The most poignant moment of Phil
lips trial came when he saw Ellen
led away. 1t was maddening to think
of what might be in store for her.
But he preserved his calm and digni-
fed mien, sat down by the lamp, took
some letters from his pocket and be-
gan to read. His captOrs looked in at
him curiously. AS Phillip read not a
muscle of his face quivered, though
his heart stood still within him for
these were the words: when you
hear the whip-poor-will, come to the
window. The second call blow out
the light. The coast will then be
clear-yOu must escape, dear. Run
to the little gulch-for my sake!"
1t had come to him by Ellen's hand
and the reading of it threw him into
the most horrible doubts and fears.
She was going to attempt some es-
cape. It would be worse than folly;
it would be madden than madness.
He must cry out and save her from
such sacrifice. But some unreason-
able hope sealed his lips and the
weary hours dragged toward two in
the morning. A hush had come over
the valley, but the sentinels without
every now and then gave grim tokens
of sleepless vigilance.
Suddenly there came the whip-poor-
Wills Gala whistle he himself had
taught to Ellen. He was at the win
dow in quarter Of second. There
was no moon, but continuous play
of lightning relieved the darkness. In
the weird light he saw a figure in
white, in midair, coming slowly to-
ward the cabin. An exclamation fell
on his uncomprehendiDg brain and ne
knew that one of the men saw it also.
Then came a brighter flash and he
saw one of the guard fall prone to
the earth and three rush headlong
toward the valley. The other two of
the six gave short, inarticulate cries.
Then God was good. For, as the re-
mainder of the guard ran around the
house, a vivid fash revealed the
white figure swaying fifteen feet in
the air with it's light beard, its bag
gard face, its shaggy hair! Mortar
tvs ghost. The men made a stimuli
taneous rush for the shelter of the
cabin.
At that moment the light was ex-
tinguished and the storm burst over
the ''Forget-me-not."
Every newspaper in the country
told the story of how these lovers fed
away into the storm and all the West
rang with admiration of Ellens dar-
ing exploit.
Her plan was at once the simplest
and most natural. She attacked the
great weakness of the enemy-super-
stition-and as Moriarty's ghost she
conquered The rope on which she
walked was one of wire stretched
from the trestle of an ore track to a
tree near Moriartys house. In the
West trestles are often partly
strengthened in this way. How she
ever planned the escape, how she man
aged to pass the guard unobserved,
how she kept her footing on the rope,
and how she dropped unhurt to the
ground she could never tell and the
only explanation is that all things are
possible to a woman who loves. Faith
may remove mountains. Hope may
build castles, but love-love, ah, that
accomplishes all things.
The Little Ellen Gold Mines" are
the richest in Idaho, but all the
wealth that lies waiting there is not
half SO precious to Phillip, who will
one day own so much of it, as Is the
love of his wife.

Weighing a Letter.

To use the style of scale that is de-
signed to weigh barrels of merchandise
tor ascertaining the weight of a letter is
like setting tiger to catch fly. Still a
correspondent of "TEe American Ma
chinist" has done it successfully, and he
shares the secret with the public. The
plan described works equally well in
measuring corresponding amounts of
merchandlse-an ounce of nutmeg for
instance.
Some of the best known platform scales
are made so that the addition of a
pound to the tip of the beam counter.
balances one hundred pounds on the
platform. Any one who is aware of this
fact can apply the principle without
much trouble, but he must reverse the
order of procedure. He first puts the
letter or parcel the weight of which he
wishes to find out on the pendant at the
end OF the beam. Then he places on the
platform enough Of any kind of material
that is handy to raise the beam. Having
thus weighed the letter he divides the re.
suit by 100. Says the correspondent:
Suppose the weight of the material
which just balances the letter to be 53I
pounds. Then SIS divided by 100 EQUALS
.O575 pound. Reducing this to ounces
0575 times 16 equals 90 ounce, which is
the weight OF the letter. On the other
hand, ii we wish to weigh out exactly
one ounce of something, we have only ia
remember that it will require one hun.
bred ounces on the platform, or 6I
pounds, to balance one ounce.
IT the ratio of the weightsis not known
1t may be found by weighing one of the
weights, II the weight which is marked
100 pounds weighs pound the ratio is
OF course, to 100, or if the 100 pounc
weight actually weighs p pound the
ratio is to 200.
Where made to the metric system tn,
calculations can, of course, be mad,
mentally from one denomination to an
other. For instance, ii u kilos are re
CURED on the platform to balance tn,
weight on the counterpoise, then the lat
ter is OPT gram or, q decigram: or
Z centigrams; or,27 milligrams.-[ New

Railroad Rate Control.

President Tuttle OF the Boston &,
Maine has locked horns with President
Roosevelt on the government control OF
railroad rates. He says the suggestion
is practically a socialistc move which, ii
carried out, would affect the income OF
the million or more railroad employees.
Inter state Commerce Commissioner
Proutv has added to the interest in the
question by his sarcastic remark that
the reason the railroads have not tried
to buy up the commissions because they
did not think the commission was worth
buying. Mr.. Prouty has long advocated
government ownership Of the railroads
as the only remedy for secret rebates,
private car monopoles and traffic
arrangements between competing sys-
TENS. Soon alter the Presidents mes
sage Mr.. Prouty said:
Their will be either government
ownership or government regulation OF
the railroads. Which it will be depends
mainly on the managers OF the railroads.
If they do not want government owner
ship they will cease their opposition to
the Presidents plan for preventing the
enforcement OF rates which are unreason-
able"
Mr.. ProutY further said that individ.
ually great many railroad men are
convinced there should be government
supervision of rates, but that officially
and collectively these men will never
agree to such supervision until Wall
street gives the order.
In the meantime the American people
are doing good deal of thinking and
hearing both sides of a great public
question. The wrongs that must be
righted do not exist upon the Boston &
Maine, and in his recent address Mr..
futile admits that there is way to
right such gross monopoly as the pri-
vate car abuses. But Mr.. Tuttle's sug.
gestion that the Presidents policy, or
even government ownership, would les
sen wages is certainly open to debate.
