C. - Will Build Next Spring. Construction work on the southeast Kootenay railway running over a distance of 50 miles from McGillivray to the! international boundary will commence next spring, according to an announcement of Thomas Davis, the president, who is at present in Victoria. The road will open up one of the richest coal mining areas in the province. Mr. Davis, who has just returned from a trip through the Flathead district, states that considerable development work is in progress at the different coal properties there. From the Calder Creek measures to the boundary, a distance of eight miles, a wagon road has been built for the bringing in of supplies and construction material. Twelve coal mining properties in all are carrying on development work, the principal of these, that known as camp Davis, being controlled by the Southeast Kootenay railway company. Mr. Davis states that in addition to the coal areas the new railroad will open up rich agricultural territory lying in the Flathead valley.

New York, Sept. 17.—James McDowell, prospector and miner, who killed his wife to end her sufferings in the wilds of the Canadian northwest, is at the home of friends at 2774 Bainbridge avenue today. He is a nervous and physical wreck. McDowell complied with the plea of his mortally injured wife to end her agony. He was examined by a jury. "My wife was Fanny Crawford, a native of the province of Alberta," he said. "I had a rich claim near Castle mountain, in the British Columbia extension of the Cascade range and soon after we decided to visit it. The mule on which my wife was riding was stung by a hornet, kicked and plunged over a precipice, carrying my wife with him. My wife was crushed to a shapeless mass and begged me to end her agony. I then shot her." Late Archbishop of York is Dead. London, Sept. 19.—The most Rev. Wm. Dalyrymple McLag- an, late Archbishop of York, died today. He was born in Edinburgh in 1826.

When a false rumor of Mark Twain's death was cabled from Europe some ten years ago, and anxious inquiries as to its truth were flashed across, the great humorist cabled in reply that the news of his death was "greatly exaggerated." Admirers of the writings of Wall Mason will be glad to know that in like manner the news of bis death, which came with such a shock a few days ago. was unfounded. The news dispatch which was printed all over the continent announcing the death of John Scanlan, a cartoonist, in Philadelphia stated that he wrote under the pen name 'Wall Mason,' It now appears that on soveral occasions he had written to his sister, several postal cards signed 'Walt Mason,' the name of a well known writer of verse. She thought 'Walt Mason's' productions were her brother's, and this fact led the police to believe for a time that Scanlan was the well known writer. Walt Mason is in Emporia. Kan. His admirers whose name are legion, will expect something from his pen about this false story of his having crossed the great divide. Welsh Miners May Strike.

Maahattan uiglits are quite n> magical. Thi■> morning yuu muy pnss by a street corner surrounded by a board fence from the interior of which comes the staccato thump of rock drills. An Other day and tbe fence is down, Bpladling irou columns are pointing skyward out ot' t lie pit. Two weeks pass and you are Looking upward ut .some daredevil of uu iron- wurker who is riding an iron beam several stories up above lhe streets, In three months more you are elevated into a steam heated, tdeetric lighted twelfth btory office suite nud look dowu from where you formerly looked up at the sky and wondered. Imagine a massive granite and - brick, lire proofed sky; scraper covering two thirds of a block, building upward al the rate of a .story a week! A story a week means a completed story, complete even as to inside furnishings and ready for immediate occupancy. It sounds Impossible. Strangers won't believe it till thev see the building grow before their eyes. But this rate of con struction is an actuality today; ainl there is uo telling just what greater speed the tenitic demand of this minute expanding, distance-shrinking, step-lively uge wiii bring forth. The sky semper i> altogether an .\ui ericun institution. Its express speed of construction is ulso exclusively Aineri cau, an expression of American enterprise, American inventiveness, American impatience and da rede \ iltry, American workmen, Some few years ago a ship load of Pennsylvania steel and American, workers landed at (.'ape Town and eommene- ed ut Johannesburg the erection of the first modem steel fpame structure in South Africa. The work started ut the beginning of the hot season, and when, after six mouths, the residents of the city returned from their mountain resorts they found a completed building awaiting them, and at lirst refused to believe their eves. A smaller building, just previously erected, took two uud a half years. "Who did this?" roared an irate Britisher ot local consequence, ile was accustomed to London methods, where they take fully six months to erect simply the outrlgguig platforms for tho placid, protracted mun handling of the heaviest materials. "Some devil of a Yankee. I "II warrant you,"' he fumed. " It won 't stand up. But the structure is .still standing, will stand till it i- (Milled down; uud! now in Johannesburg they prefer Ameri I cun buildings put up iu the American way. In Xew Vork we grow used to marvels, eome to regard them as commonplace aliter a few days' wonderment. And yet bere the Johannesburg reeord hus been more than cut in twu. So many buildings ai" going up su fast thut daily the city changes like the background of u ponderous panorama. One must go about constantly iu order not to be amazed ut new landmarks. The story uf the express-built sky seruper begins away buck in the steel- rolling mills of Pittsburg und Bethlehem, where they ulso race against time and short-cut processes and with a gigantic remorseless rush turn out a product whether men get in the way or not. Mere tlie entire steel frame of the sky-scraper is built iu multitudinous sections—-that i-. to .say, columns, beams, benders, girder.—euch with connecting Hanoi's all punched and ready to be lit ted and rivet ted together. The columns weigh as much us fifteen tons each. A complete story could be told of the works ut Pittsburg: of how the big machines start rolling, rivet ting, cutting, punching—the processes ure many and mighty—almost the moment the blue prints arrive: of how even while the work is ia progress some master minds are plotting ways and means to hasten it, to get the black metal timbers craned more swiftly out of the roaring shops and speeding on to New Vork in hundreds of uoavy tint curs. One might think thut the greater part of the structural erection wus done iu tlio steel-mills; that it ought to be a .simple matter to join the purts together uml so erect the framework of the building. Hue might think so—but don't mention this thought to tbe iron foreman—to thut taciturn, tense-featured man, the lines in whose leau face grow deeper as each story is added. lie is working his men under tremendous pressure. .