THE NOVEL MOVED HER.
How Girl On An Electric Train
Acted Out a Plot.

New York Mail and Expressly
In a crowded elevated car from Har
lem the other day, sat stout girl wh'
was a perfect blonde She wore a silir
waist, once white, but no longer tn,
freshest, and her entire appearance in
dictated a desite for stylish costume
without the money TO maintain it.
AS the train sped along through the
early gray mist of the morning, the
passengers jolted sleepily about or laz-

fog and darkness could not obscure. !,
While she read her lips moyed stead

When the train neared One Hundred
and Fourth street the plot Of the story
evidently began to grow liz interest.
The giri's eyes were glued'to the pages,
and she shook her head meaningly, as
if she were the actual heroine of the
plot. and she felt it 10 be her duty to
inform her cold. cruel and designing
parent that she would not marry the
richN villain, though she were turned
away from home.
AT Eighty-ninth street she grew sud-
denly naughty. The.rich and handsome
villain evidently was on the scene and
was. no doubt, telling the heroine-pre-
sumably 'Gladvs" that unless she
married him instantly he would wreck
her poor old fathers business and leave
him penniless. Gladys" seemed to be
uttering some fine sentiments, for the
girl tossed her head and her eyes flash
ed as she read on.
Again there was quiet spell between
the yellow covers, but at Forty ninth
street there was more trouble for
Gladys" 1t seemed that the hero
rushed into her presence to hide from
the men who were pursuing him. Per-
haps he had been unjustly accused of
the murder Of his rich cid uncle, At
all events, the girl with the book began

to be telling the prosecuted hero that
she would never creeit the report. and

head back against the window pane, in
lieu of the hero's manly shoulder.
The villain must have come in upon
them suddenly about Forty-second
street, and accused the hero of his
crime. for she tossed her head defiantly.
as she read the heros bitingly sarcastic
words. and heard the villain hiss
through his teeth thai he was fooled
again.
By the time the train reached Four
teenth street a tear of compassion
trickled slowly down the girls cheek
The hero suddenly had been seized and
dragged to prison. She was the picture
of misery:
At Canal street the climax was APP

haps, been stabbed by one IF his vic

confession that cleared the hero
The train slowed down. A look of SUI

face. Gladys and the hero were united
afte- all.
Chatham scuarer called out the
guard, and the girl with blonde hair
came back to earth and closed her
novel with a sigh.

a curved line
Nov the Golden Gate is in the temple
wall, but at that time the city wall
was from fifty to sixty-five feet outside
OF the wall of the temple. Necessarily
there must have been a gate in the
city wall at This point, but it was not
a eouble, only single gate like all
the other city gates. After Jesus had
ridden through this gate and ap-
preached the temple gate. he had TO
get down from his ass; nor would he
have been permitted TO ride through the

John Study, late of Kimberley. South

finance-who. from a personal knowl-
edge of the subject. describes how the
first diamond was discovered. which
led to the building up-of the beleaguer-
ed city of Kimberley. and how Cecil
Rhodes laid the foundation of his colos-
sal wealth and power.
1T was in 1862 says Mr.. Study,

pioneer of the Rhodes family fortune
at Du Toitspan. where we Joined in the

Both brothers were very popular at

of the Hastings court of this city, on
the charge of OBTAINING Miss LESSEE B.
Rodgers. of Highland county, in a
house of i'll fame against her will and
who was taken to the penitentiary the
latter part of April, is said to be tired
of prison life and is now seeking par
don. A petition was circulated here
some days ago in which it was set forth
that Todd was losing bis eye sight and
that his health was failing him and
that the prisoner could not live another
Year if kept in the penitentiary. On
these conditions Judge Grattan, before
whom Todd was tried. Common
wealth's Attorney Carter Braxton,
who so ably prosecuted him, and the
jury who found him guilty, signed the
said petition A member of the jury,
however, was not fully satisfied that
the facts set forth in the petition were
correct, SO he wrote to an official of the
penitentiary to make further inquiry.
In due time a response came stating
that Todd's eye sight was no worse
than when he entered the prison and
that his condition otherwise was as
good as on the day he was received
there. This letter, we understand.

numbfr of the Jurymen who had been
misled in affixing their names to the

be proper. Todd was sent for 8 years
