DooIln md the Thunderbolt.

p. Doolin was a track-walker on the
Erie railroad. He attended a wake
one day shortly before it was time for
him to go on duty, with the lament
able result that early in the evening he
seemed ambitious to walk on both
sides of the track at once, says Har-
per's Magazine.
The "Thunderbolt" express was due
to pass the Haskell road at S:45. At
that time Doolin reached the road, but
the train did not appear. She was still
invisible at 9, and Doolin began to
worry about her in a maudlin way.
When she was twenty minutes late he
could control his anxiety no longer,
and began walking the track toward
her as fast as he could in his unsteady
condition.
The "Thunderbolt" meantime was
flying along at unusual speed. She
had been delayed by trifling wreck,
and the engineer was making up lost
time. Suddenly lantern whirled like
a giant pinwheel in the gloom far
down tie track. The engineers face
whitened; the brakes ground into the
complaining wheels; the engine rocked
and trembled; passengers lurched in
their seats. and with hiss Of air and
steam the "Thunderbolt" stopped.
Dropping from his cab the trembling
engineer ran up to where p. Doolin
stood.
"What-what's the matter?" he
gasped.
"Ye're late, said Doolin. "Fwhat
kent YeZ2"

The following protest, by Rev. J. II.
Crooker of Buffalo, against the charge
that the attitude of our country among
the nations is that of Isolation" will
be accepted by many OF our readers.
The too sweeping declaration is very
we'll controverted. at seems to me-"
said the preacher, that distinguish
ed American statesman is wrong when
he charges us with isolation. AS a
people we have been very much abroad
in the world, and in the noblest and
most effectual way. Who have trav-
eled so widely or wisely as Americans?
We have sent great numbers of stu
dents to foreign universities. Thou
sands of devoted missionaries have
gone from our shores to distant lands.
We are enriching our life from every
source; we are pouring out our life
and shedding our influence upon every
race and tribe. What greater good
can we do to the world than by these
peaceful services? We should arrest
our own development and diminish our
influence by stepping down from this
pedestal and meddling in the affairs OF
distant nations and assuming charge
of savage hordes."

The volume of business reflected in

year and 26.S per cent larger than in

however, seemed to be alone, and the
wagon from which you did not seem to
have stirred. Then for the first time,
my dear child, we suddenly saw your
danger. Imagine how we felt as that
hideous brute rose up in the road and
began attacking the wagon. We called
on Tenbrook to fire, but for some incon-

still kept running at the top of his speed.

presently brought her some coffee in a
teacup. It was part Of Miss Amy's rap

bilitated condition, that she made no
comment on the vessel. She lay for
some moments looking curiously around
the cabin. She had no doubt it had
worse look in the daylight, but some

luxury of colors in the bark floor and

as she feared it would be. On the con-

always dominant. She remembered that
it was this that always made a greasy,
oily picnic tolerable. She raised herself
on her elbow, seeing which her father