\n ordinarily sluw iron job witb ils rattling dynamic progress is enough of u burden. But to rush one, to crowd ponderous steel into fleeting hours, is another mutter. Ills employers give him so much time, und keep pounding him; und along with this pressure they give him constant but contrariwise orders, to wit: Don't kill uny men. It, i ta in .complish with redone und todnv it difficult suit*-, lint it ct is done. The Framework of one big store in New Vork, containing 22,000,000 pounds of Steel, wus erected iu onlv four hundred hours. Not an ironworker wus kill ed or seriously injured. The Met ropoli tan tower, rising lifty stories ubOve the streets, was topped with the sume for tunate result: so was the lofty "Singer horn." Some buildings and bridges in the past have pro\'eu veritable morgues —they show the constant hazard of the ironworker's life but buildings ure not erected that way today, even with greatly advanced speed. It is ;i wonderful giant's game of jack straws—this rearing of the . d ■structure. Firsl a platoon of mo er derricks is set up in the pit. The masts are so met ime*- ninety feet iu height, with beams neatly us long, and are Shipped all tlie way across the rout in ent from the big pine forests of Oregon. Three Mat-ears, end to end, are required for the length of the poles, and, arrived at their destination in Xew Vork, they are trucked through tlie streets to the building site nt midnight when other traffic ia nil save suspended. Now the steel i*- arriving, drawn from the river lighters in great double team ed. extension trucks, and is unloaded all around the edge of the rectangular pit. Each length is marked to go in a certain pluce. The drivers for the most part, are ox-ironworkers and know bow to handle steel as well ns horses, Thc derricks nre electrically run und move silently, swiftly, steadily. The spasmodic jerking of the putting steam upright engine is absent. The big booms swing, dip. ruNe their muny ton loads with nil the precision nnd delicacy of human hands, .lust think of swinging a heavy girder into a llunge union with u play on either Bide of little more than Q quarter of an inch. With each derrick there'fl a crew of seven men. comprising i "pusher" or squad boss, u derrick-man, And five over-head ironworkers. Over all the squads is the iron foreman, darting here aud there, looking up and down, seeing the whole process and everv part of it. The mighty work goes on continuously by day and night. Une shift—on a big job it numbers fifty men—relieves another. There must be no .stopping; minutes count. At night yellow and white incandescent lights sputter over u ceaseless din aud travail. Now aud theu an umbulunce rings its wuy iuto the congested side-street. Kor there are accidents. They eaanot be altogether avoided. Prom the edge of the pit you see an iron beam roil lazily out of a pile. Its motion is slight and noiseless, seemingly inconsequential, but it hit a man's leg and stripped it to the bone. Two beams meet, slowly, with velvet-like contact; but a man's fingers intervened, and they were Dipped off. Aud metal will break. There's the foreman, now, bending white faced over the broken link of a derrick chain, lt is an inch thick and outside it looks polished, hard, sure; but within there was a bubble iu the steel, leaving only a thin circumference of metal to hold it together. Luckily, when it snapped, us .snap it must, there were no men riding the loud of beams; but there might have been. There are accidents; but the work is too ponderous to make them noticeable, its purpose too serious to have them interfere or subtract u minute of progr No one takes heed of them, not even tin' waiting line of idle iron workers, anxious for a job and the chances of it. Only the best und steadiest men are employed, experienced workers, who are not only careful of themselves, but also of their team-mates; and it is remark able how the charueter of the ironwork er hus changed to meet the exactions of these days of rapid construction. In the past they were a boisterous. swashbuckling lot. They " floated" from New Orleuns to Vancouver, lived in freight-curs, built bridges and dropped oil' of them with a grin and a choking ''flood-by. " A hero among them was a man who bud the longest full to his credit, or who could toss a whit hot rivet the greatest distance. They lived bard and died easily. Today they know thut a man stands highest on the pay-roll who takes his work and its danger most seriously, who ulso wutches the man next to htm—for in this calling one man's error often means another's life. K\eu so the bridgeworker of today hus not lost his romantic side. He is still tin1 cavalier of the workaday world. See bim now. clinging like a tlv to tbe top ring of thut lofty derrick, or swaying iu midair with one leg wound carelessly about a dangling cable, or standing upright alongside a dizzy column, hundreds of feet above the ground, with nothing more substantial under his (dinging tue thun an inch-wide bolt! The plumber laying pipes in the dark basement gets just as high u wage and his work is quite us important. But the ironworker gets tbe eyes of the crowd and knows it. "Cowboys of the skies" they bave been styled, and aptly so. They have muny characteristics in common with their brethren of the plains. They love u dare and a scampering race. Often tbey make and huve them—when the boss is uot watching. Just recently two sky-scrapers in New Vork raced up side by side—a veritable Marathon of the skies!—aud prodigies of during and foolhurdiness were done by the rival gangs facing each other across the intervening side-street. Tiny stole each other's huts and wrenches • as they sailed up atop the loads of iron, danced giddy hornpipes on the ends of project* I iug beams, tried to "best" each other1 taking chances, amid tlie pandemonium of whip-snapping cables and swinging iron. They affect extravagance.*- ami peculiarities of dress. That athletic-looking fellow with the grimy face and hands irs on idle Sundays in white flan- and silk hose. The mun beside him is a favorite at bridgemen's dances nud has been known to wear and grace :i frock-coat. They make no serious compliant over the new order of tilings -the rush of the work. "Sure," said one. "it's all right, only it's over nowadays before you get your second wind." Said another: "This going up at a story a day interferes with me social life.'On that Thirteenth Street building there was a hotel within arm's reach, I one dny I got to talking with u pretty mnid—through a window. Next •lay I had to tulk down to her, and next day I bad to yell to her, and iu two days more I had to say goodby. " 'Good-by!' says she, 'Sorry to seo you go; but I'll introduce you to my friend Katie who works on the tenth floor.' " Every time two stories of steel are completed the derricks must be raised. This bas been slow, cumbersome work in the past. Only u year ugo it meant a day's work. Now they do it in from thirty minutes lo two hours. In the old wuy they rigged u st ill'legged derrick above, which grappled down und lifted up the boom derrick. In other words, thev raised u derrick with B derrick. Now they make the derrick raise itself. To a layman this sounds like raising one's self by tlie boots. But it can be done, even