.Ruskin on RAILWAYS,

One can imagine perhaps the feel
ings with which Ruskin, had he been
alive, would have heard the news
that a new Alpine railway is now in
course of construction. His most
whitening sarcasms were directed
against those travellers through the
Alps by tunnels" who ''go to balls in
Rome, or bells at Monaco" And he
was vehemently opposed to all at
tempts to beautify the railway sta
ton. 'The railroad" he writes, in
"The Seven Lamps of Architecture, ="
'is in all it's relations of earnest bust
ness, to be got through as soon as
possible 1t transmutes a man from
a traveller into a living parcel. For
the time he has parted with the
nobler characteristics of his human
ity for the sake of planetary power
of locomotion. Do not ask him to
admire anything. You might as well
ask the wind. Carry him safely, dis
miss him soon-he will thank you for
nothing else"

her friend, vaguely thoughtful, and

Margaret was a little ashamed of
what she had said SO naturally.

Then he suggests going to Constan-

"Konstantin says they dress very
WE'LL" Margaret said. "But of course
it is out of the question to do any
thing so ridiculous. 1t will end in the
chapel-of-ease. I'm sure. He always
has his own way. That's probably
why I'm going to marry him, just be-
cause he insists on it. I don't see any
other very convincing reason"
Lady Maud could not think of any
thing to say in answer to this; but
as she really liked the singer she
thought it was a pity.
Paul Griggs, the veteran man of
letters, smiled rather sadly when she
met him shopping in New Bond street,
and told him of Margaret's engage
ment. He said that most great sing
ers married because the only way to
the divorce court led up the steps
of the altar. Though he knew the
world he was not cynic, and Lady
Maud herself wondered how long it
would be before Logotheti and his
wife separated.
But they are not married yet"
Griggs added, looking at her with the
quietly ready expression of man
who is willing that his indiffer ent
words should be taken to have sDe-
cial meaning if the person to whom
he has spoken chooses, or is able, to
understand them as they may be UNI
derstood, but who is quite safe from
being suspected of suggesting any
thing if there is no answering word
or glance.
Lady Maud returned his look, but
ner handsome face grew rather cold.

about her gown, but she still put off
naming day for the wedding, in spite
of Logotheti's growing Impotence.
This was the situation when the
London season broke up and Mr.. Van
Torp landed at Southampton from an
ocean greyhound that had covered the
distance from New York in days IL
hours and 81 minutes, which will
doubtless seem very slow travelling If
any one takes the trouble to read this
tale 20 years hence, though the pas
sengers were pleased because it was
not much under the record time for
steamers coming east.
Five hours after he landed Van
Torp entered Lady Maud's drawing
room in the little house in Charles
street, Berkeley Square, where she
had lived with the departed Leven
from the time when he had been at
tached to the Russian embassy till he
had last gone away. She was giving
it up now, and it was already half dis
mantled. 1t was to see Van Torp that
she was in town in the middle of
August, instead of with her father at
Craythew or with friends in Scotland.
London was as hot as it could be,
which means that New Yorker would
have found it chilly and an Italian de-
lightfully cool; but the Londoners
were sweltering when Van Torp ar
rived, and were talking of the oppres-
sive atmosphere and the smell of the
pavement, not at all realizing how
blessed they were.
The American entered and stood
still moment to have a good look at
Lady Maud. He was middle-sized,
rather thick-set man, with rude hands,
sandy hair, an over-developed jaw,
and sharp blue eyes that sometimes
fixed themselves in disagreeable
way when he was speaking-eyes that
had looked into the barrel of another
mans revolver once or twice without
wavering, hands that had caught and
saddled and bridled many an unridden
colt in the plains, a mouth like car
pet-bag when it opened, like closed
vice when it was shut. He was not
handsome man, Mr.. Rufus Van Torp,
nor one with whom any one short Of a
prize-fighter would NEEDLE, nor one
to haunt the dreams of sweet 16. 1t
was not for his face that Lady Maud,
good and beautiful, liked him better
than any one in the world except her
own father, and believed in him and
trusted him, and it was assuredly not
for his money. The beggar did not
live who would dare to ask him for
penny after one look at his face, and
there were not many men on either
side of the Atlantic who would have
looked forward to any sort of contest
with him without grave misgivings.
WELL" he said, advancing the last
step after that momentary pause, and
taking the white hand in both his
own, "how have you been? Fair to
middling? About that? Well-Pm
glad to see you, gladder than sitting
hen at sunrise!"

