CHAPTER XVI.

1t may be imagined with what breath
less interest l listened to Mr.. Mont
gomery's story for it is almost needless
to remark that in Judith Stokes and her
father | recognized the Rev. Mr.. Porter
and his daughter. The events related
could not have occurred very long before
| was sent as a little child to Taber-
nacle House. But this early connection
of Judith with Mr.. Rodwell was some
what puzzling, for l had never seen
him come to the house farther back than
about eighteen months before l left it.
Once, while the narration was proceed
ing, l debated within myself whether l
should inform Mr.. Montgomery of the
identity of "Bilr' Stokes with my late
master; but for various and obvious rea-
sons l decided in the negative.
But another was not so reticent. AT
the mention of the red hair and the
strange eyes of the girl, l saw Josiah 5
face assume an expression of more live
ly interest, which gradually increased as
the narrator proceeded to describe Mr..
Stokes love of open air preaching. He
dared not hazard a remark until the
story was ended, as Mr.. Montgomery S
wrath was a thing not to be Disregard
ed. But the instant the last words were
spoken, Jusiah burst out:
III forfeit my life, Professor, ii
don't know where to lay my hands upon
him this moment"
What Bill Stokes and his daugh-
ter?"
'The very same. Is he a man with
stubby black hair, a large mouth, nose
twisted on one side. and crooked legsY
That's the man."
"rhen it is no other than Old Snuffies
that Silas has just bolted from. l rec
ognized him in minute-didn't you
Silas?'
was now compelled to confess that
l did; but much against my will, rs
foresaw that this discovery would bring
to light all that | so ardently desired tC
keep concealed.

terrogations beyond mere idle curiosity,
for he seemed to ponder over our an
swers and revolve them in his mind.
"Well, of course the sensation in the
town was something marvellous. For a
week we turned crowds away from the
doors nightly. Strange to say, the young
man who had caused the sensation came
every night, and persisted in desiring
to be again mesmerized, although he
still looked shaken and pale from the eff
fects of the first experiment This how
ever, | would not permit. Judith seemed
to have acquired some strange fasci-
nation over him; he followed her like
a shadow. But she would scarcely deign
to look upon him; she seemed always to
feel a great contempt for those who were
amenable to the mesmeric influence. To
our other friend, her behavior was very
different. He came pretty often to the
hotel, and | frequently found them in
private confab together. | could not un-
derstnnd what 4 handsome swell like
that could find to. admire in bony, red
haired Judith.
"Well. the last night came. | had left
the hotel about 5 o'clock in the after
noon to walk round the town with our
bill poster When the time came to
open the doors, the checkers came to me
to say that Mr.. Stokes, who was money
taker, had not arrived. | knocked at
Judith's dressing room door. She was
not there In an instant it darted upon
my mind that l was sold-that they
had boltedl
II went off to the hotel. My suspi-
cions were verified. They had left, bag
and baggage, Immediately after | had
gone out l went to the station, and
found they had booked for Peterborough
but there all traces ceased, and from
that time to this l have never heard Of
them. 1t will be warm for them if ever
l do, for they completely broke me up
after saving them from starvation,
too
Mr. Rodwell-that was the swcll's
name-and his friends disappeared at
the same time. Then l discovered that
they were strangers in the town-had
only come down for the shooting season.
The only person who could have Civ en-
me any information-the landlord of the
hotel where they put up-had received
his caution, and pretended to know
nothing.
But the strangest bit of the whole
story is yet to come. This very night
/ just as l was going down to the prompt
wing, during the third act of the play
l saw a swell talking to Miss Gibson
in the third entrance. His face struck
me in an instant as being familiar; but
the moment l heard his voice all doubts
vanished. It's some years since we met
and he was not more than two or three
and twenty at the time but l recognized
Mr.. Rodwell III a moment. We had
little private chat together, and he slip
ped couple of sovereigns into my hand
but l couldn't get anything out of him
about the Stokeses. He pretended tC
know nothing of their disappearance thai
night, and never to have seen them since
which l know to be lie. However,
feel a little curious to know who my
gentleman himself may be, so | SCI
young Jack Brindle, the call boy, t.
watch him, and l warrant he won't LOSE
sight of him."

Railroads Should Have Fair Play

Southern Baptist.
II may be true that the railroad
companies are able to take care of
themselves, but il is also a fact
that they have the same right III
the courts as private citizens, and
the juries of our country should
remember this when they are call
ed on to render verdicts in cases
where railroad companies arc con
cerned. II is a common express
ion that If that was against a rail-
road company he could recover
damages easily" This is true
only because of the prejudice that
exists in the people generally
against railroads.
In this state, in another county,
there was a man who boarded a
train to ride TO the tank, a few
hundred yards away, with his
wife, who had started on a trip.
He learned that the train was not
going to stop at the tank, so he
ran out and jumped off and broke
his ankle. The employees of the
road had nothing TO do with him
getting on or getting off, and
when help came TO him he said,
there is no one 10 blame but my
sell" But later on he sued the
road and recovered several thous-
and dollars for personal injuries.
Another case OH the same road
where a woman was travelling, the
train left the track and she sustain
ed a small bruise that was well in
a week, and left not the slightest
trace, yet she recovered several
hundred dollars for personal in
juries. Such verdicts are no less
wrong when rendered gainst a
than against an indivi-
dual.
Besides this, the jury is only
bleeding the people, for the COM
pany must make provisions for the
of such claims in its
charges for freight aud passage.
There are many just claims fer
damages, and the companies should
paw them, but MANY thousands OF I
dollars would be saved 10 the peo-
pie Il jurles were more y CAREFUL ms

The Panama Canal.

General Peter c. Hams. the distinguished
engineer, in a long article in the current
number of the North American Review,
gives his judgment in favor of i lock canal
at Panama. He examines the question in
all of its bearings. and decides against
sea-level canal because of it's impractical
bility. the delay in completion. and the
large increase in the cost. The ocean tides,
he insists. must be controlled. and this.
even in a sea-level canal, would require one
lock; and for time and cost he estimates
delay of ten years and an additional hum
dred million dollars. He declares that such
a delay would be a calamity" and that
"the canal should be opened to navigation
at the earliest time practicable
The failure of the French attempt at Pan
anna has inquired in all the discussion of the
canal project since took hold. 1t can
not be said. however. that the general pub
lie Is much advised on the subject beyond
the fact that the French made wretched
and expensive fiasco- of II all. and that
high PERSONAL regulations. well mil
lions of good money were swallowed up.
General Hains is familiar with the whole
story, and makes this very interesting ref
erence TO it:
I'm 1879, under the leadership of Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps, the company known as
the 'Compagaie UniYegseile du Canal Inter
oees nque was organized to build sea-
level cana! at Panama. That company ex-
pended about $50. 100000 in the course of
ten years and then went into bankruptcy
Under the laws of France. a liquidator was
appointed by the court to take charge OF
its affairs He appointed Il commission COM
posed of French and foreign engineers.
This commission was known the COM
mission d'etudes 1t visited the isthmus.
made new surveys and studies of the canal
and N 1Sn submitted a

"In 1894 the Nouvelie Panama Conpagnfe
was organized, with view to Investigating
the canal project In all its engineering and
commercial aspects. The new company
called to its aid technical commission
composed of fourteen engineers. drawn
from all parts OF the civilized world. Some
OF them were hydraulic engineers of great
ability and worldwide reputation. Some
had executed the largest canal projects
that had ever boen undertaken. This COM
