81. G. Dolby, Section 81" he had
read in his little book with the
thumbed blue cover, and he had ex-
pected to see a grizzle- bearded man
with a rough, red face and stubby
black pipe. For Cragie was known
to be one of the worst sections on
the line. It's keeper was required to
walk mile from the end of the
long bridge and through the cut
twice every day, winter and summer,
and it often required cool head and
vigorous body to dodge the tramp
freights that Numbered back and
forth with seeming disregard for
time cards and running rules.
The new inspector had come down
from Cragie's. walking the whole
length of Section 27. He had found
everything in the best of order, not
a bolt loose nor a spike gone, and he
felt, after the manner of new in
spectors, like complimenting the Wig
lance of the keeper.
SIS L. c. Dolby in?" he asked,
when he reached the keepers house
on the Mill.
"Yes, sir; will you walk ini" asked
the rosy checked girl who came to
the door.
He stepped into the neatest of lit
tie sitting rooms. There were flowers
in the windows and CHEEKY fire on
the hearth, in front of which lazy
tabby cat yawned good humored
greeting.
"My name is Baxter, the new in
spector, and | wish to see l.. G. Dol
by, the keeper of 81" he said.
The girl flushed slightly. He OBJ
served that her hair was cut short
like a boys, and that her chin was
firm and sharp.
Il am the keeper" she answered
my name is Lettie G. Dolby, and
I've had the place since father was
injured last winter"
That's right, and as good as a
man she is, toop came gruff voice
from the inner room.
Lettie flushed again.
Its father" she whispered; won't
you step in and see him9 He's very
glad to have visitors
Baxter had not yet recovered from
his shock Of surprise at finding that
the slim, blue-eyed girl who stood
before him was really keeper of
Cragie's cut, and he allowed himself
to be led into the other room. There,
at big, bright window, sat man in
a rocking chair. His face was of the
chalky whiteness that comes from
being always indoors, and his lap
was spread with a plaid comforter
He looked prematurely old and worn,
"How are Youi" he asked. I'd get
up, only" and he motioned to his
crippled legs with faint smile.
That's all right, responded Bax-
ter, alphabetically; "keep your seat.
And Baxter, sitting there, heard
: Lettie explain the condition of Sec
ton q, and make her report as
promptly and very much more clear
ly than any of the keepers he had
met. She spoke in frank, almost
boyish way, and she understood her
work as we'll as Baxter himself did

al salute was being fired from the ships, At this a broad smile overspread the faces of the 'squire's congregation, and with very red face he dismissed what there was left of the audience, as soon as he could make himself heard. The dignitied squire was very sore upon the subject of Decatur's Sabbath-breaklng for long time.
 That Turtle Incident.
 The war feeling ran high in those days, Colonel George l.. Perkins, the Norwich centenarian, who was pay master in the army at the time of the Decatur blockade, visited Commodore Hardy's fleet under a flag of truce off New London and secured the release of an imprisoned seaman. While there Commodore Hardy courteously present. ed him with a fine green turtle from the West Indies, and the colonel brought 1t into New London with him. There, when it became known that the colonel had brought back a turtle from Brit ish ship, the people became indignant. Some of them declared they wanted nothing of the kind from Commodore Hardy He could send shot and shell; to those they could reply. In their ex- citement over the matter number of New Londoners went to the colonePs boat and threw the turtle overboard.- New London Day.

Long Record of Extraordinary Acci-
 dents.
 H. Lewis Cowles, who lost his right foot in consequence of an accident on the trolley at Unionvlle, a few days since, is able to drive ar d to do consider able business. His life has been distin- guished by an extraordinary number of accidents. MT. Cowles made a list yes terday of the most important of these, which amount to twenty-one. The ac- c1dents are as follows: '1-When I was six months old l fell into the cellar on a pile of stones and cut my temple open.
 "2-When I was five years old horse kicked me and broke my thumb.
 '3-When I was twelve I cut my leg on the ice in Glastonbury and was laid up for five weeks and three days. '4-When fourteen I was dragged forty rods by a harrow tooth which caught me in the ankle. "5-In the same year l broke my arm. ''6-In the following year while I was hauling logs pine tree fell across the team, one limb pinning me to the ground. The limb had to be cut away before I could escape. It was a close call.
 '7-The following summer I was overcome by heat while having. I was laid up two weeks.
 'S-In the same year I fell from a hay mow and put my foot through the feed box which was bottom side up, taking the flesh off both sides of my an- kle. My father had to cut the box open to release my foot. '9-When seventeen I enlisted in the navy. A parting hawser cut my ear nearly in two.
 '10-In the winter of 1867 was nearly frozen to death on night when 1t was twenty-four degrees below. Was rubbed in the snow an hour before 1 came to. I was laid up in bed for two weeks.
 "11-July 4, 1868, was overcome by heat in New York. Warren l.. Forbes of Hartford, carried me into hospital near by.
 "12-In 1869, while taking down to- bacco for William H. Boyle, I fell from the top of the shed, splitting the heel of my left foot.
 1o-lH loiU, WLlle nduSlHS tOpdCcO at home, I fell, and was unconscious ten hours.
 '14-Again, while hanging tobacco, fell and was unconsclous for an hour.
 "15-While hanging tobacco for Thomas Anderson, l had third fall. "16-While I was loading hay for Frank Burnham the horses started throwing me off the load, and driving a 1 pitchfork into the calf of my leg.
 TIA falling timber, while I was at | work building a tobacco shed, split a | bone in my forearm. "1S-While I was at work on Board mans ice-house, at the north end, a | falling plank broke four of my ribs. "19-I was leading a horse across a l footbridge in Poquonock. The bridge gave way, and we both fell into twenty feet of water.
 '2O-July 9th of this year I was over- come by the heat.
 '21-The next morning I went to the city with a load of vegetables I re- member when the wheel of that trolley member anything until the Monday night when I realized that I had lost my foot. It was hard struggle be- tween life and death, but I am still liv- ing, thanks to the untiring efforts of | the skillful doctors and kind nurses of the hospital, whom wish to thank for their kind efforts in my behalf. I wish to thank also all of those friends who called to make the hours less gloomy in 1 tha hospital"

