A lovers' rrel begins afresh chapter in the history heir love making. •t was a summer evening, cline and. clear balmy, and Netta and Ughtred had lied out together, not withcort a Bus. ion at times of hand looked HI hand, on high chalk down thatrises steep behind linbury. How or why they fell out she dly knew. But they had been engaged ady sorae months, without a sinele dis. eement, which of course, gave Netta a ht to quarrel with Ughtred by this tirae, he thought fit, and as they returned vn the hanging path through the combe ere the wild orchids grow; she used that nt at last, out of pure, unadulterated versity. The ways of women are wonder- ; no mere man cam fathom them. Some. ng that Uglitred said gave her the chance make a half petulant answer. Ughtred 7 naturally' -defended himself front the putation of rudeness, and Netta retorted, • the end of 10 minutes the trifle had own into as pretty a. lover's quarrel AS any y novelist could wish to describe in five ters. etteehad burst into perfectly orthodox rs, refused to be comforted in the most proved fashion, declined to accept Ugh- d's escort home, and bidden farewell to excitedly for ever and ever. It was all about nothing, to be sure, and two older or wiser heads had only stood unseen to view the little comedy they uld sagely have remarked to one auother, th a shake, that before 24 hours were out •a pair would be rashing into one =tether's ms with mutual apologies and mutual rgiveness. But Netta Mayne and Ughtred rnegie were still at the age when dne kes love seriously—one does before 30— so they turned along different paths, at e bottom of the combo, in the firm belief at love's young dream was shattered, and at they two were nothing more than pasa- g acquaintances to one another. Ughtred—if it were ooly for the tramps; a man is such a comfort And then there was that dreadful dog at Milton Court to pass, And Ughtred was gone, and all the world was desolate. . Thinking these things in a ttintelt of fear to herself, • she staggered along the path, feeling tired at heart,, and positively ill with remorse and terror. The dolor had faded now out of her pretty red cheeks. Ber eyes were dim and swollen with cry- ing. She was almost half glad T,Ightred couldn't see her jun then, she was snob a fright with her long spell of brooding. Even her bright print dress and her straw bat with the poppies in it couldn't redeem, she felt sure, be pallor and her wretchedness. But Ughtred was gone, and the world was a wilderness. And he would never come back, and the dog at -Milton Court was SO vicious. As she walked or rether groped her way, for she couldn't see for crying, down the path by the hedge, at every step she grew faintet and fainter. Ughtred was gone, and the world was a blank, and there were tramps and dors, and it was getting dark, and she loved him so much, and mamma, would be so angry. Turning over which thoughts with a whirl- ing brain, for she was but a girl after all, she reached the little swinging gate that led to the railway, and pushed it aside with vague numbed hands, and stood. gazing va- cantly at the long curved line m front of her. Suddenly a noise rose sharp in the field behind her. it' was only a colt, to be sure, disturbed by her approach, dashing wildly across his paddock, as is the way with young horseflesh. But to Netts it came as an indefinite terror magnified ten thousand fold by her excited feelings, She made a frenzied dash for the other side of the railway, What it was she knew not, bat it was or might be Anything, everything—mad bulls, drunken mem footpads, vagabonds, mur- derers. .0h, how could Ughtred ever have taken her at her word, and left her, like this, alone, and in the evening ? It was cruel, it was wicked of him ; she hated to be dis- loyal, and yet she felt in her heart it was most unmanly. • As she rushed along wildly, at the top of her speed, her little foot caught on the first rail, Before she knew what had happened she had Wien with her body across the line. Faint and terrified already with a thousand vague alarms, the sudden shock stunned and disabled her. Mad. bull or drunken men, they might do as they liked now. She wasbruised and shaken. She had no thought left to rise and recover herself. Her eyes closed heasily. She lost conscious- ness at once. It was a terrible position. She had fainted on the lino with the force of the situation. As for Ughtred, frotn his seat on the telegraph post on the side of the line 500 yaras further up, be saw her pause by the gate, then dash acress the road, then stum- ble and trip, then fall heavily forward. His heart came up into his month at once at the sight. Oh, thank heaven, he was near. She had fallen across the line, and a train inight come along before she could rise again. She seemed to be hurt, too. In a frenzy of suspense he darted forward to save her. It tcok it but a second for him, to realize thee she had fallen and was seriously hurt, but in the course of that second, even as he realized it all, another and more pressing terror seized him. Hark What was that? Ho listened and thrilled. Oh, — too horrible — it must be—the railway 1 He know it. He felt it. Along up theline on which Netta was lying he heard behind him—oh, unmistak- able, unthinkable, the whirr of the express But with that hideous thing actually rush - dashing madly down behind him. Great ing, red and wrathful, on his sight—why— heavens, whet could be do ? The train svas he clapped his hands to his ears. It was coming; the train was vainest this moment too much for him—too much for him. upon them.

