But thought in his then physical con-
dition was an impossibility. The more
he endeavored to muster ideas into line,
to pursue suggestions and to reach def
mite conclusions. the more elusive did
each and all become The affair was at
deadlock which his wearied brain re-
fused even to strive to break, busying it
self perversely instead with the require
ments of his wearied body. Nature had
been pushed to the point of resistance
and doggedly demanded her rights.
Had the case been that of another
man Royal would have recognized the
futility of his effort at once, but for
himself ne persisted fully half an hour
IN the totally useless experiment of try
ing to force nerve and brain tissue to
work of which for the time they were
incapable, thereby proving that knowl-
edge and experience admit of more ready
application to general than to particular
cases, and also the truth Of the PROPOSE
ton that man has usually one rule for
his neighbor and another for himself
However, he gave it Up at last, forced,
like his betters, to admit that SO long as
spirit shall be incorporate in matter it
must submit to the limitations of mat
ter. He made such temporary explana-
lions TO the ladies under his charge and
such arrangements for their comfort as
would relieve him of anxiety on their
account for the hours necessary to secure
needed rest for himself.

missionary and gone away with him to
some impossible place, where letter

They removed Phyllis to another no
tel, where there would be no chance of
her accidentally acquiring more mowl
edge than they desired for her. She had
been told of the death of the stranger,
and also that he was really knsman
and alone in the world, which sufficient

should decide to remain in Matoacca IN

They followed him alone, those two,
well knowing that if the still heart and

asking, but the name is the same for
both on the register" laying his hand on
the book. They've put the same in
itials, too But that's mistake, reck-
on"
No, Royal explained, there was no
mistake. The names were the same
and they were knsmen, but not broth
ers. He cast his eye on the register, as
he spoke, and read beneath the name of
Mrs. Walter Hart that of Mrs. John
Hart Royal 1t surprised him, for he
had no recollection whatever of having
placed it there. Then he remembered
that in the excitement and hurry of the
arrival he had neglected to register the
ladies at all. It was probable that the
clerk had supplied the omission from
information obtained at the fountain
head.

Royal had about completed his ar

which so much of import had occurred,
when chance remark caused his own
position in this affair of his namesake to
assume proportions and a completely
which well nigh overwhelmed him.
He was standing IN the hotel Office,
near the clerks desk, on which lay the
open register. The young doctor stood
at his elbow, the same to whose hedgiing
care John Royal had been committed.
They had been speaking Of the case and
of its untoward ending, and had gone
into details Of interest and Importance

RAILROAD GOSSIP

The Lehigh Valley railroad company
is pushing its line to Williamsport, and
the people of that enterprising city are
rejoicing. The Lehigh Valley is one of
the most important railroads in the
state and its entrance into Williams
port means an incalculable benefit. 1t
also means another outlet to the West,
for there is no doubt but what the Le-
high intends to go to Pittsburg.
An extraordinary run was made by
Engine 469, of the Wyoming division,
L. Y. R. R., on Saturday last She left
Coxton at 9.55 p. m, with 9palace stock
cars, and arrived at Mauch Chunk at
l2.12 a. m, having made the run of SO
miles in hours and Is minutes. She
left Mauch Chunk at 1927 a. m. and
arrived at Glendon at 1.37 a. M, making
the run of 43 miles in hour and 10
minutes. John Rolfink was the en-
gineer, and-Shafer conductor. To
Mauch Chunk, and Philip Carroll was
pilot and had the throttle from Maueh
Chunk to Glendon. No. 469 is said to be
dandy"
The Rocket, George Stephenson's
first locomotive, weighed Az tons. The
four locomotives recently built by the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Phila-
delphia, for the st. Clair Tunnel Rail
way weigh 81 tons each. This covers
the growth in weight and consequent
hauling power of the locomotive in
sixty-two years. The revolution in the
steam railway business since its first
inception is not all included in the
growth of the locomotive, for bigger
locomotives and heavier trains in
volved soldier roadbeds and heavier
and better rails. Rails, which we're at
first of iron weighing 40 pounds to the
yard, have become steel and have in
creased in weight to 90, 80 and even 100
pounds to the yard. The roadbed,
which at first was clay, in which the
stringers and ties were imbedded, has
become stone ballast thick enough to
not be effected by frost, flood or storm.
Where this increase in the weight and
power of the railway locomotive will
end no one can foresee.

KUTzTowN is not as big as Lehighton
but they have some long headed men
there, as the appended utterance Of
their Chief Burgess testifes:
"One important, yes, in fact the prime
factor in the upbuilding of any place
are the industrial establishments.
For this reason they are entitled to
your special care and consideration. 1
would recommend to you to exempt
from local or borough taxation every
industrial establishment whose capital
is not less than $4,000 and which en-
ploys not less than u hands,"
That town will amount to something,
and so will Lehighton if it adopts the
same enterprising course.

THE CARBON ADVOCATE.

TIE CARBON ADVOCATE appears in a
new dress with this issue, due to the
appreciation of an intelligent public
that has readily placed the ADVOCATE
at the top most round of Carbon county
journalism. For years the ADVOCATE
was the only"all at home printed" paper
In the Lehigh Valley, and our signal
success has led others to copy after us.
Though all, the public has been with
us, and to show our sincere apprecia'
ton for their favors we have from time
TO time made improvements in our
newspaper plant whereby we are en-
abled to give our now more than TH1R-
TEEN HUNDRED BONA FIDE SUBSCRIBERS
the best local news in the most breezy,
spicy and original style at the low price
of one dollar a year, which makes us
the cheapest weekly newspaper in the
county. Our readers will pardon us
for these personal illusions, they are
made at this time not in spirit of
vanity, but with feelings of pleasure,
realizing as we do that our success is
due entirely to legitimate business
principles and an effort to always meet
the wants of the public in first-class,
thoroughly clean and readable news
paper. AS we have been in the past,
% we will continue to be in the future
free from party, ring or clique dom
ination, and our expressions never
measured by the size of public 'pap"-
and as such we continue to solicit the
patronage of the people of the county.

WHO SHALL INVESTIGATES THE IN
VEsTIGAToRss

Rauch, of the Democrat, makes a
pretty picture for a political reformer.
Having sucked at the political teat for
a half century, and nurtured on politi-
cal pap since his late advent into this
county, he now shows how very small
his calibre really is by questioning the
motives of officials who have had the
courage to cut loose from him and what
he has to do with. Fortunately the
people know Rauch and his greedy ap-
petite, and take but little stock in his
uttersnces.
We append the following figures from
the statements of the County finances
as published in the years given, from
which it will be seen that Rauch has all
through obtained the "bunch of the
pap" Now, it is being more equally
divided, he yells for an Investigation

It will be seen from the above tables
that Rauch has in every case received
the lions share Of the county patron

among the different printers of the
