Many OF the great steel structures
that are being built in every city are
planned and modelled in some distant city
like the material for Solomon's temple
OF old---hundreds of miles away. 1t Is
in some rolling mill town OF Pennsylva-

for the modern skyscrapers are built

House Puts Through the Measure by
Vote of 335 to 81.
The Cuban reciprocity bill, which gives
force and effect to the treaty, making a
reduction Of 20 per cent from the Ding
ley tariff schedules on Cuban products
entering the United States, was passed
by the House OF Representatives at 4:3O
o'clock Thursday afternoon by stand
ing vote of $50 to q. The announce
ment of the result. which had never been
in doubt, was the signal for roar of
applause from the floor and galleries.
The dissenting votes were about equally
divided between Republicans and Demo
Gratis, but there was no roll call, because
the minority had too few votes to order
the yeas and nays. Among the dissent
ers We're Messrs. Darragh, Smith, Loud,
Fordney, Bishop and McMorran, of

A CROSS STATE HIGHWAY.
Missouri to Build Splendid Road
from St. Louis to Kansas City.

Missouri to Build IA Splendid Road
from ST. Louis to Kansas City.
Missouri is about to begin an under
taking as great in it's way as the barge
canal projected in New York State.
Plans are virtually complete and work in
all probability will begin in the spring on
splendid highway across the State.
Just which one OF three proposed routes
will be adopted has not been decided
The various routes are 214, 2SS and 200
miles long. In any event the road will
run across the State from st. Louis to
Kansas City.
The roadway will be 100 feet wide
throughout. While it is to be built pri-
marily for stability it is also the purpose
Of the projectors to make it one OF the
most beautiful highways in the world.
Macadam eight inches deep and "A
feet wide will form the principal road
bed, but clay wagon paths will parallel
the main roadway on both sides for dry
weather Between the dirt roadbeds and
the fences. which will follow the course
of the road water sluices are to be made
for drainage. Between these sluices and
the fences a wide plank walk for pedes-
TRANS is to be laid and between the
sluices and the walk trees are to be
planted for shade.
These trees are to be planted by per-
sons living along the route Of the road
way, according to II clause in the agree
ment, which will be drawn up between
the projectors and the officials OF the
counties through which the road passes
The cost of the road is not to exceed
$4,000 mile, which will bring the total
when completed about 100000
Taxation will form the chief means Of
raising money to complete the work. each
county paying pro rata Of the expense
Money appropriated by the Legislature
for the improvement OF the roadways
will also be used on the highway.

CHAPTER K.

CHAPTER x.
Marsden's act of branding fellow be-
ing as a thief began to torture him, and
he felt the remorse the more as he began
to realize the baseness of his plot. Mean
while, Count Bozell had not failed to in
quire of Edward Toilet as to the execu-
tion of his behests, and as the report ex-
ceeded his most sanguine expectations,
he arrived In time to dine with his friend.
Both had mutually concocted their plans
that morning while on their way to the
bank. The count stated that his servants
| could do the job.
But can you depend on them?' veng
tured Marsden.
Bah" replied Bozell, ~ know my
servants, and | always take care to Sc
lect fellows whose past behavior forces
them to do my bidding and be discreet.
When n person gains control over such
persons they can be handled more easily
than by buying their silence. The boys
will be well paid. however, and will ex-
ecute my orders, never fear"
This conversation, although sroken in
low voice, was not so low but that
Kcnneth's acute ears caught their full
meaning. AS is known, Kenneth La
throp had promised his love that he
would keep an eye on the count.
The way from Marsden's residence ex-
tended for a distance along the side of
the walls of a park. Kenneth was on
the other side Of this wall cautiously
keeping equal steps with the two men
on the walk, and overheard their plans.
At the end Of five or ten minutes. Mars
den and Bozell turned off from the street,
and Kenneth having heard enough and
taking in the situation, FASTENED ut once
to mingle and ingratiate himself with
the counts servants, most Of whom he
knew personally.
Shortly afterwam he was asked by
one of them to participate in what the
count designated as n mad frolic." Anx-
iously, though apparently relpStant, Ken
Meth accepted the invitation, and in an
adroit manner managed to appoint him
self their leader, and played his part
with great skill.
1t was late in the evening when the
empty vehicle with the counts groom

forest--arrivcd. Count Bozell at once
called him to his side and questioned:

the groom, las we feared it might at

the inevitable swooning Of the lady and
the resistance of her companion"

Victor remained motionless and at
tempted to penetrate the plot. His mind
ran into different channels, but he could
find no means by which he could extri-
cate himself from the mcshes. He stood
before yawning abyss; he imagined he
saw the despairing face of his mother,
the unutterable anguish of his father,
and the hopeful dreams of his future
shattered.
Their little secret had come to n ter
rfble termination. Marsden had detected
II and taken revenge. He did not wish
to expose Beatrice; and who would be

ment of an employee against that OF
Marsden in case he dared to attack his
honesty.
The outlook seemed indeed gloomy to
Victor Raymond; aud in utter apathy he
finally left the room. lrresisHbly he felt
himself drawn TO the kind heart of his
father, and yet, his soul was convulsed
as he reached the gate to his home--his
parents could not offer him any assist
ance.

CHAPTER IN.

Slowly the horses made their way
through tho dark night, guided by the
leader Julia very soon was on appar-
emily friendly terms with her captor, who
followed in the wake of Kenneth La
throp, who had charge of her still uncon-
scious mistress. As the road was rough
and rocky, they did not make much
Roadway.
Finally they arrived before large
building from whose windows Il faint
glimmer of light was cast upon the road.
Hardly had the party reached the gate,
when servant appeared Mt the door and
advanced towards the masked men and
the unconscious Beatrice. She was ex-
ceedingly reticent. Perhaps she had
received her orders from Count Bozell
to perform her duties in silence. She
conducted our friends to the upper story
and opened door TO Kenneth without
saying n word.
Julia followed and assisted her lover
in laying Beatrice upon couch. During
this maneuver Kenneth had succeeded
In surreptitiously giving Julia slip OF
paper, which she Mt once secreted. Then
he left the room in company with the
strange servant.
With anxiety Julia gaEed upon Rea-
trees pallid features; her still closed
eyes increased her fears. and she at
tempted 10 revive her by rubbing her
brow and temples with wet cloths. At
that moment the servant reappeared and
placed n tray containing tea and some
luncheon on the table. She noticed Bea-
trice's beautiful head reclining on the
sofa pillows, and gave Julia a small vial,
and after touching her brow and lips,
bowed herself ceurteously from the room.
The maid quickly comprehended her
meaning. and. after putting a teaspoon
full of the liquid between Beatrice's
compressed lips, bathed the icy, cold face.

her eyes.
