We lay under the palms that night, and in the morning began our perquisition afresh, now hunting up and down tho narrow lanes and alleys of the town, as wo had scoured those of Alicante, in vain, until, persuaded of the uselessness of our quest, we agreed to return to Alicante, in tho hope of finding there a letter from Don Sanchez. But (not to leave a singlo stono unturned) wo settled wo would call once again on Sidi ben Ahmed and ask if he had any tidings to give us, but openly feeling, wo wo-o ro match for him at subterfuge. So to his house wo went, where we ■wero received very graciously by tho old merchant, who, chiding us gently for being in tho neighborhood a wholo day without giving him a call, prayed us to enter his unworthy parlor, adding that wo should find there a friend who would be very pleased to see us.

COPYRIGHT 1895, tty Mcu MILLAN CO. Mayor Wing Used Dr. The Lehigh Valley Railroad, at the Ravine crossing on North Main street, was on Saturday the scene of a very serious and yet exceedingly fortunate accident. Three Pullman sleepers attached to express train No. 6,due here from Buffalo at about 2 a. m. ,were badly wrecked, causing quite a loss, but nobody was hurt. for I take it, my dear," adds Ik. ' will be content to star with i • lion Greene's In the midst of our heroics I 'rui greatly scared by perceiving a cloaked figure coming hurriedly toward us in the dim light. CHAPTER XXMfl. "No, no; only wo throe," says Moll. "Yes," answers she, " 'I s a 11101 cheerful view of the river from tliowii dows.'' She made no reply nor any comment for a long time, nor did I seek to bias hor judgment by a single word, doubting my wisdom. But I perceived by the quivering of her arm within mine that a terrible conflict 'twist psission and principle was convulsing every fiber of her being. At the top of the hill abovo Greenwich sho stopped, and, throwing LcmJl her hood, let tho keen wind blow upon her face as sho gazed over the trrav flats bevond the river. And the air seining to give her strength and a clearer perception she says presently: "Aye, there's enough in all conscience, and seeing we know a bit of tho language wo shall get on well enough without mm. l do long, Moil, to see you a-flinging over my shoulder, with your clappers goimg, your pretty eyes and cheeks all aglow with pleasure and a house full of senors and caballeros crying'Hola I' and casting their handkerchiefs at your feet." Nervura in His Family with Decided Benefit— Sho tucked up her skirt and sleeves to busy herself in household matters, and when I won Id have relieved her of this office she begged me to go ;uid bear her father company, saying wit h a piteous look in her eyes that wo must leave her notti* occupation, or she should weary. She was pule, there were dark lines beneath her eyes, and she was silent, but i saw 110 outward sign ui griei tin vne afternoon, when, coming from Jack's shop unexpected, I spied her sitting by the window, with her face in her hands, bowed over a piece of cloth wo had bought in the morning, which she was about to fashion into a plain gown, as being more suitable to her condition thiin tho rich dress in which sho had left the court. Marked and "'Tis another, come to succor his friends," whispers L "Let us step into this hedge." "That is likely enough," says I, not a little surprised by his reasoning. But love sharpens a man's wit, bo it never so dull. The exact cause of the accident is a mystery. The train, in ohaTge of engineer Al. Mason, of Sayre, and conductor J. Jackmon, of Buffalo, had just got over the crossing wLen something happened to the front truck of tbe first Pullman coach, the three Pullmans being the last on the train. It looks as though a piecc of ironwork dropped to the track. At any rate, the truck was derailed, as also were the remaining truck of the first car and the two trucks of the next car. "Too late," returns ha "Put on a bold face. 'Tis only one." Makes all Strong and well. With a swaggering gait and looking straight before us, we had passed the figure, when a voice calls "Father I" and there, turning, we find that 'tis poor MolX in her husband's cloak. About fl the morning I was awoke by tho door bursting suddenly open, and. starting np in my bed I see Dawson at my side, shaking in every limb and his eyes wide with terror. Moll fetched a long, fluttering sigh, and turning to her father says in an absurd way: "Yes, dear, yes. When shall "Where is thy husband, child?" asks Dawson as he recovers from his astonishment, taking Moll by the hand "Accommodation 1" And she repeats this unlucky word of mine twice or thrice, as if sho liked it 1**8 each time. "That means we shall agree to let bygones be bygones and d(t our Ix'st to get along together for tho rest of our lives as easily as we may." Then, falling to discussing particulars, Dawson, clasping his luuids upon his stomach, raked with a long face if at we go?" "Moll's gone!" cries ho and falls a-blubliering. "I have no husband, father," answers she piteously. "Gone!" says I, springingont of bed. " 'Tis not possible." this season we were likely to fall in with the equinoxes on our voyage, and also if we could not hit some point of Spain so as to avoid crossing the Pyrenees mountains and the possibility of falling again into the hands of brigands. To which I replied that, knowing nothing of the northern part of Spain and its people, wv stoiHl a chance of finding u rude climate, unsuitable to traveling at this time of yiDar, and an inhospitable reception, and that, as our object was to reach tlie south as quickly sis possible, it would !