CA UGH T IN HIS o]\W TOILS- The rr.ging sound that came from the Blackened smithy told that the smith was smitherning steel The smith who swung the ponderous hammer was a man of no common muscle. He was young and remarkably handsome, but there was an evil lurkiug in his cold, black eyes which would have repulsed the close observer. The light of his foige rendered ghostly tke objects in the remote corner of the shop, but it fell brightly upon the slraugn looking piece of steel thet he was ham mering. It resemoled the jaw of some immense trap, strong enough to hold a bear, and the wonder wa s that the strength of man could pro. pare it for its prey. If any man in Middletown could control such a trap it was the man whose uanlls were fashioring it. For a long time David Thrall hah been working of nighs wnh his shop barred to visiters, and the tdang, clang, clang of his ham mer had sounded ilie in the l'urtli erest corner of the growing vil lage. He was ainancf sfrongpassions the first to resent an insult to a friend- and the last to give up an argument when ho found logic against him. No pet son had boihered him while he swung the hammer over the terrible steel trap he was mak ing. It is true a few boys looked in at the inaugerarior of his work> hut his maddening tin eats kept the prying urchins away. “1 told her she would never laugh at my love and live 10 boast of it 1o another mon !” David! Thrall said aloud one night, as he ! paused to wipe great drops of! perspiration fro'n his brow. “She laughed then and told me not to let angtr get 'he best of me, and thought I would forget it. Forget? Never!” cnp the ham * mer then came down vengefu'ly upon the glowing steel. “I am making this trap because you rejected my [ore Agnes Tern pie. But it shall not tear your pteUy skiu. No, no i I would not harm one of your golden hairs out / am going to teach you that there is one in Middleton whose heart cannot be trifled with.” “Thus he talked to himself, while he stood over his anvil and swung his hammer, wnose every blow told on his hoirible median ism and hurried ii toward comple tion. That night ne put the fin isning touches up m it He did Dot come to"a halt uuti l he reached the iron tank that ran rat over the roau which he was traversing. Middletown had not been hon ored with Ibe steam cars, which as if to taunf the place left it a mile to the west. David Thra'l threw down his burden, with a sigh of relief es caped him. Then be struck a match and looked at uis watch. I He passes about 9, be matter ed. “Ttie passenger goes by at ten o’clock, then the lightneniug express.” lie spoke vyith a fiiendishnes B almost foreign to the human heari and sot to work fastening the steong chain attached to his infei nal trap to the iron rails. jje had evidently studied this part of his work for he performed it in darkness and then rested. But the end was not yet. He held it to the light of his coal fire and pronounced it perfect and smiled upon it with pride, showed that he had strerght enough to master its jaws “Now, my boys we’ll try it.” David Thrall put his trap in a sa?k, smothered the fire and left the smithy. He waked rapidly waid the outskirts of the village, seen by no one, for ibe night was dark and the wind high. It was in the antum of the year, and the yellow leaves of the trees fell arouud him in golden showeis but tie did not notice them any more than to brush an occasional one from his long beard, liegrim med like hi* face with the soot of his shop. Throwing himself upon the spring, he set the trap and the terrible jaws were ready to close upon their victims. The wind threw leaves over the trap as if intent on aiding the jealurs blacksmith, and, as the clouds scurried 'westward, he saw he saw the star gleams fall upon the leaves that covered it. It was a pioturesqe p/acs which David Thrall liad seltcted for the deed upon which lie had set his ueart. The road was narrow—-indeed not more thau a path—than let! to Middletown, and she home of Agnes Temple. He knew the man he hated would traverse it before dawn, and he knew too, that iiis trap would hold him to the iron track. It was a revenge almost too ter~ rible to recorded. “There j'* exclaimed the stuiih as he stepped away a pace and triumphtly surveyed the result of his nights toil in the so ty shop. “Now let the prey come ! The trap is ready. 1 wish you a pleas • ant time of it Julian Wingford To iie plain. I should like to know how a man would feel between two such jaws.’’ Then he picked up the sack and started back to Middletown. Hut he ha 1 not gone ten yards before he halted. The trap might have been set a litde easier,” lie said to himself. “It has not been worked irncu and tbe easier it is set the surer I shall be of my prey.’’ Intent upon readjusting the devilish invention, the blacksmith retraced his steps, and for the sec ond in thaf lonely and beautiful spot he be bent over tbe cross-ties. He placed his kneee upon the spring to keep the treacherous frpm closing upon their maker while he tampered with the trig*. 8«r. tie was in the midst of tiis work when from some unaccountable cause his knee slipped from the spring and oh, horror the might jaws closed upon his wris's. With a cry, iridescribeably full, of horror, tne entrapped man tri-> ed to spring to his fee 1 , but the trap fastened as it was to the rails held him securely down. Fhe sharp teeth seemed to cut into she marrow of his bones, and lie was experiencing the horror of a human caugdt in a t rap. He tried to crush the spring, but it would not yield to the pow* er which it had lately owned, aud then he tried to tear himself louse But /he pain occasioned by his effoits was so giea/ that he was forced to desist lest he should faint, and in that condition he caught the train. “If it had caught my leg,” he cried ‘T could tear it loose' but oh? these precious arms of mine!” It was a terrible moment for the entrapped man. All a/ one, in that hour of ter ror he thought of the man whom he had preparer the j iws cf un yielding steel for. He would doubtless reach the crossing before the train was due and release him, for Julian Wingfold was not a vengelul riva All thoughts of revenge aga;ns the beautiful Agnes Temple bnd left his mind, he looked up at the stars, and they seemed to mock his misery , he cried for help from the terror stricken depdts of his heart. But no oots/eps sounded upon his ears. Heaven and men seemed to have left the hater to his fate. Suddenly David Thrall started an l a cry of despair welled fro m his throat. The shrill shriek of the engine /old him that the one dread hour of his captivity had passed away and the end of all was near at hand. “Heaven have mercy!” he cried “Do not unto me as I have done un'on another !’ But no deliverance came, and the sound of tbe whistle died away wit' a mocking echo. Within five minutes the iron monster would be upon him, and tne most terrible drama ever en acted in that lovely country would have reached its tragic finale. He heard the roar of the train, which seemed to approach on the wings OUR OWN SECTION—WK LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. JUNE 23 1885. of the wind. He raved, he cursed, aud tried to wveicli his wrists irom the jaws of steel, and tried to brerk them oft and bear life and Weeding stumps away, but in vain. With the tenacity of death itself tb e trap held him down. The engine shrieded again, and David Thrall paused aud looked over his shoulder. He saw the head-light now; it dazed his eyes, and ho could not shale the precious orbs with his hands. Then he shrieked at tbe top of his voice; but the cars came on. “No deliverance! Oh, Heav en !” he exclaimed, sinking in the few seconds he had yet to live. “I have merited this* What a terrible thiug retribution is! -He will be happy, ind she will smile upon him witn all her dazzling beauty. But I —l—oh, Heavem pity me! Chained to the track— caught in the trap made by my own hands for a fellow-being. It is just. Heaven forgive me, and comfort my poor ’’ • ****» Tue rumbling of the train had scarcely died away in the distance when Julian Wiugfold, returning from the home of Agnes Temple crossed the track. He stepped where the instrn rnent of death had been placed 1 and passed on without niticing its handiwork. If he had bm glanced down he might have seen the two battered steel jaws, losed now upon the lifeless hands only of his rival, the olacks nidi. The remains were discovered on the following day, and tbe pres-> enco of the trap told the awful story. David Thrall’s widowed mother soon followed him to the grave. Tlie little smithy sii'l stands in Middletown, and die superstitious say that at night David Thrall ca i be heard heating steel before his forgo. Julian Wing'old is a happy bus band and father now. but he never thinks of that one night's walk without a feeling of thankfulness as well as of horror.