Fourth of July Story.

fOuTLu Ol July oLOly.
 The late Guy C. Stoddard of Gales Ferry used to relate Fourth of July story of the blockade that was worth telling. It happened while the Decatur fleet was moored off the Ferry. The Fourth of July that year came on Sun day, and there was an itching desire on the part of many to celebrate it, al- though it had fallen on the Lords day. But religion was uppermost in the mind of old Squire Ralph Hurlbutt, who preached in the village church, under the mountain, and he had prepared an extra solemn sermon for the day In it he scathingly denounced all who had ever given a thought to the proposed celebration, of which, in some way he had been informed. This was during the morning service, and the congrega- tion talked over the minister's upbrafd- ipgs during the noon hour; but people in those days were more subject to the rule of their clergymen than to-day, Derhaps. for they all returned to the af- ternoons discourse, which was droning along slowly, when suddenly there came the most terrific boom of a can- non from the river, Crashi crashI crashI it resounded through the little valley, splitting the window glass out of the sashes in the church, and filling every one with fear and surprise. ,Souire Hurtbutt halted and then went on. Then came another terrific bang and then another, and then they came steadily, so that the half-paralyzed au- dience at length realized that a nation

Mayor Roundtree lived in a large
two-storied brick house standing back
hundred yards from the street, in ex-
tensive grounds. It was in the suburbs
of the city, and at the end of one of the
electric car lines.
When the mayor went home that
afternoon, about six o'clock, he found
his family sitting on the front veranda
waiting for his return. The group con-
sisted of his son Marion, n young man
just of age, his married daughter,
Lillian, her husband, Fred Walters, and
Mrs. Roundtree.
Talking about the murder, know"
said the mayor, rs he came up the
steps.
1--WE are concerned about your offer
ing that reward, DEAR" Mrs. Round
tree replied. "If had been downtown
should have begged you not to do it,
The murderer is evidently of unsound
mind, and the reward may direct his
attention to you. You know he says"
Mammals only nervous" interrupted
Lillian. "She hasn't talked of a thing
all day except the isolation of our house
and how easy it would be for creature
of that kind to make us his victims"
"Pshaw! that's all nonsense" ex-
claimed the mayor, taking the seat va
Gated for him by his son, who had
thrown himself into hammock. Be
sides, the reward may be the means of
putting the man under lock and key"
II wish it had been the duty of some
one else to offer it," replied Mrs. Round
tree, plaintively. "Why, dear, he was
near enough to have killed you when he
put that note into your pocket"
"He is not that sort of criminal" said
Lillian, to the surprise of the others.
"He will never kill anyone in open day.
light on the street, where he might be
seen. AS the murderer says in his let
tiers, the secret lies in that smile on Mr..
Strongs face. DR.. Kramer saw the
body, and he said this afternoon that he
had never heard of anyone being killed
with just such facial expression. 1t
is my opinion that you'll have to go
deep into psychical phenomena to get
at the mystery"
FLUSH, Lillian; don't like to hear you
talk that way" said Mrs. Roundtrce.
81 have never approved Of your reading
the books you read"
"You object to my reading anything
which is really new and progressive"
said the young wife, pettishly. THE
world would stand still if we did not
study the new sciences-if we did not
allow ourselves to think on new lines. y
ct seems to me, sister," remarked
Marion, "that you have talked more
about the murder than anyone else.

Since we have been out here, / have
noticed that mother has changed the
subject three times, but some remark o
yours has always brought the converse
ton back to it,"
Brother, you know that is a deliber-
ate-it is not true" Lillian retorted,
angrily.
81 must say l thought so too, dear" in
terposed Fred Walters. Don't you re-
member mother said something about
the services at church tonight? Well,
before anyone had time to reply you
began talking again about whether it
could be proved that WILDLY had not
been out of the house to distribute the
notes."
Lillian seemed to forget her anger in
her interest in the subject. She rose
and stood in the doorway. ''As far
as that is concerned" she said, with
animation, WILDLY could have had an
accomplice. TWAS strangely dramatic
thing the way he called up the police
at the telephone and remained with the
corpse till they came, not even allowing
the servant to enter. If he is guilty, he
is at least original. In these days Of
masculine stupidity it would be pity
to execute an original man. I never
could see why murderers should be such
short-sighted fools. I read the other
day of a man who shot another down
and went to the jail pretending to be
insane to escape punishment. How
much more effective would it have been
il he had Systematically pretended to
be insane month or SO before he COM
mitted the deed!---I mean If he had
done little things which would scarce
ly cause remark at the time, but which,
coupled with the crime afterwards,
would have pointed conclusively to in-
sanity. If wanted to drown myself in
the river, and did not want anyone to
think it was done Intentionally,
would first do great many things to
make it look as if had never dreamed
of such thing. I would make engage
ments, leave things unfinished, as if
intended to return to them the next
moment, and"

Mrs. Roundtree. "What can make you
