Gar ArreSted-For a Minute.

Motorists will be amused to hear of
an adventure which befeH the car
when he was staying at Darmstadt a
short time ago. The car was driving
in a motor car with Prince and Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia and the Grand
Duke of Hesse, and, when passing
through Bockenheim, a suburb of
Frankfort, the car slipped on the
greasy cobble-stones and came in con.
tact with the wall Of house. Happily
no harm was done, but the car had
hardly been backed into the road again
when a policeman stopped it and de
manded the name of the owner. Tho
car replied Il am the Emperor OF
Russia" and the policeman was SC
taken aback that he let the car go on
without taking any further steps. The
czarina was much amused at the in
cident, and it is said that she has
made the momentary arrest of the
car the subject OF one of her carica
tures.-London Sketch.

floating trade, and which supplied III
commercial or professional wants.
The resident one third was the nu-
cleus of the real Ellisville that was
to be. The social compact was still
in embryo. Life was very simple. It
was the day of the individual, the
day before the law.
With this rude setting there was to
be enacted a rapid drama of material
progress such as the world has never
elsewhere seen; but first there must
be played the wild prologue of the
West, never at any time to have a
more lurid scene than here at the
Halfway House of continent, at the
intersection of the grand transconti-
mental trails. the bloody angle of the
plains. Eight men in day, score
in week, met death by violence.
The street in the cemetery doubled
before that of the town. There were
more graves than houses. This SUI
perbly wasteful day, how could 1t
presage that which was to come? In
this riotous army of invasion, who
could have foreseen the population
which was to follow, adventurous yet
tenacious, resolved first upon indie
pendence, and next upon knowledge.
and then upon the fruits of knowl-
edge? Nay, perhaps, after all, the
prescience of this coming time lay
over Eilisville the Red, so that it
roared the more tempestuously on
through it's brief, braZen day.

THE LANGUAGE OF sHELLFIsH.
Warn Cne Another of Danger by
Weird CLICKING Sounds.

Weird Clicking Sounds.
Most seamen will tell of curious
clicking sounds heard on calm nights
at sea, and the origin of the noise
seems so altogether unaccountable
that it has often created some alarm
among superstitious fishermen.
A distinguished naturalist made a
careful study of the Sounds on many
occasions, and found that it was not a
sustained note, but made up of a null.
titude of tiny ones, each clear and dis.
tinct in itself, and ranging from a
high treble down to a bass. When the
ear was applied to the gunwale of the
boat, the sound grew more intense,
and in some places, es the boat moved
on, 1t could not be heard at ALL
On other occasions the sounds re.
sembled the tollirg of bells, the boom.
ing of guns and the notes of an
Eolian harp.
For long time he was unable to
trace the cause, but at length discov
cred that the sounds were made by
shellfish, hundreds of them opening
their shells and closing them with
sharp snaps. The noise, partly mufiled
by the water. sounded indescribably
weird. He was finally led to the
conclusion that, as the shellfish made
the sounds, they probably had some
meaning, and that the clicks might
possibly be warning of danger when
the shallow water was disturbed by
the boat.

Franklin impetuously., This is at
least not the first time we have met"
In any ordinary duel of small talk this
had not been so bad an attack, yet
now the results were something which
neither could heve foreseen. To the
mind of the girl the words were shock
Ing, rude, brutal. They brought up
again the whole scene of the battle
field. She shuddered, and upon her
face there fell the shadow Of an ha-
bitual sadness.

CHAPTER XIV.
EllisviIle the Red.

EllisVllIe the Red.
Gourdlika, Ellisville grew up in a
night. 1t was not, and 10! it was.
Silently, steadily, the people came to
this rallying place, dropping in from
every corner of the stars. The long
street spun out still longer its string
of toylike wooden houses. The Cot.
tage Hotel had long since lost its key,
and day and night there went on vast
revelry among the men of the wild,
wide West, then seeing for the first
time what seemed to them the joy
and glory of life.
Land and cattle, cattle and land.
These themes were upon the lips of
all, and in those days were topics Of
peace and harmony. The cattleman
still stood for the nomadic and I'M
and glorious tradition. The man who
sought for land was not yet recog-
niEed as the homesteader, the man of
anchored craft, of settled convictions.

Franklin bowed his head between

The leisurely foot of Buford sound

on the door jam as he entered.
"Well, niece" said he, Mrs. Euford

for home right soon now"
Mary Ellen rose and bowed to
Franklin as she passed to leave the
room; but perhaps neither she nor
Franklin was fully conscious of the
leave-taking. Buford saw nothing out
of the way, but turned and held out
his hand. "By the way, Captain
Franklin" said he, I'm mighty glad
to meet you, sir-mighty glad. We
shall want you to come down and see
us often. 1t isn't very far-only about
twenty-five miles south. They call our
place the Halfway Ranch. and it's not
a bad name, for it's Only about half

But 1t seems as though had al
ways known you," said Franklin, turn
Ing again toward the tall figure at the
window. There was no reply to this,
neither was there wavering in the at
utude OF the head whose glossy back
was turned to him at that moment.
1T was like some forgotten strain
OF mujic!" he Numbered on. feeling
how hopeless, how distinctly absurd
was all his speech. II surely must
always have known you, somewhere"
Mary Ellen still gazed out of the
window. In her mind there was a
scene strangely different from this
which she beheld. She recalled the
green forests and the yellow farms of
Louisburg, the droning bees, the
broken flowers and all the details of
that sodden, stricken field. With
shudder there came over her a swift
resentment at meeting here, near at
hand, one who had had q share in
that scene Of desolation.
She turned toward him slowly at
length, and so far from seeming Sc
rious, her features bore the traces of
a smile. do you know" said she,

Franklin colored. 1.-THE story was

"Friends?" said Buford cheerily, the
