FRIGHTENED BY CIRCUS LION.

An Old Railroad Engineer In the West

Dan Bechtel, of Brookield, tells a
story about a night ride he once took
with a loose lion. which. as he says,
tends to make the ~gooseflesh creep
a little" Bechtel for fourteen years
was an engineer on the Hannibal &
st. Joseph railroad. One night in 1883
he left Macon for Sbelbina, his engine
pulling the Wallace shows. 1t was
very dark. and he had orders not to

would happen If some of the wild ami
mails should get loose, when he looked
up and saw an old lion on top of the
cars, moving slowly and gingerly to-
ward the engine.
when the brakeman and fireman
realized what was coming" says Bech-
tel, they made a dive for the cab
door. and were soon riding on the
front OF the engine. The firebox was
open and that kept him back, as he

Pratt quickly retreated.
THE trainer soon came and took
the big fellow to his cage. He had
found q loose bar, which he worked
out. With the fireman and brakeman
on the front end and the show people
and Conductor Pratt on the rear end,
it seemed as If the lion was getting

whom she did not notice. She cast
her eyes straight before her and fled
from the gratuitous insult. Securing
a carriage she was driven rapidly to
the depot. An instant later two men
clad in evening dress flung themselves
into another carriage and started at
a breakneck gait also for the depot.
But it proved a case Of the greater
the haste the less to the speed, for
in the reckless driving the carriage
collided with an omnibus and when
the two passengers recovered con
seriousness the train had been gone
for many minutes.
That Is why the Maynards in their
Western home received the incoherent
but alarming message from their
daughter that she had been cruelty de-
ceived and was on her way home;
which was followed quickly by an
equally incoherent and mystifying wire
from Tom:
"Am on the next train following
Laura with my brother and his wife.
All a terrible mistake. Case of mis-.
taken identity. Brother is my twin
and looks just like me. Make Laura
wait and listen to reason before TAX
Ing any STEP"
The upshot of 1t all was that the
two bridal couples spent their. honey.
moons in the West instead of the East,
and as an incident thereto Tom was
compelled to shave his entire beard
and to promise never to wea one
again, while Jack was compelled to
enter an equally solemn promise to
mis- bride never to shave his beard.

into her hand at parting and from
which she had thus far had nc oppor-

rang for a bell boy and ascertained
the time Of the first train for the West.
1t was not until 9 o'clock. She then
resolved to appear at dinner and
show him that she was as Indifferent
as he. She dressed deliberately after
packing q hand sachel and appeared at
the dinner table more radiant than
ever. She seated herself at the old
place and glanced around to see il he
had the audacity to appear. Yes. sure
enough. there he was but two tables
away still leaning adoringly over that
terrible woman with the dusky olive
skin and brilliant eyes. 1t was evil
dence Of her GOODNESS that she de-
liberately regarded his clothing and
observed all the little characteristics
she had learned to belong to him.
Once during the meal he glanced to-
ward her, regarding her with cold po-
likeness. She noted that he continu-
ally glanced about the room - though
watching for somebody.
In the meantime Tom had made the
excuse Of the afternoon cigar in or
der to get away and meet his brother
and new sister-in-law at the train and
arrange for a proper denouement. At
the depot he learned that the train
upon which they we're coming had
been detained by a wreck. A train
was going in that direction and would
meet it at q station about an hours
ride distant, the station agent assured
aim. So he decided to ride out and
meet them and ride back with them.
1t would be much more pleasant than
waiting about the depot.
But alas for human plans, the wreck
was cleared much sooner than ex-
pected and when Tom arrived at the
station where he expected to meet It
he learned to his chagrin that It had
already passed and the more alarm
ing news that there was not another
train his way for two hours. He

GLASS YOU CANNOT BREAK

May Be Nodded Into Any Form and

Louis Kauffeld, q European glass.
worker, makes extraordinary claims
for a new kind Of glass he has Just dis.
covered. It is a glass Of such nature
that will not break, that can be mold
ed into any desired form. that can be
hammered without catastrophe-in
short. q glass that will be as mallea-
BILE as lead or any other metal. With
an ordinary goblet made of his new
material he can hammer 4 nail into .
tough board. He cal bore a hole in
a glass pane, and then patch It with
another piece Of the same kind Of
glass. Coffee pots and tea kettles can
be made OF the new substance. and
will no more crack. even under the
most intense heat, than would steel.
While Kaufeld's process ID un-
known to anybody except himself he
recently volunteered the information
that the lime and lead that are used
In the manufacture Of ordinary glass
do not enter into the composition OF
this. "The secret lies" he said, 'In

ing this glass and tho proportions In
which these chemicals are put into it.
