"and, thanks to his criticism, the tale
was greatly improved. Originally Il

For instance, the tale CONCLUDED
with these words:
Mabel's lovely eyes dropped for an.

and she gave him both her hands; and
there in the old orchard, in the shade
of the heaVy-fruited trees, he drew her
to his breast, and, raising her long
ringlets to his lips kissed them rever

but the goats were hard to get a shot

eagerness for the expedition. We reach

the banks of stream that flowed down
toward the Yampah river.

WHEN POLLY PLAYED.

When Polly played for dancing,
Her slender fingers few
Across the flashing ivory keys
As If they winked at you.
The music dubbed under
The magic of her hand
As II the very notes were mad
To join the festive band
When Polly struck the measure
OF twO-Step or Of waltz,
The Oldest there grew young again
And laughed at times assaults;
While lovely Sweet and Twenty,
And happy Sweet Sixteen,
Went floating light as thistledown
The merry slaves between.
When Polly played the lancers
You should have seen us bow,
And weave the figures out and int
Would we were dancing now,
With Polly playing bravely,
And all the old set there,
Till who'd believe twas midnight by
The clock upon the stair.
Then Polly played as gayly
As the youngest heart can feel,
And lad and lass we danced amain
The blithe Virginia reel.
If Cupid sped his arrows,
Be sure his aim was true,
When Polly played for dancing, and
The hours fairly few,

Eighty Years of railroads.

We have yet two decades to wait be-
fore we can celebrate the centennial
anniversary of the birth of the rail-
road. 1t is a wonderful record, that
eighty years of rapid transit devel-
Opment 1t has revolutionized the
world, commercially, socially and intel
lectually. The Atlantic and the Pacific
have become near neighbors, the mac
cessible and therefore valueless plains
of the West have been penetrated and
brought into touch with the markets of
the world. New York and Chicago,
that in the pioneer days were weeks
away from one another, are now but
eighteen hours apart.
The railroad has entered Jerusalem
it has pierced darkest Africa; it is
crossing the sands of the Sahara; 1t
scales the side of vesuvius, it bridges
the most forbidding chasms and tun-
nels through mountains and under riv-
ers. The whistle of the locomotive is
the voice of progress! The rails over
which it runs are the steel bands that
bind nations into a great commercial
brotherhood
The rapid development of the world
along every desirable line since the To-
connective became factor In human
affairs is all the argument necessary
to prove the railroad the greatest of
all civilizing influences. A comparison
Of the past eighty years with the thou
sands of centuries preceding furnishes
an eloquent proof of the far reaching.
uplifting industrial, ethical and educa-
tional value Of the railroad.-Four

manner. But at that moment Cyyas came
out BE had just got back from Oxford
and 1t was his arrival which had brought
about the discovery that something was
amiss with the dean.
Il am going for a doctor, mamma, I"
said Cyras, and leaped away. Lady Grace
went in, and Moore followed her.
Leaning back in q low easy chair,al-
most at full length, his head resting on
the back of 1t, lay the dean. His face
was white, his mouth was open, but his
eyes were closed, as If in calm sleep.
Nevertheless there was that in his face
which struck terror to the heart of his
wife. She touched the faithful old SER
want on the arm and cried aloud.
Yes, my lady," he whispered, believ-
ing that she saw as we'll as he, II fear it
is DEATH"
Lady Grace knelt down, and clasped
her hands round her husband. In that
moment of distress, what cared she who
was present? She called him by endear-
ing names. she kissed his face, she be-
sought him to speak to her. But there
was no answering response, and convic-
ton told her that there never would be
again.
Never in this world. Cyras came back
with a doctor; curiously enough, 1t was
Sir William Chant. A small mercy this,
for Sir William was able to testify to the
cause Of death, thereby avoiding an in
quest.
The dean had died from disease of the
heart, brought on by. the evenings excite
ment. And the world, next day, was
busy with the news that the Very Rev.
Ryle Baumgarten had been gathered to
his fathers, and that the rich deanery Of
Denham, richer in those days than in
these, was in the clerical market.

AT NEW HAVEN THEATER.
Phantom Detective Delights Large ar

Phantom Detective Delights Large and
 Appreciative Audience.
 The Phantom Detective delighted a large and exceedingly appreciative audience at the New Haven theater last night. The drama is & thriller without a doubt. It is combination of melodrama, comedy and tragedy, all of which chase one another in rapid succession, keeping the audience on the tiptoe of expectancy throughout the en- tire performance. It is full of thrilling incidents, and clever skill has been used in working the play together, The scenery is massive and is full of mys- terious appointments and mechanical effects.
 The. story tells of the struggle for a precious tiara, of very costly value, and at one, time in the possession of "a ruler ! in Q far-off cline. Onits being brought to this country the rulers scileming son wishes to regain 1t, and murders it's possessor, the daughter of the murder ed man being accused of the crime.

abduction just in time to see her about to be cast into a den of live lions be- cause she resents the advances of the villain. Her entrance into the lions den is one of the great sensations of the evening.
 There is mystery and music judi ciously blended in this production, ond some of the illusionary effects are startling to a degree. A chorus of pretty girls, handsomely costumed, rem dered the musical numbers, which were very catchy, in a superb manner. The specialties, of which there are many,
 are well done, The American News boys quartette, the Hall sisters and the dancing phenomenons, Tommy Smith and May Wiley, met with equal favor and were encored galore.
 The company is an excellent one and every member is well fitted for the part allotted to him. Every scene and every act was liberally applauded last night, and the play is one well worthy of the patronage of all who enjoy melodrama.
 The palace of the raiah and the home of General Warburton, where the
 masked ball takes place, are marvels of the scenic artists ingenuity. The performance will be repeated this even 1 ing and tomorrow afternoon and even- 1 ing. Regular popular prices.
