The Woman in White

BY WALTER WELLMAN.

For the second time In his life Jasper Ward was unhappy. Jasper was a locomotive engineer on the Burlington road, and had trod the footboard of an engine as fireman and driver since his mustache first grew on his stripling chin. His career had been one of such evenness and calm, so much quiet life within himself, such absence of incident or accident, that his steady temper had been rarely stirred by joy or sorrow. His first grief had como to him ten years or more before, when his wife died suddenly whilo ho was away on his engine. He had never married again, nor seemed to care much for society or company or anybody or anything saving only his son Jack, and, of course, his engine, for which ho had a half dozen pet names. Jack wanted to be a locomotive engineer like his father, and often coaxed to be taken out to learn to firo but Jasper would not listen to this. "Go to school, boy," he said, "and learn to be something in the world. An engineer isn't much.' Yet if anybody else had said this, which nobody would in Jasper Ward's presonce-r-at least nobody who know him—Jasper would have been very much grieved. He was proud of his calling proud of his record on the foot board. Thirty years had he stood there, and in all that time not one accidcnt more serious than the fracture of a connecting rod piston bar had occurred to hiin. Not ono life intrusted to his care had been lost, nor even jeopardized. For twenty years Jasper had run the same train, an accommodation, and all the people up and down that division of the linn knew Jasper Ward and his locomotive as well as they did their own door yards. His face at the engine window was so familiar that to miss It for a day or two was to take something out of the

Jack's voice faltered, though he was not usually timid in the presence of his father. Jasper looked up with a puzzled face. "For the life of me I can't understand what a girl can see to admire in a big lout of a fellow like yon," he said, at the same time bestowing upon his brawny and grimy son a look which belied his words. "What does the girl love you for?" "I don't know, father," said Jack, bashfully, and bowing his head as if to look at the water gauge. "I don't know, unless it is because she thinks I am to be an engineer some day. I think that's it.. She wouldn't love me, I'm afraid, if I were to leave tlio road. I'm just sure she wouldn't."

Jack said this without guile. He believed it, and his father believed it, too. The old man smiled under his gray beard, so greatly did the artless compliment please him. And so, almost without an effort, and without realizing how eloquently he had pleaded his cause, Jack won his father's consent to his remaining on the engine. Ho was to marry tho girl he loved, and had his father's consent to marrying as quick as ho liked. Of course Jack was very happy, and whistled a little tune as he opened tho furnace doOr and shoveled huge scoops of eoal into the glowing firebox.

Well, the wedding day was set, and all preparations were duly made, Jack continuing meanwhile to "fire" No. 451 for his father. Jasper was becoming familiar with the new engine, but the electric headlight he could not endure without many words of grumbling and many forebodings for the future. To add to his troubles at a time when he was little able to bear new burdens, he was transferred from his old run on the accommodation to

moment. Timidity and discontent were frp^irtTining more than ever marked in him, and Jack found his father anything but a cheerful running mate. But Jack didnt mind that. He loved his father dearly, and did the best he could to comfort and cheer him. "Youll be all right in a day or two, father," he said "the machine is new and the light is brighter than you are accustomed to, but youll like them both before long." "No, I wont," the old man replied, stubborn in his enhappiness and forebodings "they are determined to drive me -off the road with their new fangled concerns. They dont want the old man any longer. They want me to get behind time every day or two and have the boss looking after me and bouncing me. But I'll fool 'em yet. Ill make time or** and by the way his father set his teeth Jack knew that the old man meant to drive ahead through day and through darkness, whether he could see or not. "But you must leave the road, Jack," said Jasper, as he pulled up at a station "you must leave the road, boy. Them's trouble coming, and there's no reason why you should bo in it." "But I can't leave the road, father. I know no other way to earn a living, and, besides, I want to stay with you." "No, no you have only yourself to support, and you can do that at anything. Besides, you will not be left without a little" "But, father," Jack interrupted, "I—I have more than myself to support, or soon will have. Fa-father, Mary has promised to marry mo."

Mary Clifford was a pretty girl. She had great browji eyes, which lookod out from under a brow of marble whiteness. Her home was near the railway track, and there Jack had first seen her while taking occasional rides with Iris father before mounting the footboard as firemaji-- frtnrv., naRtL..to- stancL out. at.ike ulSnls, Md these, Kept as shiny as a good housewife's silver, and glistening in the sunlight, had caught both the eye and the fancy of the big eyed maiden and dono more than half the wooing for the boy who so proudly rode by his father's side.

