Mrs. Courtenay rose quickly from
her chair.
ooh, Mr.. Falkland, of the very great
est in the world! The fact is, Miss
Luttrell has Just received a note from
her aunt telling her of an accident
which has happened to her son; and,
as Lady Howard is going straight on
to the school, Miss Luttrell has to
leave also, and is to catch the 9:l0
train"
Then in that case, Miss Luttrell,
you have not second to lose" re-
turned Falkland, taking a rapid sur
vey of the troubled-looking pretty
face, which at the sound of his voice
had grown, If possible, shade paler.
You may just catch the train, but
only just; and you will have to drive
with the greatest speed imaginable.
However, come at once, ana Will
promise it for you; only Don't you
trouble, pray, Mrs. Courtenay-there
is not the slightest occasion; you can
trust your charge with perfect con-
fidence to me, and l will give you my
word not to leave her until have
delivered her safely into the hands of
either Lady Howard or the redoubt-
able Parker"
And so two minutes later it hap
pened that Evelyn found herself dash
ing along at breakneck speed through
the streets of Satellite. seated side by
side with her rejected sutton, Gilbert
Falkland.
ut is very kind Of you to trouble
So" she had tried to tell him above
the rattle of the wheels the instant he
had given directions to the driver and
they had started of at a pace more
suggestive Of a fire engine than a
crawling English GROWER" and per-
haps her conscience smote her a little
as she remembered with what disdain
she had treated him during the past
few days.

CHAPTER XIII.

After all, 1t seemed that her aunt
was right when she SO emphatfcally
declared that they would have been
utterly at sea without the kindly help
of Mr.. Falkland: and she began to
think that for the future she would
not be so ready to venture her opinion
when two such unreliable characters
as Major Brown and Gilbert Falkland
were on tapis. Alas, could 1t be posi-
BILE that she had been so hopelessly
mistaken In the former? To her 1t was
incredible.
There was the usual hustle and ex-
element consequent upon the depart
ure OF a train reigning at the small
terminus of Satellite as Evelyn and
Falkland stepped out Of the cab and
made their way quickly through the
throng of hurrying porters and trucks
of baggage. Falkland made a rush for
the ticket office, and then fastened for
ward to find Evelyn, who had gone on
to the platform, looking anxiously
around for signs of her aunt and maid.
Aunt Lydia must have left by the
express-she is not to be seen any
where" she said in some agitation;
"but Parker-both Parker and Sambo
they must be here"
"Yes-of course they must; have
you not seen them yet? But you get in
here. Miss Evelyn, and make sure OF
carriage to yourself. and I will go
and find Parker at once and bring her
to you"
But if she is not here-if she has
mistaken the train?" The girls tone
was thoroughly hopeless.
"Tako your seats! Take your seats!
came the voice of the guard. Are you
going, miss? Then take your seat,
he said to Evelyn.
What was she to do? She was in
despair as she mounted up quickly to
the first-class compartment, and then

A DOUBLE POISONING.

The marshal of Granville arrested
James Baker at his home, west OF the
village. the other evening, on tno
charge of numbering Alonzo II. VIII
liams, son Of George w. Williams, on
October 23. Baker was brought 10
Newark and lodged in the county jan
pending hearing. Baker and VIII
Iiams are brothers-in-law. Williams
son went to Bakers house on the date
mentioned and took Bakers wife to
an adjoining farm, and upon their re-
turn Williams ate supper, which, II
is said, Baker prepared Mrs. Baker
drank no coffee, but Williams did, and
soon became very sick. Williams lived
eighteen hours. Drs. A. X. Follett and.
e. j. Barnes reported the symptoms
indicated poisoning, and the coroner
investigated, ordering Prof. Cole OF
Denison University to analyze the
stomach. Though Williams had vom-
tied almost continually all night and
up to the time of his death, Prof. Cole
reported finding no trace of arsenic.

But Evelyn did not utter a syllable
as she tore open the envelope and read
the following hurriedly-penned words,
which she instantly passed to her COM
panion-
Dear Evelyn have scarcely a
moment to write to you, having only
just received telegram from Royston
School asking me to go Immediately,
as Wilfred, poor lad, had serious fall
this afternoon, and is lying in a most
critical condition. l am therefore
hoping to catch the $3.50 express. III
not, there is a fairly train at $40.
Anyhow, you will receive this in time
for you to catch the latter, as, OF
course, 1t is impossible for you to re-
turn to the hotel alone: so there Is
nothing for you to do but follow i'm
mediately. II am in time for the ex-
press, | shall leave Parker at the sta

Dear me, child'-it was Mrs.

