grounds recommended by Miss Beresford,
and the two ladies went often with him to
suggest improvements and alterations.
Needless to say that Brandreth made a
point of especially asking Una's opinion
and acting upon her advice.
Yet. all the while, he felt he was making
no way. He saw that Una would be quite
content to enjoy a calm and intimate
friendship with him, but that unless some
thing happened TO break the smooth cur
rent of her life he would never arouse any
deeper feeling in her heart. So he spoke
openly one day will her aunt. and they de-
cided between them that they should all go
to some place ON the coast, a place new TO
Una, where no memory of the past should
come to disturb her. Folkestone was de-
cided upon as being quite new both to ma
and her aunt, and before long Brandreth
and Miss Beresford were able to congrat-
ulate themselves on the success of their
plan, for Una began to brighten up and TO
enter with zest into the new life they were
leading.
The day came. after they had been a
fortnight away, when he felt he could put
his fortune TO the test. He had taken Una
for a long walk upon the cliffs and they
stood gazing over the sea in silence. Brand
reth watched her face, on which the flush
of health mantled so prettily. Her lovely
profile was turned toward him, and he was
dreaming of the moment when he could
take her to his heart. when she turned to
speak TO him. AS she caught the look i'll
his eyes, the color rushed TO her brow and
the words she had been about to speak died
away upon her liDS.
"Una, dearest one"-he put out his hands
to her-"will you give your sweet self to
me? l did not mean to say anything of my
love to you yet, but I cannot help it! My
heart won't let me be silent any longer.
Una. my life, my lover
She had turned very pale. but her eyes
met his and she answered him in the soft.
clear tones which were TO him like the
music of Paradise:
Il didn't know, 1 didn't guess until a little
while ago, hat you felt like that about ME.
1 fancied it was for his sake you were so
kind to me. But something you said just
now made me understand
"Yes?" He leant towards her, entreaty
in his eyes.
81 don't know-I can't say. If it made
you happy 1 would try-after a time. But
not yet-don't ask me YETI Her voice rose
in petition. 81 haven't forgotten-I can't
forget him so soon!'
my darling. any word of hope 1 am
grateful for; but, Una dearest, can't you
trust yourself to me now-at once? 1 will
try never to let you regret ii. And if you
knew how long / have loved you, my sweet
est one"

4 HOURS TO NEW YORK
FAST TIME PROMISED BY PRESI-
DENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA.
Tracks Are to Be Strengthened and
Grade Crossing Eliminated-Tun-
mel Franchise Agreement.
Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
PHILADELPHIA, November 3.-From
New York to Philadelphia in 30 minutes, to
Baltimore in 3h4 hours and to Washington
in hours. These are some of the promises
made today by A j. Cassatt, president OF
the Pennsylvania railroad, in the course OF
a long interview on the status and outlook
of the tunnel franchises giving the railway
entrance to New York city. They are con-
tingent now only on the contamination OF
the S50,O0O,000 plan, which has been OBJ
structed by the New York board Of alder
men.
In this city today one step more was taken
toward the adoption of the tunnel franchise
for New York. At meeting of the board
of directors of the Pennsylvania, New York
and Long Island Railroad Company, which
Is the corporate title of the organization that
Is to build and operate the tunnels and ter
minals, a vote was taken formally APPROX
ing the amended franchise agreement, which
has been approved already by Mayor Lows
conference committee of the board OF al
dermen and the rapid transit commission.
The agreement now comes back to New
York for ratification by the board of alder
men and the state board Of railroad COM
mISSionerS
In an interview following the meeting
President CaSsatt said:
We are now at work Strengthening the
line between Philadelphia and New York,
and getting rid of the grade crossings. with
a view to quickening the time between the
two cities, and we are extending these i'm
provements between Philadelphia and
Washington. We are elevating the tracks
through Newark, New Brunswick, Trenton,
Chester and Wilmington. We propose to
go at once and elevate them through Rah-
way and Bristol, and at the same time to
improve the alignment and get rid of curva-
ture, When this is done we expect to make
the run between Philadelphia and the New
York terminal in an hour and a half; be-
tween Baltimore and New York In three
and one-quarter hours, and between Wash
ington and New York in four hours
Mr.. Cassatt denied that the proposed tun-
mel would be used for freight traffic or that
the road intended establishing a new pas
senger terminal, connecting with a line of
transatlantic ships at Montauk Point, L. 1.
These have been urged objections to the
franchise by the aldermen

TAXES IN CHINA.
Resolutions Adopted by the American
Association

Resolutions unanimously adopted by the
American Association in China on October
give a comprehensive idea of the objec-
lions raised by American merchants in the
empire to the treaty between Great Britain
and China, signed at Shanghai September 3
last. The American Association Is COM
posed largely of merchants. The resolutions
say the treaty contains certain clauses
which will not become operative unless "all
the powers entitled to the most favored ma
ton treatment in China shall enter into the
same engagements as Great Britain with
regard to the payment of surtaxes and
other obligations imposed by article VIII
Of the treaty Of Shanghai.
The members Of the association are op-
posed to these taxes on the ground that
they will bring no benefit to American
trade, will tend to continue China as
debtor nation. will retard her internal de-
velopment and hamper her prosperity.
In certain official circles here it Is said
the United States will proceed along line s
of its own in negotiating a treaty with
China, and that this government need net
be especially concerned in what may ap-
pear Objectionable in the British treaty, as
the American treaty commissioners need not
be guided by 1t in any way.

Prohibit Private Driveway.

The Commissioners have decided not to
allow the construction of a private drive
way in the parking in front of 1Ii3 street
northwest. 1t is the rule for the Commits
sioners to grant such requests, but in this
ease Colonel Biddle. the Engineer Commits
sioner. says IT would seem impossible for a
horse and carriage to stand in front Of the
door of the house without interfering with
people walking along the sidewalk. The
parking is very narrow on n street, and the
width of the house is not great, so that a
horse and carriage standing in front of the
door would probably project at one or bot IN
ends on to the sidewalk proper. The street
is handsome. and is much frequented be-
tween nth and 18th streets. The architect
who requested the driveway waddy B.
Wood will be informed that the Commits
sioners do not deem 1t advisable to grant a
permit Cor the same.
