Elinor to recognize and appreciate qualities in Hugh whose existence she had not suspected nor been interested enough to try to discover.
 At first the suspension in midair was rather amusing, but after quarter of nn hour had passed and they were yet suspended she began to lose courage.
 ''Oh, MT Rayburn! do you think there's any danger7 Will we ever get out of this terrible place?" and she inn pulsivcly clutched his arm. They were both standing, and before replying he gently unclasped her fingers, and, hold ing the trembling hand, said, quietly, "It will be all right It is only momentary delay. You would better sit down here"
 He seated Ter and taking q place be- side. her continued holding her hand, which clung tightly to his, and of which in her terror she was entirely unconscious. He had never clasped a girls hand so before, and yet he felt not the slightest embarrassment in the situation. Indeed he would have en- joyed 1t had it not been for her distress. He talked to her soothingly, and she tried to be brave, while the boy pulled the cables franticany, and shouts reached them from above and below. Finally she burst into tears, and with out thought of impropriety, or any thing of like nature, buried her face on the shoulder of the now silent Hugh,

where she sobbed until her over wrought nerves were relieved and her fears soothed by his gentle words of encouragement. Then recalling pro prieties she sat up and wiped her eyes.
 Mir. Rayburn, fate seems to have selected us for companions in mis- fortune
 He laughed and said: ''Yes; and this Is not our first encounter with her.
 Our fir't. What do you mean?"
 For ansvtr he drew from his pocket a long lusiaess-ihe pocketbook and opening it took from one compartment a little white scrap. This he gravely un- folded and spread on his knees as he sait,:
 '"g.'hat is her sign manual"
 Elinor, reading the name he pointed to, exclaimed:
 My handkerchief Where did you get it?''
 ''I got it. and a blow on the nose, that nearly stove it through my head at the same time" She looked amazed and said: Was 1t you? And I've never recognized you all this timer
 He looked at her snilingly, and re- placing his treasure, said:
 Yes, l agree with you. I think fate has selected us for companions, but not only in misfortune, hope"
 She blushed and glanced at the boy, whose back was to them, who, with head thrown back and mouth open wide, was vainly gazing upward If he expected to see anything, waiting for help and orders. What time and place to say such q thing" and she moved to the further end of the seat, which action Hugl, im- ! mediately initiated.
 Say you agree with me, darling" he urged softly in that tone, the sole prop. erty of men, and the despair of women to initiate She must use either a sib- liant whisper or tone perfectly audi ble to anyone within ten feet of her. Taking her hand again he urged an answer by gentle pressure of that member, and an appealing look from his handsome eyes,
 Well, yes," she began hesitatingly. and as this was the signal for which fate had waited, the elevator started down with 8 jerk, which would have thrown her to the floor had it not been for pair of willing and very ready aFnns. STDNRY KNOX

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Dastardly Attempt to Wreck a
 Passenger Train.
ToRPEDoEs ON THE TRACK
Great Loss of Life Averted by Train
 Being Late.

A Pusher Engine Wrecked Completely by the Explosion-.Lehigh Valley Rail. road Officials Hunting for the Wreckers. Excitement Very High and the Crimi' nals May Get Quick Justice if Caught.
 PH1LLIPsBURa, N. J., Sep. n.-Excite ment ru ns high here over the dastardly attempt to wreck . passenger train last Wednesday night op the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Train No. 9 was 45 minutes late and therein lay the salvation of the passengers.
 The train being late, the station mas ter at Kennedy, five miles from here, al lowed pusher engine to go ahead of the delayed train.
 The engine was going along at a re- duced rate of speed when suddenly there was loud explosion, which tore away portions of the engine and wrecked it completely.
 The engineer and fireman had a most miraculous escape. They were not even hurt.
 An investigation into the cause of the explosion has developed the fact that a dynamite cartridge had been placed on the tracks. Two more cartridges were found ahead of the exploded one.
 By 8 mere accident 8 great loss of life was averted.
 If train No. 9 had been twenty minutes late, instead of forty minutes, the push or engine would not have been allowed to go out, and the passenger train, with it's crowded coaches, going at full speed, would surely have exploded all three cartridges.
 The officials claim to have a clue as to the perpetrator of the deed
 Easton detectives have arrested a man, giving his name as Louis D. Barrand and residence New York The detectives be- heve that he is Oscar Kennel, the notor- ious "Man from Peru," who has long record of crimes of the train wrecking order,

DRESSES FOR WIDOWS.
Henrietta Cloth the Proper Thing for ]
 SeaSonN of thn Year.

