A Dude Ofers q Brave Beseuer e'-A-
rette for Saving Bis Life.
Slaml Bangl
These we're the noises heard the
other day as stood alone on the plat
form OF the Union depot, watching one
of the Central Hudson flyers come IN.
The sounds attracted my attention
tbe more because dude with his col
lar half torn off and big grip IN his
hand landed almost beside me, and
then went whirling along the platform,
while his cane went rolling in the op-
posite direction.
At first | thought the poor chappie
had been struck by the train. but the
attitude of stalwart yardmaster Just
this side Of the laundering locomotive
explained the situation. The dude had
been thrown bodily off the track.
For a moment the human missile
seemed bewildered. Then he merely
exclaimed "Aw" and gathered himself
up and sought his grip and stick.
He approached the railroad einploy'
with a countenance filed with mingled
wonder and gratitude.
Jaw, wailwoad man" he drawled
''you all a wOndah.
yep" replied his rescuer.
Jaw, ef it hawdn't been foh yaw IL
been a mangled corpse"
Yep"
''Yaw, aw, pwecipitated me from tn
pawth of a wushing locomotive, ant
I'm, aw, gweatly obliged to yaw."
Yep"
''Yaw handled me wather wuff, bu
then the impulse of the mawnent,
suppows, made you do it"
yep"
"Have a cigawette5"
Nope"
The dude realranged his apparel an
disappeared in the parlor car
Had it not been for the courage an
GOODNESS of the yardmaster the dud
would have been a subject for a core
ner's inquest.
He was standing directly between tn
rails looking at the locomotive, as II II
we're trying to make out what it reall
was.
The yardmaster had thrown hil
completely from the track just in tim'
for the locomotive almost grazed thel
both as it whizzed by.
Such an occurrence happens ever
day in the week. People will persist
staying about the yard and gettir
mixed up just at the wrong time.
Sometimes it is an innocent lookir
countryman, sometimes a woman wi
is bound to do just as she wishes
spite of all the railroads on earth, an
sometimes it is the very clever man wi

A Society Novel.
n the North American Review.

From the North American Review.
But who, then, in America is TO write tho
novel of society? The men who in this country
write for subsistence-and they seem TO be
the only men who can write well-have no
time, even if they wished. to study it, As for
the men who see most of it, we have not the
slightest desire to undervalue them. They
are able, apparently, to accomplish many
things, from hunting elephants 10 administer
ing railways. But somehow they do not write
novels. 1t may be that they scarcely appre-
ciate their opportunities. Whatever may be the
cause of this unexpected phenomenon, the in
ference is that, if the women OF American So
ciety are to be worthily portrayed at all they
will have to do it themselves. There is only adj
vantage to be looked for on the part OF art
and of morality if they shall essay the
task. We snail have novels more in
cisive and heart-searching than they
have in England, and at the same time
more healthful and more beautiful, when
to the self-watchfulness Of feminine training
and woman's instructive horror Of grossness
and deformity shall be joined talent adequate
to the technically skillful and vigorous fulfill
ment of the aim. Then we shall have a realism,
indeed-not otherwise could one elicit the
philosophy latent in example. But it will be
the realism Of the changeful face of earth,
bathed with a wistful, soft and fearful atmos-
phere, over which the stars are shining.

The Costly Orchid Fad.

From LongTnAn's MaVazine.
Orchids are spreading all over the world in
these days. and we may expect to hear of other
instances where species has taken root in
alien chimes like r. coccinea in Brazil can
not cite parallel at present, but Mr.. Sander
informs me that there is a growing demand for
these plants in realms that have their own
native orchids. Among customers who write
to him directly are magnates of China and
Siam. an Indian and Japanese rajah. Orders
are receiyed-not unimportant or Infrequent-
from merchants at Calcutta, Singapore, Hong
Kong, Rio de Janeiro and smaller places, OF
course. 1t is vastly droll to hear that some OF
these gentlemen import species at q great ex-
pense which an intelligent coolie could gather
for them in any quantity within few furlongs
Of their godown. But for the most part they
demand foreigners.

must get to Pittsburg.'"
"A murmur of admiration went through the
crowd and my better nature asserted itself and
/ made a dash for the engine. Then had to
take it from my own flesh and blood and the
blood-curdling threats that were hurled at me
made my heart beat pretty lively. but had
taken the step and knew it would be cowardly
to back out.
THEY UNCoUPLE THE CARS.
Finding they couldn't persuade me to come
down off the engine they adopted other tactics.
Whenever l would start my engine ahead one
Of the strikers would Jump out from between
the cars with coupling pin in his hand and
seoot down the track to place OF safety with a
dozen soldiers in pursuit and I'd discover that
only half the train was behind me. This trick
was repeated until the commander of the mill
TIA lost his temper entirely. In the last car Of
the train was a company Of regulars, who en-
Joyed the fun immensely. The commander
went to the captain of the regulars, explained
tine situation and demanded his assistance.
Then matters took definite shape. The strik-
ers knew the regulars meant business when
they came out of their car on a run, and as the
captain called out, shoot the next man that
uncouples the train, they all fell back in dis
may
For the last time the train was coupled to-

gered two drunken strikers from behind q car
standing on a side track. Clasping hands those
two reckless fools deliberately stretched them
selves out on the track in front Of my engine,

ously; the crowd Of Unlocking strikers cheered.
and I'll be cOnfounded if didn't have to stop
my train again, but not until had almost run
on top OF the two outstretched strikers. There
they lay, as unconcerned as If they were re-
Ginning upon a comfortable lounge. But their
bravado went for naught, for the regulars
yanked them up off the track, pitched them
into the baggage car and the next morning
found them in Pittsburg.
A SOUVENIR OF THE OCCASION.

going back on the boys that time, bat 1 couldn't
help it, and that is the reason I'm down in this
section of the country. Superintendent Riley
couldn't thank me enough for sticking to him.
and this handsome 1S-carat ticker came from
him as a souvenir of the occasion. As for the
two drunken men that lay down in front of my
engine, some people might call that bravery,
but call 1t foolhardiness.'
As the narrator finished his story most of the
"Hunkey Doreys" made preparation to leave
the room, as they informed the reporter thai
they went out on their runs at about midnight,
for Baltimore, Philadelphia. Pittsburg, Wheel
ing and Richmond. The reporter was invited
TO call In again at any time and that the invita-
ton will be accepted is foregone conclusion.

He said he had good cook and wanted me to

Not so in the United States. There when
