Yet scarce had the girl departed
before there appeared again the sound
of running steps, and presently there
broke, equally unannounced, into the
presence of his mistress, the coach
man, fresh from his stables and none
too careful of his garb. Tears ran
down his cheeks. He flung out his
hands with gestures as of one de-
mented.
"The news!" cried he. The news.
my lady! The horrible news! The
system has vanished, the shares are
going down." i
Fellow, what do you here?" said
Lady Catharine. Why do you come
with this same story which Marie has
just brought to me? Can you not
learn your placer"
but, my lady, you do not under
standl" reiterated the man blankly.
TITS all over. There is no Messasebe;
there is no longer any system, no
longer any Company of the Indies.
There is no longer wealth for the
stretching out of the hand. Tis. all
over. / must go back to horses-I,
Madame, who should presently have
associated with the nobility"
Well, and if So" replied his mis-
tress. Il can say to you, as have to
Marie, that there will still be money
for your wages"
Wages! My faith, what trifes, my
lady! This Monsieur Las, the di-
general, he it is who has ruined
us! Well enough it is that the square
in front of his hotel is filed with peo-
plel Presently they will break down
his doors. And then, pray God they
punish him for this that he has done!"
The cheek of Lady Catharine paled
and a sudden flush of contending emo
tions crossed her mind. You do not
tell me that Monsieur Las is in danger,
Pierre?" said she.
''Assuredly. Perhaps within the very
hour they will tear down his doors and
rend him limb from limb There is no
punishment which can serve him right
him who has ruined our pretty, pretty
system. Mon Dieu! 1t was so beauti-
ful!''
is InlS news CSfId1us
tAssuredly, most certain. Why
should it not be? The entire square in
front of the Hotel de Scissor is packed.
Unless my lady needs me, myself
must hasten thither to aid in the pun
ishment of this Jean L'as!"
You will stay here" said Lady
Catharine wait! There may be
need! For the present, go!'
Left alone, Lady Catharine stood for
moment pale and motionless, in the
center of the room. She strobe then
to the window and looked ixedly out.
Her whole figure was tense, rigid.
Yonder. over there, across the gabled
roofs of Paris, they were cla1noring at
the door of him who had given back
Paris to the king, and France again to
its people. They were assailing him
this man so long unfaltering, SO in
sistent on his ambitions .Aso--so stead
fastl Could she call him steadfast2
A quick, hard sob broke from her
throat. In haste she flew, now to one
part of the room, now to another, pick
ing up first this article and then that
which seemed Of need. And SO at last
she hurried to the bell-cord
Quick cried she, as the servant
at length appeared. "Qtick! Do not

Mrs. Doherty has an Extraordinary Ex.
pericnce and Undergoes n Marvellous
Change.
Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. lilo Coates
street, Mobcrly, Mo. is today picture Of
robust health, and yet five years ago, she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. To reporter she told the
following story:
In 1898 / began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned ms if it was on fire. 1t
became finally SO delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. Ny inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept me i'll bed most of the time i was
really starving to death and besides was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
perplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which 1 was too weak to attempt.
"One day when I was so faint md
chilled that could do othing but crouch
down OIL the floor by the fire, my father
brought me boz of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. 1 found OH trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. i really felt better
after three doses and l kept on using
them. Food began to taste well and to
stay down. The pain and the burning
in the pit of my stomach lessened and Mt
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
165 pounds and my neighbors, who
We're convinced that / was wasting to
death before, were astonishcd Mt the
change. resumed my houscworlk and
have hardly had occasion to call II doctor
since. l have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to several friends, and
] say to the pale, thin ones particularly,
If you want to get strong and well take
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People"
These pills cure stomach trouble by
their tonic action, building up the di-
gestive organs and enabling them to do
the work that nature intended them to
do. They are sold by all dealers, or will
be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty
cents a box or six boxes for two dollars
and n half, by addressing DIR. Williams

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE
Proposed to Hague Signatories by
President Roosevelt.

Washington. Oct. 31.-In circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out the
Presidents instructions relative to
proposing a second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the
re-assembling of The Hague confer
ence for the consideration of questions
specifically mentioned by the original
conference, as demanding further at
tention, such as the rights and duties
of neutrals, the inyiolability of private
property in naval warfare and the bonn
bardment of ports by naval forces, but
goes further by practically endorsing
the project of a general system OF ar
bitration treaties and the establish
ment of an international congress to
meet periodically in the interest OF
peace.
The issue OF the call while the pres
ent war is in progress is justified by
the fact that the first Hague confer
ence was called before our treaty with
Spain was concluded.

ELECTRIC MOTOR
MAY suPPLANT STEAM ENGINE

Painting, Putting, screeehins Steam, le.
connective Is Doomed.-Eicetrie Mo-
tor Is Not Only Cleaner and Less
Noisy, But Actually Cheaper.
Although it has been one Of the
greatest factors in the development OF
this country. the steam locomotive is
doomed. That painting, putting,
screeching monster. belching clouds of
smoke and showering cinders. must
give way to the electric motor. with
out noise or dirt. for the transportation
of both freight and passenger trains.
Years ago it was demonstrated that
for passenger traffic on short lines in
densely populated districts, electricity
was in every way superior to steam as
motive power.
While reluctantly admitting that
fact, managers of steam railways de
clared that for long distance passen-
ger trains and freight trains. electric
power would be inadequate, excessive
in cost, and therefore impracticable.
1t was claimed that until electricity
could be generated without the use OF
steam 1t would be more economical
ana efficient to use steam direct in en-
gines.
Actual tests made recently have
demonstrated that the cost of trans
portation is greater by the steam en-.
CINE than by the electric engine. A
steam train OF five cars and standard
engine weighs 230 tons, and will &C
commodate 1913 passengers. 1t uses at
full speed ! 400 horse power. The cleo
trio motor and four trailer cars weigh
$50 tons. seat $50 passengers and use
1000 horse power. The electric train
weighs less. uses less horse power. car.
ries more passengers and goes faster.
Some half dozen railways in this
country have followed the lead of the
New York Central and arranged to
use electric power on portions of their
lines now being operated Mt loss with
steam power. Practical tests made on
the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley
roads, owned by the Westinghouse
company, show an economy of thirty
per cent as compared with the steam
system.
Steam railway managers everywhere
are exceedingly interested in results
being secured on the Ballston extern
sion OF the Schenectady railway,
where cars are run with alternating
current equipment just perfected. The
motors used can be run either from n
1000 volt alternating current stepped
down in the car to 400 volts. or from
600-volt direct current. The electric
railway motors in general use are op.
Grated. as is well known. by direct
current with a trolley voltage of about
600 volts.
1t is claimed that the new motor,
which can use direct or alternating
currents of widely varying voltage has
cleared the way for the adoption OF
electric power for light or heavy trains
freight or passenger. on lines of any
length.