«• more to our advantage to find a ship goin - through the straits which would C-;nry i.» as far as Alicante or Valencia. And. Moli»«:»portitig my argument vC ryvigoiub ly, I law.son gave way with much less reluctance than I expected at the outset, but, indeed, the good fellow seemed now ready to mako any sacrifice of himself so that he might see his Moll joyous again. "Sho has not lain in her bed, and ono saw her go forth last night as the doors were closing, knowing her for aforoigner by her hood. "Come with me," adds ho, laying his hand on a chair for support. "I dare not go alone." "Why, sure he hath not turned yon out of doors?" At this my heart bounded to such nn extent that I could utter never a word (nor could Dawson either), for I expected nothing le -s than to find this friend was our dear Moll, and so, silent and shaking with feverish anticipation, we followed him down the tiled passage and round the inner garden of his house by the arc;ide till wo reached a doorway, and there, lifting aside the heavy hangings, ho bade us enter. Wo pushed by him in rude haste, and then stopped of a sudden, in blank amazement, for, in place of Moll, whom wo folly thought to find, we discovered only Don Sanchez, sitting on some pillow's and smoking a Moorish chibouk. When the train came to a standstill about 200 feet below the point where the track left the rails, the situation was as follows: The first Pullman coach, stripped of tracks and everything tlse below the platform, eat rocking on the rails, scarcely a foot out of the way at either end. The second Pnllman coach lay with its front end on the track, while under its rear end, which was hoisted high in the air, the trucks of both cars were piled in a confused mass. The vestibnled ends of both cars were broken more or lees, but the interior was intact The front trunk of third Pnllman cat was damaged, but did not leave the trace. "No; he'd not do that," says she, "were I ten times more wicked than I am." "That's it, my dear," says I cheer- "Poor sonl!" thinks I, "here is a sad awaking from thy dream of riches and joy!" fnlly. "What folly then is this?" asks her father. "Hush up the past,"continues she in the same calculating tone. "Conceal it from the world if possible. Invent some new lie to deceive the curious, iind hoodwink our decent friends. Chuckle at our success and come in time" (here she paused a moment) "to chat so lightly of our past knavery that we could wish we h:id gone further in the business." Then turning about to me she asks, "If you were writing the story of my life for a play, would you end it thus?" "Aye, I'll go with ye, Jack, whither?" but " 'Tis no folly. I have left him of my own free will, and shall never go back to him. For he's no more my husband than that house is mine (pointing to the court). "Both were got by the same means, and both are lost'' Upon a seasonable occasion I told Dawson we must soon begin to think of doing something for a livelihood—a matter which was as yemoto from his consideration as the day of wrath. "Down to the sea," says he hoarsely. I stopped in tho midst of dressing, overcome by this fearful hint, for, knowing Moll's strong nature, the tlv night hiul never occurred to me that sho might do away with herself. Yet now reflecting 011 her strange manner of late, especially her parting with us overnight, it seemed not so impossible neither. For here, seeing tho folly of our coming hither, desponding of any happiness in tho future, was tho speed iest way of ending a life that was burdensome to herself and a constant sorrow to us. Nay, with hor notions of poetic justice drawn from plays, she may have regardod this as the only atonement she could mako her husband, the only means of giving him back freedom to mako a happier choice in marriage. With these conclusions taking shape I shuffled on my clothes, and then, with shaking fear, we two, hanging to each other's arms for strength, made our way through tho crooked streets to tho sea, and then, seeing a group of men and women gathered at the water's edge some little distanco from us, we dared not go farther, conceiving 'twas a dead body they wero regarding. But 'twas only a company of fishers examining their haul of fishes, as wo presently perceived. So, somewhat cheered, we cast our eyes to the right and left, and, seeing nothing to justify onr fears, advanced along the coast to the very end, where it juts out into the sea, with great stones around to break tho surf. "Why, Kit," says he, "I've as good as £50 yet in a liolo at the chimney back.'' Then briefly she told how they had beeu turned from the gate by Peter, and how Mr. Godwin was now as poor and homeless :is we. And this news throwing us into a silence with new bewilderment, she asks us simply whither wo are going. "Aye, but. when that's gone?" Fays L "That's a gixxl way hence, Kit, but then* never was such a man as you for goiiiK forth to meet troubles half way. However, I warrant I shall find some jobs of ear]*'iitry to keep ns from begging our bread when the pinch comes." "My dear," says I, "a play's