[ The Weak

The weak and the erring of the
earth find little sympathy from the
outside world. If you see a man
whose nerves are all unstrung.
whose knees shake, and who is af-

that the world generally laughs at
him. He is TO be pitied, though. 1t
IS not certain that these very pitia-
Die weaknesses are due to his follies.
Have YOU not been under big men

you know what that means. Per-
haps you work too hard and you
worry too much. 1t may be that
you have been silly as a youth. and

THE RAILROADS.

Mr.. j. Van Smith, who has recently
been appointed general superintendent
OF the Baltimore 8 Ohio railroad at
New York, is a son of the late William
Prescott Smith. who was master OF
transportation Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad during the war.
William Prescott Smith was very
closely identified with this road from
1855 to 1868. He wrote the first recos-
nlzed book on transportation ana was
the leading spirit in the great demon
stratIbn tia. took place in 1851. when
the Baltimore. & Ohio railroad was
completed 10 Parkersourg and when
connection was made between what
was then the Marietta and CINCINNATI
Railroad and the Ohio and Mississippi
md the Central Ohio and Mississippi
and the Central Ohio. il was the dream
OF the projectors of the Baltimore d
Ohio railroad 10 have an all rail route
from the Ohio River at Cincinnati 10
the seahoard at Baltimore, and when
this dream became a realization there
was great rejoicing and a tremendous
demonstration, both IN Baltimore and
Cincinnati. Colonel Smith was noted
for his dinners and entertainments. and
during his life time entertained seVeral
presidents and many Of the most noted
men OF that time During the war he
had charge OF the transportation or
the troops along the line OF the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad aud 1t was
chiefly due to his ability as railroad
man that the government was enabled
to handle expedltiously large bodies
OF soldiers. After the war he was made

after hour they pressed on untiringly,
pausing once for brief rest, and when
at last the gray light of dawn shone
through the forest the river was miles
to the rear.
Hungry and exhausted, the fugitives
threw themselves on messy glade. A
dense forest of poplars and silver birch
es was all around them, and close by
was babbling brook flowing over a
bed of pebbles. Here they quenched
their thirst, and then, reckless of the
consequences, they slept for an hour or
more until the sun was well up and
shining brightly through the trees.
Maurice knew that st. Petersburg
was many miles away, but he was hard
ly prepared for the Russians statement
that the actual distance was about Q, 500
miles.
Est. Petersburg lies to the west"
explained Grodno, "but to the Russian
frontier it is not more than / 900 miles.
That is the point we must strike for,
and we stand good chance of reaching

of it wild, and we are hundreds of miles
north of the great Siberian roads where
capture would be certain.
"And what will we do for food?"
asked Maurice in dismay. 'How are
we going to live through such jour
ney as that?"
There are villages scattered through
the country" replied Grodno, "and
the people are always willing to aid es-
capped prisoners. Our first necessity is a
change of clothes. We must rid our
selves of these convict garments"
"But won't we be pursued" asked
Maurice. How can we hope to escape
the soldiers?'
"We must take the chances" replied
Grodno coolly. "Our escape was dis
covered long ago, of course. 1t is posi-
BILE that when the empty boat is found
they will believe that we are at the
bottom of the river, but it is more than
likely that the Cossacks will scour the
country. We must stay in hiding for a
few days"
Grodno turned aside to converse with
hoihiu, anu mdurlCe eApldlHeu W MI
what the Russian had told him. In
spite of the discouraging outlook the
boys were now hopeful.
Everything depends ON reaching st.
Petersburg without being retaken, +" said
Maurice, "and once there, Phil, / shall
try to see this Colonel Jaroslav. If we
succeed in that, we shall be saved, ana
Vladimir Saradoff shall pay dearly for
this outrage. +"
To Maurice, comparatively ignorant
of the tremendous obstacles in the way,
the chances of reaching St. Petersburg
seemed very good, and his cheering
words frightened Phil considerably.
The conversation was cut short by
Grodno, who announced that it was

