The reasons why another reign of
terror was not recently inausurated in
France is thus stated by the Chicago
Times-Herald: "One hundred-flfty
twenty-five years ago these things
would have set the mobs going. They
would be throwing paving stones at
one another! Paving stones? All, there
Is the secret Of the whole matter. The
mobs have been robbed Of their am
munition. The people stand ready to
hoist the red flag and run riot, but
what nre the bare hands against maces
and muskets? The rioter stoops to pick
up q paving stone. and his fingers
scratch vainly along the smooth sur
face Of the asphalt with which most Of
tho streets Of Paris are now paved.
Cieli He ID helpless! He straightens
up and stares vaguely about him for .
moment. and then some commissary
Of police runs him in. Men and women
follow, shouting and shaking their
fists, but there are NO paving stones
for them to hurl. 80 the Republic
continues to stand. II II wonderful!

killing Of people by the SCORES. and

Had / arrived a few hours later,

Florence bowed her head In con-

resist 1t. But for this intervention. she
would indeed have fallen victim to It.

He gazed silently TT the pale, sweet
face raised SO imploringly to his. and
the reprOof died on his lips. He loved
this tender. yielding creature, with
her gentle unselflshness, and knew that
she was capable Of any sacrifice as soon
as strong hand guided and directed
her.
"Then show me that you can be
brave and steadfast when only my love.
not my presence. protects you." he re-
piled. II cannot stay with you as you
expect: my leave Of absence gives me
only few hours more. I must rejoin
my regiment today, and God alone
knows when shall be permitted to
see you again."
At his FIRST words Florence's fea-
lures expressed vague anxiety; now she
started In sudden terror.

she would lose him forever. and. ere he
reached It, she rushed forward. clasp

"William, don't leave me SO: You

"Then choose now." he said. Nov

4 MODEL ROAD.

san Luis Park Has Set Good Example
8. l. Hallett, in the Mining and Sci
entific Press, says:
while travelling in the San Luis
Park Of Colorado, observed peculiar
condition of roads that might be of in
terest to any one freighting In desert
region, where the sand Is very deep
and thick, and particularly of interest
to steam freighters, where good road
is really part of the machinery.
San Luis valley has once been the
site of an old lake, and the whole val
ley, with few exceptions, is very sandy,
loaded wagon sinking from four to
ten inches In the coarse sand. The
farmers in that section have placed on
the roads n covering of from six inches
to one foot of wheat straw. This they
cover again with n small amount of
sand, and this roadbed makes the fin
| est highway that have ever travelled
over in the country-springy, and yet
not allowing loaded wagon to sink
into 1t at all; perfectly good after a
rain or In the driest weather, 1t enables
| the farmers to haul three times as
much with the same power us though
1t were not there. The country being
very dry, it makes a lasting road, as
the wheat straw, after having been
.plOwed under for several years, when
brought to light, is as bright and fresh
us when 1t was first covered up, not
rotting in the slightest degree.
"rhe difference is very marked the
minute that you leave these roads and
get into the heavy sand. 1t is as cheap
as anything that could possibly be
placed on the road to better it. The
country is n large wheat-producing
one, and such straw as they do not use
is burned, owing to the fact that it will
not decOmpose when plowed under in
their wheat fields. The straw breaks
off in small pieces, being very brittle,
and seems to mix with the sand, form
ing an almost perfect macadam road.
Possibly it might be of benefit to
mines using steam wagons to try to
better their roads by this means, If
they have the wheat straw, or, If not.
with the best wild hay at their com
mand. The difference in the ease of
travel and the very marked difference
in the amount of load that can be
hauled strikes one forcibly."

Inventive Geniuaes.

An inventive engineer who has cur
ious idea of warfare has suggested n
plan for the annihilatiOn of the Beers
which, Mt least, has the advantage of
novelty. He says it was suggested to
him by an accident that occurred in
the power house of the Third Avenue
Cable railway in New York City a
couple of years ago. The fly wheel
which regulated the energy applied to
the movement of the street cars on that
railway, being improperly adjusted,
flew into thousand piees, which were
thrown with great destruction in ev-
cry direction. and his plan is to ship
a lot of fly wheels to South Africa, ad-
just them improperly and set them
whirling In the face Of Dom Pauls
army. All the British have got to do
is to wait until they explode and then
bury the dead In n decent manner.
Another great genius has suggested
the collection of a large quantity of
disease germs, and having elevated
them to proper height Wy ballon pow
er, Jerk string, open n valve and let
them drop like shower Of rain over

BUT Florence was silent. She only
cast beseeching glance at Edward:
out the latter knew his advantage too
well. He was aware that there was
sun one means Of parting the two
lovers, and did not delay using tho
weapon.

ferred for the present"
Roland had turned deadly pale: he
scarcely heard the last words; his eyes
rested only on Florence. At last. With
n violent effort he murmured, almost
unintelligibly:
You heard. What have you to say
Answer!"
Florence stood as II utterly crushed.
For the first time she realized how un.
pardonable her weakness had been,
and that the decision which she had
regarded as a sacrifice to fllial love
was really an act Of treason to the man
to whom her promise and her faith
were pledged. In the consciousness of
this guilt, she did not even attempt
to defend herself, but, instead Of an.
swering. burst into passionate weeping.
II know enough!" said William In a
hollow tone. FAREWELL"

wards eyes, but he exulted too soon.