As the engine turned the corner the In these awful moments men don't think ; driver, looking ahead in the clear evening they don't OV0.11 realize what their action. light, saw something that made him start means ; they simply aet and act instinctive- with sudden horror and alarm. A tele- ly. Ughtrece felt in a second, without even graph pole lay stretched full length, and a man, unknown, stood agonized by its side, stooping down, as he thought, to catch and move it. There was no time to stop her now; no time to avert the threatened ea- tastrophe. All the driver could do in his haste was to put the brake on hard and en- deavor to lessen the force of the inevitable concussion. But even as he looked and wondered at the sight, putting on the brake, meanwhile, with all his might and main, he sew the man in front perform, to his surprise, an heroic action. Rushing full upon the line, straight before the very lights of the advancing train, the man un- known lifted np the pole by main force, and Brandishing its end, as it were, wildly in the drivers face, hurled the hugh black bulk, with a terrible effort, te the side of the railway. It fell with a crash aud the man fell with it. There was a second's pause, while the driver's heart stood still with terror. Then a jar—a thud—a deep scratch into the soil. A wheel was off the line ; they had mat with an accident.. For a moment or two the driver only knew that he was shaken up and hurt, but not se- verely. The engine had left the track and the carriages lay behind slightly shattered. He could see how it happened. Part of the pole in falling had rebounded on to the line. The base of the great timber had struck the near side wheel and sent it off the track in a vain effort to surmount it. But the brake had already slackened the pace and broken the force of the shook. The possible dam- age was very inconsiderable and they must +sok along the carriages and find. out who was hurt. And, above all things, what had become of the man. who had so nobly res. cued them? For the very first thing the en- gine driver had seen of Ughtred as the train stopped short was that the rna,n who Rung the pole from the tradk before the advanc- ing engine was knocked down by its ap- proach, while the train to all. appearance passed bodily over him. For good or evil, Ughtred had made his decision at last at the risk of his own lite. As the tiain, dashed on, with its living freight aboard his native, instinct of preserving life got the • better of him in spite of himself. He eouldn'tlet* those innocentsouls die by his own, act— though if he removed the pole and Netta was killed he didn't know himself bow he could ever outlive it. • He prayed with all his heart that the train might kill him. The guard and the driver ran hastily along the train. Nobody was hurt, though many were • shaken or badly. bruised. Even the carriages had escaped svith a few entail cracks. The Holinleiwyesmash was nothing very serious. . • But the man with the pole? Their Preser- ver their friend. Where was he 9,11 this time? What on earth had become of him ? • They looked along the line. They search- ed the track in Vain. He had disappeared as if by magic. Not a trace could be found of him. • - Atter looking long and u.selessly,egain,aed " Good -by, Mr. Carnegie," MAUI, faltered bas in obedience to her wishes though uch against his own Ughtred turned wly and remorsefully clown the footpath the right in the direction of the midway.

Till that second the idea had never even so much as occurred to him. In the first wild rash of horror at Nettaes situation he had thought only of her. He had regarded the engine only as a hateful, cruel, destruc- tive living being. He had forgotten the passengers, the stoker, the officials. He had been conscious only of Netta and of that once more easily. He had fallen on his back awful thing, breathing flame iend steam, that across the sleepers in the middle of the was rushing on to destroy her. For another track.

