quOiS shoulder bracelets. I left her
among the flowers in the garden, while
l ran back to the house for it. The pill
lars to that front veranda are miracles
of bigness, madame. Miss Fairbanks
must not have seen my approach. She
was looking down upon the old man
who sells her flowers. He stood upon
the ground. I heard her say, very dis
tinctly, but in a voice that was not
quite steady: Tell him yes-I will come
this once And the old man answered
back: Dry bayou, remember, missy,
five o'clock Dry bayou-fve o'clock
I will be there, Cato, tell Mr.. -
Then, madame. Miss Fairbanks saw me,

She disappeared, dragging the re-
luctant Ninette with her. Nora sat
quite still, enveloped in all the pain
and the powerlessness of a hideous
nightmare.
In that nightmare trance she saw, dis
commercially, a beautiful woman sitting
by the roadside, withered black hand
extending white envelope towards her
husband, Johns hurried and unusual
afternoon departure, Celeste's mocking
face and malicious gossip.
What then?" she asked, vehemently,
aloud.
After long silence she answered her
own question:
sit would be nothing more than de-
serve"

GOING TO THE FAIR.

With a pocket full OF money
And gripsack full OF clothes,
And with kodak loaded
For most anything that shows,
And with enthusiasm
That Is way beyond compare,
I'm going to Chicago
To be ''in it, at the fair.
I'll gaze on greater wonders
Than were ever dreant before
The world in past and present
am going 10 explore,
And all its rarest treasures
Will appear before my eyes,
Which were, wish, as many
AS are given to the flies.
Among the strangeSt people
In their natiTe streets III go
'Mong dwarfs from darkest Africa
And frozen Esquimaux;
Like in the ancient fairy tales
III visit every land
"From Greenland'S icy mountains
To midas coral strand"
I'll gain SO much of knowledge
That forever viii be
A bright encyclopedia
In high society:
And folks will crowd around me
When there's silver in my hair
To listen to the story
OF Chicago and her fair.
What care for the trouble
Or discomfort or expense
When fifty million dollars worth
I'll see for fifty cents;
To miss that biggest thing on earth
Would be a lasting crime
1 am going to Chicago
If it takes my bottom dime.
The railroad trains are crowded
And the ocean ships are crammed:
The highways are with carriages
And bicycles all jammed;
The lakes, canals and rivers
Haven't any room to spare
For all the world is going
To Chicago and her fair.
AT least million pocketbookS
Brimmed full of ready cash,
Two million Saratoga trunks
For baggagemen to smash,
And countless bullying gripSacks
Packed with the greatest care.
Are going TO Chicago
To boom along the fair.
Hoo-ray, then. for Columbusl
Three tigers for his fair.
I'm going to Chicago
II L must use Shank s mare;
III feast my eyes on wonders.
With knowledge fill my brain,
And proud III tell the story
When 1 am home again.

Miraculous Escape from Death on
the Wabash Railroad.
THIRTY WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Though Several Cars Took Six Foot

The Wounded WIN Probably Recover.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-THE west bound Chi
cago limited train on the Wabash road left
the track one mile south Of Namoka, ILL.,,
at ESQ last night, resulting in the injury
of some thirty people. The wreck is re-
markable in some respects, and is without
parallel in that no one was killed out of
the 450 passengers. The train was in
charge of Conductor Woods, and was
making up thirty minutes lost time. After
Namoka had been passed there was a clear
stretch of twelve miles of straight level
road to East st. Louis. The engineer put
on all force and the train was going forty
miles an hour when there was sudden
jar, followed by the slowing of the train.
Tho rails had spread behind the locomotive
and the cars following went over six
foot embauk ment
The buffet car behind the baggage car
swung across the track and the gas tank
exploded, setting fire to the first chair car
and the buffet car, which were consumed.
The uniniured Immediately set to work to
rescue their less fortunate companions.
Two physicians on the train did noble SER
vice.
While the excitement was at its highest
pitch n train on the Big Four, only thirty
yards away, came by at express speed,
and refused to stop in answer to signal.
Among the injured were the following;
C. G. Palmer, San Antonio, Tex, arm
and thigh broken; A. s. Stager, st. Louis,
right arm broken; Mrs. Emma C. Rogers,
St. Louis, badly injured in breast; Mrs.

slightly injured. 1t is believed that all
will recover.
In addition to these there were number
of returning Worlds fair visitors from ST.
Louis who were injured and conveyed to
their homes by friends before their names
could be learned. A dreadful loss of life
was only prevented by the gradual slow
ing of the train. The wounded were cared
for by the Wabash officials, the most Sc
verely injured being taken to st. Mary's
hospital and the others to hotels.
