ped and the detached ends made kind
ling wood of that side of the cab in the
twinkllng of AN eye. The fireman hap.
pened to be in the gangway shoveling
coal and escaped injury. The en-
gineer applied the air and sprang from
his seat at the first intimation that
something had gone wrong and he had
scarcely left his seat when the other
other rod broke and demolished his
side of the cab also. Both the engine
men escaped without a scratch but it
was only by the best of luck that they
did. Before the engine came to stop
the flying rods had demolished some OF
the steampipes and one of the drivers
threw tire. The engine was clearly
out of it and Milaca was telegraphed
for an engine. The locomotive of the
jerky was in the village and was sent
out to pull the train to its destination.

THINKS HE Is DEAD.
Relatives of the Boy Alleged to Have
Been Burned Are Certain of 1t.


Been Burned Are Certain of 1t.
The youthful adopted son of William
Haesecke, the Duelm farmer whose
house burned during his absence ten
days ago, has not yet appeared, and
the neighbors and those interested are
becoming more firmly convinced that
the boy met his fate IN the burning
building. He was in charge of the
house when it was consumed and at
first it was thought that he had be-
come frightened and run away. His
continued absence and the fact that no
trace of him has been found give the
people about Duelm every excuse for
accepting any evidence, however slight,
that he persisted in the flames. Yes
terday it was reported here that what
is thought to be piece of an arm but
so, burned and blackened as to be un-
recognizable has been found in the
ashes of the house. It seems almost
impossible however that the body of a
boy could be so entirely consumed by
so small a fire as to leave no trace of
it whatever. But the family has be-
come reconciled to the thought that
the lad is dead. The natural father of
the boy is said to live in ST. Cloud

him on the steps.
It's mutiny, sir!" was the angry re-
ply. ''Wait till get my pistol, and I'll
soon settle it,"
The captain looked about him in sur
prise. Tom stood alone on the quarter
deck, and the whole matter was mex
plicable unless the new mate was crazy,
a thought which found ample justifica-
ton in his disordered appearance.
"Mutiny?" he repeated, contemptu-

CHAPTER IT.
TOM MEETS AN OLD ENEMY

IOM AN OlSL' L.
When Tom Scott awoke the following
morning his side was stiff and sore, but
by the time he had dressed and made
his way downstairs he had almost for
gotten the wound in the realization of
the fact that the way had been miracu-
lousy opened for him to reach the gold
region.
He found the old miner waiting for
him in the smoking-room, and as he
entered the latter arose and greeted
him heartily, saying:
Good morning, Scott. How is the
side to-day? Pretty sore, isn't it? My
headpiece is rather tender, too, from
the clip ! got but they'll both have
time to heal before the voyage is over.
Come on, let's get n good square meal
and then we'll go down to the vessel.
] hope she'll be ready TO sail to-day.
All my stuff's been on board for a
week now You'll want few buds, too,
] dare say. for the trip"
After a hearty meal the two men pro-
ceeded TO the wharf. and as they
reached the scene of the previous
| nights struggle the elder man said.
quietly:
I'll never forget this place as long
as ] live. II those rascals had only
dreamed what ] carried with me they'd
have finished their bloody work and I'd
have been down there"
AS he spoke he pointed significantly
toward the icy water in the dock and
then added:
| THE money was nothing, but"
! He broke off suddenly and led the
way in silence until they reached the
vessel. where the captain, a grizzled old
salt. was pacing the deck and urging
the stevedores to greater efforts.
| The Seabird was trim built craft of
about GOO tons. The cook was flying
about the deck in his white apron, the
| second mate was hard at work below
and as the two men stepped on board
the captain said, cheerily:
Good morning, Mr.. Avery. We're
about ready. you see. The wind is fair,
and If nothing happens Wen be under
way by dinner time. The mate has
gone back on me and I've sent after
another man."
In u few words the miner informed
the old seadog of his adventure the pre-
eeding evening. adding:
| This is Mr.. Thomas Scott, who saved
my life. If it hadn't been for him you'd
have sailed without me, and now you We
got TO take him too. He'll pay the same
as do. and share my stateroom. Is it
a bargain?"
Hes welcome" was the curt reply,
"as long as he's to bunk in with YOU.
I've no other spare berth"
