BRUTAL TREATMENT, Some villains have been visiting the sins of her huf-band, on Mrs. Schafler, of Poplar street, in the most brutal manner. In the first place the officers who made the arrest did a great injury, though they have the valid excuse oi" ignorance. When they called at the house Mrs. Schaffer, who is about to be confined with a child, refused to admit them. They finally told hrr they would force an entrance if she did not let them in. On entering, she ran, and at the rear step, fainted. The night afterward some vilJian fired into the house and almost frightened her to death, and imperiling •the life of her child. She is now staying at the house of Mr. Kuhlman, in t§e neighborhood, afraid to go home.

The sympathies of the ladies in that •vicinity"are, naturally enough strongly inlisted in her favor.

In conclusion the scribe says:

•'While the work ofthe term shows a slight loss as to membership, the financial condition of this branch of the order is good. The resources have been somewhat increased and though the receipts fall below those of the preceding term, the expenses have' been proportionately lessened. When the condition of the country is considered in the tight of its business derangements—added to which is the fact that during the term the jurisdiction was convulsed with one ot the most violent political excitements ever known in the history ofthe government, it is only a marvel that our order has suffered so little. Since the beginning of the present year a marked improvement is visible everywhere, and the encampments are awaking to newness of life and we have no doubt that our June report of the present term will be all that can be desired, or that we have reason to expect during the present critical peri#d in the busines-s world. All that is wanting to insure a full increase of prosperity, is earnest, persistent effort on the part of the patriarchs in the work of their subordinate encampments. Let each one do his whole duly, in precept and example, and the result will be an assured succcss in building up this higher bianch of Oddfellowship."

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

BUTTER DELIVERED LIKE MILK.

Mr, T. P. McDonald, formerly with Eckhoff& Zimmerman, at the corner of Ninth and Main, is making arrangments to start a butter depot in this city, and to strike out in an entirely new manner to supply his customers. He has made, arrangements with one of the best CREAMERY BUITER factories in Ohio, to handle their butter, and to receive it fresh every morning by express. He proposes t® fit up a refrigator wagon and deliver it to his customers fresh every morning in quantities desired, in the same manner that 'milk is furnished. He will call upon the citizens in a few days for the purpose of making engagements. As he proposes to furnish choice creamery butter at the same price that ordinery butter is furnished, he will no doubt meet with success from the start.

It was a girl, about nine pounds, and mother and child doing well father happy, mother contented, both scared some,

THE OBSTRUCTED TRACT. It was a crisp night in October, and the winds rustled the leaves in the woods that surrounded Ytol Vathek'a house. Above the fair girl who looked out of a small dormitory window, hone countless stars she might have seen Bo®tes and Orion had she looked up, but that night the worlds of heaven had no attraction for her.

She was listening to a strange sound borne from the west by the nocturnal breeze that chilled her cheek. I might have said with propriety a succession of sounds, for it seemed that some persons were cording wood or moving heavy timber* not far away. Save this noise the night was quiet, ar.d she heard without interruption from the window ofh simple boudoir. "I believe i' is in Gwynne's Cut," she said at last to herself. "Perhaps some vallain is obstructing the track for devilish purposes. The Red Bird will soon be due, and this i.- ICd's trip down."

Her face grew a trifle paler as she spoke, and a msment later she stood before the ancient wall sweeper in one of the lower rooms.

The moorbeams stealing in at the window fell upon the face ot the dial, and told Ytol that it was 12 o'clock: •'Twelve o'clock!" her lips murmured.

charge fighting and dis-

What! twelve o'clock, and he whistles to me at half past! My heavens! what if the track is obstructed in the cut!"

With the last word on her lips, she turned and soon left the house. At the gate she paused a moment and listened. The sounds were still to be heard, and she believed that they emanated from a spot in the cut near the cattle guard. Then she started forward again, and crossed the meadow that lay between her Home and her destination.

The stars looked down upon a little object that glittered like silver in Ytol Vathek's hand. It was a revolver, and her fingers held it firmly. Once or twice she glanced at it as if to satisfy herself that it was there. Then looked up again with an air of determination.

