COAST Division

SAN Francisco, Nov. 8.-Vice-Presi-
dent G. +. Crocker, of the Southern Pa
cific Company, speaking of the prospects
of beginning work on the coast division
between Santa Margarita and Euwood,
said to-day that the right-of-way docu-
ments presented by the committee of San
Luis Obispo County had been placed in
the hands Of the company's attorneys,
and he was now awaiting a report from
the committee. The Santa Barbara citi-
zens of these committees had thought
when they began year and half ago
the task of securing the right-of way and
depot privileges for the company, accord
ing to agreement with Crocker and Hunt
ington, that they would finish the work
in thirty days, but they have been strug-
Cling with it ever since. Mr.. Crocker be-
lieved, however, that the committee
would soon make report. If after this
it is found that the citizens have fulfilled
their part of the agreement, the company
will order construction to begin, not
waiting for the issue of such suits of con-
demnation of lands as might still be
pending.

Very good, sir. You'll not be turning

Good night, sir, and pleasant awak

With the dawn of the next day came
snow, covering the roof of the new house
and the stone steps Of the entrance and
the vacant avenue. Sergeant Simpson
aroused himself betima, and having filled
a coal scuttle with coal mounted the
stairs to the door of the library, which
communicated with the chamber in
which Harry Trent was to have slept.
The library door was ajar and the SER
geant was surprised to see the light of
the gas within still burning. Had the
master fallen asleep in his chair? He
knocked softly, and then there being no
response he ventured to push open the
door and enter.
The gaslighg falling on the broad ia
BILE that stood near the fireplace cast
shadow over the hearth rug, go that the
sergeant did not at first see what lay
there. He noticed that the last embers
were expiring in the CRATE, but as he
stepped round the corner of the table he
started, and the coal scuttle fell from his
hand with Il crash. Stretched out on the
rug, but in an oddly constrained posi-
ton, lay the form of Harry Trent.
The noise of the falling scuttle did not
rouse him; indeed, the sergeant, with
the practiced eye of soldier, had per-
ceived in moment that he was dead.
But he thought that the man had died
from stroke Of the heart or of apoplexy.
He was not prepared for the further rev.
/ elation, and us he realized it groan of
horror burst from him.
, From the back of the neck, little to
1 the left, protruded the hilt of II knife or
dagger, curiously carved. The rug was
soaked with blood. Harry Trent had
/ not died II natural death, nor had he
! slain himself. He had been murdered.

On the morning of the Trent tragedy,
at about eight o'clock. Olympia Raven
awoke from the sleep of health and inno-
cence and remembered that she had an
appointment at half-past ten.
A half smile of meditative satisfaction
moved her lips and dimpled her cheeks
at the thought. Apparently the appoint
ment was not an unpleasant one. For
that matter, there had thus far been very
few disagreeable experiences in this
young lady's career. Her father had died
before she was old enough to comprehend
the bereavement. For time she and
her mother had been poor, but their
wealthy Cousin Harry had come gener-
ously to their assistance a;li. had placed
them beyond the reach IF poverty.
Olympia had been an attractive child
and she grew up to be a beautiful
girl. Sho had more than usual intelli-
gence; and education lin the conven-
tional sense) was little more than pas
time to her. Their Cousin Harry, who,
having no children of his own, had ideas
as to how children ought to be brought
up, put her in the way of getting sound
training. She was of spiritualistic,
mystical temperament, and possessed
perceptions and susceptibilities unknown
to the generality. But she was of a
wholesome constitution, and had seldom
been in poor health.
She was very fond of Cousin Harry,
and he was so young in his ways and
spirit and entered into her thoughts and
point of view so easily that she regarded
him as companion rather than as a
guardian, and man three or four times
her age. They laughed and chatted to-
gether and went to theaters and balls,
and danced together. Whether she had
ever thought of him as a possible suitor
for her hand is an abstruse question. 1t
is safe to say that, if she did, the idea
was not likely to have been of her own
suggestion. The traditions of their in
timacy were against that. He, however,
may have prepared her mind for the en-
tertainment of it. Men of the world
like Harry Trent know how to manage
women-some women at least-without
soaring or antagoniZing them.
Now, Cousin Harry's birthday fell on
Feb. %, and Olympia, wishing to please
him, had resolved to make him present
of her own portrait. This plan was the
more easily realized, because she had
latterly made the acquaintance of GER
tain Mr.. Keppel Darke, a young portrait
painter, who had delightful studio in
Twenty-third street. Mr.. Darke was
himself delightful, in Olympia's opinion.
He was tall and rather slender, with

An Aluminium Steamboat.

Some novel and interesting expert
ments have recently been made on the
lake of Zurich with a steamboat built
entirely of aluminium, which claims to
be the first of it's kind. The boat weighs
only about half a ton, viz, about half
the weight of an ordinary boat of the
same size. The metal is obtained by
an electrical process, the dynamos be
ing driven, not by steam engines, but
by turbines, which utilize the water
power of the celebrated falls of the
Rhine, SO that the boat claims to be the
product of Swiss labor and power. 1t
carries eight persons, and with a pc
troleum engine of only two-horse pow
er easily makes six miles an hour
Aluminium not being subject to rust,
the permanent color of the boat is a

ney, being of polished aluminium,
shines like silver. The trial trips of the
boat were emphatically successful

FLOWERS FOR THE HOUSE.

FLOWERS in porous pots require more
water than those in hard-burned pots.
IT is not the number of ones plants
but their health and vigor that deter
mines the quantity of winter bloom.
A NORTH window is only suitable for
such plants as need shade and are
grown for their foliage rather than for
blossoms. Ferns, palms and lycopo-
diums do we'll in such place.
RAKE the leaves off the lawn as they
fall and pile in convenient place, pour
over them soap suds and other Stops to
keep them damp, and you will have q
valuable compost for potting purposes.
THE supply of water to plants through
their roots is always moro abundant
when the soil is kept warm; hence,
when plants begin to wilt, mere warm
ing the earth around the roots will
sometimes cause them to revive.
A SOUTHEAST window is the best for
window plants. Keep the glass clean,
SO as to admit oil the light and heat
possible. Vcntilate the room occasion
ally, but avoid cold draughts of air on
the plants.