with un eight-ton, ninety foot derrick, A young iron foreman solved the problem one day when his company gave him just twelve days to put up the frame of a twelve story building, "It's easy enough," said he. "Vou just fold up the derrick and lash boom and mast toget her. Then detach t he main - t';iII * or hoisting cable from the boom uud give it a clutch around the mast nbout one third of the length from the top. "Now sturt* your winding drums dowu there in the basement, and what's going t<> happen? Why. the cable pulls the whole derrick up and holds it till we make new moorings." They wnit for nothing and obey no precedents in ihe building of the express sky-scraper. While the steel frame is hastening skywards the walls, Hours, tiling, tire -proofing, wiring—all are racing after it. The very moment ■a support is mude that renders possible the commencement of another brunch of the wot!;, the latter activity begins. On a granite and brick building the bricklayers start work—on tbe fifth story, suy—beforo tbe granite bus reached them. By the time the latter is laid and meets the brick they ure several stories in advance. Thut means several stories saved in time. Tbey work shoulder to shoulder—not nn inch of room is wasted—on a long, mechanically elevated platform that seems to climb upwnrd before vour very eyes. Already the plastering hns begun—■ while there still remains a gap in the under walls between granite and brick. Another precedent broken! Said a nervous young superintendent one morning, "We begin plastering today." "What!" expostulated the foreman, He interposed objections, slowly, ob- ipp< stinately; the .-uperiiiteudejit snapped each one out of the way. They were precedents only. "Andj now, why not"' he concluded. Thc foreman scratched his head; and then a iigiit began to twinkle in his eye. the light of daring, initiative—of Amer icanism, for that is what the spirit really is. lie jumped up, shook his shoulders und squared them. The wheel hi u>t» beeu aie a racer. ' * 1 got you,*' suid he. **I'II have a hundred and fifty men on the job by uuun." lt is this dovetailing of all the vari ous activities—from base to cornice, from side to side, tbat helps most to solve the puzzle of rapid construction. No trade waits for another to finish. Each fits iu the moment another makes a groove and ull work skyward together. Thus there muy be more thun u thou sand men on a building ut one time. They swarm like auts over the structure. Mauls, riveting-hammers, trowels, wrenches, shovels, saws—join in a tremendous chorus which may be heard for blocks. Around the base of the building drays are fighting for room and dumping materials rushed hither from the railroad yards of Harlem, from the scows of the North ami Kast rivers, from city supply- shops. Above all is din, dust, clamor, and clang. All seems confusion to the unpractised eye, yet out of the vnstness of it, u massive, architectural, fireproof monument: grows into the heavens to endure for ages. There is another remarkable feature of the express sky-scraper—this, that in their construction amid the traffic- crowded streets of the metropolis, thousands of tons of diverse materials are whirled up and into place without injuring those itelow or even impeding traffic to uu appreciable degree. All the various trades—the masons, steamn'tters, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, plasterers, fire-proof ers, stone- setters, concrete-mixers, laborers—are organized in gungs, as ure the ironworkers. Kuch gang has its "pusher," each trade its foreman. The men are responsible to the "pusher," the "pusher" to the foremen, the foremen to the superintendent. Every kink in the work, every problem of the vast operation—nnd they ure many and frequent —filters quickly down to the superintendent:. He solves them with a suap of his fingers. Sometimes he bawls back his orders through a megaphone. Oae superintendent, an old young mun, wiry, nervous, alert, wus expluining how he dovetailed his building gangs. "I see," I began, "while you are waiting—■■" "No, no!" he interrupted. "Cut out the word 'waiting.' There's no waiting—anywhere. Thut's just the keynote of the job. We don't wait; we double up!" "What will you do wheu you finish this job?" 1. asked. "Get a harder oue," he said, grimly. The spirit of tbe superintendent is, "Mrs. Maybrick found guilty: Sentence of death." Thut news spread through the country one August morning iu i9 aroused thousands of readers of her tnul to protest. Tiie night had hardly closed upon the spreading of the news before petitions were being prepured aud circulated through the country for signature, praying tnat the wretched girl might be saved from the scaffold. When completed, the Maybrick petition was the most extraordinary oue for u prisoner the British isle has ever seen, it bore no fewer than close upon a million sig 1 natures, including those of fifty-two j members of the House of Commons. One t of the most remarkable features of thc 1 Maybrick appeal was that something like thirty-five per cent, of the signatures were those of women. At eleven o'clock one December night, eight yeurs ugo, u cab drove up to the entrance of Hollowuy Prison and u man leapt out. He wus a messenger irom the Home Office bearing a sealed despatch from the Home Secretary for im* Mediate delivery into the hands of the governor of the prison. A few moment, later the governor, the chaplain, and the head wardress were tramping down the dismal corridors of the prison to the cell iu which wus confined Miss Kitty Birou, the young girl condemned for the killing of a stockbroker whom she hud encountered in the street and mortally wounded with a knife before the spectators could rush to his rescue. Thousands of people hurried to append their names to the petitions in her favor. Even in the stock exchange itfcelf people hustled one another to sigu the appeul for mercy, aud iu less than a week 500,000 men and women were pleading on her behalf. The Home Secretary anticipated the presentation of the petition by commuting the sentence, but inter on tlie monster petition was carted into his office urging him to mitigation of the sentence of penal servitude for life. Liverpool was the centre of another great agitation for mercy iu 1808, when the people of Luncushire were aroused respecting the fate of a youug lieutenant iu the Royal Artillery, Lieutenant Wark, who had been condemned to death by Mr. Justice Darling at the preceding assizes. Wark was accused of the murder of a young woman. Kven though guilty, there were many circumstances that appeared to make his offence one for merciful consideration. The jury had themselves strongly recommended him to mercy, and the public found their hearts iu accord with their finding. A manly, but at the same time touching, speech made by tlie prisoner after the verdict had a vast effect. No fewer thun 54,000 persons signed the petitions in his behalf, and the sentence wns Inter on commuted to one of merely three years' penal servitude. From morning till night people flocked to the places iu Edinburgh, Glasgow, und in ull the lurge towns in Scotland it culminutes iu financial operations on a scale unexampled in our day, and 