touring Corsica, rescues the young Eng

err. and his Corsican bride, Marina,

sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles.
Marina is handed a mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates postponement of the journey.
Barnes gets part of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he Is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans

These are to be followed by the

Passing of Club Cars of Commuters

run empty, but it's luxury is not for
the average commuter under any con-
dittons. Nor will Morristown share
its club car privilege with Summit or
Short Hills. Nor Plainfield with West
field or Crawford. Nor Lakewood with
anybody, nor Tuxedo with Paterson.
They are singular and expressive evil
dences of exclusiveness.
One of the roads has notified it's
patrons that a club car will be put on
for 20 subscribers this year from any
station. Hitherto it demanded 30
patrons. It has also reduced it's price
by five dollars. But, notwithstanding
these tempting offers, some of them
have been taken off simply because
the people have not the money to
spend for that purpose. In one case a
darker cause was discovered. They
play cards on the trips and a profes.
sional gambler secured a membership
and piled his vocation so successfully
as to disrupt the community as well
as to nearly bankrupt it. For that
reason one of the Morristown cars
goes back to the common status of a
parlor car on the day express.

IA ANHATTAN ISLAND will not
w float out to sea. There is no
danger of it losing it's moorings on
the surrounding shores and carrying
its two million or more Inhabitants
down the bay. It is tied with bands of
steel on all sides that have cost $780,
100000, and they promise to be in
creased soon.
Not being satisfied with 10 bridges
anchored to it's borders, it has COM
pleted, or nearly completed, seven tun-
nels, carrying steel rails under the
surrounding waters which unite it to
the further shores.
Many inhabitants of the island do
not realize the number of these fixed
bands that tie it on all sides. They
know that there are bridges, and they
have recently heard great deal about
tunnels, but comparatively few per-
sons can name these connections and
tell exactly where they are located.
The best known of these steel ways is
the great Brooklyn bridge, from Park
row, that has been in use about "a

More enamored than ever with the

the yachts deck becomes a heaven to
these lovers.

whose house Bishop Mackay-Smith

Over this they hold consultation, and
the result is that next morning when
they are off Porto Ferrajo, still finding
the felucca in sight, they take the fol-
lowing action: That day, sailing well
beyond the famed island of Monte
Cristo, the night coming on dark and
heavy, Anstruther put out every light
on the vessel and turns about, and the
next morning, piloted by Graham, who
knows this sea, they are alone at an
Choir in a little cove, sheltered by the
sterile rocks of Gorgona.
Here the English officer changes the
appearance of the Seagull almost en-
tirely. Paint pots are got out and she
soon has black hull; Miss Anstru-
ther, who is now interested in the
matter, painting new name, the
Wildfowl, on a piece of canvas, that
is tackled over the stern. Then both
topmasts of the vessel are sent down
on deck and a leg-of-mutton mainsau

the gaff being removed. In addition,
the rigging is overhauled and made
more slack and slouchy like that of
some careless merchant trading
schooner.
So the next day, beating cut upon
the sea between Elba and Corsica, is a
very different vessel to the brilliant
pleasure craft that left Marseilles.
Upon it's deck are people also changed.
