My sensations are not only lndescrlb-

painful to the listener. I had not been

I was and Jtaken this means of putting
me out of the way. There was noth-
ing beneath me but a cement floor,
nothing about but four , stone walla.
Therefore I looked up to see what
there mlgnt be for a celling. Far
above I'saw what appeared tp be a
rectangle of light. I gazed at It a long
while, trying!jto 4determine what It
liras, but my mlnd-waci not IB a state
to deliberate on anything, and I made
00 -headway.
After awhile I fell'lnto a sort of stu-
por, owing doubtless to my terrible
mental condition. During this time,
1 presume, I gained some rest fcom
my sufferings, for my consciousness
was restored. Since there was noth-
ing to see except abbve, I oast my eyes

Again I felL to thinking as to what
It might be, and this time. In order to
occupy,my mind and thus relieve the
mental strain, I gave way to all sorts
of speculation. The cathedral clock
■truck, and I counted nine strokes. I
bad been shut up ever since 4 iti the
afternoon. I waB thunderstruck, hav-
ing supposed that I had not been there
an hour. • .
Presently 1 saw something dangling
from above. - After watchlPg It for
some time I was able to make out that
it was a rope. Then I discovered that
It waB coming toward me. Lower and
lower, nearer and nearer,""ft "¿ame till
.at last I was able toTgfasp it. Then I
remembered that I had my box ofAvax
tapers for lighting cigars In my pocket,
and, striking one of thém, I tossed It
upwárd. For an instant I could make
óut'the celling, it was of Iron, and in
its center was an Iron jstogf-ftrom which
tho rope was swung. Lighting several
tapers in succession, I held them aboye
my head and at last could see the cell-
ing as long as a taper would burn.
Horror of horrors! It was coming
down to crush me!
Again, from sheer agony I became
[conscious. T was revived by the
k above striking 12. Every! stroke
to toll my knell. The celling
was now so low that I could touch it
with my hand. In half an hour all
would be over.
Then I beard, far above, a; sound as
of the rubbing of 'meta I against metal,
-f listened and could distinguish the
nolae of cogwheels running together,
and oh, blessed sight! The celllug
#aa rising! ■ '
Then it occurred to me that I waa
in the clock tower under the weight,
which waa now being wound. I would
not be crashed: I would atarve. There
waa one chance for me. Seising the
rope, I tied it under my arma Aa
■oon aa the alack was taken up ^ba-
gan to rise—ten, twenty, fifty, a hun-
dred feet , There was more- light. I
looked above. Between m« and the
weight were arched window Might
I not get through one of. them on to a
tool? I got up a swinging motion and
When I reached the window clung to
the caaement and unloosened the ropa.
Breaking the glass, I looked out The.
roof was twenty feet below. I jumped
and landed safely oh my feet. 1
In the eaát waa a streak of dáwn,
but I did not atop to take note of It
going here and there till I fonnd a
door by which to descend. I found

dral. All, the Irreverence of the previ
oua day waa gone. I fell on my kneeá
before, the altar. Then, exhausted, I
staggered to one of the cushioned pews
and fell asleep. *
I waa awakened by thé sexton, whom
I told that I bad been locked In by \
mistake. He opened the door for me,
and I went out knowing that if my
enemlea knew I had escaped them they
would certainly kill me. I beyer atop-
ped till I had reached Australia, where
I lived for a time, then shifted to Alas-
ka.. I am now living In one of the
large cities of the ¡Ünlted States under

Cartel Worjta'of the YhIImi.
The' Yexidees, a peculiar Turkish
■ect, are perhaps the only people in the'
world which consider certain letters,
words and phrases as being cursed and
the person who próúounces them a
worthy subject for Immediate destruc-
tion. They attach no value to human
life, and to these ordinary dangers arjy
added those arising from the embar-
rassing etiquette of conversational in-
tercourse with them, for If any one in-
advertently speaks the word "devil,"
"Satan" or anything with the same
meaning he commits a mortal offense,
and to cut off his head is a God pleas-
ing act, a sacred duty of the Jezidee,
the fulfillment of which will insure
him a place In paradise.
In a like manner several létters are
wholly banished, from their language,
chiefly those .whiáh contain the sound
of "shun." The Arabian word nallet,
"Thou art damned," Is also expunged
because It is believed by the Yezldeea
to have been the .word uttered by Qod
when the fallen angeÍB were thrown
Into bell. These and similar words and
phrases are set aside and combinations
which do not belong to any language
used instead.
Senatorial Repartee.
Once during a heated, debate between
Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio'and
Senator Joseph W. Bailey 0if Texas the
question of law In Texas and law in
Ohio came up. The passage became
warm, Foraker, by way of a pitting
shot, told Bailey that If be would come
to Ohio he would learú' a great deal of
law that he did not know. r-y¿.
"If there is so very much law to be
learned In Ohio," remarked Bailey, "I
must lad vise the senator to spend all his
spare!time there. He needs it"
