Aside, with resolutions icy look

And frowning asks, "What now, fair Mercy? say

he got her near the western limits of the
yard he saw the crowd of roughs which
he had anticipated. But he paid no at
tention to their shouts. He let ont as
much steam as he dare, grabbed a stick
of cord word in one haRd and his pistol
in the other, and waited for the mob
They tried to climb on to the enfine, but
King knocked one down with the stick of
wood and winged another with his pistol.
The engine was already going ten miles
an hour, much faster then the crowd
supposed, and Tom King was already
past them. But he was not out OF reach
of their revolvsrs, and twenty bullets
came whistling into the cab. Tom felt
that he was shot in several places, but he
was alive, and that, for the time being,
was all he cared about. He gave the
throttle jerk, and the cid engine went
bounding forward. With blood stream
ing off his face and down his left arm -
with a checking sensation IN his lungs,
and singing pain in one leg-he piled
in the wood and coal until the locomotive
fairly danced over the track. It was a
fearful ride at terrible speed-a ride to
which that drunken ride on No. 404 was
not a circumstance. The miles few by
one by one. Tom looked at his watch.
In twenty minutes No. s would be at the
trestle. He ought to be up with her very
soon. All, thank God, there she is about
two miles ahead! The poor fellow felt
his strength giving out as the blood still
flowed, and he prayed as he never prayed
before that that he might be able TO hold
on few minutes longer. The sparks
flew out of the smokestack, and the black
smoke pulled out in thick volume. Tom
opened the whistle, and hoarse, eerie,
screech was the result, but he could not
attract the attention of the trainmen on
No. s. Closer and closer and closer King
brought his old engine up 10 the train.
There were not hundred yards between
them when on curve, the engineer of
No. caught sight of the pursuing en-
gine, heard the short, jerky screams OF
ing red flag.
No. was brought to a 5tandstill, and
hundred or more human beings were
saved from a horrible death.
But that was Tom Kings last run. AS
the boys gathered round him in the old
engine cab he just managed to gasp
YeIlop-Dog- and sank ex-
hausted from the loss of blood.
Very tenderly they carried him to the
baggage-car and laid him on soft robes,
but the brave fellow only lived few
moments. He was badly riddled with
pistol bullets.
They took him back that night to
Trackviile, and as Robert Leslie looked
upon the face Of his old friend, he
wildly recalled Tom Kings own words,

Ingersol on Coakling.
New York Herald.

To Herald reporter recently, Col
IngersoH summed up the life and infu-
ence of the dead statesman calmly and in
q serious mood.
what Is Mr.. Conkiing's place in the
political histoty Of the United States ?''
asked the reporter.
Upon the great questions, Mr.. Conk-
ling has been right. During the war he
was always strong and clear, unwavering
and decided. HIS position was ALWAYS
known. He was right on reconstruction.
on civil rights, on the currency, and, so
far as know, on all important questions.
He will be remembered as an honest.
fearless man. He was admired for his
known integrity. He was never even
suspected of being swayed by an improp-
or consideration. He was UNNECESSARILY
above purchase.
'His popularity rested upon his abso-
Lutte integrity. He was not calculated
for leader, because he would yield moth
ing. He had no compromise in his nat
ure. He went his own road and he would
not turn aside for the sake of company.
His Individuality was too marked and his
will too imperious to become a leader in
republic. There is great deal of in
dlviduallty in this country, and a leader
must not appear TO govern and must not
demand obedience. In the Senate he
was leader"
"What essentially American idea does
he stand foe?"
''It is favorita saying in this country
the people are soyereigns. Mr.. Conkling
felt this to be true, and he exercised what
he believed to be his rights. He insisted
on the utmCst freedom for himself. He
settled with no one but himself He
stands for indiyiduality-for the freedom
of the citizen, the independence of the
man. No lord, no duke, no king was ever
prowder of his title or his place than Mr.
Conkling was of his position and his pow
er. He was thoroughly American in every
drop CT his blood"
What have you to say about bis hav-
ing died with sealed ips?"
"Mr. Conkling was too proud to show
wounds. He did not tell his sorrows to
the public. It seemed sufficient for him
to know the facts himself. He seemed
to have great confidence in time, and he
had the patience TO wait. Of course he
could have told many things that would
have shed light on many important
events, but for my part / think he acted
in the noblest way.
Gle was a striking and original figure
in our politics. He stood alone. I know
OF no one like him. He will be remem-
bered as a fearless and incompatible
statesman, great lawyer, a magnificent
speaker and an honest man"
