This world was on the eve of communicate

proved possible. Astronomers watching the
distant planet through lesser telescopes had
observed the attempts of the Martians to sig
nal us. They Were using system of great
planes and geometrical figures which formed
themselves into an understandable code.
Slowly was the big telescope focused on
the distant star. Distracted reporters
dashed around sending bulletins every five
minutes. Aged astronomers waited with
trembling anxiety for the great moment of
their lives. Hundreds of SMALL Ter telescopes
were carried along the range of the new op-
teal instrument.
"The Martians are signaling!" telegraphed
an excited correspondent; "in few min
utes more the signals will be read" At last!
An eager eye is glued to the glass. The
great figures on the plains of Mars move

message, the first to break the silence Of

THE FACTORY SYSTEM.
An Example of the Success of This
Method of Business in Wag-
ON Making.

In no field of production have Amer
lean skill, enterprise and ingenuity been
more fully displayed than in the devel-
opment of the manufacture of car
riages. In no line of production has the
factory systey more fully demon
strated its superiority.
Fifty years az lcarriages were made
mostly, if not Arely, by hand in small
shops scatteS over the country, in
which fros to 20 men were en-
ployed. For hbor saving machinery
there were'~a few saws and the lathe.
All other work was done by hand. Fifty
years ago ttSre were few carriages in
the Countrywide farm wagon, made in
the village shop, with wooden axles as
often as with iron, heavy and unwieldy
was the vehicle. The chaise, or the
pleasure carriage as it was called, was
the luxury of the very well-to-do. Even
if the roads had permitted their Use
they were so costly that people of mod
crate means could not own them. And
say what we will at election time, the
people who have means to purchase
arenow much larger part Of the whole
than so years ago.
But the handmade carriage would
have precluded its general use, as it is
used to-day, both because the people
would not be able to purchase and the
output would be insufficient. It was the
development of the factory system in
the manufacture of carriages as in the
manufacture of all the necessaries and
conveniences of life. In the factory
system capital, invention and skill meet
and out of the cooperation comes new
product with reduced price. A better
carriage can be furnished to-day for $50
than could be made for $3.50 under the
old method. The carriage at $3.50 was
the luxury of the well-to-do; the car
riage at $50 is the necessity of all who
live outside of cities and of many in
side. Brains, invention, capital and
skill have made immense carriage fac
tories here and there, and these i'm
mense establishment alone make cheap,
good carriages possible.-Indianapolis

CHAPTER K.-CoNr1SuEp.


Then we hurry back to the bridge,
where we find Wilton fighting the ad-
vance of the force on the west bank.
With the assistance of two captured
guns, the general leads us against the
advancing foe, and, falling upon it like
thunderbolt, puts it to rout.
But who is this pursy, red-faced,
wild-eyed little man squirting towards

is on his mind.

There is another scene which oc-
Cured after all was over, and when the
general and I were riding into the yard
of the plantation. The sun was at our
backs, and shining directly on the front
of the house, flooding it with bright
light. Looking up at the 'spook win
dow" as Walter had named it, there
again-was it human, or was it a
dream? I refined in my horse and
stared wildly at it. Surely could not
be in my senses. 1t was the same face
