A Fatal Presentiment
A 8TORY OK OUR RAlLRO\I HBN.
BY CHESTKR V. BAIRI
'How's the connect ion, Conductor Tom T' •Gn^ tbjs dot, Harry, aod we'll get away on time, sure.' •Well, I'm glad of it, for, to tell the truth, 1 don't feel like last running to-night,' •Ain't lowing yoor grip, are you, Harrv 7' •Well, for this night, maybe I am but you nead not fear but that I'll make time. I'm feeling blue to-nlgLt, that's all, and have been trying to convince myself that it all come* trout indigos tfou, although I've always thought heretofore that uiy inside works were built on the ostrich order.' •And pray what has happened to give you "the blues," old fellow You have a fond, pretty wife a brace oi the sturditat and handsomest boys I ever saw: the best pa«sengei englue on the road you draw a good "lump" on pay day ana I have beard you say more than once that you bad your oozy home paid for, and owed no man a peony. What, then, pray, is there to give you "the blues"?' •You may possibly laugh at me, Tom, but, the fact is, it all oomee from a pre seutiment.' •No, my bo -, 1 11 not laugh at you but I'll sav thai 1 am surprised that one with your'streneth of mind and freedom from sopemuiion should give way to tbatcloau tu idle fears yclept present! ment.' •But, Tom, remember in how many cases these presentiments of danger and death have come true. There was the case of Llewellyn Wymmesa, the Welch engineer. He told a dozeu of us that he would killed at the Black Ravine some time, and well I remember bow we laughed at him, ami attributed it all to the Old Country superstition that still clang to him. And what was the result 7 In less than a month poor Wymmess struck a broken rail and was hurled over Into the Black Ravine aud crashed out of all resemblance to humanity ere he reached the ditch below, with engine and cars piled atop of bim. How do you account for that?' •I grant you, Harry, there have been cares where these premonitions of death have come to pass exactly as foretold by the one having the premonition or presentiment. But, then, it don't follow that a tithe of these superstitions come true. It gets to be a chronic habit with some to have them, and brood over them for a time, and then forget them until new cause for uneasiness arises. •A railroad man knows the most dangerous point on the road aud where an accident is most likely tooccui. From thinking of it often the idea becomes fixed in hi* mind that at tfiat very point be may meet his death. The transition from that is easy enough to tbe settled conclusion that he will foe killed at that very point. I think that was the case with Wy mess, and others you may have in mind, and these coincidences have bad the effect of strengthening the same superstition iu tbe minds of others.' •Your argument is reasonable, I'll admit, and I wish I fcould think as you do. Mince this presentiment became implanted in my mind I bsv« striven to drive ittbence by every means, but in vain. It has grown stronger with esch passing houjr, and to-day I arrangements, ao that, Mhould I be sidetracked by Sn peri nte rift eoft Deatlu iny dear oueoshail be provided for. Tom, dear old boy, you and I have put in many a day and night ou the road together, but I fear that 1 am abont at the end of my "run," and that my leet will soon press the footboard (or the last time.' •Well, well, Harry, we've all got to go some time, and a railroad man should always be prepared to make his tinal running switch. But it's waxing toward oof time, and I'll go in an see if we're to be bothered with orders. My word fur it, old fellow, you'll target all about your dismal prophecy or presentiment, or whatever you may be pleased to call it,'when you are shaking tbe dost of the tnUn,and once more feel the exhilarating gallop of your metaled charger.'
Conductor Tom went off laughing, and ifiurry'TOttirned to 61s engtnry and basted himswr In getting everytbiugiu shape to leaving 'on tt* pot.'
A few minute* lait)* the connection* came in, and when Harry received the signal to pull out, tbe of the big d|pot clock seemed wreathed in smiles as the hands exultingly pointed to the tact that for once the night express on the A. Jt H. Ife R. Was leaving "on limC*
But the genius of good luck deserted theui ere a run of iilty tdiles had been made. At ilsmler a freight engine off the track st tbe switch detained them half an hour, aud that necessitated fast running to make the meeting point at Hicksvilie for tbe Ksst IJne.
At Auburn tlfteen minutes were lost In •sawing' by freights and when, In starting from Conway's, the link between the engine and express oar broke, Engineer Harry begged his fireman to go somewhere out oi hearing aud use •trong words for two,
Through the inadvertence of tb* brakeman not a link was to be found on tbe train, and while search was being made for one, aud much valuable time loet, certain passengers, wbo were chronic grumblers at any cause of delay, held quite an indignation meeting, little thinking that to this very circumstance they would, through Providence, owe their live.
At last a cracked link that bad bees thrown axide as worthier was found, tbe engine was .coupled on, careful it^t'Ma and a few nitnotee later they were Uifnaeilug through Oonwsjr tfn mi.
From tbe black mouth at the other end to the point known as the Black lUvlne was just one quarter of a mile. Ua tlk section more accidents had occurred than on ail tbe rest of the road. This was attributed to various causa* by the tuen hut, strange enough, none oi then advanced the true eauaMint of taut running.
