The angry flush on Harrington's face

THE NABoB's DOUBLE.


-
HAS Man a spirit that more than breath,
A spirit that walks in sleep or in death;
Shakes off at will Its dust of the earth,
And, waking by night, goes wandering
forth
To work its wish with a noiseless tread,
While the body lies bound full-length in
bed?
This is the fact, as sure as fate,
For Burglar Bill and his midnight mate,
That frightened until it converted him
To join the Salvation Army with Jim.
MANY a crib had the couple cracked
Large was their luck with the swag they
sacked,
Many a time thought Burglar Bill.
old Nabob's looks very lone on the hill !
But, there was the Dog whose internal
bark
Could be heard through mile of solid
dark.
Zone day it was rumored that Keeper
was dead,
To himself Bill knowingly nodded his
head,
Tonight or never he simply said.
THAT night up hill the couple crept,
To rifle his store as the rich man slept.
All heavens mirrored with stars agleam,
The dazzle of diamonds in their dream
They entered the treasury-struck a light
4 tiny light-but 1t showed a sight
10 make the burglars heart turn white,
The. Nabob sitting alone in his chair,
Facing them with his long white hair,
And eyes wide open with corpse-like stare.
AND close by his side, keeping watch and
ward,
The statue as 'twere Of dog on guard,
With mouth agape, but never bark
The dog that was dead and stiff and stark
Threatened them as If in life!
Jim rushed at the old man with his knife,
And drove it right through-an empty
Instead of the figure sitting there.
For the Nabob vanished, dog and all.
And the burglars vanished without their
haul.
Meanwhile, at the moment he felt the
stroke,
Up stairs in bed the Nabob woke.
oh wife, are you here! Am dead? is it
night
Oh wife have suffered an awful fright !!

When suddenly, heiplessly, | was aware
In the dead of the night there was life in
the gloom;
Then light-and two masked men in the
room.
One of them dealt me a murderous blow,
And woke from my dream in the room
below.
But tins, oh wife. was the strangcst thing
Keeper" was with me; saw him spring
SwifLas the flash Of the fItlng knife
lie flew at the thief as he would in life =
"Only a dream, but they went down stair
And there were the burglars tools, and
there
The knife was stuck in its stab of the
chair"

Come home to me darling, come home to

And a hard and uncomfortable way.

The basement is musty, the flowers are all
dead.
And the mice they are having full sway,
And I'm tired, dear, Of painting this big
town all red
As thought to while you were away!
There are stains on the table and dirt on
the floor

Things all seem askcw and are waiting for

The Great Engine That Does Marvellous
Work on the New York Central.
New York Herald.
With each successive year it seems as
though the limit had been reached in
the construction of locomotive giants,
and yet each year brings for some bigger
monster, capable of still higher rate
Of speed.
Engine No. 903 of the New York
Central road, which hauls the Empire
State express, is simply wonder. So
big is it that the engin of two decades
ago looks almost like toy alongside of
it.
Talk about rapid transit Why, this
big fellow can and does no, if necessary,
at the rate of rs miles an hour! There
is American rapidity for youl No. 9u2
can "get there" with alacrity.
Some details of the dimensions Of this
huge machine will be interesting, es-
pecially to those travellers who have
occasion to cross the state of New York
in hurry. For that matter we are all
travellers nowadays and railroad experts.
The engine is built on the style Of the
American eight wheel passenger engine,
with cylinders 10 by "a inches and driv-
ing wheels with diameters of tritle
over seven feet. The boiler has ,s12. 5
square feet of heating surface and carries
steam pressure Of 1870 pounds to the
square inch.
The total weight Of the engine and
tender when loaded is 20l, 600 pounds.
This enormous weight is distributed as
follows:-On the driving wheels, 81 600
pounds; on the trucks, 10000 pounds,
| and the remaining $4,000 pounds in the
weight Of tho tender. This tcnderis, of
course, fitted with a water scoop. The
Empire State express has no time to
fool around water tanks. The water
capacity is 1857 gallons, The tender
can also carry nearly seven tons of coal.
In hauling the train the schedule calls
foran average speed Of 52 miles an hour.
The train usually consists of four cars,
which, together with the engine and
tender, weighs nearly half a million
pounds. II takes lots of power to pull
half Il million pounds along at the rate
of 81 miles an hour. On one occasion
the indicator cards taken from test
running showed development of /, 100
horse power. The engine was then
making rs miles an hour. For 20 miles
that rate was kept up.

toned like IL basket Within the basket
are twelve tiny silver spoons, the shape
and finish Of which cannot be distin-
gushed with the naked eye, Dr. Peter
Oliver, who lived in England during

tells of seeing u carved cherry stone
which would be wonder oven in this
age Of fine tools and fine workmanship.
The stone was one from common
cherry, and upon it were carved the
heads Of l2i popcs, kings, queens, en-
perors, saints, Ne. Small as they must
necessarily have been, it is announced
on the authority of Professor Oliver that
with good glass the headsof the popes
and the kings could readily be distn-
guished from those Of the queens and
saints by their miters and crowns. The
