himself round, the flying rebel saw a
single horseman, far in lead, charging
down on him; and the great stride of the
horse warned him that his own under
fed beast must lose in that overmatch.
More carefully than before he braced
himself by his knees, taking steady aim
ut the on-rushing shadow behind, just
as red flash cleaned out from it.
His turning had saved the scout, for he
felt the wind of the bullet whizzing by;
but he heard, too, that rasping, indie
scribable sound of lead crashing into
flesh! One lurch, and the black was on his
knees, rolling over so quickly as to pin
his riders leg beneath him. On sped
the pursuer, followed close by others;
and the reb--with teeth set from pain
and rage-rested his pistol on his bride
arm and waited to make his last shot
sure-telling.
''Cease firing" rang out in clear COM
mand; and the trained troopers fell
into twos, as they rode up behind their
officer.
Covered by Evans pistol, the latter
rode on alone to certain death, his own
revolver silent in his hand. For, with
his brutal fire of battle hot in his blood,
the scout steadied his aim, and pressed
his finger slowly on the trigger-when
suddenly he grew dizzy from pain, and
fell back helpless. The next instant the
| pursuit was on him and he was covered
by the officers pistol.
"Dlsmount and secure him, sergeant,
the federal ordered, quietly: do YOU
surrender"
81 can do nothing else" Evan an
swered, sullenly, quickly adding, in his
own vein: And if you want live
capture, let some of your blue-coatet
gentlemen lift this good friend of min'
off my leg"
The sergeant and another were al
ready beside him, the former deftl.

easy, boys! Wait bit! think tina
left legs gone!' he said, with catcl
in his breath. "U-hghl Ah-h! That
better, Mister Yank." And he put hi
foot gingerly on the ground, tried t.
rest upon it, then leaned heavily on thu
stalwart sergeant.
"Who are you?" the officer asked

a flash of the heavy pistol, a sound
betwixt groan and a roar, and the
Yankees horse plunged forward to his
knees, rolling his rider in the snow. A
touch of the spur, shake of the bit,
and Evans blackwell trained to that
kind of woTis-wSs Gashing southwark
at half-speed, skimming tree-trunim
desperately close, but choosing safest
way wholly unguided, while urged ever
by spur and voice.
On came the pursuers, strung out
through the dim woods, handicapped by
heavier mounts and ignorance of the
way, yet gallantly pressing after the
flying enemy-not knowing if he were
one or dozen.
Now and again the carbines rang,
more than one chip of bark flying near
the scouts head, and one bullet whis-
Ting close by his ear. But it was rae
ing aim, and the wood was darker than
without so Evan stuck to the shelter as
long as he might, before striking out
into the woods trail. He was gaining
on the federals, too; and fainter beat of
hoofs in front, and fainter still, told
him that Carolyn Clay was past pursuit
was safe at last!
Into the road he dashed; into the road
soon strung the pursuit; and with a
yell and touch of both spurs the scout
gave the black his head and raced for
freedom
Then straight ahead rang out dis
tant shot-a pistol, his trained ear told
Evan; and his heart grew as lead, for
he knew the federal had used the car
bine. The girl had met some check
was fighting her way through!
Clinching his teeth and bending far
over the neck of his foaming steed,
Fauntleroy drove both spurs cruelty
home, racing ahead Needless of bullets
whistling by, every fiber of his brain
strained to listen. No more shots-no
sound of hoofs; only deaths stiffness
ahead But from behind the thud OF
hoofs drew nearer, spite of his increased
speed-nearer still! Then, wrenching

Measuring an En- rt:lguake.

Some interesting computations and
Investigations have been made on the
earthquake which disturbed Calcutta a
year ago. This earthquake was regis
tered at nineteen observatories in Eu-
rope (the most distant of which was
Edinburg. 1910 kilometres from the
epicenter. The seismographs and mag
photographs made records of the distur-
bance, and the average of the results
obtained indicates that the mean sur
face velocity of the first vibrations
was either nine or eleven kilometres
per second. according to the time ta-
ken for Calcutta. These first vibra-
lions, which lasted for twenty-three
minutes, were followed by large, long
periodic oscillations whose velocity
was either 2.61 or ZIG kilometres per
second. Crossing Italy the complete
wave must have been 81 kilometres in
length, and the height of its crest
about half metre.

Electric Headlights for Locomotives

Numerous experiments have been
made with electric headlights for loco
motives, and the advantages of this
form of lamp seem to be generally con-
coded. In system that has met with
considerable success, steam turbine
Is used to drive a dynamo, both en-
CINE and dynamo being mounted on the
smoke-boX, behind the lantern. The
entire apparatus Is rs inches long, IS
inches high and IS inches wide. The
steam is directed against the rim of
a wheel which has five concentric
buckets. upon which the steam must
impinge before it passes into the ex-
haust chamber. The normal speed is
1900 revolutions per minute, and about
! horsepower is developed. The dyna-
mo produces a current of Is amperes
at 40 volts pressure, which is supplied
to incandescent lamps in the cab, as
well as to the headlight, which con-
sists Of an arc light of about 1000 can
die power. This apparatus has been
used on more than 200 locomotives,
and is growing in popularity.

tnelr livelihood through employments
dependent upon or connected with the
use OF electricity, and compared with
the United states the number OF per-
sons so employed In other countries is

made to give figures showing the ex-
tent OF the use OF electricity.
