Refine McCloskey looked up with startled
expression in her deep, fawn-like eyes as
these words reached her, and as her glance
met that of George w. Simpson she saw, or
fancied that she did, look of haunting
fear and nameless terror pass over his face,
while the hand that held her own seemed to
tremble slightly, and the fnely-chiseled lips
quivered as If in pain.
E"You are ILL.," she said, placing her hand
upon his arm and looking up wistfnlly at
the face of the man she loved so well.
For an instant George did not reply.
Then bending tenderly over him until his
lips were almost touched by the coronal of
sunny hair that her father had agreed to pay
for next month, he kissed the fair white
brow that was upturned TO him.
You love me, sweetheart he asked.
"Better than life," replied the girl, draw
ing still closer to him, and stroking with a
gentle touch his handsome face, which was
hot and feverieh-"but you are really not
well. Let us go into the conservatory.

For answer she placed her hand again
within his own, and as she looked up to
him he saw that the beautiful brown eyes
were suffused with tears. ''You are cruel
to ever doubt my love, darling" she said
between the sobs that made her words
sound like cider coming out of jug ."far

GUS life, yet silent as the grave, is indescrb-
ably weird and unearthly. Suddenly the
clouds are rent, and on the highest point of
the great cliff appears colossal face of
stone, the perfect likeness of the famous
Emperor himself, turned upward as if sleep
ing. Why does he lie so still with these
clouds of war rolling above him? He was
won't to slumber when hosts were meeting
In battle. But victory and defeat are all
alike to him now, and he whose last
thoughts were of war has done with war for
ever:
A little spot suiiiceth him whom not suniced all;
The small is now as great to him the great

frowning precipices, the great black pyra

one in the shadowy twilight, and, just as ut
ter darkness sets in, we drop cur anchor in
the tiny hollow of James bay, almost the
only available landing-place on this iron
bound shore. Two dot of light far up the
dark cliff, and third on the gloomy waters
below, are at first the sole tokens Of mans
presence in this great fortress OF nature.

IT is gratifying to learn that while the
Republican leaders in Ohio are alive to the
fact that by taking bold and we'll defined
stand on the liquor question they run great
risk of losing the German vote, they are yet
determined to win or lose by the platform
upon which Judge Foraker was nominated,
and have no idea of attempting the difficult
and dangerous feat of carrying water on
both shoulders. They will not make any
attempt to please both those who are in fa-
vor of free rum and those who advocate
placing the liquor traffic under appropriate
restrictions; but they will appeal for popu
lar support as the champions of the Scott
law and the friends of temperance. This
may cost them the German vote, but it will
command the respect and secure the adhe-
renee of all intelligent and right-thinking
men.

A launch propelled by stored elec,rlclty
made trial trip between the Temple anu
Greenwich recently, being one OF the nrst
instances OF the Use OF this motive power
thus applied. The launch, which is only
forty feet in length, was built OF galvanized
steel by the Messrs. Yarrow Il Co., OF
Poplar, and the propelling power is found
by Messrs. Semens's dynamos, placed I'M
der the flooring Of the stern OF the boat,
which is raised there about eight
inches. The electricity for giving mo.
ton TO the dynamo Is obtained
from Faure- Sellon-V olckmar accumuia-
tor cells, supplied by the Electric
Power Storage Company, placed under
the flooring, where they not only do not
occupy space available for passengers. but
are useful in forming ballast. There is
storage sufficient TO give very high speed
for six hours or a longer time with me-
dunn speed. On the ordinary launches the
machinery and attendants occupy the
larger and better part OF the vessel, but on
the enc tried on Tuesday the only ma
chinerv seen was the steering-9ear. and
one mar steered and managed the whole,
there being room for more than forty
persons. There was in the travel
ling no noticeable vibration, and the
absence Of smoke was not only apparent
to the travellers, but to the workers on
ships in the pool, who hailed the little craft
with the query as to where the funnel was.
The boat arrived at Greenwich in three
quarters Of an hour. The makers present
the craft as possessing qualities especially
adapted for warfare, for she is noiseless.
