She sat by the car window, gazing
out upon the unrollng scenery and pos

About six feet away from her, across

the next station was filed by man

who set her soft eyes upon him.
The lady was young and pretty, with
perhaps IA shade too much display in her
makeup, but still one could hardly say
that, for all is not gold that glitters in
such cases--or words to that effect.
When the man had sat down i'll the
vacant seat and composed himself for
the journey before him. he began to look
about to famiiarize himself with his
environments, and i'll the course of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady. He gave slight start, rs
people do when they think they see
somebody they know, and looked again
The lady wasn't looking, Of course
But she wasn't asleep.
Not i'll the slightest.
After Il minute or two or three OF

politely and deferentially approached

try to work as old racket as that on

1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder.

moving over TO make room beside her,

PRo EcUrIoN,s OVERSIGHT.
Pilot of Herbert Fuller Was Not Called
In Bran trial

Halifax. y $. Jan. . There is con
siderable conjecture in he minds of many
Halifax people Mo are follow the
Bran ease as To Why the pilot who
brought the Herbert Fuller into Halifax
vas never called as a witness at the trial.
He Vas the first person To board the
Ihip from tie shore and MAS therefore the
flIs person outside the CIV With whom
the principal persons in the case held any
conversation relative to the murders.
Pilot White was informed when he
boarded the barkentina off The harbor Of
what had taken place. and he was told
more or less of the circumstances of the
affair.
Before the pilot boarded the barken-
tine he n)tieed that the vessel vas acting
strangely Aftes standing IN for the port
Tor some time she suddenly put about on
her course and stood Off AGAIN. The
II orning MAS clear. and the action Of the
vessel vas strange. The pilot went
alongside and was informed from the rail
that there had been mutirs and murder
on board. The pilot signaued to the pilot
boat 10 keep the barSentine company for
a short distance in ease he CURED help.
Pilot Whites conversations with
Monks. Spencer, Brown and Bran
should be most important. The condi
tion of the ship and many other things
might be elected from a competent cross
examination. The pilot having sailed
the vessel for several mi - might also
give expert testimony as 10 lashing the
Wheel. 1t is regarded at a little singular
that the prosecution in the case failed
to call 50 important witness.
1t may be further stated that well
known captain in Halifax who was
aboard the Herbert Faler very early on
her arrival. had an important interview
with both Brown and Bran While they
werp in irons
The Somerset reporter., 1897-01-14

Mai. Mckinley very much desires that
Congressman Dngley of Maine shall
enter his cabinet as Secretary of the
Treasury, and there is no doubt he is as
we'll fitted for the position as any man in
this great country, but he declines to
comply with the urgent invitation of the
president-elect giving the following very
good reasons for so doing: ~ have
definitely determined that | can not go
into the Cabinet. 1 feel that it would be
greater strain upon my health than it
ought to be called upon TO bear. | am
quite satisfied where am. The work Is
congenial to me, aud, moreover, it il of
character which gives me an op-
portunty to recuperate during few
months Of every year. AS Secretary of
the Treasury | should be compelled to
be at my desk the yeai around with the
exception of only few weeks. Besides,

Treasury Department unless | gave H.

cial affairs of the Government are at

The plausible Lie.

We resent calumny, hypocrisy and
treachery because they harm us, not be-
cause they are untrue. Take the detrac-
tion and the mischief from the untruth,
and we are little offended by it. Turn
it into praise, and we may be pleased
with it. And yet it is not calumny and
treachery that do the largest sum of
mischief in the world. They are contin-
ually crushed and are felt only in being
conquered. But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy,
the patriotic lie of the historian, the
provident lie of the politician, the zeal
GUS lie of the partisan, the merciful lie
of the friend and the careless lie of each
man to himself that cast that black
mystery over humanity through which
we thank any man who pierces, as we
would thank one who dug a well in
desert Happy that the thirst for truth
remains with us. even when we have
wilfully left the fountains of it.-John
Ruskin.
