THE REFoRMER BRATTLEBoRo. w. FRIDAY.

terminus one morning when old jim
received a telegram. He opened the
| telegram with steady hand, read the
| message without tremor and then
twisted it up and lighted his pipe with
it. And yet | came to know that the
telegram told him that his wife and
Frazer were clipping together and had
tickets for the day express bound
west. His imperturbability deceived
me, and l did not give the message a
second thought. A man must have
nerves of steel to con message like
that and never blanch. At noon, when
we reached Thomasville, we got orders
to run to Bascomb's and there side
track for the express. We could do it
with three or four minutes to spare.
Bascoms was not even station, but
a siding half n mile long on the prairie.
and we must do our own switching.
For three miles beyond 1t was a
straight track, and then it went curry
ing and turning among the hills and
over a brawling creek. When we had
come within a mile of the siding, |
looked for Jim to begin to slow up, but
he made no move. Half minute and
he even increased the speed, and when
/ shouted in his ear he waved me back.
We passed the siding at a clip of %
miles an hour and gaining on that ev-
cry minute and as | at last grabbed
,Jim's arm he pulled n revolver from
his breast and motioncd for me to
stand back. The man had not gone
crazy, he had not misunderstood his
orders. but what was he doing in thus
passing the siding? In run Of three
or four miles we must meet the eX-
press. For n second | thought of at
lacking him with poker, but lie look
ed over his shoulder at me with n grim
smile and motioned with his head for
me to jump. Then it occurred TO me
that the train had got away from him.

1t was soft prairie for the fall, but it
seemed to me that | turned over and
over 500 times before the breath was
finally knocked out Of my body. When

steam and the shrieks and cries of in
jured men and women, and | had stag
gered along the track less than 4 mile
when | came upon the frighttul wreck.
The engines Of the express ana freight

RHEUMATISM
Caused by Impure Blood How
1t May Be Cured.
From The Mirror, Manchester, ". H.

FROM Hle LhHFOF, 4huHcNtStcFy ~. H.
Rheumatism is caused by the presence
Of acid in the blood and the only cure
is to purify and strengthen this vital
fluid. Mrs. S. d. Loveland, of No. 1873
West Hancock street, Manchester, N.
H, was cured of n severe attack of
this disease by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, the best spe-
cific yet discovered for this purpose.
She says:
"Several years ago one OF my knees
was injured by fall. About the first
of June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that / could not bend
my knee. 1t was very painful and l
was unable to move about. l tried va
rious remedies, but not one of them re-
lieved me in any way.
NEARLY three months after the pain
and stiffness began, a friend, Mrs.
Rothwell, of Everett, Mass, told me Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. 1 gave them trial and expert
enced relief in few days. I continued
until had taken three boxes and was
able to bend the knee and go up and
down stairs without difficulty. have
since taken the pills a number of times
for other troubles and always with
good results.
81 have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times
and two of my relatives and young
woman living in my family were
greatly benefited by their use. feel
that 1 cannot say too much in favor of
the pills."