Henrietta Cloth the Proper Thing for All
 Seasons of the Year.
 A widows first dress, suita ble for any season, is of Henrietta cloth, made with a coat-bodice and straight skirt. This skirt may be in the English shape, with slight plaits on each side to give folds across the front, or else 1t is in bell shape, with gourd front breadth, and a bias seam in the back. The bodice has coat skirts added of English crape, and the draped vest, revers, collars and cuffs are also of crape. Grape sleeves are sometimes worn, but are very perishable. A bias fold of crape twelve inches wide trims the skirt. Another dress of Henrietta cloth, designed for young widow, has a pointed bodice fluted-not plaited-into band of crape. The high collar of crape flares slightly. The full sleeves are gathered into cuffs of crape that reach almost to the elbow. A wide band of crape vandyked at the top trims the bell skirt
 Widows wear white organdie about the neck and wrists in round turned over collar and cuffs widely hemmed. A ruche of white lisse, or puff crimped on a rod, is sometimes preferred. The wrap is a short cape of Henrietta cloth cut with jacket fronts; the back is belt ed in and the fronts are trimmed with two jubots of English crape A broad band of crape surrounds the garment, and there is crape collar. The small, close bonnet IS made of crape folds flat on the frame, with an inside puff of crimped White lsse, which represents a widows cap. Black gros-grain ribbon two inches wide is used for strings. The veil, of English crape, reaches to the knee in front and below the waist in the back It is pinned on closely with dull jet pins. Although the tendency is to shorten the time of wearing mourning, g widows mourning is still worn two years; the cap or ruche in the bonnet is worn for a year and 8 day, and crape for year and nine months, frightened from three months to three months as the period progresses -Harper's Bazar We've heard of woman who saiC she'd walk five miles to get bottle ol Dr PIerce's Favorite Prescription if she | couldn't get it without.

Bob Iincoln,s First Fee.

Robert T. Lincoln likes to tell tho story of his first fec as an attorney. Old Judge Logan, under whom he read law, had always told him not to be afraid to charge big fees for his servic- es. People don't respect a cheap lawyer" said the judge.
 One day soon after Mir. Lincoln had been admitted to practice he sat alone in his office when messenger brought note from the Chicago agent of one of the wealthiest insurance companies in America, asking to have the title to a certain piece of property looked up. The young lawyer spent about half an hour looking into the title and then sent his report to the insurance office. Pretty soon the messenger camc with another note. This one requested Mir. Lincoln to send his bill by the bearer. The young lawyer had no idea what to charge. At first he thought it would be good policy not to charge anything. .sfor," said he 10 himself, II should like to get that compauy's work regu- larly." But he knew Judge Logan would not approve that sort of thing, and he didn't want the judge to think he was needless of his advice. So he figured that, since he had worked only half an hour, t10 would be good. stiff, price. for it would be at the rate of $200 for day of ten hours. The words of Judge Logan, however rang in his ears, and with stroke of audacity that almost frightened him Mir. Lincoln finally made bill for $25- He felt that this was an outrageously high fee, and was hesitating as to whether he would give it to the boy or make out another for e10. when Judge Logan c.e"ced to come in.
 You arc just the man want to see." said Mir Lincoln. and ie told him of his dilemma.
 ''I knew it was outrageously high. !" said Mir. Lincoln, but judge, you always told me to make big bills, and 1 did this more to please you than my self"
 Nonsense" said the jugdo; ''give me pen.h He sat down. wrote an- other bill, and gave it to the boy.
 In few minutes the boy returned with the insurance agents check for $250, and little note to Mir Lincoln thanking him for his promptness. and saying the company's other work of this character would be sent to him.
 ..Great Scottr' said the young law yer to the old one, "did you make out a bill for &250p"
 .sOf course I did," answered the old Judge. You don't want to q be a damned eleemosynary institution for insurance companies, do you?'-Wash- ington Post.
