II am stronger nor you," laughed
the girl, and pulled it open with ease.
"rll drop down first, he's used ter
me-" she said, giving her lover ten
der smile.
At that moment loud, clear, shrill
whistle rang out, and was answered so
near that it seemed an echo of the
same. Lou turned and said to her
lover, "drap the dure for yer life and
kim down." but he was not there, had
not followed her. but dozen men were
swarming in behind her.
"Feytherm she called in a terrified
voice air it the reYenoos?"

"Air you one of 'em critters?' asked
Lou.

THAT will do. ask nothing better,

Lou looked sharply at her guest, and
the thought, Il have seen him before"
| came into her mind At the same mo-
ment the young man, as if divining the
thought, took off his hat, and looked
full at her. He was slight and not so
tall as she, with masses of reddish
brown hair, and flowing brown whis-
kers. He had curious habit of vail
ing his eyes with their lids. giving
them an undescribably soft imploring
look, that was very effective. Lou
found her eyes dropping abashed be-
fore this strangers gaze.
Nav. l never seen him afore this
minnit," she said to herself. Lou pre-,
pared supper and set it before her
guest Then she took down horn
and standing in tho doorway blew a
loud shrill blast that ended with a
curious quaver, almost like a warm
ing.

lounged into the cabin and planted his
rifle into corner.

Never, as l knowed of. Seems

She pointed down toward the hearth.
The old man sat down in his shirt
sleeves and ate pone-bread and molasses
with relish, talking meanwhile in a
quaint. hospitable way with his guest,
who made such good impression on
him, that he suddenly burst out:
Dang it, its meaner nor mules

suthin' handy to wet it. Stranger, air
ye inclined tew licker?"
Nate Hudson smiled good humored-
ly.
I'm agreeable" he said, airily.
"Then here We air, stranger"
The old man squatted at the
hearth and drew forth the aforesaid
jug. He turned out a cupful for the
guest, and one for himself. Then he re-
placed the jug.

A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS.
The Danmark on Fire Twice Before
the shaft Broke.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 2i.-Charics
IOiup, who, with his wife, were passengers
on the Inflated Danmark, gave his account
of how the accident happened. Eve had
been out but q few days, he said. when a
fire was discovered IN the coal bunkcrs,
which was promptly extinguisled, and
couple of days later II was found That there
was another fire In the same place. 1
thought that they were OF incendiary origin,
but although tried to find ont, was UNI
able TO do so. There were numerous stop
pages caused by the breaking of the ma
chinery, which were almost daily occur
renee, and the delays lasted from one TO
eight hours.
son the fourth Of April, after having
been out fifteen days, the propeller shaft
broke ut about $3.50 In the afternoon aud
the water began to work its way into the
vessel. BY 10 O'Clock in the evening IL had
risen TO height OF nearly two feet in the
fire room, making II almost impossible for
the lremen 10 attend to their duty, and for
n while II looked MS II the fires would be put
out. IL was nearly IL o'clock when the
chief engineer was instantly killed by being
hit on the head with part Of the machin-
cry. ] at once notified some Of the officers
and helped them to carry the dead engineer
to his statcroom.
"From the time the Danmark broke her
shaft until the next morning none OF the
passengers knew Of the danger the ship was
In, as the pumps were kept working 10 as
to make II appear that she was running
along and doing her regular WORK. This
Illusion was dispelled In the morning and n
little excitement prevailed but was quoted
by the officers and sailors telling the pas
sengers that the vessel was right In the
path Of the ocean steamers and II would
probably not be long before one Of them
would be seen. About 12 O'Clock on April
3 the Missouri was sighted. We displayed
our signal OF distress, to which they
answered, aud when near enough n small
boat was put OF from the Missouri and

now in Washington, with the exception OF
Mr.. Cannon Of Illinois, says the Baltimore
american. He was at the White House and

there will undoubtedly be an extra session
called about the middle Of October Major
Mckinley Of Ohio, another very prominent
Speakership candidate, said on Saturday to
the american correspondent that an extra
session would be called In October, The
same opinions were expressed by Messrs.
Cannon and Burrows Of Michigan, the other
well-known Speakership candidates, within
the past two weeks. These men have all
talked to the President on the subject OF
an extra session, and their opinions are
based upon the knowledge they CLEANED
from the Chief Executive. Nine-tenths OF
the Republicans in both Houses OF Congress
are of the same opinion.
