He uttered yell like wild Indian.
The diamonds had come back to the
ebony casket.
1t required no very great penetrl-
ton to see through this case. Sylvia
had learned the secret of the box from
the cipher I'm the old blank book. Des-
perately anxious about Mckellar's af-
fairs. she had striven to raise money
to help him secretly, since he would
not have accepted open aid from her.
But she saw that she would never get
the money in time to save him.
The jewels had inspired her with Il
wild idea. She had taken them as
soon as her brother was safely up
stairs borrowed them. let me say. for
she put them in pledge and raised the
money to redeem them at the earliest
moment

TRAIN DISPATcHING.
System Had Its Beginning on the Erie
Railroad In 1850.


Railroad In 1850.
In 1850 Il train OH the Erie railroad.
on board of which there happened to
be an official Of the road, arrived ut
its scheduled meeting point and was
obliged to await the train from the
opposite direction. AS time passed
and the other train did not appear the
official. becoming impatient ut the long
delay, went to the telegraph office and
wired the next station. asking If the
expected train had passed. On receiv.
ing an answer that it had not he wired
the station agent to stop the train and
have it wait until the arrival of the
train on which he was riding.
He then requested the engineer to
take the train to the next station. but
found that he objected because it was
irregular and he had no faith in the
telegraph. Not until the official had
commanded the engineer 10 start his
train was the movement made. Upon
arriving at the next station it was
found that the other train had not yet
appeared. The telegraph was again
employed and the train moved up an
other station.
This demonstration of the saving in
time which cou,f ne effected by using
the telegraph led to the system Of dis
patching trains which has existed un-
challenged until the present time.-Chi.

This homemade derrick is very use

connected by two three-inch planks
twelve feet long bolted to their upper
sides and by 10 inch timber secure
ly fastened across the middle. on which
rests an iron plate with two inch
hole in the center for the mast which
carries the weight. The mast Is twen-

pin set In its base. This goes through
the iron plate. The mast is supported
eight feet from the bed by an iron
bound three inch plank platform four

from the base of the mast fiat place
is worked on two sides, and ten inch
planks fourteen feet long are bolted
to it, one on either side. This double

Rescue Stations Fer Miners.

The decision of the United States
geological survey to establish rescue
stations in the leading coal fields Of
this country is prompted by humani-
tarian considerations which will meet
with universal approval. The stations
will be located in centers where the
most fatal accidents have occurred.
A complete plant for the rescue OF
miners will be provided. and board
of experts will instruct both the on-
cials and the miners in its use. The
instruction corps will consist Of thor

In the possession of the Olmstead

countered some oddities in that line in
the course of nearly thirty years Of
detective work. 1t was made of ebony
ornamented with silver and measured
Q by I inches by 4 in height. There
were many peculiarities of the silver
inlay. and the design was thought to
be highly artistic but the chief point
