PUT YOURSELF PI HIS PUCE.

A Novel of Thrilling Interest About the Great Strikes in England.

BY CHARLES READR,

l'i 'ontinned From Last Isauc.l

CHAPTER XLVI.

Ron id a great fire in the Town Hall •were huddled a number of half-naked creatures, wh had been driven out of their dilapidated homes some of them had seen children or relatives perish in the fljod they had themselves so narrowly escaped, and were )vinoanin^ t'n-io with chatter ng teeth.

Little spoke them a Vord,of comfort, promised them all clothe* as foon as the shops should open, and hurried off to the lower part of ths town in search of Rantoinc,

He noon found the line the flood had taken. Bstwcu Poma briJije and Hillsborough it had waited itself considerably in a broad valley, but still it had gone clear through Hillsborough twelve feet high, demolishing and drowning. Its terrible progress wa* marked by a layer of mud a foot thick, dottm with rocks, trees, wrecks of houses, machinery, furniture, barrel:-, mattresses, carcasses of animals, and dead bodies, most of them stark naked, th" racing flood having torn their clolh'.'S off their backs.

Four co-pses find two dead horse* were lying in a lake of mud about the very door of the railway station three of them were females in ab lutc nudity. The fourth was a male, wi one stocking on. This proved to be HilUbro' Harry, warned in vain up at Damfla-k. When he actually heard the flood come hissing, he had decided, on the whole, to d"cs, and had got-thj leng'h of that one stocking, when trte flying lake cut short his vegetation.

Not far from this, Littlii found Raniome, working lik a horse, with the tear in his eve.

He uttered asho.it of delight and surprise, an J, taking by both shoulders, gazed fjarnestlv at him, and ta d, "Can this be a living man I see?" "Ye-, I am alive," said LiuJ, "but I had to work lor it: fed my clothes." "Why, tliev are dryer than mine." "Aye yet. 1 have b?en in water I the throat the heat of my bodv and my great exartions dried them. I'll tell you all another day now show me to do god for it is not one nor two thousand pounds I'll stick at, this night." "Come 011

Strange sigh's they saw that night. They found a "dead body curled round the top frame of a lamp post, and, in lh suburb*, another jammed between a beam and the wull of a house.

They md s-ute houses with the front wall carried cL*in away, and, on the second fl or, *1:01 of tiie iatn.ites as had »urvived hudd!"d togctner 1 their night clothes, un.ble to get down. These, Ransonu: and his men speedily relieve from their situation.

And now came in word th.it the whole village of Pom a Bridge had b.-en destroyed

Little, with Ransom and his inen, hurried 011 at these sad tidings as fast as the mud and ruins would allyw, ano on the way one of the policemen trod on so ne thing soft. It wa-s the b.iJy of a woman, imbedded in the mud.

A little inrtier they saw, at soma distance, two cottages in a row, both gutted and emptied. An old man was alone in one, seated on the ground floor in the deep mud.

They went to him, and asked what they could d.1 for him. •'Do? Why, let me die," he said.

They tried to encourage him but he answered them in wo:d that showed how deeply old Sinloek's speech is founded in nature: "Let tne wa'.er take me—it has take.i all I had

When they aked afier his neighbors, he said ho b'lieved thev were drowned Unluckily for him, he had beenbut when the flood came.

Little clambered into the other cottage and found a little bov and git I pl.icidiy asleep in a cupboird up stairs.

Little yelled wi delight, and kissed them, and cuddled thjin. as if they had been his ow.i, so sweet was it to see ir pretty innocent faces, spared by death. The boy kissed him in return, and tjld him the room td been full of water, and d,ida and mamma had gone out at the window, and they they themselves had floated in the bed so high that he had put his little sister on the topsluh', and got on it liinulf, and they had both felt very sleepy. "You are a dear good boy, and I take you into cjstody," said Ranuome.

Judge if this pair were pelted, up at the Town Hall. At Poma Bridge the devastation was horrible. The flood had bombarded a row of fitly houses, and demolished them so utterly that only one arch of one cellar regained the very foundation were torn up, and huge holes of incredible breadth and depth bored by the furiou eddies.

Where were the inhabitant}? Ransome stoad and looked, and shook like a man in an ague. "Little," s:iid he, "this is awlul. Nobody in Hillsborough dreams of the ex tent of this calamity. I dread the dawn day. Toere must bi scores of dead bodies hidden in this thick mad. or psrhaps «wept through Hillsoorough into the very tea."

A little tarther, and they came to the Reindeer," where he had heard the boonompanions singing—over their graves fcrthit night, long before the "cock did Gaw,orthe day d.iw,"' their mouths were fiill of water and mud, and not the "barley b«ee."

