A THRILLING EPISODE.

Io,ometive Ensineer'- Instinct How he
On one of the darkesf and sforTniesr niehfa
of the recent unusual winter, the express Of
one of the leading New York railroads was
moving westward from Albany. The engines
headlight threw strong reflection In advance
but the storm was so binding il was almost
impossible TO distinguish anything even at a
short distance. Under such circumstances in
stinct necessarily takes the place of sight All
seemed 10 be going well, when, in an
instant, the engineer reversed his engine ap-
piled the air brakes, and came to a full stop
Why he did 50 he could not tell any more than
any Of us can account for the dread of COM
ing disaster and death, and to the wondering
inquiry of his fireman, he simply said: II
feel that something's wrong" Selling a
lantern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward To investigate
Everything appeared TO be right, and he was
about TO return TO his engine when his eve
caught sight Of a peculiar appearance at the
joint of the rail next 10 him Brushing the
accumulated snow away, he looked moment,
and then uttered 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
Il train-wrecking is unknown, but il was pre-
,umed the confederates of some prisoners who
we're on the train hoped, in the confusion Of
an accident, to deliver their friends
Engineer John Donohoe. of Albany. to
whose wonderful instinct was due the saliva
ton of the train, when asked by the writer
why he stopped his engine, said:
II can't tell why. l only know felt some
thing was wrong
$40 you have these feelings often when
upon the roadF 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 thatl'
"Why, have been victim of one of the
worst cases of dyspepsia ever known. have
not been confined to my bed as like thousands
Of others, | am compelled to work whether
able or not. Indeed, when it first began
had only loss of appetite, a faint feeling
that would not go away and a bad taste in the
mouth, but finally got those terrible craving
and gnawing feelings that make life SO un-
bearable and are known as general debility
''What did you dor
81 tried physicians until / became discour-
aged. l gave eight different ones fair tests
but none of them benefited me- | then tried
proprietary medicines, but they failed like
wise. 1t looked pretty dark for me so far as
any more peace or enjoyment in this world
We're concerned and l became terribly discour-
agedn
''You certainly do not look that way now. y
"Oh, no, indeed, am in perfect health now, :"
was the reply, land | propose to continue so
My nervousness is entirely gone; | can sleep
nights; the aching numbness has disappeared;
the pale, sickly appearance has given place to
the color of health, and / have readily put on
flesh This is what has been accomplished by
means of Warmers Tippecanoe. If | can be
cured after chronic illness of nearly quar-
ter of a century | believe all suffering in a
similar manner can be restored by using the
same great remedy"
Such is the testimony of a 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
rot how 4
so mslch for him and can do as much for all
those who require it.
