When young Roosevelt's turn came
to speak, he arose with all confidence
and began:
'At midnight in his guarded tent

When Greece. her knees
Then his memory failed him. and he
repeated:

THE Story OF PANsY.

She was q little waif born OF q bal-
let dancer, and all out of place in her
surroundings. The smallest. fragile
thing, eight years old, and not .
grain of childishness left her. With
the instincts of the drawing room,
practices of the slums, and love for
her little brother like the love OF
Jonathan for David.
There were only the two OF them
to steal for, and they lived in tene-
menf house. She was never absent
more than half a day from Tippy. No
officer but one had ever dared to lay
hands ON that morsel of unprincipled
but alluring humanity. Pansy shud-
dered to look back upon that once.
but she had not ahuddered before the
Judge. She Rad brazened it out with
. naive and petty effrontery that she
knew well how to assume. The judge
was good nAtured and weakly dis
missed her. Afterwards she was more
careful.
The next week a founding house
officer came to see Pansy's papa. She
herself went TO the door, and told him
her papa was out. This was true.
Pansy's papa had departed several
months before in long box; but
Pansy did not go into details.
The officer sat down. Then fol-
lowed . conversation. II Pansy had
not gone into detail, the officer did

acted SO many parts, but was there
ever one less acted than another, were
the tears ever sorrowful, the smiles
ever unconscious? .Aardly! Unle8
it were when she and Tippy rejoiced
over a silk laced handkerchief filchsd
with nicely; or when Pansy embraced
Tippy with real election and un-
folded romantic pictures of the future
when they might have oyster-patties
every Sunday in the month!
As 1 said, the officer was touched,
enthusiastic. He prom
ised to come tomorrow. The officer

Pansy was gone and Tippy was gone,
and the place knew them no more.
The summer that followed was q
hot one, and partly through tbs,
partly through q diet that was not
wise, toward the end Of August Tippy
died. The days that followed carried
no meaning for Pansy. A good ma
tured neighbor took her in, and toler-
ated her until she recovered balance,
and after that Pansy slipped from UNI

spending four months in trying to get
through TO the gold country over the Ash
croft trail. At Quesnelle they met Sir
Arthur Curtis. an English baronet, ana
his party, and also ran across them at
Mud river, where Sir Arthur mysterious
ly disappeared, and was never seen oy
a white man again. Mr.. Mills said they
TONED i'm the search with Indians for the
body, and that they are confident that the
latter not only knew about the noble
mans death, but where the body might
be- found. They want $1,000 reward for
bringing il out of the woods. The unfor-
tunate nobleman, Mills believes, met with
foul play.
Mills and his party were lost four lays
without food 100 miles from Telegraph
creek. on one occasion they took the ad-
vice of a treacherous Indian guide ana
went 30 miles out of their way. Their
experience was terrible. They declare
emphatically that the route is a fraud
and that hundreds of poor fellows are
actually i'm danger of starvation on IL
now. They are stalled so and 100 miles
apart without provisions and without
hope. -
Mills and Grant started out with 5S
horses and lost 30 head on the road. Thelr
outfits were also lost and when they
reached Telegraph creek they were pro-
ken in health and without money.

MANY RAILROADS
Death Reduces the Firm of Col

ALL MODEL BUSINESS MEN
In Their Active Career They Met Re-
vers %. but Energy and Determin-
alton Was the Sure Road 70
Success Every Time.

B~eIlefonte, Pa. Sept. 25.-Thomas
Collins. the last but one of the widely
known firm Of railroad contractors.
Collins Brothers, died to-day at his
home in this city, aged rs years. He
had been III for the past year or two,
and was convalescent from an attack
Of typhoid fever. when gangrene set in
and caused death.
The firm Of Collins Brothers. of which
Thomas Collins was the ruling spirit,
Is said to have built hundreds Of miles
Of railroad more h n other firm
I'm the world. II was composed of six
brothers. born of poor parents and with
but few educational opportunities.
Their first opportunity was the old
Portage road, built for the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in 1s49, and for many
years the Collins did all the work for
that company. The business increased
rapidly, and the roads were construct
ed for the Philadelphia & Reading. Lee
high Valley, Jersey Central and other
companies. During its career, this
firm made and lost several large for
tunes. and the brothers, principally
Thomas. won praise by the spirit with
which In went TO work to retrieve
their losses. The firms heaviest inan-
cial disaster resulted from a contract
with the English government in 1877
To construct the Madeira & Mamore
road i'm Brazil. The brothers left Phil
adelphia on the ship Maripolis, with
supplies. iron and several hundred men.
While off Cape Hatteras the vessel was
wrecked and nearly all on board lost
their lives. The Collinses escaped n
set to work Immediately TO carry out
the contract. Another ship was char
tered and several years had been spent
i'm building the road. when the English
government refused to pay 1t prac-
tically ruined the firm, but the broth
ers started anew and once more
achieved success, but not i'm me mea-
sure as had been theirs before the
building of the Brazilian road.
In 1896 the firm came to Bellefonte
and the last big operation was the con-
struction Of the Glens Falls & New
York branch of the Lehigh Valley.
Since then FIVE of the brothers have
died. Peter being the sole survivor.
Thomas, who died to-day. was prom
