The Lonely Track Walker.

After nightfail, along the 5000 miles Of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, no matter
how bare the prairie nor how wild or DESC
late the mountain or lake shore, any one
standing on the rear platform can see every
few miles lantern in the hands of a track
walker, who, after the train passes, re-
sumes his duty along the track. 1t is
rule on this road that after the passage of
each train the roadway shall be carefully
inspected, and particularly the bridges, for
fear that some spark from the locomotive
may have set tre to them.
Along hundreds OF miles between Ottawa
and Winnipeg, over the prairies Of Assini-
boia and Alberta, and through the noun
tain ranges far west, the humble nut of
the railroad track repairer or guard is
often the only human habitation that is
seen for long stretches. In the wild region
north Of Lake Superior one sees these log
cabins every few miles. Often ne en-
ployee has family, who live with him in
this almost uninhabited country, practical
ly cut off from human society.
The log cabins are only one story high,
and very low at that There is no sign Of
garden near them, and all supplies are
brought by the trains. Sometimes it is
necessary for the men to travel twenty or
thirty miles to perform task assigned
them, and for these journeys they use the
railroad bicycle contrivance with two
wheels to fit the rails A seat is rugged be-
tween them and Il lever imparts motion to
the small cogwheels, which rapidly turn
the wheels on the track. The men can
easily travel twelve or fifteen miles an
hour on these little machines When they
hear train coming, off they jump, take
their bicycles off the track, and no sooner
has the train passed than they resume their
journey.-New York Sun.

to shake the strongest norye. 1t looks
in manner prosaic on black and white,
but think of the horror of the actual ex-
perience.
For the moment | could formulate no
ideas on the subject. That my friend
should be dead was sufficient to stun
me. When reason came back, / asked
myself how he died and who was re-
sponsible for the crime The landlord,
the maid, the brother one Of these three
had murdered Francis Briarield. But
in what way?
! examined the body. 1t was clothed
in a nightgowu, and the clothes lay
folded up ON the chair by the bedside.
The face was calm; there were no marks
of violence on the throat or on the
frame Only on the violet lips fingered
q slight curl Of foam. The smooth bed
clothes drawn up to the chin forbade the
idea Of 3 struggle. l looked at the right
arm lying OH the counterpane, at the
hand, and there IN the palm was rag
ged wound from thumb to little finger
1t was discolored at the edges and
looked green and unwholesome This
livid appearance made me think of poi
son, but was not sufficiently a doctor
to diagnose the case correctly. Yet l
was certain Of one thing-that Francis
Briarfleld had come by his death in
some foul fashion, and that at the hands
of-whom?
Aye, there was the rubl So far as I
knew, the landlord had no motive to
commit such crime Suspicion pointed
toward the maid who had wished to
speak with the dead man after supper.
Yet why should she desire his death?
From the lips Of Francis himself l had
heard that he knew neither Strent nor
Rose, nor indeed aught of the Fen inn.
Hither he had been brought by his
brothers. letter to keeP an appointment
and was as ignorant Of the inn, Of its
inmates, Of its surroundings as l.
Could Felix have committed this
crime? True, If my theory were correct
and he had passed himself off to Olivia
Bellin as Francis, there were some
grounds for believing he wished his
brother out Of the way. Francis would
undoubtedly refuse to permit the decep-
ton to be carried on, SO it was just pos
sible that Felix, in a frenzy Of wrath
and terror at the idea Of his treaehery
being exposed, might have slain his
brother Yet all this fine theory was
upset by the fact that Felix had not
arrived on tho previous night to keep
the appointment He therefore must be
guiltless.
If so, what Of the landlord and his
daughter? Certainly they had no rea-
son to slay a stranger who had shell

One Of tho most ingenious devices for
smuggling was detected iit Russia not long
ago. A great number Of false bank notes
had been put into circulation within the
domlnlons Of the czGr. They could only
have been imported, and, although the
strictest search was made habitually over
every vessel entering Russian port, no
trace Of the smuggling of false notes was
discovered. Accident, however, at last
brought the mystery to light. Ithappened
that several cases Of lead pencils arrived
one day from England, and while being
examined one of them fell out from a
package, and the custom house officer,
picking it up, cut it to point and used it
to sign the order which delivered up the
pencils to the consignee. He kept the
loose pencil for his own use, and a few
days afterward, because it again needed a
new point, he cut it again and found that
there was no more lead. He cut still far
ther and was surprised to find thin roll of
paper nestled in the hollow place where
the lead was supposed to be. The paper
was one of the false notes, and in this way
they had been smuggled into the country.

