must get of there to see to q little
business, but we did not part In bad
feeling. It was not until arrived at
Canterbury that I discovered there had
been change Of bags. Mr. Bliss had
taken mine and left his.
Perhaps it was not exactly the right
thing to do, but IN nay room at the no
tel tried my keys on the lock Of the
strange bag and opened 1t. 1t was
stuffed full of what at first supposed
to be clothing, but after a little inves-
tigation grew white in the face and
weak In the knees. Down below the
clothing were English consols and rail
way bonds TO the amount of half a
million dollars. didn't have to figure
much to come to the conclusion that q
big robbery had been pulled OF and
that Mr.. Bliss was In It. 1t was my
duty to inform the police at once. but
before could leave the hotel two off,
GERS called and arrested me. They had
me red handed, as 1t were. and even
at the police station they would pay
no attention to my assertions or prot
sstations. In England q person un-
der arrest ls deemed guilty, at least
by the police. was taken back to
London, where the robbery had &C.
CURED, and. though had money and
credentials and was an innocent man,
It took me four weeks. to get out of the
grip of the law. Meantime the asinine
officers had given Mfr. Bliss time to
get half around the globe.
How the man knew I was from To-
ronto and stopping at the Kings Arms
l cannot say, but he had robbed a
brokers ONCE near by. left the satchel
at fruit stand and entered the hotel
to escape the crowd on his track. He
had come direct to my room and had
thereby saved himself. When he left
me after our conversation, he picked
up his satchel and turned in some
where for the night. He knew the
railroad stations would be watched,
and he planned to get out Of town in
my company. 1t cost me f100 in cash
and no end Of worry to get clear Of
the law, and when 1 finally returned
to the hotel the whilom urbane and
humble landlord met me with a smile
and said:
Eyes, know they failed to convict
you. but just at present we are greatly
overcrowded. and l cannot accommo-
date you. Innocent as babe, sir, but
you'll have to try some other hotel,
dontcherknow."

A Guest PusEler,

In one Of the old castles Of northern
England visitors are shown two rooms
which are connected with each other by
a singular mechanism. Each room is ad-
Joined by an alcove, used as a sleeping
room apartment, and the floors Of the ad-
joining aleoves turn on pivot in the CEN
ter Of the partition wall.
This ingenious device was the invention
of one OF the ancestors of the present pro-
prietor. who was somewhat OF a wag,
and found great pleasure in frightening
and mystifying his guests.
When one had gone to bed In the green
room and the other In the blue, the floors
were turned on their pivots, and on
awakening the visitor found himself in
strange quarters, with clothes that were
not his own.
1t is said that this fun loving lord lost
a rich Inheritance by disturbing the rest
full moments of wealthy aunt. who new
er forgave the trick her nephew played
upon her.

Making Steel Rails.

The rail mill presents many pictures
that appeal strongly to lovers OF the
picturesque. Under ordinary circum-
stances the great strands Of iron, each
half as long as a city block, slide back
and forth smoothly enough between
the rolls that are stretching them and
pressing them into the required shape,
but tiny obstacle may at any moment
turn one Of these cables Of fire or the
beaten track and twist it into hope
less tangle or wind 1t like a sQuirming
snake around some unfortunate work
man.
When the rolling process has been
completed, the piece Of iron slides along
to the great buzzsaws, which cut 1t up
into the 80 foot rails known to the rail-
way traveller. Every time the whirring
circular saw clips of one Of these
lengths, sparks radiate In every direc-
ton, as though the biggest pyrotech-
meal pinwheel ever devised had been
suddenly set in motion.
When the rail has been cooled and
holes have been drilled In 1t, 1t Is ready
to start for any part Of the world.
The evolution of bars or beams or
sheets from the big steel slabs is gain
ed by the same general method Of pro-
cedure. 1t is the size and shape OF the
grooves In the rolls which determine
the form to he ultimately assumed by
the steel In their clutches.-Gentury

