times OF which his watchers knew
nothing-eyen back TO days OF early
boyhood, when he and Roddy had
tshed together In Gadie's silvery
stream, and never dreamed Of Jealousy
or severance In years to come.
BY and by. as the days heightened
into weeks, there came lucid intervals,
and when he awoke weak and we'll

even as he strove to speak that deadly
ohliyion would return and blot out past

And meanwhile Lille watched by
him and waited upon him with a ieai-

For she saw his strength eooing
hour by hour as the fever worked out

as they neared the white cliffs Of Eng

ftful slumher Don opened his eyes and
hxed them upon her face 1t was ap-
preaching the hour when she usually
relinquished her post TO the nurse, and
she was kneeling by his side in silent
prayer, her cheek resting upon his pill
low, her locked hands leaning gently
on his breast.
A strange reluctance to leave him
had fallen upon her, and more than
once she had passionately pressed her
lips to the short, silky brown curls
about his temples.

1t was barely above a whisper, but
she heard 1t with a great bound of her
beating heart, for she knew this was
real consciousness at last.

family that she had to stoop close to
his lips to catch the words, where are

hours we shall be in the solent."
She was astonished that he mani
tested no surprise. 1t was as If his
active brain had been speeding on
ward with the ships throbbing en-
gines; as II he, too, while his fragile
barqne drltted towards the unknown
shore. had been dimly conscious of the
great sea OF time and space.

bored difficulty. when we reach

Hot tears welled up into her eyes

again. SO family she could scarcely

she broke down then. and flung her
self upon his breast.

SPEED OF STEAMSHIPS.
Extremely Fast Time Can BE Made. but
Mt Great Cost.

The naval constructors say that 1t
is not impossible to build a ship that
will cross the Atlantic in four days,
but they do not consider it practicable
to maintain that rate of speed, because
1t will cost more than it will come to.
The quickest time up TO date was made
by the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse OF
the North German Lloyd company,
which made the 2.7S0 knots between
Queenstown and Sandy Hook n five
days seventeen hours and twenty sew
EN- minutes. The new Deutschland of
the Hamburg american company Is to
be driven at the rate of twenty-three
knots and make the voyage in fye
days. Now the North German Lloyd
company has just ordered a still faster
steamer, whose name has not been an
nounced. 1t will be 752 feet long,
have engines Of 10000 horsepower
capable of driving her at the rate of
twenty-five knots, so as to make the
voyage in four days and fifteen hours.
1t will be the largest as well as the
fastest vessel afioat The largest
steamer at present is the Oceanic of the
White Star line, which is T04 feet long,
but makes no pretensions for speed.
Shipbuildlng has become an exact sci
ence, and the constructors can tell you
what speed can be attained by YES
sci II they know her horsepower, the
diameter of her propellers and her con
sumption of coal 1t is simply prob
lem in mathematics. Any steamer
built on ordinary lines can be driven
AT given rate of speed provided she has
the engines and the coal capacity, but
the amount of coal consumed increases
very rapidly with the speed. For ex-
ample, it requires twice as much coal
to drive steamer at a speed of fifteen
knots as would be consumed at a speed
of ten knots. and four times as much
to send the same vessel eighteen knots
For every knot beyond that speed, to
speak in general terms. the consump-
tion of coal viii be doubled. Hence
the naval constructors hold that the
consumption of coal required to cross
the Atlantic in four days will make
such voyage impracticable from a
commercial standpoint.

The LoaE-SeEIeeted Harrison Mansion

Is to be preserved in commemoration
OF the iliustrious men who have been
sheltered within It's walls. II was built
in 1914 by Gen. William Heny Harrt-
son, who presented II to his bride.
There he dwelt until he went to the
White House, and where his nine chill
tiren and his illustrious grandson,
Benjamin Harrison. were born. At
the time the house was built Harri-
son was governor OF the Northwestern
Territoy, and as the conqueror OF Te-
cumseh was a national hero. Those
were exciting days. times OF great per-
sonal danger, and no conveniences,
and the Harrison mansion. simple as
IL was. was regarded then as aristo-
cratic and stately. The hospitality OF
its halls was famous. Not day pass
ed that It did not afford entertainment
for many guests. 1t is said that on
occasions no less than sixty guests sat
down together at the long mahogany
tables in the great sun-lit dining hall.
II is said that the bride was not con-
tent unless her cook served three
kinds of meat on the festive board at
times when cattle were scarce, when
settlements were hundreds Of miles
apart. But wild duck and the fish in
the rivers were plentiful, and no
group OF strangers or guests ever pass
ed the gate in their days journey who
were not begged to remain and share
the prodigal generosity of their host
and hostess. In those days the estate,
now sadly dwindled to seven acres,
was composed OF 500 acres. From
Gen. Harrison the estate passed to his
son, John Scott Harrison, a gentle,
amiable man. with no financial abil-
ity. He lived there until his death in
1878, his property gradually diminish
ing until at his death he was actu-
ally a dependent. Benjamin Harrison
was born there and 1t was his home
until his marriage. when he moved to
Indianapolis. For years the old
house has been vacant. The gardens
have been overrun with wild, insolent
weeds, the fields deserted, the great
rooms and halls lonely and dead. Not
even the ghost of former laughter and
hospitality has echoed for years along
its spiral staircases. The spider, pitt
fui tenant, has swung his tent ropes
from rafter to rafter. The lofty heads
of the old oaks sigh among their lofty
crests at the saddened picture.
