the depot and even the marshal joined the

The return trip was made after dark,
and the train sped along a5 fearful rate
of speed. The ezcursioaists were all Ii

You. see, sid the engineer, this man
was tranping through the woods when he
came TO the track and found two train
wreckezs tamperirg with the rails. Well,
this tramp, or whatever he is, jumped OF
the two scoundrels like tiger. He dis
abled one Of them, but the other stabbed
him in the side and ran away. So he built
fire on the track, and as soon IS saw it
stopped the train.
Just then several passengers came up
with the wounded wrecser. who had been
seriously injured by the tramp.
The villain evidently thought that he
was MORALLY wounded, for he made full
confession

that we owe debt OF gratitude to our
preserver. Many men in this tx would
not have turned ever hand to save Us. ="

Almost in every 'o3tros' lookup
there is a corridor nearly underground
which has the moisture and smell Of a
grave. In this corridor are the cells for
the more important common law prisoners

walls Water IS continually oozing from
beneath the floor. 4 small painted win

There is no bedstead, no bed. The prison

With worms and myriads OF feas; and for
a bed they have rotten straw, for cover
ing their poor overcloth torn TO pieces
The moist and cold air makes one shiver.
