Reducing Grades.

The contracts have been let by the
Receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road, for the proposed improve
ments on the line between Wheeling
and Pittsburg. A few miles south OF
Pittsburg there are two very bad hills,
one known as Whitehall. and the other
as Thomas. The grades on the pres
ent line, both sides Of Whitehall Sum-
init, are 1872 feet, plus the curvature,
eqIaling grade of 1876 feet per mile.
The grades at Thomas Summit are
1876 feet permile on the west side, and
rs to 104 feet on the east side. Both
Improvements will result in saving
of curvature of 600 degrees of central
angle. The new line will not exceed
65 feet per mile and will save about
$4,000 n pear In operation. The work
includes the building Of double track
with bridges and tunnels, one tunnel
being 1000 feet in length and the other
500 feet, and will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000.

CHAPTER JH.-(CoNrrNuEpl
~ NJ. r. CALDoR.

Astonished at his own daring, Ber-
hard had scarcely expected she would
grant reply. His surprise equaled his
transport. as the beautiful head droop-
ed forward to his shoulder, and the
quivering lips whispered.
Whatever you are, peasant or noble
! -recluse, magician, l know not what
or whence-l love You now"
One moment her hands were cover
ed with frantic kisses, and she was
pressed passionately to his breast The
next he had put her away and stood
pallid, cold. and statue-like while he
murmured:
'"Avaunt, tempter, my love shall not
destroy her in her beauteous innocence,
her tender help'essneas. Eiolante, /
am an outcast from happiness; ! dare
not, through your love, drag you into
the privations of my own lot. | shall
love you, shall bless you, shall
watch over you. but renounce you"
Scarcely knowing what she was do
ing, pallid, trembling, Lady Violante
crept away from sight OF that anguish
ed, yet stern and resoute face; and
in the privacy Of her own room in
dulged the grief that so now and unac-
customed, was all the more terrible to
bear.
The first news that greeted her when,
pale and weary with a night of watch
ing, she entered the drawing-room the
next morning. was that the stranger
guest had vanished. disappeared mys-
teriously in the night. Hiding her
blanched face from her fathers inquis.

lines:
God keep you'll shall never forget.
Remember, in the hour OF need, the
whistle and the four blasts"
Hiding this precious assurance that
all which had transpired there was not
a dream, Lady Violante turned away
with faltering steps. Fortunately she
had strength to reach her own room;
once there she locked the door, and
was not seen again that day.

row boat, however, extended, seeming
ly undermining the rocky base of the
huge crag; but a broad fiat stone,
mossy and Shiny with the perpetual
damp, barred closer exploration into
the gloomy cavern in which the cave
appeared to terminate. A small schoon-
er was passing along the water just
at sunset, few afternoons subsequent
TO the disappearance of Bernard from
Beauvais Chateau, bearing at its peak
peculiar pennant. The field pure and
white, and relieved only by a cabalis-
tic figure of inky blackness.
A close observer would have marked
that when in range Of the cliff, the
schooner went through simple ma
noeuvre, evidently intended as sig
nal of some kind. The pennant was
lowered and raised again three times.
after which, from the one little cave
alluded to, shot up light like that of
rocket, saving that the bright sparks
fell away again instantaneously, where
upon from the movement on board the
strange craft, it was evident she was
preparing to lay by--for short time
at least. When the deepening shades
mingled all objects in one undistin-
guishable mass of blackness, small
beat was lowered from the schooner
and sent swiftly over the water toward
the cave. When the keel grated against
the rock, the oarsman rose UP, and
gave three low, but distinct whistles,
nI,
tall figure rose up from another skiff
moored there.
"Qui vive? is it you, Pierre?" asked
the deep, musical voice of the last
"No, not Pierre, but Christopher, NJ
Bernard"
"All the same, as you bring my un-
cle's message and supplies. Shove the
boat farther into the cove, lest some
busy-body stumble upon it. We will
unload it presently. Come up the cliff
into the cave, where We are secured
from eayes-droppers. Since you are
trusted with the signals, l cannot doubt
your fidelity"
The sailor Christopher obeyed the
directions, and then came scrambling
up the precipitous side of the cliff It
was not dark enough TO hide the out
line of surrounding objects, but still
too secure 10 make so uneven a path
way as that he was treading at all COM
Portable. and Christopher muttered
something very like an oath, as for the
third time he stumbled and went
sprawling upon the ground.
"It Is no smooth playground" OBJ
served Bernard, himself limping slow
ly and painfully, "but therein lies its
security--its rugged steepness does not
tempt idle curiosity, but we are almost
there, so keep up your courage, my
brave Christopher"
They strobe on In silence until they
reached the Topped larch tree. Just
beyond 1t, in the steep bank OF earth
and stone, was a huge rock apparently
immovablly imbedded there.
Here Bernard paused, and gave three
soft, low whistles. Instantly, as II by
magic, noiselessly and steadily. the
great rock moved away, and they pass
ed into narrow subterranenan cham
ber. feebly lighted by hanging Ian
tern. At singular arrangement OF
chains and wheels stood the slender