A couple of weeks before the wedding day Jasper and Jack were on their way wast on a regular trip, when they were again stopped at tho side track near Mary a home, to pass a belated freight train. Jack looked in vain for alight in the Clifford house, for it was near midldght. Just before the freight came thundering along, and while Jack was busy shoveling coal, old Jasper was startied by catching a glimpse of something which looked to him l$e a human form stealing through the darkness toward his engine, but he instantly attributed the delusion to the bothersome electric headKw^fned-— •ad soon

fmKE TTAITTE 'SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

They were two wry sad men who rode away the cab of caigine 451. Theyhad not a word to say to each Other. Bach was busy with his own thoughts. Jasper was thinking that his forebodings were beginning to bour fruit, And that tkc new engine and the electric lamp had brought bad luck at last. Jack was trying to think what in the world had become of Mary Clifford.

tW"Hn,r

thai h»

The train was rapidly approaching Buck Hill tunnel, the fierce rays from the new lamp filing the frosty rock cut with a dotting array of crystals, when both father and son suddenly uttered an exclamation of horror and-turned their faces toward each other. At that instant the locomotive plunged into the tunnel, with a roaring and a quivering of the earth, but bythe light afforded by the single gauge lamp Jasper read in Jack's face that which he was dreading to see there, and Jack saw in the blanched cheek and dilated eyes of his father that his worst feared were realized. His hand trembling more violently than the engine itself, the old engineer threw his weight against tho throttle and shut off all steam, and at the same moment applied the air. As soon as the train had come to a standstill he reversed, opened the throttle once more, whistled for rear lights and slowly backed the'train out of the tunnel. As the wheels lazily revolved the old man turned to his son and, in a tone which was more a whisper than anything else, gasped,out: "Did you s-see it?" "Yes," Jack whispered in reply "it was Mary. I saw it as plainly as could be. It was Mary standing there in the middle of the track, clad in angel's robe. Oh, I know it is Mary's spirit, and she is dead." "It was a woman's form and she held her right hand aloft in warning," said Jasper, his eyes as large as oyster shells and his frame trembling like a locomotive in toil. "It was a warning, if ever there was ono, and not for all tho world I run through that tunnel to-night. stood right in the middle of the trac] —heavens! there she is again! See, t]

At one particular spot the rays from the electric headlight are reflected back and forth in such a manner that the shadow of anything on the pilot is taken up and indistinctly thrown upon the inky blackness ahead." "I don't understand it," said Jasper. "Let me show you," tbo conductor went on,taking out pencil and paper, while Jasper held his lantern. "In the first place, you must remember that the rocky walls of the cut are rough and uneven, presenting a great variety of surfaces, and a good many of 'em just like mirrors. Now, we'll call A the tunnel arch. BB are the walls of the cut. is the electric headlight over the pilot. The electric rays, striking some of the rock surfaces at D, are thrown back to E, and at E are reflected right across the pilot to F, of course making a shadow on the wall at that point of whatever image was in the way.

But he was looking ahead, as you were, and you both saw the indistinct outlines of the young lady's shadow as thrown from upon the darkness in tho cut beyond the range of the electric rays. You might travel a thousand miles without coming on another spot where such a result would appear. Now, hurry up and let's get away." "How do you account for the uplifted arm?" inquired Jasper. "That is easily explained. When found the young lady she was sitting with her right arm holding to the brace rod that runs from the headlamp to tho front of the pilot, just as she might have done had she been awake. Besides, your imagination helped the illusion mado by a combination of Jack Frost's looking glasses, the electric headlight and a sleepwalking young lady. Queerest thing

'Queer? I should say it was," echoed Jasper, as he turned on the steam and into the tunnel as if ho meant to ladgh me off the road."""

Germs In th« Air

Jfiquel has found that air at Montsouris (outside of Paris) contains, as an average, 1,092 microbes, while in a Paris street there are in a cubic meter (thirtyfive cubic feet) 9,750. The upper air in a city is, however, much purer than that of SVtr^ts^Thus found on top of the Pantheon but §64 germs to the meter, which is thus freer than country the ground. But if street air is so full of germs, what can be said of the houses? In Miquel's own house each cublic meter contained in summer 49,800 while in winter there were 84,5(X). This increase in winter over summer is due to the much smaller ventilation allowed. In free air, country or city, the germs are three to four times more numerous in summer than in winter. These figures help us to appreciate the necessity for thorough ventilation, especially in owes of infectious disease. posing the room to prevent the contagion from spreading will but add to its concentration and greatly increase the danger to the attendants.

