Our Short Story. 0 FACED DEfTH FOUR TIMES. mat are the sensations of a person who is I suddenly brought face to face with death while I in the full possession of his faculties? There I are evidences that persons who are suffaring great pain, as from injuries, welcome death be- cause it brings relief with its near approach II and those whom disease has exhausted seem to know no more of their coming dissolution than that they are sinking to rest. "I can imagine that a person who was in full possession of his faculties and suddenly found himself about to meet death would be possessed by an overwhelming fear," said the observant J erseyman when appealed to upon this subpect, "but my own experience does not warrant this conclusion. I do not believe that I am pos- sessed of any more than ordinary nerves and liravery, and I have never done anything to indicate that I am more than an average per- son in these respects; but four times I have been in imminent peril of my life and each time under circumstances which led me to be- lieve that death was but a matter of seconds. "The first great peril of my life occurred in Perth Amboy 41 years xago, when I was less than eight years old; but I remember all about it a3 well as if it were an occurence of recent date. I w.o plying OI1 i,Hniih*i frame building with a boy of my own age, named Lecompt. We were climbing about the frame on the second floor when I lost my foot- ing and fell through the floor beams. I went down through the floor beams of the first storey A and struck, head foremost, on a pile of bricks in the cellar. In the second or two of my fall, I was fully conscious of my petil, but I recall no feeling of terror, only a vague -hope that I should not be hurt. I was unconscious when I was picked up, and when I came to I remembered my last sensations and felt of my aima and legs to see if they were broken, anu was content when I found that they were whole and I had received no worse harm than a sore scalp. I "The next occasion of deadly peril was in 1863, when I was tramping through the Acii- rondak region with Stephen S. Van Schaick of New York. I never knew just where the scene of this adventure lay until recently, when in looking over a new mall" of that country, I I traced our route from Troy to Fort Edward, then to Fort William Henry, and up Lake George to Ticonderoga and Crown Point, into the Adirondaeks to Elizabethtown. to the foot of Mount Marcy, an.] then the tramp back to Troy, 125 miles, over the old plank road that I led past Schroon Lake. There, on the map, I found the Wash B:isins, and recognised it as the place of my deadly peril. "We had caught a ride with a farmer, and having been with him for a mile or two and told I hill). that Wt were sightseeing, he ot jpued his wagon, and, pointing to a path that led into the I piney woods to the right, said: ) 'If you want to see a sight take that path.' "We thanked him, and without asking any questions plunged into the woods. I was in the lead. A quarter of mile from the road I Suddenly emerged from ifle woods, and before I I had time to look about me I found myself sliding along the faco of a rock which sloped gently away from the woods. The rock was covered with a coating of pine needles, which were aa/ smooth as glass. Anyone who has tried climb- ing over earth path* under the pine trees knows how the feet will slide on the dead pine needles. I slid along surely hut. not rapidly, and I could not stop my progress.. As I slid I braced my feet and looked ahead. Not more than ten or fifteen feet ahead T saw that the rock ended in mid air. and that. before me lay a. deep valley. To make any move to stop myself seemed to be merely to make disaster mere imminent, and I did nothing but brsce my feet more firmly, aa if I were being driven forward on slick ice by a strong wind. As I drew near the edge of the rock I confidently expected that I would con- tinue my course right over it and be dashed to death, and yet T had no thought of terror. At the very brink the surface of the rock turned upward a little, and this arrested my progress when my very tcos vrete even with the edge. As I came to a standstill the scene before me was so striking that all thought of my danger lett me. "I was on the edge of a table rock which I I tbjuk must have been 300ft. above the bottom of the valley, and it was a sheer drop from there below. From the left came a stream of water, and this plunged in a fall, perhaps a hundred feet high, into a basin of rock which was as round and perfect as a washbowl. From the edge of this basin the water poured over in another fall into a second basin of the same Sort, and from there the water ran in a white, broken stream in rapids which extended in the bottom of the vallev to beyond where I stood. An old water mill stood beside the second basin. and hills shut in the valley just a few hundred I yards beyond. Had I fallen over the edge of the table rock I would have dropped into the rocky rapids. "My third peril was at the hands of a pock-, marked lieutenant of the Pinkerton Force, who was guarding the railroad yards at the Port Johnstone Coal Docks at Bayonne during the great coal handlers' strike in 1887. For some reason he had taken a great dislike to me, and when I sought to enter the yard to see his captain he stopped me. I want, to see Ihe captain,' I said. 