A RAILWAY
M KNIGHT ERRANT.
The Chicago bpeolal too re en unusual
ly eavy load that day.
Vacation was over, and 'homeward
travel had begun. There was not a sin
gle empty seat in any of the four sleep
ers and ait each atop there were new
demands for 'berths. ,
Spirited conversations between the
Wagner con'duator and Irate passen
gers who had failed to bespeak their
bui'uui, were frequent, and the last
be:'th, the upper one in tihe rear car,
reserved for the conductor himself, had
just been, given up .to a flurried, all
Important personage who had Insisted
on ihis right .to a whole section.
So now things began to quiet down
Tiie passengers unbent from their dig
nity and begain to compare vacation
notes; itlhe men betook themselves to
the smoking compartment and the
train boy ceased for a -while, his Jour
neys through the cars, offering hit
wares of candy, gum, books and mag
azines. Trade tttils side of Niagara , didn't
amount to much. He ihad learned that
by experience.
At first magazines sold pretty well-
but the real demand did not come unil!
after they had passed the suspension
bridge and the stop at the Falls station
made. Then was the time to offer sou
venirs of Niagara for sale.
Indeed, Dan knew about how many
copies he would sell.
A few months' experience on the
train had given him a pretty, keen In-
eight Into 'the habits and desires of
his passengers.
At a glance he could tell who would
and who would not buy of him, and
just what woman needed a little per
suasion and a -pleasant emile to induce
a purchase.
In fact, Dan's smile was a valuable
part of his stock in trade and he used
it to advantage, for It was a pleasant
smile and it made the round, freckled
face very winning.
He was sorting over his books now,
preparatory to one more trip through
the cars before offering peanuts and
candy again, when the train drew up
at a dingy, .dilapidated station. They
were stopping for water he knew, and
he went on (the platform and Jumped to
the ground.
It was a relief after the rocking train
Much to his surprise he found the
conductor in earnest conversation with
two women.
"Oh, but you just -must take her some
how," he heard the younger of tlit
women exclaim in a distressed voice.
"Yoff see, Ohere ain't any other way
to send her, and her mother expects her
sure, and she'll be at the station to
take her off, and she'll be a real good
girl, and won't trouble you one bit,
won't you, Bessie?"
Here she pulled forward a little blue
eyed girl, and the conductor's eyes
rested thoughtfully on tier.
Dan drew near-be was interested tc
know what the conductor would do.
"they'll be most crazy If she don't
come," added the other woman. "And
It will put them out dreadful, 'cause
they've got to start right off for Col
orado." A sharp whistle recalled the con
ductor, and he put one foot on the Steps
of .tihe car and Btood watch in hand
ready to give the signal.
"Say, I'll kinder keep an eye on the
kid if that's all you want," Dan said
awkwardly to the woman. "Don't know
much about children, bin I guess some
of the women will tend to her?" Hi
gave an inquiring glance at the con
ductor. "All right I'm willing jump aboard
will you, we're !ate now," and the con
ductor waved his 'hand.
Can seized the child and placed her
lightly on the platform and the trail
began to move. Te listened to the part
irg directions of the -two women, and
then threw back the silver half dollai
one of them tried to slip Into his hand
wflJh a toss of his head, as he shouted
"I ain't no porter, and I'm doing thl
to oblige you."
Then he held the child tightly a;
the waved her tiny handkerchief till
the station was a mere speck in th,
distance.
Then he took her in tlie car and let'
her to amuse hers-alf with tihe rolls oi
lozenges, while he made a trip through
the other cars. By the time he had
g.i-t back she bad made friends with
lady across the aisle, who offered tc
share har berth with the child, and
before thj afternoon was over, she wai
playing games all over the car, and to
Dan's, intense amusement, she Insisted
on eating supper with the man who
had made the greatest fuss over hie
benih, but -Who, Bessie insisted, "Look
ed Just like grandba."
So Dan only kept a general oversight
of the child and finally, when she dis
appeared behind the heavy curtains of
the bcrtlh, with a childish "godd nightie
everybody," that In eluded the whole
car, he went tlack to the day coach
and curled up on a hard seat to sleep.
