dence-a college friend of Hayden,
that mischief began. and 1t began
without delay. for the college friend
recognizing Hayden in the village, in
troduced him to the rectory party, and
Hayden promptly fell in love, gen
timely this time, with Sybil Dove, the
rector's niece.
1t did not take Kate Moon long,
either, to see her doom.
Hayden, 1t is true, was a little trou-
bled at first, but that was merely an
noyance with himself for the careless
way i'm which he had talked love
"desecrated," he called it-but he did
not dream Of the manner in which
Kate would take it.
No one but Hayden and Kate her
self knew of that terrible night of re-
elimination when the moon shone
down on the final meeting in Dalling
wood.
BY the next night Hayden had left
the village; by the next Sunday Kate
Moon had left the world; she had
drowned herself in the river-the pref
ty river where the trout had fought

And Hayden began that terrible two
years with the sight of the girl CON
stantly before his eyes. in her lilac
gown. with the rose-pink bands about
her waist and hem, and with her last
words in his ears.
Tell her about me, and see what
she'll say of your love! Tell her, l say,
or I'll curse you TO your very marriage
dayl-aye. to your very deathbed: I'll
walk and sit and stand between you.
and YOU shall never bide in peace"
Then what had seemed but sum-

heartless tragedy, and grew and grew
into his life till he became to himself
a sort Of banned wanderer.
About two years later Hayden met
Sybil Dove in Rome, and for the first
time the wretched tragedy became less
important. and his heart leaped. lie

TRANSANDEAN RAIL WAY.


A concession for the construction of
the final link of the first Transandean
railway has been signed by the Chill
ean government, says A Travels In
Monde, and work will be begun imme-
diately. About forty miles Of road re-
main to be built through a difficult
mountain country. 1t is required to
be in operation In 1907.
The railway of which this forms the
last link is at present made up of sew
eral short systems, which will eventll-
ally merge sufficiently to allow
through trains to be run from Buenos
Ayres to Valparaiso. At present they
run from Buenos Ayres to Mendoza,
where connection is made about three
times a week with a train for the
eastern slope of the Cordillera de los
Andes.
This little road runs to the entrance
of Uspallata Pass, where 1t ends
abruptly on the slope of barren
mountain, at great altitude. Ahead
of the traveller as he stands at the end
of the route is the pass itself, sufti-
clently forbidding gap in the mighty
Cordilleras, outlined in rugged rocks
and immense perpetual snow-fields.
Close at hand, on the north OF the
pass, is the volcano Aconcagua, which
has an altitude of almost twenty-three
thousand feet--as If Greylock and
Mount Washington were piled on top
OF Pixies Peak.
Yet through this pass goes most OF
the passenger travel between Argen-
tina and Chile, journeying twenty
miles on muleback and twenty in stage
to Los Andes, village on the Chilean
side Of the mountains. From Los
Andes trains run to Valparaiso.
At present the whole rOute, which Is
about nine hundred and thirty miles.
requires sixty hours OF travelling. As
the trip by steamer through the Strait
OF Magellan taxes twelve days. and is
frequently heightened and made un-
comfortable by severe weather at the
entrance to the Strait, this shorter
trip is preferable even with the dis
comforts of the muleback trip. The
road through the pass will cost about
seven million dollars. and will be the
first railway from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in South America.

Carp and the Tench Are Valuable as

Fishing literature, prior to the days

up points of interest which are unique,
says the Brooklyn Eagle Not the least
interesting are the constant references
Of the early writers to the medical vir-

salt and fresh water fishes mentioned
by the old writer's are not recognized
by the writers of to-day, but the fresh
water perch, carp. tench and eel are
yet recognized, and it is in connection
with these fish that some of the quaint

has prevailed.
In the art of healing the carp plays
a respectable part. One old writer

Font Forget"

Many years ago, writes Thomas Bal
ley Aldrich in "Pongapog Papers," a
noleu Boston publisher used to keep
large memorandum book on table in
his private. office. The volume always
lay open, and was In no manner pri-
vate affair, being the receptacle of
nothing more important than hastily
scrawled reminders to attend to this
thing or the other.
1t CHANGED one day that a very
young, unhedged author, passing
through the city, looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor of
a famous magazine. The un1edged
had copy of verses secreted about
his person. The publisher was absent
and young Milton sat down and
waited.
Presently his eye fell upon the mem
orandum book, lying there spread out
like morning newspaper. and almost
in spite of himself he read. Don't for

An inspiration seized upon the youth.

He left his manuscript on the table
and disappeared. That afternoon.
when the publisher glanced over his
memoranda, he was not little aston
lshed at the last item; but his sense of

sense Of humor to do that-and sent

But he told Sybil all the story as
they drove toward their new life:
and she listened with flushed, averted
cheek.
But when he had finished. aud a
moments silence like a concrete bloch
OF despair had followed, she turned to
him and wept upon his shoulder And
How you must both have sufferedr
were her first sobbing words.
But because she was frightened by
the new suffering the telling Of the
tale had cost him. she did not say that
she had known the story all along. and
that the silence had been as an aveng
ing ghost between them.
One day. long after, when Hayden
and his wife strolled into the old
church. he noticed a curious thing.
Sybil had walked toward the chancel
while Hayden halted by the door. and
as she stood a moment in the aisle he
saw her white gown turn to lilac in the
sunlight. and band Of rose-color fell
across the hem.
For a moment the blood flushed into
his face. and all the miserable past
rose before him.
Then, as he looked. Sybil moved for
ward and her gown was white again
and again as she moved it was
splashed with color.
Then In swift enlightenment he
looked up at the famous Widowed
story of Joseph and he understood.

said to himself at last, and in unutter-
able relief he followed his wife and
