chants OF all nations are permitted TO
barter their vile liquors In exchange
for ivory, gums, spices or other prod

rivalry in degeneration, so that raw
spirits and poisonous authorizations will
be resorted to to entrap the natives.
This is taking n mean advantage OF
ignorance, which even the laxest
morals OF trade could not sanction;
and besides bringing misery to the
women and children, 1t will destroy

He stayed on that trail for three days.
He used to get on it each morning at
seven o'clock and stay till six at night, car

A Great Railroad.

Not long ago Mr. George H. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New York
Central q Hudson River Railroad, IN ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners to visit
this country, directed their attention to
the fact that the United States of
America is the greatest country on
earth, pcoplcd with sixty million Of the
most civilized and cnterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road in the
world; that it started from the largest city
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities IN the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route to that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects 1t reveals more of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditionS than any other route. There
is much. in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central d Hudson River Railroad is
the outgrOwth of a luxurious and prosper
Gus civilization and one of its greatest en-
ginecring triumphs. AS is we'll known it
is the only line from the west to New York
that lands its passengers in that city
without fcrrying them across the North
River. Its spacious and magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride of
New York, but a lasting monument to the
foresighted liberality and enterprise of that
great organizer and founder of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad sys-
TEN, Commodore Vanderbilt. The limited
trains of this line are the finest in the
world, and its general accommodations for
the travelling public are only known and APP
preciated by that large portion of it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.

Three days later we find Sleuthhound get
ting ready to try once more. By this it will
be seen that he wasn't one of their kind of
men who give up the first time.
81 must shadow some one" he whispered
IN midnight accents to his assistant,
Verges Lightfoot.
'Who?" whispered Lightfoot.
"Jones will be good man, " Kissed Sleuth-
hound; I'll shadow Jones"
All that day and the next and the day
after that Jones was not out of Sleuth-
hounds sight. When he went to business
Sleuthhound's cat like tread was close be-
hind; he lowered near his Office door and
watched him through the window; Jones
went to luncheon, but the hawk-eyed Sleuth-
hound saw him; the long and weary nights
Sleuthhound passed on the roof of Jones'
wood-shed counting his very breathing.
Slcuthhound never slept. During all these
days Jones did not turn over his hand but
Sleuthhound knew it. But he was cautious.
1t was his custom never to rouse suspicion.
If Jones had once seen HIM 1t had been fatal.
He never slept. He never aroused sus-
picion. He never gave up. These were
Sleuthhound's notices. He Swallowed Jones
that day, the next one and the day after.
On the afternoon of the third day Jones
turned while walking along the street, came
back to where Sleuthhound was gliding
like ghost and said:

A week later and ave will find President
Sleuthhound working with some laborers
on new sewer He suspected that one of
the workmen was the guilty man. For three
days he had worked close by the han by
day and slept by his side at night. The man
supposed him simply a laborer like himself.
The man had mentioned that he had great
burden on his mind. He said he must con-
TESS soon to some one or it would kill him.
Sleuthhound asked him to confess to him
and he said he would.
But" says the man to Sleuthhound,
''why do you strive to be so intimate with
newly so friendlya"
"Why, I'm worming myself into your con-
1idencc, of course" answers Sleuthhound.
That's way we detectives have, you
knOw-we worm our way into a mans
confidence and get him TO confess and then
nab him. It's just little way we have,
this worming and nabbing-go ahead and
confess like good fellow.'
