French Express Trains.

Improvements in the speed of GER
tain trains on the Northern Railway Of
France are attracting attention in Eu-
rope just now. The distance between
Calais Pier and the Nord Station in
Paris is 1855 miles. Some trains make
the trip in less than four hours, or at
the rate of fifty or more miles an hour.
One, which runs only four days a week,
the Mediterranean train de luxe, COW
ers the distance in three hours and a
quarter, which is equal to fifty seven
miles an hour. This run is made with
out stop. The fastest time made on
a daily train on the Northern Railway
of France is three hours and half, or
fifty-three miles an hour. One of the
London newspapers, referring to the
topic, says that the nearest approach
to this speed in England are these two:
The trip is made from Paddington to
Exeter, 1914 miles, in three hours, and
forty-three minutes, or at the rate of
80 miles an hour, and from Euston
to Liverpool, 1882 miles, in three hours
and three-quarters, or at the rate of
Ole miles an hour. 1t is interesting to
compare with these figures the running
time of the Empire State express. This
train covers 444 miles in eight hours
and a quarter, which represents an
average speed of 53.S miles an hour.

CHAPTER V

The autumn was come; the golden glory
of summer had given way to it. The
luxuriant trees made the woods a pic
ture. The yellow leaves lay in dank
heaps. the corn had all been cut and car
ried the fruit gathered; the cleaning was
longer, and the sunset had clouds of deep
er crimson.
The little town of Lilford had expert
enced a social earthquake. The great trial
of Lonsdale versus Hartman had been
decided, and the verdict was against OAR
cy Lonsdale; the will was declared null
and void, and the whole of the property
was to be given to James Hardman.
Il shall never hold up my head again."
said Darcy Lonsdale, with a deep sob.
Il shall never look my fellow-men in the
face"
That his old friends should have be-
lieved this of him panied the brave honest
heart. He had long illness, from which
it was feared at first that he would never
recover.
1t was a dreary time. The business
fell away; the townspeople said to each
other that they could not trust a man of
whom such things had been said-they
could not leave their interests in his
hands. One after another the old names
disappeared from his books. Men he had
known all his simple life fought shy Of

were some CLEANS of comfort; one of
them neither father nor son ever forgot
1t was an evening in October, dark and
chill. For the first time the invalid had
come downstairs, and the weight of anx-
iaty upon him was like a weight of lead
Those We're days of strict economy in
Vale House. There was no tempting
fruit for the feeble appetite, no generous
wine to give strength to the feeble frame.
The best medicine that the invalid had
were the cheering, kindly words of his
wife, the love of his son.
That evening Felix came home late
from his office; he was tired, owing to the
hard work and ill-fortune of the day. He
fought nobly with misfortune, but he
fought in vain. His kind face frightened
when he saw letter for him. 1t must
be from Violet. Oh, to escape, if only
for one hour, and sun himself in the light
of her presence! He saw her so seldom
now. He was hard at work during the
day, and the nights were so cold for
walks and rambles. He occasionally
went over to The Lines but the welcome
that he received there was not of the
warmest, but he could not see Violet
alone.
He took up the letter with a smile and
read it. 1t was not from Violet, but
from her father, Francis Haye, saying
that the marriage must be deferred at
least year, as he was quite sure that
under the circumstances Felix could not
hamper himself with a wife. violet

he would see;" and indeed there was
rose-tinted, sweet-scented note from Vio-
let-just a few lines-to the effect that
she thought her father was right.

LIVE IN The COUNTRY.

The Beet Literary Work is Done by Men
Whose Homes Are Outside the Cities.
''See for moment how the matter Of
residence affects literary people, with
whose work, naturally, am familiar"
writes Edward Box, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, of The American Man
and the Country" ''Pick out the sue
cessful writer's of the day and see
where their homes are. Scarcely in
single instance will you find one of
them living in the city. On the other
hand, look at the work done by your
literary denizen of the city and see how
it suffers in comparison with that of
the man or woman whose mind rests on
Gods own handiwork. Such writers
are like pygmies compared to the men
who with fresh minds look over Gods
landscape and reflect the deepest and
truest thoughts of real men and wom-
en-. See how an author-and this is a
constant occurrence-livingi in some re-
mote country place does a great piece
of work, and then, allured by false
prophets, removes to the city and con-
tinues his work there. Is his work the
same? Verify, it is not Degeneration
takes place as soon as he removes him
self from mans truest surroundings.
And what is true to-day Of men in lit
erary work is equally true of men in
the kindred arts. The great work of
the world is being done to-day by men
whose lives are spent away from the
great cities"

Presently Mrs. Lonsdale said, musing

it?''
"Say?" cried Felix. "She will be in

They talked until long after midnight;
they looked the evil in the face. If they
went to law, and the law was against
them, what then? They would be dread
fully embarrassed for ready money. The
nursery governess must go. but they could

for the first time under that hospitable
roof the young lover felt i'll at ease.
When he laid the volume on the table,
Mr.. Haye took it up.

