cleaning Of the vesta showed her the
form Of a mangled corpse lying on the
rocky ground scarce a yard away, crush
ed and battered almost out of human
semblance- Desire became conscious OF a
sentiment Of pity. Relighting her candle.
she fell on her knees beside the body. and
with trembling hands tried TO feel IL any
spark of life remained A moments ex-
animation assured her that death had
irrevocably claimed a victim. and the girl
slowly turned to the mans face In order
that she might ascertain whom the vic
tim was.
she saw. and saw too that her hands
and feet were stained and dabbled with
iier own fathers blood. All thoughts OF
anger and revenge faded quickly from
her SOUL and with a sharp revulsion of
feeling came horror and TemOTse. She
had intended to kill her father. and had
Providence allowed IL another few min
utes would have made her a parricide;

Desire had never tainted in her life. aud
she knew nothing OF hysteria. for the
island of Attala was visited only by
health-giving breezes. and she was strong
almost as a man; but the hOrrid happen
ings OF the past hour had overstrained
her nerves. and il was with the utmost
difficulty that she tore herself from the
gloomy cavern. Her fathers corpse was
a thing Of mystery whose ghOstly still
ness and horrible appearance attracted
her with a species Of compelling fascina-
tion.
She stumbled from the chamber, step
by step, her glances ever feeting back
against her will; and when at last she
reached the tunnel. and the cave was

unbroken silence
Cressingham appeared satisfied. He
pointed to the tunnel door and muttered:

the invasion Of Attala had commenced.

that the country is growing rapidly.
There is nothing new or startling in that
assertion, With immigrants pouring in at
the rate Of One-eightieth of the total pop
ulation each year, our population would
be doubled in eighty years, even If there
were no births whatever. Of course. the
country is growing, and II seems TO me
that It is up 10 the railroads to make
proper provision for that condition.
Concerning Panama Canal.
''Mr. Hin also expresses the opinion
that the Panama Canal is. or VIII be, OF
no practical use to us, Well, I suppose
he feels that way He has done all he
could TO prevent its construction OF
course, he owns a railroad from which,
no doubt, considerable business viii be
detracted when the canal is finished You
may draw your own conclusion.
Mr.. Hill says: The traffic OF the coun-
try is congested beyond imagination. The
commerce Of the country is paralyzed,
and, If continued, it means slow death.
Perhaps the want Of cars is due in part
TO the phenomenal growth OF the coun-
try; but perhaps Il some Of the railroad
companies would move their cars instead
Of permitting certain parties to convert
them into storehoUses. there would not
be such a dearth of transportation facili-
ties. Freight trains do not move to-day
as fast as they did ten years ago. The
railroads are not keeping step with the
times in this regard. Whether there be
method in their madness in this respect
I know not; but the fact remains.
However, we should remember that
Mr.. HiTs road is one OF those indicted by
the Department Of Justice the other day
for giving rebates, and suppose that oc-
currence was rather irritating TO him.
