CHAPTER v.
OLIVES WELCOME


The journey seemed tedious and long
to Olive, sitting in the corner of the
third-class carriage with her basket Of
flowers in her lap. AS the train drew
near London she was seized with in-
ward quaking and misgivings, and
looked down upon the flowers as if they
could give her comfort. But the breath
Of the hyac.nths was sadly sweet, and
reminded her of that grave on which
she had laid her Easter wreath. Was
t a gloomy omen that q thought OF
death should come to her, just as she
was entering rew path in life?
And then she recalled her last walk
with Michael, on that April Sunday
evening that seemed so long ago. His
earnest voice sounded in her ears once
more; his eyes looked into hers with
passionate tenderness; the memory was
so sweet that it made her heart throb
fast and flushed her cheek. She was
going to be with him again going to
find the present richer in happiness
than the past; what could there be to
fear? Olive was too young and too ig-

fresh April lights and delicate shadows
fall tenderly on the gray stones and
grass. The sun was just going down
when Olive stood by Lucy's grave; it
was calm sunset, clear and golden; a.
soft wind scented with violets blew
cold and sweet from the west.
Standing there, and looking down
upon the mound, she felt that she had
never loved her friend better than she
did at this moment, and yet she shed no
tears. Death is not always disunion;
there is parting which seems to leave
us with a deeper, more intimate knowl-
edge of the one who has gone before.
There are certain questions which are
answered, or answer themselves, in
silence and absence. Much of Lucy's
history, now unknown to her. was yet
to be revealed, but the influence OF
their long companionship was still
living influence in Olives mind, and it
was teaching her many things.
A great American writer has finely
said that there are but two biographers
who can tell the story Of a mans or a
woman's life. "One is the person him
self or herself, the other is the record
ing angel The autobiographer cannot
be trusted to tell the whole truth, al
though he may tell nothing but the
truth; and the recording angel never
let's his book go out of his own hands"
But Lucy had written her autobio-
graphy on the 'sfeshly tables" OF
warm young heart, and had bequeathed,
as it were, her own personality to the
girl she had loved so well. And this
had been done, without saying many

Accident in Depot.

CHICAGO, July 26. "A large crowC
of colored people assembled at the
Grand Central depot yesterday
morning, bound for picnic at Col
umbia park. The platforms of the
depot were jammed, when Il switch
engine pulled in on the west track,
having In tow the Baltimore and
Ohio passenger train. People on
the platform say the engine was run
ming twelve miles an hour. AS it
approached the end of the track,
which terminated in front of the
platform, e igineer Williams appli-
ed the air brakes to stop, but for
some reason they had no effect. He
reversed the engine, and tried to
stop, but the momentum of the
heavy train behind him carried him
ahead. The train crashed through
the bumper and into the platform,
down a number of people.
Great confusion ensued, and some
colored men wanted to lynch En-
gineer Williams, but the police res
cued him. Nearly twenty people
were more or less seriously hurt, land
two of them, Mrs. Dina Carr and
Henry Young, will likely die. En-
gineer Williams asserts that he was
only running six miles an hour.and
says some one must have tampered
with the valves of the air brakes.

w. Fl. Preece, who is well known
in England as the electrician in
charge Of the governmental postal
telegraph service in writing on the
retardation due to iron pipes, COM
ments on the tendency of engineers
to put wires in iron pipes under
ground to secure safety from wind
and snow. This is done at the ex-
pense of effectiveness, and long lines
of iron piping will probably be death
to fast speed telegraphy. Of course
In telephony iron piping is seriously
detrimental to single wire working,
but then no one would now dream
of using any but the metallic circuit
system in any underground work.
But Mr.. Preece offers for the seri-
GUS consideration of electrical en-
gineers another point. He says:
May not wood or earthenware or
cement replace iron as a conduit for
electrical conductors, and be made
equally effective for the mechanical
and economical point of view9 There
is no doubt that this question will
presently be answered by the produc-
ton of conduit that will entirely
supersede the iron pipe, which now
is the nearest appliance to the hand
of the engineer. New York Tele-

