CAE JUMPS TRACK. Bad Accident Narrowly Averted at Trestle Over Klver. X serious aceioont was narrowly averted yesterday afternoon wh-n a SoutL Chicago city railway ear jumpr-d the track at Seventy-ninth street and Sherman avenue. A fewer that is under construction at that place makes it difficult for the ears to pass the place as they have to go over a trestle which was built for that purpose. The front trurk3 of the ear swerved and went onto the other track, .severely shaking up the x,assensrer.. The car was goiniT at the rate of only about ten miles an hour when the accident happened, which enabled the motorman to Ftp the car without serious damage. The wn Ulv.g crew was called and the ar wa.s put on the track and aain renamed Its journey. HOE AN GETS A RAISE.

All of them, however, will claim the side bet which they say was made by Misa Ruby liensabott, 600 South Albany street, finance of Joe Whit.-, 702 Flournoy street, one of the hik'-rs. It is asserted that she wagered a kiss to every member of tiie party against a five pound box of candy, provided Joe finished the fifty miles. "We thought on the start that Jo? would have to buy the candy, but it is up to us to collect." said F. J. Zurn, who promoted' the hike.
Joke on the OSker. Thieves attempted to enter the house of Captain Con Jlyari of Engine Company No. ST yesterday, and as a result of the visit of CMioer McShane to the house he was th-i subj.-ct of much jollying last night. McShane went to investigate and Mrs. Ityan in giving the description of the supposed burglar, stated that the man was a living likenesa of ti;e officer, wore about the same style clothes and a photo of the two could hardly be identified. So sure was the little daughter of the firefighter that when the officer departed she telephoned to the police that the burglar was just up to the house and that his name was McKhane. The joke was too good and was passed all along the line. PULLMAN The Knights of Columbus will hold their annual Now Year's eve dance at Market hall. Miss Mary Smith of Indiana avenue has returned home after a short visit with relatives In Indiana. Friday evening, Iec. 27, the adults gymnasium class will give a dance at the park assembly hall. The ladles and gentlemen of the classes intend that the affair, which is to be invitational, will be one of unusual interest. Much of the detail work connected with the social doings is left in the hands of Mr. Mahurin and Miss Robarts of the woman's department. Mr. Mahurin believes that a social organization would not only be the means of making the members of the class better acquainted, but would also result in the gain of new members. Everyone should know that everything connected with the park Is free, but many people do not realize this or are slow to take advantage of the opportunities offered. A large crowd attended the entertainment given by the Presbyterian church last night at Market hall, "A Trip to Santa's Land." This playwas quite interesting and was equally enjoyed by all.

4. The Woman Who Disappeared. t Copyright. 1007. by E. C. Parctilz. We were bound up the coast to Yaldivia and Santiago and had run into a storm that wrecked the brig aloft. Wo made shift, however, to work cur way into one of the bays off Ohiioe island, and there we spent two weeks re lilting. The island named is about forty miles off the coast of Chile. It is fifteen miles ia length and from three to ten miles in breadth, and at the time I write of was not permanently inhabited. It is of volcanic formation, but well wooded. Just previous to leaving London on this voyage Captain Bennett had been married to a young lady whom he had been courting for over three years. She was the daughter of a manufacturer, and the marriage had tho consent and good wishes of her family. She was a handsome, intelligent girl of twenty, much ia love with the captain, and this voyage was thoir bridal tour. I was the captain's nephew and second mate of the brig. When we had anchored the brig in a landlocked bay and began at the repairs the young wife suggested a tent under the trees ashore. A tent was erected, a few necessaries taken ashore, and there the happy couple spent their nights and part of the days. During the daytime, if the captain was not on board, they wandered over the island or gathered shells along the beach. If he was on board we could see her mov ing about or sitting under the trees. Wo finally had things ready to proceed, and the tent and the wife were to be brought aboard next morning, Avhen a strange thing happened. Captain Bennett had been with us nil the afternoon, going ashore about G o'clock In the evening. An hour later we were notified that the wife was missing. It did not seem a thing of much account to me when I went ashore at his call. I myself had seen the woman as late as 3 o'clock. She had been cautioned not to wander too far, but had been a bit heedless. I had no doubt that she would be found within the hour and that we should all have a good laugh over the incident. The only direction she could take from the tent was due west, where a narrow valley led inland. Tho captain had gone a mile in this direction and shouted her name and got no reply. We now hurried along until we had covered double that distance, and we shouted at the top of our voices, but no answer came to our hails. We followed the valley, winding and turning, for a distance of two miles and then returned to the beach for men and lanterns. The disappearance was a strange thing. The woman could not have lost her way. She could have gone in only one direction. She had only to turn in her tracks to come back to the starting point. We had been tUere two weeks and had not seen a stranger about. Eight of us, provided with lanterns or torches, divided Into four parties and began a new search. Oue party went up the beach, another down, and the other two followed the valley to its end. It began or ended In a basin of about an acre in extent. This basin was shut in by rocky hills and pretty well covered with bushes. We had brought a musket along, and for an hour we shouted and fired by tutus. No reply did we get. Then we returned to see what luck the others had met with. There was not much to hope for. The beaches were short, and no one aboard the ship had seen the missing aian strolling up or down. When we reached the tent it was to find that the other searches had been in vain, Then the captain said: "My wife has wandered to a dis tauce. and in climbing some hills, perhaps after a rare flower, she has met with a fall. She may be lying dead, or she may have been so badly hurt that she cannot call out In answer. I shall continue the search the night through.'' There was no one who did not pity the man. We had a crew of fourteen, and, leaving only two men aboard a i an anchor watch, the rest of us renewed the search. We went on the idea that the woman must have climbed the hills at some point. Six of u? took one side of the valley and six the other, and we examined every spot with the minutest care. Wherever it seemed possible for a woman to have climbed up we sent a man. We looked for broken branches; we looked to see if patches of moss had been disturbed; we looked for fragments of her dress clinging to briers. Not until daylight came and we were thoroughly exhausted and discouraged was there any letup. Then we returned to the ship for breakfast and a brief test. The captain sat down under a tree ashore. When morning came again he had made up his mind what to do. The brig could no longer be detained. Stores sufficient to last a man for many weeks were lauded, and she was sent on her wa in charge of the mate. At Valdivia he was to arrange for some native craft to come and take the captain off. He would rem. :a and prosecute the search until the mystery was solved, and he would allow no one to remain with him. It was three months later when th captain was taken off. Ilia age was only thirty, but he looked like a man of fifty. He was gray haired and bent and wrinkled. He had gone over every foot of the island twice ar.d three times over, and he had not found so much as a shred of his wife's dres. Not a bush nor a rock cor a gully had .escaped him. Not a thicket but that he had searched on hands and knees. Not a foot of beach had boon left unwatched for what the tide might bring. She had simply disappeared off Chke Island, and to this day no one know how. M. QUAD.