'lie development of innumeruble industries connected with the use of rubber. lt wus, indeed, in lH-iu that Thomson patented the idea of allixing a **bell ' filled with compressed uix to the rim of a carriage wheel, and although his invention never came iuto practical use, he showed greut knowledge of the goo-1 effects which would follow from the use of the pneumatic tire. Thomson, now ever, was ahead of his time, and his tue fouud no favor. Forty-three years later John Dun lop, without uny knowledge of the Thomson invention, patented u pneumatic tire. More than once I huve beard from Mr. Duiilop himself the simple tale of how he came to invent his device. The "safety" bicycle hud then come into vogue, but its wheels were shod with solid rubber tires. Mr. Dunlop's little son p»s- sessed a tricycle, and ns the Dunlops theu lived in Belfast, and the Irish roads were of very bud surface, this veterinary surgeon applied his miud to contrive some means for minimizing the harsh jolting to which his boy was subjected wheu he rode his tricycle. A rubber tube filled with compressed air was evolved, ami it afforded such comfort to the rider that Mr. Dunlop brought the ideu before adult cyclists, aud some enthusiasm wus aroused among them. But Mr. Dunlop would have hardly been more successful iu I88S than Thomson in 184o hud not another man appeared on the scene. Mr. Harvey du Cros wus ut that time a prominent figure in Irish sporting circles, und his sons were famous for their prowess iu cycle racing. With true business instinct, Mr. du Cros saw the immense possibilities of the pneumatic tire for cycles, and he threw himself heart and soul into the work of making this crude invention practicable. His early efforts were greeted wtih derision. Cyclists and cycle manufacturers scoffed at the clumsy "bolster" tyre offered to them, and almost without exception experts declared against it. Then Mr. du Cros brought a band of Irish cyclists, including his sons and Mr. R. J. Mccredy to England, and they gained sweeping victories with the pneumatic tire on the racing track. It was evident now thut the new invention would eventually triumph, but a long and desperate fight against conservatism and prejudice had still to be waged, and it is reasonable to assume that but for the enterprise and ability of Mr. Harvey du Cros Mr. Dunlop's invention might have lain dormant for muny years. Hud this been the case the whole progress of modern locomotion from motoring to airmanship would have been checked, for we can trace the direct influence of the air-filled tire iu all the astonishing developments of the last twenty-two years. So from the bad state of Irish rouds, from the solicitude of a fond par- cut to make smooth progress for his son's cycle over rough roads, Thomson's The Personality of Theodore Roosevelt THAVIU AND HIS BAND Musical Organization Which Comes to the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition, July 13-23 held, iu some measure, by every one of his army of men. They, too, take a Bavage joy in the speed of the work. Ench gang seeks to outrival the other; every trade works for a record. Each strives to do "stunts." The first column up and grilled fast in its concrete base, is decorated witli a Hag—a tribute to the gang that erected it. The last piece of iron in thc completed structure also bears a like emblem, which waves in honor of the whole force. Stonesetters, bricklayers, fireproofers •—all greet the completion of their tasks with a triumphant yell. Yesterday the record was a hundred and fifty dray- loads of materials laid in a day; now they have made the record two hundred. The modern sky-scraper is really a great steel cage blanketed with stoue, cement, anel brick. Its walls and partitions arc very thin as compared with the old-fashioned brick processes which took up room and gave less strength, which, moreover, were slow and costly to erect. The new type of building stands for strength and economy—ami speed. lt wns new only a score of years ago. Then the people of Chicago marvelled over such a structure only nine stories high. Pedestrians blocked the sidewalks in front of it and had to be dispersed by tho police. Today the fifty- story sky-scraper hus already ceased to be a wonder.

These wen* Donaldson und two Chicago reporters, (Iriniwood of the Journal, uml Maitland of the Post nud Mail, But nt the last minute the bnl- leenii wns found to be overburdened, su ceuo of the reporters hud to be left out. Maitland Hipped a coin in the air uml e-cilleel "heads. lie ween, and Grim- wood was about to leave the basket when the press-agent of the Hippodrome interfered unci produced two slips of paper marked -' lirst choice" und "sec- eeuil choice." Pulling tlie helmet off u policeman's head, he put the slips in - side anel hold it, high aloft. Maitland lost this time, aud stepped out. Grim, wood, just before leaving earth, said to a brother scribe: "I cure to go only this once, just for tho experience.'' So ut five on that midsummer afternoon the " I'eiii-nuin'' rose gracefully from the Hippodrome to a height of u mile. Then it Hunted steadily to the northeast, out over Luke Michigan nud iu a direction which, if followed, would hnve tuken it, to (ernnel Haven, eene liiin- cli-eil uml twenty miles distant. Thousands of people packed the lake- front to watch it us it sailed before u flftoon-knot breeze, and not until it hnd been up for an hour and u half did the grout bul! fade frnm their sight. Evou then hundreds, anxious about the descent, waited to see if perchanco n counter-current might se^il it back. Just us dusk wns falling the schooner Little Guide, standing some thirty miles off the Illinois shore, and about u dozen miles north of Chicago, sighted the bnlloon und noted that it occasionally dipped until the basket touched the lake. So the Little Guide made off in the direction of tho aeronauts, although they wore* ci mile and u halt distant, uml darkness wus fust filling the gray space between. Hut- just before tho bout could overtake il the "Barnum," us if from some sudden lightening of the car, shut, upward to a great height, where it disappeared in the blackening night sky. So the schooner c-unie 'ubout uml proceeded on its business. That night a furious hurricane swept down upon Luke Michigan, uml nil through the awful hours two terrified women watched through tho blurred panes of theii- windows. One wus Don- iililsun's fiancee, the loading ocpies- ti-ieniie of tho Hippodrome, whom he hnd bade cm affectionate farewell just before entering the balloon-car. The other wns Grimwooil's nged mother. Prayer nfter prayer they sent up to their God ns the lightnings rent the heavens and the thunders rattled all of tho things of earth. Thoy remained nt their vigil until the morning disclosed n wet but peaceful world, and they hurried down tee the lake, whose frantic waves had subsided until source u ripple disturbed its surface. Hut a maddening month of suspense was to pass before any news should come of either of the missing men. Then arrived a despatch from Stony Creek, on Luke Michigan, saying that Grimwooil 's oorpsc hnd washed up near there. His boots were off nnd a liCe-pfeservcr was ubout his body.

