
see the look in her eyes yet. We had
sometimes talked about meeting death to-
gether. Now 1t lay between us and in
more horrible form than we had ever
dreamed of. Yet the look of perfect con.
fidence in me which my wife's eyes al
most spoke was something man does
not see more than once in lifetime.
That look seemed to say, for baby's sake,
and like q flash became as cool as | am
at this moment. / could not speak but
my wife understood that she must keep
perfectly quiet and jump. When the
time came, slowly and with infinite care
| raised my head till could look down
the bed to the floor beyond. My wife's
eyes followed mine and we both saw
the dog. The hideous head of the snake
swayed to and fro, and knew that what
was done must be done quickly. looked
at my wife and she realized my plan.
Her eyes filled with tears but gave con-
sent. With prayer for help moistened
my lips and gave one short, sharp whistle.
! The snake l think didn't know what to
make of it, but the dog, Leo, did. As
quick almost as thought he sprang to his
feet and bounded on the bed. To this

dog moved, but it did not. As the dogs
body rose in the air my wife caught hold
of the baby's garments and rolled out of
bed. l rolled out on my side, grasped my
rifle, which stood at the head of the bed,
and turned. The dog aud the snake were
rolling together on the bed. l caught
sight of the snakes head and fired, and
the reptile was past doing any harm. The
dog staggered off the bed to the floor,
shivered, moaned once or twice, looked
from my wife to myself with more love
than 1 ever saw before or since in any
animals eyes, and died.

buried the dog and started for the village.

was visiting my cousin, and before sun
set we were on our way to Massachusetts.
L built another mill in the East, and we
prospered and grew rich. Other children
came to make our home happy. and there

cheerfully and think we had made good
bargain. "-Selected.
