There was a snow storm on the morning
of the day fixed for the execution of Jonna
Toms, who had been convicted of Ibe mnr-der
of the old farmer, Joseph Kendall. The
down train on the branch from X to
the county neat hail come through without
(treat difficulty, and the up train-with a
load of morbidly-curious men, who had
taken passage for the purpose of witneneinit
the stranger's plan. The engine responded
to the throttle and came out on tbu main
track slowly— the yardman looking after it
in astonishment, then starting on a ri'n to
see what mad man's impulse seemed to
control the man nt the lever? The tele-graph
operator waa rapid in his move-ments,
and when the engine steamed pant
the platform on the track that led to the
county seat he delivered to the man, whom
he now regarded as a hero, the message
properly sealed and authenticated.
"Cod bleae you," he called after the
unknown, "and aave you from the gravel
train."
The road to the county seat was a single
track ami the gravel train sent out to keep
the road-bed clear of drifts was liable to be
collided with upon any curve by the engine
running without schedule or orders, but

the hanging—waa at laat reported as having the stranger merely smiled as be pulled
the throttle lever further back. The engine
dashed up the track, the engineer atauding
iii the door-way of his home and looking at
it ngbaat, while the station agent and train
dispatcher hastened to the telegraph office
to Itani the reason of the engine's departure
on a "wild cat" trip.
The engineer rushed up to the platform
where stood the operator explaining to the
dispatcher how ic happened that the
stranger took out the engine.
'T.ut he will nut get through," said the
i!i<p:ilchcr, "for he has no fireman."
"Vis. I'P has," exclaimed the engineer,
"he's doin' the firiu' too. He's just lettin'
her run, he'll just fire and whistle."
And, as if to confirm the engineer's
statement, the scream of the steam renihed
their ears—the whistle shrieking a frantic
d'liiai.d for a clear track.
reached the county seat. So the road was
open, and if the .now did not drift into the
cuts, there would be no need of sending out
the snow plow.
Jonas Toms waa looking through the
gratiog of his cell when th. whistle of the
up train reached him, and, for a half hour,
be waited expectantly, hope not failing
him until the Sheriff came to the cell door
and shook bauds with him in silence.
"She did not come?" the condemned
raid, desrariogly.
11 No. She waa uui un the train, hut
there are Iw h itira yet and I hare put a
deputy at the telegraph office with orders
to run here at ouce with any message."
"You are very kind, Sheriff," Jonas
faltered and turned away from the grated
door.
"It wouldn't bo tinman not to try to
make an ugly job like this as easy as pos-sible,"
muttered the Sheriff, "and I never
was snre Jonas was guilty, though he
couldn't prove he wasn't."
The Sheriff's opinion of the case was
shared by a great many citixena of the
iviunty of——ami they had signed a peti-tion
to the (lovernor for a respite fur the
prisoner, and n commutation of his sentence,
if the ti.iveroor nuold not see his way rl.'ar
to grunt a p ird.ni. With this petition Mis.
Jonas Toms had gone to the capital to iu:ike
UN of it in pleading for her husband's life.
That morniug the prisoner bad looked lor
her return with d< finite information con-cerninc
him whether he was to die or
not. As no word had been received from
her, be was not bopeful, and he bad really
expected her to come ba k to him ouly for
a final leave taking.
Vet, when the Sheriff'sjioke of tho tele-graph,
hope asserted itself ngain A'ld Jonas
was tiuoyed with imagining his di-vot. d
wife wrestling with t he < ieiveritor ami rerlue
ing to abandon tLc alroggle fur hi r hus-band
until it was useless to plead longer.
And while the condemned was thus
catching at a straw, and his heart wasover-flowing
with love and gratitude to his de-voted,
tireless wife, the deputy Uft the
telegraph office and hastened to the j.u!.
The Sheriff seeing him coming ruu !■< meet
him but pausej abruptly when he c m'd
see clearly his subordinate's face.
"The operator can't git X ," said the
deputy. " The wile mil.t lie down."
The-Sheriff groaned and trembled us if
shaken by a strong wind. "Go back," he
said, "go back and wait, for if there's word
to come it will get here."
The Sheriff spoke as if he expected a
miracle to be wrought to deliver him from
the awtul legal duty of taking a man's life
to satisfy the vengance of the law, hut yet
he, having once more obtained control of
his nerves, walked firmly back to jail,
where he proceeded at oune to conclude the
preparations for the solemn let.
Meauwhile a crowd uf men was surging
about the jail entrance, and some boys hud
climbed a tree to look over the wall at Hie
scaffold. Th-i deputy iu charge of the door
admitted those who bad o jsiee, and kept
back the others, wbo nevertheless clamored
to be let in. Those who were within the
gates by permission trampled the snow in
the yard and impatiently wished the Shi riff
would "hurry up," while the other prison*
era in their cells were silent and courius
and glad—not glad because one who hud
bsen with tbem iu compulsory association
was to be hanged, but glad because their
crimes were not so heinous as his; and they
all vowed to reform lest they too, should
end on the gallows.
But at X the telegraph operator was
frantic. He hnd called the operator at the
county seat aad could not get a reply—he
was in despair and he thumped the key.
There before him lay a messafe from the
Governor of the State.
••To t.e Sheriff of- County:
"K---i"U n' ten days grante.l to Jonas Tom."
Tue teleurapli was signed by tho Govern
