of his wits. II fact, he was speeches., and
could only point with trembling hand
toward the summit of mountain which
rose frowningly above the track on the
other side OF TIE lHel Following his
gesture, looked out of the cab window,
and beheld sight which fairly stupifed
me with amazement.
A long train of cars, composed entirely
of flame, was rushing across the sky, over
the top of the mountain. From the smoke
stack of the phantom engine were pouring
clouds of sparks, that seemed to mingle
with the stars in the midnight sky. Sud-
denly a crimson flag appeared, waving
from the cab window Then in an instant
the apparition was gone, and only the stars
were shining i'll the black, midnight sky.
''It's a supernatural warning, Bob!'
said my fireman, in an awed whisper.
"There danger ahead-harkW
From around the flank of the mountain
across the river flashed, at that moment,
the Keeling headlight of an engine running
at full speed! Not sound did she make
other than the rumble OF her own wheels
not even the customary short whistle as
she approached the bridge.
The moment laid eyes on her l knew
that she was a runaway; and before she
had gone hundred yards the mogul's
great driving wheels were grinding back
ward on the rails. "God help us!' / cried.
"Our only chance is to run ahead of her,

1t was terrific race. l still shudder at
the thought of it. The mogul was the
larger and more powerful engine, but her
wild pursuer was running light and appar
emily at full speed The result must have
been awful had we met her headon. Past
half dozen sleepy little way-stations we
flew, the wild engine gaining few feet in
every mile, till at last some wide awake
operator OWNED the situation, and sent the
saving message flashing ahead of u.s. As
we dashed by the long freight-siding at
Hardwick. we saw the plucky station
master dart to the switch-rod, unlock it,
and throw it over the instant we had
passed. The wildcat was less than three
hundred yards behind us at the time, but
the switch caught her, and we saw her
plunge against the bunker at the end of
the rails, and fling herself in Kissing,
flaming ruin into the field beyond.
We put on the breaks, and came to a
stop little way beyond the station. The
conductor leaped from the baggage-car and
ran forward to the engine.
"My heavens! it was close shave" he
exclaimed, clambering into the cab and
wringing my hand. ''How on earth did
you know that thing was coming when you
stopped at the bridge?" II saw a sign
in the sky that warned me, | faitered.

A Nation OF sandal wearers.

One of the most striking sights that
takes the attention of the traveller in
Japan is that of the wooden sandals worn
by the 5000, 900 of people, says the Bos-
ton Journal. These sandals have sep
arate compartment for the great toe and
make clanking noise on the street.
Straw slippers are also worn, and tray
eler starting out on journey will strap a
supply OF them on his back, that he may
put on a new pair when the old is worn
out. They cost but a cent and half a
pair. They are rights and lefts and leave
the foot free to the air. We never see
those deformities of the foot in Japan
which are so frequent in this country,
They are never worn in the house, but
left outside the door. Passing down the
street you may see long rows of them at
the doors, old and new, large and
small.
