Suddenly So Did the Rear
Section.

This morning at $50 O'Clock the
early passengers at the Central rail-
road depot witnessed an unusual pre-
vention of wllat might have been a
serious5accident. A freight train was
passing through the town at lively
clip when the engine stopped sudden
lv, just below Market street, for some
unknown rensoii:
-sss-@ @HHsst before the stop the train Of
cars had broken in two and when the
engine came to u standstill tho people
expected to see the train come togeth-
er, as the rear part was coming down
grade at fearful rats. When within
a foot of the forward cars, the rear
also came to sudden stop. 1t seems
that when the oars broke off tho train,
the air brake failed to work, but
that as the rear cars were Just about
to crash, the brakes went on hard,
stopping the cars.

tival pervaded the entire place. Rowland
was in high spirits and looked very hand
some. He and Vandeleur talked together,
and stood little apart. vandeleur was
just about to make light reply to one
of our hosts questions when we heard
the swish of drapery in the passage out
side and little Antonio, dressed for her
first ball, entered. She was in soft white
lace and her neck and arms were bare.
The effect of her entrance was somewhat
startling and would have arrested atten-
tion even were we not all specially inter-
ested in her. Her face, neck and arms
were nearly as white as her dress, her
dark eyes were much dilated and her soft
black hair surrounded her small face like
shadow. In the midst of the Wilderness
large red cross sparkled on her throat
like living fire. Rowland uttered an ex-
clamation and then stood still; as for
Vandeleur and myself, we held our breath
in suspense. What might not the next
few minutes reveal?
1t was the look on iAntonia's face that
aroused our fears What allied her? She
came forward like one blind or as one who
walks In her sleep. One hand was held out
slightly in advance. as though she meant to
guide herself by the sense of touch She
certainly saw neither vandeleur nor me- but
when she got close to Rowland the blind ex-
preston left her eyes. She gave sudden
and exceedingly bitter cry and ran forward
hnging herself into his arms
kiss me once before We part forever.
Kiss me just once before we part" she
said.

what is the meaning of this2 You are not
well. There, Antonio, cease trembling. Be-
fore we part, my dear? But there is no
thought Of parting Let me look at you,
He held her at arms length and gazed at
her critically.

man mad. What Is it all about? / will
know"
Miss Ripley can tell you or not, as she
pleases, replied Vandeleur. THE unhappy
child was to be black-mafled, Nine Sara's
object being to secure the pearl necklace
worth kings ransom. The cross was to
be given In exchange for the necklace.
That was her aim, but she is defeated. Ask
me no questions, sir If this young lady
chooses to tell you, well and good, but II
not the secret is her own
Vandeleur bowed and backed toward
me.
..The secret is mime cried Antonio. but

tween U.S. You may never speak to me
again. but you shall know all the truth

concerned is finished

He flew upstairs l followed him. We
went from one corridor to another. AT last
we found madame's apartments Her bed
room door stood wide open. Rebecca Curt
was standing III the middle of the room
Madame herself was nowhere to be SEEN
but there was every sign of hurried de-
parture.
Where is Nine Sara?" inquired yand.s-
leur. in peremptory voice.
Rebecca Curt shrugged her shoulders.
Has she gone down? Is she In the ball

The nurse gave another shrug.

He rushed away. l don't know what inn

But notwithstanding her escape and her

Antonia's hour of terror. the ball went on
merrily, and the bride-elect opened 1t with
her future husband. On her fair neck
CLEANED the pearls, lovely in their soft
luster. What she told Rowland was never
known: how he took the news is a secret
between Antonio and himself. But one
thing is certain; no one was more gallant
in his conduct, more ardent in his glance
of love, than was the master of Rowland s
Folly that night. They were married on
the day fixed and Nine. Sara was defeated.

TIBET FIGHT REGRETTED.
Strong Opposition to the Governments
Policy in India.

A cablegram from London says: The
slaughter Of the Tibetans entirely kills such
waning interest as still exists here in the
JapaneseRussian struggles The news OF
the wholesale bloodshed excites, as gen.
eral rule, feeling of depression, first be-
cause the average Englishman scarcely
sees that 1t was necessary, and, second,
because there is general apprehension that
it may lead to complications with Russia
The last thing the British public wants
at the present moment is another war. and
what is most dreaded is a rise in the in
come tax. Hence, the tragic events IN
this period, when the taxpayer is nervously
waiting to see how he will be called on to
pay off the national deficit.
The extreme liberal papers seized on the
blots on the history of England. The Daily
News declares that no more wanton or
discreditable business has been brewed by
our pro-consuls in India since the time OF
Lord Lytton." Other papers of the same
political views describe Colonel Young
husbands mission another Jameson raid
The government organs, While expressing
the regret felt in official circles tnat sucn
an event occurred at this moment, reiter-
ate Lord Transformers assurances to Russia
that Great Britain has no intention or an
nexing Tibet. -
Ths government has done everything in
PLANS in regard to Tibet. Indeed IL the
war between Japan and Russia had come
earlier it is likely that the Tibet expedi-
ton would have been postponed. Thoush

Russian influences in TIBET, TINS Is iol ~

paramount importance OF keeping ciear VI

It is not regarded as likely that serious
intorna tional combinations will follow TINS
affair. but China's action in the mater WI,

minister at Picking is not expected TO Jet

Held Up Harvest Hands.

Valley City Times-Record: Five
men, all masked, carrying full grown
guns and dark lantern, held up and
robbed a number of harvest hands at
the 500 Tuesday night, The men who
were robbed had taken possession of
the empty box cars at the 500 and
most of them were asleep when the
robbers went down the line. The
methods used by the robbers we're
similar in every case. They would en-
ter car and compel the inmates to
line up along one side with their hands
in the air and then q member of the
party would go through them, taking
their money and valuables. AS near
as can be ascertained there were fiif-
teen or twenty men robbed and their
combined losses will be in the neigh
borhood Of 800. One party of four
were armed and the robbers took their
guns. A number Of shots were fred
while the affair was in progress, but
no one was hurt. A west bound
freight train came in about O'Clock
and the robbers made an unsuccessful
attempt to hold up the train crew, but
their effort failed for some cause OF
other They took a dozen shots at
the oaboose as the train pulled out.
