freight train. He was apparently dazed
by terror, and stood still, not seeing
that behind an express train was rush

The girl saw that before she could
make him understand his danger I,
would be too late. She therefore threw
up her arms. shrieklng wildly, "Help,
help! help" trusting to the impulse
which sends man on the instant tC

I'm coming" shouted the Irlshman
sprlnglng toward her In time to escape
the engine as II rushed past. He stared
back at it, and then at the woman cry
ing and laughing at the window, and
taking off his hat with shaking hands
said:

There was a large attendance at the

skating contest between Lean and Gesheli
probably being the reason for the crowd

and rendered selections oil evening.
The race was called at nine o'clock.
when the ice was cleared and the two
skaters took their positions on either
side OF the rink. The boys start ed evenly
and for the first lew rounds kept about
the same distance apart. but it soon be-
came plainly evident that il was Leans
race. He gained gradually on GesheIl
and kept increasing his speed as the race
continued. About the sixth lap be began
TO close up aud on the tenth passed his
opponent, who when he saw the race was
lost did not ehdeavor TO make time.
Lean, however, kept up his speed and
crossed the mark ia 3:5l. The slow
time II accounted for by the fact that the
ice was 10 rather poor condition, there
being lot OF snow on it. which made il
hard TO make time. Lean put up good
race and made Il good record for himself,
while Geshell skated well, but was appar-
emily no match for his opponent. f. j.

Have you seen him-the fellow about

the streets through the huge man-holes
around the principal corners for the past
week?
Well, he hasn't been plugging leaks in
water pipes, as one might suppose, but
has been stringing thousands of little
wires underneath Savannah in order that
people may hereafter do their talking at
long distance below the noisy clatter of
the pavement.

The bicycle carnival next We'd

portion every day and there is now no
doubt that it is going to be big parade.
Estimates of the number of riders expect
ed to be in line vary ali the way from 800
to 1890, but none of them go below the
former figure and a conservative predic-
ton would probably place the number
from 700 to 1000.

up and is now given for the first time. 1t
is as follows:
For the largest club having the largest
number of riders first prize. handsome
