For, some distance the way led along
comparatively high ground. Then,
skirting the edge Of lake, it plunged
into deep creek bottom between hills.
Here earlier in the year eleven bridges
had been constructed. and perhaps as
many swampy places had been cor
duroyed" by carpeting them with long
parallel poles. Now the first difficulty
began.
Some of the bridges had sunk below
the level. and the approaches had to
be 'corduroyed" to a practicable grade.
Others again were bumped UP like tom
cats and had to be pulled apart en-
tirely.
Still that sort of thing was 10 be eA-
pected. A gang OF men who followed
the pillow carried axes and cant hooks
for the purpose Of repairing extern
poraneousiy just such defects which
never would have been discovered 9th
erwise than by the practical expert
ence Railway himself accompanied
the pillow. Thorpe, who went along as
one of the road monkeys" saw now
why such care had been required OF
him In smoothing the way of stubs,
i knots and hummorks.
When the road had been partly
cleaned Railway started one of his
sprinklers. Water holes OF suitable
size had been blown In the creek bank
by dynamite. There the machines
were filled Stratton attached his horse
to the chain and drove him back and
forth, hauling the barrel up and down
the slide way. At the bottom 1t was
capsized and filed by means of q long
pole shackled to It's bottom and manip-
ulated by old man Heath At the top

CARMEN SYLVIA ON
UNHAPPY MARRIAGES.

There is general feeling among
mankind that it is better to endure than
to cut the tie except in cases where the
welfare of a whole family is in Ques-
ton.
The problem is one Of the most ardu-
Gus and delicate that has ever come up
for consideration, nor can It be solved
unless viewed from high, much
higher, plane on which both spouses
will one day take their stand. AS soon
as they have come to see that they
were mistaken and are Ill assorted they
should ask themselves for what pur-
pose they have had to take the step
seemingly an error-what service they
were destined to render to mankind.
Most people fancy they possess the
right, especially in the matrimonial
state, to bear only. themselves in mind.
and great is the damage which they
cause mankind thereby, for they are
| here for the purpose of giving to the
world more perfect, purer. nobler be-
| ings than they themselves are. II.
then, we could bring ourselves to look
upon marriage as holy sacrifice, an
! act of perfect self abnegation, we

but that is quite another question. In
deed. it is problematical whether we are
on the earth at all for the purpose OF
attaining happiness. Certainly. if we
consider the destinies of man and the
sufferings of innocent animals, terres-
trial bliss assumes shadowy form, and
l<t ~f ryy1ixy a
very different light.
| In every nation marriage bears the
impress of the peculiar needs of the
race. Therefore it is impossible to lay
down general laws and regulations on
| the subject but it behooves the indi-
viduals themselves to ennoble and per-
| feet themselves In this matter as in ev-
erything else There would be no wo-
man s. question if marriage We're treat-
ed in a manner different from that
which has been so widely prevalent.
! Men were intent on having handmade
ems. women on captivating heroes,
whereas the men fell short of the hes
roic, while the women We're unable tc
bear the yoke under which the males
strove to keep them.
/ Thus the door was opened wide to all

distrust, violence, selfishness and end
less evils-for in marriage people fancy
they can throw off all restraint, heed
less Of the fact that when they act thus
| their shortcomings assume colossal dl-
mansions and their good qualities
dwindle to nothingness. In marriage
more than in any other form OF reia-.
tionship one should never throw the
reins aside, but always keep hrm
hand upon ones will. Even an unscA-
sonable yawn is sometimes enough to
produce whole drama, for 1t betrays
apathy and indifference at the very mo-
ment. If may be. which the other spouse
deemed most favorable for communion
of souls. On the other hand, the tive
life partners busted apart often comt
together when tired and Jaded, and
WEAKNESS alone Is enough to make
them more irritable and indifferent
whereas every meeting ought to be

