AMUSEMENT NOTES.

There is a scene in Katie Emmett's play,
"The Waits of New York" showing two
trains crossing the Harlem railroad bridge in
opposite directions, while the two Waits are
shown hanging from the trestle work of the
bridge underneath. 1t is one of the most
thrilling and realistic scenes ever witnessed
upon any stage. "The Waits of New York"
will be produced in Ferguson's theatre
this evening
MODEL MINsTRELs.
The street parade of the Sweeney, Alvido,
Gormon g. Goetze's Model Minstrels yester-
day was by far the finest exhibition of the
kind that has been seen on our streets in
recent years. The band is an excellent one,
and its concerts attracts large crowds. The
performance last evening was first class and
the large audience present was delighted
from the raising Of the curtain to the end.
The Models are gentlemen, and deserve well
at the hands of the public Greens5urg, nd,
Repieio. The Model Minstrels win appear at
Fergusons theatre tomorrow evening.

ELECTRIC SPARKS.
Progress on the Schuylkill Traction
Company's Lines.

Progress on the Scnuylklu
Company's Lines.
Hereafter four cars, instead Of three, will
be run continually between Shenandoah and
Girardville. In order to keep the cars run
ming more regular on this branch and reduce
the running time by having more close
connections at turnouis the company will
make several changes along the line. The
turnout at the KohinoOr dirt bank is to be
abandoned and one is 10 be placed near the
fan house on Glovers Hill for use in its
stead. The turnout at Lost Creek will also
be abandoned and new one will be made at
Clcary's crossing. These changes will lower
the running time through the valley con-
siderably and shorten the waiting time at
each end.
County Detective Amour, who is also
special officer for the Traction Company, has
been handsomely uniformed. The suit is
made of the finest navy blue cloth orna-
mented with handsomely designed brass
buttons bearing the company's monogram.
The railway is now carrying an average Of
1000 passengers per week.
The Mahanoy City branch of the railway
is doing splendid one-car business. The
car that runs from the eastern limits of the
borough to the foundry carries from 1,100 to
1 400 passengers daily.
E. w. Amour is doing the wiring of the
MahanOy branch and the work has been
completed as far as the Gilberton station.
Within few days the company will begin
running cars through GilbertOn to Mahanoy
City. Transfers will be made until the
crossing can be put in at the foundry. This
crossing was ordered some time ago and has
been on the road for several days, but for
some unexplained reason the company has
not received it,
Disturbances on the companys cars are
very rare now Vigilance and speedy and
determined prosecutions of offenders have
demonstrated that the cars are not saloons or
such is too expensive for the average tough.
There can be no doubt of the Schuylkill
| Traction Company's lines ultimately ranking
among the most valuable and best paying in
the country when it is considered that in
this severe winter season, although the cars
are not yet heated, the Shenandoah branch
is carrying an average of 1000 passengers
per week which means, at five cents per
head, $3.50 per week, or $2s, 800 per year.

CHAPTER XIX.-CoNTINUED.
"Twenty-one years, is it not2" Harry
asked.
81 think so, sir, Well, they had their
own way in everything Ambrose left
his home heart-brolSen, the old earl
passed q miserable, spiritless ex.
istence, his only solace his little baby
boy, George, for whom he conceived an
inordinate affection. Thus two years
passed very miserably for all parties.
You need not ask how / became IA
miliar with these things, for shall not
tell you, SIR"
"Iti immaterial," Harry replied. DO
continue your narrative"
swell, sir, at last little George took
sick, and my lord was raclSed with anx-
iety. | never saw man take on so in
all my life. He would not be COM
forted But forgot to tell you that my
lady took the most unnatural dislike
to her child, for even a tiger loves its
offspring-but suppose that was be-
cause her husband loved it so. Little
George grew worse till the crisis was
reached, when he gradually recovered,
but with the loss Of his sight. Just
three months after the little suf-
ferer had got about again, there was a
terrible scene between the earl and my
lady, which ended in Bladon, my lords

to tell me that the young master must
marry Miss Kate well, her is as likely
lass as e'er another, an I've nowt to
say"
IT was not about to tell you any
such good news. Now, Bladon, were
you ever in the service of Lord Airing
ton, of Wellington hall, DerbyshireP"
"Ehl Good Lord, what makes thee
ask, sir?"
Then Mr.. Hardcastle read Harry Eve
sham's letter from beginning to end.
The old servant never spoke during the
recital of the strange story. When 1t
was finished his feelings broke forth:
'It is the hand of the Almighty. And
my dead master, innocent after all Of
the charge they made against himl Aye,
sir, George Arundel is the Earl of Ar
lington."
"But can you prove IL, man?"
Eyes, his father left in my hands all
his papers and testimonies"
"Then, ho for England and restitu-

