He was sleepy, and the train being crowded. the bag gageman gave him chair in his roomy car.
 Finally the train reached Bloom field. Fritz still slept as it pulled in and his friend had to shake him and tell him where he was.
 T tanks you,2 said Fritz, as he rose slowly to his feet. The open door of the car was directly in front of him. He walked straight out of it.
 The baggageman sprang to look aft CT him. Fritz slowly picked himself up from the sand by the side of the track, looked up at the door, and said with no wrath in his voice:

Girl Held as Accessory.

After q brief delay the Montrose continued her lG0-mile journey up the river toward Quebec. where the jail awaited the pair.

In charge of Inspector Dew they will be taken back to England for trial, on the Royal Line steamship Royal George leaving Quebec on Thursday next
 seldom has there been scene sur rounding the pursuit of criminal so pregnant with dramatic features as that enacted off this little settlement this morning.
 Inspector Dew had spent sleepless night as the Marconi operators s side, communicating through the fog with the liner that bore the man and woman he sought The man had lied to him in London by fleeing the city with the mystery of Belle Elmore $ disappear ance unsolved, and as this personal feeling entered into the case it accen- tuated the detectives desire to carry out the task assigned to him by Scot land Yard.
 Dew Attired as Pilot.
 At 4:30 q. m. the approaching ship whistle was heard above the believing of the Father Point foghorn. Inspector Dew $ impatience increased. Shortly after 7:30 clock the Montrose pushed her nose through the fog and at S:15 the pilot boat Eureka set out from the shore
 She carried host of newspapermen and photographers and the more fortu- nate townspeople, who were able tt crowd aboard. But Inspector Dew was not among them. As a precaution he had embarked on the Eureka s small tender, accompanied by Chief Mccarthy eff the Quebec police and ex- Chief Denis of the same city.
 All wore the garb of pilots and over his florid face Inspector Dew had pull. ed T pilot s visored cap to hide his rea, lures from the man he sought. He did not wish Dr. Grippen to recognize him before he could approach and take ad, vantage of the only avenue of escape suicide.
 Pilots Astonish Crippen.
 Four sailors quickly rowed the ten. der alongside the Montrose and Dew and his companions stepped aboard.
 GriPpen WAS standing near the raIl. talking with Dr. Stuart, the ship s sur, geon, and attempting to appear calm.
 But that he was nervous was indi- cated by his furtive glances and his remark to Dr. Stuart
 There are three pilots coming aboard, = he said neryously, is not that unusual!'
 The surgeon did not reply, but kept his eyes on the strangers who walked rauidfv toward them

II was, we are told, In 1900 that the

placed In the tower Of San Eustorgio.
In Milan.
The greatest establishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who ffocked to see the tlmepiece. In
1874 Il clock was installed In the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was

The period of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy-one
years-not so very long. all things con-
sidered-and the record Of the first
watch is 1880. A half century later
an alarm clock made Its appearance.
This. we are told, was looked upon
by the people Of that age as sun In

The fortunate possessor or this CLOCK
was Andrea Alciato. a councillor OF
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell at a stated hour. and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
automatically. HOY this was done we

ROADS IN CHINA.
They Are Narrow and Crooked and
Edqed With bitches.

The Chinese road Is. private prop
erty, strip taken from somebody's
land. This Is done much against the
will of the owner. since he not only
loses the use of 1t. but also still has to
pay taxes on 1t.
One consequence Is that 1t Is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows Off 1t gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile 1t
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows it
out, and thus has arisen the proverb
that a road thousand years old be-
comes river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge Of their
farms instead Of cutting across them.
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often so crooked
that one may have to go considerable
distance to reach a place that is In re-
ality but few miles away This al
ways interests the stranger.
