.l.E29sesT Of1AF1Eh IL. ssts
Denis Tngraham had often wished
that he had sister. but this desire had
never been so great as when he had paid
. visit to the house of Gen. Colquhon and
been witness once again of the dreary
solitude of Ianthes life. His mother
was a bit of a hypochondriac, who spent
most of her life abroad in pursuit of
health. No doctor had been able to per-
suade her that her health was in quite
a good average condition During the
part of the year which she spent at
home she saw few visitors. and on the
few occasions that Ianthe had seen her,
she frightened the shy girl with her
abrupt questions and air of general dis
appreciation.
Denis naturally only saw Ianthe at in
tervals, but he had always been fond of
the child and had treated her with the
frank camaraderie of a brother OF re-
cent years he had seen very little of her
and, it must be confessed, had thought
as little. But now his fathers falling
health had brought him home for good
and Denis realized that Ianthe might
make very pleasant factor in his ex-
istence. Up to the evening when he had
thus accidentally come across her he had
been far too busy to think much of his
social obligations, but after that he
sought the earliest occasion of paying a
visit to Gen. Colquhon. The houses were
about five miles1apart as the crow flies,
and good bit farther by road, and one
afternoon Denis, who seldom walked or
drove when he could ride, rode over to
carry out his promise to Ianthe.
The old general was always very keen
to hear news of the outside world, and
usually kept Denis long time before
they got on to topics nearer home. At
last an opening came.
Il must ring and let Ianthe know you
are here" said Gen. Colquhon at last,
rising on his equity old limbs to reach
the bell.
81 met Ianthe in the grounds" inter-
posed Denis hastily; gin fact it was part
ly on her account that l came here to-
day."
The color rose in the young mans
cheek, for the task which lay before him
was not exactly easy and he knew that
he had no great talent for diplomacy.
Gen. Colquhon misinterpreted this sign
and a pleased smile rose on his lips. 1t
had been his one idea concerning Ianthe
to see her married to the man before
him, but he had not expected that such
thing would take place until the girl
was considerably older Denis words
suddenly revived this dream and the old
man responded in most friendly man
ner.

FLIES STOPPED A TRAIN.
Peculiar Cause That Brought an Engine
in Canada to a Standstill.

in Canada to a Standstill.
A few days ago the Grand Trunk flyer
going east was in hard luck. At Napa-
nee the steam box on the big engine got
overheated, or something, and refused to
continue the journey. The timely ar
riva! of freight train helped The cars
were shunted to a siding and the freight
engine brought into commission on the
express, taking it as far as Brockville.
when another large engine was secured.
Now comes the peculiar part of the
troubles of that train: When about
twenty miles out of Cornwall il ran into
q sea of peculiar flies. There were mil
lions of them-perhaps billions, but the
train was going so fast it was impossible
to count them. The cars became quite
dark as the train plou9hed through the
mass Of insects, and then the train came
10 another sudden stop. The engine was
full of flies. The little things were
ground into a mass in the driving rod.
They were IN everything on the engine.
The train had been ploughing through
the flies at a mile a minute for several
miles. The track was covered with
crushed insects and the engine wheels
baked at going round on il. After a
little persuasion and a lot Of cleaning
up the train went upon it's way again.
On arrival at Montreal the engine pre-
scented a truly curious spectacle. The
bars of the cowcatcher were filed right
up with flies. On the front Of the engine
they were several inches thick.-Toronto
