It will always he a wild and lonely spot, j After blasting out the roadbed we had to build miles of snow sheds and bore three tunuels. When we got at the work, we put on men as thick as they could stand and handle tools, and wherever there was a spot on which a tent or shanty could be erecte^ it was utilized. When Tunnel No. 1 was 212 feet along, we had only about 60 men living on the ground. The rest of them were boarding and sleeping on the cars fitted up for the purpose or in tents and shanties at a side track four miles below us. It seemed as if a dozen different nations were represented among the workmen, and I know for a fact that some of them were bad ones. You must have your telegraph line as fast as the roadbed is made, for the gangs at the front are in communication with headquarters. Each day, until we began at Tunnel No. 1, our telegraph line kept pace with the workmen, but there it stopped for some weeks. The operator had been obliged to live like a hunter or prospector, and his health gave way under the exposure. When it was rumored that he was going to leave us,

THEY SEIZED THE OIRL. the order came to build a shanty at the month of the tunnel, and it was hardly finished when a young woman about 20 years of age took his place. I never knew why Miss Clafflin, as we came to know her name, was sent out to us as an operator, but I expect her head was filled with romantic notions, and she had a friend among the management who was foolish enough to further her plans. We built her a two room shanty of logs and rocks, put in the telegraph apparatus, a cot bed, a couple of stools and a water pail, and one day she came up on the construction train and took possession of the ClafHin house, as the boys quickly named it. As fast as the tunnel was excavated a temporary track was put down, ami Hat cars were pushed in to be loaded and then pushed out again. The rock and dirt brought :mt were dumped in a ravine to the right of the track only 100 feet away. After MissClafilin had been with us six weeks there were men in the tunnel who had not yet caught sight of her, so closely had she kept herself. That didn't prevent her name and personal appearance from being known and generally discussed, however, and there were men who criticised her rather harshly without meaning to be personal about it. One of the number was a driller named Thomas, who had come from Pennsylvania. He was a middle aged man, a valued employee and was regarded favorably by all who came in contact with him. I rather think he conceived a great admiration for Miss Clafttin and became jealous of her, though it was seldom that he got to even see her, and Tm sure she scarcely knew him by name. This was exactly the same state of affairs with the engineer of the construction train, who was a young man named Haskell. It was what they call love at first sight, but a very one sided affair. How these two men discovered how each other felt toward Miss ClafHin I don’t know, but they did make the discovery by and by, and thereby hangs the tale. At noontime all the men came out of the tunnel to eat their dinners in the open air. and one day it happened that Thomas and Haskell were thrown together. Something was said about Miss Clafflin by somebody, both men fired up, and the first tiling anybody knew they were fighting like two wild beasts. After that they were called “the rivals,” and the gang had many a joke at their expense. The young woman was bound to hear of the affair, and it was her surprise and disgust that satisfied me she had no feeling for either. She was less friendly with all of us and kept herself more secluded after that, and I think she sent in her resignation, though it was not accepted. In time the gang was divided in sentiment. The railroad men favored the engineer, and the drillers, blasters and diggers arrayed themselves on the side of Thomas, and though you will hardly credit me it is true that dozens of collisions occurred between the two factions. Indeed one man was killed and half a dozen were severely wounded as the result of disputes as to which man Miss ClafHin should give her hand to in marriage. Certain of the most belligery.nt men were sent off down the line, but the new men who came to fill their places took up the question and arrayed themselves on one side or the other almost at once. The girl would have gone away but for the “staff.” As she had got settled among us and as we hoped the worst was over, we encouraged her to remain and kept the real state of affairs from reaching her ears. Miss ClafHin came to us early in July. In September we had lots of bad weather, and one night about the 14th of the month there came a terrible gale and a perfect deluge of rain. A dozen cars were loaded in the tunnel between 4 and 6 o'clock, but owing to the weather none was run out and unloaded. As the few shanties and tents were jioor affairs, nearly all of us went down to the switch on

