CHAPTER x.
wANDA'S FIRST OFFER


How glad George Arundel was to
meet her. and she gave him both her
hands, while her face beamed with JOY
to welcome him. There was no fear of
this generous friend annoying her by
pleading his suit, though she knew that
he loved her very dearly. Women like
to be loved. I would not give fig for
the woman who docs not, and who can
not spare little bit of tenderness for
the man whose devotion plcases her,
and yet be loyal to him who is king of
her affections.
So Wanda Arlington cxerted her best
efforts to make it pleasant for her blind
friend, who was in a seventh heaven of
delight. She had such tact, too, as AL
phonse Da1niens noticed with glowing
eyes George Arunders wishes were
anticipated before he could express
them. She fitted round his chair with
n tender solicitude which was madden.
ing to the young Frenchman, and alto
gether conducted herself in such a way
that hell of jealousy was raging in
his heart, though pleasant words tripped
from his smiling lips.
Outside a storm was gathering. The
wind came bowling up the river with a
roar that deafened one and dashed the
slect in fierce furries against the win

Africans Who Want to Read.

When we remember that only ten
years ago the people of Uganda and
Victoria Nyanza were almost unknown
to the world, it is surprising to read
that the missionaries there recently
sold in few weeks four thousand
reading sheets printed in the native
language. They send word that they
could sell ten thousand copies at once
if they had them. They say the people
are most anxious to acquire the art of
reading, and that their eagerness for
books is astonishing. "As long as we
had reading sheet or book left, "
says one, "a crowd swarmed around
us day and night, and hundreds were
disappointed when the supply gave

German Compulsory Insurance.

A German law of compulsory insur-
ance on wage-earners has been in oper-
alton for six months, with results that
are not regarded satisfactory. The
pensions provided for by the measure
are not over fifty dollars year, and in
order to obtain them the pensioner
must show that he paid insurance rates
for thirty years at least. The old age
pension does not begin before a man is
seventy, and, as comparatively few
laborers reach that age, the investment
seems doubtful. If a man has been
working for twenty-eight years and set
up in business for himself he forfeits his
contributions and all rights to pen
sion. There is a great deal of public
veXation toward the law.

Slowly and fcarfully the words drop

away, but he only clings the harder.

Then she speaks. Slowly, heavily
she lifts her eyes to his and looks at

solemn truthfulness in them. 81 am

She sees him culver under the blow

that the mans humble words but

He had recovered the first blow of his
disappointment and was now himselt

He give her up! Not he, indeed. What

he did not blame her for it, only
would be all the worse for them.
So he said once more with all humil

Arlington. 1 am as you see rough
uncouth fellow, and you may humanizt
me-"
81 am very sorry for you," Wand;

The words escaped her lips withou

too late.

asked, with well-feigned detection.

''This is not the first time l have been
out under his protection, and can bear
testimony that no one could be more
considerable and careful than he is. If
harm comes to US tonight, rest satisfied
It will be through no fault of his"
'Pshaw!" Damiens sneered with
laugh, which showed every one of his
white, cleaning teeth-teeth for which
a duke would have bartered his coronet
-"what precious fuss you people are
making tonight over handful of snow
and a cupful of wind. One would think
that Mr.. Arundel and myself were
made of maple-sugar to hear you talk.
Make up your mind, Miss Arlington, to
forget the storm; for, if you will fortify
us with a cup Of Dolman's old cider
hot, with a roasted crab in it will
undertake to land your friend safe and

None but Dolman saw the threatening
glance of the Frenchman's eye as he
uttered these words.
Don't you think I'm capable of hand
ling the bashaws, Dolman?' Damiens
asked fercely. "P'raps you'd like to
send one of the 'gyurls' to take care
of us?''
While Damiens and Dolman fetched
the horses round to the door, Wanda,
with her own fair hands, was engaged
in muffling up George Arundel for his
midnight ride.
''It is bitterly cold outside" she said,
with shudder. 81 wish 1 could per-
suade you and Mr.. Damiens to stay all

''And brighten poor old Bladon out of
his wits? Why, he would arouse the
whole city with his lamentations if

demonstrated, with light laugh.
''Then, good-by, which, 1 believe,
means God be with you!" Wanda said,
little solen,0ly.

got into his place.
Are you ready, 'Phonse?" asked
Dolman, wrestling with the bits of the
fiery animals.

And with bound which lifted the

dashed at headlong speed down the

People generally do not under
stand to what gigantic proportions
the railroads and the railroad BUSH
ness of this country have attained,
and very few people have any idea
of how much railways earn. Poor's
Manuel, the only complete work on
railway statistics published in Amer
ca, says the capital actually inves
ted in railroads IN the United States
measured by the share capital ard
the debts, founded aud unfounded,
amounts to $40. 122, 639, 900, or
nearly double what it was in 1880.
The increase of mileage last year
was 5,49S, bringing the total mp to
166,817 miles, or enough to 60
more than six times around the
globe. The Manuel also shows that
the cost or roads is increasing, it
being $5S,274 per mile in 1889, and
$50, 63S in 1890. But the most in
teresting showing is that in relation
to earnings and expenses. The
popular impression is that railway
property is about The most valuable
that one can have. The holders of
railway shares are presumably rich,
and 1t is assumed that they make
enormous profits by heartlessly OPP
pressing the helpless public which
is forced TO patronize the suolless
corporations. Poor's Manuel de-
monstrates that the gross earnings
Of American railways amount to
less than IL per cent. on the mo-
ney invested, while the net earnings
are less than 81 per cent. Many
roads are operated at loss and
taking them all the capitalist would
do much better TO put his money
into the savings bank than invest
in railway stocks. 1t would thus
seem that if some roads are ex,or
tionate, robbing the public, the
public more than "evens up" by
depressing other lines.
The passengers carried last year
numbered $40, 439, OS2, aud they
paid for riding $273, 1864, 1879; while
for carrying 70l, 344, 437 tons of
freight the roads received $40, 374,
S44, or little more than 81 ton.
When one studies these figures he
is disposed to recall all the harsh
things be has said about railroads,
except as to those roads which he
patronizes, which, nothing will in-
duce him to admit are just or rea-
sonabIe IN their charges.
