Record Locomotive BUILDING.

record Of a locomotive engine built in

gether. The workmen began early in
the morning and continued until the
breakfast bell rang. Then the part.
ly-built engine was photographed.
After a half hours rest the workmen
returned to the task and continued
till the dinner hour, when another
photograph was taken. Thus the
work proceeded till the engine was
completed. with the exception of a
coat OF paint. This was quickly laid
on by a spraying machine, and In less
than half an hour was perfectly dry.
The locomotive was then sent on q
trial journey a few miles up the line
and all proved satisfactory, so IL was
sent with a baggage train. 1t has
been in active service ever since.

CHAPTER xxiv-contirued.


They strollod into the conservatory
For the first time he was alone with
Jessie Garden, and a sense of exalted
happiness surged over him.
Blake had formulated no plan of
campaign for the conquest of Jessie
Garden. The light of her eyes and
the radiance of her beauty were to
aim as isnes fatui. and drew him on.
He talked Of California and of
Rocky Woods, but his eyes spoke
love and his deep rich voice was
tender. Fair woman is seldom blind
to the spell cast by her charms. and
1t Is probable that Jessie was aware
of Blakc's admiration: but she Meth.

Though he knew that the odds
were overwhelmingly against him.
and that one false step meant ire

He knew the risk he ran in appear.
ing in public with Jessie Garden, but
he did not hesitate to secure a box
for the Booth performance.
There were four in the thcater
party-the general and Edith. Blake
and Jessie Garden. Blake escorted
Jessie TO the front of the box and
took his place by her side. The
boxes were thronSed with fair WON.
On, but all eyes were turned on Jes.
sic Garden and her handsome escort.
She had been absent from New York
for two years, and only a few rccog,
nized her. James Blake was even
less known, though his name had
been made familiar by the name of
Wall street achievements with which
he was publicly identified.
The first act was nearly ovcr when
a thick-set young man, with a soft,
norid face. sauntercd into the box
directly across the orchestra from
Blake and Jessie. Both recognized
the newcomer as Arthur Morris. anu
both felt a secret JOY that he was
present. Like a flash the thought
came to Blake that, by means of his

rival, he could enhance the chances
of a speedy success with the woman
by his side.
DO you notice the gentleman sit
ting alone in the box opposito?' he
asked as the curtain fell.
Yes" answered Jessie, raising her
eyes and looking at Blake with a
puzzled smile. why do you ask"
That's Arthur Morris. the banker.
Would you like to meet him."
II shall be delighted exclaimed
Jessie, who could not resist the temp
tatiOn.
At that instant Morris directed his
opera-glass for the first time at the
Blake box. The smile of JOY when
he recognized Jessie turned to n
of blank amazement when he saw
James Blake. In response to Blake's
signal the dazed Morris was picking
his way through the crush. Blake
led Jessie to the rear of the box.
Miss Garden, permit me to present
my friend, Mr.. Arthur Norris
Jessie smiled and offered her hand.
I'm glad to meet any friend OF
Mr.. Biake's," she said.

you again, Miss Garden. How are
YOU, General Garden? This is a
good one on you, Blake. I've been
acquainted with Miss Garden for
years-fve years, is IL not, Miss Car
DEM"
Jessie's laughing eyes admitted the
truth and Blake looked properly con.
fused.
II shall have to forgive you" Blake
said to Jessie, but you are taking
an unfair advantage of a wild West
crner."
"You have the reputation Of being
lucky" said Morris, laying his hand
Familiarity on Blake's shoulder, but
| didn't know that your good fortune
extended TO an acquaintance with
Miss Garden"
There was a shade Of insolence In
his tone, and an air which did not
escape any of his three listeners. 1t
limited that he was General Gardens
employer; that the latter was under
obligations to him, and that Jessie
was pledged to pay the debt. But
Blake was a good actor in the little
comedy between the acts. He held
the key to the solution. OF all the
figures in this complicated drama, he
alone knew the motives which infiu-
enced the other players.
p II might say the same to you, my
dear Morris" said Blake with airy
confidence. Were 1t in good form I
would willingly wager a supper that

The Mantle Of Charity.

1t was late on Sunday morning
when Blake awoke. For years he
and John had dined at four o'clock
on Sundays, and they had continued
the custom in New York. Blake
looked forward to what had ever
been a pleasure, with an aversion not
unmiXd with fear.
He rang a bell and his valet re-
%sponded.

Blake carelessly glanced over a
newspaper. With a yawn he was
about to lay the paper aside, when he
Hoticed a headline descriptive of the
tooth performance of the preceding
evening. 1t was a long article, but
Blake was so engrossed in its reading
that he paid no attention to the
Wallets announcement that his bath
was ready.
To the abject establishment Of that
trained and sedate servant, Blake
gave a cry of terror and sprang from
his couch, upsetting a small table as
he rushed towards the window.
In the full flood of light he again
read a paragraph which had frozen
the blood in his veins. It was as fol.

GRAND JURY ROASTS
LEGISLATIVE GRAFT

OF House vouchers but this grand
jury makes the foregoing report not
to the purpose of criticism but that fu-
ture legislatures may appreciate that
public funds are being expended by it
and resulting injustice is being in
ficted upon the people whom it repre-
sents."
THE SOCIAL EVIL.
Upon this subject the report is rather
vague. the only definite information be-
ing this:
I'VE hnd that prostitution is carried
on in this city, but not flagrantly in
the business or residence sections. Ac-
cording to testimony OF police, unrec-
ognized houses of prostitution do ex-
list, and houses of designation are be-
ing constantly watched and the occu
pants prosecuted.
Medical testimony proves that since
the annument of the so-called Act to
Mitigate, disease resultant from this
social evil has been greatly on the in
crease"
Recommendation on this subject here
follow:
And your grand jury suggests
that, although under the existing
laws it is impossible for those in au-
thority to pursue any course except that
aiming at the extinction of this evil,
and although the provisions of the
Act to Mitigate cannot be legally en-
forced, until such time as the evil can
be wholly stamped out, or the Terri
tory be given authority to legislate on
such matters, this community has the
right to demand OF the police authori-
ties that they restrict to certain limits
the class OF people engaged in this
class OF business, and that some med
ical requirements not inconsistent
with the laws be enforced"
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Having Investigated the burning of
George II. Robertson's house at Puma
hou, the grand jury severely criticises
the fire department for several things,
such as lack of inspection and fire drills,
the absence of means for quickly hitch
ing the horse to the chief engineers bug
gy-this with reference to the chiefs
absence from the fire investigated, in
sutficiency OF fire alarm facilities and
boxes, delay in getting in the alarm in
question. want of diagram showing
hydrants, etc.
However, the grand jury applies balm
to the wounds thus inflicted by praising
the celebrity with which the fremen
responded TO an alarm given in its
presence. An account OF a visit paid
to the central fire station is given in
the following pleasant manner:
I'VE visited the central fire station,
and were received and shown about by
Chief Thurston and his assistant.
While there an alarm was given, and
the hitch up was made in eight sec
onds. We were well pleased with the
discipline and the scrupuous cleanli-
ness we observed on all sides"
