He woulil nut have known of the cntii on bin face ami ui'ck bnt (or tho hlooil which was rnnning ibiwii from them, Imt the pain in biis Hwulleu hnmls aoJ ou his blinteriug face was exoru- ciatiuR. HiH faithful Brcman'B cloth- ioK had caught fire from the Hames, and tbe mau was ducking himself iu ' tho water-tank. Then, seeing the ter¬ rible distress of hia chief, be threw bucketfttls of water all over bim, which gave Eoot some relief for a while.
Twice or three times the engineer ¦was overcupie by the torture, and fell exbansted from his saat; bnt tba flr«- mnu picked bim np, lifted bim to bia seat, and threw water on him. Again the balf-cookcd hands tbat held tbe lives of three hnndred people iu tbeir grasp closed over tbe lever.
It was nut tbe work of many minutes to send tbe train back to tbo pond, but tbey were icost terrible minutes for the people in the coaeheB behind the engine. Three of tho ra.'iscngers went crazy in that little time, and jumped to their death through panes of glans; it was only by tbo greatest efforts on Ihepartof tbe cooler-heniled passengerH that others wero kept frum HUicide.
Tbe exposed woodwork of tbo en¬ gine caught fire, tho cab lamp melted down, tbe sides uf the coaches were charred ami burning, and vet ou the train spei', the roar of the lire unceas¬ ing, the ciiaclies rosunnding with shrieks and screams.
Had tho conrage aud the nerve ol the engineer deserted bim, bud tho train Htopped, in li few cruel seconds the three hundred people must hnvo burned to death; but beheld his post, uutil at Inst tho swaiupy place was sighted. Ho slowed thi train down, tho frenzied people plunged raadlj into the foul water, and the engineer foil exhan.sted to the llimr of   hi.'   call.
Tbe crew of tin- train run to Kuut's aid, but he tulil them he would Kavs bimnelfj they must nave tbo people. And just at the last moment bo man. aged to crawl down to the water. Now the oars had taken Ure, and were rapidly consumed. Two Cbummcu iu one of them would not leave, aud wero ¦luiokly burned tu death.
Possibly five hundred people, and pnrbaps even more, lost tbeir lives in tbe town ond in the vicinity, althougb tbo exact uuialicr of those who jierinbed will probably never be kuuwn.
As I Kat in James iiool'.'i little bed¬ room aud heard hiui tell modestly of his part in the saving of these hun¬ dreds of people, Jo you wonder that I was deeply moved at this unassuming witness tu the tiuth that tbo golden aso of heroiKiu has not yet piissod away?—\V.

N my honor, I don't see what they are making all tbis fuss abont; I only did what wiis my duty."
¦lames Root was patched and b a n d ».g e d until be looked a good deal like a mummy tied up in white when he said this to mo. It was on a September day in 1H!)4, in a humble little homo in White Hoar, Minnesota, not far from Hi. Paul, Boot had jnst ]>asseil through one of the most terrible experiences in the history of railroading ia any land, aiid hotjwaa the hero of tbe occasion; yet ba waa ao simple-minded and un¬ affected that he wondered why the people ware talking about him.
Then hs told me, amid winces of pain, aomethiof; of tbe danger he bad paaaed throngb.
He was tbo engineer on tbe after¬ noon train wbicb left Dulutb on tlie flrat day of September. From Dulutb soatbward tbe railroad pusses tbrongh a denuded forest region, once oorered with a heavy growth of piuo. All tbe merchantable pine bad beeu out away, leaving muob uudergrowth and many small trees.
As tbe wbole Northwestern region bad been without rain since April, tbe woods were like tiudor. Some oue had aet firs in tljem, und for miles ont of Daluth the! trai^i ran through dense smoke. I quite well remember riding through the same region tbe year be¬ fore, when the woods were ou fire. The air in tbo cor was atiSiug with tbe pnngant pine smoke; tbe burning trees here and there along tho track were atanding like slender pillows of ilre, tbeir trnnks oraokliug in tbo flames, while tbe heat was eo iutenso tbat the coaches became almost uuiu- babitable,
Bnt this was as nothing beside tbo flre through wliiob tbis engineer drove bis traiu on that smoky Heptember day. When bo was abont seventy miles from Dniatb tbo air became so thick with smoke be could hardly see his way ahead. Tbe lamps in tbo oab, aud in tho passengor coaches aa well, wero lighted, although it was still early in the afteruoon.
James Uoot bad passed through the same oouutry mauy times before in very similar cireuiustancus, and bo saw no unprecedented danger until he neared   the   littlo   town of   Hinckley.
