CHAPTER xxIII.-continued.

AS he finally passed beyond the en-
emy's pickets and felt safe, his
thoughts began to turn once more
towards Lyndhurst.
He wondered whether the old Garky
with his snail-moving mule could have
arrived and delivered the note Major
Worden had so kindly written con-
cerning his fate.
If so, how would she receive it?
Colonel John wanted to be masnan
imous. but he was deeply interested
here, and he never in his life wished
so much for anything as chance TO
witness what occurred when that note
was delivered.
1t would possibly settle some little
matters in his mind, which were be.
ginning TO worry him.
And thinking thus. he reached the
gate that opened into the spacious
grounds of Lyndhurst.
Then the house loomed up.
Lights could still be seen about the
house, though the hour was close on
to midnight
He wondered at this. for they re-

Somehow he seemed to associate it
with Mollie-why not, when she was
the prime cause of his adventure?
He advanced to the library: a voice
fell upon his ears, voice that was
peculiar, and which he knew belonged
to the odd genius of a darky who had
driven the mule by means of which
Worden conducted his prisoner of war
to the shell-wrecked house

A New War on Opium.

The Chinese government has fol-
lowed its recent edict against opium
by stringent regulations which seem
TO show a sincere purpose to do all
that can be done to suppress the use
of the drug in the empire. The regu-
lations provide that not only the cul-
tivation of the poppy but the use of
opium shall cease within ten years.
No new ground can be placed under
cultivation for opium production, and
the ground now under cultivation for
that purpose must be reduced one
tenth annually under penalty of CON
tiscation. Persons already addicted to
the use of the drug are required to
use an annually diminishing quantity,
and all persons are forbidden to begin
its use. Officials are especially en-
Joined to set an example of abst-
nence. The Importation of morphine
is prohibited, and measures are to be
taken to end the opium trade within
ten years. These governmental regu-
lations, remarks Youths Companion,
will be strengthened by growing
public sentiment against the use of
the drug. which finds frequent ex-
preston in the Chinese press.

Though strongly tempted to take

was Just as well, for Mollie had not
yet realized that she loved him, this
man whom a strange fate had made
her husband.
He squeezed the little hand, while
his eyes eloquently declared the burn

Germs.

Cupid was showing us through his

rows of great jars that contained the
germs that thrive in kisses.
"Show us the most harmless germ, -
we implored.
Cupid removed the cover from a
big green jar.
These are the most harmless. They
are found in the kisses of schoolgirls
and elderly maidens."
"And now the most dangerous

She was gone. and Colonel John, laft
alone in the library, paced up and
down for half an hour wrapped in
thought, and judging from the smile
upon his face, he must have had pleas
ant cogitations.
Then he went out to give more pos
tive orders to the men on guard, hav-
ing an idea that the venomous Major
Worden might make still another at.
tempt to unhorse him.
Morning came without further ad-
venture, and with it a sudden order
from headquarters calling for Colonel
Johns presence.
He was not even given chance to
see Mollie again, but looking back as
he ealloped down the avenue he saw
a f1uttering white kerchief held in a
hand that protruded from the shut
ters of her room, and raised his cap
in answer.
Reaching Sherman's quarters, he re-
ceived instructions to get his COM
mand in readiness for immediate ac-
ton.
Already a relief detachment had
gone forward to assume the guardian
ship of Lyndhurst. and John would
thus have all that was left of his COM
mand
Upon leaving Atlanta their course
was almost directly northwest,
through the rugged defiles of the great
chain of mour aims that guards the
border line between the three states,
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.
Few knew whittier they were 60
ing.
Sherman kept his secret well
Among the officers, however th4
facts were known.
In his march from Chattanooga to
Atlanta the Federal general had beer
of the way.
To accomplish this. indeed, to re-
main even at Atlanta for months it
was necessary that his line of COM
munication with Chattanooga remain
intact
OF course, once Atlanta fell, the Con
federates saw the chance to reduce
their victorious enemy, and for the
time their energies We're devoted to
the task of cutting of his line of COM
munications.
would be in serious condition indeed.
There promised to be some lively
times on the scenes of former desper-
ate battles.
Colonel John and his regiment had
been ordered to join the column about
to move back to the relief of the brave
general who had been left among the
mountains of Georgia to guard AL
toona Pass, point of immense value
to Sherman in keeping up communi-
cations with his base of supplies at
Chattanooga.
Messages had been received from
General Corse, messages that told of
overwhelming foes against which he
and his little command were holding
out with bravery born of despera-
ton.
So abrupt was their departure, ow
ing to the need of haste. that Colonel
John was not given chance to have
another interview with the girl whom
the fortune of war had made his wife.
He sent her a message, however,
just as they were leaving the city.
The march was one of haste.
Should Altoona Pass be taken by
the enemy, much of Sherman's hard
work must be done over again.
That meant desperate fighting,
climbing the granitefaced hills in the
midst Of deadly fire, of awful hand
to-hand fights-all this and more If
brave Corse had been compelled to
surrender before Sherman arrived to
succor him.
There were not many obstacles in
the way.

Could Re Confidential.

