interest she had aroused in the athletic looking
cean-shaven of thirty thereab bouts across the
aisle Gilbert's thoughts speedily diverted to
matters to which he might address himself with
greater propriety A broken-down freight ahead
involved delay of the train two hours; the conse-
quent disarrangement of the schedule meant
long halt farther to allow the east-bound express
pass and, cap the climax trying to make up
of the lost time, the engineer developed hot
box on the locomotive Thus in the first two hundred
nailes out of Omaha the SPECTATORS margin, which
had been reduced to six hours account of delay
in Chicago, was cut down to two and quarter.
Long before the difficulty with the overheated
journal encountered the porter had made up
the berths for the night and Gilbert's divinity had
retired. Midnight found him in the srnoking-room
all hope of sleep abandoned, vainy endeavoring to
solace his shaken nerves with strong cigar, and
figuring timetable in hand, the hour at which
he ought to pass through intervening points if the
schedule should thenceforth be maintained. Again
and again he cursed his folly for having trusted

the storm that had now passed away. He found
that young again in the possession of her

of the lightning, and her broken wall of reserve
somewhat repaired. The passengers crowded round

tacle, his face pressed close to the window,
that he was Obvious to the presence in
the doorway of a timid, shrinking little
figure that pitifully besought his atten-
ton. But in the almost imperceptible
interval between an unusually vivid flash
and its accompanying crash a shrek of
feminine terror fell upon his ears, and he
turned, to confront the girl whose frail-
ness, so strongly in contrast with his own
robust physique, had moved him to pity
the night before.
"Oh!" she gasped, Il don't know what

And how suppliant she looked! His
opinion of himself began to enlarge a
little as he fancied himself in the role of
her comforter and protector. Her blue
eyes sought his in mute appeal, and in
his enjoyment of the delicious sensation
they produced he forgot that she awaited
his reply. But in moment he recollected
himself.

A Rutland despatch to the Bur,
hngton Free Press revives the old
story of Woodstock and Rutland
railroad. 1t reads:
The possibilities of direct connec-
ton with Montpelier without having
to take roundabout route to Bel
lows Falls or Essex Junction now
seems much brighter The project
is for a direct electrical line from
here through the mountains to Wood
stock and Bethel, connecting at the
latter place with the Central Yer
mont to Montpelier.
Local capitalists to some extent are
interested in the project, which,
though admitted Of unusually heavy
expense, is believed to be practical
BILE and of sufficient importance to
pay Ialr interest upon the invest
ment,
Application for a charter will be
male this spring.
While the amount of traffic be-
tween Rutland and Bethel or Wood
stock is not large, it is presumed
that this condition has been compul-
sorry as the result of the necessity of
using the stage route, which is slow
and laborious, and during the winter
more or less of a hardship to tray
elers. The proposition is to intro
duce freight service along the
route of the electric road for the bene-
fit of farmers, who would thus be en-
abled to send their produce to mar
ket cheaper.
