London, December 22 A Router's despatch states that America has disbanded 50,000 volun- teers, and proclaims military control over the Philippine*, instituting the relief of unjust burdens and the re- tention of efficient officials. Shanghai, December 21 It has transpired that the Filipino Junta organised the Hong Song fili* blistering expedition. The practice— which of late" has beocme [ prevalent— of giving bob fly remedies or r ordinary oolio drinks, without proper dis- [ crimination the moment a horse is taken , bad cannot be too severely condemned. [ Many a valuable horse has been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simple symptoms So-called remedies, inimical to life under certain coalitions, are ad- ministered, with the resull that the disorder assumes an acute form, the owner becomes i alarmed, but alas !itis of ten too late.

A DEADLY » Ih\ MM* into his month at once at thoelght. Ol thank heaven he had waited! Thar heaven he was near! She had fall< across the line, and a train might con along before she could rise up agai: She seemed hurt too. In a frenzy i suspense he darted forward to save hex It took but a second for him to reali: that she had fallen and was serious] hurt, but m the course of that secon< even as he realized it all, another am more pressing terror seized him. Harkt what was that? He listened an thrilled. Oh, no; too terrible. Yes, ye it must be— the railway, the railwa 1 He knew it. He felt it. Along the n line, on which Netta was lying, he hear behind him— oh, unmistakable, unthinl able, the fierce whirr of the expres dashing madly down upon him. G-res heavens, what could he do? The trai was coming, the train was almost th: moment upon them. Before he coul have time to rush wildly forward an snatch Netta from where she lay, full i its path, a helpless weight, it would hay swept past him resistlessly and born down upon her like lightning. The express was coming— to crua Netta to pieces. In these awful moments men don 1 think, they don't reason, they don' even realize what their action means they simply act and act instinctively Ughtred felt m a second, without evei consciously feeling it, so to speak, tha any attempt to reach Netta now befor* that devouring engine had burst upoi her at full speed would be absolutel 1 hopeless. His one chance lay m stopping th train somehow. How or where or witl what he cared not. His own body woul( do it if nothing else came. Only stop it stop it. He didn't think of it at all tha moment as a set of carriages containing a precious freight of human lives. H< thought of it only as a horrible, cruel devouring creature, rushing headway or at full speed to Netta's destruction. 11 was a senseless wild beast, to be com bated at all hazards. It was a hideous ruthless, relentless thing, to be checked m its mad career m no matter whai fashion. All he knew, indeed, was thai Netta, hia Netta, lay helpless on tht track, and that the engine, like some madman, puffing and snorting with wile glee and savage exultation, was hasten ing forward with fierce strides to crusl and mangle her. At any risk he must stop it— with any thing — anyhow. As he gazed around him, horroi struck, with blank, inquiring stare, and with this one fixed idea possessing hii whole soul, Ughtred's eye happened tc fall upon the dismantled telegraph post on which but one minute before he haci been sitting. The sight inspired him, Ha, ha! a glorious chance. He could lifi it on the line. He could lay it across the rails. He could turn it around intc place. He could upset the train! H< 1 could place it m the way of that mur- derous engine. No sooner thought than done. With * the wild energy of despair the young man lifted the small end of the ponder- ous post bodily up m his arms, and twisting it on the big base as on an eartb fast pivot, managed, by main force and with a violent effort, to lay it at last full m front of the advancing locomo- tive. How he did it he never rightly knew himself, for the weight of the great bulk was simply enormous. But horror and love, and the awful idea that Netta's life was at stake, seemed to sup- ply him at once with unwonted energy, i le lifted it m his arms as he would have lifted, a child, and straining m every limb stretched it at last full across both rails, a formidable obstacle before the approaching engine. 1 Hurrah! hurrah! he had succeeded now. It would throw the train off the line — and Netta would be saved for him. To think and do all this under the spur of the circumstances took Ughtred something less than twenty seconds. In a great crisis men live rapidly. It was quick as thought. And at the end of it ail he saw the big log laid right across the line with infinite satisfaction. Suet a splendid obstacle that — so round and heavy! It must throw the train clean off the metals! It must produce a fine, firet class catastrophe. . As he thought it, half aloud, a sharp curve brought the train around the cor- ner close to where he stood, great dropa of sweat now oozing clammily from every pore with his exertion. He looked at ii languidly, with some vague, dim sense of a duty accomplished, and a great work well done for Netta and human- ity. There would be a real, live acoideni m a moment now — a splendid accident —a first rate catastrophe! Great heavens! An accident! And then, with a sudden burst of in- spiration, the other side of the transac' tion flashed m one electric spark upon Ughtred's brain. Why — this— was mur- der! There were people m that train- innocent human beings, men and women > like himself, who would next minute be wrecked and mangled corpses, or writh- ing forms on the track before him! H< was guilty of crime— an awful crime, He was trying to produce a terrible; ghastly, bloody railway accident! Till that second the idea had nevei even so much as occurred to him. In the first wild flush of horror at Netta's sit nation he had thought of nothing ex oept how best to save her. He hrfc regarded the engine only as a hateful cruel, destructive living being. He hac forgotten the passengers, the stoker, th( officials. He had been conscious only oi Netta and of that awful thing, breath, ing flame and steam, that was rushing qn to destroy her. For another invisibly second of time Ughtred Carnegie's sou' was the theater of a terrible and appall ing struggle. What on earth was he tc do? Which of the two was he to sacri fice? Should it be murder or treachery! Must he wreck the train or let it mangU Netta? The sweat stood upon hisbro-w m great clammy drops at that dread dl lemma. It was an awful question f oi any man to solve. He shrank aghast be fore that deadly decision, j : They were innocent, to be sure, th< i people m that train. They were tin Jtnown men, women and children. The) bad the same right to their lives as Net (To be continued.)