Your true railroad man delights in the "time1* be eao make, and is never ao well pleased as when dashing along at full speed. Bat there was a cogent reason tor test running at this point. Just beyond the Blaek Katina wan *a heavy grade, and to obviate tbe danger of "sticking" on it tbe engineers invariably "dropped her down" a tew notches as they emerged from the tunnel, and opened out lor a run at the bill and by tbe time the ravine was reached those en the train ware having a lively ride,,
Conductor TVm*s tram dashed out a# the tunnel on the night in qnestion, and the engineer, as he pulled on the throttle, anxiously swore to beyond the range of bis presentiment came Jbree, and visions of obstruction* on the
lira on uw mitoptaroB the gloom lb* headlight, as te to hint Stroll
tr*ek or a broken rail flitted through bis brain. Louder and louder sounder tbe roar .of the train. It rushed from the cat, it echoed snd re echoed out over the valley, amoog tbe wooded bills, and rolled lite muttering thunder around tbe crags and peaks. ^Suddenly there buret forth one despair ing shriek from the eugine, then came a horrible erasb, a rush of steam, a thundering roar, and down the steep, over the cruel, jagged rooks, into the dreaded Blrak Ravine plunged tbe engine. ^Oo tbe track above there was a rending of wood and grinding of iron, as the en gine disappeared and passengers were burled through the onacbsN and promts cuouAly hesped with ptoves, sests, snd hangSKe sa the train tame to a stand still.
The conductor, wbo was unhurt, burriedly made an examination of his train" and disoovered to his Infinite relief, that but one passenger had been seriously injured, although many were suffering from severe cuts and bruises, 'Quick, boys, with your lights 1' exclaimed Tom, 'and we'll see how it fares with po*r Harry and bis fireman. Ah, me, poor fellow, hla may be a true presentiment, sure enough.'
They found the engine lying on the side, with the tank atop of her. The fireman was first discovered, mangled and crushed, and as willing bands were extended to rescuo the body, a deep gaoon was beard from under the wreck. •It's Hsrry, and alive!' cried Tom.
Leaping over the debrle, and dlregard ing the blistering iron and scalding «!oudsof steam, they found him but so wedged in between the ongine aud tank that it was impossible to release bim.
The horrible agony that be had suffered wben consciousness first returned was succeeded by a numbness that wsa the precursor of swiftly approaching deatb. •Harry, my boy,' said Conductor Tom, with choking voice, 'I fear tbere is no hope. To rescue yon is impossi ble.' 'Aye, Tom, I know It,' weakly replied Harry. 'I feel tb*t I have taken my last ruu. Do not fear for me, though, old fellow I can stand It, and it won't be for long. But Tom, do not tell my wife of this when yon convey to ber tbe dread news uf my death. Let ber think, poor little woman, that I was free from suffering, and tell her that with my last breath prayed for ber and tbe little ones.'
What threw you off, Harry?' A broken raii, and within a car length of where poor Wyramess left tbe track. Isn't it strange that you and I talked of this very spot to-night?' How many cars went ovei?"
Not one. The express car whirled around, snd the others crashed into it, knocking tbe trucks from under several, and smashing tbe platforms, but none left tbe top. Aud, strange enough, but one passenger was seriously injured.'
Thank God for that! It was all owing to that cracked link. Had we not broken in two at Conway's, or if we bad found a sound link after breaking tbe other, tbe whole train would have followed tbe engine. But Ned, my fireman, what of bim?' 'He's deed, poor fellow. He was killed instantly. But think of yourself, my dear boy, can we do uothing for yon?' 'Nothing. I am past all feeling or desire for anything.'
And tbe poor fellow closed bis eyes snd calmly awaited death. A few minutes later be looked up and said in a scarcely audible voice:
You will not think that a presentiment Irises ffom superstition in tbe future, Tom. How plainly one can see tbe band of God iu s|l things. Had he not prepared me for this, so that I might put my affairs to rights, my dear wife and babes would have come to want through the careless way in which I had conducted my business. Now I die content.'
Those were bis last words. His voice had grown weak and broken, and tbe end was at hand. The sobs of hi-i comrades ceased as the shadow of deatb, which dimmed not the smile of peace and hope, fell on the loveH face and then, with bands tightly clasped in Tom's and the wild and wailing mourn ful requiem, be passed away.

Georc
gave better advice in a
at Metropolitan Temple. He said
every man should own his heme, if he can. That philosophy which tells a man to drift on over the occan of thin uncertain life without a home of his own, is wrong. The man who does not own his home 1R like a ship odt on the ofen £ea, »t the hatard* of the storm. The fti«n who owns hi# home is Hid a ship that his arrived in port and is moored in a safe harbor. One man nhould no more be content to live in another man's house, if he can build oue of his own, than one bird should annually take tho ri-k of hatching in another bird'* nest and for my own part I would rather be able to own a cottage than to hire a palace. I often see men eager to effect an insurance upon their lives, and tl-i* is well—it is right. But the man who owns his home has effected sn insurance upon his happiness and the happiness of his fathily—#hich is as much to him, if hi« nrhtd
it*
right,
as his own, and constitutes his own. I have seen the homes of the people in foreign lands I have heard them talk of their condition and lot in life, and this is the main theme of thought with mankiod everywhere. As I listened to them I discovered why it is that the Switzer in his hut in the Alps, where the limit of vegetation is reached and the winter storm hoifls and ragsn about him, is happier than the Italian tenant on vie beautiful pfitlhi of LomWtfy, amid* the bloom and fragrance of perpetual summer. It ill the ooapciousncMK ot the ownership of a home, Wfciah, no matter how the storm rig**, no' oOe eao talte from him, and which be can make happy in spite of the storm. I would say to every man, buy a home if you can and own it. If a windfall has come to you, buy a home with it. If you have laid up enough money toil bur a home., If yon have money In flocks, bflty a* home. Do not kt anybody tempt you to put all your winning* hnk into the pool, pat tbe rest hack if yon will.
