The Lost Train,

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling has told us OF
the ship that found herself, and doubt.
less some Frenchmen will shortly
write of tho train that lost herself
near Senlis.
The train was an express, which
left Paris for Amiens. BY a mistake
OF a pointsman outside Creil. the train
lost it's way and went OF toward Com.
piegne instead of to Amiens.
The engine driver realized that he
was not in the straight path, but
knowing that there was another e
press train behind him, dared not 60
back, and he raced along the line to
find the nearest siding.
The guard and q number of the pas
sengers knew also that something was
wrong, and heads were thrust out OF
all the windows, and the passengers
shouted to the driver that he was tax.
ing them away from Amiens. The
train dashed through several stations,
and eventually took refuge in . siding
outside Pont Sainte Maxence. Two
minutes after It got in tho express
which followed it went by like a mo
teor.
The lost train then returned to Creil
was shunted to the Amiens line, and
got to Amiens more than two hours
late.-London Express.

CANDY.

One Dealer Who Helps the Boarding
School Girls to Get Sweets.
A certain city in which flourish in
Vulnerable boarding schools has a
candy store which Is the secret Nee
ca of every girl who can escape from
her c%haperon long enough to hasten
to it's hospitable door.
The name Of the city shall not be
divulged; for the matrons and house
mothers and %chaperons and principals
and all the other supervisors Of the
appetites and purses Of their respect.
i've hocks might happen to see this
and get wise.
These supervisory personages have
shown a cruel hardness of heart on
the subject Of candy which has made
it necessary for the owners Of a sweet
tooth to use up much gray matter in
eluding the prohibitions which have
been pronounced against sweets.
They have a friend and abettor in
the man who owns the candy store
mentioned above. II you happen to
be a girl of boarding school age and
to go into his store to buy candy he
gives you a kindly and confidential
smile az he says:
want it tied up In school style?"
Then. II you say yes, he goes
through a most extraordinary perfor-
nance. He wads paper into outland-
ish lumpy shapes and stufs 1t in
around tho candy box until when the
package Is finally completed, wrap
ped and handed out to you. nc one
except q school girl who Is in the %.
cret-would dream what was In It.
It might contain a tin trumpet. or q
toy horse and wagon, or q pair II
shoes. or q clock. But nc one. not
even 4 chaperon, would think Of can
dy. The girls carry their forbidden
sweets homo to the school under hez
Sery eyes and she IL none the wiser.

THE MARINERS COMPASS.
Influences That Draw II From Its A.
l%eqiance to the Magnetic Pole.

Influences That Draw X From Its Al.
Iegiance to the Magnetic Polo.
Nothing in the navigational equip.
ment of a ship has been the subject
Of more anxious scientific research or
mariners compass.
The popular notion OF the compass
needle always pointing north and
south is-well. more inaccurate than
even popular notions usually are.
Even under the most favorable condi-
lions there are only certain places
upon the surface Of the earth where
the compass needle does point north
and south, and it is quite safe to say
that such conditions are never found
on board Of any ship.
But we must go further and say that
no more ~unfavorable position could be
found for a compass than on board of
a modern steamship, which Is a COM
plicated mass Of steel, all tending to
draw the compass needle from its al
legiance to the magnetic pole Of the
earth, warning influences which must
needs be counteracted by all sorts
Of devices which hedge round the In
strument by an invisible wall of con-
1icting currents of magnetism.
And as if this were not enough there
are now huge dynamos to be reckoned
with, producing electric currents for
all sorts of purposes on board. In tho
midst of these msytic currents the
poor little compass needle. upon which
the mariner depends for his guide
across the trackless deep, hangs sus-
pended like one shrinking saint sur.
rounded by legion of devils.

SILAS K.
CHAPTER l.-(ContInued,)

When she returned to the living
roc the logs on the hearth were
cracking cheerfully again and the
wind rumbled in the chimney a little
less noisily. Putting out the light Of
the lamp, she dropped into the rock
ing chair and stared at the fire with
~unblinking eyes. Slowly the numb
ness was passing out of her heart, and
sense Of the reality of things was taxi
ing It's place.
Tears came into her eyes at length
and rolled slowly down her cheeks.
She had reached the end of one stage
of her life. Never again would she
wait and listen for the coming of her
father. He would come no more.
THE dad is dead-dead-dead!"
She repeated the words to heNelf
again and again, as If she wanted to
realize all their significance, and with
fell faster.
She took no heed Of the flight Of
time. She was only vaguely conscious
that the wind was still soushing in
the pines and the rain beating against
the window. Nothing mattered. She
seemed to have reached the end Of oil
things. She had lived for her father
because there was nothing else on
earth to live for. Now hat he was
gone she was stranded utterly.
She fell to sobbing presently, and
the sobs seemed to ease her heart.
The awful sense of loneliness became
less poignant. The complaining wind
caught a more cheerful tone, the
cracking logs burst into laughter now
and then, the sobs became fewer until
they ceased altogether, and then she
remembered no more until she opened
her ayes with a start and saw the
black face of Dinah bending over her.

