The ''up" train was expected mGmeutar-
fly at the little junction at Galesford, from
whence line branched off to some villages
and the county town.
A couple of commercial travellers, whose
large neatly strapped cases were pill ed on
hand truck, stood at one end of the plat
form, in conversation of an amusing de-
scription, for they laughed loud and fire.
quently.
A gentleman, covered from head to foot
In large dark ulster, walked to and fro
smoking cigar, and peering sharply into
the thick mist which hid the line up to a
few yards beyond the station.
The loose wrap he wore did not conceal
his air of distinction. The eyes that
watched so eagerly for the train, were light
steely blue, his coloring was sunburned
brown, somewhat too dark for his hair and
mustache.
Five minutes behind time" he said,
glancing at the clock over the door of the
booking-office, and addressing one of the
two porters who were waiting about.
''It often is, sir! You see they have Of
ten to wait at Brenton for the AltOnbor-
ough passengers. It's express after this. :"
Look after my luggage. 1t is in the

claimed Captain Lisle, throwing away his
cigar as the engine rushed screaming out
of the dim distance, and approaching the
edge of the platform he peered sharply in
to the carriages.
In first-class compartment young
lady sat alone. Lisle proceeded to open
the door

guard "This is a ladies' carriage-there's
plenty of room in the next"
"All right! know the lady; she will

company. VIII you not!' raising his deer
stalker's cap.
"Oh, Captain Lisler' she exclaimed, with
a swift blush. Yes! of course"
Don't cram in any women or babies"
said Lisle aside quickly to the guard,
pressing some coin of the realm into his
hand.

A shrill whistle, and they were of.

LOWER TARIFF ON GRAIN.

Germany to Make Further Concessions to
This Country-A Modified Schedule on
Grain and Provisions Produced In tho
United Stated to BE Issued in Berlin.
WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Germany is
going to follow its removal of the en-
barge on American pork by making
tariff concessions on grains and pro-
visions from the United States. The
German government is not ready to adj
init this fact officially because the de-
tails have not been agreed
on, but in the near future a
proclamation may be looked for
from Berlin giving modified tariff
schedule on this class of importations
from the United States. The plan is to
give this country the same concessions
that are given Russia under the favored
nation clause Of its treaty with Ger
many. Russia is selected because of its
recent order prohibiting the expectation
of rye, which cut off an important
source of Germany's food supply. The
German legation has been making in
quries recently at Chicago and other
grain centers as to what the United
States could do in making good the
sending Germany 29.OO0,0O0 to 30,-
100000 bushels; now it wants
50,00O,0OO bushels. Secretary Rusk
has had pet notion that if
the Europeans understood fully the
nutritious quality of the Indian corn
or maize grown in the United States
they would draw largely on it to
make up for the frequent failure of
their wheat crop. So the attention of
the German government was turned to
corn as well as to rye and wheat.
All these matters were dis
cussed in the negotiations for
the removal of the pork en-
barge, and the suggestion that the
kaiser's subjects would be pleased to
get American grain on more favorable
terms was well received, especially as
a large element in the empire was
clamoring for it. The outcome was the
arrangement which is soon to be pro-
claimed at Berlin.

remain, and kept him more than an
hour, until, indeed, messenger entered

visitors who journeyed to the beach
Saturday to watch the unusually heavy
sea were treated to sight rarely wit
messed near shore. About o'clock the
wind was blowing furiously from the
northeast. Suddenly the sea, at n
spot near the shore, was unusually
agitated, and as the eyes of all We're
directed to the spot huge water
spout formed and began moving sea-
ward in a southeasterly direction. The
volume of water was balloon-shaped
and was fully 800 feet high. There
was no vessel in its track, but Tyler
Emmons, a fisherman, narrow
ly escaped being caught by
the mountain of water. He saw
it approaching and pulled his
boat out of the way of the swirling
column, which passed within 100 yards
of him. The waterspout left in it's
wake broad track of foaming water
and the incoming breakers rolled
mountain high for half an hour after
the spout disappeared.
