rate of speed, he suddenly rounded q
curve that led TO the mouth of the tun-
mel and was horror stricken to see that
it was a roaring furnace of flame He
could not check the speed of the train
in time to prevent entering the tunnel
and he reasoned instantly that a stop
in the tunnel meant death to the big
load OF passengers and the train crew
Taking the desperate and only chance
that remained, Of pulling through the
tunnel and believing that the heat had
not as yet warped the rails. as the
fire seemed to be in the roof he pulled
the throttle of the engine wide open
and rushed into and through the blaz-
ing furnace. The passengers cid not
have time to realize the awful situation
until the train had been brought to
stand on the other side. when John
and his fireman were found almost SUI
located and seriously burned but all
others we're safe. The heat was SO
intense that the cars were scorched
windows cracked and otherwise dam
aged. Shortly after the train passed q
part of the roof of the tunnel fell in,
Bartholomew's heroism was the talk
of the hour and his wonderful rapidity
at grasping the situation and in car
rying out his thoughts no doubt pre-
vented one of the most terrible ac-
cidents IN railroading annals. Henry
ShrieVe was conductor of the train.
For several weeks afterwards the
Virginia g Truckee railroad was COM
PEELED TO run stages TO the Mound
House until the tunnel could be re-
paired. There are still number of
people in Nevada that remember the
details OF Bartholomew's heroic act
just a quarter of a century ago.

BALLAD OF THE FLEET-45o B. C

When we Ioosed from blue Piraeus.
Under the Violet Crown,
The sun hung over the masthead
Like Pallas above the town;
The sun hung over the masthead
And the land lay on the lea,
Where the gray eyes, of Glaucopis
Were the eyes that followed me.
We sailed away to the southland
Where the maids are born to kiss;
We saw the daughters of Pharaoh
When we lay at Nauchrati5;
And their eyes slnone Ike Sciences.
But adj that they said to me
Was: The gray eyes of Glaucopis
Are the eyes that shine for three"
We coasted the Great Kings country
We looked on the Asian girls
We saw the fash of their white arms
The toss of their coal black curls;
But out of their songs and dances
The message that came to me
Was: THE gray eyes of GIaucOpiS
Are THE eytas THAT watch for thee"
Sometimes when the night wind whimpers
And whistles among the SparS,
And the sullen ratndrop splaSheg,
And a wet mist dims the stars.
At night of their fearful beauty
/ think on u harbor quay
Where the gray eyes of Glaucopis
Are the eyes that weep for me
AS oft in the summer starshine
We lotter among the isles,
We can see the town lights twinkle
And beckon across the miles;
But behind them and beyond them
a city | seem to see
Where the gray eyes of Glauoopis
Are the eyes that becoon me

HUNTING FOR PROOFS.

But when lie Went to the postoffiee
an hour later he went out of his way
to pass Trdver's cornfield. There in
plain view stood the scarecrow, a ludi-
crous creation with a grinning yellow
head. And on its neck-yes- around it's
neck something soft and delicately blue
! fluttered in the breeze.
Poor Orrin! He felt his face grow
slowly red and hot. And a great wave
! Of amazement and indignation sWelled
within him.
He knew he would not have given
that muffler to anybody but Gracia
( Gaylord. And she had seemed to be
delighted with it; she had said it would
! be beautiful for her sofa pillow. And
then-she had gone and tied it on d
ScarecroW.
Orrin could hardly believe it. She was
so kind and pleasant always. Or he had
thought she was. Probably it was all
so. what Lem kincaid had said. Proba-
bly, she had made fun of him behind his
back to the Hyatts and May Traver
and everybody. There WAS plenty to
make fun Of the boy thought, with
tingling Notwithstanding bashfulness,
and his common looking clothes. and
his country ways.

b. & O. improvements.

The work of Strengthening the track and
reducing the grade at Tabs Station on the
second division of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad was recently completed, and the
first train to use the new line was No. l, the
New York and St, Louis flyer. A heavy
grade and three bad curves have been elm.
mated by this work. A mile east, at Meyers
Hole, similar improvement has also been
completed after months of work Several
reverse curves and nasty and dangerous
dip are done away with at this point. Near
Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of the
track is being materially changed, and, as in
the other two improvements, bad grades
and sharp, annoying curves are being re-
moved. This part of the work will be done
in sixty days and then a series OF very dan.
gerous places will have been entirely re-
moved. This work in it's entirety means the
hauling of several additional cars in each
freight train, besides reducing the danger
of derailments to almost nothing. The Sec
ond division, running from Cumberland to
Brunswick, will soon be in frstclass con-
dition and more cheaply operated than
ever.

other. One of them was short and stout:
the other was man of medium size, to
whom everything along the route seemed to
be new.
AS they We're passing along near the car

the fine residence upon the bluff and said:

house up there, with the big veranda?"

