As remedy for all these Mr.. Towne
suggests some changes in the law. He
says:
l would accordingly respectfully urge on
your honorable body that our relations with
Canada render proper and just a suggestion
that Congress revoke the provision of the law
which prohibits pooling, and thereby deprives
American carriers of one means of defense
against their Canadian rival, as indicated in
my answer to your 18th interrogatory. | be-
lieve the interest of the people as well as the
railroads could be fully protected by placing
the pooling organizations under the scrutiny of
the Interstate Commerce Commission, who
could exercise like reeulative functions in ref
erence thereto as now delegated to them by
Congress in matters pertaining to interstate
traffic. Finally, | believe such organizations
would greatly facilitate the administration of
the interstate commerce law and Tighten the
arduous laborS of the Interstate Commission.
Such governmental security would be an aSsur-
of justice to the railroads and safety to the
people, and would, under the lash of public
opinion, soon force fractions and INSCRIPTIONS
roads into a reasonable attitude for it would
surely develop that the road declining to CO.

Tive conditions "cOntemplates some wrong

that will throb with intense agony,

be Il loving sister, who viii shed

1t requires no argument to con-
vince men that self protection is
duty. People are liable to harm
from one another, from themselves,
from other criminals. and from natu-
raj causes.
Waving the sources otharm which
may come from animals, from natu-
raj causes, and from ones self, let
the question be confined to the harm
which may come from other persons.
Waving, further, the harm which
may be done to property, reputa-
ton and kindred interests, let self
protection be restricted to the body
the physical part of ones self.
This is what is generally understood
when men speak OF protecting or
defending themselves. How can a
man best protect himself?
L. Let him put away from his per-
son all deadly weapons.
,. Let him keep his tongue from
talsehood, SANDER and profanity.
). Let him abstain from intoxicat-
ing drink, refrain from all species OF
gambling and keep himself away
from the company OF wicked men.
i. Let him refrain from meddling
with the business or disputes OF
other persons.
A man who will do these things
goes a long way in protecting him
self, and these things can be done
by any man who choose so to act,
though he may not be real Chris
tian. Few men have been killed
who have conducted themselves &C
cording to the suggestions specified;
and men who have thus conducted
themselves have seldom found occa-
sion to hurt, much less attempt to
kill hers.-Christain Neighbor.

A LITTLE FORESIGHT.
Why Ii Is of More Use Than All Unlin-
tied QUAINT " OF Afterthougnt


A little foresight is Of more value than
much afterslght, says the Sunday-School
Times. Foresight is the planner, aftersight
is the critic, of our deeds. What painful
scenes, embarras sments, regrets, disap-
pointments, self accusations, the habit of
looking ahead and planning to meet and to-
arrange the future will AVOID? Time and
money spentin designinga building perfect
ly, in definitely predetermining principles
and rules Of action, and marking off limits
before embarking in any new project, in
mapping out work, in arrang ing engage
ments in avoiding conflicts of duty and the
impossible demand to be in two places at
one time, are well spent. But the fore
thought is more difficult than tue after
thought. The one requires intense applica-
ton to systematic consideration and search
OF the fell of the possible; the o.hcr sug-
gests Itself instantly and naturally Any
body can see that the door is in the wrong
place after the house is built. or can say
that the speech was a mistake after it had
! peen delivered and its effect noticed It is

The Yonkers market, while she lived some
where else.' Then. moment after, that
somewhere else must be across the rlver.'
He looked out across the chilly waters to
The bleak palisades on the other side, and
could see here and there little houses
aestling against the rocks, widely separated
from each other and apparently out OF
reach of civilization in every direction. In
front was the wide river, across which no
ferry regularly ran, and back of them were
5he steep palisades, all impossible wall OF
solid rock three hundred or four hundred
feet high He went to the wharves and
hunted up g. place where there were boats
TO let To the keeper he said: 500 you
ever have occasion to take passengers
across the river to any Of those houses on
the other side2';
.'Oh, yes said the man, cheerfully,
;sonce in awhile. People that live over there
have to come over occasionally, and when
they do we take them, too"
sHow do you know" he said, ''when any
body over there wants to crosse
"Why," said the keeper, ''if they haven't
got boats of their own and have to come
over here, they hang out white flag from
the roof, and if we happens to- seeit and we
have time, we just rig Up % boat aud go
over. That's all. Speakin' Of that, there
was flag hung ont this mor1in' from one
of those houses over there, and it was not
more than two hours ago that we went ana
got woman as wanted to go Gown to New
York;
"Iwsh you would take nae over there"