Tbere tbe boat became so intense— muob as if it wore being driven from the throat of sumo vost furnace—that bis apprehensiou was arunsod, Htill tbere was uo unusual sigiv, of tire iu tbf immediate vicinity, aud he knew these vast smoko-clouds might be carried scores of miles from tbo actual scene of tbo Qre.
But as bis cugine was slowing up near the little town, several men camo running as if fur their lives out of the wall of smoke, Tbey cried that thu town was on fire, and bogged him to take tbem on board. Ahead uf htm the engineer could now scu the red flames.
His flrst impulse was to open up the throttle and sendhis train through tho town at lightuing speed; but iu an¬ other instant be saw that this would be fatal rashness, fur as tbe smoke cleared away for a raomeut, ho fpereeived that tbe bridge which wa.s at hand was crowded with people running for their lives—a wild, shrieking throng cum- ing toward him out uf tbe dames with all possible speed.
Men, womeu and cbiUkef\were tu tba crowd—at least twu hundred of tham—and ««. tbey reachod tbo traiu, they swarmed up into the coaches and begged to be carried to a place nf safety. There wereabont ono hundred and fifty pasaeugers in tho cuuches, and tbey wero uoij jammed tu sufToca tiun by the frenzied refugeen.
The engineer was placed in a lun.t perilous position jnat at this lu.'^tuut. for a dreadful thiug happened, one which was mauy times duplicated in this terrible fire; Iho very air nbuvo bis cab seemed t<i ovplude, as if by spoutaneouH oombnslion, and his train was well-nigh onvi'luped in tbe tUmes.
A friend who was caught iu tbis fire, and who walked uloug the railroad track for miles thmugh the burning woods, told me that he saw mauy such vast exploaious iu the air iu the midst of tbe awful heat.
Tbe heavy glas.H in the sidn uf the cab bent iu witli the great heat, nud tbeu bnrst iu pieces, some uf nliicli cut gashes duwu Ibe face mil in.ck ul tbe euciucor. Ue i^aw tbat ho o.iil.l uot advance; he did nut   dure   tu witil

Tho socialistic community that stalled a co-operativo society near Hastings, British Columbia, thrco years ago, is a "busted" community. Bellamy's dream, "Loukinj,- Back¬ ward," was the ideal aimed nt by tho littlo band of welliueauing vision- arieH, who, to tho uumber uf 20U, loft comfortable homes iu Vaucoiivor to wander after strange gods iu the trackless wilderness of British Col¬ umbia. ¦"¦,4
Oue hundred thousand dollars, or $G00 eacb, was tho amount of cash provided to found the city of Bell¬ amy, as it was called, and thnso wbo did uot provide money Were allowed to pay into the common treasury un oqnivalent in timn-checks in exchange for luhor ou public buildings. Whcu tbo social departure was fairly inang- urittod a Board uf Commissioners wus appointed to settle, disputes aud to teach the doctrines of Bellamy, Tho colony soon uanibered ODO mon, women and children. Sawmills, farms aud trade ahups wore started. At tirst all the men received tho same wages. Brains or skill did uut count for a ceut, S.iou those who shirked work lived at thccxpeuseuf the active toilers nnd tho culuny was cumpellod to Htart a scnlo ot wages.
Soon after the colony wos founded tbe brainy men ceased to thiuk—tbo necessity did uot exist. There was uu spur tu ambition, no competition. Then it was disouvored that tho work done in tbe shups and mills was so in¬ ferior that it was not marketable out¬ side. Mauy shareholders iu tho com¬ munity asked for their money back, but they did uot got it. Some de¬ serted. Tho common eating bouses and herding uf families iu big dwell¬ ings led la hiekoriugs and jealousies among Ihe women folk. Tho men took up the quarrels uf tho weaker sex and every man's baud was raised against bis neighbor.
Tho Cummissiiiuers, who held the cash aud arbitrated, were over¬ whelmed with iipplicatious for thu ad ministration of justice, munelary uud social. The Commissioners were not equal to the occasion and resii;ned in a body. No nieiiiliersuf the commun¬ ity nuulil ta'ikO their place, uud there was uu hiw, no justice. Members earned luuuey uutsiilo tl." cummnuity aud ou llieir return the members still faithful tu the teiiots ot Itollaniy de¬ manded that a division be made uf the spoils earned outside.
Then the shrewdest and tlttest started up the sawmill and farms agaiu and employed their weaker brethren for wivges in detiauce of so¬ cialistic principles. The coinlnunity was drifting buck into uld channels. The ambitious got tho reins of power iu their hands aud all went well for a little while. Then creditors arrived andtbiTc was no uiouoy to pay them. The books uf the ctimmunity shuwed a debt uf SlOn.liliil. It was a "busted C'lmuiiiiiity."
