The telegraph operator at the tun-

thrilling experience the other night.
1t is a lonely place. There is not a
dwelling for over two miles. the near

awful railroad disaster occurred two
years ago. On either side OF the
railroad the mountains stretch away
for miles, covered by dense forests.
The operator in the little cabin built
for him hardly ever sees human face
except on the passing trains.
For a long time no one could be in
duced to stay there long. but six

until lately. He hos often seen many
bears and wildcats around, and Of late
they havo grown bold. On recent

was woven into the very bottom Of the

we reset 1T in another place.
