MANS PERILOUs RIDE.

Just as the Lackawanna Limited
from Buffalo was leaving the station
at Dover, N. j., man rushed through
the depot, grabbed the upright hand
rail at one of the platforms and
| leaped onto the lower step. The ves-
tibuled doors were closed and he was
unable to get inside His plight was
seen by Baggagemaster Ford as the
train swept past the baggage room.
At the best the man had only the
one rail to cling to and an inch or
two for his toes on the STEP Ford
ran into the depot and gave the
alarm and the train dispatcher at
Hoboken was notified. A signal tow
er near Boonton was notified to stop
the train, although it was expected
the man would be swept from his pre-
carious hold before the train reached
that point, fourteen miles from Dover.
. The signals were thrown against the
express just in time to bring 1t to a
stop under the tower.
AS she slowed down the man fell
exhausted from the step into the
ditch beside the track. He was cared
for and taken in the train to Hobo
ken. But for Ford seeing him he
would have been killed, for just be-
yond Boonton there IS an iron fence
so close to the track that the man
could hardly have missed it.

A DRAMATIC MOMENT.

The mob surged thickest around
one little old man with black felt
hat and gray overcoat. This was Pre-
fect Of Police Lepine, who, with
silver headed cane under his arm,
| had come to see things for himself.
The crowd only recognized him when
he was among them, for this brave
| little man of sixty, who nearly lost
| his life en- Wednesday night, had
taken 1t in his hands again this after
hoon and stood entirely alone among
l. sea of threatening faces and
,lenched fists upraised.
Then came diversion. A large,

| .ones:
Comrades, he is all alone and Is
IN old man. Don't hurt him."
He was only just in time. A Paris
.rowd loves personal courage and ad-
1ires it, but in the crowd on the
Place de Clichy were many evil-faced
men with loaded sticks, who writhed
ind pushed in toward the prefect.
The apaches of Paris have reason to
hate Lepine, and it is undoubtedly
that the colossus with the red beard
saved him from being murdered.
| Yes, don't let him be crashed"
shouted the crowd. and the man with
he red beard and thousands of others

map was slightly torn, and. pointing
