her mind fore she was ten years old,
an she's pestered me ever since ter git
her canvas an paints an sich. But
then, I'm willin' ter" he added In q
tender tone. Telly's q good girl, an

added, "Thar's whar the other. ones

This one has grown to be very
beautiful GIRL" said Albert quietly,
"and you have reason to be proud Of
her"
Uncle Terry made no reply, but
seemed lost in n reverie, and Albert
slowly puffed his cigar and looked out
on the ocean and along the ever widen
ing path Of moonlight He wished
that this fair girl, so quantity spoken
OF, We're there beside him, that he
might talk to her about her art. How
1t could be managed and what excuse
to give for remaining longer than the
morrow he could not see. He looked
toward the house, white In the moon
light, with the tall lighthouse and it's
beacon flash just beyond, and Won
dered IL he should see the girl again
that night. He was on the point Of
suggesting they go in and visit little
with the ladies when Uncle Terry
said:
II believe ye called yerself a lawyer,
Mr.. Page, an from Boston. Do ye hap

looks to me as honest" continued Uncle
Terry, what Is yer honest opinion Of

''That Is a question would rather
not answer" replied Albert, until 1

opinion Of Mr.. Frye is. Mine might not

Uncle Terry was silent, evidently re-

waterrossea servI.n..

An Englishwoman travelling in Ser
via thus gives striking glimpse Of
her own prejudices and tastes: 1.-The
Servians drink too much cold water,
and they drink 1t till they are pulpy.
An average Serb drinks enough cold
water for IN English cow. doubt
whether the language contains an
equivalent for bad training for when
1 tried to explain the idea It created
surprise. A doctor told me he had
never heard the theory before. To him
It seemed natural and wholesome
habit. Moreover, he added, there is
plenty and seemed to think 1t was
rather wasteful to leave any unswal-
lowed. To me 1t explained the lack Of
activity. The nation Is waterlogged.
All day long and every day the Serb
calls for q glass of cold water, and
when he has drunk 1t he calls for an
other. Perhaps owing to this he has
little space for alcohol. At any rate,
1 never saw drunken man, even
among the, peasants" :.

the world and all Its distractions. For
a few moments he stood contemplating
the ocean alight with the setting suns
red glow, the gray rocks at his feet and
the tall white lighthouse towering
above him, and then started around the
point. He had not taken ten steps
when he saw the fgure~of a girl lean
Ing against q rock and watching the
sstting sun. One elbow was resting on
tho rock. her face reposing in her open
hand and fingers half hid in the thick
masses Of hair that shone In the sun
light like FURNISHED gold. A broad sun
hat lay on the rock, and the delicate
profile Of her face was sharply outlined
against the western sky.
She had not heard Albert's steps, but
stood there unconscious Of his scrutiny
He noted the classic contour Of her fea-
lures, the delicate oval of her lips and
chin, and his artist eye dwelt upon and
admired her rounded bosom and per-
feet shoulders. Had she posed for q
picture she could not have chosen bet
ter position, and was SO alluring and
withal so sweet and unconscious that
for moment he forgot all else, even
his own rudeness In standing there and
staring at her. Then he recovered him.

steps SO as not to disturb her. Who
she was he had no idea and was still
wondering when he met Uncle Terry,
who ut once invited him into the house.
This 'ere's Mr.. Page, Lfssy," he said
as they entered and met stout, elder
ly and gray haired woman. T found
him up the road a spell an wantin' to
know whar he was"
Albert bowed.
II am sorry to intrude," he said, ''but
had lost my boat and all points Of the
compass when your husband kindly
took me in charge"
Being offered a chair, Albert sat
down and was left alone. He surveyed
the plainly furnished sitting room. with
open fireplace, a many colored rag car
pet on the floor, old fashioned chairs
and dozens of pictures on the walls.
They caught his eye at once, mainly
because of the oddity Of the frames,
which were evidently homemade, and
then a door was opened, and Uncle Ter
~ invited him into lighted room
where a table was set. The elderly
lady was standing at one end of it and
beside her a younger one, and as Al

GREAT PROJECTS AFoor.
Current Year VIII He Memorable In
History of Engineering.

Current Year VIII He Memorable In
History of Engineering.
The year 1904 promises to he one Of
unusual Importance in the annals Of en-
gineering progress on the North Ameri-
can continent. In all human possibili-
ty we will see inauguratcd during the
year several srcNt engineering works,
great not only in tie magnitude of the
operations involved. but III t!;cir pro-
spective influence upon conmrrceSand
industry, both national and interna-
tiOnal.
The first o! these great tasks to be
undertaken is the construction of the
isthmian canal. The dimensions of
this problem arc vast as measured by
similar enterprises in other parts of the
world, and the opportunity will now
be given to American engineers and
American contractors and builders Of
machinery to utilize all that knowledge,
skill and experience in conducting pub
lie works that have already done SO
much TO make our own country great.
The economical solution of the. problem
calls for mechanical appliances to de-
gree almost unprecedented, and for this
machinery we confidently look to our
own engineers and to our own shops.
Another great engineering enterprise,
already started, but to be energeticaIly
pushed this year, Is the plan Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to con-
meet its system with the cities Of New
York and Brooklyn by tunneling under
the Hudson and East rivers. Here,
ic fhof IN, fk, ol,,k;1
includes new and practically untried
engineering methods.
In the state Of New York the popu-
lar vote technically approves Of the ex-
penditure Of hundred or more mil
lions upon the thousand ton barge ca
nal connecting the great lakes with the
Atlantic seaboard.
In many Of the inland states the COM
panies controlling the great railway
systems have an enormous volume Of
work either in progress or contemplate
ed which has for its object the crea-
ton Of new works to take the place of
those planned and executed by q past
generation Of engineers.
The enormous traffic developed by
the growth Of our domestic commerce
has brought into use heavier locomo-
tives, larger cars and stronger bridges,
and the resulting saving in operating
expenditures now warrants an outlay
for reduction In distances, gradients
and curvature that would have been
deemed wasteful extravaganza by the
preceding generation.
Horthward, in the Canadian posses
sions, the coming year will doubtless
see notable beginning made In what
will become another great transconti.
mental railway. This Grand Trunk
Pacific railway will be nearly 1000
miles long and will connect the At
lantic seabonrd at Halifax with the
shores of the Pacific ocean ut Port
Simpson. 1t will be the most north
erly railway line Of Importance on the
continent, practically following for
much Of Its length the great divide
separating the waters of the st. Law
renee basin from those of Hudson bay.
Its purpose is to open up to population,
trade and commerce vast areas Of
wheat land, timber land and mines
that are now valueless by reason Of
the lack Of transportation facilities.
