alarming, noises of the woods, nerves
overstrung. it is truly fearful AS there
is something overawing about the
ocean, SO there is about the great
woods but the awful sensation of
being lost on the one or in the other
can be known only by experience.
Charley Barnum was twice lost in the
Ohio forests before he was fifteen years
old. One of these incidents l will re-
late to you.
1t was away back in the days when
the settlers were so few that they had
not materially lessened the number of
wild animals or decreased the extent of
the forests, and miles interviewed be-
tween neighbors. In the winter the
cattle were fed chiefly on what was
termed .'browse:" that is. the tender
twigs of trees felled for that object
But in summer the cows roamed at will

woods, and at shutdown We're driven

lively from the pale lips.

sob that seemed to come from her in
most heart.

''You knew me when did meet you?"

Yes, you're changed and so am 1,
but those eyes could belong to no one

Then flowed on the stream of talk as
she sat beside him with one of his white
HANDS ciasped in both her wrinkled
brown ones. He told of confinement in
southern prisons; of long delays before
he could work his way home; of finding
her gone to the west; of search that
was unsuccessful and a heart-sickness
that resulted in start for home; of the
runaway while en- route. She told Of
troubles in her family: of being thrown
on the world alone: of mourning him as
lost; and her life on the plains.
1t had grown quite dark, but they
took no heed of time.
Suddenly footsteps were heard out

a VERY MEAN MAN.
Working Hard to save Himself at An

Working Hard to save Himself at An
others Expense.
They had been talking about mean
men when Il lawyer said:
Il think | knew the meanest man in
New Hampshire. at least. We were in
school then, and most of US were poor
enough, fighting hard to get an educa-
ton. On the floor of the house where
! lived had a room at one end of the
hall, and ut the other end was the room
of the meanest fellow in New Hamp-
shire. l did not drink and he did.
When l was absent from my room he
used to come down the hall. open my
door. and throw his empty whisky bot
ties out of my window, SO that would
get the credit of the thing. or the dis
credit, as it was sure to be in that town.
1--WE had to pay for everything in
that house which we broke. Once when
this fellow broke lamp chimney he
gathered up the pieces OF broken glass
carefully, carried them into my room,
and distributed them around the floor.
Then he got stone and left it in my
room to make it seem that some one
had thrown it through the open window
and broken my lamp chimney. OF
course he took my chimney and put it
Oh his lamp.
But the meanest thing which / ever
knew him to do was when he broke Il
window pane in his room. 1t was a lit
tie bit of thing, not worth more than
ten cents. and he could easily have set
the new one himself. He preferred to
play the same old stone game, however.
He actually gathered up every splinter
OF the shattered window pane, both
that in the room and that which had
fallen outside into the yard. He dis
tributed some of it on the ground IN
der rny window and the rest N my
room. Then he went to work and re-
moved the whole sash in his room and
the one IN mine, exchanging the two.
so that when came home l found that
| had 4 broken window pane in my
sash. while splinteresi glass was strewn
all over my floor. The stone which he
had placed in my room was so big that
l doubt il man could have thrown il
up to the window, for we were on the
fourth floor. l paid for the window
pane. as paid for the lamp chimney.
But think how hard that man worked
to have the satisfaction of knowing
that he was the meanest little sneak in
New Hampshire. ~. Y. Tribune.

By LocOmotiye-A Marrow Escape from

As the late freight train was coming
infrom St. Clairsyille, about II o'clock
last night, the engineer saw a man
walking on the track toward the engine,
on the grade this side Of Barton. The
moon was out and the engineer could
see the man half mile away. Expect
ing to see him leave the track, he paid
no attention to him until, the engine
was within fifty feet OF him.. A loud
blast on the whistle failed to attract the
mans attention. Just as the engine
was upon him the engineer saw his
heels fiy in the air. He rolled down the
bank and-the train went on.
Surprising he was badly hurt or killed
the engineer stopped the train and
went back with the fireman.. They
found no trace Of the man, and the en-
gineer following behind their own train
said he had seen the man standing
about fifty feet away from the track,
rubbing his body.

Joseph Bruckner is manager OF one
of the three female ball clubs which
have been working this section lately.
There are the Cincinnati Reds, which
played over the river last week, the
New York Club, which appeared on the
Island Friday, and the American Stars,
which were at Moundsyille Friday and
BenwOod Saturday. This is Bruckner's
club.
He and the club came here yesterday,
bringing with them the paraphernalia,
including the high canvas fence which

public.

dressed young woman, not by any
means bad looking, appeared at the
police headquarters. One Twas a tall
brunette and the other a shorter blond.
They gave their names as Rosie
Atwood and Anna st. Clair, the former

dence, r. /. They told Chief McNichol
that Manager BrucEner had withheld
from them their wages, TO the amount
OF S25 and so respectively, on trivial
charges, assessing fines on the slightest
pretext. When they protested he dis
charged them, in spite Of IA written con-
tract requiring him to give them two
weeks notice. These contracts the
girls showed !.
One Of the fines, the girls said. was
assessed because q man spoke to one OF
them, although she did not respond.

manager angry.

SAFE AT LAST.

The landing Of tho NOrmnnnia's passen-
gers on Fire Island yesterday removes one
of the most distressing features OF our
present quarantine experience. The dan
ger of those unfortunate people. length
ened and aggravated by unavoidable cir
cumstances and by the unforeseen law
lessness and brutality OF the lslip mob.
was not only tho cause Of deep anxiety
and sorrow TO our own citizens. but was
exciting universal condemnation both at
home and abroad. where tho practical
difficulties and embnrrassmeIts OF the
situation are not understood.
The landing was fortunately effected in
time to spare the detained passengers n
yet more distressing and perilous expe-
rience than any they Ind previously un-
dergone. Had they been exposed out on
tho bay during last nights storm in an
unsafe vessel the consequences would
have been deplorable and might have
been fatal.
The frmncss with which Gov. FLOWER
and the Health Officer acted after the
riotous conduct of the Babylon mob and
the remarkable injunction granted by
Judge BARNARD brought matters to n
serious crisis. cannot be too highly com
mended Tho occupation Of Fire Island
as post of detention for healthy passen-
gers not only brings much needed aud
most welcome relief to the sufferers ON
the Cepheus. but insures healthy cabin
passengers on any future arrival of an in.
fected steamer against similar trials.
1t is said that the Long Island people
will still continue their efforts to have the
quarantine station removed from Fire
Island. 1t is not probable thcy will sue
coed. Indeed they will soon discover
that there is no cause for alarm. The
quarantine force, who are using heroic
efforts to keep cholera out Of the city and
thus far with success. would not have
selected Fire Island as OBTAINING sta
tion if there had been any real danger of
spreading the disease to Long Island.
