cement, still encircled by tho iron hoops
which once upheld the drawbridge.
During my stay at the baths much oxcrciso
was recommended mo ns being conducivo to
my physical improvement. Impelled by this
motive, or perhaps by one of curiosity, I
often followed the rugged path which led to
tho ruins of the Arabian fortress, and thcro
uipent hours carefully examining tho soil, in
3iopes of lluding somu old armor, sounding
tho walls to ascertain whether they were
Jiollow, or to discover tho hiding place of
some, forgotten treasure; searching in every
corner with the anticipation of seeing tho
entrance of some of those famous subterra

was busy trimming one of tho vines growing
on tho roadside, 1 approached him under the

When at last tho conversation fell upon

Throut;h tho information given by this
good man I ciitno to tho knowledge that con
cerning tho Arabian castlo and tho cavo
communicating with it there was a history,
iidns 1 am partial to traditions, especially
when coming from the Hps of tho natives, I

those, which I will use iu tolling it to my

When tho castlo, of which now only re
dlining a mass of shapeless ruins, was yet held

overhung tho valley made fertile by tho
waters of tho Albania, there occurred iu tho
vicinity of tho city of I'lteru n bloody battle,
In which fell wounded nnd prisoner of tho
Abrubs a famous Christian cavalier, equally
us worthy of renown for his piety as for his
military valor. Ho was l.xl to tho fortress

Ids kindred redeemed him by force of gold,
Tho captlvo returned to ills hearth; returned

knlglit W.H ft yearning to rcrengo hlnwlf of
nil that tho Arabs hail made him suffer dur
ing his captivity.
The real cause of tho enterprise, however,
did r.ot once occur to any. Who, indeed,
woulJ have thought that nn exw.Hlitiou in
wh i so many valiant Christians j;rishcd
was to help toward the gratification of nn
unworthy passion.
The knight became intoxicated with tho
2ovo which h had escitl in tho breast of
the beautiful Moor, and neither lent nn ear
t' the counsels of his friends, nor heeded tho
murmurs and complaints of his di'heartcned
s-tl lier. In vain did they plead with their
communder to leave the walls, ns it was
rro'wble the Arabs would attack them with
great force ns pooii ns they recovered from
their panic, I:idd. it happened just ns they
had predicted. The Moorish chief gathered
men from nil the adjoining towns.
One morning the sentinel who was on duty
tip in the watch tiwer hurried flown to warn
the lovers that throughout tho mountains, tu
far ns the eye could reach, leyond the .rocks,
a cloud of warriors were fast approaching
tho fortress, nnd well might it lie supposed
that Moordom in a body was about to fall
upon the catle. The daughter of the chief
on hearing this turned as jialo as death. Tho
knight in n loud voice called for his arms,
nnd nil was astir in tho camp. Tho soldier?
rished out In a tumult from their quarters,
tho chiefs pave their orders, tho Krtcullises
were lowered, the drawbridge raised ami tho
towers were crowded with archers.
A few hours later the assault began: tho
catle with justice might well 1k called im
pregnable. Only by storm could the Chris
tians mnkn themselves mnsters of it, only by
storm could it lw taken from them. Its de
fenders ivsisf-vl from ono to ten assaults.
Tho Moors then changed their tactics, sur
rounded tho fort, nnd resolved to force the
besieged to surrender by fnmine.
Famine eventually made horrible ravages
nninng the Christians, still they yielded not,
end tho-e who had most bitterly reproved
the conduct of their leader, knowing that his
lifo and honor were nt stake, sworo to crish
iu his defense. Tho Moors impatient for
suecexs, resolved upon n midnight nttnek,
which proved to bo a furious one. Tho re
sMnneo was drsnerate, tho shock terrible.
Darin" tho frav, the Moorish chief, with
bro-r ft open by nn ax stroke, fell into tho
nv'it below from the tower heights which he
had scaled. At the same time tho knight,
who had just encountered him in n hand to
hand fteht. fell mortally wounded.
The Christians wavered and retreated. As
quick- ns thought the Moorish girl rushed
to her lover who lay dying on tho ground,
nnd Ixmding over him, seized him in her
nrms. Impelled by n su)ornntural forco
which came to her with dospnir and tho re
alization of danger, sho dragged him to tho
court. Th?re sho pressed upon a hidden
spring, nnd through the opening which was
thus dicl sed in tho rock sho soon disap
peared within, carrying with her her precious
charge and proceeded in her descent until
she reached the bottom ot the cave.
"When the knight returned to his senses ho
cast about him a look full of ljuwildercd sur
prise, nnd cried, "I am thirsty I I am burn
ing! Dying!" nnd then fell into that de
lirium which is so often tho precursor of
death. From his parched lips, through
which wheezed hU scanty breathing, only
enmo these, words: "I nm thirsty! Water!
water! water!''
Tho girl knew that her subterranean re
treat had nn exit lending to tho valley,
through which Hows tho river. This valley
and it.s vicinity wero closely guarded by tho
Arabs, who, after having taken possession of
tho fortress, wero on tho nlert for tho
Christian chief and his lady love, wishing to
slake iu their blood their thirst for exter
mination, However, tho Iwautiful Moor hesitated not
a moment. Taking tho helmet of tho flying
man, sho glided like a shadow through tho
thick shrubliery which covered tho mouth of
tho cavo and noiselessly stolo down to tho
river bank. Already had sho taken tho
water; nlrendy was sho hastening back to tho
side of her lover, when there resounded a
whistle, nml a cry of anguish was heard. Tho
Moorish warriors who wero on guard around
the fortress had dispatched their arrows in
tho direction where tho foliage seemed to
move. Tho lienutiful, bravo girl, wounded
unto death, dragged herself to tho mouth of
tho cavo; then soon joined her lord.
He, on seeing her thus bathed in her own
blood, recovered oonsiiousness, and in that
short moment recognized the hldeousness of
tho sin ho was so cruelly expiating. Raising
his eyes to heaven, ho took tho water which
Ills beloved handed him, nnd without carry
ing it to his Hps asked of her: "Wouldst thou
bo a Christian) Dost thou wish to bo of
my faith, ami if I Imj saved, bo saved with
mo!" Tho Moorish girl, who hud fallen to
tho ground fainting through loss of blood,
made a slightly acquiescent motion with her
shapely head, upon which tho knight jioured
the regenerating waters of liaptlsm, at tho
same t imo invoking tho namo of tho All
powerful. Ou tho following day the very soldiers who
hail struck the fatal blow saw traces of blood
from tho river bank to tho cavo wherein thoy
found the IkhIIcs of the Christian chief and
tho Moorish girl; and she it is who still
comes iu tho dead of night to wander in lone
liness about tho old fortress of Fitero. Trans

