Ignorance often saves much DIS
ouietnde. Many have heard the story
of the woman whose first experience
in q railway train ended with an accl-
dent Thrown from her seat and shaken
up generally, she nevertheless retained
her eouanimity. When asked II she
were frightened. she replied, "trlght-
ened, No. | didn't know but that was
the way they always stopped" 1t Is
to be hoped that the trolley passenger
in Mr.. Howells' anecdote, introduced
into confessions of Summer Colo
MIST" was possessed Of the same trust
in the event The conductor, at least,
preserved his presence Of mind. Says
Mr. HOwells:
had long expected to see some one
thrown out Of the open trolley car at
some of the short curves. One day a
woman was actually hurled from her
seat into the road. Luckily, she alight-
ed on her feet, and stood looking about
as if in daZe.
"Oh. OH" exclaimed passenger.
"She's left her umbrella"
The conductor promptly threw it out.
"Why. did that lady wish to get
out?' | asked.
The conductor pOndered moment
before he answered:
well. she'll want her umbrella, any
way"

One cold, wintry morning. says a
writer I'm the Argonaut, man Of tall
and angular build was walking down a
steep hill at brisk pace. A piece Of
ice under the snow caused him to slip
and lose control Of his feet. He began
to slide. and was unable to stop.
At a crossing half way down he en-
cOuntered a large. heavy woman. The
meeting was sudden, and before either
realized 1t a collision cnsued, and both
were sliding down hill, the thin man
underneath, the fat woman on top.
When the bottom Of the hill was
reached. and the woman was trying to
recover her breath and her feet these
faint words were borne to her ear:
Pardon me. madam. but you will
have to get off here. This is as far as
| go"

CHAPTER NNII.
Yes, the dynamite. He had pledged
his word to the imprisoned agent of tn,
Vulcan Company to hasten to Murryvill,
on wings Of speed, and here he was dal
wing!
1t had been a solemn compact between
Warren and himself, that if he, Hope
escaped he was to hasten to the Vandykt
House at that town, and remove, sink
difuse, obliterate the death-dealng ex
plosive ere it had ripened to the full point
If spontaneous combustion the next morn
ing.
He had been on his way to fulfill his
pledge when, applying at this house for q
horse and vehicle, he had so strangely
discovered his enemy.
He had lost valuable time-two whole
hours in this house Would he be too
late?
Despite his interest in Kane, his har-
rowing anxiety concerning Claire Hope
felt the spur of action like sudden dag
ger thrust.
The unsupported agent of destruction
reposed. according to the dynamite agent,
in a closet in a room at the Nandyke
House at Murryville, now about ten
miles distant, and when it exploded scores
a hundred--lives might be blotted out
The urgency. the horror of the affair
consumed Hope-he unceremoniously
dashed from the room, leaving Kane amaz-
ed at the motive Of his sudden evanish-
ment.
He heard Kane call out sharply to the
woman:
"Elita-it is Hope, that man. Rouse
your friends. He knows all :.
And minute later, as he sped by the
window outside, Hope shot a glance past
its waving curtains to see the woman
reused to excitement and rushing into the
apartment occupied by her husband to
learn more of his meaning.
"If they have accompices in reach,
shall be pursued" reasoned Hope.
SO he did not pursue the open road,
but striking through the dense brush esti-
mated the precise direction in which Muir
ryville lay, and amid the vigor of intense
excitement and resolution disdained all
obstacles that lay in his way.
A strange. new sense of exultatlon pos
sessed his soul as he dashed madly on
coherent. clear-cut purposes were out
lined in his thoughts of tactical, logical
sequences. Thus, he seemed to see the
work of a forward twelve hours all mark
ed out and executed through time and en-
deav0r-he would secure, dispose OF the
fearful explosive out of harms way. Then

might not locate her at once, but love
would find a way to trace her mysteri-
ous whereabouts. although these new dis
coveries might be but the prelude to
new series of complications. The end
was nearer. tragically nearer, than Gideon
Hope fancied.
1t was an uncanny hour when, torn by
briers and mud bespattered and bruised
from frequent falls, he entered the silent
town of Murryville.
At the hotel, light burned only in
tho office. where half slumbered the tired
night clerk.
Warren. Gideon's fellow captive in the
private madhouse, had fully equipped hlm
for the contingency of having to proceed
alone for the satchel Of dynamite.

Act.

The beneficial effects of the law pass

beginning to be felt In the appearance
of annual reports with which the gov

The change came about Us the result
of years OF experience on the subject,
and the bill authorizing the change
was introduced into the senate Of
the 1905 session by Senator Hollings-s
worth of Ogden, who came to the legis-
lature after serving as county clerk of
Weber county and learned what the
value OF All early report would be

fiscal year to Nov. so, for instance,
enables outgoing state officials to com
