Il had n message from Mr.. Marsdcn
Just now"
''Indeed!' cried Lady Dorrington, feel
ing exceedingly uncomfortable. "He had
40 business to disturb you"
"He did not disturb me. l would not
be disturbed. He asked to see me-" There
was a silence of nearly two minutes, while
Lady DOrrington sought in vain for some
wise and cautious words with which to
reply before she found them. Mrs. Ruth
ven resumed very languidly, but opening
her eyes and settling them on her hostess:
Il suppose he wished to announce his en-
gagement to Miss L'Estrange, if it is
true. Is it true. Lady Dorrington?"
What a question! What would she not
have given to be allie to deny the fact
with scorn and Indignation? AS it was,
ought she not to be thankful the ice was
broken?
why. my dear Mrs. Ruthven, who in
the world told you?"
Some one mentioned it in one of the
letters have been reading"
Shirley" thought Lady Dorrington.
"Viper!'
But is it true" persisted Mrs Ruth
ven.
''Oh! 1 don't know what to think; am
afraid there is something in it. Indeed. l
have been infinitely annoyed" Lady Dor
rington paused abruptly, feeling mex
pressibly awkward.
You are not inclined for this marriage,
thenF said Mrs. Ruthven, n peculiar and
not very amiable smile passing over her
face.
Inclined for it! Why. it is the bitterest
disappointment to me! You must know
that. my dear Mrs. Ruthvenw
"Ah! Miss L'Estrange has but a small
fortune, and it will take more than m
ordinary one to put your brothers affairs
in order"
Besides that" cried Lady Darlington.
"there are other considerations! Nora
LEstrange is quite unfit to be Clifford's
wife. He will tire of her in six months"
That is very probable. He is not
wise"
And he actually talks of letting Ewes
leigh on a lease for years. and sinking
into continentalized dilettant English
man."
Mrs Ruthven compressed her lips. and
her pale cheeks flushed as she answered
in a low, clear tone:
"Your brother is changeable and i'm
pulsive. After all, it is quite probable the
marriage may never take place"
"1e appears to have committed himself
fully" said Lady Dorrington, who, now
that the ice was broken, found it a relief
to talk on this vexatious subject. Mrs.
Ruthven was silent. leaning her elbows on
the arms of her chair, and pressing her
finger tips together. while her face, which
had grown deadly white again, expressed
cold, implacable displeasure.

CHAPTER Kill.

1t was more than an hour before Lady
Oorrington felt sufficiently recovered from
the excitement of her interview with her
brother to present herself in the invalid's
chamber Lord Dorrington. whom she
had sought as the only possible recipient
of her indignant complaints, was out, and
his whereabouts uncertain. She felt
dreadfully uncertain how to act. She was
afraid to break the news of his engage
ment to the deserted widow, lest 1t might
produce fatal effect, yet she felt it in
cumbent on her to enlighten Mrs. Ruth

When, at last, Lady Dorrington entered
the sitting room into which Mrs. Ruthven
had been moved for few hours daily
since her strength could bear it, she found
that lady writing on a movable desk at

weary; a lace cap, with pale pink ribbons.

sacramento's Electric Powe,

The city Of Sacramento, in Califo.
mia, hitherto has been known princi.
pally as the official Western terminus
of the Central Pacific Railroad. 1t now
has taken ON a new dignity. 1t is be-
ing supplied with a vast current Of
electric power obtained from the fall
Of water in the American River at
Folsom, twenty-three miles away. The
fall of the river from the dam to the
terminus Of the canal at Folsom is
eighty-two feet, and seventy feet Of
This will furnish some 10000 horse
power, so per cent. of which can be
delivered at Sacramento when needed,
the other 20 per cent. being lost In
generating and transmitting. At pres
ent about 1000 horse power Is availa-
BILE, and much of that was used last
week in moving the street cars during
the fair. OF course 1t is expected to
do far more than this. The Bee of that
city says Sacramento Is not only the
first city in the world to receive cleo
trical energy from 4 distance so great,
but is to-day the only city in the world
that contains so large an electric plant.
1t has become the most favored spot
in the United States If not In the
world for manufactures. for here may
be obtained the cheapest and most
economical power. with a broad, free
river to transport the manufactured
products to deep sea water, and with
lines of railway radiating in all direc-
tons" But this Is not all. The
waters of the American River form
only one of the great number of
streams that flow down into the great
valleys of the State from the Sierra
Nevada, and 1t is in contemplation 20
use many of these, an additional stim-
ulus to the improvement being fur
nishcd by the fact that coal is eXpen-
sive in that region. Wires for the
transmission of power have long been
in use in the East and in Europe. but
only for short distances. The power
generated at the Falls of Niagara Is
carried only seven miles from the
place of it's birth, but 1t Is evident that
an extension there may be counted or
when the Niagara Falls Company sees
what Is being done in and around Sac
ramento.

