He announced that Hermann NJ.

Department, had jus, returned from
Germany, where he had made an
elaborate study Of a new lymph or

DR.. Diggs considered it an infallible

thirty six hours after infection. The
principle was the same as that OF the
celebrated lymph which DR.. Koch
discovered tor the ure OF cousump-
ton. DR.. Edison defended the lat.
ter, which, he said, was all Dr.. Koch
had claimed tor it, though not what
the public at first ignoran,ly thought
it to be.
DR.. Edison said he had heard OF
this remedy some time ago. Ruwors
OF its efficacy kept coming acros:
until it was thought advisable to
send DR.. Bigg. TO Berlin to inves,i-
gate it. DR.. BIggs, he said, had
spent 4 great deal OF time in tbs
laboratories there studying the new
ant,,ox!ne.
Whatever doubts DR.. Biggs had

CINE, to be provided for by telegraph.
Then, Thomas" | added, the
President wants you to get to q. in
as nearly thirty minutes as your ma
chine will do it," Thomas said moth
ing for moment, but l could we'll
enough guess what was passing in his
mind. 1t was fifty miles from Z. to G.
The l.. & Nj. was what is known as
"Cne-hOrse" railroad. That is, in our
parlance, one whose rOadbed, as is apt
to be the case with roads 30 character
lied, was doubtful in character, seldom
inspected and next to never renewed,
tramped, ballasted, or REINFORCED with
substituted new for old and rotten ties.
To make fifty miles in thirty minutes
on such roadway meant to an en-
gineer taking his life in his hands.
For Pullman. which squats on the
track like a Saratoga trunk on
PLATFORM, and is literally dragged
along the rails, the risk. is compare
lively trifling. ut the most, the car
can only be ditched. But for the loco
motive engine, whose gait is success
sion of jumps or hops up and down upon
the tracks, a missing spike or fitting
tie or loosened ''tish-plate" might mean
the most utter destruction. But, al
though fOresaw all this, had not the
slightest doubt as to John Thomas an
swer. Indeed, who ever knew a loco
motive engineer yet to decline risk
under optional orders from the general
officer of his own company? Such an
che would be indeed a curiosity. The
answer came as short as John Thomas
self could make it-"All right. SIR
and that part of the business felt sure
Of The presidents car would certainly
be in G.. on time if John Thomas was
alive at noon tomorrow.

on the part of any Of us, no one could
have suspected it from the calm ex-i

but nobody replied to him.
Still, somehow, we seemed to hold
our own. After all, we were slightly
down grade. and gallant old No. BOB
seemed at least determined to give us
as much time as possible in which to
prepare for our certain death.
Just four miles out of f. station there
is quite perceptible change of grade
For there the l.. & NJ. track begins to
climb a considerable ascent. increasing
as the distance increases to summit
twelve miles from =. to what we call a
stub switch, that is, a siding which
leads to nowhere: in other words. a sid
ing used for storing rolling stock. Or
any other convenient purpose. If we
could only telegraph ahead to a pos
sible station at this stub switch"
to be ready to run us Off and then
fly the pursuing engine back to
the main track, this would be bet
ter than instant death, though
not much. for even that would mean
destruction to engine and car and al
most certain death to most of us at the
end of the stub" And yet how sweet
had become the prospect of an even
chance of life only in the face of GER
tain immO,a alton. But We were none of
us L. * NJ. men. and We knew not if
there wa an operator at the stub
switch, or the name OF the station
there, if there was one there at all.
Or who could tell us, either, if on this
Unlicensed line switchman whose only
occupation was to side-track an occa-
sional local freight could fly an engine
going thirty miles an hour ffor We
could hardly be doing less than that
with another less than u hundred yards

quietly away when the President
pleasantly directed me to join them:
On my being seated he mentioned
briefly that certain recent negOtla-
tion, had resulted in the purchas. by
us of certain line of track. ninety
miles in all. which the ~. Il F.. 50 our
rival was usually spoken of had also
been negotiating for. and which was
known "a the l.. & NJ. Railroad. The
actual transfer was to be made the nex-
day at the town tavern in c.. Il small
station on the newly acquired line, at
a. nearly sharp noon as might be. 1t
had been ascertained, however, that
the r. x f. people would be there with
an injunction to prevent the cOnslm-
nation. and our move was therefore to
get to c.. meet the l.. Il NJ. people and
complete the transfer before the r. 4

injunction. In short, it was put into
my hands to make the arrangements
necessary to successfully complete this
plan.
