The sun was descending an un-

Nn took his way towards the beach.
Ae could not shake OF the impression
hs mothers words had made upon
hin, John DO not 80 out in your
boat to-day. I nave a presentiment
that something terrible is going to
happen"
John was the only child Of Frank
aud Mary Preston, aged about fif-
len years. He was generally hu-
mored in all his whims and fancles
and usually devoted most of his time
Q fishing and sailing. On this day,
however, his mother had pleaded

The boat. having scarcely any head
way, the helm was useless, and John
discovered that she was drifting to
the eastward, evidently r current was
setting in that direction From the
its white-washed walls cleaning
brightly through the dark follsged
trees that surrounded it. Extending
about thousand yards in front, the
golden sands sparkled in the darkeh-
cd rays of the setting sun, then
merged into a beach of pebbles, upon
which the ocean beat in anger or
peace according to the caprice of the
elements. About half a mile Town
the beach to the eastward, line Of
rock rose tier upon tier until they
formed a solid wall or bluff forty
feet high, which formed the coast

was designated as Rocky Head" A
line of smaller rocks protruded their
jagged heads from the water az the
base Of the cliff, upon which the bill

Scarcely moving through the water,
John had fallen into a DOING condi-
ton; when the harsh cry of a sea
bird flying overhead startled him In
to consciousness. The sun was dis
appearing below the horizon, and
night was stealthily creeping over

efforts were fruitless, and 70 add to
his isComforture the rudder became
unshipped by the force Of the seas
which broke over her, and she
plunge6l helplessly in the trough of
the heaving waters.
With a broken oar which was ly-
ing in the bottom of the boat the
youth dexterously cOntrived to keep
her before the wind, for well he knew
that should she turn broadside on,
nothing in the world could save her
from going over and he himself
from a watery grave. Although a
strong swimmer. John knew that the
chances were against him If thrown
into the waves that were curling
their angry crests around him. Hold
ing the steering oar with one hand
he bravely tried to reship the rudder,
but the rolling and pitching of the
boat made the feat impossible and he
was compelled to abandon the at
tempt; in a few minutes it was torn
from it's fastenings and floated eway
astern.
He now realized that the waves
which were continually breaking
over him were about to overwhelm
the little craft, and unless he could
discharge some Of the water he had
taken aboard, she, could live but a
few minutes longer. He was about
to try bailing with his free hand,
when he heard the roar and crash Of
waters ahead of him., peering
through the gloom and flying spray
he saw towering above him the terri
bic outlines of Rocky Head" at
this moment a mountainous sea
struck the boat, tearing the oar from
the boys hand. Quickly she rounded
her .broadsi0Ie to the advancing waters
and bowling gale, onward swept a
dark broken wave, angrily it curled
over the helpless boat; moment she
b feasted the mighty food, then over
she went. John struggled manfully
to keep his head above the water,
another monster wave followed close
Iy upon the other, picked him up and
flung him bruised and almost uncon-
scicus upon one of tie lower rocks,

while the boat was dashed to pieces
against the solid wall.
John had senses enough Temaintn
to grasp the rock with both hands
and after recovering his breath sue
ceeded in crawling to the highest
point available, but the towering
waves continued to pour over him,
bruising his body pitilessly and al
most forcing his hold upon the friend
ly rock. He realized that unless as
sistance came soon he would be torn
from his refuge, as his strength was
well night exhausted.
Scarcely expecting his CRY OF dis
tress to be heard. he shouted Help!
Help" but no reply came to his
straining ears. Again he cried bit
still no answer; slowly his strength
was waning, the repeated Onsl&ughts
of the mighty billOws. threatened each
moment to hurl him from the rock;
his thoughts became confused, too
surely he felt his grasp upon the rock
relaxing. another moment and he
would be engulfed in the boiling
waves.
Hark! a familiar SOUND reaches his
ears, mingling strangely with the
crash of waters. Can It be the sound
of his mothers voice calling to him?
No, his ears deceive him, or is this
but a hideous dream? Yet no, the
thunder of an advancing wave warns
him of hs peril Again the cry

Looking upward through the binding
ing spray he perceived his mother
standing upon the top Of the cliff.
From her hand dangled a rope, which
she was lowering TO him; when she
had contrived to land the emu Of the
rope upon the rock, she shouted to
her son to seize it, but he was pain
fully aware that to release his hold
upon the rock with one hald in his
weakened condition meant instant de-
gtruct!on and he shook his head help

SUING WESTERN UNION
A MESSAGE WAS DELAYED
Willis Mclaughlin, of New Castle,
Who Was Unable to Attend Double
Funeral of His Foster Parents,
Asks for $4,000 Damages.
Palladium Special.

New Castle, Ind, April 15.-Suit
for $4,000 damages has been filed in
circuit court against the Western In
TO-. Telegraph company by Willis Nc
Laughlin, who seeks to recover that
amount for the failure of the COM
pany to deliver a death message to
him in this city. Mclaughlin claims
that by reason of the failure of the
company he was unable to attend the
double funeral of his foster parents.
He alleges that the telegram was
filed in the office of the telegraph
company at Muncie at 5:23 o'clock on
the afternoon of March 20, but was
not delivered to him until four days
later
The telegram was sent by Warren
Wolcott and stated that Enos and
Melvina Hutscn were dead at their
home in Gilman and summoned him
to attend the funeral. He charges that
the company was neglectful in that
it did not take any pains to locate him
by inquiring at the postoffice or other
place.

LUCKY ACCIDENT
ON PAN HANDLE
Freight Car Was DeraiIed Sat-
urday Night, But Rest of
Train Unframed.
TRACK BADLY TORN UP
WRECK OCCURRED THREE
MILES NORTHWEST OF CITY
ON THE RICHMOND DIVISION
A JOURNAL BROKE.

Employees of the Richmond Divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania say that one
of the luckiest wrecks" ever known
was that about three miles northwest
of the city on Saturday morning,
when the journal on a fast freight
train broke and threw the car around
on the rails but did not derail any
others.
The accident happened about eight
o'clock when the train was hurrying
to get into the Richmond yards. The
track at the point where the journal
broke is straight and level and the
engineer was pulling his string of
loaded cars at a rate of thirty miles
an hour. The defective car was near
the middle of the train, and without
a moments warning, it commenced to
jerk back and forth across the rails,
tearing up ties and damaging the
track.
The wreck crew was called and in
few hours had the track so that
trains could pass. BY evening, many
of the broken ties has been replaced
and traffic was resumed at normal
speed.
Railroad men say that this accident
nine times out of ten, would have
ditched the whole train resulting in a
big smash-up and loss to the CON-
pany.