An elaborate practical Joke has been
played on Belgian cyclist While
taking his usual afternoon ride along
the central boulevard of Brussels he
entered one of the cafes for some re-
freshments. leaving his machine against

A Joker seated outside on a terrace

cyclists style, as If he We're a genuine

hailed one of those long white -blOused
street commissioners to be met with ut
nearly every street corner In Brussels.
My man, just you look well after
my bicycle. and see that no one takes
1t during my absence. for there are so
many bicycle thieves about the city you
cannot be too careful. so keep sharp
lookout, and here's a franc for your
trouble"
The joker then crossed the road, TAX
Ing up his post at n cafe opposite to
enjoy the result Of the francs Invest
ment Out came the unsuspectinG vic
tim. and, taking the machine, was about
to start.
Hold. there, old chappie, we know
your measure, so off with you," said
the white -bloused one, at the same time
gently forcing the astOnished cyclist
back.
At first he thought the man was
drunk, and expostulated quietly with
him, but all to no purpose, the trusty
guardian simply replying that 'he
knew what he was about" Finding
persuasion useless, Mr.. Y lost his
temper, and the discussion soon grew
to angry menaces on both sides.
Meanwhile a large crowd had assem-
bled, highly amused at the prospects
of pugilistic encounter. The appear
ance of policeman put stop to any
fighting. and he took both the belliger-
ents to the station. escorted by an i'm
mense crowd of spectators.
The unfortunate bicyclist soon recol-
Iected that he had in his pocket his
license on which was recorded the num-
Der of his machine. In consideration
of this testimony the machine was
handed over to the rightful owner.

neutrality-suspicious.

London, July 2-Sir William Yer
non Harcourt, ex-chancellor of the>ex-
chequer, has written a letter in reply
to the memorial of the bimetallic
league, in which he says:
Il do not share in the opinion ex-
pressed in your memorial, but this is
not a fitting time TO enter into an ar
gument on the subject 1 only VEN
ture upon one observation. The me-
mortal refers to the depreciation of
property and the depression of in
dustry, particularly agriculture, and
attributes all these evils TO the action
of France in abandoning the bimetal-
lie system, which, while it existed, you
considered, secured to the rest of the
world advantages which you believed
flowed from this system. You do not,
however, advert to the fact that de-
probation and depression of a far
more serious character occurred dur
ing period when, as you maintain,
operation-for instance, the thirty
years from 1915 to 1S45-when the evils
to which your memorial refers, existed
in a far more aggregated form than
now. If you compare this condition
of the people of your town or agricul-
tural district of that epoch with their
condition now you will find that the
wages and employment of the working
classes contrast most unfavOrably dur
ing your bimetallic elysium with their
situation in these mOnometallic days
which you deplore."

that the name of the abductor of the
lawyer, o. o. Cottle, is Claude Strong,
and not John c. Emery Emery is said
to be the name assumed by Strong in
Cincinnati some years ago, when he
carried on extensive sWindling opera
lions. Claude Strongs family still lives
in Buffalo, his relatives being well
known and his brother one of the most
prominen. architects in the city.
SrtOng, it appears was born swindler,
his playmates at school being his first
victims. When only IS years old he had
embarked in the work of his life in
putting the people of the interior
towns up against fakes for which they
paid good money. The government
postoffice inspectors finally became
suspicious al the large quantity of
mail matter received by Strong and he
was arrested. He escaped to Canada
and considerable amount of money
which his operations had netted him
found its way to Lawyer Cottle, whom
he engaged to defend him. Strong
remained in Canada several years,
and then went TO Cincinnati He
his name to John c. Emery.
The abduction of the lawyer was evil