the construction train to he sure ot shelter. It was supposed that every man had come out of the tunnel, and we knew of only two men being left behind. Both were engineers and occupied a shanty together, but it was 200 feet from the telegraph office, and Miss ClalHin was therefore virtually left alone. It was midnight liefore she knew the situatio i of affairs, and then she learned of it in a way to surprise her. Thomas wanted to get even with the locomotive engineer. Back of his good natured face and quiet voice lurked a devil. He enlisted the aid of several men a^ plotted a tragedy and worse. His motives were jealousy and revenge, and he determined to stop at nothing to accomplish his objects. You will think he must have been crazy to plot the abduction of Miss Claf • flin, but he did so and carried it out. At midnight lie went to her shanty, accompanied by one of ins adherents, told her that the tunnel was falling in, and he must telegraph down to the switch for the train, and when admitted they seized the girl, cut the telegraph wires and bore her to a cave which had Iteen discovered on the mountain half a mile away. Thomas and four of his men remained behind in the tunnel on purpose to carry out his schemes. When Miss t’lafHin reached the.cave, she was half dead from fright and exposure. It needed the whole five men to carry out the other scheme, and in place of leaving a guard behind she was hound hand and foot and left alone. You must not infer that Thomas meant her any evil. The man was desperately in love, insanely jealous, and consequently argued and acted like an idiot. He believed that if he could carry her off he could win her love and make her his wife, and he had no other object in view. To do him full justice in this respect, I may add that Thomas had a couple of thousand dollars in the hands of a fhend at Trinidad and proposed to take Ltk bride there and set up housekeeping Sd go into business. In his insane desire to secure revenge on the engineer anlQiis faction Thomas had no limit. Henfcew that the construction train would be sidetracked seven miles north and lay there all night. It would start out at half past 6 o’clock in the morning for the tunnel, having only a single track and a sharp grade to climb. If one of the loaded cars in the tunnel was run out and started down the track at the proper time, it must meet the train coming up and bring about a terrible wreck. That's what he figured on, and after carrying the girl off to the cave he returned to the tunnel to make ready. Not one car, but five were run out, coupled together and the wheels blocked until it was desired to send them off. The two civil engineers left behind had no occasion to venture out into the wild night, and so the plotters met with no interference. In doing what she did that night Miss ClafHin proved herself a heroine and won our lifelong esteem and gratitude. Soon after the men left her in the cave she regained her senses and began to try to reason it out. She finally came to the conclusion that her abduction was only a part of the plot, and later on she got something like a true idea of the situation of affairs. A man desperate enough to do what Thomas hud done was desperate enough to commit murder. She didn't know of the loaded cars in the tunnel nor that she had been left almost alone in her shanty, but feeling that some great peril was at hand she set herself at work to get free. This she accomplished after an hour's work. She was soaking wet, knew nothing of the locality to which she had been conveyed and was apt to go wrong if she left the cave. Nevertheless she was no sooner rid of her bonds than she left the cave. I have told you that it was a wild night. The gale blew down hundreds of trees on the mountain, and so heavy was the downpour that on a stretch of 10 miles below the switch we had three landslides and had half a mile of track swept clean away. At intervals the cold rain was replaced by showers of hail, and the wind swept through the gorges with a roar and the power of a tidal wave. Accident guided Miss ClafHin as she left the cave. It would have been a hard job for any man of us to come down that mountain side on a calm, starlight night, but she made the journey in the midst of that storm and in such darkness that only the eyes of a wild beast could have seen beyond arm's length. She did not escape injury, as you may believe. Before she got down to the roadbed she was cut and gashed and bruised, and the wonder is that she escaped with life. The loaded cars were being run out of the tunnel, and she felt rather than saw

SHE REACHED THE SWITCH AND FOUND ll BBT. what ■was going on. There could be but one object in running those cars out—to send them thundering down the grade. The plotters hoped the switch would be left open, she reasoned, and as they had cut off all chance of her telegraphing a warning she must carry it in person. When asked why site did not attempt to rout out the two civil engineers left behind, she replied that the darkness prevented her from finding their shanty, though she passed close to it. She also dimly remembered hearing Thomas and his friend suv somethina about all the