To know their t'.ite needed but a glance kt the Miserable, sh ittered, gutted frag nentof the inn thxt stood. There was a himney, a triangular piece of roof, a uarter'of th in 4de of one second-floor torn, with all "he boards gone and half te is me, aid the others either hang\X

nvt/perpendicuiar

or sticking up nt

at Ie of forty fwe. Even on the side fa'fiest fro 11 ths flood the water had hake and ploughed away the wall so dcfelv, th-it the miserable wreck ha.l a jag^d w.ii-t, no bigger in proportion Vh.u a wasp's.

Nu far ho this amazing ruin was a little wo-storied house, whose four rooms lookdi exaj^yasfjur rooms are representee in :tiO 1 tiie s^age, the front wall hiving oeen blown clean away, and the futniture and inmates swept out the very fender and fire-irons had been carried avav a bird cage, a clock and a grate vorc left hanging to the three walls.

As a pari ot this village stood on high

ground, the survivors were within reach of relief and Little gave a policeman orders to buy clothes at the shop, and have them charged to him.

This done, he begged Ransome torross the water and relieve the .»oor wretches who had escaped so narrowly with' him. Ransome consented at once but then cam- a difficulty—the bridge, like every bridge that the flying lake had struck, was swept away. However, the stream was nanow, and, as they were already muddy to the knee, they found a place were the miscellaneous ruin made iteppmg stones and by passing first on to a piece of masonry, and from that to a broken waterwheel, and then on to a rock, they got across.

They passed the coiner's hou?b. It stood on high ground, and had gt oft* cheap. The water had merely carried away the doory an 1 windows, and washed every movable out of if.

Randoms sighed. "Poor Shifty!" said he -'you'll never play us another trick. What an nn end for a man ot your abilities!"

And ow the dav bezan to dawn, and that was fortunate, for otherwise they could hardly have found the house they were going to. 0,i the way to it they came 01 two dead bodies, an old man of eighty and a chjld scarce a week old. One fate had united these extremes of human life, the ripe sheaf and the spring bud. It transpired afterwards ih.it they had perished in different parishes. ath. that brought thee together, disunited hundreds. Poor Doltnin's body was found scarce a mile from hi* house, bir his wife's eleven miles tin the other side of Hillsborough and this wide teparati'ju of those two who died in ons place hv one death, was con *tant and pitiable a*.nrs of the tragedy.

At last they gos to the house, and Little shuddered ar audit o.'it here not only was tiie whole from will taken-out, but a part of tr.c back wall the jagged cliimuevs of the next house still clung to this miserable shell, whoe upper floors were planting sieve*, and on its lower was a deep layer of mud, with the carcass of a huge sow Iving on it, washed tnere all the way from Hatfield village.

The people had all run away from the house, and no wonder, for it seemed incredible that it could *tand a single mo nt longer never had ruin come so close to demolition and then stopped.

There was nothing to be done here?, and Ransome went back to Hillsborough, keeping this side the water.

Daybreak realized his worst fears: between Poma Bridge and the first suburb of Hillsborough the place wa? like a battle field not that many had en drowned on the ipot, but that, drowned all up the valley by the flood at its highest, they had been brought down and deposited in the thick layer of mud left by the abating waters.

S»m were cruelly gashed and man gled by the hard ol jtcts with which they had come in contact.

Others wore a peaceful expression and had color in their cheeks. One drew tears from both these valiant men. It was a lovely little girl, with her li tie hands before her facc to keep out the sight of death.

Here and there, a hand or a ghastly face appearing above t^e mud showed how many mast he hidden altogether, and Ransome hurried honte to get more assistance to disinter the dead.

Just befpre the suburb of Allerton the ground is a ilea I flat, and here the flying lake covered a space for a mile broad, doing frightful damage to property but not much to life, because wherever it expinded it shallowed in proportion.

In part of this flat a gentleman had a beautiiul garden and pleasure-grounds over night: they were now under water, and their appearance was incredible the flood expanding here and then cout: acting, had grounded large objccts and left small one® floating. In one part ot the garden it had landed a large wheat-rick, which now stood as if it belonged there, though it had been built five miles off.

In another part was an inve-ted sum-mer-house and a huge water-whe 1, both of them great travelers that night.

In the large fi-di pond, now much fuller than usual, fl atea a wheel-b irrow, a hair mattress, an oid wooden cradle, and an enormous box or chest.

Little went splashing through the water to examine the cradle: he was richlv rewarded. He found a little child in it awake but perfectly hanpy, and enjoying the fluttering bird's above and the buoyant bed below, whose treacherous nature was unknown to him. This incident the genious of my friend Mt. Millais it about to render immortal.

Littles shout of delight bro ight Ransome splashing over directly. They »ok up the cradle and contents to carry it home, when all of a sudden Ransome's eye detected a finger protruding through a Hole in the box. '•Hullo!" said he. Why, there's a bodv in»i.le the box!" "G od heavens!" slid Little, "he may be al .ve."

With tli it he made a rush and went in over his head an 1 ears. "Confound it!" said he as soon as he ro\ breath. But, being in for it now. he swam to the box. and, getting behind it, shoved it before him to Ransome's feet.

