Isn't this to ba,a, now ! liere am I, Jack Marlin, chief 'engineer of the good ship Seuille.—au ocean sboarner plying between Liverpool and New York—dressing for my wedding, which is te take place m a few hours, to have a note brought to me, telling ma of the ehddeu. and dangerous illness of my assistant engineer and; tried friend, Torn Raggles. Whatever is done must be done quickly. I must go iminediately and see him. A few minutes' rapid walking brought me to his little home. I was soon beside the sick -bed of my friend. He did not even recognise me, and nay heart sank. A doc. tor had been summoned, and after examin- ing Tom said it would simply be impossible for him to go out with his vessel towaor. row. As I gripped the honestland of .my. com- rade and saw no look of recognition ia the fever -lit eyes, as his head rolled from side to side, my heart swelleciand I turned tewa,y with a sob, and my soul seat up an earnest prayer that we might yet take many a voy- age together. But no time was to be lost. I hurried to the home of Captain ?flooring and informed him of what had happened. Reheard the sad news with genuine regret, for Tom was a general favorite. " Yoveltnow. how sorry I am to hear this, Tack," sajdeOle captain, "but as it can't be helped, Why, Ws tacky it can be mended. Only a fest hours ago a very likely looking fellow came to me and asked me If I had a plaeo on board I could give him, at the same time showing me some excellent papers. I told him no, and he then said. he was willing to work his way as a common eciaman, or in any way I said. He seemed very anxious to ship with me. I'll send for him right away, and tell him to get ready to go with us to -morrow. But it's getting close on to your glancing time, Jack, and I see you are getting nervous—and who wouldn't? Go ahead, my hearty, and don% forget to tell Mita Kitty to save a km for P30. 1'11 follow yea as soon as I send this message. And the bluff, big-hearted old fellow gave me a. slap on my back and a shove towards the door. I went back to my lodgings, put the last splicing in my rigging, and was at my eweet- heare's house in good time. I won't try to describe my darling. to you. I'll only say she was oue of the fewest mud, sweetest girls in the kingdom. She was rather small, and her movements were as quiek and graceful RS fairy's. We had been sweethearts for years and, now at last we were to be mar - lea, and. Kitty was going aboard the Seville to -morrow, to take her bridal trip to Now York. The guests have arrived, the ceremony is performed the breakfast is partaken of, and Kitty—mine new forever—and I lead off the dance. At last the gueats are all gone, and Kitty and I are loft alone. She has gone into the next room for a moment, and I sit as ono M a happy, blissful dream, when suddenly she utters a. shriek. With bound I am at the door' where Kitty meets me and throws herselftrembling into my • arms. "What is the twitter, my darling ?" I aak tenderly, holding her close. "0 Jack. 1" she whispered, clinging to • sue, "1 saw him again just, now, standing at the evandow, and, he gave me the t terrible • ;ooki" • "Who ?" I asked. "Gaspard, Saronne," she replied. othered exclamation 1 plaeed fa and rushed out to find and mu who had friehtened her, ut he u vanished. 1 heel never seen this man, but Kitty had told me of him. He was a French seaman who had come to Liverpool during my last voyage had soon Kitty and fallen desperately in love with her, annoying her a great deal with his persistent and ardent attentions, until finally, Ise get rid of hum,shetold him of her approa,thing marriage. In a moment, she said, his Manner changed entirely, and he gave her a look which made her heart almost stop beating., and, catching her by the wrist he bent his head and hissed Inbar car: "1 swear to you that you shall never merry another. Remember that 1" The next moment he turned away and was gone, and when, a few days later, Kitty heard that his vessel had left Liver- pool, she hoped she had seen the last of him, And here he had come like an evil spirit to mar the happiness of her wedding night. soothed her like a child, and after awhile she seemed almost to have forgotten her fright 11. I was on board, the Seville early the next morning and saw that everything was all Weglifand runningsmoothly below. My new assistant had not yet put in his appearance when I went on shore again to get Kitty. As we came on board she grasped my arm with painful force, and looking down into her face I saw that it was very pale, and sbe pointed nervously across the vessel and whispered: "There he is now, Jack; there he is !" "Who?" Indeed. "Gaspard Saronne, " she faltered. I looked quickly in the diiecbion she pointed, and saw, leaning against the rail Of the vessel, apparently looking out across the water, a striking -looking man—tall, dark, and handsome. He was as fine a specimen of physical manhood as I had even seen, as he stood there with his arms fold- ed wrest' Ks breast, apparently taking no heed