GIRLS CROSS CONTINENT

NEW YORK DkMSELS IN KHAKI
TELL OF THRILLING TRIP TO
PACIFIC COAST.

San Bernardino. Cal.--Miss Nellie
Holly and Miss Beatrice Logan, claim
ing to have beaten their way from
New York on brakebeams, have ar
rived here on their last stretch TO Los
Angeles. Dressed in khaki skirts and
leggings, with light oiled cloth hoods
to keep the dust from their tresses,
they look as though they had just
stepped from a Pullman instead Of
having braved the unusual experience
of brakebeam tourists.

US for the hardships borne" declared
Miss Holly, and she AYERS that in the

plants were detrained.
Leading Bacil to the spot where the
driver lay imprisoned, the trainer COM
manded her to remove the heavy tim
bers. With infinite caution, stepping
warily over smouldeTing beams, Bacil
wound her trunk around one huge
rafter, raised it, and laid it some
yards aside. Then, returning, piece
by piece she CALAMITY accomplished
her task
But still the fire was creeping nearer
and nearer to the helpless driver. No
doubt he was aware that frantic eff
forts were being made to save him.
Yet by what means remained a mys-
terry.
A cry arose for water. Bacil had
nobIy borne away even a charred and
smoking beam. But now, unless water
had been forthcoming to stay the
course of the fire, the work of rescue
must have ceased. Even this cry
had been anticipated by the trainer.
The remaining elephants were return
ing from the Monongahela river, which
lay short distance from the line
Drawing them up, the trainer shouted
a word of command.
Instantly, as if performing in a cir
Gus, the eight great beasts raised their
trunks and poured heavy stream Of
water on the wreckage,
Back to the river went the eight
elephants. Back to her task Of rescue
proceeded BaciL Beam after beam
the mighty beast lifted, while at in
tervals her eight fellows returned from
the river and Quenched the fire.
Suddenly a great cheer arose from
the onlookers. Bacil had removed
the last beam. and amidst the spray
ing of water by the living fire engines
the driver, drenched to the skin, IN
hurt, and speechIess with amaz4meut,
arose and moved into safety.

SOUTH DAKOTA COUPLE
MARRIED IN The DARK
PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN AND
BRIDE HAVE KNOT TIED
IN GLOOM.

Lead, S. D.-Marriage always has
been called "a leap in the dark" but it
remained for Miss Rose Hynan of this
city to be married literally in the dark.
Her marriage to James NJ. Fontains.
q leading young business man of the
town, perhaps was the most remark
able on record in the northwest coun~
try. After the young woman had
promised to become Mrs. Fontaine she
began to look forward to the wedding
day with regret, if not absolute fear.
Naturally shy in society, she believed
she would be embarrassed and bewil-
dered when in the presence of a large
company of friends she took Mr.. Fon-
tame for better or worse" She
feared she might faint away, or maks

Soldier Loses Consciousness on Peril
Gus Perch from Exposure to Freez-

Baltimore, Md.-Between IL and one
o'clock the other night, while most
Baltimoreans were soundly sleeping
beneath extra blankets, James O'Cop-
nor, a private in the Twenty Sixth
coast artillery, was flying through
space at the rate Of 60 miles an hour,
perched upon the cowcatcher of the
engine which drew the Baltimore &
Ohio railroads midnight express into
Camden station at 1910 o'clock.
At the time mentioned the mercury
in the official thermometer at the
weather bureau registered Is degrees.
In many places the ground was COW
cred with snow and ice, and the air
was biting cold.
At the University hospital O'Connor
told his story. His experience, &C
cording to his own statements, was
thrilling, SO much so that he is not
likely to forget it.
1t seems that O'Connor had up until
last fall been stationed with his COM
mand at Fort Flagler, in the state of
Washington, not far from Seattle
Last November he came east and since
that time has been in Washington, D.
c. Now, O'Connor makes no bones of
the fact that he is not a temperance
man. The weather being somewhat
chilly and feeling the need of warm
ing stimuiant, he proceeded to fill up.
About IL o'clock he felt reckless and
was apparently in that frame of mind
when he didn't care whether school
kept or not
Having business to attend to IN Bal
timore, O'Connor decided that he
would come over and look after his
affairs. Why that thought should
have struck him at II o'clock at night
he didn't explain, but at any rate he
decided to come, and come he did.
When he reached Union station at
Washington the soldier discovered
that he lacked the price of transporta-
ton. There are more ways of travel
ing on a railroad than in a Pullman

had several vehement declarations Of
alteration from trainmen, in New Mex
leo alone having received three pro-
posals of marriage. While recuperat-
ing at Needles Miss Holly came face
to face with a brakeman who had
followed them all the way from Albu-
querque to press his suit.
From New Mexico comes the state
ment that the two fetching blondes
are adventuresses. 1t is charged that
they passed two weeks riding up and
down on that division of the Santa
Fe enriching themselves from the gen.
crosby of lcainmemn. Miss Holly
laughed when Informed Of this charge,
and replied that all the trainmen on
the Albuquerque division are piqued
because they preferred the brake
beams to the caboose.

such a spectacle of herself that she
forever would be shamed. Mr.. FOn-
tame tried to persuade her that no
one would make fun of her or in any
way would attempt to make her life
miserable. She would not believe him
and was almost on the point of break
ing her engagement and calling the
wedding off, when her lover made the
proposition that they be married in
the dark.
Accordingly, they began to lay their
plans. The groomto-be did not let
any one in on the secret except his
best man, Henry ]. Spooler. The we'd
ding night arrived, and 100 or more
guests filed into the brides home.
They were greeted with the sight of a
profusion of bridal roses and other
beautiful floral decorations.
The guests all were seated, ana
were awaiting the arrival of the bridal
couple, when Mr.. Spooler, the best
man" turned off the electric lights. At
first all was CONSERVATION. The Wis
itors could not imagine what was the
matter. Then Mr.. Spooler announced
that the wedding would take place in
the dark, save for a candle which
would be placed in such a position that
the minister could see his lines.
Presently the bride and groom APP
peared at a side door. They quickly
stepped to their places, where, by the
uncertain light Of the candle, their
faces scarcely could be seen. This
minister spoke the few words that
made them one, and, before the bewil-
dered guests were aware Of what had
happened, the happy couple escaped
from the room and entered a carriage.
They were driven to the depot, where
they boarded a train for the east
When the carriage left the house the
lights were turned on. Every corner
of the house was searched, but no
trace of the runaway couple could be
found. Mrs. Fontaine not only had
hidden her bushes, but she had pre-
vented any one seeing her wedding
gown, although it was just as beauti-
full as it would have been had the
wearer consented to a wedding in the
"limelight."

Child Lies Still Under a Train.

Pottsville, Pa-Joseph Bradley,
aged six years, wandered upon the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks south Of
this place and was run down by an
engine, but miraculously escaped in
jury by coolly lying down upon hix
stomach between the rails.
The engineer saw the boys perilous
predicament too late to stop. Horror
stricken, he and his fireman went
back after the engine had passed over
young Bradley's body. They found
Him IN tears, but unscathed.

In the lovely new designs in ribbons
with which the weavers have pre-
scented the public this year the little
maidens have not been forgotten. A
set of ribbons-four yards for sash
and three or four ribbons in narrower
design to amtcn-is put up in a dainty
box ready for the summer wardrobe
or Easter party.
Those with Dresden designs are
perhaps the prettiest, although blues
and dainty pinks as ever hold their
own, as do the dark reds and some
plaids.
