Heart Failure Carries on j. A. Bostwick
During Disastrous Fire.
MARAoNECK, N. Y, Aug. ia fire
broke out shortly after midnight in the
handsome stables of John A. Bostwick, of
the Standard Oil Company, at his summer
residence on Oriental Point, overlooking
Long Island Sound. The fire departments
of the surrounding villages hurried to the
scene. When they arrived, however, the
Bostwick stables had not only been Quilted
but the flames had communicated to the
stables of Mr.. Constable, of New York.
After the fire had burned out it was learned
that Mr. Bostwick's coachman and footman
were missing. An examination of the
ruins was made as soon rs possible and
their charred bodies were found among the
debris Soon after the fire broke out Mr.
Bostwick hurried out on the piazza, labor
ing under great excitement. He had been
in ill health for some time, and when he
saw his stables on fire he suddenly fell
backwa and became unconscious He died
before medical aid could reach him. Death
is supposed to have been caused by heart
failure produced by undue excitement.
Eight valuable carriage horses and a num-
ber OF carriages and carts were destroyed
The stables were completely gutted and
nothing of the contents was saved. The
loss is estimated at $50, ,000 The Constable
stables were also destroyed, together with
the contents, including several horses and
handsome turnouts and harness.

eff you take the case of man with three
grown daughters and son and wife, which
is not uncommon, constituting family of
six persons, and bring him to a hotel where
the minimum charge is S. day, that man

"When his children were little, they were
ready to 60 to modest places; when the girls
grow up they want to 60 to fashionable
hotels. The father. anticipating that time
of growth, builds his country house, and
then his children can invite their beaus to
come on Saturdays, and now and then to

THE ROYAL BLUE LINE.


What an Eminent RsiIroader ! Thinks of It.
Those who have used the Royal Blue Line
between Philadelphia and New York well
know that that line Is deservedly accredited
with being the finest piece of railroad in the
country; that its coaches are the most mag
nifcent, and that its trains run more smooth
ly and are the fastest in the world. TO
those, however, who have never used the
ROYAL Blue Line, the following abstracs
from letter written by an eminent railroad
authority to O gentleman connected with
the Reading Railroad System will doubtless
prove interesting. After the usual formal
greeting the letter reads: 81 have Juss
taken my first ride on the Reading, having
come over from New York this morning on
your lI3O A. II. Royal Blue Line train, anu
cannot refrain from congratulatins you ou
being connected with so superb q rallroau.

and the train ran as smoothly as tnougn nos

It has always been the aim OF the present
Reading management to provide tne very
best for its patrons and the service ON tno

success in that direction. That the 1lscrim-
ina Ting public appreciate these enorts ~

ness on that line.

CHAPTER I.

My boat is lying motionless in shady
nook, and 1 am looking down dreamily into
the stream. Scarcely cloud crosses the
blue depth of sky, and the reflected SUM-
light finds its way between the shadow of
branches and clusters of leaves. 1t is an
ideal landscape-a landscape trembling in
liquid light end shade. / am still looking
downward into this sunlit, leaty scene, and
living more within to than in the material
world around me, when 1 became conscious
of maiden eyes gazing up laughingly into
mine. Never was lovelier face mirrored in
natures looking glass. The eyes are large
aud dark, with liquid light of their own
beaming between the black, quivering
lsshes, the full lips are half-parted with in
quisitive surprise, and round the oval face
there is halo of reddish-brown hair re-
sembling the autumn foliage in its russet
tint.
The face is gone A slight movement of
my boat has blurred my watery mirror; and
there is nothing more to be seen down there.
So return to earth. / glance up at the
high bank under which my boat is moored,
where the pendant branches almost meet
overhead. i look around me with the faint
hope that the face is not a disembodied
.hadow-a mere Creation of q poetic
fancy" The landscape, which had seen
repeated in the river, is visible in all its
actusl beauty, with the sunlight breaking
in between the leaves. But no laughing
eyes now meet mine.

her. 1t had been "put back" as she e1-
pressed it, q dozen times and was nearly
spoiled. Nor did matters improve when
she discovered that 1 ha6 lost my appetite

talkative, or, more strictly speaking, to
tolerate her talk. She naturally concluded
that her cooking was at fault FASTENED

tracted promise that should I ever happen
to be in the neighborhood of Wakering I
would pay him q visit. His name, even
the name of the village, had almost en-
tirely escaped my memory. Ten years in
the midst of busy professional life in Lon
don will force man to forget everything
except his immediate surroundings.
The twilight is nearly gone; the last rays
die out as the clouds raise and cover the
sky. The day is over, and when 1 gain the
high road, dark and lonely with its steep
hills on either side, it is night. At q turn
me, observe broad streak of light stretch
ing across the highway. On the hillside,
at the point from which the light appears
to issue, blush transparent flames rise like
lambent tongues of fire toward the dark
sky. As approach nearer and come within
the space of light, I find that it proceeds
