An Evidence of FrosDeritv.

1t is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancela-
ton of pleasure travel, while healthy con-
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the
Lake Shore Limited" the star train of the
Vanderbilt system, between New York and
Chicago, which is daily comfortably filled.
With a view to taking the best possible care
of its patrons, the New York Central has
arranged to increase the equipment of this
train by placing an additional standard
sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days. To the regular traveller the appoint
ments and comforts of this train are well
known, but if you have never made trip
on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en-
joy the advance made in comfort and lux
ury in modern railway travel Remember
the fare is no higher on this train. except
between New York and Chicago. while the
accommodations and service place this par
ticular train conspicuously at the head of

there, rolled mp almost in ball, lay
the body of old Dingsby. His belt had
burst with the strain of his doubling
over, or perhaps was cut by the glanc
ing fragment of shot, and it was slip

of unbuckling it from the front, his
back being toward me. The mate

stiff and bold near the gun, and no
one else had been hurt, that could

The captains figure broke through
the passing cloud of smoke, coming
from the helm or some part aft, and
pausing at the edge of the poop.
"On deck, there, how fares it?' he
inquired, peering down. Then perceiv-

CONSCIENCE AND THE LAW.
There Are Some Queer Notions Which
Most People Entertain as to
Right and Wrong.
rTo BE CONTINUED

"a lawyer is the repository of more
secrets than a priest or DOCTOR" said
member of the fraternity while TAX
ing his ease at the club.
MOSTLY rascally," suggested his lis
tener.
"WeI, yes" admitted the lawyer.
ut is my experience that there never
yet was a case where one side was
wholly in the right and the other side
wholly in the wrong. That is what
makes it easy on lawyers conscience.
You didn't think he had one? Come
give us something new. But what
was about to say was that very few
people have a conscience"
II thought everybody had one"
Theoretically everybody has, but
it is only used in Judging other per-
sons acts. When a man is personally
interested he puts his conscience to
one side. That's what makes work for
the lawyers. Every term there are
hundreds of cases tried in which one
party knows he is entirely in the
wrong but hopes to get the better of
his opponent by some slip of the
law.
THE root of the trouble" he went
on, sis that people have got their
morals mixed. Nine-tenths of the peo-
pie think that nothing is wrong IN
less the law says it is. If they should
happen to land in a country where
stealing was unknown, and where, of
course, there would be no laws against
It, they would feel justified in stealing
Now, laws don't make crimes; crimes
make laws. If there wasn't law on
the statute books it would still be
wrong to kill, steal, cheat or commit
any other crime, but you can't get
people to understand that. Any mean,
overbearing, tricky or wrong action
that the law does not absolutely for
bid they will do; the inherent sense
of justice which is supposed to Turk
in every mans breast is largely a
myth"
"Why don't you preach that to your
clients?' asked his friend.
"And lose all my clients? No, thank
you," said the lawyer, Indignantly

turned to see whether the mate was
ready-I mean ready to have the ship
luffed, so that he could secure his aim
Il heard low, dull boom. and, as
whirled again, ball of smoke blew out
from the bows of our pursuer and
wreathed off to leeward.
"He's firing at the moon" said the
mate contemptuously, and now I saw
that the excitement had struck the
color from the mans cheeks, save for
a little patch of red which showed
under the sea-burn, and that his
nerves were strung high and firm.
'At the gum" called the captain
from the poop. "Are you ready, Mas
ter Sellinger?"
"All ready, sir!"
''Then to the braces, men! Luff!'
he roared back to the two fellows at
the helm.
The ship came handsomely into the
wind, and as she dipped to the bottom
of hollow the mate gave a swift
glance along his gun and applied the
Hnstock.
He had loaded while 1 was below,
and 1 knew not what the charge was,
but it must have contained a scat
ter-load, for l saw a tremendous dim
pie all over the water, just outside of
the Dutchman's forefoot.
"a good beginning!" shouted the
captain. "Have at him again!"
We got upon our course once more,
and meantime the gun was reloaded.
''Ha! he's showing his teeth at last!"
cried the mate, pausing with his fuse,
which he was blowing up in his hand.
He pointed toward the enemy, and
10! two ports in the bows had opened,
and in each was the round target spot
which marked the muzzle of gun.
HE has discovered that something
besides swivels will be needed" said
Mr.. lynn, who had come, without our
perceiving him, among us. NAY, but
he is about to give us the compliment
of his whole broadside."

things were attended to the mate dis

little we gave our sole attention to the
handling and better speeding of the
ship. The Dutchman's crippled fore
mast continued to fret him, but he
would not give over. and so for long
time we both kept ourcourse, though the
Industry all the while made a small but
steady gain. 1t must have been half
an hour after this that Master Sellinger
called me. and upon my responding said
that he must now retire to the cabin
for a little, the further disposition of
the voyage standing to be settled, and
that meanwhile was to command the
ship. With that, AMI upon my ascend
ing to the quarterback, he made a
sign to Mr.. lynn and they both went
below.
After little Mr.. lynn and the mate

thought, as it might be they had set
