He climbed to the roof, and dropped
through the hatch into the Ice box.
This box was about three feet wide
by eight feet long, and at the top and
bottom there We're iron-barred OPEN
ings into the car The boy leaned
against the side of the box, nervous In
the extreme. The rumble and lar of
the heavy train. for an hour or more.
precluded the possibility of sleep, but
at last he stretched his body on the
bottom of the box and dozed,
How long he was unconscious he
never knew. Suddenly he was awaken
ed by the sound as of a heavy body
having been thrown on top of the car.
He listened intently; but the sound
was not repeated, and he again slept
to be awakened by a sense of suffoca-
ton.
Standing on his toes he reached to
the opening through which he had
come. To his surprise he found this
tightly closed; and then the conyic-
ton forced itself upon him that the
sound he had heard was the closing
of the hatch. But stop! Why, II this
had been done, had the messenger not
called him?
Raising his voice he shouted loudly:
but no response was returned. The
thick walls Of the car, the noise of the
moving train, the beating of rain, which
he could distinctly hear, all combined
to drown his cry.
He endeavored to push the hatch
open, but was unable to even move II
a particle. The fetid air was telling
on his breathing, and the nervous
strain was growing intolerable. When
1t seemed as though he could no LONGER
endure his situation a new terror pre-
sented itself; sound. to him the en-
bodiment of all things terrible, srnote
upon his ear. This was a hiss as of
serpent. and presently 1t was thrice
repeated-hiss, hiss, hiss
The many stories of tarantulas,
scorpions and centipedes which had
been told him on the levee at New Or
leans now required to him. Was he to
die miserable death, bitten by one Of
these reptiles? In a paroxysm of des-
pair he wept, and aimlessly beat the
sides of his prison walls.
At last hunger overcame his fear,
and he ate a portion OF his luncheon.
As he laid the remainder ON the bot
tom of the box his hand came in con-
tact with an opening-the outlet for
the waste water when the box was
filled with Ice. Now. this opening was
filled with paper and hay, so as to ex. |
clude the outer air; but Ben quickly
removed the obstruction and up into
his face rushed the sweet air. Several
draughts revived him, and much of the
horror of his situation vanished.
He endeavored to keep awake, for
the thought of the kissing serpent.

ing shone the light of that home life
which become one Of the brightest
jewels in the memory Of the American
people.
While Mrs. Mckinley was ambitious
for "the Major" she thought most of
all of the quiet of the Canton home,
with him always near.
1t was the home life, with her hus-
band always with her, that appealed
more strongly to this invalid woman
than all the pomp of public life.
The cruel death of her husband was
blow from which she never recov-
cred. Ever since that September day
In 1901 when he was laid to rest in
the Canton cemetery his faithful wife
awaited the summons to join him. She
wanted to be with him. Throughout
the years Of her suffering she was
cheerful and always busy in adding to
the happiness of others. She embodied
all those characteristics which adorn
American womanhood and beautify and
make sacred the American home.-

The bakers of the city, who are or
ganiZed, have made a demand upon
the proprietors and managers of the
various bakeries in the city for an
increase in wages. The increase, it
was stated last night, would amount
to about 25 per cent The proprietors
have until Saturday night to decide
whether or not they will accede to the
demands, and if they do not the un-
ion bakers will walk out. With such
a possibility in view, the union bak-
ers have already partially completed
arrangements to establish co-opera-
tive union labor bakery.
