tuted
Miss Milliorn had been visiting at
the home of her sister, Mrs. John
Reed, of Lafayette, and the two went
to Wabash to visit another sister.
Mrs. Reed decided to remain for sew
eral days and Miss Milliorn in the
afternoon hastily made up her mind to
take the Continental limited and re-
turn to her home in Logansport The
decision necessitated hurried pack
ing and fast walk to the Wabash rail-
road station. Miss Milliron arrived in
the depot just as the train was pulling
out. She gave her sister farewell
kiss, and clutching her skirts she raced
out and pluckily grabbed the handles
little before she clambered upon the
steps. The vestibule door refused to
open. 1t would not bulge. She pushed
and strained and, failing to open it,
pounded franticalIy on the glass, hop
ing to attract the attention of pOrters
or passengers. Her efforts were
drowned in the rattle and roar of the
train, and she turned to alight Fear
seized her. The momentum was such
that she dared not risk a leap into
space. The train was increasing in
speed each passing moment. Conflict
| ing emotions filled her She wanted
to leap out, but dared not. She knew
thing to do, but her nerve failed
Twice she nerved herself for the drop,
but each time she drew back and
frightened her hold on the handles.
Hope was in her that one of the
train crew or passengers would see
her plight and rescue her. Ten, 20, 80
miles an hour sped the train. The en-
gineer was trying to make up time and
! he pulled the throttle back another
notch. Fifty miles an hour rushed the
train, stirring up the dust and gravel.
To the passengers comfortably seated
inside telegraph poles along the track
appeared as picket fence, and farm
houses flashed into view only to dis
appear moment later.
Tremendously the girl clung to the
handles. The rushing wind blinded
and buffeted her. Her clothes were
the plaything of it's caprices and her
hair was blown to ribbons. Loudly it
shrieked and swayed her body, striv-
ing to tear her away from the car.
Everything was forgotten except the
! thought that she was soon to drop
down and meet the rushing, fleeing

But she did not. For this she has
the operator at the station in Wabash,
Modricker, by name, to thank. He had
seen the girl board the car as the train
was moving, ran to the telegraph Office
and had the train stopped as related
above.
The rest of the journey to Logans-
port was made reclining on the cush-
ions in the train. Arriving here she
went to her home unassisted, but a re-
action set in, and as the result of her
wild ride and terrible experiences, she
was confined to the house several

ing her grip on the handles; when it
seemed that she must let go and drop
from the rushing train, to be rolled
and pushed over the frozen ground
and then left inert, bruised, battered
and dead, the train came to a STOP
Operator Modricker, in Wabash, Ind,
where the girl had boarded the train,
had seen her predicament and peril as
the limited was steaming out of the
station. Peru, 20 miles distant, was
the trains next scheduled stop, and
Modricker, realizing that the girl could
not possibly cling to the handles that
length of time, rushed to his office and
furiously pounded the telegraph key,
calling the operator at Hartsman Sta
ton, five miles away. When the Con-
tinental limited Numbered into view
at Hartsman the operator was in the
middle of the track wildly Haunting a
red flag.
With grinding jar the train came to
stop, and Miss Milliron loosened her
grasp on the car handles and sank to
the ground, where she collapsed in a
heap. She could not have held on a
moment longer.
Miss Milliorn will talk but little of
her experience. Thought of that wild

HEROlSM IN POWDER MILLS.
Men Who Manufacture Explosive Ap.
parently Fearless of Danger.

II always like to read of the heroism
of firemen and policemen, but think
that Virginia can pride herself on hav-
ing more heroic acts accomplished in
a year than any other state in the
union," said Roger Harriss, of Char
louisville, Va. "The Virginias and
Carolinas have 80 per cent. of the pow
der mills in the country and the Du
Pont people alone furnish the govern
ment with large amount of explosive.
The mixing process is an extremely
dangerous one and there are many
instances where the powder has ex.
ploded from seemingly no cause.
when hundreds of kegs of powder
are piled together in warehouse the
effects of an explosion are too terrible
for comprehension. When we do have
q disaster it generally is an awful one,
but hardly month passes when the
heroism Of an employee does not save
the plants from destruction and the
lives of hundreds of workers. About
two months ago the Du Pont mill near
Norfolk caught fire from the outside
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-01-09

and within 100 feet of the scene of
the blaze was warehouse containing
several tons of giant powder. With
scarcely thought of the great danger
the workmen secured the fire-fEhting
apparatus and quickly got the fire un-
der cnntrol.
when the danger seemed over a
sudden gust of wind blew a number
of the burning brands directly on the
roof of the powder house. Before the
roof could catch afire a half dozen of
the workmen were upon it and extin-
guished the blaze with brooms and
pals of water. This, think, is true
heroism."

