GREATLY FRIGHTENED.
A Young Lady's Experience In a Rai,-
way Car.

"A 1ounE Lady's Experience In a Rail-
way Car.
A young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had a verv
uncomfortable adventure. She reached
the station just as the train was START
lng' and had only time to jump into the
nrst compartment, where she dropped
upon seat. Not until the train was in
motlon did she notice that she had a
single fellow-passenger. man. young,
well-dressed. but of a somewhat for
bidding aspect.
The young lady unfolded a newspa-
per and began to read, but as the first
station was passed she chanced to
glance again toward the other end of
the carriage. The man was there. but
his face was no longer serene. He an
peared to be greatly agitated, and was
gazing intently in the direction of the
young lady.
"A sudden. overwhelming fear took
possession of her. All. the wild stories
OF railway murders to which she had
ever listened'rushed through her mind.
She felt herself doomed. She thought
OF shrieking for help. but her tongue
refused to move.
The monster-for so he seemed to her
Looked anxiously about him. appar-
emily to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his murderous design,
Then he advanced to the other end of
the carriage, came quite close to his
panic-stricken fellow-passenger. and
put his right hand in his overcoat
pocket: Was be feeling for knife, or
revolver? Springing to her feet, the
frightened traveller faced him in de-
spair.
What do you mean ?" she cried. half
fainting with fear.
He bent toward her, smiled grimlv.
and said:
Excuse me, madam. I offer you ten
thousand apologies if l have alarmed
you. Such thing was farthest from
my thoughts. but the fact is, have to
alight at the next station. and since Won
entered the train you have been sitting
on my hat"
The revulsion of feeling on the lady's
part can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Bushes took the place of
panic. Fortunately the hat was soft

No doubt the human race would con-

edy IT there were no looking glasses.
Yet, in spite of their widespread use,
1t is an astonishing fact that none of US
have ever seen ourselves as others see
US. In the first place, the reflection
in the mirror does not portray our like
ness with any attempt at accurac7.

specious household deceiver. 1t is
certain that if the looking glasses spoke
the truth the sale of various complexion

glass, and numbers of women who

they look bad in the mirror. You NAV
be certain that, however plain your
face seems, it is by no means so plain
as it appears in the telltale mirror.
Secondly, you cannot assume your
natural expression while peering in
the looking glass. The eye must be in
certain position before you can see
at all, and the eye, so far as expression
is concerned, governs the face. The
consequence is that you can see only
one OF your expressions in the glass,
and that expression is one of attentive
examination. All the other express

treasure that we had come so far to

of II men from the "Hispaniola." How

Yet there were still three upon that
island-Silver, and old Morgan. and
Ben Gunn-who had each taken his
share in these crimes, as each had hoped
in vain to share in the reward.

you're good boy in your line, Jim;

all he said.

DUTY.

> Thank God once more for Duty! when We lie
With some hot anguish on our brow.
Or walk in weakness meath some heavy
load.
Or fall by the wayside. while the world
Goes on with all its merry whirl Of noise,
And never heeds that one Is left behind:
And when our longing eyes scan spaces far.
And see through clouds the red sun moving
/ down
The western slopes Of sky: or when we hear
The voices of the loiterers wandering by.
Who bear away the last faint hope Of
Then. then thank God for Duty! bending
near.
Like dear. old-fashioned. half-forgotten
friend.
Who stopped at home while Joy was Of our
guests.
But who. when youth and strength and
courage fair
Have fed and left US shadowed by despair,
Comes softly In and by the bedside bends.
With touch 50 tender and voice so true
That healing drops upon us as her gift.
Full simple clad is she-no gorgeous robe
Rustles and shines obtrusive on sick sight.
But softest gray and white. like garb Of
nun.
And nun-like. too. she keeps in sight her
cross;
Her hands untremblingly hold the bitter
That. hard to drink. yet quickens the tired
pulse,
And lifts US up to go our way again.
Aye. more than this! soft-stepped along the
road
Hour after hour she Journeys by our side.
Faithful with cup. with staff. with warning
word.
And though no traveller cheer the way,
She makes the westward journey all aglow
With light, such shall he at evQnfida
On paths where shadows Of her sweet cross
fall.

J supposed them to be hunting. A coun.