She was the belle ofthe country she inhabited. Her father was dead, and with her widowed mother and a little brother of twelve, she dwelt in a humble house won by the sweat of that father's brow. A railway station called Beaumont was the only settlement near, and it was six miles from her home. She seldom went thither, for there was no society there, and she could enjoy herself better at home.

The track of iron was the making of Beaumont, for the road was new, and towns were springing up all along the line. Ytol could see the cars from her window, and often had she sat there until the flaming head-light of the midnight express had appeared and disappeared. An opening in the woods enabled her to see the light for a moment, and then the lighted windows of the coaches.

Did the engines know that she was watching—that his engine gave two shrieks as it reached tne opening—two shrieks that seemed to say "Ytol! ytol?" She always smiled when she heard the sounds, and with the smiles lingering on her face, or a blush, she would listen till the rumbling ot the train died away be)ond the cramped boundaries of uncommercial Beaumont.

That brace of shrieks, loud and shrill, told her who drove that engine toward the great city on the Mississippi's banks. They recalled the day, one year since, when the first engine she had e*er st-en slopped at Beaumont, scarcely a station then. The engineer was young and handsome, and when he saw her examining the great drive wheels, and looking with wonderment upon the mighty beauties of his iron pet, lie leaped to the ground.

A pretty piece of machinery," he said to her, "and she goes like a bird!" She blushed when she caught his eye, and the sound of his voice thrilled l.er.

Overcoming her timidity, he helped her into his cosy apartment on the engine and explained to her the wondrous mechnn'v.:'. of the beautiful monster. Then he said good-bye, and she saw the train move off, and his hat waving from the engine was the last thing she saw as it darted round the curve.

A week later she found herself at the station talking to him again. Their meeting seemed purely accidental, and, no doubt it was such "but I am sure that the meeting that followed it were not. Bv and by Ed. Gordon, the engineer, car ried a picture over his heart, and on Ytol's bureau lay the photographer's semblance of his face.

Thus the acquaintance at the station during the Red Bird's trial trip over the new road, had ripened into love, and the two midnight shrieks told her that he was safe and dr.vtng his engine toward the river metropolis She sat at her window oft-times with the lamp on the sill, and often fancied that she could sec him leaning from his engine with eyes fixed to catch a glimpse of her before the train would be swallowed up by the woods again.

This life Was excitement and joy to Ytol but it was passing away. The time was coming when Ed Gordon would leave the road, and accept the superintendency of the company's carshops in a flourishing city.

But let me return to the October night when Ytol left her house to investigate the sounds that seemed to come from Gwvnn's Cut.

She felt that obstructions were being placed upon the track in the dismal places. Of late the company had incurred the hatred of certain persons residing in the vicinity of the station, and once or twice the track had been tampered with, but, fortunately, to no serious extent. The night express generally went through the cut with undiminished speed, for no obstructions had been encountered there, though the cattle guard in the center weuld assist the evilly disposed.

Ytol at last leached the cut into which the mellow moonbeams fell, and pauBed. Something high and dark obstructed the track before her, at the very spot where the cattle guard seemed to be, and she held-her breath. It was twelve o'clock when she left the house, and her walk had occupied a number of precious minntes. The shrieks of the Red Bird would soon be heard, and a moment thereafter its head-light would flash into the cut or gorge!

She saw more than a pile of strong ties •on the track. She saw the dark ^Surfi of a man moving about the pyramid as if contemplating his night's work and speculating upon the ruin and death it would cause. She watched until she believed that one man had accomplished the diabolical deed, then she crept forward through the shadow of the bushes thct lined the sides of the cut until she stood within ten feet of him. •'I'll go back to the station now, she heard him say to himself. "I can get

there before the accident, and when it oc curs, why, I can run up here and see him under the ruins of his engine, so crushed that that doll-faceu girl of his will not recognize him."

A cruel laugh rippled over his lips as he stepped back fiom the heap of ties, several of which he had forced into the guard, where they were wedged like posts of iron. He enjoyed his own words and viewed the work of his mad hands. "I'll crush the Red Bird," he said, turning away, "and put him out of my path forever."

