We are accustomed to regard the
locomotive engine, but within the mem-
ory of some of the older engineers the
bell gave the only warning of the ap-
proach of a train. The first whistles
were intended as a warning In more
ways than one. In the early days Of
the railroads the trains were much in
terrupted by cattle, sheep and pigs on
the right Of way. and in order to
frighten them off a small hole was
bored in front Of the engine boiler and
fitted with a tube. When the train
came rattling along and the engineer
saw a COW on the track he opened this
hole and out spurted the steam and hot
water with a tremendous cracking and
kissing. filling the air with a cloud Of
mist. 1t was enough to fHghten the
most intrepid COW and send her bawl-
Ing from the tracks.
Presently some ingenious workman
fitted up a reed and drove 1t into the
steam hole and the screeching and
whistling that 1t made not only fright
ened the cows, but terrified every one
who lived along the road. But 1t did
its work so well that the whistle was
finally removed from the front Of the
engi,es and placed on top, where 1t is
used to-day.
A similar story is told Of the first
steamboat whistle used on the great
lakes. Early in May, 1874, the steam
or Rochester departed from Buffalo.
bound for Chicago. The engineer was
q mechanical genius named MCGEE,
and he had constructed a steam whistle
from plans which he had seen in a
scientific paper. On the way up the
lakes he blew it at every stop, much
to the establishment and terror of the
inha 5itants. Just before reaching
Mackinaw the Rochester, after a lively
race passed the steamer Gen. Porter
Capt c. l.. eager. Engineer McGee
celebrated the victory by blowing his
whistle derisively and nOisily. When
both boats reached the wharves Capt
eager rushed up in rage, shaking his
fist and daring McGee to come down
and face him.
What are you squawking that thing
1t me for?" he roared.

matters straight before 60" There were
solemn consultations between husbands
and wives, which usually ended in the
fathers going out, stern faced and silent,
and the mother, dry-eyed, but with quiv-
ering lips, seeking her own room, with
eyes that showed she had been weeping.
There were gatherings in the town halls
and in the churches and school houses all
over the land. The newspapers were
read hurriedly and anxiously.
And when little Robert rocked up earn
estly into his grandmamma's face and
asked, why does mamma not eat her
breakfast?" grandmamma replied, Your
papa is going away, my dear-papa is 60

war? Why does he not stay at home with

mamma would draw her boy to her and.

into his eyes she would say, Eyes, my

CHAPTER xxi

The ten days or so" to which Major
Llewellyn has alluded as the proba BILE
time of his stay have dwindled down to
three; and on this evening--the third be-
fore he sails from Southampton with the
deta chment for the Cape--he and Muriel
are going down to Daneield Priory to
dinner party.
1t is forty miles from London, certainly,
but they intend returning to town by the
ten o'clock express the same night.
Murnel enters the Danetield drawing
room with the tips Of her fingers touching
Eric's arm, cold, and fair, and self-pos-
sessed as the haughtiest married belle Of
London season. She is naturally grace
full, naturally well-bred, this Irish coun-
try girl, and as she bows to one and an
other as they are introduced to her by her
mother-:n-law, or by Eric, people are a
good deal amazed to see in the girlish
bride of Major Llewellyn's romantic mar
riage-respecting which clever Miss Het-
tie Stapleton has set dozen rumors afloat
this lovely creature who has the grace
of young princess.
But all at once, Muriel hears a name
uttered that sends all the blood to her
heart with a rush, and her feet seem
rooted to the floor, and all the faces
around her seem to fade away in mist,
leaving one only-one which photographs
itself on her brain, as her eyes blaze with
a jealous fire on the face of her rival. Her
fingers clench themselves involuntariy on
Eric's arm with a grip of which she is all
unconscious, but of which he is quite cog
infant. as well as of the cause, and it in
creases his embarrassment tenfold as he
introduces them.
"Muriel, this is--my cousin he empha-
sizes these last two words"Miss Cam
eron. Edith, this is my wife"
And Muriel, with chill sickness Of
jealous despair gathering over her spirit,
perceives. in a moment. in Edith Cam
eron the most beautiful woman she has
ever seen.
Il was so glad to hear of your marriage
Eric she says, in scarcely lowered tone
while she plays with her fan; "only you
needn't have taken us all by surprise, need
he, Muriel? May l call you Muriel:"
"You may" Muriel says, very coldly,
and the smiling radiance of the bright CO.
quotes face fades little.
And then the evening goes on ard the
dinner is over, and there is music, and
Hester Stapleton sings-well,as she does
everything in a cultivated contralto voice
song after song, until she absorbs most
of the interest of the evening.
Not once for the rest of the evening
does Eric address his wife beyond the
briefest question on their journey back
to town; and then the next day he is out
from morning until night, and on the next
his mother and cousins come up to take
their leave of him, as he is to travel down
to Southampton by the night express.
And the evening comes, and Muriel's
last chance is gone. Her last hour with
her husband has come, dwindling down
minute by minute to the moment of part
ing. Parting for years, ''for evermore"
perhaps. She and Eric, her welded lover,
her one only love, her only hope on earth,
and they are alienated; they will part AZ
strangers amidst the group of strangers
part and say, "Adieu for evermorey'
Go be continued.)

Then came the rapid writing out OF the
fearful words that the slender wires had
uttered, the hurrying to and fro. and mes
senger boys were seen flying to the great
newspaper offices and the homes of the
mayors Of the cities, and to the churches
where the people were already beginning
to assemble. For the deep-toned Sab

had been ringing out their welcome to all,

Die strolled leisurely along toward the
churches So one family after another
fled into their pews, while the organist
played such soft, sweet music that every
body felt soothed and quieted by it.
In many of the churches the prayer was
over, the morning hymn had been sung,
when a stir and hustle at the door might
have been noticed, as the messenger boys,
excited and out Of breath, handel their
yellow envelopes to the ushers. First one
and then another read the message, and
from some of them escaped in hushed
whisper the words, ''Oh. God! Has il
