GREATLY FRIGHTENED.
A Young Lady's Experience In . Roll
way Car.


way Car.
A young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had very
uncomfortable adventure. She reached
the station just as the train was start
ing. and had only time to jump into the
first compartment, where she dropped
upon n seat. Not until the train was in
motion did she notice that she had a
single fellow-passenger, a man, young.
bidding aspect.
The young lady unfolded a newspa-
per and began to read, but as the first
station was passed she CHANGED to
glance again toward the other end OF
the carriage. The man was there, but
his face was no longer serene. He ap-
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 overcost
pocket. Was he feeling for knife. or
a revolverP Springing to her feet, the
frightened traveller faced him In de-
spair.
"What do you mean 2" she cried, half
faintine with fear.
He bent toward her. smiled grimly
and said:
Excuse me, madam. offer you ten
thousand apologies IL I have alarmed
you. Such a thing was farthest from
my thoughts, but the fact is, have to
alight at the next station, and since you
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 a soft
one.-Youth's Companion.

more as quite privileged and friendly
dependent. Indeed, il was remarkable
how wen he bore these Sights, and with
what unwearying politeness he kept
at try ing TO ingratiate himself with all.
Yet, ! think, none treated him better
than a dog; unless it was Ben Gum,

though for that matter, 1 suppose, i
had reason TO think even worse of him
than anybody else, for had seen him
meditating fresh treachery upon the
plateau. Accordingly, it was pretty
gruffly that the doctor answered him.

"and precious little odds which. to You
and me-"
II suppose you would hardly ask me
to call you a humane man." returned
the doctor, with a snecr, "and SO my
feelings may surprise you, Master Sill

ing-as I am morally certain one, at
least, of them is down with fever-I
should leave this camp, and, at what
ever risk to my own carcass, take them

ASK your pardon, sir, you would be
very wrong" quoth Silver. You would
lose your precious life, and you may
lay TO that. I'm on your side now. hand

self, seeing as know what owes you.
But these men down there, they
couldn't keep their word-no, not sup

they couldn't believe as you could"
NO." said the doctor. You're the
man to keep your word, we know that"
Well, that was about the last news we
had of the three pirates. Only once we
| heard a gunshot q great way of, and
supposed them to be hunting. A coun-
ell was held, and 1t was decided that we
must desert them on the island-to the
huge glee, / must say, of Ben Gum.
and with the strong approval Of Gray.
We left a good stock Of powder and
shot, the bulk Of the salt goat, q few
medicines and some other necessaries,
tools, clothing, a spare sail, fathom or
two Of rope, and, by the particular de-
sire Of the doctor, a 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 colops 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 q 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
been Q cruel sort Of kindness. The

long time, everything considered
A man or woman may live along Tor
years with incompetent kidneys only to
collapse as suddenly as house OF

disease are sometimes very s1ght-
headaches, duh pains, depressed reel
ings, lack of energy-all these indicate
the first stages of Bright's disease and
yet few people think they mean any
thing serious until, often, it is too late.
There has never been but one dis

disease in its beginning or curing it af-

which is so popular in Europe, America
