threw himself over the rear end of
the car and made a dive for the two
struggling forms stretched out in front
of the cruel wheels.
He hit the ground just in front of
Hoyt and with a lightning grasp and
throw he pitched to the side of the
track and fully five feet out in the
right of way the two human beings
who seemed doomed to tragic death
And falling back out of the way only
to have his shirt stripped by the rods
Of the brakes he saved his own life.
And then carrying out the part of
real heroes the two young men sneak
ed away from the plaudits of the
crowds and took up their duty on the
which were in line far away up the
spur. A few scratches and bruises
constituted their injuries.
But this was not the, only miracle
of the day. About a. half hour after
this incident while the trains were
preparing to leave the station and
round the curve for the city. one of
the guards employed by the street rail-
way who had strolIed around below
the platform on the other side of the
cars happened to look beneath the big
motor at the head of the train. His
eyes almost bulged out when he be-
held the sight, for as innocent as If it
was at home in the backyard, was an
other little baby about four years old,
with its hands up on the air brakes,
trying to discover the cause of the
noise which at that time came from
the air pumps. And before the guard
could believe his eyes the gong rang
and the brakes were released, and
with a buzz and a groan the cars
started on their journey to the city.
Here was another cause for quick
action and without shouting to the
motcrman or giving a warning. to the
train crew he leaped under the car,
grabbed the child and came out again
Just as the rear trucks grazed his
ankles Very few people saw this and
it was simply another heroic deed
done while the eyes of the world were
not there to approve.
The names of the two babies were
never learned and the parents them
selves have not made known their
thanks through information to the
heroes but the deed saved years of
sorrow and grief and also the lives of
two innocent children whose natural
curiosity brought them in such close

BIG HOUSE BURNS.
Residence of Oliver Livingstone Jones
Contained 100 Rooms.

New York, Aug. 26.-Eleven hours
after DR.. Oliver Livingstone Jones, who
owns property in nearly every state of
the Union, returned to his home at
Cold Spring Harbor, L. l., the house
caught fire and was burned to the
ground. The house. which is said to
have been the largest private residence
on Long Island, was built about sixty
years ago and contained more than one
hundred rooms.
DR.. Jones, who is very wealthy,
maintained a large establishment with
many servants. carriages and automo-
biles. The weak physical condition Of
son had caused him to worry excess
sively and while thus perturbed. he
disappeared from his home Tuesday
night. Long after midnight searching
parties were organized and yesterday
he was found roaming through the
woods near Syesset by an automobile
party in search OF him, and he was re-
turned to his home. How the great
mansion caught fire is a mystery. The
upper floor was ablaze when the first
alarm was given and IT was then too
late to save the structure. With IL
were destroyed many works of art and
a fortune in tapestries and furniture.

WHEN DENTON KILLED A BEAR.
Tom Botlxin Gives Inside Facts on the
Thrilling Achievement.

Tom Botkin. assistant secretary of
state, and the secretary, c. E. Denton,
are having a good natured contest TO
see which one can tell the best hunting
story On the other. Denton led off with
a story about deer Botkin claimed he
killed in Arkansas.
Following is Botkin's reply which
concerns a certain bear Denton claims
he killed:
Years ago-and you know Denton's
home is at Attica, in Harper county, he
left Attica one fine fall day to shoot
along the Cimarron river in Oklahoma.
In those times there were few small
scrubby black bear wandering about
the little patches of wood along thai
river 1t was Denton's intention to bag
a few of them-at least, that is what he
said he went for. Several days later
he came back. He stopped en- route
home at Kiowa, about thirty miles from
Attica. He stayed there all night all
though he could easily have driven
home that same night. The cause for
this stopover will come to your minds
later.
1.-The next morning Denton drifted
into Attica, and his step was firm and
brisk; his chest was pushed out; his
eyes sparkled; and he had the general
behavior of man who is well pleased.
He walked into the postoff1ce, presum-
ably to get his mail. But 1 think that
he really spied half a dozen of the most
prominent townsmen assembled there,
and it was his chance
Hello. Gene they called to him.
'What'd you shoot?
Got a bear he announced trium-
phantly.
Prove it, they demanded in chorus
Down on the sidewalk Denton
dumped a bundle, and when the wrap
pings were taken off. big fine skin
of cinnamon bear. that had probably
weighed 300 pounds, was spread out.
The hide was still wet, or green as we
call it, proving it had been killed op{E
a few hours before.
These natives stood about ard mar
veled-in fact, they gasped in their
surprise and wonder. Gene held an
reception right then ami
there, and received the fluctuations and
congratulations of his fellow toyvnsmen
Inc more the men thought about it the
more envious they became, and each
one fervently and secretly resolved to
at once get ready and 60 to the
Cimarron to do likewise. The women
were proud of Gene and made much
over him. 1t was a great day for him.
How did you do it?' some one
asked.
"'welI.' Gene replied. TIL tell you.
