"He has bin Presented of New York

s@ The Kentucky papers are making
a great hurrah over a mule in that state
which is known to be 40 years old and
is still working every day. South Car
olina has, or had two, that beat this
record. The Greer's correspondent of
the Greenville News says: "Today
we heard of two remarkable mules for
long time owned by Green Ingram,
of Sandy Flat. These mules hauled
crossties that built the Columbia and
Greenville railroad. When they were
young their color was black, later they
turned brown and from that to almost
snow white. Charles Mitchell owned
them for several years and traded them
to a man in North Carolina 10 years
ago. The mules were then 43 and 46
years of age respectively, fat, snow
white, and very sprightly. 1t is be-
lieved by some who knew them that if
they have had proper treatment since
they left the Palmetto state they are
doing good service yet"

ODD THINGS ABOUT RAINBows.-
Did you ever see a rainbow in the
West? In discussing this curious
question, the Philadelphia Times gives
some interesting facts in regard to a
rainbow and how it is formed:
1. 1t is never seen except when the
sun is shining in one part of the sky,
and rain is falling in the other, or op-
posite part.
Q. 1t is generally seen in the east,
because our showers come from the
west and pass off toward the east.
8. 1t cannot be formed in the east
except in the afternoon.
4. 1t cannot be formed in the west
except in the morning.
5. 1t is never seen at midday, be-
cause the sun is then above US, and we
cannot, therefore, stand between it and
the rain.
Some of you may wonder why a
rainbow is always semi.circular in
shape. As a matter of fact, it is al
ways a complete circle, but we cannot
see but one-half of the circle, because
the earth cuts off our view. If we
were poised in the air, high above the
earth, we could see it all. The circu-
lar shape is due to the fact that the
raindrops are round, and that each
drop reflects but one color to our eyes.
1t may strike you as strange thing,
but it is true, that no two persons see
the same bow. That is because no
two persons can possibly occupy the
same position, and thus reflections fall
differently upon their eyes.

Mr.. Barnes and Marvel left Ports

found an opportunity to be alone in the
smoking car long enough to piece to-
gether the fragments Of the letter which
he had picked up when thrown away
by Marvel. With mucilage which he
had procured at Portsmouth he pasted
each piece to another sheet 80 that
finally the letter was once more legible.
It read as follows:
After the events Of last night 1t Is best that
you leave the country. Do 30 without delay.
It would be madness to think of marriage now.

CHAPTER ~.
THE LETTER.

When Mr.. Barnes reached the road,
be started on run, for he was anxious
to overtake Virginia Lewis before she
should discover that she was watched
by Burrows. After what be had just
learned, he very much doubted whether
his young assistant would be able to
oircumvent this shrewd girl It is not
as easy to shadow a person along a
lonely country road as it might be In
city, where the crowded streets offer
ready opportunities for hiding.
As Virginia had only few minutes
start Of the detective and walked at a
moderate gait. Mr.. Barnes caught sight
Of her Just as she began to cross the
bridge. AS she passed over 1t he noted
that she was attracted by something,
for she stopped, looked over the rail
and then around her in every direction.
Mr.. Barnes was glad that he had found
q chance to assume some sort Of dis
guise, as there was no way OF avoiding
her gaze. In a moment she went on,
and when he reached the bridge he eaw
at once what had aroused her caution.
1t was the sight Of her own boat, which
Burrows had used to reach the place.
As she knew that she had left 1t up the
stream the night before, its presence at
this landing must have been sufficient
to indicate to her that she was being
followed, for she had evidently chosen
the time for her errand when she knew
the detectives had gone of exploring
near the river bank. It was easy for her
to guess that her departure from the
farm had been observed and that her
own boat had brought spy after her.
Mr.. Barnes was disappointed that she
should have thus been placed upon her
guard. She would now almost certainly
not post her letter at the Office. She
walked on about 100 yards beyond the
bridge, and from the alert glances
which she cast about her it was plain
that she was looking for the detective,
Of whose presence she felt assured. She
passed the postofice, and going little
farther entered house on the opposite
side Of the road. Mr.. Barnes did not
follow, because there was nothing to be
gained. She was beyond his reach for

his hair was tumbled, his face the the

despair, too, in his face, as if in dim
way he looked into a future black
with disappointment. tell you it
was shock to see the man."
During Friday, both Croker and
Platt sent messages of sympathy to
Mrs. George on account of the loss of
her husband. Other political enemies
of the deceased testified as to his
ability, purity of character, and hon
esty of purpose, and the Jeffersonian

successor, his son, Henry George, Jr.

FAST TRAINs.-According to a Eu-
ropean authority, only two regular
express trains on the continent of
Europe, one running from Paris to
Nice and the other from Ostend
through Germany to the Russian from
tier at Eydtkuhnen, average so much
as 3S4 miles per hour. The same au-
thority estimates the average express
speed between New York and Chicago
at about 4St miles per hour, almost 10
miles faster than the best European
time.
