while we had rolled back orio the
track, and were foundering about
over the ties.
Suddenly low rumbling noise
reached my ears. At first was at a
loss to account for it, but as sudden
shift OF position gave me chance to
glance up, was Mortified to see a
great globe OF yellow light advancing
through the darkness. Even as j
looked the sound increased, and the
rails began to shake.
A train was coming through the
tunnell We were in the very center oil
the track
The awful sensations OF that mo-
ment are with me as write. For a
few seconds was weak from fear,
then fresh strength seemed to leap
into my veins and made a desperate
attempt to tear loose from my an
tagonist. But he clung to me with a
grip like iron. We had been lying
side by side, and now he rolled me
clear over, and his heavy bulk held
me there in the very middle of the
track unable to move an inch.
1.-THE train! The train" / shrieked,
don't you see it coming? We shall
be cut to pieces"
The man laughed hoarsely-I
believe he was out OF his senses with
passion-and shouted something in
my ear. The train was too close for
me to catch the words, and the glare
from the headlight was flooding the
track and the Shiny walls and roof of
the tunnel. In an instant more the
iron wheels would grind us to atoms.
The thought was horrible, and /
shrieked at the top OF my voice again
and again. Then, as though in a
dream, saw red light flashing by
the side OF the track, and just as the
headlight of the advancing locomo-
tive seemed to be scorching my face q
heavy weight was lifted from me and
] felt myself forcibly jerked of the
track. After that knew nothing.
When / came back to consciousness
l was out into the open air lying on q
grass patch by the side OF the track.
Jack and Tom were bending over me,
and the switchman was pressing q
wet handkerchief to my face. My late
enemy was nowhere to be seen.
l owed my life to the switchman.
He had seen us enter the tunnel to-
gether and had followed us up, reach
ing the spot barely in time to drag
us from under the very wheels of
the train. The other man, he de-
clared. broke away and fled farther
back into the tunnel. The switchman
did not pursue him, but sought the
open air at once, carrying me in his
arms, and was met outside the tun-
mel by my companions, who had been
attracted by my pistol shots. soon
recovered from the faint, and, accom-
panied by the switchman and his lam
tern, we went back to make an inspec-
ton. The gun was found leaning
against the wall, but the thief had no
doubt, gone on through the tunnel, and
we concluded that it would be useless
to pursue him.-Philadelphia Times.

A veteran sportsman. with rod and
gun, who resides near Stewartstown,
County Tyrone, has had novel ex-
perience while fishing on the Tullywig-

opposite bank over a series OF stepping
stones laid in the bed of the river. He
slipped of bowlder into the stream.
The river was low, but he fell fiat into
the water and w2s thoroughly drench-
ed. As the day 0ls bitterly cold he
had on an overcoat, and when he
scrambled out on the bank he found
something Tapping about in the inner
breast pocket. A search revealed n
splendid three-pound trout. 1t was
the onIyfsh he caught that day.-Dcr-
