STATE LINES.

Alabama has fine old capitol, set on
a hill, and rich in historical associations,
but it has no governors mansion, and is
beginning to think it needs one.
New Jersey has the largest hothouses
in the country devoted exclusively to the
cultivation of orchids. Four hundred va
reties may be found there, almost every
tropical and subtropical country being
represented.
Private contributions secure at least 20
travelling libraries in the rural counties
of Pennsylvania this fall and winter, the
legislature having made no appropriation
for their support. The state free library
commission is much gratiiied by the gen
crosby of the public thus manifested.
Minnesota has law for the prevention
and suppression of forest and prairie
fires, has regular "fre wardens." aud as
a result the chief fire warden is able to
report that there were only ten forest
fires in 1899. These burned over 1855
acres and damaged timber to the extent
of only 81 ,541.

from Williamsport. The porter, not
seeing her, closed the vestibule door
just as she mounted the steps, and the
train began to move. The woman
called loudly for help but the noise
of the train drowned her voice.
A mile out of the station a freight
train passed in the opposite direction,
and Mrs. Fowler's skirts, catching on
the engine. were almost torn from her
body. It was with Great 6ifficulty that
she retained her hOlG. Nnen the train

her position still more perilous.
When the train stopped at a station

door slam.
thinking all was safe, she prepared
to retire. just before getting into bed,
and while standing in front OF her
mirror, combiug her hair at a dresser
Just opposite the door TO the room and
over which was d transom, she saw
reflected from the transom the face
of a man. 4 closer look showed that
il was the man she had just left at the
door
Being of cool temperament and
not possessed of nerves. she made no
sign Of her observation, but calmly
turned out the gas and retired. She
lay awake, waiting to see what would
happen. In about half an hour she
was horriiied to see the figure of this
same individual climbing through the
transom. He got into the room,
walked to her dresser, took the jewels
from il, including gifts he himself had
made 10 her, ransacked he little treas
ure boxes she had, and then stealthily
returned through the trausOn. With
eyes half closed the young woman
watched the whole performance 81
lently.
"Her father returned home next
morning and heard the story with ex-
treme Indignation. She begged him
not to create any scandal about It, and
as the young woman was nearly crazed
with distress. he respected ber wishes.
It was finally agreed that she should
write to the young man, telling him
that she had seen it all, asking him 10
return her iewelrv and requesting him
never to let her see his face again.
"The father took this note to the
young man, who promptly delivered
the valuaEles he had stolen. The
young woman's friends were told that
the engagement was off. and il was
not until very recently. several years
after the incident, that the reason was
known TO anyone besides the three
persons directly concerned in this
