Two-Storied Cars.

A novel style of observatory has been
devised by an ingenious Manitoban
who is of the opinion that the scenery
of this country is such that passengers
on a railroad ought to have better facil-
tiles for seeing it. Three or four Sec
tions of a car roof are raised to height
of twelve to eighteen inches above the
ordinary level, forming sort of ICON
ming tower" the sides of which are
glazed. Second-story seats are pro
vided in these sections where passen gers
can sit and enjoy the scenery in any di-
rection. If perfectly heated and ven
tilated such car would be most desir-
able, but it is question whether the
added weight in the upper part of the
car would affect its safety and whether
the considerable motion in swinging
round curves or running over rough
tracks would not affect many travellers
very unpleasantly.

Held His Ground.

According to a local paper, Lancaster,
Pa, had visitor who believes in stand
ing up for his rights as pedestrian.
He was commercial drummer, and
was making for a railroad station,
when he encountered hack standing
on the street crossing. He refused to
walk around the vehicle, and called to
some passers-by to send him police
man that the way might be cleared.
No bluecoat appeared, SO he checked
his grip at the station and returned to
the crossing, declaring that he would
knger there until the carriage was
moved. He did so, too, though it took
him all hour and half in all, and he
missed his train.

The Story of a Wreck.
Thrilling and Romantic Account Of
q Mutiny at Sea-
BY W. CLARK RUSSELL.

"Do you think 1 could rest with the
knowledge you were alone on deckp'
You refuse because you believe /
am not to be trusted" she said, gent
ly, looking down again.
"If your life were not dependent on
the ships safety, l should not think of
her safety, but of yours, l refuse for
your own sake, not for mine-no,
will not say that. For both our sakes
1 refuse. have one dear hope-well,
l will call it a great ambition, which
need not be ashamed to own; it is,
that may be the means of placing you
on shore in England. This hope has
given me half the courage with which
l have fought on through danger after
danger since first brought you from
the wreck. If any thing should hap
pen to you now, feel that all the
courage and strength of heart which
have sustained me would go Is that
saying too muchP l do not wish to
exaggerate, 1 exclaimed, feeling the
blood in my cheeks, and lamenting,
without being able to control, the i'm
pulse that had forced this speech from
me, and scarcely knowing whether to
applaud or detest myself for my can
dor.
She looked up at me with her frank,
beautiful eyes, but on sudden averted
them from my face to the door of the
cabin where her dead father lay. A
look of indescribable anguish came over
her, and she drew a deep, long, Sob
bling breath.
Without another word, l took hel
hand and led her to the cabin, and
knew the reason why she did not turn
and speak TO me was that l might not
see she was weeping.
But it was a time for action, and
dare not let the deep love that had
came to me for her divert my thoughts
from my present extremity.
l summoned the steward, who
tumbled out of his cabin smartly
enough, and ordered him to bring his
mattress and lay it alongside the com.
panion-ladder, so as to be within hail.
This done, 1 gained the poop and
sent Cornish below.

CHAPTER XVI.


The wind still continued a brisk gale
and the sea very heavy. Yet overhead
it was a glorious night; and as the
glass had risen steadily, l was sur
prised to find the wild weather holding
on so long.
l busted my head with all kinds of
schemes to save the ship and believed
it would be no hard matter to do so if
the water did not come into her more
quickly than she was now making it.
Unfortunately, there were only two
parts of the ships hold which we could
get lnto-namely, right forward in the
fore-peak, and right aft down in the
lazarette. If she had strained butt,
or started any part of her pIanking or
outer skin, amidships or anywhere in
her bottom between these two points,
there would be no chance of getting at
the leak unless the cargo were slung
out of her
But the leak could not be considered
hopeless that did not run over foot
an hour into the ship and with the Ber-
mudas close at hand and the weather
promising 1 did not yet despair of
bringing the ship into harbor At
half past eleven Cornish came and
took the wheel and the boatswain and
l again sounded the we'll There was
just thirteen inches which showed that
| the water was coming in at the rate of
foot an hour, no more and no less.
We called the steward and pumped
until we had the water out again.
Though this proved that we could
keep the water down the prospect of
pumping every hour was very disheart-
ening. At best we should be able to
obtain but brief snatches of rest.
L had been on deck now for four
hours at one stretch; so, leaving Corn
ish at the wheel, l lay down on the
| stewards mattress in the cuddy, while
| he seated himself on the bench with his
head upon the cuddy table, and snored
in that posture.
But we were all aroused again with
in the hour by Cornish, who called to
US down the companion, and away we
foundered, with our eyes gummed up
with sleep, to the pumps, and YEARLY
worked them like miserable auto
| nations.
The dawn found me again at the
wheel, having been there half an hour.
I scanned the broken, desolate hori-
zon in the pale light creeping over it,
though not nearly so dangerous as it
had been, was terribly sloppy, short
and quick and tumbled very often over
the ships sides, making the decks, with
| the rattle that encountered them, look
| wretched.
1 had not had my clothes off mo
for some days and the sense of per-
sonal discomfort in no small degree
aggravated the profound feeling of
WEAKNESS which ached like rheumatism
in my body and absolutely stung in my
legs. The skin of my face was hard and
dry with long exposure to the terrible
wind and the saltwater it had blown
and dried upon it, and though my
