RAILROAD NOTES

A car which is claimed by its
inventor. w. n. Mitchell, to be
the most wonderful thing of the
kind in the world, will leave
Kansas City for trip over the
Santa Fe to Los Angeles. The
car, which cost fifty-six thous
and dollars, three times the
price OF an ordinary private
car. contains a series of inStru-
ments by which an almost IN
conceivable number of facts
about the progress of the train
and the topography of the coun-
try over which it passes are re-
corded automatically, says the
Kansas City Journal.
Among the things noted as
the train moves along are its
speed, the power needed to pull
it over every mile of the way,
every rise and curve in the road
bed, the position of every sta
ton and other facts elating to
the road. At every mile a
a mark is made on the rOadbed
and these marks may be com
pared to the mileposts already
in use. Every time the brakes
are put on or the engine whis-
ties. the fact is noted automati-
cally.
Mr.. Mitchell entertained a
party of friends in his car,
which he calls the Scranton.
yesterday and explained its
workings. The record which is
made as the car moves along is
recorded on a sheet of paper a
ward wide. One half an inch
on the paper represents a mile
of travel, and after d long trip
has been made the record may
be studied for weeks before all
the data which it contains are
collected. The car, when a test
is being made, is placed next to
the engine.

There was binding flash, de-
tonation. Then, as the smoke clear
ed away Durham saw the four horses
writhing upon the ground, while a
dozen yards away little crowd of
attendants were gathered about a
PROSTATE figure.
Then the king rose to his feet and
a buzz of relief spread through the
crowd. The soldiers recovered their
senses and sprang into the stand.
Durham was quicker than they were.

he cautioned. "Some one will have to
do some tall hustling here. We have
no consul In this country and shall
have to work alone"
Enid nodded at him comprehend
ingly and turned to face the soldiers
that were bearing down upon her.
In moment she and her mother had
been placed under arrest, and were
being hurried through the crowded
stand into the administration build
ing at the rear. Durham quickly lost
himself in the crowd.
That the situation was desperate
he we'll knew. Short shrift was given
anarchists, and unless something
was done at once they might be ex-
ecuted Immediately.
Their explanations about the flow
ers was plausible, but would not be
accepted. If the explosion had only
come a moment sooner all would

amount of argument would convince
the police that the bomb was not
concealed in the roses.
Durham stood at the foot of the
stairs leading from the stand. One
Of the crowd attracted his attention.
This was a man of the usual tourist
type, palpably English. A police
man was standing near and Durham
stepped up to him.
"That man has stolen my watch"
he declared, slipping the officer a
coin. II want him arrested"
The mai. looked at the money and
started after the departing one. De-
spite his spluttering declaration that
the British minister would make them
suffer for the indignity imposed, the
policeman chung to his arm and drag

lice. Durham followed to make the
complaint.
When he entered the hall he de-
manded to see the minister of police.
The officials sought to explain that
theft was matter for the magis-
trates, but Durham persisted. With
shrug the officer took his card and
disappeared.
Ten minutes later he appeared

The minister was incredulous. Dur
ham stepped forward and took from
the officer the camera which had
been taken from the accused. Brief
ly he related his experience with Ky
astrOn and his magical Inventions,
and with skillful hands he took apart
the camera box and showed how the
bomb had been elected. RI
From the moment the camera was
seized the stranger begun to weaken.
Now as they all turned to him there
was an explosion that threw them OF
their feet. He had bitten into a per-
cussion cap that had been concealed
in his mouth for just such an emer-
gency. Il
II Think said Durham quietly,
that the prisoner has admitted his
guilt
The minister turned to one Of the
men who had focked in when the ex-
plosion occurred and said a few
words. Presently the man returned
with the Prestons. AS Enid saw Dur
ham she sprang forward.
| 1T is all right. he whispered,
'tthe offender has been found"
"Already!" she exclaimed. "By
whom?"
The minister came forward. by
this very devoted cavalier, who had
the wit to take advantage of what
others would have let pass he said.

