proach to real anxiety she had ever
exhibited.
When an Englishman boasts. his
hearers put him down rightly as a mere
braggart; but it is dangerous to judge an
American on the same lines He may
boast, but, in his own language, he
makes good
Say" remarked Bradshaw confident
ly, there aren't any two men in the
county who are going to get ahead of me
when l spread myself"
He swung himself lightly into the
saddle, took his hat off, with a kindly
smile to Edith and an ardent glance at
Phyllis. and cantered off with the easy
swing of the Western prairies.
On to the village; two minutes of hasty
chat with Brading, who, according to
custom, had gone down to mix with the
villagers; and then onward accompanied
by Wilson, until he reached the point
where May Mannering had seen Warren
drive past.
That will do" said Bradshaw Il
will play lone hand now. Keep your
mouth shut, partner, and you are liable
to earn some money"
The American trotted slowly along the
narrow road, scanning every inch as he
went. There was no trail that it was
possible to follow, although in his time he
had been scout against the Apaches, an
occupation which is in its way probably
the most appalling offered by that ter
rible profession which exists for the better
DETACHMENT of Gods image.
But he was not looking for tracks on
the road There were altogether too
many of them. What he wanted was an
indication of tracks leaving road. And
presently he found them. The line of
the dog-cart over the moor was so distinct
that he could follow it at hand gallop.
To man who had ridden the prairies, the
inequalities of the ground offered no
obstacles, He just hung his rein loose
and left matters to the horse.
He held on until he came in sight of
the deserted shooting-box, a place built
almost like Martello tower. He pulled
up his horse.
Il guess he murmured softly, and
then, as the face of Leigh appeared at one
of the windows: "Surest thing you
know" still quietly. And without fur
ther ado, he tethered his horse to a
stump and walked briskly toward the
door.
Leigh met him. Bradshaw had ex-
pected him to meet him, and the two
men stood little apart, eying each other
warily.
Now" said Bradshaw, in placid self
" if l didn't have little gun
in my pocket, thirty-eight caHber, self
cooking, safety trigger, I'd get licked out
Of my socks. l wouldn't fight that
man in square rough and tumble for
eleven and half million dollars"
Leigh, however, did not seem inclined
to fight, He had often seen Bradshaw
at the inn, and he made clumsy attempt
to pass matters over.
"Good-day, sir," he said pulling at his
greasy cap.
Il know" replied Bradshaw. But
where is Dr. Lester?"
The gypsy started, and then stepped
Onward threateningly You know too
much, MASTER" he growled.

that the position of first rank in all coal
and iron fields in America belongs to the
Birmingham district. It's industrial fu-

That is what Thomas II. Sayre of South
Bethlehem, Pa, the president of the
Sayre Manufacturing and Mining com
pany, and one of the veteran coal and
iron masters of America, said when he
was in Birmingham a few weeks ago.
Though more than four score years of

est in Industrial affairs today that char
acterized him when as young man
sixty years ago he began to devote his
attention to the coal and iron business
Among coal, iron and steel men through
out the country he Is recognized as a

The Largest Civilized Nation.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The United States is by far the largest
of all the civilized nations except Rus
STA, which has about 1870, 600 inhabit-
ants. The German empire has 56,000,000,
Austria Hungary 1900 900, Japan 47,000,
900, the United Kingdom 42.00O,000 France
IS, 600 900, Italy 80, 100000, and Spain 1S,000,-
co., China has 350,000,0O0, but she does
not count in calculation of this sort.
Owing to the rapid growth of the United
States, the English language is spoken
by more persons than use any other civ
ilized tongue Charles V said he spoke
German to his horse, French to men,
Italian to his lady friends and Spanish
to God. In his days, three and a half
centuries ago Spain was land on which
the sun never set, England was only a
small spot on the map, and the Eng
lish language held only a minor place
in the civilized tongues. Today 130,000,000
of people speak English, 100,000,000 speak
Russian (for not all the people of the
empire talk the national tongue), 75,000,
900 use German, 100000 employ Span
ish, including the inhabitants of the
LATINA American countries, and 100000
speak French Moreover, the lead for
English is rapidly frightening. Nearly
two-thirds of all the people who speak
the English tongue are in the United