matter what the price is," replied Mi. Par
ker, coolly, and he put a dollar bill into
the keepers hand.
The boatman started up as if he had re-
ceived an electric shock.
sYou Just wait here about two seconds"
he said, s'and pll have boat for you"
The Two seconds proved to be about ten
minutes, which Mr.. Parker passed cha6ng
with excitement When the boatman
came around again he said: "Do you know
the anne OF the people who live over there?"
emo" he said, ~ don't know those that
live in that particular house, although they
have been there q long time: never hap

men may know. Hi, JIM" he went on

is a very vague impression, and it may have
been in quite contrary direction
.'Do you know" persisted Mr.. Parker,
whether she had any other relatives be-
sides her mother in this part Of the coun-
try?'
;:No, think she had none. All her other
relatives remained in Ireland"
A few more questions in the same vein
concluded the interview, and Mr. Parker
went away feeling considerably depressed
with the magnitude of the undertaking
which he had on his hands. He felt certain
that if he could only find this Donnelly or
Donohue, as the case might be, he should
discover some clew to the whereabouts OF
Mrs Brownlow. The more he thought it
over the more he became convinced OF that
theory and the more he felt that he had
made favorable start in his inquiry. His

"rhe possibilities in this case are very few;
it should be reasonably easy to eliminate all
things which are not possible from consld-
GRAFTON, and so concentrate attention upon
those things which were most likely to
happen. Now, then, the first point which
may be taken as clew is this: Mrs. Brown
low left the house altogether unprepared
for Journey. She was not only in evening
dress, but so far as the efforts OF the detect
ives have shown any thing, it is clear that
she went away without any money m her
pocket to pay for journey OF any con sid
cradle length. The matter, then, resolves
itself into one of two general things: She
is either dead, having been killed, or met
with some fatal accident before getting far
from her house. or she is alive and in this
immediate vicinity. There is no reason TO
think that any other horn of the dilemma
can be found Now, if we proceed upon
the theory that she is alive, and that is q
thing that we must do now, it is necessary
to find out in what part of this vicinity she
might be- That, then, is the one problem
that confronts me.''
Having gone thus far in his analysis OF
the situation, Mr.. Parker came to dead
stop. 1t was night, and he was at his Of
fee, and long after the other occupants
had left for their homes he remained, his
feet in the air and an unlighted cigar in
his lips, bordering over the situation. The
next morning he started for the house OF
Mr.. Champion, and when he had found the
head Of the family, he said:
"Iam Henry Parker. sir, the member of

CHAPTER v III.

This letter, Ia a cranipad hand, written
in pencil, was without date or any other
evidence as to the place where it was writ
ten. The post,nark was badly blurred, but,
looked at upside down, crossWise and in
every other way imaginable, 1lr. Parker
thought that he could see that it was Yonk-
ers. He read and re~read Che letter, and
wondered how it could be that in all his
patient searching through Yonkers he had
not discovered any trace of this woman. 1t
was evident that the letter bad been written
within year, because it said: III have
heard that you were married." and Mrs.
Brownlow's marriage had not occurred
more than year previous to her disappear
ance So engrossed WAS the lawyer in
thinking; over this phase of the case that he
forgot fer moment that two other letters
in the pile that he had laid out remained to
be read. Locking tEspm over he found that
one was in the same hand as that which he
had just been reading, ana on that the post
mark was plainly onkers. He seized it
feverishly aud opened it. That letter was
as follows:
stDEAR MRS. LEONORA.-.i am sorry to here

'sWhy in thunder" exclaimed Mr.. Parker,
when he had read this letter. idoes not the
woman say where she is and how to get
there! But will wager one hundred dol
lars, if ever get as much money, that Mrs.
BroWnlow knew how to get there. and did
get there, and if she did can and will.
He took out his watch. looked at it, con-
suited a timetable of the Hudson River
railroad and hurried out of his Office to take
an elevated train for the Grand Central
DEPOT An hour and o half later he was
again at Yonkers. This time he went di.
rectly to the post-office. He had not omitted
the post-office in his former search, but nc
one there had been able to tell him any more
about Donnelly or Donohue than he had been
able to find in his patient search through
the city. In response TO his new inquiries
the postmaster said:
:sLetters occasionally come through the
mail for Donnelly. 1t is a common name,
and none of that name has box here. We
always put such letters in the department
to be called for, and. of course, pay no at
tention to the inquirers who seek for mail"
Mr.. Parker took out the second letter, IN
which Mary Donnelly had said that she had
not told Mrs. Brownlow where to write and
looked at IT again
