could have concealed his luncheon

Wreck of the Flying Diamond

Thud! The window panes ratified
as huge column of dirt and rock
reese from the hilltop near benson
vile. The last blast marked the
completion of the Bensonville Hill
road to the railroad station. The
road was cut through solid rock to

| foreman shouted, Watch out men!
! There's a boulder in back o. you

moved aside as the huge rock rolled
down the hill toward the railroad
tracks at the foot of huge trestle.
With a crash it slowly settled in q
ditch after smashing a rail. Noting
this the men turned pale and Havers
gasped.
my God! And the flying Diamond
is overdue" The men turned yell
low with terror. As one man they
rushed to the telegraph station to
make one effort to save the uncon-
scious passengers from their peril.
But too late Two minutes hence

The train brushed past them at
fifty miles an hour.
Havers jumped. He missed and
his body was ground under the light

of the cars turned pale. Women in
the cars tainted. They thought he
was a suicide. Little did they real

The workmen tremb1ed violently as

The big, strong, brawny men slow

was cleared away by q wreckage

Five years later a traveller at Ben
sonville read on a tombstone, "Ded-
icated to Frank Havers, foreman
of the Bensonville blasting works,
and John Sanders, an employee. BY

They found Havers under the tres
tie mangled to death, his hands
clasped as IL in prayer. Sanders was
lying under the coal car crushed to
death. No wonder the eyes of the
villagers dimmed when they told the
story to their friends.

SUNDAY. sEPTEMBER 81. 1914.

Astrology finds this a day in which
though Jupiter is in o. mildly benefic
aspect the leading influence is CEN
tered in the star that brings high
hopes to lovers.
1t is a peculiarly favorable time for
romance, the seers declare, since the
configuration is read as indicating
that sympathy and understanding are
quickened while the conhguration
endures.
Visiting is subject to a fortunate
influence. The government Of the
stars Is suspicious for association
with relatives and for making new
acquaintance.
Persons who pursue the artistic
professions should benefit. II Is pre-
dicted that musicians will be un-
usually fortunate during the coming
season.
There is a good omen for the wear
ing Of. clothing. Garments are
believed to be more becoming and to
last longer than they would, IL
donned under adverse influences
Dressmakers and milliners are sub
ject to influences that will be most
gainful ultimately. There is prog

who deal in articles made for the
adornment OF women. Under this
same omen glovers, perfumers, ems
broiderers, jewelers., florists and
dyers should prosper
When Venus is strongly benefcent
in sway ancient lore held that dwarfs,
the dumb, deformed and those with
only one eye were greatly favored.
The rule Is most suspicious for
poets and actors. Late in the winter
they will prosper and many will benz
eft through conditions produced by
the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
a fortunate augury for the year. With
care business will increase and
finances will be satisfactory. Domes-
tic conditions will be harmonious ana
the young will become engaged or
will marry.
Children whose birthdate it is
should be quick witted. brilliant and
reliable in every way Boys will be
fortunate in business. Girls are like
ly to marry early.
MONDAY. sEPTEMBER es, 1914.
Astrologers read warning in the
stars today. The influences are held
to be most unfortunate. for Mer-
curry, Mars, Neptune and Saturn are
all adverse. Late in the evening We
nus and the sun are in benefic aspect.
The rule is so sinister that wise
persons will pursue routine affairs
and refrain from taking the initiative
In any important enterprise. 1t Is