CHAPTER XXXn.

CHAPTER XXXI1.
Monsieur lie Deputy sat in an arm
chair at the door of his cottage in St..
Louis. With eyes fixed upon the gar
den he yet saw nothing of the beauty
of the little place, abloom with the
reckless prodigality of late summer.
There was no grass and few trees.
Instead, he had chosen to make of his
garden spot a maze of beds, fantastic
in design, where, in riotous profusion,
everything blossomed as though In
haste to catch all the life of sun and
breeze before the blasting breath OF
autumn. There was a carpet of petals
on the ground, and the dust and dowI
from falling blossoms danced to death
in long shafts of sunshine
Monsieur lie Deputy noticed nothing
of this. His thoughts were of the past,
rowing restlessly from camp to camp,
changing as he had changed with uni
form and flag. But to each true; the
varied service had left on his con-
science no scar, only a broad-minded
charity for every race and creed. Rem
iniscence, therefore, brought no sting:
and he pulled contentedly and alb
stractedly away, watching the rings of
smoke drift into various shapes With
the winds fancy.
A locusts note sounding it's dreary
prophecy startled him. For this old
soldier, who had faced without finch.
ing, sword and bullets hail, shrank
each year from autumn's carnage.
Summer, with it's warmth and light,
was the prototype of life and living:
under it's beams he was young, revivi-
fed. With the chill of autumn he was
old-seemed to lose many years with
the coming of each winter. And each
year the warning sounds of falling leaf
and locust's cry were to him as the
passing bell to hope and prime.
Thoughts like these saddened his
eyes, made grave the corners of his
mouth, and he sighed, restlessly knock
ing ashes from pipe against the hol-
low of his hand-that hand yellow, as
with the rust of sword. He was
reused by voices at the gate, and a
hand slipped the latch. The wicket
opened to admit a man and woman,
who sauntered together up the path.
The deputy's face was aglow as,
starting from his chair, he met the
visitors half way.
'You are very welcome, Monsieur
Winslow-and this lady"
'Is my wife, your excellency"
your wife? Tres bein, I congratu-
late you, Monsieur" and with soldierly
courtesy the old man raised Lavender's
hand to his lips.
z Then he brought chairs for his
guests, asking a multitude Of ques-
tons -=chiehy Of how Winslow had
spent his time since they last met,
adding, with q smile at Lavender. 1T

Some Important Dress Accessories

In the millinery world it becomes
hourly more and more evident that
cocks feathers are enjoying a
triumphant reign! They are to be
seen on felt hats of all shapes and
colors, but they give the best effects
when combined with silk beaver in
shades of grey-blue or peach"
Cocks feather in a somber shade of
dead black" look exceedingly chic
on pale blue felt hats, handsome bows
of black satin ribbons being arranged
at one side of the curved brim and
underneath, resting on the hair, one
or two pure white camelias.
Hat pins never were more prom
inent feature of the headgear than
they are now. Instead of being tucked
away as much out of sight as possible
behind folds of trimming, the hatpin
of the hour is aggressive and seeks as
much display as may be. There are
some with big heads looking like Dres-
den china that are much used; and
other popular ones are imitation tor
toise shell. Some excellent simula-
tons of flowers, especially of the
large car violets, are made, and form
good finish to folds of velvet in har-
monizing colOrs.
The handsome umbrellas and para
soils of the season have never before
been in such variety and beauty, espe-
cially in handles. Crystal is popular
both for trimming and for whole han
dies and there are beautiful things in
carved ivory set in gold, in jade, in
lapis laZuli, etc