! must desert them on the island-to the
huge glee, must say, of Ben Gum,
and with the strong approval Of Gray.
We left good stock of powder and
| shot, the bulk of the salt goat. few
medicines and some other necessaries,
tools, clothing. a spare sail, a fathom or
two of rope. and. by the particular de-
sire of the doctor, handsome present
of tobacco.
That was about our last doing on the
island. Before that we had got the
treasure slowed. and had shipped
enough water and the remainder of the
goat meat. in case of any distress; and
at last. one fine morning, we weighed
anchor. which was about all that we
could manage, and stood out of North
inlet. the same colors flying that the
captain had flown and fought under at
the palisade.
The three fellows must have been
watching us closer than we thought for,
as we soon had proved. For, coming
through the narrows. we had to lie
very near the southern point. and
there we saw all three of them kneeling
together on spit of sand. with their
arms raised in supplication. 1t went
to all our hearts. think, to leave them
in that wretched state; but we could
not risk another mutiny; and to take
them home for the gibbet would have

doctor hailed them and told them of
the stores we had left. and where they
were to find them. but they continued
to call us by name and appeal to us,
for Gods sake, to be nerciful, and not
leave them to die in such place.
At last. seeing the ship still bore on
her course, and was now swiftly draw
ing out of earshot, one of them-I know
not which it was-leaped to his feet
with hoarse cry. whipped his musket
to his shoulder and sent shot whis-
tling over Silver's head and through the
mainsail.
After that we kept under cover of
the bulwarks, and when next l looked
out they disappeared from the spit,
and the spit itself had almost melted
out of sight in the glowing distance.
That was, at least, the end of that; and
before noon. to my inexpressible joy,
the highest rock of Treasure Island had
sunk into the blue round of sea.
We were so short of men that every
one on board had to bear a hand-only
the captain lying on a mattress in the
stern and giving his orders; for. though
greatly recovered, he was still in want
of quiet. We laid her head for the
nearest port in Spanish America. for
we could not risk the voyage home
without fresh hands; and. as it was.
what with battling winds and couple
of fresh gales. we were all worn out
before we reached it.

charming contrast to our dark and
bloody sojourn on the island; and the
doctor and the squire, taking me along
with them, went ashore to pass the
early part of the night Here they met
the captain of an English man-of-war,
fell in talk with him, went on board
his ship, and, in short, had so agreeable
a time that day was breaking when we
came alongside the 'Hispaniola."
Ben & Gunn was on deck alone, and, as
soon as we came on board, he began,
with wonderful contortions, to make us
a confession. Silver was gone. The

cheaply quit of him.
Well, to make long story short, we
got few hands on board, made good

Poii,s Wonderland rheo ter.

The new show drew a full house at the Wonderland last night, despite the weather. It is fine show, with some- thing to please all, comprising fine view of war incidents, for the patriots, and varied presentment of excellent vaudeville acts give the best of enter- tainment. "Lfnger Longer Lucy" the popular song in spectacular sketch, is medium for the introduction of Miss Amelia Glover, a sinuous dancer, and four other young girls, who are very pretty and graceful. This actznon- cludes with a patriotic tableau Iixat scores a great hit.
 The great Avo1as are astonishing all who though they had seen the best acrobats in the country. Their feats upon the upright>sbars are surprising and wonderful, especially the double somersaults.
 "The Wrong Flat" which Is about the best comedy that Manager Poll has yet given us, is a very bright con-I coction of fun and is played by Claude Gillingwater and Ed J. Heron, with an excellent support.
 In the olio are "The Wedding of the Chinee and the Coon," an act with four real Chinamen in 1t. Williamson and Stone, Charles and Lottie Fremont. Campbell and Caulfield and the Hels- tons.

LAW STUDENT ARRESTED.

Middletown, Conn.,, May 16.-Edwin King, formerly we'll known contrac- tor in this city, but latterly a law stu dent in Attorney Bacon's office, was 2r- rested tonight, charged with assault with intent to murder. The complain ant is Thomas D. Brown, sheriff of the county of Middlesex. The alleged assault, etc., took place last Thursday when Sheriff Brown, acting for the Farmers and Mechanics Savings bank elected King from his house on Warwick street under proceedings of foreclosure. King made a vigorous re- sistance and was armed with a rife, though he denies attempting to use it of threatening the sheriff. He admits that he did tell the sheriff that he was not fit to live, nor either was he fit to die Mrs. King was also armed with a revolver. Judge Pearne held King under $2,000 bonds for trial tomorrow.