The spot where the bnlloon was first rqported to havo sunk wus rovislted, and gruppliug- irons raked lhe sea-bottom without success. Poles uml tings were raised ou shore to give the searching boats the range of the balloon's Iiight, und a reward of one thousand dollars wus offered for the recovery of Powell's body. Tugs were sent out on hurry orders to scour the Channel coasts of Guernsey, Jersey, und l-'runce, und, ut length, thee Prench navy wus called upon to cooperate in the search. Then followed rumors thul Powell had alighted in' Brittany, thnt ho hud been seen passing over Hartlepool in a fog, ufter coining iu from lhe son; that a soldier on board the Courier hud viewed bim speeding safely over the Chauuel; thut he hail sailed oil' Aleloi-uey; and that a fisherman uf Isigny hud seen the collapsed ' 'Siiluelin '' floating in the water about thirty miles from the french const.

(To add a pinch of soda will better preserve the original green hue of young, fresh cabbage.)

CHAPTER XXIV.—(Continued) • 7T1HEODORE—more of Theodore," JL said Garrison. "From his point of view, and with all his suspicions concerning our relationship, it is a master-stroke, it renders our position exceedingly difiicult." "But how could he have found out all these things*"'' gasped Dorothy. "How could he know?" "He has guessed very shrewdly, and he has doubtless pumped your stepbrother of all that he happened to know.'' 'What shall we do?" she repeated hopelessly. "We can't prove anything —just now—and what will happen wheu the will comes up for probate?" "I'll land him in prison, if he doesu't pull out of it now," said Garrison, angered as much by Theodore's diabolical cleverness as he was by this premature publicity given to the story. '' He has carried it all with a mighty high hand, ■assured of our fear to take the business into court. He has stirred up a fight that I don't propose to lose!—a tight that has roused all the red hot Crusader of my being!" "But—what shall we do? All the newspaper people will be digging at the case aud doing their best to hunt up everyone concerned!" "No reporters can be seen. If the fact leaks out that you are here, through anyone connected with the house, you must move at once, aad chauge your name, letting no one but me know where you are." She looked at hiin blankly. "Aloue? Can't you help me, Jerold?" "It is more important foi me to basin up country uow than it was before," he answered. "I must work night and day to clear things up about the murder." "But—if Foster should really be guil *yf" "He'll be obliged to take his medicine—otherwise suspicion might possibly rest upon you." "Good Heavens!" She was very pale. "This story in the Star has precipitated everything," he added. "Already it contains a hint that you and your 'husband' are the ones who benefit most bv the possible murder of John Hardy.!' Sse sank on a chair ami looked ut him helplessly. "I suppose you'll have to go—but I edon't know whnt I shall do without you. How long do you think you'll be away?" "It is quite impossible to say. I shall return as soon us circumstances permit. I'll write whenever 1 can." "1 shull need some things from the house," she said. "I have absolutely nothing here." "Buy what you need, and remain indoors as much as you can," he instructed. "Reporters will be sure to haunt the house in Ninety-third Street, hoping -to see us return.'' "It's horrible!" said Dorothy. "It almost makes ine wish I had never 'heard of any will!" Garrison looked at her with frank adoration iu his eyes. "Whatever the outcome, I shall always be glad," he said—"glad of the day you needed—needed assistance— glad of the chance it has given me to prove my—prove my—friendship.'' "I'll try to be worthy of your courage," she answered, returning his look with an answering glance in which tlie love-light could only at best be a trifle modified. "But—1 dou't see how- it will end." "About this marriage certificate—" he started, when the door-bell rang interrupting!. In fear of being overheard by the landlady, already attendiug a caller Garrison halted, to wait. A moment later the door was opened by the lady of the house herself, and a freshly groomed, smooth-shaven young man was ushered in. The room was the ouly one in the house for this semi-public use. "Excuse me." said the landlady sweetly. "Someone to see Miss Ellis." The visitor bowed very slightly to Dorothy und Garrison, and stood somewhat awkwardly near the door, with bis hat in his hand. The landlady, having made her excuses for such an intrusion, disappeared to summon Miss Ellis. Garrison was annoyed. There was nothing to do but to stand there iu embarrassing silence. Then Miss Ellis came ihyly in at the door, dressed so becomingly that it seemed not at all unlikely 3he had hoped for the evening's visitor. "Oh, Mr. Hunter, this is a very pleasant surprise!" she said. "Allow me to introduce my friends, Mr. aud Mrs. Fairfax." she added to Garrison and Dorothv, "This is Mr. Hunter, of the New York Star." Prepared to bow and let it go at that, Garrison started, ever so slightly, on learning the visitor's connection. Mr. Hunter, on his part, meeting, strangers unexpectedly, appeared to be diffident and quite conventional, but pricked up his ears, which wero strung to catch the lightest whisper of uews, at the mention of the Fairfax name. "Not the Fairfax of the Hardy case?" he said, for the moment intent ou nothing so moving as a possible service to his paper. "Of course you've seen '' Garrison sat down on the copy of the Star which Dorothy had left iu a chair. He deftly tucked it up beneath his coat. No, oh, no, certainly not," he said, aud pulling out his watch, he added to {Dorothy, "I shall have to be going. Put \a your hat and come out for a two- unuto walk." Then, to the others: "Sorry to havo to run off in this uncomplimentary fashion, but I trust we shall meet again.'' Hunter felt by instinct that this was the man of all men whom he ought, in all duty, to see. He could not insist upon his calling in such a situation, however, and Garrison und Dorothy, bowing as they passed, were presently out in the hail with the parlor door closed behind them. In half a minute more they wero out upon the street. "You'll be obliged to find other apartments at once," he said. "You'd better not even go back to pay the bill. I'll send the woman a couple of dollars and write that you made up your mind to go along homo, after all." "But—1 wanted to ask a lot of questions—of Miss Ellis," said Dorothy, thereby revealing the reason she had wished to come here before. "I thought perhaps " "Questions about me?" interrupted Garrison, smiling upon her in the light of a street lamp they were passing. "I can tell you far more about the subject than she could even guess—if we ever get the time.'' Dorothy blushed as she tried to meet his gaze. "Well — it wasa't that — exactly," she said. I only thought—thought it might be interesting to know her.'' "It's far more interesting to know where you will go,'' he answered. '' Let ine look at this paper for a minute." He pulled forth the Star, turned to the classified ads, found the "Furnished Koonis," ami cut out half a column with his knife. "Let me go back where I was tonight," she suggested. "I am really too tired to hunt a place before tomorrow. I can slip upstairs aud retire at once, and the first thing iu the morning I cau go to a place where Alice used to stay, with a very deaf woman who never remembers my name aud always calls me Miss Root.'' "Where is the place?" said Garrison, halting as Dorothy halted. "In West Eighteenth Street." She gave him the number. "It will look so very queer if I leave like this," she added, "I'd rather uot excite