CHAPTER IN.

Hendricks sat smoking beside Welsh
all the way down town. He seemed so
deeply thoughtful that Welsh was
afraid to disturb him. Presently, how
ever, Hendricks sighed, looked into the
captains eNpectant face, and said:
MY New York case is puzzling me,
i can't make head or tail of it. 1t is cer-
tainly "a most complicated matter. You
may have read of the Sixth avenue jew

the eyes, but this is really going too
far. Surely you don't realize any po-
sition. | have taken it on myself TO
employ you with the eity's money, and
and surely this is no time to be talk
ing of other eases"
Hendricks stared in surprise, blushed,
and threw away his cigar. The cab was
slowing up at Welsh's office. Hen
bricks said nothing until they were in
side and he had closed the door; then
he coolly lighted another cigar and
went on:
You must pardon me, really, cap
tain, but l have always worked with
men who understood my awkward
ways. They usually let me alone; and

"Conclusion? What conclusion %
cried Welsh.

though now do recall that you made
one or two proposals that rather seemed
TO indicate IA lack of proper caution"

MILITARY HIGHWAYS.
Row n Pennsylvania Road Enthusi
asst Would Solve the Problem in
the keystone State.

An elaborate system of good high
ways for Pennsylvania is proposed by
Arthur Kirk, of Sharpsburg, Pa. AS the
constitution of that state says there
shall be no state debt created except for
military purposes" he proposes that the
state create a complete system of mill
itary roads, which shall traverse the
state from east to west in parallel lines
40 miles apart, and in like manner from
north to south. These military high
ways are not to utilize old roads, but
are to be laid out new under the most
expert supervision; be constructed in
the best manner; have no grade greater
than three per cent, no matter what
grading may be required, and to be
from 40 to 60 feet wide.
The whole charge of building and
maintaining these highways is to be in
the hands of the secretary of internal
affairs, who is to have three competent
civil engineers as his counselors. All
applicants for positions of engineers in
charge of the construction of these
roads are to be rigidly examined be-
fore they can be appointed. The sec
rotary is to appoint a court to hear all
claims and award damages for property
taken for the construction Of the roads.
Before each section of road is COM
pleted, the secretary is to sell at public
auction the right to lay and use Il
double track street railway on it for
transporting freight and passengers,
for a period of 20 years, and money re-
ceived from this source is to become
part of the bodybuilding fund.
Before the end of November of each
year, the secretary is to notify the state
treasurer how much will be required
for the following year, which sum shall
not exceed $12,OO 900. On the first
Tuesday of each month, the treasurer
shall sell at public auction 20-year three
percent. state bonds, to an mount not
exceeding 100000 per month, until
the sum required by the secretary is
obtained.
Such highways are expected to bene-
fit the people so greatly that they will
demand that they be built but 90 miles
apart, aud then ten and then five. Mr..
Kirk has given the road question much
attention both here and abroad. His pro-
posed military road law has been
printed with full explanations.

Ate His Own Book.

The lusty orators who are forever
telling us how much we are oppressed
ought to be sent to Russia to have
a taste of real oppression. Not long
ago, at Moscow, a volume was published
which contained some paragraphs in
favor of the people, and the author was
promptly arrested and the book sup
pressed. The author was tried in a
summaryway and condemnedto eat his
own words. \ scaffold was erected in
a public square, and the imperial pro-
vost, the magistrates and the physicians
of the car were present. The book was
separated from the binding, and the
margin cut off. The author was then
served leaf by leaf by the provost. and
was obliged TO swallow this unpalat-
able stuff on pain of the knout. As
soon as the medical gentlemen were of
the opinion hat he had eaten as much
as he could with safety, the unlucky
author was returned to prison. The
punishment was renewed until, after
several hearty meals, every leaf of the
book was actually swallowed.-Goldep

whose one act so awed the savages that
he could travel alone across the plains
in safety. The one act is described in
THE Old Santa Fe Trail" Belly Dodd's
head was as bald as n b~illiard-ball, and
he wore a wig. One day, at Beats Fort,
there being many Indians about, Belly
thought he would have a bit of fun.
He walked around, eying the Indians
fercely; then dashing in among them,
and shouting a war-whoop. he pulled
off his wig and threw it down at the
feet of the awed Indians. They thought
he had jerked off his scalp; every
one ran like a scared jack-rabbit; ano

A business Woman.

An engaging and prosperous young
woman has given a number of people
of Toronto, Ont, cause to remember her
by her taking way of extracting one
dollar each from them, or from some
one of their household. She is de-
scribed as good looking and business
like. She has done n thriving trade by
calling at houses of the well to do just
after the mistress has gone out, pre-
senting 4 plant to the servant and col
lecting one dollar, saying that the mis-
tress had just bought the plant in the
street and directed her to TAXI it home
and get the money for it. Her strong
point lay in her ability to describe ex-
Gctly how her customer was gowned-
an easy matter, since she had watched
her leaving the house. The plants she
left were usually either worthless ar
stolen.

'sThe duplicity, perndy. and cruelty Of tho

Minority Report.
Senator Turpie presented the report
of the minority of the committee as
follows:
The undersigned. members Of the committee
on foreign relations, cordially concur in the re-
port made upon he Cub'n resolutions, but we
favor immediate recognition Of the republic Of
Cuba. as organized in that island. as a free, in
dependent AMI sovereign power among the ma
tions OF the world.
1t was signed by Senators Turpie,
Mills, Daniel and Foraker.
Following the presentation of the
reports and after Mr.. Hoar had insisted
that consideration of the resolutions go
over until Thursday on a point of or
der, came two of the most remark
Bile speeches yet delivered on the
Cuban question. Mr.. Foraker and
Mr.. Lodge, both brilliant and impas-
stoned orators, presented different
phases of the Cuban situation. Mr..
Foraker advocated the direct recogni-
ton of the independence of the Cuban
republic and with an eloquence and
vehemence seldom heard in the senate
splendidly maintained his position. A
sharp cOlloquy between him and Mr..
Elkins caused excitement.
Mr.. Lodge followed with an appeal
for action in preservation of the ma
tionis honor and in wiping out the
stain of the ''atrocious murder" in Ha-
vana harbor. His words SO reached
the heart that the galleries were swept
with a tremendous wave of applause.
Mr.. Lindsay (Ky.) concluded the dis
cussion for the day with 4 powerful
speech in which he advocated the rec
ignition of the Cubans and a concert
OF action between the Insurgent army
and the United States troops in driv-
ing the Spanish forces from the island
OF Cuba"
