In Japan the trains always move faster when they' start than when they uri under full headway. To the religions dismay of the crowd of Japs on t lie platform" M Freer made a dash fnri right across the intervening truck, and landed on the platform of the departing train with a graceful hound. In a moment panic and i.Tiideiiinmuiit were rampart among the crowd of oili rials and onlookers, and same sn . tin Imperial Guard of Japan as well ;i ;i regiment 'of sharpshooters were called out. At all events the CMitciucut pin ihiccd by Mercer's daring feat was as as if the Chinese had thrown u company of tirailrurs into the llank of I fie spectators. Mercer saw that there was violent signaling with a red flag from the engine rah, and answering signals with red flags hy the switchman ahead. Ami then the train slow ly cauie to a atop.

It looked blue for Mercer. His friends fcay helotd them in English that he was a member of the Congress of the United Stales and his person was sacred, lie denies this. I.ut fortunate! v at this critical juncture an American elbowed hie war through, and called out to him: Stranger, you're all right.
