THE ENGINE IS DETAILED

Selma, November 26. - Special Perhaps as diabolical a plot as was ever conceived in the mind of a fiend was providentially frustrated about
 midnight last night. The wrecking of | passenger train was the purpose in view. Just the reason for the act is not known.
 The Southern train from Akron, due 1 in Selma about 11:30, was coming
 along fortunately at a slow pace, when
 1t struck. the bridge over the Cahaba | river or there would have occurred one
 of the worst wrecks chronicled in these parts since the well remembered Dunk
 lins bridge disaster of a quarter of a century ago. As the train approach ed
 the bridge Engineer Little saw that
 something was wrong and when upon passing over the approach on the other end an obstruction of crossties was
 struck it was known that an attempt
 had been made to wreck the train,
 throwing it into the river.
 1 The engine was derailed just off the 1 approach. on the eastern end of the bridge and then an investigation was
 made. It was found that the bolts had been drawn from the rails and the
 fish bars removed, leaving the rails
 loose. Crossties had been piled at the
 far end of the bridge in order to com plete the disaster.
 l The engine was not badly derailed
 and after few hours work it was put l back on the track and the train came on into the city, being delayed about
 two hours.
 1 Had the train been a few minutes l behind time and attempting to make | it up there would undoubtedly have
 been horrible accident. As it was
 the wonder is that the rails did not l turn over when the engine first struck
 them. There is no clew at this time
 as to the perpetrators of the fiendish act.
 1 Captured In Memphis. Sheriff Doherty has returned from ] Memphis, where he went to apprehend l Walter Standford, wanted in this coun-
 ty for the murder of Ike Collins Jr.
 Both are negroes. Collins was killed
 one Sunday night a few months ago. He was allowed $20O0 bail and re-
 mained in the city until the day of his l trial, when he lit out for pastures new. His bondsmcn offered a reward of $500 | for his capture and Sheriff Doherty learned that he was in Memphis. MT. | Doherty remained in Memphis several days, but finally landed his man, catch :
 ing him in a barber shop just as he
 was about to get shaved. When the
 Memphis detective slapped the negro on
 the shoulder and turned him around to
 MT. Doherty, asking the negro if he
 knew the gentleman, the negro said, Oats MT. Doherty." He returned to l Selma without a requisition. Harmony Club Dance. 1 The Harmony club building presented a l brilliant scene this evening when the

fettered you and held you captive.
God knows, you tried to steel YOUR
self, for the thought Of some n
else held you back-that some one
of whose existence you had not
known until too late. Why is it
that ever now your cheeks flush as
you remember who that other was,
for it was his invalid wife.
How wrong it seems to you now,
yet that night you could have gone
to the end of the world for his sake.
The next day, when you awoke and
reviewed the night before in the
bright light of the mornings sun,
how your face burned with mortifi-
cation and anger, while in your
heart you verged upon despising
him. Still you forgave him-he
had sinned through his love for
you.
Again the ~desolation of your
heart comes back, as later in that
day when you received a letter in
his handwriting. At first you dared
not open it, then you mustered
courage and read what you thought
was a death warrant. 1t was very
short and you accepted it with a
heart wrung in agony. Can you re-
peat it now? | am sure that you
can with a little effort.
"Mv Dear Miss Knox When
you read this ! shall be On my way
to London. | engaged passage this
morning and mv wife will follow
me as soon as convenient. No doubt
, shall be gone for many months,
perhaps years. Remember, what
ever befalls you. ! am your very sim
cere friend, Rcy1old Meyers"
Not one word of the night before.
So that was the end, after all! 1t
was better that it should be so-and
he was gone, The agony of the
months which followed you could
never live through again, and YOU
hid it beneath the mask of a smil-
ing face. No one dreamed that you
had buried all your girlhood, all
your burning passion and romance
in the little drawer with the red
flowers you had worn at the opera.
He had half-whcre are they now?
Why does it all come back to-
night, after five long years have
elapsed? How changed he had
looked last night at the reception;
very much older and sadder. In
far, sunny France he had buried his
wife. But it was too late and, per-
haps that, too, was best. No, YOU
should not think of him now, nor
these things; bury them deep in
your heart and never reveal them.
You are not the only one who has
had a part of her heart burned to
ashes. You ought to thank God
hat it did not wreck your life.
That is right, look at the picture
above the mantel, that fair young
man whose eyes are looking at you
reproachfully. How could you do
otherwise than love him when he
has given you the devotion of his
life and helped you make your own
life anew?
Why, there are his footsteps on
the stair, You should have heard
him when he came. Crowd back
those thoughts into your heart, des-
troy them as completely as the with
cred flowers you just now threw on
the flames. Even now your heart
has lost the ache it had while re-
viewing these scenes of what now
looks to you like a past existence,
Never think of what might have
been; try to think you never loved
him at all--that it was only a fancy
and a day-dream.
Your husband is now at the door
and you must welcome him.

Does it not seem strange now,
that you could have been so foolish
long ago. What in the world made
you think of it tonight? There
you sit by the CRATE with that
thoughtful look in your eyes, coolly
reviewing the past which you
thought, in your self-confidence,
you had forgotten. How foolish OF
%you-for you ought to know that
those things are not 30 easily for
gotten as may be supposed.
1t all happened Sc strangely, or
at least it seemed strange to you,
though to others it might be the
most commonplace of all that lis
commonplace.
1t was at the home of 8 friend
where you first met, and he looked
so handsome. (Reynold Meyers
always did look handsome in your
eyes, You were fascinated with
his brilliant conversation and, al
though you thought him conceited,
you admired him much. Afterwards
he accompanied you home and, un-
thinkingly, you invited him to
call.
He did come to see you many
times after that-do you remember
rather, have you, can you forget
Every time that you saw him you
oblitcrated from your mind some
of his faults and instated more of
what seemed to you, his projections
Not until afterwards did YOU notice
that he was always such IA courteous
gentleman in his ways and so ten
der and devoted. He told you how
sad his life was, how no II appre
ciated him, and appealed in such
subtle way to all your. womanl,
sympathies.
One evening, how well you recall
it, he had just escorted you HON,
from the opera. Mabel Marden CAV,
the box party. Why was it tina
Mabel Marden always contrived t
have you and him see so much o
n another? That wonderful
opera! 1t had been a rushing, mad
dening melody that had seemed t
take away your senses and, as yo'
sank back into one of the luxuriou
chairs in the dear old home, yo'
were not wholly free from the in
huence of the music which ha
moved you so strangely.
He stood on the hearth rug facin
you, looking down into your eye
How plainly you can see him nov
even to the wavy hair that he ha
pushed back from his high fore
head. Nothing was said and yo
gazed back dreamily into his eye
Then all at once you saw a grea
light sweep into them-the fer
eruption of the volcano of his soul
and you could feel the answerin
rush of flame in your own soul, an
then-you knew and understood