A day or two after George b. Cor
telyou assumed the duties of secretary
of the treasury &c was visited by an
elderly man who wanted an appoint
ment as confidential clerk to one of
the assistant secretaries. Notwith-
standing the fact that he was very
busy at the time, Mr.. Cortelyou gave
the elderly person a hearing. On &C
count of his age. Mr. Cortelyou said,
he felt that he could not comply with
the request. So, gently but firmly, he
intimated to- the old man that II was
about time for him to go. This. how
ever, did not dampen the latter's spirit
In the least. why, sir" said he, "as
feel myself peculiarly competent to fill
one of these confidential clerkships
hope that you will further consider my
application. Then wagGing his head
most impressively. he added: "Oh. Mr.

INCREASE OF TRAFFIC MAKES
ONE SEEM NECESSARY.
Commerce Of the Great Lakes Has
Grown So as to Require Increased
Facilities Between Lakes Su-
perIor and Huron.

Under the remarkable developments
OF the past two years, commercially
and industrially, during which time
the capacity of the 500 canal has
been taxed to its utmost, it has be-
come apparent that some provision
must be made to take care of the in
creasing demands of freightage
through the great lakes. When in
1S43 Senator Norveil, the first United
States senator from Michigan, intro
duced a bill into the senate requesting
a grant of land for the building of the
Sault ste. Marie canal, Henry Clay
said that "the money might as well
be wasted for project in the moon"
For time after the completion of the
canal in 1856, it looked as though the
Kentucky statesman had been right.
During the first year only 14,503 tons
OF freight, or little more than the
tonnage carried by single vessel at
the present time, passed through the
canal. The million ton mark was not
reached until 1875. In 1885, the 500
canal began it's race with Suez, and
In 1890, with freight passage of
100000 tons, 1t exceeded the Suez
tonnage by more than 100000. In
1900. 25,O62,5S0 tons of freight passed
through the canal; by the end of 1904
this had increased to 3L546, LOG tons.
Then came the tremendous growth
Of 1905-19O6. In the one season of
1905, there was an increase of 49,
253, 561 freight tons-an increase as
great as that Of the preceding eight
years. When to 1905 is added the
increase Of 1906, one arrives at the
astonishing fact that the lake freight
of the last two seasons shows an in
crease as great as that of the IA years
preceding!
Estimating from official figures
made at Sault Ste. Marie, it is quite
safe to say that 100,000,000 tons of
freight have been transported upon
the great lakes during the last year.
Unless set out in way that the eye
and the mind can seize upon, the mag
nitude of these figures can hardly be
appreciated. What does 100,000,000
tons of : freight mean? To handle II
required for eight months the serv.
ices of 1,500 lake captains, 5000
mates, $4,000 sailors, and 100000
landsmen. 1t was nine times as great
as the tonnage that passed through
the Suez canal; twice the combined
annual tonnage of London and Liver
pool, two of the worlds greatest sea
ports; and more than 100000 tons
| in excess of that which entered and
| left New York.

DREAMED OF ETHEL.
Reccuer Of Presieent's Daughter Does
Not Receive Parental Thanks.

II dreamed last night that had res
cued Miss Ethel Roosevelt from
very dangerous position. l cannot re-
member just what it was nor where 1t
was, but l do remember that there
was great danger of something awful
happening to her, and 1 came UP just
in time and got her out of trouble.
Then | remember that the same day a
message came from the White House
see me and thank me for what had
done for his daughter"
Thus a bright little six-year-old
youngster, the son of a well-known
citizen Of the northwest, related to
his father one morning recently his
experiences during a troubled sleep,
says the Washington Star. But,
papa" he said, there is something
more to the story" and then he con-
tinued: I'VE made arrangements to
go to the White House. You and
started out together. You said: Archie,
we have plenty of time before IL
o'clock, when the president is to see
us, and we will walk down Sixteenth
street, going through Lafayette park"
Well, we did that, and got to the
White House just in time. The presi-
dent came down to see us right away,
and then, what do you think, just as
he was about to thank me for saving
Miss Ethel's life, woke up and found
it was all dream. What a pity II
was we did not take car and get to
the presidents house quickly, for then
he would have had a chance to thank
me-"

Tugs Towing a Barge Through 500
Locks.

conceded in shipping circles that the
increase of 1907 will be even greater
This conclusion is reached because of
the food of orders for big ships that
has poured in upon shipbuilding COM
panies during the last few months.
Only recently an order was placed by
the Laokawanna Steel company, call
ing for eight vessels, to be in COM
mission by August 1, 1907. In point
of number, this order may not appear
impressive, especially to the railroad
man who hears OF car construction in
hundreds and even thousands, but in
reality the results will swell the fig
ures of next season. Five of the YES
sells are to be of $500 tons carrying
capacity each, and the ether three of
5000 tons each. In other words, this
feet will carry an aggregate of $4,000
tons of freight trip, a tonnage that
would require the use of more than
1000 ordinary cars, or more than SO
trains. And yet this order for eight
ships, perhaps the largest ever given,
is only one of scores of orders during
the year. And the question which is
facing lake vesselmen is: Will the
500 be able to give passage to all
these new vessels? and If not, the
inevitable must, follow. There must
be larger 500.
