caused a wave of profound feeling to
pass over his heart. He gazed at her

of her attraction for him was cleared.
lie wondered that he had not recogniz.
ed her before, time had changed her
so little. With mighty bound the love
that had lain dormant in his heart for
twenty years sprang into active life
again, and a mad impulse to throw
himself at her feet and once more to
crave her forgiveness, as he had done
many years ago, almost gained the
mastery over him. But he was we'll
schOoled in self-restraint, and his voice
was almost natural when he answered
her question.
You have indeed made q noble de-
fense," he said. But If that woman
should have been as noble al you have
made her out to be, would mercy and
forgiveness have found no place ia her
heart. Would twenty years of unal-
tered love not have explated the error
of a moment OF passion? Would she
blight his life, and perhaps hers, mere
ly because in a fit of jealousy, for her,
he had failed to measure up to the inn
possible high standard she had set for

life for him.

Her voice had sunk lower and lower
as she spoke, and at the last, she broke

All his heart went out to her; and he

q reaches the broad end of the plate
on the track beneath it the current is
automatically cut off by the car wheel
carried it a few inches beyond the at
traction of the magnet by the plate it
has just passed over. Then the mag
net /" enlivens" again and reaches for
the attraction plate ahead.
"Only q practical test" he said,
I" with a full-sized car will solve that
problem, though my experiments have
convinced me that the car will travel
at the rate of from 800 to 400 miles an
hour. The model car Kelly has now
on exhibition is, perhaps, 80 inches
long. 1t ls shaped like an ordinary
box car, but both ends are sharp. 1t
has four wheels, each as high as it's
roof. The big wheels, the inventor
says will decrease the friction, and the
sharp ends of the car Will enable it to
go faster through the air.
The next model made will have the
center of the car than the first one
made has. AS the wheels are set on
the first model, they offer some resi-
stance to the air. The current which
will prOpel the a is carried in n rail
IF the track. This rail is positive, the
other is negative.
The negative rail is divided at inter
walls corresponding TO the divisions in
the attraction plates between the rails.
One wheel of the car on each side of
it is insulated from the axle, allowing
the current to pass through the con-
nected wheel to the magnet on the
bottom of the car, and from the magnet
TO the connecting wheel on the mega
tive side of the car, forming a circuit,
except during that interval when the
circuit is broken to permit the car to
jump from plate to plate.
There is a short interval between the
plates as they lie on the track beneath
the car. Mr.. Kelly said hat in time
he, believes passengers will embark on
his line, but they will probably be at
first fearful Of travelling at such high
speed. 81 WILL" he said, "ride on
the first mail car that goes out. / am
not afraid" The inventor is un-
married, was born at Woodstock, H.,
April 16, 1872, and has two brothers
anu soVeh slsterS, All lVlnS III Illinois
and Minnesota. He ran away from
home when quite young, learned to be
a machinist, has had few advantages
in the way of schooling, but has picked
up a great deal of knowledge of cleo
tricity.
The speed of the car may be regulat-
ed by raising OF depressing the sharp
points of the plates on the tack. The
a goes slower the more these points
ere depressed. When the car runs
upon several plates, the ends of which
have been reversed, it stops. This is
the method Kelly will use in stopping
the car. He will at stations reverse q
number of the plates. He says he will
install in stations an indicator which
will show just where the car is at all
times. He does not believe that the
road will be costly to build. He says
the car will run on the ordinary rail,
and could be run over existing lines
were one rail alive and the track clear

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
Electric Cars Will Travel at the
Rate of 400 Miles an Hour.

Electric Cars Will Travel at the
Rate of 400 Miles an Hour.
An electric car which will run at
the rate of 400 miles an hour over a
track of peculiar construction is on ex-
hibition at Norfolk, Va. The inven-
tor is Edward j. Kelly, and his past
accomplishments in a similar line en-.
title his claims for this machine to a
respectful consideration. He has in
successful operation several electric
street cars in Philadelphia. His patent
trolley, and a test of his patent switch
is being made, with apparently every
prospect of success.
When 1T was announced that he had
a wonderful railway Car on exhibition
great interest was excited among men
who are ordinarily very shy of inven-
lions for which large claims are made.
Many of these visited the shops of the
Norfolk Electrical company, where the
device is on view. There the model
car was being run back and forth upon
The track, which was about six feet
long. The inventor declared that the
speed at which the a will travel is
restricted only to the speed at which
electricity travels or a telegraph line,
making allowance for a certain amount
of friction. He said he would soon
build a long track, and then be would
show something of the real speed his
car can attain.
1t has been his ambition to provide
a practical electric car which would
travel at a high speed for the purpose
OF transporting mail matter between
the large cities of the country. He
said: "I believe hat this model de-
monstrates that a car built on these
lines will reach a speed ranging from
300 to 400 miles an hour. In other
words, it will cover the distance be-
tween New York and Washington,
passing through Philadelphia and Balti-
more, in m hour"
Kelly believes that once his railway
is built there will be little telegraphing
been these cities, and nearly al. the
business will be done by mail. He ex-
poets to bring the invention to the
notice OF the postmaster general short
ly, and thinks the government will
perhaps undertake to construct the
line.
Kelly's device is novel. The car is
propelled by a magnet attached to it
which takes action upon a series of
iron plates placed between the rails,
These plates r nearly as broad as the
gauge of the ROAD at the end, while
they taper to a point at the other end.
The sharp ends all point one way, and
the car must travel in a direction op.
posite to the n in which the sharp
point of the plates point. The road
must, therefore, necessarily be a
double-tracked one.
The inventor says that it is the ma
lure of the magnet to reach the large
end OF the plates as soon as possible,
and that it does this almost instantly
after it "smells" the small end of the
plate. When the magnet beneath the