Yet their fight looked suspicious If
they were innocent, why did they leave
the inn?
Another question pregnant with mean
ing was the reason Of their being alone

ter appeared to do all the work, yet 1t
was beyond all reason that they should

Moreover, the girl had looked unused

could not solve the mystery. Far
from doing so, the more thought, the
more / examined the surroundings, the
deeper grew tho mystery. The door had
been locked, and / could find no key.
The window also was locked, and even
had it not been no one could have en-
tered thereby, so considerable was the
height from the ground. How, then,
had the assassin gained admittance?
Yet sure was l that Briarfeld had been
murdered, but by whom it was hard to
say-nay, impossible.
l did indeed think that he had COM
mitted suicide, but this was too wild an
idea to entertain even for moment.
When Iparted from him on the previous
night, he was in the best of health,
looking forward to. meeting Miss Bellin,
and was passably content with his life.
There was no hint of self destruction
either in speech or action. The thought
that his brother had deceived him
would not have engendered such an
idea Rather was he determined to un-
mask the traitor and regain his prom
ised wife by force. Murder 1t might be.
Suicide was out Of the question.
Thus far thrashed out the matter,
yet arrived at no logical conclusion. As
there seemed no signs Of landlord and
maid, it behooved me to consider what 1
should do. According to Francis, his
brother was due at the meeting place
that morning, SO l deemed it advisable
to wait until he arrived and then ex-
plain the circumstances to him. II he
was in league with Strent to murder his
brother, he would hardly be able to dis
guise his joy at hearing the success Of
his plot. / therefore determined to
! watch his faoo dHring the interview.

to there and then, in that lonely inn, ac-
cuse him as second Cain. By thus ter
rorizing his soul with such accusation
and with the sight of his victim / might
force him into confession.
If he were guilty, guessed the plea
behind which he would shelter himself
that he had not been near the place
on the previous night. This / would
counter by the accusation that his ennis
saries had carried out his orders and then
sought safety in fight 1t might be
that l suspected Felix wrongly, yet aft
er the story told me by Francis / could
not but think he was conn cted in some
unseen way with the death of the latter.
But, after all, these suspicious were yet
vague and aimless. All | knew for GER
tain was that Francis Briarfield was
dead. swore on the instant to devote
myself to finding out and furnishing his
detestable assassin.
Having come to this resolution,
propped up the open door. so as to close
the entrance to the chamber of death,
and descended to the lower regions.
Finding victuals and fuel in the kitchen,
cooked myself meaLand made suffi-
ciently good breakfast Then l lighted
my pipe and took my seat at the front
door to watch for the coming Of Felix
Briarfeld. Whether my suspicious
would be dispelled or confirmed by his
demeanor was of course unable to say
until the interview took place But |
was most anxious to know.
All that morning looked down the
winding road to Westminster, but saw
no one coming therefrom. Not soul
was in sight, and if / did for moment
think that Strent and his daughter
might return and declare themselves in
nocent the thought was banished by
few hours outlook. The inn, as l said
before, was on slight rise, and Icould
see far and wide. No human being was
to be seen, and as the hours passed l
grew almost Mortified at the grewsome
solitude To be alone with o dead body
in lonely house in a lonely moor is
hardly healthy for the mind.
Toward noon l took resolution.
"If," said /, "the mountain won't
come to Mohammed, why, then, Mo-
hammed must go to the mountain ~
The Interpretation of this was that I
intended to see Felix Briarfeld at Bellin
Hall, Marshminster. Face to face with
him, and would force him to explain
why he had not kept the appointment
1t seemed to me suspicious circum-
stance. Perhaps Strent had told him
Francis was dead, and therefore it would
be useless for him to ride to the Fen
inn. If this were SO, it would go long
way toward duplicating him in the
crime
I re.entered the house, locked up
everything, and strapping on my KNAPP
sack took my departure toward Marsh
minister. Some way down the road l
looked back at the ruin and saw it loom
more grim and ghastly than ever. Even
in the bright sunshine it could not ap-
pear otherwise than eerie, and it was
with great pleasure that left it be-
hind. Yet under those sloping roofs
Francis Briarfeld lay dead, and it was
to discover his assassin and avenge his
death that / set my face toward Marsh
minister.

HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.
Books Should Be We'll Chosen and Reed
 Carefully, Not Devoured

Books Should Be We'll Chosen and Reed
 Carefully, Not Devoured.
 Study is like dinner The viands must be we'll chosen and eaten slowly, not devoured, then we'll turned over in the mental stomach for awhile until with ease and comfort they are perfect '1y digested and furnish nutriment to the brain. Most students study without thought, which is like eating without digesting. Others read merely as a fad and soon forget all they may have learned.
 The most satisfactory method of study is the digestive. It is the thorough one the one that gives strength to the brain. Take the subject you are study ing. Read few lines or a few pages, as the case may be, then put the book down and think on what you have read Turn it about in your mind from every standpoint. Do not accept it immediate ly. Argue for and against it in your mind In other words, masticate it You need not be at your leisure to do this. Do it in your walks. in your idle moments, at any time. When you have satisfied yourself on the subject, go on with little more in the same way In short time you will find yourself more thorough student than if you had read all at sitting. The best edu- cated man in the end is the man who learns slowly. but surely. New York Advertiser.

FIRST TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER.
She Was an American Vessel Using Both
 Sails and Steam.

She Was an American Vessel Using Both
 Sails and Steam.
 The first s.eamer to cross the Atlantic was an American vessel called the Sa- vannah. She was steamship, and used both sails and steam, and was built by Crocker & Pickett at Corlear's Hook in New York city. The present belief is that she was built by 8 party of capital ists who intended to sell her to some foreign monarch. She was commanded by Captain Moses Rogers and was a ship rigged vessel of nearly 400 tons. She had a horizontal engine, which was placed between her decks, and her boil CTS were in the lower hold.
 It is generally admitted that the Sa- vannah sailed from New York in 1919, going to Savannah, her namesake, in seven days, four of which she used steam. There she was chartered by the city corporation to go to Charleston to take President Mol.roe, who was then travelling through the states on pleas ure excursion. He failed to accept the invitation, and the boat returned to Sa- ~annah. After remaining at this port for some days and taking out parties of curiosity as we'll as pleasure seekers the Savannah sailed for Liverpool, reaching it after a voyage of IS days, seven of which were made under steam. The arrival of the strange looking ves- sel, with huge clouds of smoke ascend ing from her decks and obscuring her rig ging caused quite commotion when she entered St Georges channel of the city of Cork, and the commander of the British ,man-ofwar lying in the harbor thought she was vessel in dis Everything found all right, however, the Savannah was allowed to proceed on her way, and thousands of people greeted her as she steamed up the Mer- sey to Liverpool with the American flag flying at her head. The Savannah then made trip to Copenhagen, Cron- stadt and St. Petersburg and then re- turned to this country, where she was relieved of her steam apparatus and for many years ran as packet between New York and Savannah. finally going ashore and breaking up on Long Island. The Savannah was, of course, a side wheeler. and as it was impossible to carry sufficient supply of fuel in her to keep up steam on a long voyage her wheels were removed during good sail ing weather and canvas substituted. The king of Sweden wanted to buy the boat when it was abroad, but the deal went through. Now, those are the facts about the first steamship that ever cross ed the Atlantic ocean.-Washingt Star -..