distinctly that pleasant experience Of
her girlhood. Edward Entwistle. now
a resident Of Des Moines, Ia, was the
engineer who hauled the little four
wheel coaches from understood
Yorkshire, to Liverpool.
People came from the country to
Huddersfeld just like they do now on
a circus day said Mrs. Farrar, who
Is vigorous, in spite of her 81 years.
THE word had been circulated
throughout the country that an excur-
new tramway, and that no horses
would be used in starting or in holdin@
it Jack from running down hill too
fast. The people who gathered into
Huddersfeld were very much divided
in their opinion as to whether Engi-
neer Entwistle would ever return with
his train load Of passengers from his
venturesome enterprise.
Three small fiat cars were behind
Mr.. Entwistle's steam motor. There
were no seats. The passengers had to
stand up and hold to each other to
keep from falling of on the right-of-
way. My mother and were together.
The little cars rocked violently and it
seemed at times that they would GER
tainly turn over. In going up hill the
engine pulled and threw out great
clouds Of smoke and cinders. We felt
like people who were enjoying our
first experience in a dirigible balloon,

From West to East.

fEf
A week later Marion said good by
TO Odero and started on her journey
East. No one was held responsible
for her fathers death. A brief inquest
was held for forms sake, and the Jury
unanimously returned q verdict Of
death by m%isadvsnture. Such shoot
ing cases were common enough in oil
frontier cities. Nearly every sther
man carried q revolver in his belt.
and sometimes = b~owie-knife as well.
In the drinking and gambling saloons,
where men played for high stakes,
quarrels were frequent and sudden,
and were settled as suddenly as they
rose. The man who was quickest with
his six-shooter got the best Of the
argument.
Dick Vests nimbleness had stood
him in good stead in many a fracas,
but failed him at the last. Before he
could pull the trigger q burning shot
from his opponents weapon had
pierced his chest and he fell MORALLY
wounded. He was not surprised. He
had always anticipated some such
end. For thirty years he had been q
law unto himself. He had left his
native land because his manner Of life
made him more enemies than friends.
He had turned to his own account ev-
cry one who was simple enough to
trust him. He had cheated his best
friends without the slightest qualm of
conscience. He had regarded every
man as fair game for his cunning.
He was buried without any unfriend-
" demonstration. II he had cheated
more people than any other man in
Odero that was over now. He had
paid the penalty. and It was not good
form to cherish q grudge when a nan
was dead.
Marion and Dinah were the only
mourners. though a crowd Of rough
men who had known Dick West gath
cred round the open grave In respect
ful silence.
After the funeral Marion spent q
whole day in going through the con-
tents Of the cowhide trunk. She
found the silver box Ut the bottom.
but did not attempt to epen 1t. The
hingless lid lifted 90 closely that she
could not get the point Of . needle

and even bracelets. There were also
several bundles Of greenbacks, rep
~resenting In all yer Z thousand dol
lars. In addition there were curios,
pistols, knives. spear-heads. beads and
. miscellaneous assortment Of papers
that appeared to be OF NO particular
value. These were surmounted by ar
ticles Of underwear and a dress suit
much out Of date.
Marion allowed what was valuable
TO remain at the bottom Of the trunk.
and packed her own clothes on top.
She was not overstocked with dresses.
Odero was out Of the range Of the
fashionable world, but such dresses
% she had were we'll made and Of en-
during material.
There was much wailing On the
mart OF Ddnah ON the eve OF her de-
parture, for the negress had shared
their fortune for at least I'VE years
and had come to regard Marion as her

STOLEN HORSES
Located in NlddIebury To-Day
 By local Police.

pair of draught horses valued at about $400 which were stolen from New York early last week were To- cated in Middlebury to-day by the police. A few days ago the police re- ceived word that team of horses, both black, weighing about 1,400 pounds each, s years of age, one with white star on forehead and bunch on near hind leg, the other with white strip on face and white legs had been stolen from New York. They had been traced as far as Kinneys stables, New Haven. The local de- partment next learned they had been brought to this city. This morning they received information that last evening couple of young men stop ped at the home of Meyer Greenblat in Middlebury and asked for lodging. He refused them. Next they tried to sell him team of horses which were tied to the rear of the buggy. Greenblat had been informed to be on the look out for the stolen horses. He inn mediately accused the fellows of stealing the horses. The strangers jumped into their wagon and drove away, leaving the horses to Grean- blat. He in turn notified Selectman w. D. Munson. It appears that the men not only stole the horses from New York, but after selling them in this city stole them again, after sell ing them for $S5.
 The man who hired the horses in New York has been arrested there