Ransome tried to open it, but it shut with a spring. However, there were air holes .and still this finger was sticking out of one—for' a signal, no doubt. "Are ye alive or dead?" shouted Ransome to the box. "Le me out and you'll see," replied the box and the sound seemed to i-sue from the bowels of the eartti.

Little had his hatched in his pocket and set to work to try to open it. Tne occupant assisted with advice how to pro ceed, all of which sounded subtcrraneous. "Hold your jaw," sai Little. "Do you think you can teach me?"

By a considerable exertion ot strength as well as skill, he at last got the box opsn, and discovered the occupant seated pale and chattering, with knees tucked Ui-. 1

The two men lent him a hand to hdp him up Ransome gave a slight start, and then expressed the wannest satisfaction. "Thank Heaven!" said he. "Shake hands, old fellow. I'm downright glad. I've baen groaning over you but I might have known you'd find some was to slip out of tr mble. Little, tiis is Shifty himself. Pleasa put your arm under hii he is as strong as iron, and is slippery as an cel."

The Shifty, hearing this account given of himself, instantly collapsed, and made himse'f weak as wjiter, and tottered from one of his guards to the other in turn. "I was all that once, Ransome," said he in in a voice that became suddenly as feeble as his body, "but this fearful night I has changed tne. Miraculously preserved from destruction, I have renoan

.ccdmy errors, an disown my pa-1 life with horror 'hen swear me in a special constable, and let me have the honor of acting under your orders, and of co operating W th you, sir," (to I ittle), "in your

At four o'clock he rose, »ot into a han som, and dro'e up to Woodbine Villa the happiest man in England.

He inq lir Miss Garden. The man said he believed she was not up, but would inquire. "Do," said Little. 'Tell her who it is. I'll wait in the dining-room."

Christian and charitable acts. Let tne go about with you, gentleme.., and relieve the ifteringsof others, as you have relieved mine." '•There!" said Ransome, proudly there's a man for you. He knows every move of the game—can putter like an archbishop." So saying, he handcuffed the Shifty with such enthusiam that the convert swore a horrible oath at him.

Ransome apologized, and beckoning a constable, handrd him the Shifty. "Take him to the Town Hall, and give him every comfort. He Is Number One."

This man's e-cape was not strange as it apeared. The flood never bonbarded h:s house—he wa« only on the hem of it. It rose and filled his house, whereuooii he bored three holes in his great chest, and got in. He washed about »h room till the abating flood contraa ed and then it sucked him and his bo* 0.1 of the window. He got frightened, and let the lid down, and so drifted ab :it till at last he floated into the hands of justice. -}«. x. ar"

Little and Runs me carricd the child away, and it was conveyed to the hospital and a healthy nurse assigned it.

Ransome prevailed on Little to go home, change his wet clothes and lie do-.vn for an hour or two. He consented but first gave Ransome an order to lay out a thousand pounds, at his expense, in relief of the sufferers.

Then he went home, sent a message to Raby Hall that he was all right, took off his clothes, rolled exhausted into bed. and slept till the af erncon.

He walked into the dining-room before the man could object, and there he found a 6ick gentleman, wilh Dr. Amboyne and a surgeon examining him. The pitient lay on a sofa, extremely pale, and groaning with pain.

One glance sufficed. It was Frederick Coventry. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

With the internal operation of railroad companies the State Register has? no concern, but the external operationsof railroads are matters which affect every citizen, and which are, therefore, proper subjects of dicussion. There 10 doubt that the producing interest* 01 the state are obliged to pay tribute to the transportation companies and now that transportation is as legitimate business as produciion, both production and transportation ought to be free i"rom governmental interference, and each 'jeing free, will find its greatest proti a.id will reach its highest development.

It is in consonance with these ideathat we cad attention to the Wabash Railway, as offering advantages to the producers of Central Illinois, which no other transportation company is able to offer. The branches of this line tap the grain and meat producing section of the Mississipi Valley at Burlington, Peoria Keokuk, Warsaw, Quincy, Hanniba and St. Louis. All these are importan points of concentration, and these branch lines strike the main line at Decatur, and finally at Lafayette, in the grand plan 1 moving western products to eastern markets.

It is, however, as an Illinois railway that the Wuba*h is of special interest to our readers. Its main line runs through tiie great farming counties of the state, and with its branches, gives the produce ot Central Illinois a direct eastern »utlet, without obliging it to pay tribute to Cnicago siock ardn, elevators, commis s'on dealers, or ihe ct libra ted corner op erators there. The aJvat tages of this I

:ne

are very great, and its increasing business shows they are full appreciated, During the late htrike its business was less interrupted than that of any of the great through lines, for the reason that its employes are liberally treated, and because, also, the management did not attempt to pnnish employes or patrons by needlessly stooping transit.
