A HEROIC GIRL.


"Yes, mother, a letter from aunt
Maria, and | was just dying to learn
what she says. Aunt Maria always
has some plan on hand for me"
Mrs. Craig tore open the missive.
"She only wants you to be ready to
go to Niagara Falls with her when
she arrives here on her way to New
York-that's all" And Mrs. Craig
folded the letter and tried to appear
unconcerned.
"To Niagara Falls Itsthegrand-
est thing that ever happenedl"
"Of course you'll let me go, said
Sue, releasing her hold and staring
at her mother as if there might be,
after all, the possibility OF a disap-
pointment.
eyes, Sue," said Mrs. Craig, pat
ting her daughter fondly on the
back, "you shall so, but just on one
condition, and that is that you will
never brighten us again as you did
yesterday by going through the
railroad tunnel OF crossing the tres
tie at the end Of it by yourself"
"I'll promise. And I'll keep my
promise, mother. That will net be
hard"
Every we'll. You know the dan
ger. Ii you should be caught in

to Mrs Huston's to stay all after
noon, and we want you to do the
tagging if any may be required.
There are only the two expresses
before Z o'clock, and we will be at
home by that time
Mr.. and Mrs Craig went on their
visit, and Sue was left by herself in
charge of the tunnel watch-house
She couldsee rightstraigh
the long, black hole and could catch
a glimpse of the distant mountain
peaks beyond, and she sat in the
little door and gazed in that direc
ton a full hour after her parents
had gone, for thither lay Niagara
Falls, 200 miles away. So inten
were her thoughts on the promised
journey that she forgot everything
else and failed to take note Of any
thing around her.
Once, for the moment, she wa

out the danger flag and the nextmo-

mouth Of the dark, damp hole. The
sudden chillinessseemed to cool her
heated brain, and she grew more
composed and stronger. She few
along over the ties as fast as her
nimble feet would carry her, but her
swiftest movement appeared hardly
equal to a snail's pacenow On, on
she sped into the darkness, with the
light from the farther end stream
ing into her eyes. At first all was
still, save the echo of her own foot
steps, but when she had crossed
half the distance she heard low,
ominous rumbling, whose meaning
she knew only too well. 1t was the
sound Of the southern express la
boring up the Valley Fork not a
mile away. She still had good
stretch to pass before she could
reach the mouth. Gould she get
there before the express? She had
scarcely asked herself the question
when the train leaped into the tun-
mel with shrek. She had gained
the wall quick as flash. She was
right opposite a manhole, and into
this she squeezed herself. She had
escaped by a hairbreadth, for the
great iron monster had passed her
with a snort like wild beast, and
had pulled a huge volume Of black
smoke into her very face before she
had had time to put her handker-
chief to her mouth. With a crash
like thunder the train went roaring
by.
Sue, half blinded and suHocated,
did not wait to see whether the
southern express would stop or not
She leaped out to the track again
and few on her mission to save the
other train coming down the Tres

just Like Jay Gould.

1t was Mr.. Gould's misfortune to have
surpassed the crowd of men by whom
he was surrounded and with whom he
had his dealings, not in audacious un-
scrupulousness. but in skill and in sue
cess. The character of the business III
which they are all engaged calls into
exercise by its nature unlovely traits Of
character, and encourages the use of
articles which sound moralist cannot
approve. Many things that Mr.. Gould
did injured his reputation, chiefly be-
cause he did them on a large scale. and
to the hurt Of numerous victims. The
like has been as often done by others
without their mourning obloquy, merely
because of the comparative pettiness of
! their otfense. This of course does not
excuse Mr.. Gould, but in justice it
should silence the clamor of many who
have been his most yirulent assailants.
We have little hope that the lesson
taught by Mr.. Gould's career and by the
memory that lie leaves behind him will
be needed by those to whom it ought to
be chiefly useful. They will see only
that he has succeeded in what they most
desire-the amassing of great fortune
and they will encounter the risk of a
reputation like his, provided only it
shall be accompanied by the same COM
pensation. Poor human nature!-New

About yyomcn's Clubs.

Speaking of women's clubs and their
management, Il cynical man remarked
that he had often thought what curious
gatherings they must be. why" he
said, "you don't smoke, you don't drink,
you don't play cards. For goodness
sake, what do you do with yourselves"
"Well," came the answer from an in
dignanr member, "I'll tell you what we
do. We come home sober about 10
o'clock, we don't lose our last cent play

we don't wake in the morning with a

sions that are not gossip or fashions, nor
yet concern sporting news or politics.

An Enthusiastic Student.

Humorous stories are being told now
as sort of aftermath of the football
game. In one of the up town hotels
very rich and promising business man
was seated in one of the cafes eating a
few oysters before going to bed. He is
living at the hotel this winter. An en-
thusiastic, well dressed young man wear
ing Princeton colors came into the cafe,
and in a whirl of delirium set out to
smash every hat which he saw. The
first one which he spied was that which
this business man Wore, and his broad
palm came down upon its crown with
such vigor that it was completely
jcmmed over the astonished owners
head. He took it good naturally and
was glad he did so, since he was told a
little later that the enthusiast was a
Princeton graduate, hard worker in
one of the Sunday schools of swell up
town church and the private secretary
of one of the most influential capitalists
in the city. The young man the next
day was AFFECT in his apologies, almost
weeping, and was only too glad to buy
as expensive hat as was i'll the marke,
to repay the one which he ruined. =

ces.
Catarrh medicines are of two classes
those that cure and those that relieve.
Those that cure are called specifics:
those that only relieve are called pallia-
tives. The number of specific catarrh
remedies is small indeed: the number of
catarrh palIiatives is legion. The effect
of catarrh paliatives is often Immediate
but always temporary: they never cure.
This kind of catarrh medicines includes
sprays. snutls, inhalants, gargles and loo
al applications of all kinds. They seem
TO cure for q time, bnt the disease is sure
to return. Pe-ru-na belongs TO the class
of catarrh remedies called specifics. Pc
ru-na does not paliatc the symptoms. but
cures the disease. IL is sometimes slow
in its action on old cases of chronic
catarrh, but it is sure. and its effects are
permanent. 1t is also an unfailing rem