suspicion." "All right," he replied, taking out a booklet and jotting down "Miss Root," and the address she had mentioned. "I'll write to you iu the name the deaf woman remembers, or thinks she remembers, and no one need know who you are. If I hurry now 1 can catch the train that connects with the local on the Hartford division for Rockdale.'' , They turned and weut back to the house. "Vou don't know how long you'll be gone?" she said as they ueared the steps . "You cannot tell iu the least?" '' Long enough to do some good, I hope," he answered. "Meantime, don't see anybody. Don't answer auy questions; and don't neglect to leave here early iu the morning." She was silent for a moment, and looked nt him shyly. "1 shall feel a little bit lonely, I'm afraid," she confessed—"witli none of my relatives, or friends. I hope you'll not be very long. Good-by.'' "Good-by," said Garrison, who could not trust himself to approach the subject she had broached; and with his mind reverting to the subject of his personal worry in the case, he added: "By the way; the loss of your wedding -certificate can be readily repaired if you'll tell me the name of the preacher, or the justice of the peace " "I'd rather not—just at present,' she interrupted, in immediate agitation "Goodnight—I'll have to go in." She fled up the steps, found the door ajar, and pushing it open, stood frameei by the light for a moment, as she turn ed to look back where he was standing Only for a moment did she hover there, however. He could not see her face as she saw his. He could not know that a light of love aud a mute appeal for forgiveness lay together in the momentary glance bestowed upon him. Then she closed the door; und as one in a dream he slowly walked away. CHAPTER XXV. A Dearth of Clews Garrison's ride ou the train was a mutter of several hoors' duratiou. Not only did he read every line of the story in the Star, which he felt convinced had beeu furnished by young Robinson, but he likewise had time to reflect ou all the phases, old and new, of the case iu which he wus involved. Hut wander where they would, his thoughts invariably swung around the troubled circle tu Dorothy ami the topic wus she married or not, and if she was—c where was the man? He could not reach a decision. Heretofore he had reasoned there could be no genuine Fairfax; tonight he entertained many doubts of his Former deduction's, He found it possible to construe Dorothy's actions botli ways. She was afraid to have him search out the man who had written her wedding certificate, perhaps because it was a fraud, or perhaps because there wus a Fairfax somewhere, concerning whom something must be hidden. The murder mystery, the business of the will, even the vengeance ho promised himself he would wreak ou Theodore, sunk into significance in the light of his personal worry. There was only oue thing worth while, and thut was love. He was rapidly approaching a frame of mind iu which no sacrifice would be too great to bo made, could he only be certain of winning Dorothy, heart-free, for his own. For more than an hour he sat thinking, in the car, oblivious to the flight of time, or to the towns through which he was passing. Ho gave it up at last and, taking from his pocket a book he employed for memoranda, studied certain items there, supplied by Dorothy, concerning her uncle and his ways of life. There were names of his frieads and his enemies among the scribbled data, together with descriptive bits concerning Hardy's personality. Marking down additional suggestions and otherwise planning his work to be done at Rockdale, Garrison reflected there was little apparent hope of clearing young Durgin of suspicion, unless one trifling hint should supply the clew. Dorothy had stated that her Uncle John had long had some particularly bitter anil malicious enemy, a man unknown to herself, from whom she believed Mr. Hardy might have been fleeing, from time to time, iu the trips which had become the habit of his life. That this constant moving from place to place had beeu the bane of his existence was a theory that Dorothy had formed a year before. Yet, for all she knew, it might have been young Eoster Durgin whom her uncle was trying to avoid! The train connection for Rockdale was wretchedly timed. What with n long wait at the junction and a long delay at a way station farther out, it was nearly one o'clock when ut length his destination was reached and Garrison, with his steel-trap suit-case in hand, found his way to a second-rate hotel, where, to his great relief, the beds were far better than they looked. He hnd taken the precaution to register as Henry Hilborn. realizing that Rockdale doubtless abounded iu acquaintances of Hardy's who would probably read the published story of his will in their own local papers in the morning, He wrote at once to Dorothy, under the name of Miss Root, apprising her of his altered name and his address. In the morning he was early at his work. Representing himself as nothing more than the agent of the New York Insurance Company, for which he was, in fact, couductiug his various investigations, at least in part, he rapidly searched out one after another of tho persons whose names Dorothy had supplied, but all to little purpose. He found the town very much alive indeed to the news which the Star had blazoned to the world. Hardy had been a well-known figure off and on, for many years in Rockdale, and the names of the Durgins and of Dorothy were barely less familiar. Garrison's difficulty was not that the people talked too little, but rather that they talked too much, and said almost nothing in the process. New trivialities were exceedingly abundant. He worked all day with no results of consequence. The persons whose names had been supplied by Dorothy had, in turn, furuished more names by the dozen, alleging that this man or that knew John Hardy better than the proverbial brother, if possible; nevertheless, one after another, they revealed their ignorance of any vital facts that Garrison could use. On the following day he learned that Paul Durgin, the nephew credited with having claimed the body of the murdered man, lived ten miles out on a farm, amassing a fortune rearing ducks. Hiring a team, Garrison drove to Durgin's farm. He found his man in the centre of a vast expanse of duck-pens, where ducks by the thousand, all singularly white anel waterless, were greeting their master with acclaim. Durgin enme out of the duck midst to see his visitor. He was a large, taciturn being, healthy, strong, anil independent, a trifle suspicious and more than a trifle indifferent as to the final disposal of John Hardy's fortune. Garrison, lit first, found him hard to handle. He had not yet read the papers. He knew nothing at all of whnt was being said: nnd now that ho heard it nt last, from Garrison's lips, lie scarcely did more than nod his head. Garrison was annoyed. He determined on awakening the diick-stopored being, unless the task should prove hopeless. "Mr. Durgin," he said, "the reasons for supposing that Hardy was murdered —poisoned—are far more convincing than anyone reallv supposes—and suspicion points particularly at a person in whom you may and may not be interested—your younger brother, Foster Durgin." A curious white appearance crept all about the smooth-shaven mouth of the duck man. He was not iu the least an emotionless clod; he was not even cold or indifferent, but silent, slow at giving expression to anything but excellent business capabilities. He looked at Garrison steadily, but with dumb appeal in his eyes. The blow lcr.rl gone home with a force that made Garrison sorry. "How could that be?" tho man ia quired, "even with Foster wild?"