or's Secretary, but apparently it was us
useless us if it had nev«jr lieeu written. Th-county
seat was thirty miles distant, and
there wu« hut an hour to get word of the
respite to the Sheriff before it would be for-ever
tuo late.
A restle-s man stalked up aud down the
long platfoim—be seemed to lie waiting for
a train and impatient liee-nnss it was delay-ed.
He noticed the telegraph operator's
agitation and made inquiry cinceruing the
canse.The operator showed him the message
and the man's face blanched as be demand-ed
tremulously :
"Why don'e you send ii?"
"I can't I say for the wire is not woik-iog."
The man paused a moment irresolutely
and then said : "Give the messege to me,
seal it in an envelope with wax. 1 will
take it to the S i-sr.ff "
"How?"
"Un that engine." He pointed to a lo-comotive
that was standing on a siding
steam up, but was not manned—the
gineer beiug at his home, and the
with
en-
III in in
having made a trip to the round house.
"Give me a awitch key," the stranger
■ dd, nervously," and be ready with the
telegram when I come past the platform."
The operator gave the man the key, but
instantly reached for it again as he ex-claimed
: 'The gravel train -it is op the
road."
"Never mind. I'll scare it on a siding.
You have the message ready."
Quickly the stranger run to the switch
and turned it for the siding. A yard roan
noticed him, bnt ;.t the distance thought
him the station agent, who, at the time,
was away fioui his office, fortunately foi
At the jail the Sheriff's jury were drawn
n,i in the corridor, solemnly waiting for the
conclu-iion of tho last conference of the con-demned
with his spiritual udviser. The
Sheriff restlessly piic.id the Baggluf-while
one of the deputies nei vouily fingered
I black cap and the other toyed with the
cords to be used in pinioning the prisoner.
The Slo--, ill, who hoi r- pe.itedly looked
kt hit watch ID a *ay that ntmed to beg
time to go more Slowly, glMOtd at it at
last with a heavy sic.li nud went to the jail
entraec - In a tiiuil look to.vaid tho tele-graph
office. The dfputy sta'ioned there
wns not in sight and the executive official
turned with a heavy heart to the prisoner's
cell.
"Come," he said, aud the heavy foot-falls
of the jury sounded dismally through
the corridor.
"It is lime," he said gently to the
prisoner, who courageously stepped into
the corridor and bravely fae-id the jury
while the deputies liouml bis arms uud
slipped t'.e cord ol the cap over his head.
He was ready, but just when the word to
move to the yard was (liven, he turned a
longing glance toward the main entrance,
as :f be hoped to see his wife appear thete
suddenly.
Slowly the pi. . ssion moved, the prisoner
leaning on the arm of the clergyman, his
back toward the rrain entranc, his temples
throbbing many beats between the footfalls
] of bis execnliouers, who stepped heavily
and in time with him, as if to deaden to
him the round of his own feet, which
j shutll-d in spite of him, the nniles in the
' heels of his hoots rasping on the stone floor.
And then came shrieking through the
corridor the whistle of a locomotive-—
strident scream on terrain rising higher
each second and indicating that the engiue
wne approaching at terrible speed. The
prisoner stood still and his lips moved as If
in silent thauksgiving, for to bim the shrill
sounds were trumpeting his freedom. The
Sheriff.' rushed to the jail eotrsnee, a com-motion
rose among the visitors who had
grown e-old in the snow, nud they began
to crowd into the jail. The d.-puties mom-entuiily
forgot the prisoner, while they
contended with the impatieDt uud excited
speclutor-, forcing lliein buck to the yard.
The conductor of the gravel train was
startled when the whistle penetrated his
ears with its cry for a clear track, and he
was glsd Inat he bad reached with bis
train the safely of the siding at the lounty
sent when he saw the engine leaping to
ward the town on a steep down grade.
The depnty slatioued at the telegraph
office ran ont on the track to learn the
meaning of the terrible shrieking. The
operator ran with him, anil the crowd
around the jail stamp1 de-d loivard the
station. The whistle ceased its scream,
and a man was seen standing between the
cab and the Under, U the engioe, with
unabated speed forged townnl the station.
The crowd sood still in silence as tin-man
lowered himself on the Step to the
cab.
"Heavi us ! he is going to jump," said
th- deputy, and the crowd tell pell mell
I si k out of the way, hut every ooe heard
the man cry :
"Take this to the Sheriff. '
He wuv.d his hand iu which be clutched
something yellow.
"A n an's life depends on it," he shouted
ngain.
Then he jump- d aud rolled to the feet of
the deputy, who wrenched an envelope
Mom ihe gia-p of his twi'chiug fingers.
Without pausing to see whether the man
was al.ve or dead, the crowd ran after the
1 deputy, and no one looked around when
1 the engine crashed into the dump and wa<
totally wrecked.
The Sheriff in tremhliug, eager haste
opened the envelope and read aloud the
telegram.
The crowd shouted and returned to the
station where a pbysicii.ti with the calm-uess
due to his profession was endeavoring 1
to restore the senseless man to life. At ;
last he succeeded. The stranger openeil
hit eyes and looked in a bewildered
manner at the crowd of curious men and
boys. But presently bis eyes lighted with
intelligence and he atked in a whisper :
"Was I in time?"
"Yes," said the surgeon.
"Thank Ood. 1 killed Joseph Kendall
aud this is my expiation. 1 am Joreph
Kendall's brother."
With great prisence ot mind the phy
sicisn wrote the confession in his note book
and then read it aloud.
"Is that correct'.'" l.e asked.