people having gone down to the switcli, and the fact of her abduction was proof that the plotters had a clear field. The seven miles of track lx-tween the tunnel and the switch tiad nine curves in it and was mostly cut through hanks of dirt and masses of rock, which left the sides from 15 to 50 and 40 feet high. The way was cut only for a single track, and the ballast between the ties was broken rock. Had the strongest, pluckiest man in our gang set out to make that trip on such a night none of us would have l>elieved that he could hold out for half a mile. The girl accomplished it, but it was at the cost of her life. A hundred times she fell on ties or track; a hundred times she staggered against the rocky sides of the cuts. Now and then the howling gusts picked her up and carried her along and flung her down, and she would have to lie there clinging to the ties till the demon of the storm paused for breath. She reached us just 10 minutes liefore the construction train was to start out. The storm was breaking then, and the rain hail almost ceased to fall. When she reached the switch and found it set for the main track, as it should have been and always was. she fell down unconscious, and the first of ns to reach her believed her dead. We knew her to be Miss ClafHin only because it could be nobody else coming from that direction. She was bleeding from a score of cuts and gashes, and but for the rain we could have tracked her half way to the tunnel by the blood from her feet. Her water soaked shoes were cut off her feet by the rock ballast, and face, hands and feet were pitiful sights as we lifted her up and carried her to the train. As I said, we thought her dead. But for the mission she had set out to fulfill I do believe she would have passed away without opening her eyes or uttering a whisjier. She had fought against death itself to bring us warning, and while we were saying that she would never rally she suddenly opened her eyes and began talking, and in five minutes we knew what had happened and what might be expected. She had only made things plain to us when she liecame unconscious again and never rallied. While she had reasoned that the loaded cars were to be sent down in the hope that they would switch in on the train, we divined the true idea of the plotters. They would semi them down to meet us on the main track. Thus believing, we did not of course star.t out. At a quarter of 7 o’clock, when the construction train would have been half way between the tunnel and the switch, we heard the flat cars coming. They had got under full headway, and the steel rails were quivering and humming a quarter of a mile in advance of the smoking wheels. They passed us at a speed of 60 miles an hour, and while we stood and listened with pale faces and beating hearts there came a sudden and awful crash. The flying cars had struck a landslip two miles below us and been wrecked. Miss ClafHin lived 24 hours after reaching the switch, but after the rally spoken of she remained in an unconscious condition and finally passed away as one goes to sleep. The body was sent away to her friends, but not liefore 500 men had stood with uncovered heads and whisperingly blessed her name and vowed to cherish her memory to the end of life. How the I#ica Stumped I’i/.nrrn. When Pizarro conquered Peru, he found in that country a people and an empire as completely socialized as was practicable under a monarchical form of government among Indians. The function of producing the necessities of life was so systematized by co-operation that poverty was out of the question. The inca in power at the time was made a prisoner by Pizarro, and while in captivity he first learned about the art of writing and was quick to appreciate its importance. He asked his Spanish guard one day to write the name of the Deity on his thumb nail. When Pizarro visited his prison, the inca held up his thumb for the Spaniard to read. Pizarro's face was blank, as he could neither read nor write. Here were two men, reared in two radically different environments. The one, in his selfishness, had mastered only those tools required for gaining gold and personal glory. The other, in his ambition for Peru, thought no instrument mean that strengthened the Peruvians as a race. In Spain the inca might have become a Pizarro. In Peru Pizarro might have become an inca. At all events, human nature as it grew wild in the heart of the Andes in those days was drawn toward the principle of national co-operation, not away from it. It therefore must he admitted that the evidence tends to show that human nature is better fitted for altruistic than “laissez faire” conditions. Nationalism is a political economy based upon the principle of the brotherhood of the race, and the practical workings of such a system of business do not run counter to the workings of the human heart.—Donahoe’s Magazine.

A CurioiiH Grave. “On the banks of the Castleman river is a sight which is well worth the trouble of going to see,” said R. C. Deakins. “A short distance from the river at the foot of the mountain six pordar trees are growing, the place incloaeu iteing in the sha]ieof a coffin. For about six feet from the ground the six trees have a common trunk, or rather root, as it seems as if the six tiees in the inclosed space had all united solidly and had grown out of the ground, carrying the earth above them up along to the height named. On climbing on top of this common trunk it is found that these poplars must have been planted around a child's grave. The inclosed space is about four feet long, and the green grass is growing in the earth there? At one end is a gravestone with an inscription on it, which, however, is worn by time. A part of it is broken off by the wear and tear of time, although it might be thought that those sturdy poplars would be able to protect this small charge of theirs. It is unknown by whom the grave was made.”—St. Txtuis Globe-Democrat.