That's nice of you. I really think /
mean to marry him, and I wish you
would help me with my wedding gown,
dear. 1t would be dreadful if looked
like Juliet, or Elsa, or Lucia! Every
body would laugh, especially as Kon-
stantin is rather of the Romeo type,
with his almond-shaped eyes and his
little black mustache! / suppose he
really is, isn't he?"
"Perhaps-just a little. But he is
very handsome fellow"
Lady Maud's lips quivered, but Mar
garet did not see.

called him exotic and he is-but I'm
awfully fond of him all the same.
Isn't that enough to marry on when
there's everything else? You really
will help me with my gown, won't
you? You're such an ANGEL"
ooh, yes, I'll do anything you like.
Are you going to have regular
knock-down-and-dra smash at ST.
Georges? The usual thing?'
Lady Maud did not despise slang,
but she made it sound like music.
"No," answered Margaret, rather re-
gretfully. 1--WE cannot possibly be
married till the seasons quite over, or
perhaps in the autumn, and then there
will be nobody here. I'm not sure
when I shall feel like it! Besides,
Konstantin hates that sort of thing. -
do you mean to say that you would

the marriage should not take placer
she inquired after a moment.
IF / don't give any reason, am
ever afterwards to hold my peace?'
asked Griggs, with faint smile on
his weather-beaten face. care you
publishing the bans? or are we think
ing of the same thing?"
II suppose we are. Good-mOrning.
She nodded gravely and passed on,
gathering up her black skirt little,
for there had been shower. He stood
still a moment before the shop win
dow and looked after her, gravely adj
miring her figure and her walk, as he
might have admired very valuable
thoroughbred. She was wearing
mourning for her husband, not be-
cause any one would have blamed her
if she had not done so, considering
how he had treated her, but out OF
natural self-respect.
Griggs also looked after her as she
went away because he felt that she
was not quite pleased with him for
having suggested that he and she had
both been thinking of the same thing.
The thought concerned third per-
son, and one who rarely allowed him
self to be overlooked no less man,
in fact, than Mr.. Rufus Van Torp, the
American potentate of the great
Nickel Trust, who was Lady Maud's
most intimate friend. and who had
long desired to make the prima donna
his wife He had bought place ad-
joining Lord Creedmore's, and there
had lately been a good deal of quite
groundless gossip about him and Lady
Maud, which had very nearly become

a scandal The truth was that they
were the best friends in the world,
and nothing more; the millionaire had
for some time been interested in an
unusual sort of charity which almost
filled the lonely woman's life, and he
had given considerable sums of money
to help it. During the months preced-
ing the beginning of this tale, he had
also been the object of one of those
dastardly attacks to which very rich
and important financiers are more eX-
posed than other men, and he had
actually been accused of having done
away with his partners daughter, who
had come to her end mysteriously dur
ing panic in New York theater.
But his innocence had been proved in
the clearest manner, and he had re-
turned to the United States to look
after the interests of the Trust.
When Griggs heard the news of
Margarets engagement to Logotheti,
he Immediately began to wonder how
Mr.. Van Torp would receive the intel
ligenee; and if it had not already oc-
CURED to Lady Maud that the million
aire might make final effort to rout
his rival and marry the prima donna
himself, the old authors observation
suggested such a possibility. Van
Torp was man who had fought up to
success and fortune with little regard
for the obstacles he found in his way;
he had worked as a cowboy in his
early youth, and was apt to look on
his adversaries and rivals in life eth
er as refractory cattle or as danger
GUS wild beasts; and though he had
some of the old-fashioned ranchero's
sense of fair play in a fight, he had
much of the reckless daring and ruth
less savagery that characterize the
fast-disappearing western desperate.
Logotheti, on the other hand, was
in many respects a true oriental, SUI
premely astute and superlatively calm,
but imbued, at heart, with a truly
eastern contempt for any law that
CHANGED to oppose his wish.
Both men had practically inexhaust-
| ible resources at their command, and
both were determined to marry the
| prima donna. 1t occurred to Paul
Griggs that a real struggle between
such a pair of adversaries would be
worth watching. There was unlimited
money on both sides, and equal cour-
age and determination The Greek was
the more cunning of the two, by great
| odds, and had now the considerable
advantage of having been accepted by
the lady; but the American was far
more regardless Of consequences to
