A ROMANCE
OF THE RAIL.
By FREDERICK REDDALL.

SEVENTH DAY.
CHESTER IVES AT WORK.
The situation was an uncanny one.
Chester had no matches and would not
have dared to strike light In the
other event The dense darkness, the
rushing waters. the utter sense Of iso-
lation, the foreboding fear that any
moment might plunge him into a
chasm which would prove nameless
tomb-these tangible and intangible
fears and dangers might have quailed
the heart of the stoutest frontiersman,
much less. Of an inexperienced tender
foot. well enough versed in the wiles
of Wall street. but q yeritable tyro to
the dangers of the Colorado desert.
However, the stuff Of which brave
men are made does not vary much the
world over. and Ives was buoyed up
with the hope and belief that on him
rested the safety of the whole party,
including that Of the girl he loved. II
he saved her from this peril. she would
belong to him In dual sense.
For the space Of perhaps 20 minutes
he tolled painfully up the bed Of the
stream. he was soaked from head to
foot, and his garments, heavy and sod
den with the water. impeded his prog
ress and held him back. Even as he
floundered along he thought grimly Of
what q capital story the adventure
would make for the sensational press
Of the metropolis and how the natty
habitues Of the cafes Of Wall and
Broad streets would shout with merri-
ment could they behold him In his
present drowned out predicament
Suddenly his head came In hard con-
tact with the rocky roof, which proved
that the orifice was becoming narrow
er, forcing him to flatten himself out
until lis chin was nearly touching the
water, and in this fashion he wriggled
for perhaps dozen yards farther.
Then, resting for moment and raising
his eyes, he beheld through the dense
g,oom, but right ahead. a cluster Of
tiny twinkling lights.
A moments reflection satisfied him
that they must be stars and that he
had at last reached the open air. A
few feet more, and he emerged through
a crevice In the rocks on a little beach
of pebbles and water worn rocks, at
the margin of which he could dimly dis
Germ the surface Of a considerable
stream, whose placid bosom reflected
the glorious armament overhead. New
er was the sight of the canopy Of heav-
en- more welcome.
Though he did not know it then, he
was on the west bank of the La Fon-
taine, or Fountain, river, which fed the

this was reduced to 5s.20s in 1877. The
present membership is about 10000.

The standard lines in this territory are
sending a circular to their connections, the
smaller roads. informing them that they
do not propose to participate in any tariffs
which are not authorized. and that If any
road issues such a tariff IL does so with
the understanding that the standard roads
will demand their full proportions, accord
ing to the authorized rates. Such lines,
says an exchange, take this as a warning,
with its claws sheathed. All of these
roads put up their moral umbrellas and
allow the suspicion of having issued I'M
authorized tariffs to fall on the other small
roads. Notwithstanding this fact, it Is said
that the circular was not issued upon a
supposition, but that the facts are that
several roads have been dealing In reduced
rates OF late and have asked the larger
roads to stand with them.
The circular of the standard roads makes
no direct assertions concerning any of the
smaller roads, but ii is said that a number
of the lesser lines. which are not con-
trolled by larger ones. have been making
inroads on the rates. While the officers of
such roads stoutly deny that they nave cut
the rates. they make sneering remarks
about the larger ones, saying it is well
enough for them to pirate about self-right-
eousneSs on rate maintenance, after they
have covered a good part of the seasons
business on contracts at a ridiculously
low figure. having in mind in this state
ment the grain contracts which are said TO
have been made at less than 10 cents.

Other CANNES They Were
Killed by Jesse Duckum.

Two mad dogs caused much excitement
at Irvington yesterday, and as the word
spread over tow that the vicious animals
were at large. everybody who had children
playing in their yards or or the lawns,
called them in and placed them safely be-
hind closed doors. The dogs went here and
there, swapping. biting and snarling and
claiming the right of way in whatever di-
rection they started.
An effort was made TO kill the brutes,
but they evaded their pursuers until eight
or ten other dogs had been bitten. The
chase continued until Jesse Duckum finally
had a chance to try his craftsmanship and
killed both of them.
