Through al her Years OF pain and
trouble she had never f tinted before; but
this was different; ills was the crum-
bling of the idol of lifetime, the very
swapping asunder of ties and affections
that had grown with the years and ripened
with time.

NO, father, | am all right now.
Her manner had changed in an instant,
and, rising, she bee me mistress of the

Presently the clock striking twelve

Six weeks later she rejoiced the hearts

That voice again, and such question;
but who was the great, portly intruder
with his gold ring and studs, and embro-

Lizabeth recoiled from the hand ex-

Mr.. Brown was delighted with com

the kitten in, making no response 10 her
fathers words.
Poor old man, he was losing his mem

from his mind what he had once termed
-Lizabeths sacrifice, and if he remem-
bered Roy Bryon at all he in no way con-

Mechanically she moved about until by
chance she paused in front of the glass
Catching a glimpse of herself, she
Strengthened up and delibe ately scrutin-

what she saw:
A woman long past the bloom of youth

sessing beauty OF their own, looked al
most beseechinGly back into the dewy
ones confronting them
Face and figure wore the impress of
years of toll and priyatiou, and the former
told of something more, of heart hunger
and hope deferred.
And standing thus she recalled another
image, ono reflected BY the self-same
glass on a Thanksgiving Eve just twenty
years ago.

The clock struck eight. For years her

END OF A NOTABLE TRIP.
Tie Pan-American Delegates Arrive at
the Capital in Good Shape.

washington dispatch: just forty two
days after the morning of Oct. 3, when
the special train bearing the international
American excursion party pulled out of
Washington, the same train, headed by
the locomotive which had drawn it nearly
6 900 miles, rolled triumphantly into the
Capital city and drew up at the station,
having successfully completed the most in
teresting and, from railroad standpoint,
the most extensive trip ever undertaken
by one train.
1t was planned that instead of taking
the more direct southern route from
Phila phia to Washington, the train
should run down by way of Harrisburg,
so that the delegates might see the
beautiful Susquehanna valley and the
rich farming lands of ths6 part of Penn
sylvania. The plan was followed, but
unfortunately the country was not seen
at its BEST as the lowering skies and the
heavy, driving rains confined the land
scape within narrow bounds.
The big locomotiws, weighing 50, 900
pounds, drew the entire train over every
foot of the 5, S25 mixes and came to a full
stop in the station ,esh and as power
ful as when it steamed out the morning of

broIer but a record for continuous pro-
gross has been established by the locomo-
tive which is unequaled in railroad history.
IL is the general rule Of railroad manage
ment that no passenger locomotive draw
ing a first-class train shall run greater
distance than 100 or $50 miles without
being changed. Yet this locomotive has
on several occasions covered 300 miles in
good schedule time, and on the run from
Omaha to St Louis it performed the UNI
exceled feat of making Asst miles in
eioh teen hours.