DOG ACTORS.
Heroic and Important Actions in the
Play Performed by CANNES.

Heroic md Important Actions in the
Play Performed by CANNES.
"A stirring melodrama, in which all
the heroic and important actions were
performed by dogs, was played in Glas-
gov, Scotland, recently. The manager
is an american. His production is
called "Signal Lights"
The dog Towser, after the murder OF
an old squire by the villain, changes the
knives lying beside tie body, thereby
saving the hero from a charge of muir
der; the dog Leoprevents the hero from
the wouldLbe assassin's pocket; the
ST.. Bernard Brouno rescues the heroine
from drowning; and a trampwho comes
to the villains assistance is tackled by
the bulldog Ned.
But this is not all. Act w., which pre-
sents the great railroad sensation" is
thus described on the playful:
''The girl, Romp, is fastened with
strong ropes to the railway line-the
train is fast approaching-the villain
changes the signal from danger to all
right'-the signalman has been chloro-
formed in the hut, but his faithful dog,
Duke rushes in and tears the chloro-
formed handkerchief from the face Of
his PROSTATE master-the dog Towser'
rushes in and changes the signal to
danger'-the dog, Prince also enters
md unties the rope which biuds his
mistress to the line, and drags her from
the track as the train comes steaming
on, and stops through the changing of
The Signal Lights"
In the last act the dog Hero steals an
Important will from the desk of the
villain and hides it in box, thereby
preventing the estate of Romp Hender-
son falling into the hands of her perse-
cutors."-N. Y. Journal.

TRICKS OF A TRAMP DOG.

to Live Down His Past.
He is not fair to look upon, is this
hobo dog, with his unkempt whiskers
and tangled hair-bright and express
i've eyes being the one defect in his
tramp makeup" Persistence may,
however, atone for lack of pulchritude
in his case, for the tramp dog is deter
mined to find a home and become
respectable member of canine society.
He does not force himself unlimited
into any house or yard-he has too
much sense for that. He has gained
knowledge of human nature in his wan.

men, while boys he only watches warhy

all alertness. Trotting along with her,
he perks his head aside and says, as
plainly as dog can:

home and give me bath and bone
and let me play with the children?

er than an occasional Get away, you

card. Scampering into the street, he
returns with twig or bit of paper
and renews the conversation.
Just look at me a moment, please"
he says. Don't you see 1 am a smart
dog? 1 can carry twig in my mouth.
The children will have no end of sport
with me if you take me home"
So he persists until the end of his
self-appointed beat is reached and the
woman passes on. He stops then, dis
consulate and disguised, dropping his
air of cheerfulness and relapsing into
a plain, uncouth canine tough. With
nose between outstretched forepaws
he seems to soliloquize:
"Say, desc guys make me tired. Wot
do dey want dawg ter do, anyhow
talk French and sing a sopranner solo?
I'm dead stuck to get chance to live
straight, but it don't look like it's no
use. / guess I'll have ter stick to the
cold handout game, but I'll chew one
of them French poodles er a pop-eyed
pug before dey land me in the pound,
anyhow"
Another woman comes along about
then, however, and hope again rises
within him. Time after time he re-
peats his little confidence game, but so
far with the same dispiriting result.
He is working hard for his rise in life.
He deserves it, and more than one
passer-by who has watched him day
after day hopes that he will yet gain
the snug quarters he deserves.-Louis-

Queer Happenings.

While one man may fall from the roof
Of house and escape unhurt, another
will receive fatal injury from merely
stumbling his toe. Frank Pommer, a
wealthy New Yorker, lost his life be-
cause some one stepped on his foot,
blood poisoning following the bruise.
Dennis Cummings fell II stories down
an elevator shaft and was uninjured.
Mrs. Margaret Ryan, of Philadelphia,
fell out of bed, broke her hip, and died
of the injury. Last summer in Camden
a man was drowned in water that was
hardly knee deep. having fallen from
an attack of vertigo. Another man re-
manned afloat in mid-ocean half a day
and was rescued. Nobody can explain
why things happen as they do. They
simply happen, that's all.-Philadelphia

The strange new light the whole world

When life loves perfect blossom bore?
The dreams we had, the songs we made.

Chocolate Almonds.

Blanch the almond meats by pouring
boiling water over them and let them
stand few moments; then turn the hot
water off and throw cold water over
them. The skin may then be easily
rubbed off. Break some sweet choco-
late into small pieces, put them in a
small dish and stand this dish over the
fire in pan of boiling water. When
the chocolate is melted put blanched
nut meat on the point of hat pin and
dip into the melted chocolate; then lay
it on oiled paper to cool. When the
chocolate becomes set the meats may be
again taken up with pin; such Sec
ond coating of the chocolate will please
many that are very fond of chocolate
