CHAPTER VII. CONTINUED

CHAPTER VII,-(Contlnued)
My hitherto matter-of-fact life had
suddenly received It's Baptism" OF
mystery and romance; and with II an
other initiatlon-that supreme rovela-
tlon which comes but once In mans
life, and having come, leaves Its mark
upon II forever-the revelation OF
love.
"Your message, sir" said the tele-
graph clerk at my elbow, | tore open
tho yellow envelope, and read
"Molton Junctlon-No Gladstone
bag left here, or inquired for to-day"
Then Miss Branscombe had not dis
covered her mistake. Moreover, her
destination was some point beyond
Motion, or she would certainly have
had time to detect tho change OF bag

sent a message TO Miss Elmslie at
Forest Lea, announcing my return
that night and requesting that II con-
venlent carriage might meet me at
the station, and then prepared to
get through as best might the hours
OF supense which lay before me,
My heart beat faster as the evening
express neared Motion Junction, was
on the platform almost as soon as the
train stopped. The station was UNI
usually quiet, and the platform clear
from one end to the other; there was
no sign OF the slight, graceful figure
for which sought eagerly, did not
give up hope until the last moment,
After hurried inquiry at the cloak
room fingered by the carriage door
until the train was absolutely In mo-
tlon, and then resumed my seat with a
blank chill Of disappointment. Miss
Dranscombe was evidently not return
Ing to Forest Lea that night.

and professlonally-occupled no place

forgotten the lesser misfortune in what
seemed to me the greater-the dlsap-
pearance OF Miss Branscombe from her
home. That she was the victim OF

her cousin | never doubted, the rec
tors precautions had been taken too
late. Possibly had ! spoken of last

Miss Branscombe, rising languidly
from her chair.

said Miss Elmslie, starting up and taxi

not say goodnight, Mr., Fort; you have
not finished your supper Please don't
hurry--I am coming back"
Miss BransCombe bowed and held
out limp, nerveless hand as l opened
the door for her exit. She shiyered Just
a little, too, and drew her shawl moro
closely about her, but there was nell
Their guilt nor confuslon-only weari-
ness and sorrow-in the eyes which
met mine for an instant. Then the
two ladies crossed the hall and mount
ed the Wide shallow stairs.
Miss Blmslie came down presently.
Poor child" she said "she Ia abso-
lutely worn out! She has cried the
whole day. l hope she will sleep now;
that Is the best restorer. She has had
no sleep yet"
My first glance on gaining my bed
room was toward the Gladstone bag
which stood beside my portmanteau.
Mona had probably taken the opportu-
nifty of making the exchange quietly
In my absence-she had shown her

amongst my own possessions lay the

were the penciled words, mona

her gray dust cloak, and carrying in
her hand my Gladstone bag, with

would have been prevented. A girl,
inexperienced, innocent, confiding--
as, in spite Of all, could swear Mona
was-might have been drawn Into any

INTERESTING ITEMS.

Great Britain pays $9O, 900 900 annuv
ally to America and the English col
onies for butter. The people who buy
high-price butter want 1t sweet and
fresh, and this is possible only when
the COWS are eating spring grass. As
1t is not always spring In England It
stands to reason that butter has to be
brought from those places where
spring is. First the Londoner gets his
butter from west England, Normandy
and Brittany. Then the butter Of
northern Denmark follows and Austria
liam butter comes next-English winter
Is Australian spring.
In a recent lecture by Dr. Charles B.
Dudley, chief chemist Of a certain rail-
road, 1t Is shown how the costs OF the
dlstinctlvely little things mount up In
the offices Of large railway system.
For instance, he shows that 1t costs
the railroad each year about $1,000 for
pins, $4,000 for rubber bands, $4,000
for ink, $1,000 for lead pencils, ETC. The
fact that 1t costs nearly as much for
stationery with which to carry on the
business as 1t does for iron, as DR.. Dud-
ley asserts, is indeed startling. Some
roads have realized the extent Of waste
In such directions aud have, among
other measures, ordered that a large
part of the communications between
their various officials shall be written
on pads OF manila paper instead Of on
regular letter heads.
There Is no one from John O'Broat's
to Lands End, England, who bestows
more Of his means to philanthropic
causes than Lord Overtoun, to whom
his father, James White, left a fortune,
closely approaching $10,0O0,OO0. Sew
enty-odd years ago the father OF Lord
Overtoun and his brother John took
possession of an old soap and soda
works near Rutherglen and converted
1t into a factory for the production OF
blchloride Of potash. 1t Is related Of
the founder of the business that he was
wont to stand inside the gate of his
works at night and II he found any
particles Of chrome--a chemical for
which he received 20 cents a pound in
those days-adher!ng to boots or
clothes he would stop the man with

