A CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE.

The train on the Chiwassee Valley ex-
tension lurched uneasily round the
curves in the new track of the branch
lie, leaving a trail of sooty smoke
hanging in the foliage on the mountain
side and stippling the pools in the river
with showers of cinders from the en-
CINE where the railway embankment
skirted the stream. The afternoon sun
had dropped bshind the summit of
Johns mountain, but his oblique rays
still poured into the valley through &C.
casional gaps in the ridge, projecting
grotesquely heightened shadows of the
moving train half way across to the
western slope of Jubal mountain 4
cool breeze, fragrant with the breath of
wild honeysuclle and spicy with the
resinous smell of old-field pines, blew in
at the open windows of the car; and
Thorndyke, lying back in his seat with
half-closed eyes, tried once more to set
in their proper order the events of the
last few days in New York. There was
no particular reason why they should
be assorted and labeled, save one; the
memory of them seemed to be slipping
when he could not be sure that he had
signed his will; when he could not re-
member what he had said to his mother
at parting. And as for that pathetic
little scene in the dimlylighted draw
ing-room at the Morrissons, it might
have happened ten wears before. He
asked himself if it Were possible that it
was only two days since he had choked
in trying to say good-by to Helen. 1t
was beyond belief; the miles of distance
had somehow become transmitted into
years of time, and the memory of that
evening, only two evenings ago, was al
ready beginning TO fade. Was it only
because the change of scene and of en-
compassment pushed the things of yes
tcrday aside TO make room for newer
impressions, or did the reason lie in the
grim fact of irrevocablity? Thorn
dyke pursued these reflections so far
into the field Of distractions that the
man in the next seat spoke twice before
he got an answer
81 beg your pardon" Philip said,
coming back to actualities with re-
luctant effort. What did you say?"
Il asked if you were going up TO Mia

Il was an unpleasant voice, remind
ing one Of the buzzing Of bluebottles
and other annoying insects. Thorn
dyke looked around, and saw a why
little man with keen eyes. thin beak-
like nose, scanty black side whiskers.
and a struggling mustache dropped in
an evident but unsuccessful attempt to
cover the faulty teeth. Foreseeing
tcdium in the face, he answered vague
ly:
Yes; believe my ticket reads to that
point"
The human fly was not to be silenced
by any such mild Encouragement. Il

A MODERN MIRACLE.

Office in the new building of the ALA

prospective investors as they were al
United one at time by the clerk III
the outer room. If, in the beginning.
the manager Mad played a somewhat
leisurely second to Lawyer Sharpless
lead. all traces of inertness vanished
with the breaking of ground for the
new city. and Mr.. Fench became for
the time an incarnation of enthusiasm
and restless activity. Allacoochee and
its advantages eircumscribed the rim
of his horizon; the rest of the world was
3 mere tail TO the comet of which this
latest luminary in the urban galaxy
was the head.
And evidence was not wanting that
no inconsiderable portion of the world
of investment stood ready to take ALA
coochee at Mr.. Fench's appraisal. From
morning till night the outer Office was
crowded with buyers; and the rocket
like flight of prices seemed only to add
TO the eager anxiety of those who wait
ed their turns to get speech with the
busy manager. 1t is true that Mr.
Fench left nothing undone to fan the
flame of enthusiasm, and it is equally
certain that some of his methods were
rather more enterprising than honor
able; but no one stopped to analyze
the reaping process while the golden
harvest was so plentiful, and Mr..
Tench's little ruses were accepted and
credited by scores of people who in the
ordinary walks OF life were neither
knaves nor fools.

A Paste,sr Institution for the treat
ment Of hydrophobia has been es-
tablished at the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons, Baltimore. Already
IL patients have been treated and
cured, who were bitten by dogs with
true rabies. It has been open for
about one month. It is under the
management of Prof. n. G, kirle, A.
NJ, NJ. D., and DR.. John Ruhrab, OF
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, and is connected with the
Baltimore City Hospital. DR.. Ruhrah
was sent to Parish last winter by the
faculty of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons to make special study
of this successful method Of treating
rabies with the view of establishing
an institution at Baltimore, which has
been done. There are only two of
these institutions in this country
The other is in New York.

government.

Two fths of Great Britain's reve-
nue. is expended upon the army and
navy. In sixty years the annual mil
itary expense in time of peace has
increased threefold while the rational
income has about doubled. And the
estimates for next year propose Oh
addition of SO, 100000 to the present
military charge. The apparent cause
of this is the decision of the French
to add to their navy. Britannia must
60 them one better in order to rule
the waves. Should no outbreak &C.
cur soon, the great European wal
seems likely to be foughtin the treas.
uries. Turkey and Greece are already
bankrupt; while Russia, Germany and
France are almost breaking down in
the effort to maintain their present
military system on peace footing.

DR.. Albert Shaw, who is one of our
leading authorities on municipal gov
ernment, declares that tie new char
ter of Greater New York creates q
bureaucracy worse than that of Rus
sia, practically nulifes home rule by
its cumbrous machinery, and practi
cally places the control of city affairs
in the hands of the Legislature. To
which Mr.. Thomas G. Platt would
doubtless reply, 'That's the inten-
ton" In fact, New York has arrived
at the stage whore fundamental law
is framed directly in the interest OF
perpetuating Boss Platt's rule. I'm
der constitutional forms the State is
really governed by dictator. This
is strange and unpalatable fact; but
should be frankly faced by those who
desire the preservation of popular
government.