He slept soundly, for the day had
been a tiresome one, but after a while
he began to dream. He thought that
Bessie had dhewed gum until she grew
smaller and smaller and finally was
nothing but one of the prizes In the
bags of pop corn, a little sugar image
which be was about to eat when
Crash!
Dan was awake now. In an Instant
he was rushing toward the sleeper.
Somethln? dreadful bad happened! The
train fftiook and shivered and swayed,
There was a second crash, and a tear
lug soind, and the end of the car was
torn off, and a cloud of steam rushed
In and about him.
The eirrk threw him off his feet but
he crawled on. He must reach the
sleeper. There was Bessie. He had
promised to take care of r.
What would he say to the mother If
she were killed?
Yet it ri'!v wan't Ms fai't.
Would he never get to the end of
the car?
It seemed a:es before he reached the
platform, and his hand grasped the
twisted brakes. Overturned! on the,
track 'before him Iwfcs the sleepar. The '
dim gray light of early morning Just'
showed Its outlines. Fortlher than that
he couM not sec. 1
(He Jumped from the platform and
landed on the upturned side of the car.
He could hear cries Inalde, and
through one of the windows a head
was (thrust. With his heels he broke
the glass of itfhe window nearest him
then he crawled to the next, and the
next, breaking each In turn, till final
ly he reached (the fourth.
This was where Bessie (was.
Here (he crawled In, but there was
no one In the berth.
It was .lighter now. The sun must
have come up very quickly.
Then a smeH of smoke revealed the
cause. The broken lamp at the end of
the car had set the bedding on fire.
The flames were spreading fast.
Through the broken windows people
were rushing, men and women, and
there were groans and shrieks on all
sides.
But he could see inortJhtag of Bessie.
Could he have been mistaken in the
oat?
Suddenly from beneath a pile of
otoihlng he saw a tiny hand thrust out
and he heard a stifled cry.
ilagerly he pushed aside the heavy
blankets and -pulled the child out. By
the light of the flames now rapidly
noa-nlng 'them, he could see how white
she looked, and her eyes were closed.
Oould he 'be too (late?
He tried to climb out of the window,
but the seat on which he stood, broken
by the crash, fell beneath his weight,
and he was thrown back Into the car.
Ha struck heavily and there was a
sharp pain tn his head, and If title Bes
sie almost fell from his arms.
He seized 'the broken bell rope that
hung from tts rings, and placing the
child on his 'back, bound the cord round
and round, thus binding the child tight-!
ly to him.
Then he tried a second time to gain '
the window. This time there was a
hand held down to help him, and in
a moment he felt the sodt grass be.
neath Mm, and ithere Was a sudden
movement of the Mttle body pressed
close to him.
There was a terrible whirring sound
in -his ears, and the blackest night
seemed to settle over everything and
he (became unconscious.
News of the disaster traveled fast,
and when the train bearing the wrack
ed passengers drew Into Detroit thert
were hundreds of anxious friends In
quiring for dear one. Strong men
were crying and faces were white with
terror as they listened to the story of j
the dreadful collision.
In one cornier, faluil and weary, sat a
ead-faced mother, while her husband
wandered hllther and thither in Vain
search for then- child.
"A little girl wtth blue eyes?" re
peated one of the passengers after him.
"Let me see, there was one tout,
here, pouter, perhaps you can tell the
gentleman," and -the passenger hasten
ed away.
"There was one child killed, Bir," the
porter replied, slowly.
"I hope It ainH yours, I'm sure. Just
step his way, please."
He turned to do so with tears blind
ing his eyes, but a tiny hand caught
hold of IMs coat, and a child cried,
"Don't run away, -papa ain't you glad
to see Bessie?"
"I told the ladles I would see that
she got to you safe," Dan explained as
they were being driven to Bessie's
home.
"And when we was struck, I knew
ther want no one else to kV out for
her, special, so I made straight for
her and we managed to get out some
how, didn't we, Bess?"
