Success.

A Grabbed maj answered the
ring at the iron gate after a lapse of
several minutes, stared at the yelled
figure without. first penetratingly and
then without suspicion, and asked, un-
tremendously:
"Who are you-what do you want?"
Beatrice Mercer was an actress. She
had come prepared to feign a part, N
she did Ii well.
All the fire and impetuosity of her
passionate nature was subdued 10 the
seemingly shrinking timidity OF Il shy
young girl.
She stammered out 4 frightened apol-
ogy and chung to the iron gate rs IL
weary and weak.

INJURED, land l must make no mistake.

The servant or helper uttered n sharp
ejaculation Of surprise and renewed
suspicion.
"who told you that Mr.. Caleb Mars

"I-I-does he not? Then I will go,
IL l am In error" and Beatrice retreat

Quick as n flash the man unlocked the
gate, seized her arm, dragged her In
side the overgrown, il-kept garden,
and regarded her much with the angry
glare of an enemy.

pretty face of hers would harden and
grow unconscious. And she would
no more try to relieve the condition
next to her than she would avoid the
impulse now. Good girl. Go on.
Learn nothing and be happy.
There is an interesting Turk at one
of the outside booths by the Cairo
quarter. He is about the medium
height of man, but he seems shorter
because of his exceeding breadth and
the ample mantle that carries the lines
of his shoulders clear down to the
ground. But his chief feature is the
wonderful hat which covers him. That
word covers" is used adyisedly. Tor
the hat is wide Of brim and tall OF
crown, but no living man can tell
where crown ceases and brim begins.
The farthest edge of its circumference
touches his shoulder blades. he Is
hidden completely rs to face until you
get close in front of him.
He knows how to use the ungainly
garment when he has a pretty GUS
toner and wants TO retire with her
for a moment from the rest of the
world. The way in which he can eX-
tend that wonderful brim about her
and bring her face close down TO his is
simply a triumph. And he does ii so
easily, his motions are so graceful, his
manner so winning, that l verify be-
lieve he could gather the elect under
that shadow with him. What he says
when he gets them there is beyond the
power of guessing. But the women al

Electric Signal system for Rail-
roads.

Every agency that can conduce to
the safety of railway travel or traffic
should receive the earnest attention
of railway managers as a duty and bust
ness policy. The object of the present
invention is to provide a system Of rail-
way signals to be operated by passing
trains, either visible or audible, or both,
as may be preferred, and which will
give notice when a train enters a block
or section controlled by the signal, the
signal sounding or remaining set so long
rs the train remains on that block or
section, and the signal station are also
TO be placed on country roads or rail
road crossings to give warming of ap-
preaching trains. Notice Is also given
by the system Of the direction Of the
moving train. This system is designed
to be supplemental or work in con-
junction 10 n known as the .oven sys-
tem,' wherein a telegraphic system is
automatically sent in to the train dis
patcher's office as the train W pest
any of the station comprised in the
system. Secured to the cab OF the en-
CINE is an elevated projecting arm
that is arranged TO be extended later
ally in the range of q depending arm OF
a rock shaft, Journaled in The signal
post, which post is n of a series
placed mt any desired interval apart.
This system is designed to operate audi
BILE signal gongs in addition to light sig
mails. and to thereby indicate also which
way the train is going. This is effected
by the arrangement Of two gongs to
each signal. one being a deep tone and
the other a higher tone, the movement
of the pendent arr Of the signal post
causing In one direction n different
set Of contact plates to be brought into
use from those of the opposite direc.
ton, each gong being operated by a diff.
1erent magnet. Arrangements are afso
provided for cutting out the circuit
automatically after the train has
passed.

and it is very pleasant to sit down at
one of the restful hooks and watch
the procession go by. For the most
part men are all of a kind. But in the
great numbers crowding sluggiShly
along there is always a good number

it open at a greater or less width, de-

Coming down the piaisance one morn

was seated. The young man pushing
her was In better luck than most pro-
pellers are, for the mothers cookbook
ing daughter walked by his side and
held her wide sunshade over him TO
keep him from the heat Of the day.
And whenever she came to a place
where she or he must 90 without the
shadow she cheerfully sacrificed herself
and carried the parasol over him. Her
face was full of the explanation. She
was from some country town Of per-
hapS 5000 inhabitants and was of the
prosperous, sensible sort of family that
has whatever it wants, without regard
to the expense.
Life had never been very far for her,
and her heart was sensitive to the i'm
pressions of discomfort. She knew the
day was hot She knew the young man
was tired. And she simply relieved his
burden as muCn as she could. There
was nothing like selishness, and moth