Each Prisoner Eight Meals

Dies MONIES, Ia, July 26.-Jailer
Richard, of Des Moines, is to be in.
vestigated by the city council. AL
derman Vertres from the committee
on claims has reported against the
approval of the report presented 10y
him for the month OF June for feed
ing prisoners. 1t seems that the
oils for this service have been stead
lily increasing until the committee
could no longer close its eyes to the
fact and began an investigation.
The books of the marshaPs office are
not so kept as to furnish complete
check on the jailer, but enough was
discovered to convince the commit
t, } that the jailer had charged the
city for about eight meals day for
each prisoner confined during the
month of June. An analysis of the
charges for the month shows regular
overcharges. For instance, on June
10th there were eight prisoners in
the Jail. If each had three meals,
which is not probable, the jailer
would have been entitled to pay for
twenty-four meals. He charged for
l25. Gu the 23d there were three
prisoners, entitled to nine meals.
The city was charged with ninety
seven. According to the figures OF
Chairman Vetres the total over
charge was for 1895 meals for the
month.

An Amulet of De Soto.

WARRENsBURG, Mo-, July 20
During the meeting of the State
Teachers Association at this place
IN June there was an exhibit of a
most queer medal which is supposed
to be an amulet worn by De Soto
during his exploration of this part
of the country. 1t is of pure silver,
and bears inscription on both sides,
while it also bears the insignia of
the pope aud an image on one side,
also representation of Christ on
the cross between two thieves, while
on the other side the inscription of
a representation of the last supper.
The date is very plain in large bold
letters and figures, and shows that
the amulet was made In l545, or
nearly 500 years ago. The amulet
is the property of Major Tarner,
who purchased it from a jew eler in
the southern part of the state, who
said he got it from negro who had
dug 1t up ON his farm on Turnback
creek. 1t has been examined by
several antiquarians and all agree
that it is genuine, and believe that
1t had been thrown away OH account
of its time expiring, ,as these amulets
were blessed by the pope for GER
tain length Of time, and were given
to those who were about TO travel.

success OF Restaurants at which n
c,,.cLs re Given TO Cus' ,:ners.


snccess OF Restaurants at which Nc
Checks Are Given to Cus 'ners.
In the matter of perez al honor
there is a new and woi lcrful ex.
hibit on the pleasant side. A big
restaurant was opened a little while
ago in the busiest part of lower
Broadway. 1t occupies very deep
store ON the sidewalk level, fitted up
very handsomely with polished
woods and broad mirrors, and it has
an extensive outfit of luncheon coun-
ters and sideboards. 1t is meant for
the accommodation of hasty midday
eaters.
Hot dishes are served in a iiffy,
there is an astonishingly diverse as
sortment of sandwiches at hand and
the prices are as low as those which
rule in the cheap and sloppy sort of
eating houses. The scheme of the
proprietor seems to have been to sup
ply viands of the best quality, with
a luxurious place in which to eat
them, and at the lowest possible rate,
depending upon the largeness of the
business for profit.
But the novelty and wonder Of the
place is the fact that the visitor pays
what he chooses for his luncheon
or, at best, he thinks he does No
check is given to him. After eating
and drinking as much as he likes he
passes toward the exit and there
comes to one of those automatic ma
chimes that impress figures into
card. To the operator of this appar-
atus the customer names the amount
which, by his own figuring. he ought
to pay, being easily guided in his
arithmetic by the conspicuous pla-
carding of prices, as well as by the
printed bill OF fare. Then the en-
ployee turns a crank, gTinds out a
check for the amount and the honor
bound man passes along to the cash
ier's desk and pays.
Of course it is likely that more of
a watch is kept upon the eaters than
they are aware Of, but to all appear
ances the polite walters are utterly
oblivious to anything except serving
the food, and the machine man and
cashier do not betray the slightest
solicitude as to getting what is due.
Probably the shrewd proprietor
that in the great competi-
ton of down town lunchrooms he
needed to do something singular to
his establishment, and so
he hit upon this device of placing
the lunchers upon their honor. The
success seems to be enormous. New