A watch, it may be stated as a general proposition, is the smallest, most delicate instrument of the same number of parts that has ever been devised. About 175 different pieces of material enter into its construction, and upwards of 2,400 .separate operations are comprised in its manufacture. Certain of the facts connected witli its performance are well-nigh incredible when considered as a whole. A blacksmith strikes several hundred blows on his anvil in a day, and, as a matter of course, is glad when Sunday comes; but thc roller jewel of a watch makes every day—and day by day—■ 432,000 impacts against the fork, or l;",(SeSO,000 blows during the course of a year, without stop or rest—some'3,- ir*.:},(,00,000 blows during the space of twenty years, the period for which a watch is usually guaranteed to keep good time. But the wonder of it does not cease here. It has been calculated that tlie power that moves tbe watch is equivalent to only four times the force used in a Ilea's jump. The watch power is, therefore, what might be termed the equivalent of four flea-power. One horse-power would suflice to operate 270,000.000 watches. Furthermore, the balance-wheel of a watch is moved by this four flea power one and forty-three one-hundred ths inches with each vibration, or 3,.'ii3S:)/i miles continuously in one year.

THE VaALLEY OF PAR.ADISE (By Grace Keon) THK sun was betting, and as the man] aud tbe girl stood side by side, I the goldeu light seemed to envelop them like a tender benediction. Around them and ubout them was no other visible living soul—they weie separated j from the world of men uud women. As they gazed at the entrancing vista, uj wandering bird alighted ou a bough of a great maple close beside them, ciieep- ing a little noisily, as of out- who hud great e.xcuse to make, and wu» .answered as noisily from within the shelter yf the clustering leaves. .Nell listened with laughter in her soft brown eyes, a smile on her parted lips, and the" hand which was imprisoned in" her loverV trembled a little with -sheer pleasure— in the scene, iu their solitude, in the busy rascal of a bird so clo.se to them (a bird that should have been at home and in bed un hour since;, hopping up and down and declaiming violently, She waited until the low ''cheep, cheep" bud resolved itself into a few scattered notes, then ceased altogether. "How lovely, how lovely!" she whis pered. "I want to say it as a child says it, John, over aud over and over again. I want to dance up and dowu and sing and call out, the way the forest creatures do, for very joy of life and living.-" John Douglas, the practical, smiled at her indulgently.

Her practical common sense seconded his every word. For tlie first time her sweet voice faltered. "How hard it is!" she said. "I wish I knew how it won IJ end—I wish 1 knew some arguments to move her. lint. oh, John!" Her soft brown eyes sought his face, appealingly. "She is iny mother—she has cared for me so Jong—for twenty-four long years. Vou love me for what she has made me, John, Vou see it, don't you, dear.' To snatch at my own happiness without thought of her— Oh, John, I cannot, it would be brutal. My valley of paradise would seem a \alley of discord—and want a shadow, not a single ever to linger above it." "Vou have loved her dearlv, "Have loved?" "Forgive me thai—I did not mean1 it. But Nell, .Veil, if through her—let■ us suppose this now—if through her I you and I looked upon our valley of] paradise for the last time this dny, the last time In our lives, what then.'" She lifted her grave, sweet face to Ins. The red lips were tremulous, the [ delicate nostrils quivered, "What then.'" she echoed, slowly.' "It would snap my life in two. 1 do not j mean that 1 would lose my grip on j things—I am too strong, too ambitious ; for that. Hut there would be no future | for me. Vet — I would not blame her, John, t feel she does not comprehend."! He hesitated an instant. "She was happily married to a good! man," he said. "She idolized her hits-j band, and she has taught her children to revere his memory, if she had been) unkindly or coldly treated as some men treat the women they profess to love —" He paused then; the look on her face, the tears that sprang to her eyes, hushed the words on liis lips. "I will say no more, sweetheart." he went o:i gently, "I do not waut to sadden you." Vet never had his arguings or pleadings left that strange unrest at her heart. She could not solace herself with the reflection that her mother's opposition would soon be lessened. And use he had brought her to his for the first time, now I am soured, if you will.