Them" said Mr.. Haye, briefly.
When he had said goodnight to the
two seniors and asked Violet if she would
walk to the gate with him, Mrs. Haye
interposed.
1T is too cold" she said. ''Violet has
been complaining of headache all day;
she must not go out"
And the tone was so decided, so stern,
that Felix could not oppose Mrs. Haye.
He held Violet's hand one minute in his;
he tried to look into the depths of her
beautiful eyes, but they dropped from
his, and he could not see them. He left
her with few whispered words, feeling
more unhappy than he had ever felt be-

For the first time he noticed that night
look of anxiety on his fathers face.
Nor was the mystery lessened when ON

on her daily round of shopping, met the
wears wife, Mrs. Hunter, who stopped
to speak to her.

asked quietly what affair she meant She
looked so entirely Unconscious that the
wears wife was surprised.
"Have you heard no bad news of-of-
amy one?" she asked; and Kate answer
ed:
"No."
Then Mrs. Hunter related some trifing
little story; and even as she related it
Kate told herself that she was inventing

.'You are not telling me what was in

she said. What were you thinking of,
Mrs. Hunter?"
But Mrs. Hunter after laughingly par
rying the remark. hastily said good-morn-
ing in a very embarrassed fashion, and
walked away.
Mrs. Lonsdale went home with a ter
rife sense of foreboding. Her pretty
house seemed almost to Cypress her. She
wished that she had not burdened herself
with nursery governess; as for the new
silk dress, it no longer gave her the least
pleasure. What was this cloud hanging
over her husband and her children? Was
it only nervous fancy, or was there evil
looming in the distance?
She was soon to know; and when she
did know it proved to be even greater
than she feared.

PICTURESQUE Characters of the Western

"A picturesque figure in American

Hatfield, of Texas, who is registered

OF fiction, the man with the big SOM
brero. the bucking broncho and the
shooting irons that he used to operate
with reckless disregard for conse-
quences as he rode at breakneck
speed through some frontier town, yell
ing the while at his loudest Such was
the cowboy of dime novel fame, and,
though the assertion has often been de-
MED, he has existed and does exist yet
In limited numbers. 1t is this class of
the cowboy that is rapidly disappear
ing.
The cowboy of practical existence,
or cow puncher,' as he is known in the
vernacular of the plains, is an impor-
tant factor in Western life. He wears
a sombrero and can sit a bucking
broncho with all the grace Of his more
romantic brother, but his shooting irons
are for use in guarding his herd from
cattle thieves rather than the terrori-
cation of peaceful citizens and he is as
hard worked and industrious a citi-
zen as you viii met with in a days
travel. INSTEAD of leading the wild life
of nomad, he is more likely to have
a wife and several young hopefuls at
the ranchhouse. He works hard, be-
cause he has to, and If his guns are
ever taken from his holsters it is for
the same reason. We have a great
many more undesirable citizens in this
country than the Texas COW puncher."

good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afflict their delicate or

catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is a specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. ANY congestion of a mucous

to Firing on Legations.
The State Department Thursday morn

not in the form or nature G an ultima

its friendliness, shall cooperate With the
relieving column. Following is the text
of note:
We are availing ourselves OF the oppor-
tunity offered by the imperial ed.ct OF Aug.

munieation with their respective govern
ments In cipher, and have sent communica-
ton TO Minister COnger, TO which We await

troops are fring daily upon the ministers IN
Picking. We demand the immediate cessa-
ton of hostile attacks by imperial troops
upon the legations and urge the exercise OF
every power and energy of the imperial gov
eminent for the protection of the legations
and all foreigners therein.
We are also advised by the same dispatch
from Minister Conger that, in his opinion,
for the foreign ministers TO leave Picking, as
proposed in the edict of Aug. 2, would be
certain death. In view of the fact that the
Imperial troops are now nf1ng upon the lesd-
lions, and in view of the doubt expressed Oy
the imperial government in its edict of Aug.
as to its power to restore order and secure
absolute safety In Picking, Ii is evident that
this apprehension Is well founded, Tor II
your government cannot protect our minis
ter In Peking it viii presumptively, be UNI
able TO protect him upon journey from

We therefore urge upon the Imperial gov
eminent that it shall adopt the course sug-
gested In the third clause of the letter of
the President to His Majesty the Emperor
Of China, of July %, 1900, and enter into
communication with the relief expedition so
that cooperation may be secured between
them FOR the liberation of the legations, the
protection Of foreigners and the restoration
of order Such action on the part of the
imperial government would be a satisfactory
demonstration of its friendliness and desire
to attain these ends.