A MOUNTAIN REVIVALIST.

I was well above Rogersville, Tenn., and could look down into some of the prettiest coves and valleys in all the state, when I heard a voice singing on the trail ahead. As I came nearer 1 discovered a man seated on a rock with a book in his hand. He was a hard looking customer. ragged, unshaved and unwashed, nH he sung with such energy and in such harsh'tones that I suspected he was srazy- However, as soon as he heard and saw me he called out "Be not afraid, stranger I am here to do the Lord's work. Two months ago I was the most shuckless critter in all Tennessee, and wicked to boot. Light has busted in upon me, and I am tryin' to make my feller critters see and mend the error of their ways. Let us sing."

He had a Moody and Sankey hymn book, but he could only read with difficulty, and his enthusiasm was too great for him to stick to the text. He burst into song.

When he had finished his song he announced that he was a revivalist on his tour to stir up the sinners of the mountains, and that he was to hold services that afternoon at Wharton's Valley, about five miles away. As 1 was bound for the same place we went on in company. 1 soon discovered that the man was rough, ignorant and given to plug tobacco, but he seemed earnest in his mission, and so 1 found many excuses for him. Ho could chew more tobacco in a given time and spit further through his front teeth than any man I over saw. I carried a few plugs in my knapsack for the benefit of the natives at large, and he soon discovered this and now and then would observe: "Yes, stranger, although you may hey bin a pirate, there's kopo ahead fur you, and I'll take another bite o' that plug."

By the time we had arrived at Wharton's, he had wasted half my stock, and had spat upon every rock on tho wayside. There were two cabins hero, with three others within the mile, and about fifteen people had gathered to hear the revivalist talk. He introduced me as "a teller critter" ho had picked up on the way, and added that I evidontly needed praying for the worst way. The people received him rather coldly, I thought, and I soon learned tho reason. When we had had a bite to eat tho people arranged themselves about the open door of the cabin, and the revivalist began by saying: "Thar's sin and wicKedness yore—heaps of it. You'uns is nuthin' but a shuckless pack of sinners on yer way to a fiory furnace fed with sulphur and brimstun. Tho devil is clus behind the hull of ye, tux' he's bound to git yo." "Look-a-yero, Joe Williams!" interrupted a tall and serious looking mountaineer as ho rose up, "let's start this yore sarcumstanco at the beginnin*. In the fust placo, who was yo?" "Don't interrupt asarvent of tho Lordl" warned Joo. "Yes, who was ye?" inquired a woman as sho laid aside her snuff stick to stand up. "Yo wa3 pore an' shuckless an' low down, Joe Williams, only a few weoks ago. Yer hull fam'ly was bar'fut, an' the best ye had to eat was b'ar meat an' pones. Ye drank mo' whisky than all the men put together, an' ye never had a second shirt toyer back!"

This wasn't a corbcr for Josoph. Ho heard tho woman through with a smile, and then said: "A sarvent of the Lord must take the Ji tiat tho the heavens as a warnin'l Wool w. /I00' Themas cin heed will pass down the trail clothed in silks an' satins an' pearls. Them as scoff an' revile an' cuss around will bo tooken by the heels an* nung-into the fiery furnace, which is 100 feet deep an' full of twistin' sarpints."

Two children were overcome and began to cry at this, but the father of one of them gavo him a box on tho ear ani rose up and said: "Who was you an'what is you? We all know you to bo a shiff'less, onery shuckless varmint. You wasn't fit to

Then the big sum with the serious face got up, turned his eyes to heaven ana said: "Oh, Lord, we is onery an' mean and low down. We is shuckless an' shifless.

Probably no one thing has caused suoh a general revival of trade at Cai Krietenstein Drug Store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Theii trade is simply enormous in this very valuable artfole from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung diseases quickly cured You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size fl. Eveiy bottle warranted. (8)

.Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it ia that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standingyou will surely find relief by the use of Electric Bitters.