The following letter has been received by
Mr. Nelson Silknetterfrom William Scbeos-
I l*y, who is traveling with Buffalo Bill's
Company in Kurope.
IfoMr, lin If, March "nd, 1800,
FRIEND Un Km i Ek:
N*O doubt you will be somewhat surprised
when you receive these few lines to find
me enjoying tho good southern climate
of old Italy. When I last wrote to you I
was in Paris, but since then I have traveled
considerably and in fact have been all
through Francs, Spain and Italy and ex-pect
to get over all Kurope before returning
to America, where we will then play nt the
World's Fair, which will be in '03. Ac-cording
to newspapers I bear that Chicago
has been selected, in that case we will of
course play iu Chicago. And in the mean-time
we will play all through the principle
cities of Kurope. Our Company has lieeu
doing great business everywhere, and es-pecially
in Paris, where we made n barrel
of money While traveling through all
thee old ancient cities I find the in all far}
nice enough, but I tell voii iln re is
ouly one city iu the world and that is Paris,
nud when yon leave- that town you are
leaving the heaitof the worle). That is
why all visitors who visit toll country
always leave Paris the last to see, lue.iu-e-when
they come and see Ibe grandeur ol it
they are " completely paralyzed." No
eloubt you can see that I am dead stuck on
Paris, but tbnt aiu't my fault, you would
ho also, if you were in my place.
While there I erommenccd to talk quite a
gooel eleal of French and you can bet I
was seirry when we left the grand -jily, al-though
we played there for seven Booths,
However, when you lire traveliug with a
Cimpany like I am you can't always do us
yon wish.
This trip is worth at least live thonl
ind dollars to Die mil I shall
BtTSI regret coming on this side of the
lKtnd. Although we have had hold times
ol'it as wall us gooel ntie-s, sspe]clally in

tho ellectsof the fever. Our slu wof (our-c
cloud as well as the theatres, end it oom
menceel to look rather blue. Put by
inlluence and good nianagiiuent we were
allowed to reach Naples, Italj, where we
were all ouce more like ourselves, but not
without lo-s, as we buried u few reel
skins in the Spanish soil, and ulao lost a
very valuable man called Frank Richmond,
who was our orator, and who was supposed
to have been the "Ii.ei.ily'' of themall. The
Company sent his remains to New Voik
City, where ho was l-urieel in American
soil.
While in Naples 1 had a good opportunity
of seeing some of the best museums

which is nothing but lire anil smoke. But
of all the times getting there I ever hid

twenty that stnrtcd there were shunt four
or five of us that ri-sehrd the lop, ai.d after
our trouble there wasn't much to see bu>
one mass of smoke and lire, and the sat s
fiction of smelling brimstone—which no
doubt I will smell soon enough. I think
I was about as uear hell at Vesuvius at I
will be for some time. Any way it is an
enjoyment that the most sight-seeisseldom
Dim Therefore I had to go and see it.
But not without being vety much latigueel,
as I walked rather stiff a week ufterwuids.
The heinht is :;»"" feet above the level of
the sea, so you can imagine what it is to
walk to the top. I have also been at the
fumou : ruius of olel Peimpeii, which is a
grand sight, and looks very ancient. The
most of the relics Irom Pompeii lire at Naples,
(only a few miles elistniit) in a museum,
I saw and I must say they looked rather
queer.
After playing in Naples for three weeks
to good business we arrived bets in the
II. ly City of Koine,—n grand city
anil one of the most noted cities in
Kurope for sightseeing. We have already
played here two weeks nnel will still pis*