of anything passing around. "I will take you to your room and come back and find out what he is doing here, sweetheart, " I said. As I came on deck again I met Ornatitin Mooring, who said to me: "Here, Jack, I was just looking for you to introduce you to your new assistant," and leading the way to were the motion- less figure stood said: "Mr. •Saronne, this is my chief engineer, Mr. Marlin. I hope you two geatlemen will pull together nice. Was it because of what Kitty had told me that I felt such a repugnance to this man; that as I shook his nand I felt as !bough I had caught hold of a serpent; that as I looked into his dark. eyes I felt as mo might feel who look sinto some dark, foul pool which bag connected. with it the story of a crime? No; I felt as though this had nothing to do with it. But I mastered toy feelings and gave no sign. It was too sate now, and I would make the most of it, After all, it might be only prejudice. We went together to the engine -room, and I soon 'discovered that be understood, %is duties thoroughly. Fie strove to make efinself agreeable, and when I went back to KittyI was almost ashamed of my first feel- inge. I attempted to reassure her, but she seemed ill at ease, and again and again ex- pressed her regret thab Saronne should have been taken on board with as. All went well with us, beeteeeer, and the . following night, about tea o'clock, I went dews' to make my rounds of the engine - room. Saronne accompanied me, and whets we had made the rounds of the upp r rooms he suggested that we go'doven in to the lower. We accordingly went. Leading the way to the far end of the dark room with alantern, he paused and asked inc if I did not think a certain piston was running rather heavily. 1 listened, and, told him I thought it did, and asked hint for the lantern, that I might examine it. De was near the floor, and bad to stoop to see it. I Jamul it needed oiling badly and said so, at the same time asking where 13111 Stone was. I glanced UJ) into the face of my conmenion as 1 asked the question, and the blood, thrilled to me heart in. A tide. He was bending over ine and the look in his eyes was like that of a basilisk. Never before had I seen such a look on a. human face, and I pray I never may again. I strove to rise, but his hands were at my throat, and, as he bore me to the floor, he hissed e " 13111 Stone and the others have been drinking to the health and happiness of you. and your bride, and 1 pat something in their grog that will znak.e them sleep until they and all the rest of you wake up in another country !" e As lie spoke, he laughed a wild, blood - muffling laugh, and his fingers seemed, to bury themselves in my flesh. In vain I struggled with superhuman strength. He was more than a match for me on equal terms, and he had Mimi Inc ab a disadvant- age. I struck him in the face agaiii and again, but his fingers only tightened their clap, and, viththat fiendish, maniacal laugh ringing in my ears, I lost consciousness. I was restored by having water dashed in roy face. On opening my eyes and looking around I found myself lying in almost the same spot where I lay before. I was bound nand and foot and gagged, and eller°, stand- ing in front of me, with a diabolical look of triumph on his face holding a bucket in his hand, was Gaspard Seronne. " Excuee me for reviving you so rudely," he said, with a mock bow, " but I did not want yen to lose count of what was passing; I knew you would enjoy it. And now I'll proceed to .how you whet nay programme Is. 1 have so arranged that gradually the boiler will be emptied, aboub which time cold water will pour in, a slight explosion will follow, and the sides of the veesel will be blown out like the sides of an old tub, and every soul on board except Kitty and myself will sink to the bottom. I'm rather sorra that Kitty made it neceasary for me to di; this," he went on, holding his head. on one side and looking at me with ft leer, "but Iwarned her against marryiug you, and Gaspard. Saronne is always as good as his word. I have drugged the stokers and. several others who might have given me trouble, and now the way is clear. It will be a grand sight to see this slap blow up, and Kitty and 1 will enjoy it from our boat several miles off. And now I'll put you in closer quarters. I only wanted to give you the pleasure of hearing what I intended to do," And taking held of my feet he dragged Inc to one side of the room, opened the door of the lumber closet, where tools, oil -cans, tn., were kept, and threw me in. 111. As the mean= closed the door, and the horror of it all rushed upon no, I fainted. How long 1 remeined so I do not know. When I regained consciousness I tried to sit up. I managed to get upon my knees, and prayed as I never prayed before. In my agony I raised my hands above my head, and as I did so they struck against a piece of revolving shafting which extended into theoloeet, and cisme an coutact with a strong iron pully attachecl to it and which connected with