one thing, real life's another, and believe me, as far as my experience goes of real life, the less heroics there are in it the better parts are those for the actors in't." "My daughter—iny Moll!" cries Dawson in despair. "Where is she?" Several circumstances combined to make t'ie accident so fortunate as regaids the lives of the passengers. At the point where the derailed cars came to a standstill, which is just midway between the crossing and Patterson & Co 'a office, there are stone walls on both sides of the track. These prevented the oars from going to tha side, while the train was not running at so great a speed as to result in a telescope. "By this time," replies Don Sanchez, rising, "your daughter should be in Barbary." "Mypoor Moll!" is all the answer he can make, and that in a broken, trembling voice. Not content to wait for this pinch, 1 resolved I would go into the city and inquire there if the booksellers could give me any employment, thinking I might very well write some good ser- She shook her head fiercely in the wind, and, turning about with a brusque vigor, cries: "Come on. I'll have no accommodation. And yet," says she, stopping short after a couple of hasty steps and with a fervent earnestness in her voice, "and yet, if I could wipe out this stain, if by any act I could redeem my fault, God knows I'd do it, cost what it might, to be honored once again by my dear Dick'' When I entered his shop tho next morning, I found him with his coat off, cutting capers, a wooden platter in his hand for a tambourine aud tho sweat pouring down his face. [TO 15K CONTINUED ] " 'Tis no good to cry," says she, dashing aside her tears that bad sprung at this word of loving sympathy and forcing herself to a more cheerful tone. "Why, let us think that we are just awake from a long sleep to find ourselves no worse off than when we fell a-dreaining. Nay, not so ill," adds she, "for you have a home near London. Take me there, dear." REUNION OF 1420 PtNN.

A Regiment in Which Pittston is Interested. While nobody was hurt, except that one of the colored porters was thrown violently on his head when the crash oame, the passengers, nearly all of whom were in their berths at the time, must have reeeivel as lively a shaking up as they aver experienced in their lives. A company of foot ball enthusiasts, friends of the Cornell team from Ithaca, bound for New York, to witness a game there today, were on board, and when it was learned that nobody was hurt they indulged in quite a lively time, though at first some badly soared people hustled out of the cars. "With all my heart, chuck," answers her father eagerly. "There at least I can give you a shelter till your husband can offer better." "This comes of living in a theater all her life," thinks I. And indeed in this, as in other matters yet to bo told, the teaching of the stage was but too evident.Learning that a convoy for tho Lovant was about to set sail with tho next favorable wind from Chatham, we took horse and rode there that afternoon, and by great good luck we found tho Faithful Friend, a good ship bound for Genoa in Italy. Whereof Mr. Dixon, the master, having intent to enter and victual at Alicante, undertook to carry us thero for £10 a head, so being wo could get all aboard by tho next evening at sundown. NEXT REUNION MAY BE HELD HERE. Ail Old Plttstonlan and Member of Co. HON. GEORGE W. WING, MAYOR OF MONTPELIER, VT. K Write* the Ga/.ette on tlie Subject— She would not dispute this point, though I perceived clearly her mind was resolved fully never to claim her right to Mr. Godwin's roof, but only begged we should hasten on our way, saying she felt chilled, and in passing Mother Pitch's cottage she constrained ns to silence and caution. Then, when we were safely past, she would have us run, still feigning to be cold, but in truth, as I think, to avoid being overtaken by Mr. Godwin, fearing maybe that he would overrule her will This way we sped till Moll was fain to stop with a little cry of pain, and chipping her hand to her heart, being fairly spent and out of breath. Then we took her betwixt us, lending her our arms for support, and falling into a more regular pace made good progress. The K«j;lmeut Will Come iff Our Peo- Hon. George W.

One of regiments participating in the war for the Union in which PUtston holds a special Interest is the 14id Pennsylvania Volunteers. This because one of its companies—K—was re.-rni.ed here, end some of the survivors are yet residents of this community. The fiftb reunion of the survivors o£ the regiment was held a few weeks ago iu Mt. Pleasant, Pa., aud we are favored with a copy of the journal containing the report of the proceedings by Thomas Prcthero, a member of Oo K, aud a former resident of this city. It wouid •jem from the newspaper report, which occupies four whole columns, that the re onion was a great eveut for the remaining bjya of the 1421, aud tnat lit.

The dec.irations were great, and the other preparat.ons for the reunlou Were eqaally extensive. Ia the morning t lere was a parade. A pleasing feature was a tiig salute to the veterans as they marched by tie 800 school children of tat town, arranged along the line of parade At the armory the veterans were sumptu ously banqueted Theu fol'owed adjourn meat to the opera hou-w, wnare the basinets meeting was held.