chemical works at Rutherglen, was
created first Baron Overtoun In 1893,
taking the title from his estate in
charlottesville. He was born in
1S43 and was educated at Glasgow uni

for Dumbartonshire, Is president of In

EFFORT TO MEASURE.

New oYrk Evening Post: William r.
Eddy's second balloon for timing the
wind velocity at high attitudes left the
earth at Bayonne, N. j., at 1922 o'clock
last evening. 1t went up almost directly
to a height of 1890 feet. It's velocity in
creased rapidly after reaching it's high
est point. A very light win from the
northwest carried it across the Kill Won
Kull to Staten Island, where it lande at
7:4O D. m. in a tree top on the grounds of
J. T.. Faber at Davis avenue near Rich
mond terrace. 1t was rescued in a torn
condition and the postal card suspended
below it, giving the time the balloon
reached the earth was sent to Eddy at 8
p. m.
The wind velocity from start to finish
was only three and a half miles an hour,
as measured by the balloon. The Weather
Bureau at New York at the same time
recorded a wind velocity of hve miles an
hour. Owing to the calm the distance
Travelled by the balloon was only one and
a quarter miles in IS minutes. At about
9. 900 feet of altitude the balloon moved at
the rate of a slow walk, but at 4,9OO feet
it's speed was easily doubled. Its motion
was greatly retarded, both at the start
and at the landing, by the calm at the
earth.
The balloon was influenced by three
radically different currents of air in its
fight. The first was a light surface cur
rent from the southeast, extending up
ward to a height of about 100 feet. The
escond was a sustained upper current
from the northwest. The third was a light
surface current on Staten Island from the
west.

FROM POVERTY TO FORTUNE.

A report is now circulating through the
country hat "Swiftwater Bill" the
famous klondike millionaire, is none
other than a Red Wing, Mimi, boy who
used to be known as William Anloff. He
is now about thirty years old, and rich
enough to buy out his native town sew
eral times.
His father was Louis Anloff. a steam
boat captain, who CAV up his profession
and lived in a hOuseboat a few miles be-
low Red Wing. One day his wife left him
and Charles Helmke. an uncle, adopted
the boy. In the summer time he peddled
vegetables, and one winter he attended
school. One day While peddling vegeta-
bles, he exclaimed:
This life is hell; I'm going away"
He did go away, away to make a for
tune. He was then fifteen years old. He
reached Washington state, and secured
employment around the mines. He soon
made enough money to go to Chicago and
talk mining to capitalists. A syndicate
at Chicago became interested IN the
young man and his general knowledge of
the mining business, and engaged him to
go with a company to the Rainy Lake re-
gion to prospect for gold, a venture which
proved a failure.
This was nine years ago. In 1893 he
went to he Klond.ke, and struck it rich
from (Hc start. 1T lOoh Cl ~ CldllIS,
and the yellow metal was found in
abundance. From the time he left Red
Wing until then, he went by the name of
William c, Gates. In the Kiondike he
! rode across White Horse Rapids, the first
man to successfully accomplish the feat,
and it was this hat gave him the name
of saltwater Bill.

sion, and spent millions for her pleasure
| and comfort. A year ago he visited the
United States. Boxes filled with gold
| nuggets were carried from the ship and
! valued at millions. Finally he went to
England andassociated himself with Felix
| Mcdonald, a London millionaire.
It is said that he is worth $l5, 600, 900. A
few years ago he found his mother, who
was doing missionary work among the
miners around Skagway. He now sup
ports her. His father a few years age
married a Millionaire widow and is now
residing in California.
Thus runs the rather highly f1avored
story of this world-waif. The family, il
would appear, takes to millions kindly
