Other old-timers have tales like this

which keeps the frightened animals
between the rails. IL think It's n sort
of hypnotism caused by the combinu-
ton Of fright, the straight level of the
track and the cleaning lines of the

FLEEING FROM TRAINS.
Why Frightened Animals Almost In
Variably Keep Between the Rails.

Why Frightened Animals Almost In
Variably Keep Between the Rails.
Railroad men at Rochester, N y,
are still talking about the race for
life on a recent Sunday morning be-
tween horse and freight train
across the long bridge which spans the
Genesee River at Charlotte. The bridge
is nearly half a mile long, and the ties
are open, leaving six-inch spaces, be-
meath which CLEANS the slow moving
river, but the horse galloped straight
across this nerve-racking path few
yards in front Of the locomotive, and
only sank down when exhausted by
fright and its efforts for safety. The
train was halted within ten yards of
the poor creature. The horse was
found to be uninjured, but every shoe
was torn from its foot. Another horse
which had started with 1t fell and was
cut to pieces.
What interests the railroad men In
the case, besides the battle against
such odds, is that it furnishes another
proof Of pet theory of theirs con
corning the actions Of animals caught
on the tracks by fast speeding trains.
Engineers and iremen have formu-
lated a theory which, they declare, has
been so often proved that it might be
called a law 1t is this: They declare
that any four-foOted animal, be it a
cat, fox, dog, squirrel, cow or horse,
which is surprised by a rapidly ap-
preaching locomotive, win seek safety
In straight fight between the rails,
when it could save its life by sim
pie leap to one side.

veteran engineer, land they Invariably
keep to the center of the track until
run down. Sometimes at the very last
moment they will leap to one side, but
not often. Cats, which are pretty
shrewd, In spite Of assertions 10 the
contrary, will fee between the rails
In Just the same way. Once, when |

way freight between fast trains |

A Considerate Judge.

Rarely does a judge show hesitancy
In the court room, or disposition to
change his mind when he has once
publicly expressed 1t; but an account
of refreshing exception is furnished
by Sir Henry Hawkins, Lord Bramp-
ton, the eminent English justice, In a
recent book of "reminiscences.
Baron Martin, whose native leniency
and sense of fun often placed him ut
the mercy of the very men he was try
ing, was once about to sentence an
old offender, charged with a petty
theft
Look" said the baron. with an as
sumption of severity, II hardly know
what to do, but you can TAX six
months"
Il can't take that, my lord; it's too
much" said the prisoner, respect
fully but firmly. Il can't take it.
Your lordship sees 1 didn't steal very
much, after all"
The baron INDUCED in one of his
low, chuckling laughs before replying.
"Well, that's vera true; We didn't
steal much" he said. "Well, then.
We can TAX four months. VIII that
do-four months?"
NAY, my lord but I can't take that,
neither" said the witness, patiently.
Then TAX three"
That's nearer the mark, my lord, /"
the prisoner said, approvingly. But
I'd rather you made 1t two, If you will
be 30 kind"
"Vera well, then, TAX two" said
the judge, with the air of one who Is
pleased to have done the right thing
at last. and, mind, don't come again:

In NADIA Livingston, Stuart found
all the qualities which he deemed de-
sirable in the woman who should be-
come his wife, and NADIA, after brief
but by no means ardent courtship, he
married.
Just why she married him she could
not have told herself. Certainly it was
not altogether a marriage of conven-
fence on either side. Just as certainly
there was little romance In the feel
ings of either.
Miss Livingstone was a beauty of
several seasons experience, and the
worldly advantages which marriage
with Clayton Stuart would offer could
not help but have their weight with

She possessed a fortune in her own
right, and perhaps the consideration
that Stuart, alone of all her many
suitors, was wealthy enough to avoid
all suspicion of being fortune hunt
er, had more than its due weight.
On his part, the considerations were
that Miss Livingstone was the sort Of
woman whom he most admired and
pre-eminently the woman to best adorn
the head of his table and maintain
the social position of his family. Some
what cold and reserved in her man
ner, he deemed this an addition to
her many other good qualities.

happiness In married life, and from the

WORK DONE ON
STANFORD MYSTERY
THE HIGH SHERIFF THINKS TT
CERTAIN POISON WAS NOT IN
TRODUCED INTO SODA HERE.

High Sheriff Henry stated this morn
ing that he felt satisfied that the poison
IN the Stanford bicarbonate Of soda
bottle had not been put into the bottle
IN Honolulu. In fact the sheriff said
that he practically knew It. The in
vestigatlons Of the local police had, the
sheriff stated, traced the deadly bottle
from the time that It was packed into
the medicine basket in San Francisco
up TO the time that the deadly dose was
taken from the bottle for Mrs. Stanford
on the night Of February 49, Nobody
had used the bottle the sheriff stated.
The local police can scarcely thus
pass the possibility Of responsibility up
to the mainland authorities. There was
plenty OF opportunity for Ne poison
to have been put into the medicine In
Honolulu. For a number Of days af-
ter Mrs. Stanford arrived IN Honolulu
she, Miss Berner and Miss Hunt, the
maid were absent from the Moana
hotel hours at a time. on one day the
party drove to Tantalus taking practi-
cally the entire day and on the day OF
the tragedy Mrs. Stanford and her
attendants were absent from 10 o'clock
IN the morning until 4 o'clock IN the
afternoon. That bottle Of bicarbonate
Of soda was not under lock and key
during any Of that time.
The bottle was kept IN the medicine
basket inside OF the telescope basket
I'm Mrs. Stanfords room. Had any
conspirator followed Mrs. Stanford 10
Honolulu for the purpose Of poisoning
her, access to that bottle Of bicarbo-
nate OF soda could easily have been
effected by securing entrance TO Mrs.
Stanford'B room at the hotel II IL
true that the door was IN all probable
lty locked, but the locks on the doors
at the hotel are not OF a complicated
character and a skeleton key would In
all likelihood, have given entrance TO
the room. once inside the consDlrator
could easily have found the basket II
sat out on the floor by Mrs. Stanford's
trunks, and the poison could have been
dropped into the bottle.
Entrance might even have been se-
cured through the windows. The High
Sheriff states that he examined the
windows carefully and that entrance
could not have been secured from the
outside. Mrs. stanford was IN the
habit Of keeping the windows raised
the mosquito screens fastened. Those
screens are fastened with hooks. So
far as Is known now nobody appears
TO have Investigated on Tuesday night
when Mrs Stanford died, whether those
hooks were secured or not, An inyes-
tlgatlon IN the morning disclosed the
fact however that none OF those mos
quito windows had apparently been
opened.
The theory Of the local police that
the poison was not put INTO the BIZ
carbonate Of soda bottle In Honolulu
may or It may not be correct but 30 fal
AZ any definite Investigations on THU
matter rs concerned, there was time
enough during Mrs, Stanford's absence
from her room at the hotel, TO have
put pounds Of strychnine into the place
There was even better opportunity for
daring conspirator to have put the
