Gun to Have Immense Range.

A gun which will throw a projectile
ffty-nine miles, OF, to be accurate,
59.117 miles, is one of the immediate
possibilities in ordnance, owing to a

now in use at Reading by J. Hamilton
Brown.
In order to convey more strikingly
to the mind what this means, it may
be said for illustration that a war

In reciting the different articles ex-
ported to the United States, in his
annual report, U. S. Consul F. B.
Keene of Florence, Italy, says:
Next in value are antiquities of
every kind, description and alleged
epoch, but most of them such clever
limitations as to require experts to de-
tect the deception.
1.-The only competent judges in the
matter are the officials of the govern
ment galleries. whose duty it is to in
spect and seal all cases of works of
art intended for expectation.
Should they, however, find any pre-
cious ancient pieces. they ex oficio,
hinder the expectation, yet thousands
of cases are classified as ancient art

The men rode on in silence; there
was a solemnity around them that
hushed all light words. The enormity
of their undertaking dawned more
and more upon them; to search for a
man in that wilderness with the noun
tain's haert for his hiding place and
its robe of haze for his shield was abb
surd. There were chcsms and dan
winding paths, lodges hidden by haze
that would swallow man as COM

trace, massive rocks overhead that
tremor of the mountain would hurl
upon them. No wonder the men grew
silent and allowed the horses to have
their way; man could not follow the

They came at last to the path up
the mountain, and the horses refused
to take it until urged by whip and
spur. 1t was path that shielded all
beyond it, as though the mountain
had made a fastness that none could
break. The horses toiled up slowly,
slipping now and again on the treach-

beneath their very feet. Their voices,
as they shouted in hopes Of a reply

VICTIM OF NOVEL ACCIDENT.
Woman Awakens to Find Herself on
Top of a Freight Car.

lOk VI q TfCiHfIh Odfs
Mrs. Joseph Callowitz went to bed
at her home at Centralia, Pa, and
woke up in the morning on top Of q
box car.
The car. one of an extra west-bound
freight train on the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, jumped the track at Railroad
street and Locust avenue, on the
northwest corner OF which the Gallo
witt restaurant and residence is To-
Gated. It turned at right angles with
the track and plunged into the build
ing. II cut a swath eight feet wide
through the barroom.
The car was so high that 1t reached
the first floor ceiling. and as 1t dashed
into the house it tore out the floor OF
the room above the saloon, in which
Mrs. Calloyitz and an infant we're
asleep. The car roof took the place
of the floor. and Mrs. Callowitz's bed
settled firmly upon it.
Trainmen and neighbors came to
her assistance and by means OF a
plank she reached rear room with
her infant and secured clothing. She
was uninjured, beyond slight cut on
the nose.

CHAPTER Vii.
The Strayed Cow.


Dolores sat In the doorway wait
tavern He had been to the house
while she was over the mountain, and
had his supper She herself had eaten
nothing, for she had no appetite in
spite OF her walk over the mountain.
She was quite idle, her hands in
their old listless attitude in her lap,
her dark head resting against the
implanted door post. her grave face
and thoughtful eyes raised to the
heavens. The moonlight falling across
her face defined it clear and perfect
as marble; upon the clean bare floor
behind her lay her shadow long and
dark.
The night was silent; the distant
sound of rude singing from the tay-
ern died away; the gifts went out
one after another in the long, low
houses. Dolores began to wonder
vaguely why her father did not come.
Midnight had passed; the hours licked
away one by one on the big clock
in the corner, the moon hung round
and golden above the mountain peaks
in the west; in the east streak OF
whittier light appeared, broadened and
deepened. The girls shadow disap-
peared from the floor; 1t lay in front
of her on the door stone.
The COW was cropping the grass on
the roadside, her breathing deep and
contented. Lode, the next neighbor,
came up the road with bucket His
well was low in this dry weather;
Johnson's well was public property at
such times.
"A sheer day." he said apologetical-
ly, looking at the brindle.
Dolores reused herself, slow
thought coming to her mind. Il have
been waiting for my father she said.
'Is he still at the tavern?"
Lodie held the bucket suspended
half way down the well; dull sur
prise was the leading expression on
his face.
Don't ye know where he went,
D'Iores! Warn't We hyar when he
KEN up fer his gun an started ter
hunt Their COW over yander on Their
mounting? Their cow is hyar;
where's yer feyther?"
A sudden sharp fear woke in her
mind; she arose and faced Lode, the
sunlight on her head.
'1f he went over on the opposite
mountain to hunt Brindle and has not
returned he must have lost his road,
or gotten hurt, or something to keep
him"
Eyes" said Lode. slowly. An
theys want him ct Their court ter-day;
eff he amt thyar they'll KEN fer him;
theys sweared they'd hev him. fer
Their thing kyant be settled tell he
goes"
He swung the bucket up on the
edge of the well and passed down the
road in silence, his slouching figure
like a blot on the exquisite landscape.
Breakfast was ready, and Dolores
went in and set the potatoes and ba-
con at one side of the hearth; the
coffee was ready to make; she never
made that till it was ready to be
drank. When all was ready within |
she went out to the bank under the |
zines. The sun was high and warm, |
but under the pines the shadows were |
oOol and dark; and there she waited |
for her father.