am unable to trace any reliable evil
dence Of English watches having been
made until quite the end Of the six
teenth century, although German and
French productions were imported
earlier, says Good Words. Derham. in
the second edition of his Artificial
Clockmaker,' published in 100, men
tions an eight-day watch which he was
told belonged to Henry VIII, but the
context clearly shows a weight time
piece is referred to. Among the pos
sessions of Edward VI, as quoted by
Wood from a royal household book, is
lone larum or watch of iron. the case
being likewise iron gilt with two plum
mettes Of led" The first words of this
description may seem to indicate a
watch with handspring, but such an
assumption is at once dispelled by the
mention of the ''plummettes of led. :"
That Elizabeth owned a large number
of watches is certain. In 1871 the earl
of Leicester gave 10 his royal mistress
ohc al VI VI kOkue, all
over failely garnished with rLbyes and
diamonds, haveing in the closing there
of clocke." From this it will be seen
that the modern custom of wearing the
watch in a wristlet is but revival Of
sixteenth century fashion. II is said
that Mary Queen Of Scots had two
deaths head" or skull watches, which
she presented, one to each of two fav-
orite maids Of honor. Among others

Scottish queen Octavius Mosgan men

and the other an octagonal watch. The
latter, It is asserted, was given by Mary
to Joha Knox the reformer. The pos
session Of many witc,..s Is ascribed to
James l., but such as he did possess
do not appear to have been utilized as
timekeepers on every occasion, for in
Savile's record of a stated journey to
Theodald's in 1903 it is stated that the
king stopped at the Bell at Edmon-
ton. and, wishing to count the number

ing, knelt Lady Violante, in the high
! antique library, with clasped hands
and fearful eyes, asking piteously of
her proud, stern father
"Oh, my father, have mercy upon me,
/ beseech you. l love not Count Ger
main-force not upon me so uncongen-
ial husband nor yet compel me to dis
obey your commands
Perverted, misguided giiiv' answer
ed the Count angrily. "can + not see
what has brought this sudden change?
How long since Emile was the compan-
ceived warmer smiles than any of all
your admirers could boast? Have you
not known and understood this long
time what his visits meant? l blush
for you! 1t is this unknown, low-born
fellow, who fled from the Chateau like
very thief-it is he who has wrought
this change-peste! I would he had
brok-l his neck instead Of his ankle,
/ might have been wiser than to have
allowed you such free ingress to his
room. Emile warned me against It, but
counted too strongly on the pride that
should fiji the heart of a Beauvais."
DO you wish me to understand there
is no hope Of escaping marriage with
Count Emile, except by directly OPP
posing my own to my fathers will?"
asked she.
'5 mean you should understand there
is no escape whatever. AS you well
know, a fathers will Is law am the

ton demand. Wen All visit Paris

Look to It. Violante, that you conduct
yourself as a Boauy7is if you would
receive a fathers affection or bless
ing"
4 hard, cold expression settled down
upon Violante's beautiful face.
Il have no mother to appeal to-" she
said, bitterly. What is the blessing of
a father who cares more for his own
will than for my happiness? Yet |
shall not dare disobey you!"
"Perverse child" said the Count. af-
fected deeply at the sight of her woe
begone face. II am acting for your
true happiness. AS for that deceitful
Bernard, let him beware. Count Emile
Is upon his track"
Violante started, and terrible fear
crept over her. She remembered what
Bernard had said, and the urgent warn
ing of the latter against betraying him
self to the Germans. What If his rash
resolve to watch over her should lure
him to his own destruction? How or
in what way the fatal web OF mystery
connected him with Count Emile she
knew not; but the very vagueness of
her fears made them more alarming
She hurried away from her fathers
presence, and holding her throbbing
forehead in her hands, tried to discover
some safe and speedy way Of warning
Bernard, who she felt convinced was
somewhere concealed around the mys-
terious and lonesome cliff. She rose
the window to look out. 1t was a calm
starry sky, and peace and silence seem
ed to fall upon the sleeping earth like
a benediction from the sparkling sem
tinels above. An earnest. resolute pur-
pose came to her. She called Celeste
and bade her bring her mantle and