Mrs, Northrop sat quietly rocking in the low chair in the middle of tne room. Her friend, a little woman with soft white hair above a wrinkled forehead rind with lips that in repose were wistful, even sorrowful, had been looking at her curiously, $he thought -tow well Eleanor Northrop stood the stress of years; how lovely she was still; how her very person, her slender figure, in its well-worn black gown, radiated her personality; how she fitted, into this room which, artistic and buautiful and quiet ly subdued, was dominated by the woman's presence, the touch of her hand, her tastes, -She watched the curve of her wrist, the turn of her head, the daintiness that was part and would always be part of her—a daintiness she love.'!; fp-V they were true nnd ardent friends, these two, opposite in character as thev might be on the surface, but alike beneath. "It's strange, Eleanor," she said. "No amount of worry seems to be able to affect you. Do you know you are almost as attractive today ;is ever you were.' " Eleanor Northrop lifted her head, filing it up rather, and her eyes met her friend s smilingly, "Almost!" she said. "With one or two exceptions. This grey hair, for example, which is barely enough to cover my poor scalp; the crow's-feet and the very handsome teeth substituted for my own rather insignificant ones! I may be almost as attractive to those who care for me. Juliet, but not nearly so genuine! There was an undercurrent of mockery in her tones. Juliet Clarke glanced at her sea rchi ugly. "I wanted to feast my eyes on .you— it's a treat to find you alone—even if you do rail at yourself. And now— well, Eleanor, I want to ask you something, and I know no one else would be courageous enough. Have you heard from Tom ?'' "From my son?" Her expression changed a trifle. "No, Juliet, 1 haven't heard from him. When Marsden's man came aud told me of the deficit— nearly seven hundred dollars—Nell and Margaret and I scraped together and paid it. Mr. Mnrsden was very nice. Said that Tom was so young that thore was every hope for him. and did not wish to take the money. Hut, of course, I insisted. Nell and Margaret insisted, too, though it deprived them of a few comforts for a while. "That's over two years ago, isn't tne and feet, it Ele Ni inor. I da ' Ves.'' 'Ami vou've heard nothi 'Nothing. To tell matching the flame with ing tenderness. " It i.**. just a duty to let her go as it was duty to shield their frrtht from his children." "Juliet, whut are you saying?" .Mrs. Northrop's lips quivered, her nails were pressed into her cold palms. "Just as much!" repeated her friend solemnly. "Some of us must pay—some one must pay. The dead cannot—the young will not—but there are those who stand between who must. Vou are one of these. Kleaiior. und just or un just, the debt is yours. Vou contracted it when you gave birth to that child who is your second self. How your heart wus trampled on, your finest t'eeljn outraged, you know and I know dear. Will you inflict your suffering on I another.' Vou've stood the test nobly so far, and before Nell and Margaret and Tom and all rhe world Francis] Northrop was the ideal father, the idol izing husband, And you would put1 part of this sacrifice on Nell—" "To save her!" "Her life is not your lite," said the | gentle mentor, steadily: "If you spoil it, as you will by forbidding this marriage, you lose everything and gain nothing. " The mother rose to her feet, her breast heaving. "I lose everything when I lose her," she said iu a dogged tone. "The sharer of all my early dreams. I lost them be fore .Margaret and Tom came. Some times I'm glad Margaret is so beauti ful—it will muke up to her for her lack of heart. And Tom—oh. Tob is indeed to my credit, the carefully-trained boy who could not resist the first slight temptation—'' "l'oor, foolish lad!" said Juliet Clarke. "Had he dared to fling himself at his mot he. might never have happened.' Nl rs. Northrop stared at her resent fully. *' lion 't get angry, to tell you the truth this world would—you know that—so respect me for my bravery. Vou are jealous of Nell's love, Nell's affection, and you tell yourself that you are trying to save her, forgetting that a mother never comes into the true kingdom of her daughter's heart until that daughter is herself a wife and mother." "You speak as if you knew what were talking thorn,'' sail Kle Northrop. "My boy did not live," said Juliet Clarke, simply. "In that I am the less fortunate, for you have your children. Hut when I held that tiny body in my arms for the first time, 1 would have given the world, did I pos-ess it. to lay my head once more on my mother's knee. 1 thought that J had "loved her— then I knew, i lived to be glad that 1 had lost all else—my husband and my diild, but never, never, that I did not have my mother!

"Don't dear," said her friend. "Vou and 1 are growing old now—wc nre on the way down-hill. Some things we see too clearly, and are miserably blind to others—that is why we make mis takes, Perhaps, since I an. onlv ;iii on looker, 1 can sec that which i.s hidden from you—'' She paused, for Mrs. Northrop held up a warning hand, and turned to the table, so that her back was toward tin* door. Her face was very pale, her eyes strained. Then the door was opened, und Nell stood on the threshold. "Mav we come iu. mother.'" she called, brightly. "And Mrs. Clarke!" in a tone of pleased surprise. "How good to see you here! "Vour mother would not come to me, so 1. was forced to come to her.'' said Mrs. Clarke, smiling into the girl's interested face. "Vou young folks keep her so busy I never have live minutes with her any more. And now that I have caught a glimpse of you. Nell. I'll take myself oil'." Nell bent from her greater' height to kiss the little lady's soft, pink cheek, "Good evening Mr! Douglas, Haven't noticed your card among those received lately*—uo apologies! I understand. Good-bv, Klean- or.'' • 'Good by. Juliet. " Nell looked after her, amused, smiling. "She is just like a dainty bird that in some unaccountable ner has lived to grow old," Shq said. And then, with a change of tone, a slight, embarrassment; "Mother, don't you are a goo.J man." Her eyes sought his sleadiljt and he seemed to be looking into Nell's eyes without their trust ing confidence; Nell'- eyes which had seen much misery and had wept many tears, Nell'.- eves shadowed by pain and sorrow. Something stirred in his heart, something thai seemed striving to make itself heard from her soul to hi-. Hut he could not understand—not yet. ■ * She will give you her true, noble heart.

"Some .|;iy you will know what that means, please God, Some day yon will realize the consecration of the first born!" She rose and moved toward the door, .lohn Douglas, leaning forward, took Nell's hands iu his and held them tightly. The mother looked back—at the girl, half turned toward her, gazing uf ter her, wondering, a little saddened; at. the man, rapt urous, happy, hi- eyes aglow, fastened on Nell's lowered head. "God grant you may walk long in the valley of paradise, my children, she said, and so passed out of the room, Leaving them alone. Current Verse JUNE eiiel.* and I."'

One of the finest concerts that has been heard in Hosmer for a long time was given by the Methodists at the opera house on Monday night. There was, as ail vert ised, talent old and talent new, and it is hard to say which was more appreciated. The llosmer orchestra is now an institution which, without, llosmer would be dull indeed. Their selections on Monday night were given with more /est than ever, and the various numbers met with the appreciation they deserved. Three new singers to the town were the Misses Whyte, Rankine and Gourlay, all of whom rendered their songs most creditably. Miss Whyte's "Come Back to Erin" was sung in a most charming manner, while Miss Rankin's rich con- piece of llannel dampened with this liniment is superior to any I tralto voice was perhaps heard . plaster for lame back, pains in to greatest advantage in "On spent ruesday in this illustrious tnosklo ;m(- (.|l(,s,_ a]|(, mudl the Banks of Allan Water." | cheaper.
