"Turned In a few minutes from fright," replied Barton, coolly. "Not an uncomon thing. Derry thought. bad a ren.arkable experience. Walt till i light my cigar and 1'11 teU you all about lt.•• It was during a great railroad squab- ble In France some years ago. Lionel Derry was a minor clerk in the main t Rice of the great Wissous company. but sharp, shrewd, attractive to his duties, and well thought of by his sup- eriors. When the Parray company began to build a road, and attempted to cross ttc Seine. on property belonging to the Wlasous people. Derry was sent up. with others, to "hold the fort" until the matter could be settled by the courts. The.Wlssous company's bridge was only a temporary trestle work, but plans had been prepared for a substantial ean- tllever, and it would be put in place as soon as the trouble about the right of way was settled. The engineer In charge of the bridge w'.rk was an elderly. sedete mac named Pierre Lamoureux, Intensely devoted to hie peof.wslon and a great inventor. Among the labor saving machines he had devised was an impreived pile driver vi bleb utilized the water of the river as a motive power and could be manag- ed by one man. One day It was moved up close be- side the bridge to do some pilins. and the engineer, pointing to the beams and crvemplecew above their heads said : "That's the weakest part of the bridge. Ten minutes' work will displace a thnber up there that wll cause the whole affair to collapse the minute • train at- tempts to pass over. I've been afraid that some of these Parray fellows would 'totter the matter and do our company irreparable damage." "Tou don't mean to say" -bean Terry. g "Tei. I do." Interrupted the engineer, with pnsttive emphasis They •re s Lad lot, and 'quint, the head man. would pacrlflce a hundred Innocent live,' to give his company an advantage." Lionel Derry had no reason to like e;uiot. Derry thought he was paying altogether to much attention to pretty Aimee 1'Etoile, who, strangely enough, was the only daughter of the chairman of the Wissous road. Mlle. I'Etoile was staying at the hlg hotel with her aunt. and Derry, being known by the latter, had been intro- duced to the young lady. He fell in love with her on the spur of the moment. One night when there was no moon and the stars were obscured by clouds. Derry left the hotel as usual after sup- per. and It was p o'clock when he re- turned. Derry halted alongside the tele driver. Presently he heard the Pound of voices. and two men walked toward the ma- chine and seated themselves on a lone piece of timber. They were Quint and one of hie gang. end the first words they uttered caused the. listener's flesh to creep with terror and a hot wave of indignation to sur.•• through his bosom. "You say that If that crowipleee is loosened the whole bridge will conspire the minute a. train attempts to cross 't asked Oulot's companion. "yes,' answered the Parray ortlelal : "and we can do It without fear of de- tection. Now's your time. The up ea - Areas is due at 9.47, and If It gm's down into the Sebe it will knock the Wlsous company's Naim over completely." nut Derry sprang forward quickly and interrupted Mm. "No. YOU don't you villlan *-" he cried, and seised the man's shoulder. '•I overheard your vile plan. and you don't--" "Don't I was the quick retort. And wheeling suddenly the man dealt Lionel • blow full la the tans that knocked him Mat Atttactad by Ms srroRk. Quint came forward, and bending down, peered Into the young clerk's Lace. "What shall 1 do with him 7" asked the accomplice. "Pitch him Into the river ! e;uiot, stepping to the pile driver. pleked up a long piece of rope that had leen left lying on the ground. With this, esiiated by the ether ras- cal. he bound Derry hand and (not. and s thick wooden gag wap thrust into hit mouth. Them they lifted up their helpless burden. and. carrying hitt to the end of the bridge, hound him fast to one of the rails in such a way that Ms rhea lay dimwit, acme it. "I forgot the goods," said Oulot, when the Job was completed to his patii- feetion. "The local frons the other road tacks arrow to ire Junction to be made up into the south through train.

The guard heard the latter word, swung his lantern as a signal to the driver to stop. and sprang to the brakes. In a moment tb• train came to a stand- still, and the guard helped from 1t. **What is it P' he demanded. "Why, that pile driver's running -Ah -h As he uttered the exclamation be staggered back. and pointed to the bat- tered.

It was the lever of the pile driver upon which the rope about the latter•'■ ankles had caught. and when he pulled to release himself the lever was thrown neck and the pile driver was net in motion. Lionel managed to stop the machine and tell of his adventure. Then he was ceercome, and fell to the ground faint- ing. The men carried him to the hotel, and there it was found that his hair and moustache had suddenly become white. A brain fever followed. during which Aimee 1'Etolle was the poor fellow's nurse. for her father, the manager of the WW'lssous road was a passenger upon the train that Ouott had so coolly plan- ted to send down to destruction, and gTatltude•over her parent's escape made the girl wondrous tender to the man who had nearly lost his life that her father might be spared -lid Bits. LAKE SUPERIOR. its Thyslea1 Features. its nerveless leeptia mad rarity. Professor Mark W. Harrington. chief of the Weather Bureau. read a careeutly prepared paper on "Some Physical Fea- tures of Lake Superior" before a large- ly attended meeting of the Oeograp- homl Society, at the Cosmos Club house recently. The paper gave an Interest- ing description of the lake, Its area, coast line, Islands, drainage area, for- mation, depth, currents. changes of lev- el., periodic and son -periodic changes, temperature. precipitation, forest fires, storms, winds, climate, vegetation. soil. fauna and commerce. Lake Superior, the lecturer said. was the largest .04 deepest. not only of the great hakes, but of all the bodies of fresh water on the earth. Its total coapt line is 1,- 272 miles. of which sig miles are( on the American aide and 992 miles on the Canadian side. The total area, Includ- ing bays and 'elands. Is 3222.156 square miles. The islands !Owe an area of 560 square miles. and The Mays an area of 1,041 square miles', leaving a total area of open lake water surfa: a of 30,- 466 square miles. The boundary line over the lake between the Dominion of Canada and the I'nited States is 209 miles long. Probably the next largest body of fresh water in the world, the lecturer said. Is Victoria Nyanza. or Ukerewe. In /equatorial Africa. with an estimated area of 25.000 to 30,000 square miles. as against the Lake Superior's known surface area of 82,116 square miles. The combined area of the great lakes of the St. Lawrence is 16,275 phare miles. and a third of this is formed by Lake Sperior. The largest Inland In Lake Sperlor is Isle Royal. or the Regal Island. The Indians have al- ways considered this Island an evil spirit. and even now are loth to visit it. On account of the large expendi- tures upon 1t. with no adequate return, the island hag also proved somewhat of a 'hoodoo" to the white people. Cari- bou still remain on this island and have become quite tame. The island 1s de- scribed as an Isolated and nearly sub- merged mountain ridge. rising from 1,- 000 to 1.500 feet from the bottom of the lake. It is the only Wand of the kind In the lakes, and is only paralleled by isolated and volcanic islands of the great oceans.-Wasbington Star. ictal Abet/alae. sad Tltaltt7. Every polar expedition and whaling vessel which visited the Baffin Bay re- gion puts in at Yaureke Bank, so as to allow explorer's and seamen to vivid the celebrated Lake of Blood. Of it the author of "My Summer in the North." says : "It Is a lake of considerable ex- tent, lying only a few feet above the line! of the sea, and appears of a deep dark blood red. • • • Careful examination proved, however, that the water itself was as pure and clear as possible ; the red effect being due to the fact that the bcttom and sides of else lake, as well a• the few stones which were scattered about in it. were coated most perfectly with the red snow plant. In Immo places, when the water had evaporat- ed, the withered red plants on the salt and rocks looked exactly like dried spots of blood," ter wasn't tam I1.
