Marie to persuade YOU TO come with her and to
stay as long YOU could. But she has disappointed
me; must plead for myself
The changing expression of Sophys eyes had
marked every sentence of his speech, and Marie
marked every expression Of the eyes. They had
grown forlorn and apprehensive when he spoke of
leaving Slavna; a sudden JOY leaped into them at
his invitation TO Praslok.

Sophy gave low laugh. Since the scenery is

Their eyes met again and he echoed back her
laugh.
Marie Zerkovtch drew in her breath sharply
With swift insight she and foresaw She feared
the results OF such a visit. But fate had weighed
the scales heavily against her
The Prince turned to Marie with puzzled look.
Sophy was lost in glad expectations. Marie met

No, at least I'm not responsible, Marie an

There was a note in her voice now which COM

looked sharply at her friend and perhaps She
understood. But She did not yield to the sug

\ simultaneous exclamation of many voices
broke across their talk. At the other end of the
room men and women pressed into a circle round
some point of interest which could not be seen by
Sophy and her companions. A loud voice rang out
in authoritative tones Stand back! Stand back,

GOOD AND BAD LOCOMOTIVES.
OF Same Type, One VIII Behave Well
and Another AbominabIy.


You never see a ship launched on a
Friday, and similarly a new locomo-
tive hardly ever makes q trial trip on
that day or on the thirteenth of the
month. Even though the superintend.
ent may jeer at this superstition. yet
he knows too well to set 1t at naught,
for Just as sailors consider that some
ships are unlucky, so do train hands
credit certain locomotives with sort
of demoniacal possession.
II Is certainly very strange the diff
ference that may be observed between
two locomotives built from the same
plans. at the same time, of similar
material. One goes on her way quiet
ly and smoothly, never breaks down,
costs little or nothing for repairs; the
other causes trouble from the very
first, runs off the line, kills the driv.
ers, gets into accidents Of all kinds
and generally acts as though pos
sessed by some evil spirit.
There was famous instance some
years ago on the South Florida rail.
way A locomotive killed so many
people that she gained the name Of
THE Hearse," and no fewer than
three engine drivers actually left the
employ Of the company rather than
continue driving her. The odd thing
was that she never seemed to injure
herself Eventually her owners were
forced to break her up, although she