And  tie fifth reunion of this gallant old regv ment became history. Hero was short grace, to bo sure, but wo did so dispatch our affairs that we wero embarked iiiduo time, and by daybreak tho following morning were under weigh. Before daylight, the wrecking crews from White Haven, Wilkeebarre and Coxton were on the ground, with Superintendent Mitchell, Trainmaster Bardo and Yardmaster Brown, and the work of straightening out the wreck was set about in earnest. The broken trucks were first pulled out, new ones substituted, and then the oars were taken away to sidings without much trouble. Bnt little damage was done to the track, and by one o'clock In the afternoon trains were running over the road aa usual, the canal tracks having been used in the meantime. "What'samiss, Jack?" asks I one day when I found him thus. Here, then, with deadly apprehensions, wo peered among the rooks, holding our breath, clutching tight hold of one another by tho hand, in terror of finding that wo so eagerly searched—a hood, a woman's skirt clinging to the stones, a stiffened hand thrust up from tho hipping waters. Never may I forget the sickening horror of the moment when, creeping out amid tho rocks, Dawson twitches my hand and points down through tho clear water to something lying white at the bottom It looked for all the world like a dead face, colored a greenish white by tho water, but presently we saw, by one end curling over in the swell of a wave, that 'twas only a r:ig of paper. He looked to see that tho door was shut, and then says ho gloomily: "She doesn't sing as slio used to, Kit; she doesn't laugh hearty." I rpled her sitting by the window CHAPTER XXXIV.

Hearing of my purpose the morning I was about to go, Moll takes me aside and asks me in a quavering voice if I knew where Mr. Godwin might bo found. This question stagger ed me a moment, for her husband's name had not been spoken by any of us since the catastrophe, and it came into my mind now that she designed to re turn to him, and I stammered out some foolish hint at Hurst Court. We reached Alicauto the 15th March, after a long, tedious voyage. During this time I had ample opportunity for observing Moll, hut with little relief to my gloomy apprehensions. Sho rarely quitted her father's side, being now as sympathetic and considerate of him in his sufferings as before sho had been thoughtless and indifferent. Sho had ever a gentle word of encouragement for him; she was ever kind and patient. Only once her spirit seemed to weary. That was when wo had boon beating about in the bay of Cadiz four days for a favorable galo to take us through the straits. We were on dock, sho and I, the sails flapping the masts idly abovo our heads. I hunched my shoulders. "She dCjesn't play us any of her old pranks," oontinui ho. "Sho doesn't say one thing and go and do t'other the next moment, as she used to do. Sho's too good." It la not a patent medlolne, bat the presort ptlon of the most successful specialist* in onrlag nervous and chronic dlseases- Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical dis covery is the resnlt of his vast experience The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will oare, and the fact that he oan ba consulted at any time free of charge, personally or by lettei, gives absolute assuranoe of the beneficial action of this wonderful medlolne. We trudged on till we reached Croydon without any accident, save that at one point Moll's step faltering, and she with a faint sob weighing heavily upon our arms, we skipped, as thinking her strength overtaxed, and then, glancing about me, I perceived we were upon that little bridge where we had overtaken Mr. Godwin and he had offered to make Moll his wife Then I knew 'twas not fatigue that weighed her down, and gauging her feelings by my own remorse I pitied this poor wife even more than I blamed myself, for liad she revealed herself to him at that time, though he might have shrunk from marriage, he must have loved her still and so she had been spared this shame and hopeless sorrow.What could I say to one who was fond enough to think that the summer would oome back at his wish and List forever? Mayor Wing says: "I have used Dr. Greene's N ervura blood and nerve remedy in my family, with marked and decided benefit. The wreck, being so close to town, attracted hundreds of people, who stood on the banks at the sides of the traoks and watched with interest the work of clearing the track. "She's not the same, Kit," ho goes on. "No, not by 20 years. Ono would say she is older than I am, yet she's scarcc the age of woman. And I do see she gets more palo and thin each day. D'ye think she's fretting for him?" "No, he is not there*" says he, "but I thought maybe that Sir Peter Lely"— Then I iDersuadod Dawson to give up this horrid search and return to our posada, when, if wo found not Moll, we might more jnstly conclude sho had gone to Elche thau put an end to her life, and though we could learn nothing of her at our inn more than Dawson had already told me, yet our hopes wero strengthened in tho probability of finding her at Elclio by recollecting her earnest, secret conversation with the Moors, who might certainly have returned to Elche in .the night, they preferring that time for their journey, ns wo knew. So, having hastily snatched a repast, while onr huidlord was procuring mules for our uso, wo set off across the plain, doing our best to cheer each other on tho way. But I confess one thing damped my spirits exceedingly, and that was, having no hint from Moll tlie nitfht In-fore of this project, which then must have been tuiiy matured in her niiud, nor any written word of explanation and encouragement. For, thinks I, sho being no longer a giddy, heedless child, ready to play any prank without regard to the consequences, but a very considerate, remorseful woman, would not put us to this an xioty w i t hC nit cause. Had she resolved to go to her friends at Elche, sho would, at least, have comforted us with the hope of meeting her ugain, whereas this utter silence did point to a knowledge on her part that we wero sundored forever, and that sho could give us no hope but such as we might glean from uncertainty. "Especially has it been useful in insomnia, arising from indigestion and its attendant evils. I think well of Dr. Green 's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and freely grant permission to use this letter In "Aye," says I. "He will most likely know where Mr. Godwin may be found."