As Frank Repp, tho engineer of tho
Perlriomen mail train which readies Al
Icntovm early in the morning, looked out
of his cab window on his morning trip
June 2 ho saw a beautiful young woman
approaching on the track. He whistled
an alarm, and &ho stepped lightly and
gayly off the track his train was travel
ing to the other track.
But it was evident to the engineer that
tho noise of his train had drowned tho
roar of another train approaching from
behind her in tho opposite direction, and
that she was unaware of her peril. He
noted tho several puffs of wlute smoke
that swiftly aroso from tho locomotive
bearing down upon her, but she evidently
heard not the whistle's frequent warning
of danger. Repp saw her death was cer
tain unless ho could in some way attract
her attention to her peril. Ho waved
his hand to her warningly, but sho evi
dently misunderstood its meaning, for
she slackened her pace, looking at him
more earnestly.
He immediately reversed the lover and
turned on the steam brakes with a sud
denness that alarmed the passengers. Ho
sprang to tho side door of the cab, nnd
before his locomotive had como to a
standstill ho leaped to tho opposite track
just as his engine got abreast of the
young woman and the other locomotive
had almost reached her.
With herculean strength and light
ning swiftness ho caught her up bodily
and leaped with her beyond the tracks
just ns tho other engine swept by. Then
ho sank to tho ground, overcome by the
effort nnd tho narrowness of their es-
' cape. The passengers wero loud in their
praises cf his heroic conduct, and the
young woman was nlmost prostrated
with shock, while overcome with grati-
, tudo at the noblo conduct of her pre-
server. Cor. Philadelphia Inquirer.

j The twenty-four hour system is likely
to come before many years. According
, to tho inquiries of a committee of tho
American Society of Civil Engineers, it
apiea:'n tliat no less than 88-1 officers,
presidents, superintendents, engineers,
etc., representing fully 135,000 miles of
, railroad, expressed themselves in favor
of tho change. The report says that in
all between 500 and 000 prominent men
in every section of tho country havo
I answered tho committee's questions on
! the subject and of these only an ex
tremely small percentage havo opposed
1 tho change. During 1839, 207 replies
wero received, of which 220 wero favor
able and 17 unfavorable. As to tho
1 time of making tho change, 27 of tho
220 persons who gave a favorable answer
named 1892, whilo 03 chooso 1891, and
, 91 favored 1890. There wero 30 who
gave no time, and the report suggests
that these would go with tho majority
nnd make a heavy preponderance of
