The freshman thinks he is a god,
And even seniors oft are awed
When he throws out his giant chest

He RACES like a wolf at bay.

phere that enveloped him. Then, as be
dropped his eyes. he caught sight OF
something that gave him sudden hope
OF escape. Over the granite hung the
end Of his relns, where they had fallen
when he grasped unavallngly at the
whip-stock. Might he not take firm
hold OF these, start his horses. and thus
be hOlsted out Of that fiery pit?
Barely had the idea suggested itself
to. him when the wind changed again,
the smoke blew back. and once more
shrouded him in its pltchy clouds.
Sanders brain was swimming
Strength and consciousness could not
endure more than twenty seconds
longer. His shoes were burning on his
feet. His skin was shrlveling and
cracking.
With closed eyes ne swayed forward,
felt about until he found the loop of
the reins and hooked his fingers round
them. 1t would NOT do for him to bear
his whole weight upon them, for they
might break and let him fall back, thus
destroying his only chance. Even in
his extremity he thought Of that.
There was no time 10 waste. How
should he start his horses? He tried
to shout to them. but so cracked and
feeble was his voice that they did not
recognize ii and refused TO move. He
must Try something else. Already ten
Of his precious seconds were gone.
Sanders stopped. picked up a frag-
ment of rock and launched It at ram
dom through the smoke, in tho dircc-
tlon Of old white Billy. the Off leader
of the team. Fortunately it struck the
horse fairly on his flank, rousing him
suddenly from his reyerle. Billy
started forward and the others fol-
lowed his lead, There was a heavy
stamping Of hoofs. a creaking OF un-
oiled aXleS The team was in motion
The moment the driver flung the rock
lac seized the reins strongly again with
both hands. Barely had he done so
when the loop frightened with a quick
jerk. 1t was the second he had been
waiting for, the one on which his life
depended. Without loosing his hold he
sprang up. sticking the tips Of his toes
into the interstices between the blocks
Of granite. The force Of the pull
hurled him against the wall, but he
clung TO the leathern straps with des-
perate energy.
Had the reins given way all would
have been lost. But they were new and
strong, purchased the day before to
replace an old pair, and they did not
break. In a moment Sanders was
dragged up and out Of the kiln, across
the granite edge. and along the planks
Of the staging, narrowly escaping be-
ing run over by the broad tired wheels.
Less than a minute and a half had
elapsed since the drivers feet first
struck the bottom of the pit hut it
would be hard 10 imagine q more fear
full ninety seconds than that through
which he had passed. As he looked
back upon it afterward it seemed TO
him like brief but horrible nightmare.

Record Run of a Locomotive.

In this country the general method is
to run locomotive for limited num-
ber Of years, and then TO relegate ii to
the scrap heap In favor Of a more mod
ern type Of engine. On the other side,
however, the practice is to retain To-
cOmotive in service as long as 1t will
run, irrespective of the developments
and improvements that may be incor-
porated in the progress Of time. The
result is that upon the English rail-
roads may be seen engines still in hard
use which We should consider long past
their term Of service. Yet no English
engine has attained the unique dlstinc-
ton achieved by the locomotive No.

smoke and heat.
Underneath, in the body Of the Kiln,

packing in the casks, 10 the fragments

this mass, through which the arches

''If man ever falls into one Of those

marked, and no one who had seen the
smoking pits In full blast would be

II was Monday morning and the rock
in the kiln had settled a considerably
distance. The top was something over
twelve feet in diameter From this
point the body Of the furnace gradually
contracted. until Just above the arches
it measured barely eight feet across.

TO TRAVEL FORTY MILES
IN TWENTY-FOUR MINUTES
Proposes Fast Monorail Transit Be-
tween Washington and Bal
. fisnOre

1t is stated in railroad circles here
that vast sums of Astor money" are
going into the building and operating
of the Tunis monorail railway and the
assertion is made that within a year
trains will be running between Balti-
more and Washington, covering the
forty intervening miles in twenty-four
minutes, or at the rate of 100 miles an
hour.
1t is said that j. Coleman Drayton,
who heads a party of New York capi-
talists, has closed the deal with How
ard H. Tunis of Baltimore, the inventor
of the system. Mr.. Drayton said the
Astor family have taken lively in
terest in the monorail system for years.
It is claimed that the system can be
constructed for $4,000 per mile and
operated at one-half the expense that
present railroad systems have to meet.
Mr.. Drayton Is reported to have
stated that the right of way between
Baltimore and Washington had been
secured and that the work of grading
would soon be started. The cars are to
be run on a single rail fastened to ties
instead of being suspended from an
overhead structure, similar to the sys-
TENS in operation in some parts of
Europe. 1t is stated that the cars will
be so nicely balanced that the whole
weight of the train, even when round
ing curves, would not be ten pounds