Enid blushed.

Durham boldly.

Then something in Durham's glance
told her what she sought to know,
and with {: little cry she buried her
face upon his shoulder. The minis
ter smiled.
''Were Gu pid always the detec-
tive" he said softly, "crime would
seldom go UNPUBLISHED. It is great

Six months later Mr.. and Mrs.
Durham sat in a little room near
Seven Dials, relating to Kyastron
the story Of his camera. "And you

ed as he slipped his hand into Ends.

OF the Hurons' camp and 1t was on
this that Mrs. Huron had counted
when she had suggested visit across
the lake.
For couple of days Dan waited
for summons, then the rest of the
men came up for the deer season,
and there was a stir and hustle as
the guns were made ready for the
big game.
From across the lake came the
men of the Huron party and Dan
smiled to himself as he heard
the reports of how eagerly Marion
was looking forward to shooting her
first deer. The men were going
further in the woods for their hunt
ing, but Marion was to have a guide
all to herself and hunt near the
camp.
Marion was in futter of excite
ment. This was the first time she
had remained in camp through the
hunting season. 1t was only the year
before that she had been promoted
from the light shotgun that until
then had been her most formidable
weapon, and the promise that she
should shoot a dear and have the
antlers for her den at home filled her
with anticipation.
For several days Marion and old
Pierre, the guide, haunted the woods

of game.

II /YASTRON and Durham met
4 first in London, and the lat
ter took an interest in the

IL ter took an interest in the
little Greek.
Kyastron, who spoke French i'm
perfectly and English not at all, sat
every evening at the same table In
the cheap restaurant just back of the
Empire, and had taken a liking to
the young American who more than
once had aided him in making the
thickheaded waiter understand.
Later, when Kyastron found that
Durham understood magic the bond
was complete and thereafter Durham
made his way to the corner table
when he visited the place.
Even later he dropped into the
habit Of walking along with Kyas-
iron to the little house near Seven
D1als where he made his home, and
at last one night was invited to en-
ter.
The huge attic to which they
climbed was crowded with machin-
cry and models. In front of the win
dow work bench spread with wheels
and springs faced the best light, and
In front of the chair at which the
mechanic was wont to sit was a tiny
model.
Kyastron's face lighted up as he
approached the table. "This is the
new Vanishing Lady," he announced
See? One touch of this spring and
presto" He suited the action to
the word and in flash the tiny doll
on the platform disappeared. Kyas-
tron turned the model around and
looked up unexpectedly.
After that, when Durham visited
the restaurant they cut short the chat
over the coffee and went over to the
shop where they discoursed on the
mechanism of various tricks. Dur
ham was an amateur enthusiast,
while Kyastron worked at the trade
and found delight in creating i'm
provements upon existing methods.
Durham came in suddenly one af-
ternoon when Kyastron, bending
over his work, sprang up with shout
and hurriedly covered with a cloth
the object on which he had been
working.
Something in the action hurt Dur
ham. That the Greek should be
afraid to let him see the newest Gre
alton was not understandable and
with curt word of apology he turn
ed to leave. Kyarstron sprang after
him.
1T is not that" he pleaded. II
do not fear that you would tell. It
Is not mine that I have there. It is
for another and-it is not magic"
he concluded.
His regret was SO genuine that
Durham turned back and presently
the pride of the workman overcame
Kyastron's scruples.

cries which had been released ever
since his first glance into the win

The picture of the disda1nful girl
who had sent him away into the
west, to forget and recover his lost
hopes, appeared before him as vivid
ly as If she herself had sat bound
and fettered in the show window, in
stead of the pawn ticket bearing her
name.
Often he had entertained the hope
that some day she might need a
share of the riches he had made by
his devotion to the great business
house he represented.
It had been hope not unmixed
with bitterness; but now that she
seemed to be in distress, his heart
opened with a wonder of compassion:
and the longing to be of service to
her would admit of no vindictive
thoughts.

Marion placed Dams head on, her

past weeks came back to her. After