The last words, full of devil's triumph, still quivered on his lips, when Ytol stepped from the shadows and thrust the muzzle of her revolver into his face

He started back with a cry of horror and muttered her name. "This is your revenge, Morgan Duke," she said, looking sternly into his eyes. "Now, obey my commands, or there will be a lifeless body on this track, to be mingled among the ruins of the night express. To work at once! Off with your coat, and remove from the track every obstruction your wicked hands placed there!"

He looked at her, and a curse feel from his lips. "The train can't be saved now," he said, and there was joy in his tones. "It took m« one long hour to obstruct the guard. In twenty minutes, or less, perhaps, you will see the Red Bird's head light up the cut." "Villain!" she cried "if this track is not clear when I see her head-light, I'll drive a bullet through your brain! You know what to do! I will talk no longer."

Coverad by her revolver as he was, Morgan Duke, the station master, doffed his coat and fell to work.

Ytol never took her eyes from him, and the silvery moon that rested over the cut showed his every movement. He was upon the pile of ties, hurling them, one by one, with the strength of a modern Samson upon the n®t over wide grade. He worked for life, for he knew when the thundering train was due, and a glance at the girl on the track told him that she would sternly slay him if he did not do her bidding.

Once she said to him, as he paused for a breath before attacking the ties which he had driven into the guard:, "I never thought this of you. Morgan Duk«. When I rejected you, I thought you would bear it likk a mai."

He replied not, but glanced at his watch. "Half past twelve!" he said. "To work!" was the stern command, and Ytol, stepping forward, brought the revolver nearer his head.

He tugged at the ties with great strength, and large drops of perspiration stood boldly out on his forehead. "I can't move them," he said at last, turning upon Ytol. "You must!" was the reply. "I drove them in with the "sledge "I did not hear the sound." "It was deadened with my coat."

The girl's face grew paler than ever, and she glanced fearfully up the cut. "Take them out!" she said, suddenly "the train is coming. I heard it."

The villainous station-master heard the rumblihg, and agian turned to the ties. "You have your choice," Ytol said to nim, "a bullet for an unobstructed track?"

She watched him as woman never watched him before. She knew that he was doing all that could be done to undo his wicked work, and while she watched her heart grew still beneath the rumble of the express. '•He'll soon call me," she said fo her self. "There! there!"

The familiar shrikes cleft the cool October air, but they brought no jov to her heart. She was not at the old window beside the light he loved to hail from his engine. Perhaps she would be the first to kiss his cold brow beneath the stars in Gwynn's Cut. Sue almost shouted for joy when she saw the first tie drawn from the guard by the desperate man. "Quick! the sledge! break the guard!" she cried. "Gods! I never thought of that," he said, and the next moment he was shattering the long guard with his heavy iron hammer.

At last the last piece was broken and he thrust the other ties down into the long opening he had made.

At that moment the train, roupding the curve, hashed into the cut, and the flashing headlight, not twenty feet away, almost blinded the eyes of the twain.

Morgan Duke stepped from the track and threw himself upon the heap of disordered ties, utterly exhausted. He saw triumph in the girl's eyes, and watched her as the train came on.

Oh, for strength to hurl her upon the track and beneath the wheels of the thundering train. Her revolver had ceased to cover him, but he oould not have lifted a child.

The train dashed by. tol saw her lover's face for a moment, and an exclamation of thankfulness welled from her heart. He was? safe, and the precious lives that he carried westward had escaped Morgan Duke's machinations! "You're a worker, Morgan D'*ke." she said to him, smiling. "We will separate here."

He looked at her for a moment in silience. "Are you going to tell?'' he said at last, "Such men as you are dangerous." "Then you are going to expose me?" "I am."

He did not reply. They parted forever there. Morgan Duke was never caught by the officers of the law but justice afterward overtook him. The iron wheels of a mad train crushed him on the track.

The company presented Ytol with a beautiful house when her husband took charge of the car shops. I know she will never forget her night in Gwynn's Cut with her rejected lover.