"Oh," says she, laying her hand on my shoulder and her wasted cheek against my arm, "oh, that it were all ended!" . Last Friday. Thomas Farrington, aged twenty-one, employed at the foot of an inside slope at Simpson & Watklns's Forty Fort mine, was fatally injured last Friday. At about eight o'clock he was working at the foot of the slope when the last ear of a trip of empties that was being lowered broke loose. It ran to the bottom, jumped the t-ack, and young Farrington wm caught between the car and the rib and so badly injured that he died at twelve o'clock. He lived with hla widow mother, Mrs. John Farrington, on Wyoming street, Forty Fort. The family formerly resided in Fittston.

"God forgive me," says he, hanging Sho was sweeter with mo than ever sho had been before; it seemed as if tho lovo brod in her heart by marriago must expend itself upon some one. But though this tenderness endeared her more to me it saddened me, and I would have had her at her tricks once more, making mouths at my expense. For I began to see that onr happiness comes from within suid not from without, and so fell despairing that ever this poor stricken heart of hers would bo healed, which set me a-repenting more sincerely than ever the mischief I had helped to do her. At Croydon we overtook a carrier on his way to London for the Saturday market, who for a couple of shillings gave us a place in his wagon with some good bundles of hay for a seat, and here was rest for our tired txjdies, though little for our tormented minds, till we reached Marsh End, where we were set down, and so, the ground being hard with frost, across the marsh to Greenwich about daybreak. Having the key of his workshop with him, Dawson took us into his lodgings without disturbing the other inmates of the house, who might well have marveled to see us enter at this hour with a woman in a man's cloak, and no covering but a handkerchief to her head, and Moll, taking his bod, we disposed ourselves on some shavings in his shop to get a little sleep. his head. The ".rash was terrifii, by reason of the great speed at which the runaway train came down the grade. Both of the engines were badly wrecked and the tenders were twisted all out of shape. Six coal cars of the runaway train were piled up in a heap, while four cars of the freight train were involved In the wreck. These were loaded with live sheep and calves, fresh beef and machinery. The oars were badly damaged, and twenty-one sheep and three calves were killed. "Wo didit for the best," saysl. "We could not foresee this." It so happened that night that Moll oould eat no supper, pleading for lior oxcuse that she felt sick. Yours for Plttston and Ca. K, Most Respectfully, Thomas Prothero. I carried the me to the city, wondering what was in it. I knov not now, yet I think it contained but a few words of explanation and farewell, with some prayer maylie that she might be f( •rgiven and forgotten. "What is it, chuck?" says Jack, setting down his knifo and drawing his chair beside Moll's. ALMOST A CENTENARIAN. Mrs. Sarah Jackson Passes Away at the "The vapors, I think," says she, with a faint smile. Age of Ninety. Mrs. Sarah Phenix Jackson died at the hr me of her step son, W. H. Jackson, on Lucerne avenue, November 8, at 6:30 p- m., at the ripe old age of 90 years. The immediate canse of her death was a stroke of paralysis received last July, although Bhe had recovered sufficiently to get around among her many rela tives and friends. Lait Friday, however, she took to her bed from which she did not again rise. Her maiden name was Sarah Paenix, she was born in N jxen, Wyoming county. She was married to Samuel Jackson, who died in 18S8. Mrs. Jackson's father, Henry Phenix, lived to the age of 108 years, and voted at every presidential election from Washington to Hayes. Her other child ren are Ja'uez, of Wllkeebarre ; E B, of Lackawanna, and Mrs. Jennie Parrlsh, of Dallas. Learning where Sir l'eter Lely lived. i myseii went to ms nouse, ana ne mn being at home I asked his servant ii Mr. Godwin did sometimes come there. "Nay," says he, slipping his arm about her waist and drawing hor to him. "My Moll hath no such modish humors. 