Saratoga, Sept. 25.-As the delegates hocked
to Convention Hall this noon. the New
York County men marshaIIed by Herbert Par
sons and Lieutenant Governor Bruce a stockly
built man was seen walking some distance
ahead of them. He turned his head neither to
right nor left, and no one stopped TO speak to
him An old peanut vender to whom the man
nodded said TO a customer: There goes ex-
Governor OdelI." With Mr. Odeu was Reuben
L. Fox. secretary Of the state committee, who
went down to defeat with his chief Every now
and then Mr.. Fox would glance back at Mr.
Parsons and his procession, which had almost
caught up with him. But Mr.. OdelI, his hands
folded under his coattails, stalked straight
ahead
Just across from the convention hall Mr..
Odell turned and stood STILL while the delegation
passed by into the auditorium. Neither Mr.
Parsons nor the Lieutenant Governor made
sign that he saw Ex-Governor Odell.
Most of the delegates slept late this morning

them went to bed. for they were anxiousIy
waiting for sentiment to crystalline which did

class agricultural land that Is now
semiarid, excepting for one-third of this
area that Is already susceptible of irrl-
cation from an old project, known as
the Ankeny canal, now owned by the
government. A large part of the re-
malnder Is covered with sage-brush and
still held in private ownership, al

ed by the irrigation law. Each private
owner Is allowed to retain 100 acres.
He must sell the rest Of his holding or
ultimately submit to having the Water
Users Association sell 1t at public sale.
Ultimately there will be hundreds
Of miles of canals and bitches.

ath river, providing perpetually water
transportation for the farmers While
the lakes will be lowered nearly Is feet

or channel will be dredged and deepen

From the Review Office to our hotel

regardless of the indignation of jostled
wayfarers. Ny cousin plunged into the

looked over his shoulder with an equal
excitement. The next express from Pad
dington was at midnight, and it was
timed to arrive at the nearest station
to Polleven that the map showed us by
twelve-thirty the following morning. But
that village itself was distant by road
good fifteen miles from the station.
With Cornish hills we should be lucky
| if we arrived there by three in the after
noon. The postal guide informed us that
our letter of warning would be deliv-
cred about twelve o'clock next day. A
telegram-for there was no wire to Pole
ven - would scarcely arrive earlier.
There was nothing more to be done.
1t was, indeed, shortly before three
o'clock that our carriage groaned and
screeched it's way down the steep descent
into Polleven village. At the inn we
soon discovered the direction of DR..
Weston's cottage and, taking the advice
of the landlord as to the roughness of the
track thither, we left our carriage and
started off on foot. After stiff climb
of three-quarters of a mile between rug
ged cart ruts running with water from
the winter springs, we emerged into a
little glen, sparsely wooded. At the
further end, built ON the higher ground,
we caught a momentary glimpse of a
building which we took to be the place
we sought. From our right low, boom
ing reverberations told of distant break
ers on rock-bound coast.
1t was l who first saw her, glimpse
of white amongst the bare skeletons of
the stunted trees. Then at the turn of
the path we met her. Her face was pale
as fine linen, her eyes fixed and CLASSY,
her arms with her clenched hands rigid
by her sides. She might have been the
ghost of some great lady who had died
by cruel wrong. So blindly did she walk
that l believe she would have passed
us if Graden had not sprung forward
and barred her way.
She woke as sleep-walker wakes,
with a shuddering surprise. "Who are
your she asked family. If she had
not grasped the branch of a tree, think
she would have fallen.

Pre-Adamite Bone Gave.

Among the wonders of the world, the
bone caves Of the pre-Adamite period
deserve prominent place. 1t Is to
this period that the extensive remains
Of Mammlfer@ found in the strata Of
the Pampas of Buenos Ayres, and in
the caverns which are scattered in such
vast numbers over the continents Of
Europe and America, and even in Aus
tralla, are to be ascribed. OF these
caverns, most extensive one, and
among the first which attracted atten-
tion, Is situated at Baylenreuth, in
Franconia, and the engraving which we
here given represents a section of 1t.
The entrance of this cave, about
seven feet In height, Is placed on the
face Of perpendicular rock, and leads

this mode of placing 1t had the advan-
tage of rendering the motion more easy
to the driver. To contribute further
to this end, the bottom or floor con-
sisted of network of interlaced
thongs, the elasticity Of which in some
measure answered the purpose Of mod
ern springs.
The Egyptian chariots were invaria-
bly, drawn by two horses abreast, which
were richly caparisoned. The
chariot Of Egypt ordinarily carried two
persons, one Of whom acted as the war
rior, the other as the charioteer. Oc-
caslonally we find three persons In a
chariot, as when two princes of the
blood, each bearing the royal scepter,
or iabellum, accompanying the king in
a state procession, requiring char
loteer to manage the relns.