'He is not here,' he said. 'He is,' I answered. 'I see him there,' pointing to the man I wanted a hundred yards down the track. "'Get out of hpre" he exclaimed, and dropped his hand to the hilt of his revolver. "I stepped back two feet to the line between the tracks which marked the edge of the yard, and stood facing him. IJ is hand worked on the hilt of tbu pistol, and everv moment I g. pected him to draw and fire. A boy had been wantonly shot only a few days before by a Pinkerton man at Weehawken, and other acts of violence had been committed bv-these men. We faced each other for perhaps five minutes, during which time I expected every moment to be my last, but I had no feeling except one of curiosity to see what he could d4re to do. Finally he turned and walked away, and I also left. Two years later I met one of his men to whom I had done some slight favour. 'That Lieutenant meant to kill you that day,' he said. 'Yes, I knew it,' I replied. 'So did I,' he said, 'and when he dropped his hand to his pistol pocket I lowered my Winchester rifle into position, and if he had drawn his pistol J meant to send a Winchester rifle bullet bhroogh him.' "My last deadly peril was from typhoid fever but, unlike ma:iy such oases, I had been sen- sibly ill only a. few days wten the crisis came, and I had hardly lost any of my physical vigour. One day the doctor came, and, taking my wrist, stood beside my bed for many minutes feeling my pulse. I had been in bed but three days, but I knew that I was despe- rately ill. With the coctor's finger on my pulse I could feel its beatings, and I wondered why the doctor stood there so long holding my wrist. Then I becaoi? aware that the pulse was gradually failing, and that probably death was near. I became as much interested in following the evidence of my heart's working as the doctor could have been, and the only thought which I re-call was one of much the same sort of curiosity as filled my mind when I was waiting for the drawing of the Pinkerton man's revolver. Slowly my pulse faded away, I beating at longer intervals and with less 1 strength at each pulsation, and, although my t nund seemed as clear as ever, I thought of j notliing but this, and otherwise felt as if I were simply sinking into a delicious sleep. By and bye the pulse ceased entirely. Still the doctor held my hand, and his thoughts and mine were concentrated upon the question of whether it would return. i "I had no sense of care as to whether it returned or not. By and bye it did return; first one pulsation, then another at a long inter- val, and then another and another, each at a shorter interval and each stronger than the last. Perhaps it was half an hour afterwards, I do not know, when the doctor laid my hand down] and started to go away. While my pulse re- turned I seemed to wake gradually from my lethargy, and when the doctor started away I was as full of life as ever I was. 'What am I to do for myself ?' I asked him. ) 'Notlilng,' lie replied. Afterward hetuld me that persons of inv temperament seldom re- covered from typhoid, and that he had expected me to die as lie held my hand. The- moment the pulse returned he knew I was safe, and he did not return to treat me. "I have been nearly drowned, run over, and run away with by horses, and had some other narrow escapes, but these were the only oeca- sion& when I faced death when I had time to think about my peril, and the recollection of my feelings at these times does not bring to ute auything of horror." "1

Quips and Cranks. "Do you think," said the lady who was shopping, "that anybody would steal this jmbrella if I were to leave it for a few minutes?" "Really, madam," replied the clerk, "I shouldn't like to venture an opinion without first examining the umbrella." "Georgy cried himself to sleep last night." "What was the matter' "He ate dinner with Bobby Tompkins, and when he oame home he found that we had strawberries, while they had only stewed rhurbarb." "You," said the man, "are not so hot." The cucunlber, thus rudely addressed, man- 1 .red to remain cool, and replied: "And you are not so many as you might be." Then to sustain his premise, it doubled the man up. Four-year-old Barbara went to church with icr two sisters ami came home crying. "What is the matter, dear' inquired the mother. "He preached a whole s-eerm on—about—M- Mary and Martha," sobbed Barbara, "and -never taid-a w-vvord about me." "When you see two men constantly together," observed the ready-made philosopher, "it is safe to assume that they like each other." Taking his cue from the philosopher's tone the accomplished listener inquired "And how about two women?" "In that case," responded the philosopher, with an appreciative smile, "you may know that they're afraid of eatb other." '"Well," said the Greek general glumly, "we 1 have learned a lesson." "Yes," was the reply. "The thing I'm afraid of is that it's going to be a long time before we get another chance to recite." "'Now," said the man who was making arrangements to insure his houee and its --on- tents, "before I go any farther in Ihis matter I wanot to know one thing. Is there any way in which the tax assessors can have aocess to your books?" "None, whatever," the agent replied.
