A MiracIe of Chanre

Steam and electricity have wrought no
more spectacular miracles than in the
handling of cargoe5 on the Great Lakes.
One of the first cargoes of iron ore
ever mined in the Lake Superior reg
ion was trundled aboard a little schoon-
er about fifty years ago. Four DAYS
were required to put 800 tons aboard
her. A week was required to get the
ore out of her Two seasons a-o the
great steel steamer Augustus B. VOL
vim loaded more than 10000 tons of ore
In eighty-nine minutes, or III less than
an hour and a half. And this huge
cargo was jerked out of her in a little
more than four hours.-RaIph ID. Paine,
in Outing Magazine.

The Man From Alabama.


Elliott found the atmosphere on
the big Peninsular & Oriental liner
different from anything he had ever
encountered before. The ship was
full of AnglOlndian people The
crew were mostly LascarS OF intOl-
cradle tilthiness, and there were in
Vulnerable Indian maids whom he
met continually about the ship on
mysterious errands of comfort to
their mistresseS.
Elliott found himself an intruder.
He was distinctly lonely; he was
almost hCmesick.
At Port Said half dozen passen-
gers came on board. Elliott took
them all to be English. apparently
of the tourist class, travelling
around the world on circular
tickets.
1t was very hot as the steamer
pushed at a snails pace through
the canal. It was scarcely better
when they reached the Red sea,
where, however, they were able to
move at better speed. They had
nearly completed this biblical
transit when mirage of white
capped mountains floating aerially
upside down appeared over the red
desert in the south, and all the pas
sengers crowded to the starboard
rail to loo kat it. Elliott had
moved to the bow, and was taring
idly at the strangely colored low
coast, red and ping and orange,
spitted with crags of basalt as
black as iron
at would remind a man of Ari-
IONA, wouldn't it?" voice drawled
languidly at his elbow.
Elliott wheeled, a little startled.
Leaning on the rail beside him was
a young man whom he remembered
as having come aboard at Port
Said He was attired in white fan
nels and wore a peaked cap, but
the voice was Enthusiastically Ameri-
can, and Elliott felt certain that it
had been developed south of the
Ohio river.

seen the same kind of thing in New
Mexico" he answered How did
you know that I had been in the
southwest"

CHAPTER VI.
(COntinued.)

Next morning Henninger had re-
gained his customary equipoise,
and gave an account of the accusa-
ton and of his defense very ~rief-
ly to his friends. The captain, act
ing as arbiter, had ordered that he
should refrain from playing cards
for stakes while on board, under
penalty of being posted as a sharp
er. On the other hand, the accuser
was warned not to make his story
public. as there was no cOrrobora-
tive evidence of its truth.
In spite of this caution, some
word of the affair spread through
the ship and the rest of the voyage
was not pleasant. Henninger found
himself an object of suspicion. His
three friends stood by him, incur
ring thereby share of the popular
animosity. Every one of the four
was glad when the hawsers were
looped ON the Southampton docks.
Twenty-four hours later Elliott
saw his friends aboard the big
steamer at Southampton, amid a
crowd ow army officers. correspon-
dents, weeping female relatives and
spectators who were bound for the
seat of the still smoldering war.
Elliott himself returned to London,
crossed to Paris, took the Orient
express and was hurried across
Europe and the length of Italy to
Brindisi, where he caught the mail
steamer touching there on her way
to Bombay.

with an easy laugh.
He was far from feeling easy,
however, and for a time he was
sharply suspicious of the Alabam-
an. Yet it was highly improbable
that any one else knew the secret
of the Clara McClay's cargo and
of her end; and it was practically
impossible that any one knew
more of the wreck than he did
himself. Certainly Sewer could