Wauda's rights! The phrase startled
the old servant like an electric shock.
"Iwas thinking 80 much o. the young
lord that had forgot the lady. Sothat
sweet maid is my masters own flesh
and blood. Bless her pretty face, al
ways loved her like my'own child"
"Why, you amazing old hypocrite, you
have been plotting and planning against
her for the last two years." Mr.. Hard
castle burst forth in righteous indigna-
ton.
NAY, there thoust wrong. feared
the lass, but always loved her II ]
hadna thought the world of her, think
thee | should have stood quietly aside
an seen Master George give her ten
thousand dollars?"
what, that money came from him?"
"Aye, sure il did. | found it out,
though he did contrive TO keep II so
close, but his banlS-book leaked the Sc
cret."
"Well, this is indeed day Of revela-
tions," Mr.. llardcastle declared.
Though, as suppose she really is his
sister, 1t is perhaps as well the money
came from him."
"And Hayter? We shall drop hard
on Hayter, Mr.. Hardcastle?'
"We1l try" was the grim reply.
Then Mr.. Hardcastle enjoyed the de-
lightful satisfaction of revealing TO the
other actors in this little drama the
startling developments of Harry'sletter.
George Arundel was the least discom-
posed. He had so long felt that his
father had moved In another sphere ot
life that he was somewhat prepared for
the disclosure, Kate heard the news
with sad and sinking heart, for the ties
Of this new position would take the
friend she loved so far away. And as
for Wanda, she vowed she would never
give up America and Mrs. Evesham tc
be made queen, much less countess,
while every nerve Of her little body
thrilled with gratitude 10 think that
she could now in sober truth call hel
darling George her brother,

soon as Georges health permitted ths

half killing him"
"Served him right, should say" COM
mented Harry. with hearty approval
Of Williams prowess.
$50 we all thought, though it was as
much as our places were worth to say so.
Well, after this you may be sure that
Lord Arlington could not remain in Eng
land, for his vindictive wife swore that
she would cause his immediate arrest
don't believe she ever meant TO go to
such extremities, but simply thought to
frighten him, but he took her threats in
earnest and fed, carrying his darling
boy with him and accompanied by his
faithful retainer, William Bladon.
"And Wanda"
"You shall hear. OF course my lady
was mum as a mouse as to the true
state of affairs and all the county called
at the hall TO express their sympathy,
even those who had held aloof before
on account OF my lady's origin, but pub
licity did not suit her book and she de-
clined TO receive anyone"
"Playing the role Of wifely martyr,
SUPPOSE" -.
Eyes, sir Now Just four months
after the earl's departure, Wanda was
born. Then, see what happened. VIII
you believe II. SIR, but that woman
hated that poor little child with an aver
sion that was sickening-aye, loathed
1t from the very hour Of its birth2"
"What wretchl" Harry burst forth
In honest indignation.
"You may well say so, sir; for her
conduct towards II became so brutal
that even Hayter interfered, and can
assure you, sir, that he Is not one TO
evince sympathy for the suffering Of
another"
"Did his remonstance do any good,
Mrs. Horner3"

"Whoever told you that, Mr.. Eves-
ham?" the landlady asked in surprise.
"Wanda--our Wanda across the ocean

Horner-for the old house and yourself
were the only objects Of her carly life
that clung TO her remembrance g

Then George Arundel spoke in low,
soft, satisfied tone, and all leaned for
ward to hear his words.
SNOW, which is Kate2"
Oh, how the girls heart throbbed!
Not for Wanda, but for Kate he asked!
And suddenly there stood before him
the weeping girl, looking, even in the
agony of the moment, radiantly beauti-
full. rs
sand Wanda = Sister Wandal" he
cried.
They made striking group-the
young man, his face illuminated with
ecstatic Joy, the maidens standing bend
ing over him, their hands clasping his.
But DR.. jacobson put an end to these
transports and after Arundel had been
allowed few words of congratulations
from Mrs. Evesham, Mr.. Hardcastle and
Bladon, the sick-room was cleared OF
visitors and George Arundel was left to
the repose his overstrung nerves SO
sorely needed.
Now, it was just five days after this
memorable event that Mr.. Hardcastle
received from Harry Evesham the bulky
letter which conveyed the story OF his
adventures in Derbyshire-the revela-
ton of the mystery which had sur
rounded the birth and parentage OF
Wanda Arlington.
Recovering from the first shock Of
astonishment he at once sent for Blador
to come to his study.
"Sit down." he said, gravely, as the
old servitor entered. ~ have much tc
tell and ask you"
mo occasion, sir" Bladon answered
There was cowed, detected air about
the man which Mr.. Hardcastle haC
never noticed before. 81 know wha

