The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1899-04-28

The high-water mark of European
railway progress will probably be
touched in Europe by the continental
services between the channel ports and
Switzerland. There is no train in
Europe to match the speed of the Nord
de France between Paris and Amiens-
81 miles in eighty-fve minutes. The
Basic express covers the distance be-
tween Basic and London, 595 miles,
in fourteen hours and thirty-five min
utos, a speed of over forty miles an
hour, with two frontiers to be crossed
and twenty-five miles of ea-crossing.

be dismissed. his restless eyes gazea
round the room. Close by him on the
floor there seemed what looked like
shapeless blotch of green light.
AS he gazed at IL il slowly took
shape, and be remembered It was his
green cloak. which had been flung
down there and Law there in the sun
light, and under il he knew was hidden
his hunting horn. Hard by the cloak
was the narrow open window. In the
distance from the chapel he could hear
the sweet voices of the nuns singing.
Suddenly the thought came to him
that he could not die like this. like q
rat IN trap-a man that had fallen
into the hands of woman. With great
pain and eNertion he managed 20 crawl
from his bed and once more hang the
horn about his neck
Then slowly he climbed into the win
dow and leaned out. The fresh air fan
ned his face and seemed To revive him
somewhat. For a few moments he knelt
there. painting heavily. and then, bring
ing his horn TO his lips. he blew a call.
Family the sounds Coated away into
the distance Then he fell back, and
once more the swoon came back over
him.
The first thing of which he was con-
scious was confused sound. There was
the screaming Of women and the heavy
tramp Of feet. When he fully came 10
himself and opened his eyes, the great
guest hall was silent. but there were
many in it. The friar held him up.
Little John stood by his side. At the
farther end of the hall. in front of the
heavy oaken door, stood the men of his
band. ranged closely together and wait
ing his order.
"Give me water, " said Robin.
1t was brought him, and he drank.
And then, after pause, Little John
spoke.
Master. since it is by the foulest
treachery that you are now brought to
this pass, pray you TO grant the last
request that ever l shall make of you"
Speak on -
Firstly. that we may bear you hence
10 some safe place where haply you may
yet recover, aud then that we may burn
out this nest of singing birds, so that
not one of them is left alive. and not
one stone of all their buildings shall
stand upon another.
Robin smiled.
NAY Little John, " he said. when
did we make war on women: When
have we broken down the house that
was dedicated TO Our Lady? 1t is my
communicable since l die and shall
not recover. il is verify the last COM
maud that 1 shall give you-that you
leave these women IN peace and all
their house standing even as II is now,
taking nothing from them and doing
them no harm. and that you carry me
forth ana bury ne in the greenwood.
where my life has been spent"
Then, at his bidding, they gave him
his bow, and he would have strung Il,
but strength failed him. They bore him
TO the window and held him there up
right. Then Little John strung his bow
and gave il TO him and put an arrow
into his hand.
See, said Robin Hood where
this my last arrow falls there shall my
last resting place be. There bury me. "
Then with all his strength he drew
back the arrow aud loosed it. And il
sped far away in the sunlit air of the
evening, farther than eye could follow
And so he fell back into their arms
and died. Barry Pain in New York

After the dreams there seemed to fol-
low long wave of darkness, and when
this had passed and he had opened his
eyes he knew that he was dying.
A vague wonder went through his
mind whether it was by accident that
she had taken so much blood from his
arm, now tightly bandaged, or whether
it was of intention knowing him to be
one deserving of death and thinking
that in so doing she acted as the servant
of God and the king.

4 Famous CIaquer.

They say that Gertner, who was di-
rector of the claque at the famous
Deutches Volkestheater, Vienna, died Of
broken heart, but he left a fortune of
$50. GOO. This yarn has been deliberate
~ and sobeIly printed about him:
He came 10 the theater night after
night in different characters and cos
tunes and was never recognized as
claquer by those around him. Some
times he occupied a box, sometimes
seat in the stalls, sometimes he
posted himself in the gallery, but al
ways where he could indicate TO his
subordinates by a code Of signals previ-
ously arranged how and when TO applaud
without attracting undue attention.
Gertner has been seen sitting in box,
for which he himself paid, in an elegant
dress suit, with white tie and gloves,
and looking so distingue that no one
would have dreamed that he was a
claquer. When he raised his handker-
chief 10 his nose, a round of applause
followed. When he replaced the hand
kerchief in his pocket. the clapping
gradually subsidized.
Gertner came to grief in a curious
way. He was sitting in the stalls az an
important first night and fell asleep
during the play. \ particularly tragic
passage had been reached when Gertner
suddenly awoke with a start and COM
menced to applaud vigorously. The
house roared with laughter and the
piece was ruined Gertner was dismissed
in disgrace. Vienna Letter

Philadelphia Record: A rather un

down in soft, clinging flakes, and the

stopped in the course of her prone

display Of art ware, and while stand
ing there attracted the attention of d

was the practical joker. He reached
over and with the tip of his finger
traced on the snow covered umbrella
the words "Kiss me-" The owner of
the umbrella, ali Unconscious of the
fact that she was the object of much
attention, walked slowly on down the
street. Several rude young men,
who saw the inscription on the UNI
brella, peered rather boldly at tn.

by. This annoyed her so much thai

ment auspices, was negatived by the
committee of the National Educational
association which recently held ses-
sion at the national capital. tits, In
the opinion of the committee, one OF
the recognized functions OF the
federal government to encour-
age and aid, but not to
control, the educational Instrumental
ties of the country, yet there can be no
serious objection. they think, to gov
ornamental control of SO school for con-

resolution was referred to sub-com-

"That the government, through the
state department. might wisely main
tain in Washington school for con-
suls. analogous to West Point and

PROF. M. M. MARBLE, the head OF
the scientific department of the Hill
house High school, New Haven. Conn.,,
and we'll known for several inventions
in the line of applied physics, has just
finished work on q new system OF
wireless telegrsphy, and has al
ready tried his invention with
marked success. He explains his sys-
TEN on the ground of sound signals,
and claims for It greater durability and
accuracy than the invention OF Mar
conf. He uses the same main idea as
Marconi, and the other inventors. and
claims no originality for the funda-
mental principles underlying his sys-
tenn, though he says that the applica-
tion of the principle to the sound wave
is his own. He uses the regular re-
ceiving and sending instruments of
the older systems, but his coherer is
solid and smaller than Marconi's. That
of the latter contains vacuum and is
capable of more sensitive service than
his Own. Instead of the receiving
system of Marconi, Prof. Marble fuses
sound waves to transmit his messages,
and the receiver takes the message
down as from q telegraph. He will
set up his system shortly from his class
room in the school to his house and
expects to have full telegraph system
in operation.
