Transportation Then and Now.

Kipling has drawn a picture vibrat-
ing with movement and color, fairly
pulsating with the essence of human
life. when he describes in kim" the
great trunk road of India. Thousands
of bare or sandaled feet polished the
stones of the footways that converged
at city gates; the endless grinding OF
the rough-shod wheels wore deep and
everlasting ruts in the stone pave
ments. Yet not so many people, in
month of thirty days, entered or left
any of the old walled capitals OF
Greece, or Rome, or India (that, like
our modern populous centers, depended
for their very life on the outside coun-
try as now, between sunrise and sun
set, hurl themselves back and forth, in
and out of New York alone.
Transportation is the problem; the
ways along which people can move ana
the means to move them, are the great
questions of the hour, and all roads
lead to Town.
We have tunneled beneath the
SIOuIlu anu Ch0 1lNSl We nave IpIOWh
great flying arches over our interven-
ing waterways; we have networked
the surrounding country with lines OF
humming trolleys, and the ferry-boats
swing with the regularity of pendu-
lums, from pier to pier. Incoming or
going armies of men spend large frac-
tons of their lives upon the road.
They have travelled many times the
distance to the moon and back. The
faithful servants, electricity ano
steam, fetch them in and out The
same unvarying number of footsteps
have brought them to their homes ano
offices. The same unvarying revolu-
tions of whirling wheels have carried
them from the journeys beginning to
it's end. Far above the level of the
roofs of the dwelling houses, we have
built great cities, peopled by tran
sients The metropolis is like the
feeding ground of great migratory
f1ocks who come in the morning to
pick up their living, to fill theil

CHAPTER vi.

AS a rule it is only necessary to
arrange a picnic to insure wet day;
but the day of Mr.. Bradstones pic
mic proved an exception, and The
morning was as clear and bright, and
almost as warm, as a spring day in
the sunny south.
Mr.. Bradstone had bestowed a
great deal Of thought on this little
outing which he had planned for
Olivia's amusement-and his own ad-
vantage, of course-and when, but
only the day before, she consented, in
response to the squires pressure, to
join the party, Mr.. Bradstone re-
doubled his exertions.
Lord Garfield had been asked; but
while accepting for BERTHE, he had
declined for himself. My picnic
days are over, Mr.. Bradstone,' he
said; I have arrived at the period
when cold pie and salad, when eaten
in the posture absolutely unavoidable
on these occasions, settle somewhere
in the small of my back. But my
son BERTHE will be delighted, I am
sure"
And he had spoken the truth.
BERTHE would have eaten cold pie or
poison, if, by so doing, he could in
sure a few hours of Olivia's society.
The only other persons besides the
van1eys who had been asked were
Mary and Annie Penstone, the tive
daughters of Sir William Penstone,
whose estates lay about five miles
from Hardwood Grange.
They were going to ride over to
Glenmaire, the spot Mr.. Bradstone
had fixed upon for the luncheon, and
Mr. Bradstone had arranged to drive
The squire and Olivia to the rem
devious of a brand-new mail phaeton,
of which he was, not altogether with
out reason, exceedingly proud.
Imagine his disappointment, then,
when, having dashed up to the
Grange door, he saw Olivia standing
on the steps in her riding-habit, and
BERTHE just below her with his arm
hooked in the brides of his own and
her horses
II thought you were going to
drive with me and your father, Miss
Olivia?" he said, as she gave him her
hand; and he muttered some almost
inaudible response to Bertie's CHEEKY
"Good-morning.
Did I promise?" said Olivia. Il
don't think it was distinct promise.
I had to ride into Wainford this
morning for some medicine for Bes-
sic, and I kept my habit on"
Il am afraid I am the culprit. real

them both and slipping from her
horse.

come" said Mary, and we are so
glad to see you, you can't tell. And
isn't this delightful? So kind of
Mr.. Bradstone! And you rode over
with dear BERTHE. No wonder he
looks so bright and happy" and she
shot half-playful, half-jealous
glance from her boyish eyes at the
Cherub, who, having got rid of one of
the giants in plush, was mixing
salad
He will look ever so much bright
er and happier when he has had some
lunch,'' said Olivia.
For heavens sake persuade him to
send some of those fellows away,
the squire, as they seated them
selves; sit isn't a bit like a picnic
with them lowering like huge birds
Of-paradise over u.s."
The squire shrugged his shoulders.
Let him. alone-he means we'll"
he said, good-naturedly.
BARLEY Bradstone came up to them
at this moment. He was looking
flushed and excited and-fussy.
Have you got all you want? Miss
Olivia, let them give you some of this
pate, Squire, think you will find
this champagne correct-Pommery
'73."
The butler swooped solemnly down
with the bottle, just as he would
have done in the dining-room at The
Naples.
1t was fearfully and dreadfully I'M
like a picnic; but the high spirits of
the two Penstone girls rose even
above the overwhelming presence of
the footmen and butler, and they
were soon laughing and romping and
Olivia was smiling at them in sym
pathy, when, suddenly, in the very
middle of the informally formal re-
past, and just as Mr.. BARLEY Brad
stone was mentally congratulating
himself upon its complete success, a
man and woman, with a couple of
children clinging to them, came
through the opening of the trees.
The woman stopped short, and with
the gypsy whine said, as she hungrily
eyed the costly spread:
will the pretty ladies cross the
poor gipsy's hand with silver, and
let her tell them their fortunes?"
Mr.. Bradstone looked up, almost
choking with rage. That gipsies
should dare at any time to trespass
upon his property was bad enough TO
BEAR but they should inf1ict their
odious presence upon his special pic
nic-party was simply uncomfortable.
What do you mean?" he demanded
angrily. Here Go away! Go
away at once!"
The woman shrank back a little;
but the man, at the sound of his
voice, gave little start and came
step nearer.
I'VE means no harm, gentleman"
he said, whiningly, his dark eyes
fixed upon BARLEY Bradstone's angry
face. ''Let the wise woman tell the
pretty ladies' fortunes"
BARLEY Bradstone was about 10

The attempts TO distinguish be-.
