He smcothed her hair from her fore
head.
I'VE know the world and we sac the

In the faint gray dawn he awoke
from troubled sleep. They were on
long sandy beech. Clear across the
bay were the buildings Of the great
hotel. Beyond and above them was a
small village and the cross Of a tiny
stone church showed over the trees.
THE way is found" he said, calmly,
come, we will go yonder.'
/ The news Of their rescue went by
telephone to the great hotel and the
whole house, excited by their Gisap-
pearance and survival, waited on the
piazzas and at the wharf for their re-
turn on the coast steamer.
The people at the village had given
them some clothing but they presented
CT ctr
on shore. At the gang-plank stood
white-haired old man and a red
faced niddie-aged man. They were
both stern and choleric, their great
relief finding vent in hot anger. The
culprits came together. Carter Starr
held his head high and his lips were
as set as his grandfathers own. Eloise
was wan and chung to his arm. There
was a loud huzzahing of the passen-
gers and a dash forward to shake
hands.
wait" he cried, land I'll give you
something to halloo for. Miss Storms
and myself have been very near Death
and have come back as we were saved,
together. We were married this morn
ing at St. Stephens across the bay"
The old mans eyes at once met those
Of the red-faced mans in a look of
intense relief. He caught his grand
sons arm.
"And you did right, you scamp" he
roared out, You are always a gentle
man."
And Eloise felt her uncle's wet cheek
against her own.
''The proper thing" he sobbed, "the
proper thing-and, under the circum-

She smiled bitterly.
"And l should not have come. We

He looked out to the infinite, ON
nipotent sea. His reckless moods fell
from him. The wind blew the girls
brown hair about her shoulders. He
could not see her face. He tried to
keep a control of the rudder for long
time but gave it up as useless. Out,
out into the darkness and tossing wa
tiers they went with the receding tide.
Finally he crept along close to her and
took her hands.

araguar Canal Traffic.
Senator Morgan has submitted
another report on the Nicaragua
Canal. 1t contains q special state
ment of Prof Emory r. Johnson, q
member Of the isJhmian commie-
sion, of the traffic resources Of the
canal, and it's effect upon thu com
mercial Industries of the United
States. Mr.. Morgan says the state
ment "proves conclusively that as
an Investment, the Nicaragua Ca.
nal will earn q highly remunara-
tive profit on ctst of even 5000,
100000. which is the extreme esti-
mate Of cost presented by the 18th
lnian canal commission"
Prof. Emory in his statement
makes q number Of statis zeal esti-
mates For the year ended June
81, 1899, he says that 3,426, 752 Car,
20 tons of United STATES commerce
could nave used tn" canal, aud 3,
346 377 tons for south, Central, and
6lItlsh America, and 5,766 456 Eu
ropean tonnage. The commission
estimates that seven and a half
million tons of traffic will be avail
able for the canal In 1914 after the
canal has been opened the traffic
will increase to traffic of IL, ,25O,
OUO tons in 1924.
A dollar y ton is estimated as
most feasible. The report says the
effect of the canal on transcOnti-
mental railways will compel q re-
ductiOn in rates which will be of
set by the large local traffic.

The MOrganton Hospital.

In an interview with a Raleigh
correspondent, Superintendent Muir
ply, Of the Western Hospital for the
insane said: ave have $50 patients.
There are 400 applications on file.
This doesn't cover all the insane in
the western district. I estimate
that there are 500 such and that of
these perhaps 400 are in jails and 100
in county homes. Most of these are
kept at home. In many instances
they are kept in specially built log
huts, sometimes in a room the walls
and doors of which have been
strengthened. Not infrequently the
head of the family has to quit his
work to devote his time and atten-
tiOn to the insane member of his
family and thus pauperize the entire
family, We want accommodations
for 400 more patients. We want
s15O,000 to provide such accomoda-
tions. We will only ask for $685.
900 for the maintenance of the ad-
ditional 400; which is only $50 each
a year. That is cheaper than their
people or their counties can care for
them."

That was the message Hiram Ad-

freight wreck on the line and it was
thought best to switch his train in

hours went by Adams got hungry
and went to hotel. The day pass
ed and no further orders came. The
next day and nothing, then a week,
two weeks, and finally three passed
Adams was living in comfort at his
hotel when he received message to
come ahead.
After sending the order the train
dispatcher forgot Adams, and when
that individual failed to show up it
was thought hewas sick at his home
in Halistead, Pa. Finally an inves-
tigatiOn was made and the startling
discovery came that he had been for
gotten for three weeks. He has filed
with the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western bill for his hotel expenses
and time and half time after the
first ten hour on the siding.
He says he did not report for the
reason that once before he had asked
for further orders and received a
sharp reprimand for interfering in
business that was not his. He &C.
cordingly obeyed orders and now
asks the company to settle, saying
the Brotherhood will back up his re.
quest.

One great question before the peo.

islature establish In the State q re-
formatory for young criminals.
There Is not q more timely and
humane subject xhich the law-mak-
ers will have TO consider.
This Is an Alliance question. IL
was first mentioned, 30 far as We
know. by the State Alliance In one
of its sessions at Greensboro. We
remember being on the committee
TO which the resolution favoring
such an institution was referred, and
that the committee reported unfa-
vorably on 1t.
We shall never forget how Sena-
tor Butler, who was president at the
time, took the report. He did not
like it; and as no one else seemed to
want 10 oppose the recommendation
of the committee, he called some one
to the chair and took the floor and
we never heard a more convincing
argument for anything than he
made for the reformatOry.
The result was that when the vote
was taken, 1t was unanimous Cif we
mistake not) for the reformatory,
despite the recommendations of the
committee.
Hence, Senator Butler was its first
effecutual champion in the State.
Now everybody says we must have
it if it is possible to do 80. Will we
get it?

that J. Pierpont Morgan has gained
control of the entire Anthracite out
put, the announcement may be made
at any moment that the distribution
will in the future be made through
a single agency. 1t is estimated by
so doing, saving OF twenty-five
cents a ton on commission will
be secured. This would LII e n
a total saving Of twenty-fOur
million dollars year. AS yet it is
not decided what company will take
the agency, but it is intimated that
the chances lie between the Philadel-

fnement. We found them eating
