men who were surveying a line of rail
road to follow the grade of rivers.
This custom during later years has
been abandoned. The Moffat road, as
the line across the mountains is call
ed cuts across the water courses, fol
lows the ridges of the foot hills. gains
little by little in elevation, as it winds
up around the lofty sides OF the giant
peaks and finally traces the length of
its shining rails across the top of Roll
Inns Pass, 1860 feet above the sea.
1t is worth a journey clear to Colorado
to see the Wondrous panorama of
scenery that spreads away in every
direction from the train as the great
engines struggle on up the rugged
slopes.
The train leaves Denver in the
morning and passes through smiling
farm lands where shallow streams
murmur along through green mead
oWs and irrigating bitches glisten in
the bright Colorado sunshine. The
road swings back and forth along the
base of the low foot hills, and the
engine dragging it's train of coaches
begins to snort and wave it's banner
of black smoke as if preparing for a
conflict with giants. Before the pas
penger has ridden half hour the lev
ell plains with Denver like a jeweled
ornament upon it's surface lie below
him. The train has climbed to a
height which enables the gazer to look
eastward for what seems an intermin-

able distance. On the train struggles
up the 2 per cent grade which lies be-
tween Denver and the base of the
main range. The track is as smooth
as any railroad in the world; the rails
are great sections of steel, eighty
pounds to the yard-the heaviest
made. The road bed is hewn from
solid rock and the train rolls over its
level surface as easily as a billiard
ball propelled across the broadcloth
surface of table.
The first forty-five miles of the trip
leads up from Denver to the base of
the great Continental Divide. South
Boulder creek meets the road shortly
after the train leaves Denver. After
running a few miles the road rises
above the creek until finally the
stream bowling along bank-full like a
veritable torrent, lies hundreds of
feet below the pathway of the train.
This stream is a favorite resort for
trout, which can be seen darling
quickly to cover under the sheltering
rocks as the great iron horse goes
laundering by above them.
Finally the train pulls into Tolland
situated in the midst Of Boulder Park
Tolland is summer resort place,

wrong about Sisterson's wealth Per
haps it was that she grudged him his
success human touch of envy and
jealousy which would not be surpris-
ing in her circumstances; but she was
possessed of a very singular idea
suspicion would be the better word.
1t seems that my father was of an in

trying to find out Or make things
there are men like that-and just a
few days before he was killed he had
told her that after working on it for
two years he had lighted on wonder
full thing-a great discovery, but he
did not tell her what it was, which
was most unlucky for us, as the secret
died with him, SO far as we know"
Eyes, most unlucky,' said Christa-
bel. In her ears was the sound of Sir
Johns voice addressing the unseen
man. ct has taken you two years Of
experiment, Tom? What's that, now
you've got it? Nothing-just nothing

hesitating tone, very different from
that usual to her, as she added, ques-
tioning1y, "The secret died with him p

Norman. "My mothers idea, howev-

my fathers discovery, and that it had
something to do with what was after

made his gigantic pile. It was an alb

man, with a smile, "but mother be-
lieved in it thoroughly. She even
went SO far as to declare that Sister

'Yes?" queried Christabel, excited

my mother was so convinced that
father had found out the materials, or
the process, or whatever it is, that
makes Sisterson's cement better than
the rest, that she actually went to
John Sisterson and as good as accused
him of having stolen it from the
dead"
And what did Sir John say?' asked
Christabel, eagerly.
"Sisterson told my mother that she
was mistaken, that the discovery was
entirely his own, and that father had
nothing to do with it. Mother would
not and did not believe him, and al

A WICKED LIFE BOAT.

Its Inventor Claims 1t Is Unbrcakable
and Lighter Than Wooden Craft.
life boat that has more than
mere novelty to commend it to the
attention of the seafaring community
has recently been constructed by &. j..
F. de Vos of Rotterdam. Its claims
are essentially practical, and there
is nothing about this Dutch invention
to suggest the fantastic-a character
istic too often encountered in life
boat patents.
In point of fact there is nothing
unusual in the mode favored by Mr.
de Vos; it is in the adoption of
new material of construction that the
value and interest of his invention
lie. It's hull is made of cane or
plated wicker work, and the invent
or. who is already we'll known in Hol-
land for his marine auxiliary patents,
claims for this new method or lie
boat building many advantages over
other and older forms.
It's first and foremost advantage IS
obviously it's practically unbreakable
character. This has already been put
to a severe test in a collision winch
occurred on the River Mas some
months ago between Belgian sail
inc yacht and a Dutch motor boat.
The violence of the collision was con-
siderably mitigated by the fact that
this wicker life boat lay between the
two craft. and as it turned out acted
as a sort of buffer. sustaining no 9TH
er damage than the breaking OF the
mast and stays.
It is unsuitable, it hes no rustlng
materials, and therefore requires no
paint. 1t is not liable to leakage, and
in addition to being much lighter than
ordinary wooden boats it has more
room for storing provisions and
water. Finally it costs less money
than the usual type of boat.

the sides of the mountain ramparts
that form the water shed of the con-
tinent. When near the top great
gulches yawn beside the track, in
which mountain streams trickle like
threads of silver on their way to the
far-off ocean.
High above Boulder Park the track
swings around two lakes, Yankee Doc
die and Jenny lake; one an emerald
green and the other as blue as the
skies that bend DER Italy. These
bodies of water, snow-born and re-
flecting the skies and peaks above
them since time began, change color
as the phases of the sun tint them.
Their prismatic quality affords end
less entertainment for those who
pass; at times they sparkle as the
shafts of dawn touch their surfaces;
then in the glare of the moon they re-
fleet back green and blue, and, when
evenings light gilds them with its
hues they mingle red, orange and the
colors Of fire in their depths. Travel
ers who have wandered far about the
globe say these two mountain lakes
are matched nowhere in the world for
lonesome atmosphere and the serene
beauty of their placid depths.
Beyond these lakes the tracks
windings takes you to a sight that has
no counterpart in the worlds railroad
building. The mountain juts out
sheer a thousand feet above the val
ley. forming Variable point of rock
after the manner of old Lookout
Mountain. The track crawls along
the side of this towering cliff, rising
by steep grade all the way, and, just
before reaching the farthest point
above the gorge below, slips through
a short tunnel and goes serenely on
it's way. This hole in the mountain
looks remarkably similar to keyhole
in a door.
And Rollins Pass! The highest
point of all; 1850 feet above the
tides! This elevated spot is a few
miles beyond where the road runs
like thread OF steel, through the
mighty point of the mountains rock,

CAPTURING AN ENGINE.
How a PIucky Engineer Overlook
Runaway on English Railway.

Runaway OF EHSIISH n~'iVe0J'
One of the finest stories in the his
tory of the railways centers round
runaway engine On the Stockton &
Darl' ngton line, says the London
Standard.
The engine was observed by the
driver of another and more powerful
one Seeing the fugitive speeding in
the direction of Darlington he I'M
COUPLED his own engine, crossed sAthe
roints and set out in pursuit ON the
same line It was a long chase, but
the pursuer, driven at top speed, grad
ually oyerhauled the runaway
At last it came near enough for the
driver to crawl to the front Of his en-
CINE and drop a stout chain over the
tender hook Of the other. He returned
to his footplate, shut off steam and
screwed down his brake
This steadied the one in front and
SO retarded its pace that the driver
was now abe to creep from his own
enoine on to the runaway, put on the
brake, and bring it to a standstill, al

The little church Of Absam, near

is probably unique of its kind.
1t is a popular superstition that
couples united within the church of

This idea brings scores of lovers to
Absam, and during May in particular
