"Stop!" he cried, in a tone of harsh
command, and involuntarily Sage drew
rein. The next instant, however, she
whipped up the pony, but the man sprang

still
What do you want? How dare you
stop me?" cried Sage, realizing her plight
and her absolute helplessness with a
throb of dismay.

Horrible Deviations.

''Ghasty and horrible" said the
suburbanite with some pride, lis the
derivation of these two round wooden
balls that crown my gate posts"
"Ghastly and hcrrible?"
Indeed, yea. For these two round
balls are a survival of the prehistoric
and savage time when man adorned the
entrance to his hut with the skulls of
slain enemies. The skulls of murdered,
perhaps of eaten foes-that is what
those prosaic round balls symbolic.
The widows mourning robes too,
have a horrible derivation, going back TO
the time when every widow was burnt
to death on her dead husbands pyre.
Her mourning robes are her cerements,
the garb she donned before going out to
her frightful death.
But most terrible of all is the deriva-
ton of our Christmas habit of kissing
under the mistletoe. So blood-curdling
vile and dreadful was the druidic rite,
which this custom comes down from.
that l cannot, for very shame, repeat it

In the DAYS of Speed"

A railway sign, old-style and still in
its original frame. is one of the curiosi-
ties at hotel in Prairie du Chen, which
forms a source of entertaining investiga-
ton by travelling men who stop at the
house. The sign bears date of Septem-
Der /, 1864, and is the official announce
ment of that day of the Pennsylvania
road. Among other wonderful state
ments, the notice declares that:
This company now operates double
tracks; hrst-class passenger trains, and
these make the run between Philadel-
:phia and Chicago just twenty-four hours
better time than any other road.
If the trains in 1864 made twenty-four
hours better time on their long run than
any other road then In operation. the in
teresting question arises, what was the
actual running time? This run today ia
made by the same road in eighteen hours.
