On the other side of the passage was the
bed room of the young ladies of the house.
The doors Of the two rooms were opposite
each other. My wife and the two girls
were sitting in the latter's room, and the
doors of both rooms were open.
Such is the simple summary of the tale.
Ii you have got it clear in your mind. you
are ready to hear what happened.
As l sat reading, heard light step and
the rustic of dress descending the stairs.

stairs, she paused an instant, and spoke.
What she said could not distinguish, but [

saw, and sure enough the next moment,
Lilly came into the room.
She came in, humming to herself, and
evidently supposing the room to be empty.
She had got to the middle of the floor be-
fore she caught sight of me in the window
seat. She gave slight, startled exclama-
ton and stopped, staring at me.
1t is natural to be startled, when you sud
denly find you are not alone. But why this
tixedness of gaze and dilatation of the
eyes, Surely, Lilly was familiar enough
with my outward aspect not to be amazed

tons. The ordinary passenger or day coach
will weigh about ten tons. Handicapped
by the weight in cars Ithinkwe make even
better time than the English railways
where the average speed is fifty miles an
hour. Now an American train like the
Western limited, will weigh with six sleep
ers, baggage cars and the usual number of
coaches, fully 400 tons. A similar train to
accommodate the same number of passen-
gers on an English road will weigh not
more than $50 tons. So the future speed
of our trains must depend after, of course,
the road bed is in tirst-class condition, al
most entirely on the weight of our trains.
What we must do is reduce the weight of
our cars and at the same time retain their
strength"
"What inventions have been made in this
line?"
There have been quite number sug-
gested. The steel car is perhaps the most
important of these, and l would not be in
the least surprised to see the steel passenger
and sleeping cars run on our fast lines in
America in few years. Mr.. Buchanan,
the superintendent of motive power, has
in mind steel car, which is shaped like a
cigar
BY building your car cigar shaped and of
steel you get the reduction in weight and
the benefit in speed that is sure to follow a
reduction of the resistance Of atmosphere.

Shall We Move On?

Metropolitan features keep coming
to Marshall. The spacious Office of
the Hotel Atlantic has been made the
regular commercial Office of the West
ern Union telegraph Office. A neat Of
flee has been fitted up in the southeast
corner of the room, and six wires run
in. Two Western Union mechanics
were at work several days, and the
new Office began business Tuesday
noon. No commercial business is tax
en- ct the railroad stations.-News-
Messenger.
Such items as these make us wonder
if Redwood Falls is not tagging in the
procession, and needs to "get a wiggle
on" to use the language of the world
ly. The News-Messenger is prodding
up its enterprising constituency to
take up water works next, and not be
content with the temporary arrange
ment which certain conservative citi-
zens are proposing as cheap substi-
tute for water works here. AS the
News Messenger puts it, Marshall
already has the roaring, raging Red
wood river forming a horseshoe bend
within the village, a railroad we'll that
has for years furnished all the Peter
road engines, cistern 26x8O feet deep,
8 feet deep, and numerous private fire
tanks, all accessible to our splendid
steam fire engine, and capable of
drowning small burgs like Minneota
without showing ripple where they
went down. But now we want a reg
ular camp meeting water service to go
with our electric lights, court house,
mammoth business blocks, school
houses, churches and incoming manu-
featuring industries. Bless you, can t
you see the difference between the
three and four minute classes7'' Which
moves us to further inquire, shall Red
wood Falls allow Marshall to pass her
in the race in regard to water works as
we'll as some other things, or shall we
take the lead for once, and enter our
splendid little city in the three-minute
class7