the machinery outside. My knuckle struck against tho edge of this little wheel and was slightly oat. Like a flash from heaven, 11 came to me that this was my means of deliverance, not only for myself—that seemed almost a small matter now—but for my darling and the scores of souls on board. My wrists were tightly bound with a small, strong cord, which was already beginning to out into the flesh. I pressed this cord, stead- ily and firmly against the rapidly revolving wheel. In a few moments so much heat, was generated by the friction that I was compelled to remove it. Again and again I pressed the oord to the edge of the wheel, and after what ap- peared to me to be hours, but which was really only a few minutes, the cord snapped with the strain I put upon it, and my lianas were free. I quickly removed the gag from my mouth, and with my penknife cut the chords which bound my ankles and rose to my feet. Holding my little knife in one hand.. I groped M the dark until I found a hammer, andand then felt for the latch of the door. Finding it, I lifted it pushed the door. It was locked—secured with a stock lock on my aide. This I struck off N,vitli several heavy blows of the hammer, dashed the door open and stood again in the engine -room, fully expecting the madman t spring upon me as I did so. But he was gone. Oaly the throbbing of the greet machinery kept time to thethrobbing of my heart. My knees trembled as I hurried to the spot where Gaspard had shown me his devil -sug- gested arrangement for the destruction of the vessel. Already I heard that peculiar sound made by the gauge cook, which told of danger. My hand trembled so I could scarcely do what was necessary to save the ship, and when it was done I staggered to a seat aud fell M it almost fainting. But in a moment I recovered, and rushed towards the stairway leading to the deck. Even now I might be too late. The maniac might have murdered Kitty or left the vessel with her. As I mounted the last step on to the deck I saw a dark form passing rapidly towards the bow of the boat. The moon was shining, partly obscured by clouds, but I could see that it was the form of a man with some burden in his arms. As my eyes became more accustomed to the light I sew that it was the figure of evoinan he was carrying, and I felt that it, was Saronne with Kitty in his earns, pre- paring to leave the vessel. With a wild cry I rushed towards him. He had just reached the foremast when my cry reaohed him. He turned, saw me coming, wheeled quickly, and with the .apparently lifeless form of Kitty on one arm, mounted the ladder, and was ab the cross -tree before I reached the foot of the mast. Mad with rage and fear for Kibby I began to mount the ladder, when suddenly it fell upon me to the deck. Springing to ray feet I looked up and saw the madman flourish - a gleaming knife in his band, with which he had severed the ropes, and laughing that wild, mad laugh. , Several persons had been roused by my cry-, and soon a circle had formed about the foot of the mast. Among the first was Captain Mooring, whom I told in as few words as possible all that had passed. I was almost wild wibh fear. Kitty had not spoken a word and had shown no signs of life. .Had the fiend murdered her? - "Kitty 1" I cried. " Kitty, my darling, speak to me 1" ' As though my frantic appeal 'had roused her, she stirred and moaned, and then; as coneciousnese returned, she atretelied her arnis towards me and begged me to save her. I rushed to tne mast and throwing my arras about it, attempted to climb up, when Saronne said "If any man attempts to come lip here I will plunge this knife in her heart 1" I staggered, back with a groan. "Capbain 1" I cried, wildly, "save my darling for me. Save her 1" "We will savener, Jack," he said sooth. ingly. "Never fear." - The madman laughed again. "Ia any ODe in this company a good. enough shot to shoot that fellow without fear of striking Mrs, Narilo ?" asked the Captain, turning to those about him. There was no reply, and I shrank from the idea svith a shudder. The minutes drag- ged heevily aa, as various miggestioust were offered. After that first appeal to me Kitty had remained very quiet, and ouly when the noon shone out brightly from behind clouds, I could see her looking at me with a world of love in her sweet eyes. Finally Saronne grew weary of one posi- tion, and in order to move, looseued his hold of Kitty. That was the element she had been praying for, With one quick movement ahe caught a rope and was glid- ing towards the deck. Saronne turned, saw whet had happened, and with a. terrible cry severed the rope with one powerful sweep of tee knife. But too late. I had seen it all end was standing tinder my darling. She was almost within reach when he ant the rope, and as she fell1 caught her safely in my arms. ThenI hoard some one yell. "Look out he's coining 1" I looked up end saw that &mune had caught another rope, and, with the knife between his teeth, was rapidly nearing the deck. To put Kitty behind ma and catcall up the hammer which had fallea was the work of an instant. But even as I drew back to strike him, the reporb of a pistol sounded, and Saronne strack the deck on his feet, bounded like a ball and fell at full length, the blood spouting from his breast. Be strove to rale, as he fixed an me one of his terrible looks, but fell back and died without a groan. We afterwerds learned that Saronne had been for several years an inmate of a luna- tic asylum in France, but ha,d been pro- nounced cured and been released. 