had seated herself, 81 have come TO beg
the favor Of your counsel in matter
which ] am quite incompetent to de-
eide"
"Ah, pray command me-" And sure
ly, Mr.. Hardcastle, there was no need
for you to leave your comfortable arm
chair and assume far less luxurious
one, because it happened to be few
feet nearer to your interesting visitor.
"Well, sir, you see," the lady con-
tinued, ~ have just been having most
extraordinary and unexpected inter
view with George Arundel"
"a pleasant one, am sure"
"Well, ] hardly can tell win you
believe it, the foolish fellow has fallen
in love with my Kate, and wants to
marry her?"
II will very readily believe it" Mr..
Hardcastle responded. "And think
the young gentleman exhibits excel
lent taste. But what does the lady say?"
"Oh, am afraid that she encourages
him in the proposition. But, do you not
see, Mr.. Hardcastle, that this is impos-
sible?"
II don't, indeed"
'What, don't you see that, with this
young mans prospects of becoming the
Earl Of Arlington, such match would
be-"
''Unsuitable? Not bit of it. A
well brought up American girl-the
daughter OF such mother as you-is,
in my opinion, Il match for the proudest
prince in Christendom."
Then you think ! should give my
CONSENT"
"Ifyour daughters happiness is linked
with his ! am sure you should. George
Arundel has in my opinion patent
Of nobility grander than that granted by
any king. He is generous, honorable
and Observation-Disclosures more would you
ask?"
"You plead well for the young peo
pie, Mr.. Hardcastle."
"Yes," he said. "And II could only
plead as well for myself, Esther Eve
sham, should think myself happy
man"
The widow flushed scarlet, but never
helped him with a word.
81 know it is madness for me TO sup
pose at my time of life that coulC
win q woman's love, nor did | evel
think that | should meet woman
whose love | coveted so much as l d.
yours, believe that, If you could for
get my years, and consent to share m.
life, could make yours happy. Yol
see, your daughter will be marrying
this English lord. Harry will be mating
with Wanda, and you and ! will be lef
alone"
"oh, it wouldn't be for that, Mr. Hard
castle, If I-if | said yes-but-" tn
widow stammered.
"But?"
"But, oh, do love you with all m
} heart and soul think you one Of tn
noblest men God ever made"
She was sobbing in his arms, and Al
exander Hardcastle knew that he ha
won tho faithful heart.
And What surprised these two shame
faced lovers, when they confessed th
fact, was that no one was one bit a
: tonishSl, but rendered their loving col
gratusatiens as though 1t was quite a
} everyday occurrence for a groom
sixty-one TO lead to the altar bride {

AT BRooKLYN.-HoPE FULFILLED.
Had the art of the healer failed him,
Or would George Arundel have restored
10 him the blessed privilege Of vision?
II was day of fearful interest TO the
occupants Of the Brooklyn mansion
the day on which DR.. jacobson had re-
solved TO test tho efficacy Of his treat
ment. Since the hour of the operation
the patient-how nobly the term fitted
him, for never n word Of plant had
passed his lips--had remained in =
darlened room seven long days and
nights, and now the bandages were TO
be removed and curtain drawn aside
to admit few precious rays Of light.
They were all there, .breathlessly ex-
pcctant. Even DR.. Jacobson's hand
trembled as he united the linen wrap
pings. As.for the women, their hearts
stood still with deep emotion.
Then the shapely head was lifted, a
slight, amazed expression fitted across
the noble features and George Arundel
murmured, in tone Of ecstacy that
thrilled the listeners;
"Oh, God seel'
And he alone could speak. Then the
torrent of pent-up emotions broke
forth in smiles and sighs and tears, and
Mr.. Hsrdcastle, In the abandon OF his
Joy, and, let us hope, in the pardonable
forgetfulncss OF the moment, put his
arm around Mrs. Evesham's waist and
absolutely kissed her, proceeding
which nonc-not even the widow
seemed to think out Of place.
"You must not excite him." DR.. Jacob.
son said, reproachfully. whereupon ali
were st.ll rs statues.
