All mail clerks on the various
railroads have received the following
notice in regard TO the handling Of
mail. In the notice II is impressed
upon the minds of the clerks that
they will in the future be responsi-
BILE for persons injured by mail,
which is thrown from moving trains.
The clerks are we'll up in arms over
the matter but are entirely helpless.
They state that the government has
been slow in affording efficient
means of throwing the mail from
the trains and that there are plenty
OF such devices on the market. The
following is the notice received
The number of cases reported
lately wherein persons have been in
jured while standing on depot plat
forms by mail thrown from moving
trains renders 1t necessary to take
some decisive action in conform
ity with the instructions in regard
| to delivering mails at catch stations.
thereafter every case wherein per-
sons are injured by mail thrown
from trains will be rigidly investl-
gated and the clerk who delivered
the pouch held strictly responsible.
"There should be a place desig-
mated at each station to the delivery
OF the mails and the clerk charged
with the responsibility of attending
the door should see to 1t that the
man is delivered at that point and
nowhere else. The usual excuse that
the clerk did the best he could will
not be accepted in cases where in
structions are not complied with and
persons thereby injured.
'iSeveral railroad companies have
expressed the intention of taking le-
gal methods to have the clerk re-
sponsible for the damage Joined
with the company in all suits
brought against the company by
persons injured by careless delivery
OF mail"

Mr.. Sol Ketchmaid, landlord of the
Ship, sat in his snug bar, rising oc-
casionally from his seat by the taps
to minister to the wants of the Gus
toners who shared this pleasant re-
treat with him.
Forty years at sea before the mast
had made Mr.. Ketchmaid an authority
on affairs maritime; five years in
command of the Ship inn, with the
nearest other licensed house five miles
off, had made him an autocrat.
Twice recently had he found oc-
casion to warn Mr.. Ned Clark, the viii
1ase shoemaker, the strength of whose
head had been boast in the village
for many years. On the third occasion
the indignant shoemaker was inter-
rupted in the middle of an impas-
stoned harangue on free speech and
bundled into the road by the ostler.
After this nobody was safe.
Tonight Mr.. Ketchmaid, meeting
bis eye as he entered the bar, nodded
curtly. The shoemaker had stayed
away three days as a protest, and the
landlord was naturally indignant at
such contumacy.
Good evening. Mr.. Ketchmaid,"
said the shoemaker, screwing up his
little black eyes; Just give me a
small bottle O. lemonade, IL you
please"
go and get your lemonade some
where else," said the bursting MIR.

81 prefer to ave it here" rejoined
the shoemaker, "and you've got to
serve me, Ketchmaid. A licensed pub
lican is compelled to serve people
whether he likes to or not, else he
loses of is license"
Not when they're the worse for
licNer he amt" said the landlord.
Here's the 'ealth of Henry Wiggett
what lost is leg to save Mr.. Ketch-
maids life" he said, unctuously.
ALSO the 'ealth of Sam Jones, who
let hisself be speared through the
chest for the same noble purpose.
Likewise the health of Capt. Peters,
who nursed Mr.. Ketchmaid like is
own son when he got knocked up do
ing tho work of five men as was
drowned; likewise the health o Dick
Lee, who helped Mr.. Ketchmaid cap
ture Chinese junk full OF pirates and
killed the whole II of 'em by 'Ow

maid?"

the taps, affected not to hear.

CHAPTER XIX.
A L'outrance.

Strathgate was followed by small
man, rather extravasantly dressed
who carried couple of naked swords
under his arm. The small man yawned
prodigiously and appeared to be great
ly bored by the situation in which he
found himself, or by the early hour
at which he had been compelled to
arise. Back of the two came another
man of palmer aspect, with a keen
shrewd, business-like face. He was
dressed in a naval uniform of blue
and white and carried a strange look
ing, leather covered box, of which
neither Ellen nor Deborah knew what
to make at first.
The man in uniform selected a con.
venient spot about the center of the
sward, we'll in the shade of the trees
deposited his box, opened it, knelt
down and busted himself over it's con
tents, which so far as the women
could make out consisted of bottles
bandages and shining instruments OF
some sort. Lady Cecily would have
known instantly what was about to
occur, but it was some time before
either Deborah or Ellen OWNED that
they were to be the spectators to a
duel.
Il wonder where they are?" the
little man carrying the swords yawned
out, looking vaguely about the clear
ing.
Strathgate pulled out his watch.
"'Tis not yet the appointed hour
he answered.
What the devil made you get up SO
early, them" asked the small man,
grumpily.
Il always like to be beforehand in
affairs of this kind, Blythedale," re.

WORLDS NEED o. STRONG MEN.
Should Be Better Than the Genera.
tions of the Past.