4Vhen we returned to Liverpool, my old friend, Tom Ruggles, was the first man to step on board, and since then we have taken many a voyage together. Years have passed eine° that awfulnight, and Kitty and 1 aro approaching our last haven, but she never hears it mentioned without shuddering. She had retired and was asleep when the madman came into our cabin and chloroforme(1 ber and carded her out, and my voice, as I spoke te her, was the first sound she had heard. And she carries yet scars in the palm of her hand from whieh the skin was torn as she came down the rope. HOW IT FEE LS TO BE BURIED. The Sensationo r n il—ta—nWhe lay for Three Moues in. Ills Grave. " wager the wine there is not a gentle- man present who eau mess within ten years of any age," said Calym S. 1?reetnan, who sat talking. with some fellow travelling men in St. Lotus, tbe other day. The guesses ran all the way from 48 to 65, "1 am just, 24 years old," said Mr. Free- man. "1 was born in 1S58. I grew old hi a day. I have passed through the numb ter- rible ordeal to which a mortal eves ever sub- jected—I was buried alive and lay in tho grave, with six feet of earth on top of me, for nearly throe hours. That was at Edinburgh, Scotland, nearly nine years ago. I was born it that city. At the age of 24 I married a girl who had been my playmate in child- hood. A year later X was taken sick, and, after an illness of but two days, was pro- nounced dead, and preparations were made for my burial. "I was as conscious as at this momen t, but unable to speak or move a muscle. A great weight seemed to lie on my chest and eyelids. All that night and until 10 o'clo alc nexbday I lay with a cloth over my face, listening to the preparations for my inter- ment. At that hour I was placed in a coffin the funeral services were read, and I was ennsignod to the grave. There was no stifling sensation, for I bad ceased to breathe but the black loneliness of those hours haunts me day and night. I felt that I would come out of the trance state before death ensud, wc.uld slowly smother to death, and the thought added horror to my situation. Iliad read of graves being open- ed where people had been buried alive, and how they had torn their flesh with their nails and turned over in their coffins in a mad struggle for air. I wondered if there was any way by which I could quietly de- stroy myself when nature asserted its sway. F,very hour seemed to me as days. It was Tnesday when I was buried, and I fancied I could hear the Sunday chimes of the church which stood. a few yards distant. I wondered who my neighbor was ou the right and who on the left, and if they, too were buried alive. I wondered if there really was such a thing as death, or if I was to lie conscious in that prison forever. " Suddenly I felt a muscle twitch. It is coming now, I thought. A minute more and I will be ebruggling for breath. I felt a faint flatter at the heart I gave a little gasp, and the air seemed freighted with lead. I tried to breathe, bob it was like drawing fetid water into my lungs. I had resolved not to move a muscle, to die with my hands folded en my breast; so that if my body was ever taken up my friends would not anspect the awful truth, but I could not lie still. The struggle began, and I fought in my narrow prison house as a man fights on/leder life. Horrible as it was, I seemed to hear my'wife's voice ringing in my ears. It was a cry of agony. I tried to answer it, but could not. "A succession of thnuder peals shook my prison house. It was the heavy blows of axes breaking open the box which contain. ed the coffin. I moment later I was lying on the churchyard swar& in my wife's arms. After my interment she conceived the notion that I had been buried alive, and, to quiet her fears the grave was opened. I went into the grave a young man, and came out aged, as you .see me A Sad Thought. Uncle Mose mob the Rev. Whangdoodle Baxter of the Blue Light Baptist Taber- nacle.

A big engineering feat was accomplished on Sunday night in the piercing of the Totley Tunnel, on the Dore and Chinley Railway, a new line on the Midland system to connect Sheffield with Manchester. The tunnel, with the exception of that which crosses the Severn, is the longest in England( being a little more thaxi three and a half" miles long. More than a thousand men have been working in it for the last four year amidst difficulties which were almost insurmountable, mainly caused by the pres- ence of immense quantities of water.