'Tis something else. I have watched ye, and do perceive you eat less and less. Toll us what ails you." As no such entertainments wero to be had, this being tho season of Lent, which is observed very strictly in tlioso parts, Dawson contented himself with taking Moll out to visit the shops, and here ho speedily purchased a pair of clappers for her, a tambour for himself and a guitar for me, though we wero difficult to please, for no clappers pleasCDd Moll as those sho had first bought, and it did seoin to mo that I could strike no notes out of any instrument but they hiid a sad, mournful tone. The wrecking crews from Coxton, Wllkeebarre and White Haven were on the ground as soon as possible, and by ten o'cloch Sunday morning the traoks were cleared sufficiently to permit traffic to be resumed. The loss by the wreck will be heavy, as the freight engines wrecked were fine pieces of machlnefy. "Why, yes, sir, he was here but yesterday," answers he. "Indeed never a day passes but he calls to :isk if any one hath sought him." SERIOUS FIRE AT KINGSTON. The Barns and Crops of Farmer Culver "Well, dear," says she, "I do believe 'tis idleness is the root of my disorder." Totally Destroyed. After this wo sat silent awhilo, looking into the embers; then Jack, first to give expression to his thoughts, says: Last Friday afternoon the large baraa and out buildings of far ner T P Culver, at the corner of Prlngle and Chestnut streets, near the C tthollo Church in Klngeton, took fire, and were totally destroyed, together with crop* and farming utensils. The horses were saved, though one wm severely burned Owing tj the break In the Spring Brook pipe at Plttston Junction, there was no water to be had readily, and not until the engine wis attached to a private pipe were the flamee got under control. The or 'gin of the fire la unknown. "In that c;ise," says I, slipping a piece in his ready hand and fetching out Moll's letter, "you will give him this when he comC« next.'' Dawson was already risen when I awoke, and going into his little parlor 1 found him mighty busy setting the place in order, which was in a sad lmohelor's pickle, to be sure—all littered np with odds and ends of turning, unwashed platen, broken victuals, etc., just as he liad left it. "I think you were never so happy in your life, Moll, as that time we were in Spain, nor can I recollect over feeling so free from caro myself—after wo got out of tho hands of that gentleman robber. There's a sort of infectious brightness in the sun, and the winds, blow which w:.y they may, do chase away dull thoughts and disjiose ono to jollity. Eh, sweetheart? Why, we met never a tattered vagabond on the road but he was hallooing of ditties, and a kinder, more hospitable set of peoplo never lived. With a couplo of rials in your pocket yon feci as rich and independent as with £100 in your hand elsewhere." "That I will, sir, and without fail. But if you would see him, sir, he bids me say he is ever at his lodging in HollxDrn from fD in tho evening to K in the morning." PITTSTON STILL WINNING. Defeats tbe Crescents of Wilkesbarre in a Then nothing would satisfy him but to go from one draper's to another, seeking a short skirt, a waistcloth and a round hat to Moll's taste, which ended to his disappointment, for sho could find nono like the old. Hard Fought Game. Arriving at Elehe, wo made straight for the house of the merchant, Sidi ben Ahmed, with whoso family Moll had been so intimate previously. Here we were met by Sidi himself, who, after laying his fingers across his lips and setting his hand upon his heart, in token of recognition and respect, asked us very civilly our business, though without any show of surprise at seeing us. But these Moors do pride themselves upon a stoic behavior at all times and make it a p nut to conceal any emotion they may feel, so that men never can trulv in dire of their feolinsrs. The Plttston foot ball team met the Creeoent club, of Wllkeebarre, on the West Side commons in their second game this season on Saturday afternoon, and again demonstrated their superiority. It was an excellently played game, each club playing with a determination to win or die in tbe attempt. While It was a good game It was also an unusually rough one, many of the players coming out of the struggle with "honorable" soais. The Ore«oent's defensive work was excellent. Tnelr line was also strong and bnt very sotall gains could be made through their centre. The flaying of the Plttston team was something fioe, every member playing a star game. Blackburn circled left end and Starband tackled him. In doing so he struck a sharp stone, severing a vein over the right eye. Two physicians, who were on the ground, put four stitches in the cut. "She's asleep," says he in a whisper, "and I'd have this room like a little palace against she comes into it, so do you lend me a hand, Kit, and make no more noise than you can help. The kitchen's through that dC»or. Carry everything in there, and what 's of no use fling out of the window into the road." " 'Twill answer all ends if you give him that letter. Ho is in good health, I hope." Accompaiying the above report wae a proposition to hold the next reunion of toe regiment in Pittstoa. The matter is folly aet forth in the following letter from Comrade Prothro, which we-are sure will interest alt local uurvivora and friends of the regiment, as well our patriotic citizens generally who, we feel no htsitancy in saying, will be pleased (o receive the veterans at their next reunion, if the scheme in once placed on foot by a competent leader: "Well, sir, ho is and ho isn't, as you may say," answers ho, dropping into a familiar, confidential tow after easting his eye over nio to bo sure I was no great person. "Ho uils nothing, to be surf, for I hoar ho is ever afoot from morn till even a-searching hitlier and thither, but a more downhearted, rueful looking gentlonian for his ago I never see. 