urged them to enter, but they seemed afraid

the log himself, and the one thing for him
to do was to shoot into the opening, and then
try to hook out his victim
He drove the dogs away from the opening,
and, stepping up to it, aimed his gun inside.
But he did not FIRE. just as he was aiming,

Captain Wade had faced grizzly bears and
Indians, and he thought his nerves were
strong, but at this he staggered back and
nearly dropped his gun.
A scrsping noise sounded from the inside
of the log. In a moment more the hare dart

The convict nodded.
Captain Wade hesitated for little while.
The warden Of the prison had told him Bon
neI's story. His criminality had not been
very clearly proved For time he was a
model convict; then became morose and suiky.
The warden feared he might be innocent and
brooding over his wrongs. The case had been
laid before the governor and Bonner's pardon
was daily expected.
The captain knew that. if Bonner was cap
tured after his attempt to escape, his chances
for pardon would be greatly lessened

Wade, "and bear no grudge because of our

loosely at his side. 1t was great tempta-

would be in a position to dictate terms; the
officer would be in his power.
With a quick movement he tried to wrench
the gun from its owner. ! have said the cap

MEANS MUCH EXPENSE

Never before in the history of the
American railroads has there been such
a movement of empty freight cars to
and from all parts Of the country, as
there has been during the past few
months. The movement of the empties
can be said to date from the latter part
OF October or probably to be more ac-
curate from the first part of November
when the heavy railway traffic began
to grow lighter. This interchange of
cars still continues and operating Off
cials both of the largest and smallest
roads are unable to say when it will
end as at the present time there seems
to be no let up in sight.
The Interchange of cars is more no
ticeable in the larger railway centers
OF the United States such as Chicago,
Kansas City and St. Louis. However,
i can be noticed among railway offices
all over the country wherever there are
connecting facilities between two roads.
At the more important centers
empty cars are brought from the At
lantic seaboard and are turned over
to their western owners and vice versa.
Cars that have not been on their own
company's rails for years are being
turned and in any railway yard in the
country the number of foreign cars is
rapidly diminishing while the number
of cars belonging to the local road is
increasing.
This unprecedented heavy movement
of empty cars, some of which are haul
ed as far as a thousand miles, is due
chiefly to the per diem charge of 80
cents per car. For every foreign car in
the possession of any road the road US
ing the car must pay 80 cents per day.
1t often happens that one road will
have as many as a thousand cars be-
longing to another road. In this case
there will be a drain upon the treasury
of the road using the foreign cars OF
$500 per day. Consequently it is cheap
er to return these cars than it is to
keep them and pay the rental charge
for them.
When the volume of traffic is large
and a car shortage prevails, a road
could probably afford to pay the 80 cent
per diem charge as they can use the
cars and not have them lying idle in
the yards. But when there is compar-
atively little traffic as there is at the
present time and hundreds Of thou
sands cars are lying idle the economic
course for the roads to pursue Is to
return the cars at once to their own
eTs.
Every management at the present
time Is having it's lines ransacked for
foreign cars. The general order on ev-
cry road. irrespective of size or i'm

TREATMENT FOR GRIP.

NO treatment, however effectual it
may be, will always prevent quite a
1ohs siege with this disease. Perhaps
eIuna is as good remedy from first
to last, as any other that could be oh

During the acute stage of the disease
the Peruna should be taken in tea
spoonful doses every two hours. This
Would be sufficient for children and
weakly persons Full blooded strong
people should take teaspoonful every
hour.
sometimes this remedy will prevent

quences which generally follow the