The answer was already trembling
on Maurice's lips, but he checked him.
self. "He will know the truth soon
enough, " he thought, so he replied eva
sively, 81 don't know, Phil-perhaps a
long confinement in some Russian for
tress."
The hours of that night seemed inter-
minable. Sleep was out of the question,
and the first gray glimmer of dawn that
crept into the dreary cell through a
narrow aperture, high upon the wall,
found the two boys YEARLY pacing the
floor.
A fairly good breakfast was presently
brought, which they barely tasted, and
then appeared a gendarme officer and
four men, who led the boys away.
Maurice begged for brief interview
with the commanding officer, hoping
to convince him of the truth, but the
guards refused to listen and hurried
them into the street, where close car
rage was waiting, hemmed about by
mounted Cossacks.
Through the gray mist they had a
hasty vision of countless domes and
spires of marvellous colors and fantastic
shapes.
Then the heavy curtains cut off the
view, and the carriage rolled away. 1t
stopped before a huge brick building,
and the boys passed quickly through
the gloomy portals. The gendarme off
Ger preceded them with stamped docu-
ment in his hand, which he delivered
to big, black bearded man in blue uni
form, who came forward to receive him.
A few words passed between them,
and then the boys were led away to
small, whitewashed cell, furnished with
a single bed and a chair. A grated door
opened ON a large corridor, which was
constantly patrolled by armed sentries.
They were now in the great forward
ing prison of Moscow, and the COM
mandant, Captain Sasha, had Just re-
ceived the official documents that seal
ed their fate. Russian justice knows no
delay.
During their two days confinement
here the boys attempted in vain to open
communication with the commandant.
Not the slightest attention was paid
to their entreaties, and no one came
near the cell except the guards.
On the third day their clothes were
stripped off, and they were given, in
place of them, coarse linen shirts and
trousers, long gray overcoats with vel
low, diamond shaped patches sewed be-
tween the shoulders, and visorless caps
of the same material.
Attired in these coarse garments, they
were conveyed in the dusk of the even

choked his antagonist into state OF
helplessness, and hastily plundering
him of his sword and revolver sprang
to his feet. He tossed these weapons
down to Hamid, following them with
the soldiers gun, and then made a des-
perate leap for the boat, just as half a
dozen guards rounded the corner of the
nearest deckhouse.
Had the fire made sufficient progress
to throw any light on the scene, escape
would have been impossible, but the
water was shrouded in darkness, am
by skillful use of paddle which was
lying in the boat Grodno drove it some
distance out in the river before the SOL
diers reached the spot.
"Stoop down." he whispered, and as
all otryed half a dozen rifles cracked
from the deck of the barge, and storm
of bullets battered around the boat. A
struggling fire was kept up. for two or
three minutes, but the guards were
shooting wildly, and none of the bullets
struck the boat.
Grodno continued padding with all
his might, and just as the shore doomed
up darkly ahead burst of flame shot
aloft from the barge, Illuminating the
water for many yards around. The
tumult was now terrific. The steamers
shrill whistle mingled with the cries of
the frightened convicts and the hoarse
command of the soldiers The flames
were long since beyond all control, and
the barge was doomed. The steamer had
dropped alongside and appeared to be
taking the prisoners from the burning
vessel.
Deeply interested in the thrilling
sight, the fugitives in the boat almost
forgot their own peril.
They waited until the barge was a
mass of flames from bow to stern, and
then Grodno drove the boat ON shore.
AS soon as Hamid and the boys were
out he turned it bottom up and sent it
adrift with the current

maybe he won't look for us. Hurry
now; we must get away. They'll soon
miss us. -
With last look at the steamer lying
motionless ON the water and the blaz-
ing hull of the barge, they turned up
the steep bank and plunged into thick
forest.
Grodno assumed the leadership, and
he hurried the party along at rapid
rate of speed, picking his way with
wonderful skill among the trees. Hour
