you both saw tho indistinct outlines of
the young lady's shadow as thrown from
II upon the darkness in tho cut beyond
the range of the electric rays. You might
travel thousand miles without coming
on another spot where such q result would
appear. Now, hurry up and let's get
away"
"How do you account for the uplifted
arm?" inquired Jasper.
THAT is easily explained. When
found the young lady she was sitting
with her right arm holding to the brace
rod that runs from the headlamp to the
front of the pilot, just as she might have
done had she been awake Besides your
Imagination helped the illusion made by
q combination of Jack Frosts looking
glasses, the electric headlight and sleep
walking young lady. Queerest thing
ever heard of.
"Queer2 | should say it was" echoed
old Jasper, as he turned on the steam and
plunged into the tunnel as if he meant to
make up the fifteen minutes of lost time
Il should say it was queer. But for
heavens sake, don't tell the boys, or
they'll laugh me off the road"
The conductor promised to keep the
matter a secret, and was as good as his
word The story was told by old Jasper
himself one day last week, as his contri-
button to the tales of the rail being re
lated by party of striking engineers

ESSEX JUNCTION..

The Baptist church of this place is being
repaired and as q consequence that denomi-
nation have now no place for worship APP
plication was made by them to the com
mittee having in charge the Union church
for permission to use that building Sunday
mornings. a time when il is not in use by
either the MethoIlists or COngreGationaliStS.
The permission was given. and notice to that
effect was made Sunday afternoon. Upon
looking up the constitution OF the society
which owns that church il was found that
no denominations save the Methodist and
CongreEatiOnalist should occupy the church
for religious services without the consent
of the pastors of the congregations owning
the church. At the evening service Sunday,
one of the pastors knowing nothing
OF the whole matter, even that the
RaptistS had asked permission to wor-
ship in the church, the appointment for
Baptist services next Sunday was rescnded.
Some feeling over the matter seems to have
been developed, but nothing serious is APP
pretended, and it is probable that the per-
mission will be extended SO far as the I'M
consulted pastor is concerned.