Yes, indeed; but what am I to do?"
asked Evelyn, who was only just be-
ginning to grasp the situation and to
realize that there was not moment
to lose. If am to leave on the $40
train, ought to start at once-it must
be almost that time now"-with a
despairing glance round.
Nearly $40? Oh, it cannot be so
late already! But surely, somebody
can tell us! All, yes! Is that you,
Mr.. Falkland? How fortunate!" broke
off Mrs. Courtenay, with sigh of re-
lief, for Falkland was passing back to
his seat after the interval. you will
be able to give us the right time"
"The right time? Certainly" Falk-
land paused and pulled out his watch.

DIED OF GRIEF.

I DR.. William A. Foley, of Broad Rip
pie, Ind, died the other night heart
broken old man, and it is believed that
he grieved himself to death becauSs-
of his recent unpleasant marital Ell
periences. Last September he marrieH
pretty Marietta Bremmerman, tlSI
belle of the village, but the marriage
was not celebrated until he had first
transferred to the bride-elect $4,000 in
government bonds and other property.
He fitted up handsome cottage home
and made other preparations for the
reception of his bride. A few weeks
afterward he appeared as a plaintiff,
seeking to annul the marriage and re-
cover his bonds, claiming that his
wife was a wife only in name. The
young girl asserted that she had never
consented to become his wife, save in
name only, and that DR.. Foley thor
oughly understood this before the
marriage contract was signed. The
court annuled the marriage, but de-
clined to restore the bonds, holding
that the young wife had fulfilled her
part of the agreement. After that the
aged doctor could talk Of nothing else,
but he would sit for hours and watch
for sight of the bonnie woman who
had returned to her mothers home,
within a stones throw. His brother
reports that he lost all interest in life,

The earl of Wemyss was on a Fife

MED by an old caddie. His lordship
got the ball on one occasion so near
the hole that to play 1t was, as it APP

age grim and never smile did she
listen to the young woman's anec-

heard that among the antediluvian
races 1t wasn't considered good form
for a woman to tell good stories. At
last this woman rose to 60. To every

LONDON, August 9.-Josepl H.
Choate, United States minister to
Great Britain, was interviewed by q
representative of the Associated Press
in regard 10 the recent war or arbitra-
ton speech delivered by Sir Wilfred
Laurier, the Canadian premier. He
said: There will be no war. It is
safe to say no amount Of politics or
politicians in either country could oc-
casion war in this connection" The
ambassador, continuing, said that the
Canadian parliament was on the eve
of dissolution OF the leaders and both
parties had to speak. Choate seemed
to think that the latter circumstance
explained Laurier's position and he
was inclined to attach small import
ance to the premier's remarks. Choate
added INTERPRETATIONS were progress

The receivership Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. which has lust come
to . close, was remarkable IA many
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property In frst-class
shape, instead Of attempting to main
tain 1t In the condition that they found
1t. OF course the receivers were up-
held by q majority Of the security hold
ers and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio receivership marked an epoch
In such Affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
IN '96 and ~. when trade was at q low
ebb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6,751 wooden gondola
cars, 5000 pressed steel cars, $40 mis-
cellaneous. freight cars, postal, express
and dining car equipment, at q total
cost Of $17.000.000. The ZIG locomotives
cost nearly two and one-half millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
123.O10 tons, costing 32,142,152, and
there were bought over 5000, 900 cross
ties. costing $1,200,000. and 10000
cubic yards OF ballast amounting to
$525, 900. The new steel bridges aggre-
gate in value $4,000, and FULLY rs
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals, erecting new build
ings. reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance OF way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
to men employed In making impT we
ments on the tracks, etc, In three
years was nearly twelve millions Of
dollars. The total amounts to about
$35, 900 900, OF which about $16, OOO. 900
were secured by the issuance OF receiy-
ers' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganization,
managers. Most Of the purchases OF
equipment and rail were made when
material was low In price and manu-
featuring concerns we're in great need
Of orders to keep their plants in OPP
Grafton. Steel rails are worth now from
S. to 50 a ton more than when the re.
ceivers made their purchases, and To-
comotives have advanced from $4,000
to $4,000 in price. The equipment
alone, II purchased today. would cost
81, 000, 900 more and the other improve
ments $1,000, 900 more. President Cow
en- 10 authority for the statement that
the new company intends spending
100000 more In improvements in
the next year or two.