In a squalid tenement in Addison
street, a negro quarter of Philadel-
phia, Hannah Elias was born in 1865.
Her fathe was an Indian with an ad-
mixture of negro blood. Her mother.
too was of mixed blood. Hannah
was extraordinarily bright and proved
an apt scholar at the school of indus
try, a Quaker institution. In her nine
teenth year she was sent out in ser
vice to earn her share of the family
expenses. Desire to shine at sisters
wedding led her to commit theft,
for which she was sent to prison. Her
fall thereafter was rapid.
A turn in her fortunes came in 1885,
when she met John r. Plat, retired
glass manufacturer and millionaire. 1t
was chance meeting on the side
walk. engineered by the woman's clev-
erness. The venerable merchant sus-
pected neither the race nor character
OF the denlure and pretty woman who
shyly stopped him and lulled his sus-
picions as she revealed a story OF mis-
fortune by clever reference to his faith
erly appearance. He was rs and she
80. Mr.. Plat had made a sworn de-
position that he believed her story
that she was virtuous single woman
Of Spanish extraction. Her intrigue
prospered. He became her protector.
The rest was easy.

watching every point of possible

sunday night. 1t was limited to Platt's
LAWYER that Mrs. Elias would take
advantage of the Sunday law to de-
camp,
1t is said that the two assistant dis
frict lawyers, having listened to both
sides voiced their opinions that the
prosecution did not have leg to stand
upon. A directly contrary report is
that Lord and kernochan reached a
decision that the case should be taken
before the June grand jury yesterday,
and that Platts lawyers objected.
The Elias woman's daughter has
come Ia from Philadelphia TO charge
her mother with abandonment.
It was shocking tragedy that
entire country and brought to light the
wonderful story of Mrs. Elias career.
On Nov. Is, 1908. Cornelius Will
Jams, the woman's discarded friend,
of decade, shot and killed Andrew
II. Green. the Father of Greater New
York. on the doorstep of his Park
avenue home. Williams told his in

tail OF the woman's life but the name
OF her wealthy patron was ferreted out
by the press. The district attorney
was i'll in bed. She confessed
everything to him. She dis
closed the name of John r. Platt

ye. SO effective. 1t showed.
All night and ali day the great fakes
zigza gged softly down through the air
Railway plowed away two feet OF It,
1'he surface was promptly covered by
second storm. Rsdwsy doSgedly
plowed it out again.
This time the goddess seemed to re-
lent. The ground froze solid. The
sprinklcrs became assiduous In their
labor. Two days later the road was
ready FOR the first sleigh, its surface
OF thick, CLASSY ice beautiful to be-
hold. the ruts cut deep and true, the
glades sanded or sprinkled with re-
tRrGing hay on the descents. At the
river the banking ground proved solid.
Railway breathAd again, then sighed.
Spring was eight days nearer. He was
eight days more behind
AS soon as loading began the cook
served breakfast at o'clock. The men
worked by the light Of torches, which
were often merely catchup jugs with
Wicking in tie necks. Nothing could
be more picturesque than a teamster
conducting one of his great pyramid
zeal loads over the little inequalities of
the road, in the ticklish places stand
ing atop with the bent knee of the Ro-
man charotecr, spying and forestall-
ing the chances Of the way with q fixed
eye and an intense concentration that
relaxed not one inch in the miles Of
the haul. Thorpe had become full
tiedged cant hook man.
He liked the work. There Is about It
q skill that fascinatcs. A man grips
suddenly with the hook of his strong
instrument, stopping one end that the
other may slide. He tbrusts the short,
strong stock between the log and the
skid, allowing it to be overrun. He
stops the roll with sudden sure grasp
applied at just the right moment to be
effective Sometimes he allows himself
to be carried up bodily, clinging to the
cant hook like an acrobat to bar, I'M
til the log has rolled once. when, bis
weapon l0osened, he drops lightly, cas-
lily to the ground. And it is exciting to
pile the logs on the sleigh. first layer
of five, say; then one of four smaller, of
but three. Of two. until at the very
apex the last is dragged slowly up the
skids. poised and just as 1t is about to
plunge down the other side is gripped
and held inexorably by the little men
in blue flannel shirts
Chains bind the loads. And II ever
during the loading or afterward when
the sleigh is in motion the weight OF
the logs causes the pyramid to break
down and squash out, then woe to the
driver or whoever happens to be near.
For this reason the leaders are picked
and careful men.
At the banking grounds. which lie in
and about the bed of the river. the logs
are piled into gigantic skidway to
await the spring freshets, which will
carry them down stream to the boom"
In that Enclosure they remain until
sawed in the mill.