'Twixt you and mo, sir, I think ho hath lost his sweetheart, seeing I ;un charged, with Sir Peter's permission, to follow and not lose sight of any lady who may chanoe to eall hero for him. " "Why, don't you like this?" ho would say, holding up a gown. "To my eyes 'tis the very imago of t'other, only fresher." ANOTHER COSTLY WRECK. FIRE IN W1LKESBARRE. Richard George's Double Hons* on the Setting to with a will, we got the parlor and kitchen neat and proper, plates washtMl, tiles wiped, pots and pans hung up, furniture furbished up, and everything in its place in no time. Then, leaving me to light a Are in the parlor, Dawson goes forth a-marketing, with a basket on his arm, in high glee. And truly to see the pleasure in his face later on, making a moss of bread and milk in one pipkin and cooking eggs in another, for now wi hoard Moll stirring in her chamber, one would have thought that this was un occasion 'or rejoicing rather than grief, and this wm due not to want of kind feeling, bat to Jie fo»»d, simple nature of him, he being ma*ly enough in some ways, but a very child in others. He did never see farther than his nose, ;is one says, and because it gave him joy to have Moll beside him once more he must needs think hopefully that she will quickly recover from this reverse of fortune, and tliat all will come right again. And she, demurring, whispers, "Tomorrow, dear, tomorrow," with plaintive entreaty for delay in her wistful eyes. A Runaway Train on the- Mountain Cnt Heights Destroyed. At this point Moll, who had hitherto listened in apathy to these eulogies, suddenly pushing back her chair, looks at us with a strango look in her eyes, and says under her breath, "Elchol" OR' the Cause. At five o'olcck on Saturday fire broke oat In Richard Gsorgt'd large doable dwelling honee on East Market street, Wilkeebarre Heights, and It was totally destroys J. The firemen were on hand promptly, bat the water supply was so short and the tUmeg had gained each great headway before their arilyal toat all they coald do was to save the adjoining honeee. One side of the bnrned building was o  by a family named Davis, while the other side was vacant, a family having moved out of It Friday. A very coetly wreck occurred on tbe Mountain cut-off of the Lehigh Val'ey road on Saturday evening, though fortunately no llvee were loet. A runaway train was the canse of the wrCck, and it was a very exciting uffa r. Disheartened, but not yet at tho end of his resources, her father at last proposed that sho should tako a turn through the town alone and cliooso for herself. "For," says lie, "I believo we do rather hinder than help you with our advico in such matters.'' It occurred to us that if Moll were still living she had either returned to England or gono to Don Sanchez at Toledo, wha-e wise counsels sho had ever held in high respect The former supposition seemed to me the better grounded, for it was easy to understand how, yearning for him night and day, she should at length abandon every scruple and throw herself at his feet, reckless of what might follow. Backktt's IIauiior, N. Y., Oct. 2j, 1895 "Baxcelony for my money," responds Dawson, whoso memories of Elohe wero not so cheerful its of those parts where wo had !C*! a more vagabond life. Editor Gazette ; On the 8 h of October last tt wae my privilege, as a survivor of oar Pituton Co K to mwt at a reunion of onr Regiment, 1421 P. V., at Mount Pleasant, Pa As several reuuions or the R-gimeiit have been held in Western Pena sylvanla, it wae thought advisable, in jistice to our survivors in East rn Pennsylvania, to meet somewhere in fiat section at our next reunion—either Pittston, Siroudsburg, where uur C j. G was recruited, or Philadelphia—the preference being for Pitteton. Being the only representative of Co. K present—ind acting with the fall consent of our Colonel and officers of our reunions, I took the liberty of tenderlog a provisional in vltatlon from Pittston as the next location fC r our Regimental reunion Will you klcdy confer with yon c citizens, and see if it is their wish t int we shall meet you nejt reunion—your clergy, uress, the Hon Mayor and councl e, your G.