Dan stroked the silky hair of the
ohlld and smiled at her with lips that
trembled.
Even now his head was dizzy and
there were queer pains running through
his body.
"Yes," cried "Beanie, with a happy
laugh. fl If recalling some p'easant
time. "It was awful funny arolng to
sleeD In those funny boxes with cur
tains: then I woke up and was under
a rmt bl heap of blankets.

and all his lovely candy got burnt up
to nothing, and I Just fhmk you ought

Her sweet face was upturned and her
Hiand was slipped irtto Dan's and he
hastily swallowed a big flump In his
throat as he muttered:
"I didn't do nothing."
MONGOLIAN MERCHANTS.
Eight Copper-Colored Business Man
Were Landed Yesterday from the
Signal.
Yesterday the tramp steamer Signal
went to the Holy rood dock and com
menced discharging' her cargo of rice
and other Chinese merchandise. Her
passenger list of 31 Mongolians, two of
whom were females, were all on hand,
spruced up like the merchant (?) kings
they are, and ready for the onslaught
of Deputy Collector Hamilton and Im
migrant Inspector Shaw. These gen
tlemen showed up during the early
morning hours, and at 10 o'clock began
the examination. A number of reputa
ble business men were on hand and
identified the Celestials, eight of whom

compelled to return with the steamer
to Victoria, unless they can manage to
slip into the river and swim ashore be
fore the boat leaves out for foreign
shores.
An Interesting sight was presented
-,n the wharf when two score of China
men congregated and silently watched
the proceedings. They displayed even
more anxiety than those on board the
steamer who were seeking admission t
Uncle Sam's domain. The inspector
had trouble keeping the mob back
from that portion of the vessel where
the candidates for admission wert
standing, but otherwise there was ru
difficulty with the spectators.
NOTED VOICES.
John Randolph had a Bqueaklng voice
that detracted not a little from the
effect of bis speeches. When he became
angry, as he generally did before he
got through with a speech, he fairly
Shrieked In wrath.
Moore could "sing like an angel." . He
sang his own love songs with such
effect that a lady friend once stopped
him in the midst of one of his best
efforts. "Please stop, Mr. Moore; this
Is not good for my soul."
Stenitor, from whom we have thi
word stenitorian, was a Greek herald In
the Arojain war, famous for his tremen
dous voice. Homer says he was "great
hearted, brazen-voiced, and could shout
as loudf as fifty men."
Stephen A. Douglass had a magnifi
cent bass voice that would have made
his fortune on the opera stage. The
manner in which he bellowed forth
"Fellow Citizens," at the beginning of
a speech was never equalled by any
public speaker.
Calhoun's voice was sharp, rasping,
and not pleasant to hear. His gesticu
lations were rapid and far from grace
ful, and he had a way of emphasizing
a point by Jerking his tall .body back
wards in a most active and Inelegant
way.
Beecher generally spoke In a conver
sational tone, with no great effort ar
what la commonly denomlnatled orato
ry. When he rose to a climax, how
ever, his voice was equal to any emer
gency, but even his loudest tones seem
ed to cause htm Mttle effort.
John Chrysosltom, or John the Gold
enmoufhed, was the patriarch of Con.
stintlnople In the latter part of the
fourth century. He won his title from
the pleasing charactter of his oratory,
which appealed more to the feellngi
than to the reason.
Lincoln had a kindly voice that at
tracted all who heard t. Even In pub
lic efforts he rarely spoke in a loud
tone, but the dlrftinotness of his articu
lation caused him to be heard and un
derstood batter than were some speak
ers wtth louder voices.
Frederick William, the father of Fred
erlck the Great, was slightly deaf, and
generally conversed in a yelL Although
profesetng to be pious, he often lapsed
Into profanfty In conversation and com
monly ended an argument by cursing
his opponent.
Son tag so pleased the people when
ever she sung that at one place In
Germany the mob, after taking out the
horses and drawing her carriage In
triumph from the suburbs to her hotel
went to the further ex-traviga.no of
breaking the carriage In piece so that
no one should ever ride In It again.
