"You bet. He only hit the high

And d'y' remember how scared he
looked?"
Scared, He looked like he'd been
dead fer Il week."
Most of the passengers were awake by
this time and laughing. The man with
the bowed head only shrank down into
his shoulders and clinched his hands
what did they do to him?" The con-
ductor took up his lamp TO go. and the
soldiers rose to follow. They also would
look after the progress of the work. The
slim soldier answered. "Oh. nothin." he
said. ''.Jes' let him go. I reckon he's still

tones. Many opened windows to look

The train moved on slowly through the
deep woods. The warm summer air came
in and the smell of wet trees. Those

THE MAN WHO RAN
AT SAN JUAN.

| The night express came to a full stop
There was a prolonged sound of escaping
| steam, then silence. Even the rain that
had been dashing against the panes for
| the last hundred miles so had ceased
In the day coach one or two passengers
! who were awake looked out and found
| deep, black woods that looked straight up
| to where few stars were showing. The
drowning rain that had continued here
| for week or more was at an eud. Pres
emily the moon appeared.
The fresh air in the coach awakened
others. A few began to talk in low
voices. as if fearing to disturb the sleep
ers who breathed heavily about them.
Some one began peeIng an orange. and
the pungent. sweet odor filled the coach.
A baby woke up and cried grievingly.
Half way down the coach man in a
seat by himself leaned forward against
the next seat, his head in his arms. A
few seats ahead of him sat two men in
soldier dress. These had awakened and
were talking. One, who was slim and
rather dark. said slecpily:
What d'y' spose they're stoppin for,
Bill. anyway?'
The other, a stouter, light haired man,
yawned:
Dunno: washout likely
The conductor. entering just then with
a lantern. confirmed this opinion. 4

would require an hour to repair it, He
fingered moment to talk with the sol
diers. Il suppose you fellows arc anX
iouS to get home now" he said.
The slim. dark man nodded. The stout
soldier laughed.
''Of course" he said. "Bnt we can
take time. When a fellows been up
San Juan hill and come out alive. he
can afford to wait little fer other
things"
Behind them the man leaning forward
In his arms started. Perhaps he was Just
waking Other passengers awoke, too,
and sat up to listen. The conductor was
Interested. $50 you were at San Juan?'
he said. Pretty hot there. wasn't it:'
Hot enough fer me- This from the
slim man.
"How did it feel. anyway. to have the
bullets coming right at You? Didn't You
feel like You wanted to get ont a there"
The man behind moved uneasily in his
arms No doubt he wanted to sleep and
was not interested. The stout soldier
laughed again as he answered:
"Ic're mighty right, If I'd ever got
turned around. I'd been runnin YETI
Several people in the coach laughed
softly. The man with his head in his
arms uttered something like a smothercd
groan. Why didn't they let him sleep?
Did anybody run?" asked the con
ductOr.
The slim soldier opened his lips to re-
ply. but laughed instead. His comradn
laughed too.
Did anybody rum he echoed at last.
"Well we didn't see but one, but he run
fast enough fer the whole regiment"
Then they laughed again. and others who
were awake joined them: all but the man
leaning forward with his head in his
arms. He only writhed uneasily and
groaned one tortured. But no one

1 never cared much for you in my life

The man who stood outside the window
had bowed his head. More than one

the sunlight fell upon it: his face was

lately; my heart, perhaps, the old
happy feeling. and there's nothing left
but the lonesomeneSS and the ache.
A sigh that was almost a groan came
from her listener, but he made no at

Il used to think there never were two
people any better suited to live together
than we were" For the first time her
voice trembled. ''We're both plucky and

'Oh. well. it doesn't make any differ

both to the wishing and the worrying"
She had dried her wet fingers upon her
apron and stood erect with tightly folded
arms. You've let duty and what you
were foolish enough to call disgrace
stand between us like a great iron fence.

THE AGITATION of the League of
American Wheelmen to have con-
victs used in building public roads
is slowly making headway. On this
subject the New York Post recently
contained the following; THE League

ports favorably on the experiment of
employing conVicts on road-making.
Under the direction of the board of
supervisors, and the superintendence
Of trained engineer, the county pris-
Oners have constructed macadam
road, one and thTce-tenths miles long
through the village of New York Mills,
near Utica. The county authorities
made contract with the road district,
whereby it was to furnish laborers at
twenty-five cents a day, and allow rhe
use Of its stone-crusher, steam-roller,
etc, free of charge The road district
furnished the necessary fuel and ma
terial, and paid for supervision. The
cost Of the road was about $5,S75, or
S4,5OO a mile and the total cost was
only three times the amount of the
annual road tax. AS it win cost only
$3.50 a year To keep the new road in
repair the annual savins, will amount
TO about 81 S5G, and after the cost has
been repaid the taxpayers will be re-

While this road was building the state
authorizes were constructing a SINH