Only stop it, stop it. ound by the gate, just as the men had He didn't think of it et all at thee momone as a set of carriagesmontaining a precious Set of lives. He thought of it only as a horrible, cruel, devouring creature rush- ing headway on at full speed to Nette's destruction. It, was a senseless wild beast to be combated at all hazards. It was a hideous, ruthless, relentless thing, to be choked in its mad career in no matter what fashion. All he knew, indeed, wo.st, 'tha Netta—bis Netta—lay helpless on the track and that the engine, like some ntadman, pnffing and snorting with wild glee and savage exsultation, was hastening forward with fierce strides to crush and mangle her. At any risk he must stop it—swith any- thing—anyhow. —As be gazed aronnd him, horrorstruck, with blank inquiring Aare, and with this one fixed idea possessing his whole soul, Ughtred's eye happened to fall upon the dismanteled telegraph poste on which but rine minute before he hoed been sitting. The sight inspired him. Ha, ha ! a glorious chance. He could lift it on the line. He could lay it across the rails. He could turn it round into p1i:0e. He could upset the train. He could place it in- the way of that tuurderous engine. No sooner thought than done. With the wild energy of despair the youvg man lift- ed the small end of the ponderous post bodily up in Ms arms, and twisting it on She big base as on an earth -fast pivot, managed by main force and with a violent effort to lay it at last full in front of the advancing locomotive. How he did it, he never rightly knew himself, for the weight of the greet bulk wasesitnply enor- mous. • But horror and love and the awful idea that Netta's life was at stake seemed. to supply hire at once with unwontedenergy. He lifted 'it in his arms as would have lifted a child. and, straining in every limb, stretched it at, last full across both rails, a formidable obstacle before the 'approachingengine. . ft it at the end of the day's work. At e end where the foot -path crossed the line as a level crossing, and there Ughtred sat own on the fallen post by the side, half ncealed from view by a tall clump of wil- w herb, wahine(' patiently for Netta.'s ming. How he listened for that light ot-fall. His heart was full indeed, of all and bitterness. He loved her so dear- , and she had treated him so ill.

She never intend. ed the real tragedy thatwas soon to follow. She was only playing with her victim—only trying, woman-like, her power over Ugh- tred. So she sat there still, and cried and cried on, Minute after minute, in an ecstacy of misery, till the sunset began to glow deeper red in the western sky, and the bell to ring the curfew in Hohnbury tower.

An English correspondent writes; It has been spoken of as noteworthy of late that orators of Ulster and their English sympa- thizers have been less outspoken than for. merly 3m eclaring that the Ulster men would never submit to Irish Home Rule. An occasional outburst of that sort has hap- pened, but. as a rule there has been little talk about dying hi the last ditch rather than accept the new order of things. On She contrary, the text of most public speak- ers has been that if Horne Rule is carried Ulster will inapgurate a constitutional ag- itation for its repeal, and will meanwhile refuse to pay taxes to the officers of the home Government. From certain startling facts which your corrspondent has just discovered, however, it appears that this sudden moderation of speech is deceptive, and that thoughts of violence continue to animate tho people of Ulster. It is learned than the leaders are secretly and actively organizing for what will be, if entered upon, virtually a civil war. Every member of every Orange lodge in the province is pledged to provide himself with a ride and several hundred rounds of ammu- nition within a month after the date of the success of the Liberals at the general elec- tions should that party be victorious. Drill- ing in the use of fire -arms is carried on at every lodge meeting. The Orange police- men connive at this procedure, while no policeman who is not an Orangeman is al- lowed to get wind of what is going on. Your correspondent accidentally learned the facts in the case through a London financier, who on Saturday gave :6500 to the fund being raised for the purpose of buying arms i and nstructing local leaders in military tactics. This instruetion is being furnished in a curious manlier. The London volunteer force is utilized for the purpose. About a score of Ulster men arrive in London every week and join a selected regiment of volume, teers as ordinary recruits. This has beeu going on since about February lat. The plan is to give each batch about two month's training, when they resign and,return home to make room for others, and to themselves act as instructors of their patriots at. home The fund referred to is drawn upon for the expense of the journeys, and also for living expenses while in London; pravided the re- cruits cannot find employment, of some kind during their stay which Would aid in paying their board bills. The fund is also intended .to be used to transport to England any iso- lated Protestant families who may desire to make the change HI place of residence. The scheme is -so extensive, and is necessarily knitven to (30 many interested people, that it is not likely that it CUM be kept from the knowledge of the general public/much long- er.