MILDRED HOLLAND

Polls ought to hold very large au- uience to-morrow evening. when Miss Mildred Holland appears in "The t'ower Behind the Throne" as it is the only high class offering of the week. Miss Holland has gained q fine reputation for young actress, and in this play, which is founded on Schil- CTS classic Love and intrigue," she mas the best role she has ever. essayed. She portrays the part of Aria, the daughter of a court musician. The character is a legitimat tely serious and almost tragic one, which is entirely dlHecent from any part which she ha s heretofore assumed. There is no ap- parent reason why Miss Holland should not meet with success in this line of work, as she possesses all the necessary requirements, and q charm ing presence and a marked degree of personal magnetism, sentiment and pathos. However, it will be with some curiosity that she will be greet ed on this occasion, because, as has been said, her character in :"The Pow CT Behind the Throne'' is in such marked contrast to the line of parts in which she is most familiarity known. Scenically, the production is on an elaborate scale. the costumes are said to be beautiful and historical ly correct. and the furniture, too. is carried by the organization. Seats went on sale this morning at 9, 35, 5O, 70 cents and $1.

CYCLING TO BUFFALO
Wheelmen May Ride to the Pan.
 American on Cycle Paths.

.- II
 American on Cycle Paths.
 The Pan-Amcrican exposition will .ex- tend welcoming hand to the millions or cyclists and automobilists of the Americas during the summer of 1901.
 The automobile exhibit, it is promised, will be the finest ever seen at any ex- and complete display of bicycles, rep resenting all stages of progress from the heavy and clumsily iron tired vc- locipedes to the finest pneulnati tic- tired modern machines, including the good old ordinary" or high wheel bicycle fitted with small solid rubber tires which was first exhibited in this coun- try twenty-five years ago at Philadel- phia in 1876.
 A grand carnival of cycle races will be aeld in the magnificent Stadium which Is now being erected on the Pan-American grounds. This vast arena will be in many respects equal to the famous old Colosseum at Rome.
 The city of Buffalo and the sur rounding country furnish unsurpas ssed attractions to the cyclist and automo- bil1st, every condition being favorablc. The fine tree embowered streets and avenues, 225 miles of which are smoothly paved with asphalt, and the beautiful park system O. the city, with the fine road 10 Niagara Falls. less than twenty miles away. appeal to the users of the bicycle and automobile alike. An additional inducement to the cyciist will be found in the many miles of cycle paths in the vicinity. constructed under the famous sidepa tn law of the state of New York. The unique cycle path which, following the river bank, enuircling Grand Island. in the Niagara river above the Falls, is especially noteworthy. -o
 AS it is expected that very many cyclists and automobilists will tour to Buffalo, the Pan-American exposition and Niagara Falls next summer, a series of trunk line" cycling routes is being compiled. They will proba ply be as follows: .--...-
 l. New York and Albany to Buffa- To (tia the Hudson river, the valley of the Mohawk and the cycle paths of northern, central and western New York;.
 2. New York to Buffalo (via the Delaware Water Gap, Scranton. Bing- hamton, Elmira, Corning and the cy- cle paths of the southern tier of coun- ties)
 3. Boston and New England points to Buffalo (connecting with route No l at Albany.
 4. Boston and New. England points to Buffalo (via Providence, New Camden. steamboat to Greenport, l.. l.. cycle paths of Suffolk county, Brooklyn. connecting with route No l or at New York;.
 ,. Washington, Baltimore and Phil adelpria'. to Buffalo (connecting with route No ? at. the Delaware Water Gap or Scranton).-
 6. St Louis and Chicago to Buffalo (via Toledo. Cleveland and Erie-the road from Erie, through the grape belt, has been called the finest 100 mile straight away in America).
 z. Chicago and Milwaukee to Buff falo (via steamboat across Lake MiHl- igan to Grand Haven, Detroit, through Canada, Niagara Falls).l
 8. Cincinnati to Buffalo lconnecting with route No 6 at Cleveland).
