that treasured him. His long expe-
rience had rendered him adept at TAX
ing mans value at glance. He
slightly lifted his face and said:
"Ah, but the poor little girl! Why do
you persecute her? She really does
not deserve it. She is noble child.
Give her back to her home and her peo-
pie. Do not soil and spoil her sweet

He paused slightly, then added with
passionate force, II would do anything,

again, with raw wind creeping from

Father Beret presently added, and to-
(; gether they went, the priest covering

folds of his cassock.

cuse him of the exploit over Which the
entire garrison was wondering. Farms
worth sat by during the interview. He
looked the good priest curiously and
critically over from head to foot, re-
membering, but not mentioning, the
most unclerical punch in the side re-
ceived from that energetic right arm
now lying so fabbily across the old
mans lap.
When the talk ended and Father Be-
ret humbly took his leave, Hamilton
turned to Farnsworth and said:
"What do you think Of this affair?

took part in it, and every one of them
says simply priest or devil. think old
Beret is both. but plainly he couldn't
hurt a chicken; you can see that ut q

Farnsworth smiled, rubbing his side
reminiscently. but he shook his head:
"I'm sure it's puzzling. indeed"
Hamilton sat in thoughtful silence
for awhile. then abruptly changed the
subject.

Farnsworth knew Hamilton's atlre
and he now saw that Alice was in
dreadful danger of death or something
even worse. No sooner had he left
headquarters and given Barlow his in
structions touching the hunting expedi-
ton than his mind began to wander
amid visions and schemes by no means
consistent with his military obligations.
In order to reflect undisturbed he went
forth into the dreary, lanelike streets of
Vincennes and walked aimlessly here
and there until he met Father Beret.
Farnsworth saluted the old man and
was passing him by when, seeing a
sword in his hand half hidden In the
folds of his worn and faded cassock, he
turned and addressed him:

THE VESUVIAN TROLLEY LINE.
Tourists May Now Visit the yolcano's Crater without tie TTou6ie
 of Climbing.

Modernism has made no more re- harkable stride of late years than around the famous volcano which once showered dust and lava upon the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. A new electric railway has just been completed by which the traveller can now reach the smoking crater of Vesuvius in comfortable car The new line starts from Pugliano at the base of the vel cano and within a short distance of the shore of the Bay of Naples. The trip from Naples itself can be accomplished in an electric tram car and the old ca- ble railway up the cone has itself been electrified so that practically the whole journey from Naples to the cone can now be made by electrical propulsion.
 The new railway has been constructed by the world-famous firm of Sock. who have worked the cable railway up the cone for the past b years. The total length of the railway is just over four and one-half miles. It is built up of three sections. the first and third of which have ordinary smooth rails, he second section having an additional cog rail The first section of the railway passes through lovely vine-clad zone on which are grown the grapes which make the famous "Lacrima Christi" wine. The houses are gradually left behind as one approaches the second section This section is the steenest part of the journey. the ears. which are seIf-propelling on the easier gradients. being here disconnected from the cur rent and pushed up the slope by an elee- trie locomotive with two motors and elaborate brake attachments
 The power station is situated at the lower end of the steep section and large hotel at the upper station. known as the Hermitage from the terraces of which splendid views can be obtained. All the way up the steep section the line is hordered with yerdure, and the Hermitage" is itself embowered in greenery. but on passing this point a sudden change occurs. The true nature of the mountain shows itself without any veneer of vegetation ta cover it's ashy sides. Fields of brown lava stretch away in all directions as the car mounts to the bottom Of the funieular railway which carries the traYeler al most to the lip of the crater itself. A few more paees and one has reached the scene of horrid activity which has bur- jed cities in the past and may yet bury them again ia the future.

Not long ago a hartebeest was pulled down close to the railway Headquarters, while in March last, when Sir Jotn Kirk and Sir George Whitehouse were traYeiing down the line, a telegram was sent mp 10 warn their engineer to ap- pro3ch the next station with caution, as the switches could not be put over ow- ing to the presence of four lions in the station yard. The writer, passing down the line last April. saw hartebeest lg ing cose to Athi river station which he'd been killed in the night, and the station master reported many great roarings in the night time. :"
 All the gangs on the line and the staff at the stations have huts of corrugated iron, which give them perfect safety at night. Very fair fishing can be got in the Athi river. but it Is as well to carry a rifle with the rod, as the banks of the river are often visited by lions. a sports man having once met five Hons close to where he had been fishing all the after noon, the Nairobi bungalows being in sight at the time. Leaving camp early neXt morning a rhinoeeros broke out of some bushes close by, while eight ostrches and several herds of hartebeest ard zebra, with another "rhino," were passed on the way home
 The site of the town of Nairobi was. in prerailway days, great hunting ground; line of game pits extended for a great distance round the base of the hills that overlook the station, in which natives lay while the game was driven over them. Most of these pits are now filled up, as they became danger to passers- by. but the line of them will be still visible in the grass for some time to come.
 At Port Florence. the lake terminus, passengers staying in the dak bungalow close to the shore can often hear the blowing of the hippopotamus at night. and their three quick grunts as they call to each other, while many can be seen during the forenoon rising and sinking in the shallow water of the shore some little distance outside the station. As many as 25 have been counted together while great numbers can be seen in less freGuented parts of the coast to the south From the steamers which nov run regularly across to Entebbe there are several spots to be seen which are certain firds for crocodiles. hoot on the syren always causing them tc scramble hastily into the water.

THE CAME COUNTRY
Sights to Be Seen Along the New

Wild Animals That Are Visible from the Car W Nindows-Home of His Majesty, the Lion-Some

In the days when the first railroads were built across our western plains one of the sights Of a journey across the continent was the herds of buffalo. and other game, that might be seen from the car window. and these sights induced many 8 scenic-loYing tourist 10 make the trip from the Mississippi to the Pacific. In this country these sights have disappeared, but something of the same kind may be found along the line of the Uganda railway in Africa.
 To travellers by this new railway the most interesting sight to be seen is that of the great herds of game, from the tiny pa" that trots unconcernedIy out of the way of the eowcateher, to the bulky rhinoceros, with the by no means rare appearance of family Of lions.