Some of us are disposed to be salts
fed if we can be pretty nearly as
good as the men of the last genera
ton. That will not do at all. The
men of this generation have got to
be a great deal better men-bigger,
broader, sounder, keener, braver,
mcmillan their fathers were. II
they are not they will be swamped
with the business of the world in
their hands. The entire ethical
standard of financial life is being,
and must be, lifted up. We cannot
do the enormously increased busi-
ness of the world to-day on the moral
plane where we were living 25 years
ago. If we attempt it we shall plunge
ourselves in chaos. We have got to
have higher principles of justice and
equality and clearer notions of finan.
cial integrity, and stronger convictions
of fidelity to trusts, and deeper sense
of the business responsibility of every
man to the whole communicative

''and I'm proud to shake 'ands with q

He gripped Mr.. Wiggett's hand, and
the other followed yait The wooden
legged man wound up with Mr.. Ketch-
maid, and, disdaining to notice that
that veracious mariners grasp was
somewhat limp, sank into his chair
again and asked for a cigar.

ially as he took it from him. I'm going
to and 'em round. This is my treat,
mates. Pore old Henry Wiggetts
treat"
He passed the box round Mr..
ketchmaid watching in helpless indig-
nation as the customers, discarding
their pipes, thanked Mr.. Wiggett.
Closing time came all too soon, Mr..
for a moment in doubt, developing
gifts to which his friend had never
even alluded.
Il 'ope you're satisfied" said Mr..
Wiggett, as the landlord, having shot
the bolts of the front door, returned to
the bar.
You went bit too far" said Mr..
hSttlllhdiu, oiOitiy SOu SHOuiu ho

you to do. And who asked you to

other.

added the Landlord.

his forehead; 80 d. I'm very sor-
ny; I'll tell en- tomorrow night"
Mention it casual like, tomorrow

"and get off in the afternoon, then I'll
give you some dinner besides the five
shillings as arranged"
To the landlords great annoyance

ing. when he explained that he had
walked too far for his crippled condi-
tion and was unable 10 get back.

blunted the edge of their appetite-it
must be remembered that they had
not eaten anything since the noon be-
fore-and from the woman they
learned the lay of the land.
They scrambled through by-paths
for long time and a little after six
o'clock reached the main road. Be-
fore them rose the broken walls of q
gentleman's country seat. The road
was deserted at that hour. Ellen
hardly knew what to do. She did not
know how far it was to the next inn,
nor was she certain, il she did know
that 1t would be a safe place for her
to hide. Debbie, out of whom the
spirit had been almost crushed by the
succession of dazzling adventures
through which she had passed, could
offer no suggestion of value. She
clung to Ellen's arm as if the latter
had been a man, and so far as
help or assistance was concerned was
z mere dead weight
"One thing l tell you, Ellen" she be-
gan at last, Il can go no farther; that
find some place TO rest"
We'll, dear" said Ellen, tired
enough herself, but man beside poor
Debbie, lets enter that park, per-
haps we can find some one there
among the servants who will help us
without asking too many questions.
Those clothes you have on, Ellen"
said Debbie, desperately, "are bound
to attract attention, or you in them.
! don't know what we are going to do!
| wish / We're back in Darlington. or
| wish ! was in Boston, or on the Fly
ing Star, or anywhere but here"
Cheer up, Debbie," said Ellen. TAX
ing her by the hand and leading her
forward, well get into this park and
it shall go hard with us If I don't find
some means of succoring you"
The two stumbled along the road
for a quarter of a mile, looking for a
| place of entrance. The gate was be-
hind them, but Ellen did not deem it
wise to try that. Finally they came
/ to a low place in the wall over which
| Ellen helped Debbie and followed her

"Hennery Wig-gett!" gasped the
landloard. as a small man with ragged
whiskers appeared at the wicket, "it
can't be!"
The newcomer regarded him ten
derly for moment without word,
and then, kicking open the door with
an unmistakable wooden leg, stunIped
into the bar, and grasping his out
stretched hand shook it fervently.
"The sight o. you, Hennery Wig
gett, Is better to me than diamonds"
said Mr.. Ketchmaid, ecstatically. How
did you get here?"
A friend Of his, Cap'n Jones OF the
barque Venue, gave me a passage to
London" said Mr.. Wiggett, "and I've
tramped down from there without a
penny in my pocket"
And Sol Ketchmaid's glad to see
you, sir" said Mr.. Smith, who, with
the rest of the company, had been
looking on in state of great admira-
tion. He's never tired of telling US
'ow you saved him from the shark and
'ad your leg bit off in so doing"
I'D ave my other bit off for i'm,
too" said Mr.. Wiggett, as the landlord
patted him affectionately on the shoul-
der and thrust glass of spirits into
his hands. Cheerful, would. The
kindest'earted and the bravest man
that ever breathed, Is old Sol Ketch-
maid"
You never card anything more o.

Ketchmaid.
Mr.. Wiggett put down his glass.

hours struggling, they came to an
open piece of sward, newly moved IL
was evident from the piles of grass
that had been raked away on the
edges. On the opposite of it a little
brook purled merrily over sand and
pebbles.
Thither the two women staggered,
of the sweetness and bathed their
faces and hands in the cold water.
They were thus engaged when they
heard voices coming from the direc-
tion of the hall
Instantly Ellen seized Deborah and
ran back to the thicket whence they
had just emerged and lay down, en-
tirely concealed by the underground,
although able to see everything them
selves that took place on the grass.

Debbie. after she had been forced

Ellen.

matron and the maid, but Ellen fiat

marriage had made her wise

she added.

Debbie, resentfully "and look what a
position we're in"
"Hush!" said Ellen. Here they
are"
At the same instant a man stepped
into the clearing. Deborah opened
her mouth as if to scream. Ellen
caught her violently by the arm re.
peating her caution.
Its Lord Strathgate!" murmured
Deborah, amazed.
Il see," returned Ellen. "Now, will
you be quiet?"
Il wonder what he's here for?"
whispered poor Deborah under her
breath.
