The young man looked at his pointed

what was the matter with them.
Then the detective told him the shoes
were 30 sharp at the toes that If he
should get mad and kick man he
would split him open.
Theu the detective wiDked and said
"You may go this time, but don't let it
OCCUR again."

splendid highways known to history for the
passage of their noble steeds OF flesh and blood +,
probably never dreamed that they were gra-
ding the pathway for future iron horses to be
propelled by intangible steam. Yet that is
just what in some instances they did. Italian
railways follow closely the routes of many
Roman roads, in not a few cases. running lite
rally on their well-worked beds. The railway
from Rome to Naples runs nearly over the line
of the famous Appian way for many miles,
then turns to the eastward and later still fol-
lows the route of the Via Campania, and SO
gets into the Southern city. The railway from
Rome to Milan and other cities of Northern
Italy is nearly Identical for considerable part
of its course with the ancient Flaminian way,
and the railway from Rome to Genoa follows
closely the Aurelian way. There is something
ing road, a new one of narrow gauge to con-
ton. This will follow the coast line .rather
closely, and 60 through many interesting
places. The iron is going down quite rapidly
at the Naples end Of the line. Narow-gauge
road, by the way, are in considerable favor in
Italy, Outside of Ialy proper, in Sicily and
Sardinia, the ciyilizing influence of railways is
beginning to be seen. The tracks cross Sicily
in every direction, opening to sight enhancing
rural sceuery and assisting in the development
of the fertile soil and the mines. In Sardinia
railroad running the whole length of the is
land divides it into two nearly equal parts, and
altogether the enthusiastic builders declare
that the railway is doing wonders for Italy"
