She was gazing down over the side
of the coach upon the huge wheel that
but for him might have crushed her,
and she became pale.
"You and your novel toboggan would
have slid over the wheel, not under

he held towards her his card.

he read: Miss Weston.

Weston.
"Why, that is where 1 am going"
Theo blandly assured her. ''The
splendid golf links attached to the

NEW ENGLAND WOMAN'S INVENTION.

A railway snow plow is rather
strange thing for woman to invent.
but the one shown here is not only
woman's device, but has a number of
practical advantages which recon-
mend its use by railways and street
car lines. The chief feature Of the ap-
paratus Is that it will cut through
drift Of crust or packed snow about as
easy as an ordinary plow removes
large drift. This is accomplished by
first disintegrating the ice and snow
with the revolving cutters mounted in
the mouth Of the plow, when it is an
easy matter to dispose Of the small Sec

ago he made this prediction concerning

days this will be the passing point of
two enormous channels of trade. The
one will be in an iron way over the
great West, the other waterway down
the Mississippi, across the isthmus and
up the Pacific. The one wiWil repre-