Should yon act favorable yon can depend on eur re union committee heartily co-ope;ating with you in making the reuuion of the grand eld regiment—in whoee ranks the hero o; Gettysburg, John Barns, fought with grand success—a red letter day in the history of Pittstoi and your county. Saturday evening at seven o'olock, a coal train left Coxton for Falrvlew. The first engine was In charge of George Hopeman, engineer, and at Deep Hollow tank, aboat twelve miles from C jxton, the engine was nrooupled and ran ahead of the train to lake water I walkod back to Greenwich across the fields, debating in iny mind whether I should tell Moll of her husband's distress or not, so ]Derplexed with conflicting arguments that I hadcomo to no decision when I reached home. "Eleho!" repeats Moll, twining her fingers, and with a smilo gleaming in her eyes. After a moment's reflection Moll agreed to this, and, saying she would meet ns at tho posada for supper, left us, and walked briskly back tho way wo had come. "Does it please you, chuck, to talk of those matters?" Tue l\itston boys are making for them selves a great record this year. This was their sixth successive victory and has not been scored upon either game. The score In Saturday's game was 8 to 0. Moll spying mo coming, from her window in the front of the house, mot me at the door in her cloak and hood and begged I would tako her a little turn over the heath. "Yes, yes!" returns sho eagerly. "You know not. the joy it gives me." When she wan gone, Dawson had never a word to say, nor I either, for dejection ; yet, had I been questioned, I could have found no better reason for my despondency than that I felt 'twas all a mistake coming here for happiness. " 'Twas near about this time of the year that wo started on our travels," said I. 'Twas not inconsistent with her impulsive character, and that more reasonable view of life sho had gained by experience and the long reflections on her voyage hither. And that which supported my belief still more was that a fleet of four sail (as I learned) had set forth for England tho morning after our arrival. So now, finding, on inquiry, that a carrier was to set out for Ttlledo that afternoon, I wrote a letter to Don Sanchez, tolling him the circumstances of our loss and begging him to let us Know, as spooouy as possiblo, if ho had heard anght of Moll. And in this letter I inclosed a second addressed to Mr. Godwin, having tho sanio purport, which I prayed D Dn Sanchez to send on with all expedition, if Moll wero not with him. Engine 310 was acting as pusher, Jimee MacMeekin being the engineer and Wm. Stnrtz the fireman, and owing to the heavy grade and the wet rails, it was an Dble to hold the train The engine was reversed and the brakes set but all to no avail. The train dashed down the mountain at a terrifio rate. NEW TRAFFIC MANAGER. Henry H. Kingston, of Philadelphia, Suc- ceeds the Late .John Taylor. "What have you to tell me?" asks slit pressing my arm as we walked on. "Aye, 1 recollect 'twas mighty cold when we set sail and the fruit trees wero all bursting into bloom when we came into Franco. I would we were there now; eh, Moll?" Third vice president John B. Garrett, of tUe Lehigh Valley railroad, announoee the appointment of Henry H. Kingston, of Philadelphia, as general traffic manager, to succeed John Taylor, deoeteed. Mr. Kingston was the assistant general traffio manager. "I have given your letter to Sir Peter Lely's servant, who promises to deliver it faithfully to your husband." Strolling aimlessly throh the narrow back ways, we came presently to tho market that stands against the port. And here, almost at the first step, Dawson catches my arm and nods toward the opposite side of tho market place. Some Moors were seated there in their white clothes, with bundles ofy young palm leaves, plaited up in varioui forms of crowns, crosses and the like—-which the people of this country do carry to church to be Messed on Palm Sunday— and these Moors I knew came from Elcho, because palms grow nowhere else in such abundance. We have for sale at the Wyoming Valley Lumber Company yards, West Pittston, Canada Hard Wood Ashes of the best quality. Parties wishing to use a few tons for the spring crop will do well to call on C F. Watrous, Jr., at the Lumber Co.'s offioe, who will sell yon any quantity re quired from a bushel to 20 tons. Special arrangements can be made for car .load lots. B. F. Mathers, Geo. Manager, Farmers Take Notice. Our dear Moll did nothing to damp bis hopes, but played lwr part bravely and well to spare him the anguish of remvse that secretly wrung her own heart. She met us with a cheerful countenance, admired the neatness of the parlor, the glowing fire, ate her share of porridge, and finding the eggs cooked hard declared she could not abide them soft. Then she would see her father Work his lathe, to his delight, and begged he would make her some cups for eggs as being more to our present fashion than eating them from one's hand. "Well," says sho, after a littlo pause of silence, "that is not all." "What, dear?" Asks sho, rousing herself at this direct question. Nothing ooenrred until a point near Heidelberg colliery No 2, at Smlthvllle, was reached. Here a train of mixed freight was on its way up the mountain, with engine 470 at the head, the engineer being Patrick Canby, the fireman George Ace, and the conductor Harvey Hosier. "You will bo glad to know that ho is well in health,'' says I. And then I stop again, all hanging in a hedge for not knowing whether it were wiser to speak or hold my tongue. "I say, what would you give to lie back there now, child?" "Oh, will yon tako mo thero if I Gallant Fight for Republican Suoceu. (Scranton Republican.) would go?" "With all my heart, do.ir Moll. Is there anything in the world I'd not do to make yon happy?" No newspaper in seven st*tes was happier over the result of the late election than the Pittston Gazette It blossomed all over with fltgs ani roottsrs and brooms and cats of successful Republican candidates as an evidence of its "j ibllant joy." Bat then no other Republican newspaper In the State had a better right to crow load than had the Gazette, for from start to finish it made a gallant fight for Republican euocees. "There is something else. I see it in your face. Hide nothing from me, for Jove's sake," says she piteously. Whereupon, my heart getting the better of my head, which, to be sure, was no great achievement, I told all as I have set it down hem The engineer of the runaway train having sounded danger signals with his w .lRtle, they were heard by the men on the oncoming engine, with the result that they abandoned their engine just before the crash came. The men on the ruuaway train also abandoned it before the engines came together, and thus not a single life was loet.
