The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1890-12-24

MANY Of the leading Republican
papers of the State have commended
the proposition for uniform day in
all the counties for the election of del.
egates to the State Convention. The
discussion shows clearly enough that
popular sentiment is in favor of the
reform, and it can be brought about
by the action of the next Republican
State Convention if all who believe 10
its desirsbility activity exert them.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS has
won the foremost place among Pennsyl-
vania newspapers by the liberality, enter
prise, and fairness with which it conducts
its business, reports great events, and the
completeness with which it records, day
by day, the life OF the city, State and
country. Its field is worldwide, and its
staff, its special correspondents, 30 many
and well organized, its source of news so
numerous, that il appeals to wider con-
stituency than any other newspaper ever
published in Pennsylvania.
1.-The Press" said one of the managers
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, now receives more telegraphic
news than all the other Philadelphia news
papers combined" This statement is au-
thoritative and conclusive, and The Press
presents as daily witnesses to its truth, its
twelve to twentv-tour bright and interest
ing pages. But it is not only by its news
enterprise-by the zeal, energy, and integ-
rlty OF its reporters and correspondents
that The Press has won and held the con-
hdence OF its many thousands of readers,
representing every age and every condi-
ton of life, every trade and every profess
sion, every faith and every political opin.
ion. 1t is the excellence and varied inter-
est of The Press as general family Jour

men, which have made for it so many
friends at home, and extended its Teputa~

its hrst business, but its columns are also
enriched by contributions from the most
gifted special writers, the most famous
novelists, and some of the most eminent
public men OF the time. The literary on
gagements already made for 1891, probably
surpass IN number and variety, and nearly
equal in cost, any contemporary magazine,

KISSES IN A TUNNEL.
How Glycerine Melone. Charming Bride
Receives Rude Shock.
rChicago TIibune.l

Without moments notice the train
plunged into tunnel.
There is something frightful in this
sudden change from the garish light Of
day to the profound gloom of Cimmerian
darkness.
One moment we see flashing past us a
widespresding landscape on either hand.
All is gayety, animation, Astounding life.
The next monent everything is blotted
from sight
The noises OF the train that came to
the ear with a gentle, diffused murmur
are now focused into deafening, terri
bic roar that assails the senses like the
maddened rush of John J.. Sullivan into
the field of dramatic art.
The timid traveller, with wide-open
ewes straining to pierce the horrible
gloom. braces himself to meet the shock
whose coming he feels with that vague
sense of alarm that is worse than the alb
solute foreknowledge of the impending
danger.
The train plunged on into the dark
ness.
At high noon Of that day Eulet Me-
lone had welded Glycerine McCurdy,
and the blssful pair had started on their
wedding journey.
In one OF the crowded cars OF that
train sat Eulet Melone and his lovely
bride.
In the spectacle of young welded love
on its first journey there is something
inexpressibly weird and touching.
The manly. protecting devotion OF the
voupg and tender husband, the seraphic
glow on the cheek of the gushing. artless
bride-these with the knowledge that peo-
pIe are rushing blindly into this kind OF
thing every day in the year-moved the
observer to reverie.
"Were you alarmed, dearest ?" in
ouired Mr.. Melone, after the train had
emerged into daylight again.
"N-not much, Eulet," answered the
blushing bride.
1f had not been afraid this tunnel
was short one, Glycerine.' he whis-
pered. 81 should have taken advantage
Of the darkness and kissed you, my
love-"
"Didn't you kiss me, dear?" e1-
claimed the wondering bride. "Some.

An hour or two later Vene entered
his own room.
IL was large apartment situated at
the back Of the walled incloSure, which,
on account of its size, had come TO DO
used by the officers as common room.
its windows opened on wide yeranda,
which extended the whole length Of the
building, having the windows also open
ing upon it, The largest of these rooms
had been set apart for tho use Of the la
dies of the garrison, and, as tho veranda
was cool. shady, and retired, they were
often accustomed 10 sit there in pre-
ference to breathing tho close heat OF
the room within.
AT the moment when Vane entered
two figures were sitting on the veranda
not far from bis own window-two girls.
One of these was q tall, slight girl, pale
and light haired-not handsome, nor
even remarkable. except for her eyes,
which were large. gray, serious, and
when at rest deep rather than bright.
Her companion. on the other hand, was
girl OF singular beauty-a girl with
dark hair, dark eyes, rather full red lips,
and skin Of soft and fower-like bloom.
The name Of the pale girl was Mary Sui
land; that Of the beautiful one was
Lenora DuDdas. The latter was the
Colonels daughter. Mary Sulland was his
ward. Before the mutiny they had lived,
together with an old English servant,
Mrs Jessop in the ColonePs bungalow
outside the fortified enclosure.
The characters Of these two girls we
will leave to reveal themselves as wa
proceed, only recording tho relations in
which they stood to St George Vane,
who had known them both since they
sere children.

Five minutes passed-ten minutes.
Then the sound OF steps was heard, and
men entered the archway in body.
Vane was not among them but imme-
diately efterward he appeared, together
with another oilicer-the surgeon.
By this time the sun had sunk, and
but for the rising moon it would have
been quite dark. AS it was, tho interior
of the archway was in gloom but the
open square outside was bathed in Light
light uncertain, shadowy, spectral, yet
permitting any object moving in 1t to be
distinctly seen. The woodwork which
had supported the windlass OF the well
had been shattered by the shot and now
stood in ruins but the chain renamed
intact. its end twisted round a broken
stump, and the bucket hung in safety
inside the opening OF the well.
No time was lost. Vane spoke word
or two, by way of last directions to the
men then taking n bucket in his hand.
SO that if by any chance he escaped the
shot. he might do his share in bringing
in the water, he turned toward the
square. That his chance was very slight
he knew. And as he turned to go forth
into the range OF the cannon, his face,
though resolute, was grave.
He had already taken step or two in
advance, when he suddenly stopped
short. What was that? A soft, gray,
ehostly figure started ont OF the wall IN
front Of him, and fitted forth into the
omen air. Before he had recovered from
his amazement, it had already reached
the well. For the space of an instant 1t
stood there. motionless then, rs If de-
string I. .her TO attract attention than to
shun it, it raised both arms above Its
head and waved them in the moonlight.
In moment-just as Yane, recovering a
little. started out of the archway-the
cannon Numbered storm OF shot whls-
tied in the air, ploughed up the ground,
and ratified among the ruined wood work

no shot struck him. But the phantom
fiCure-what of it? He looked and
thrilled. What dark thing was that,
which now lay motionless beside the
mouth of the we'll? He had not seen
the figure fall, but it was down upon the
ground
