The Revival Of River TRAFFIC.

| All along the upper river come ex-
pressions of qualification that the Dia-
mond 10 steamboat property has pass
ed into the hands of a master who will
operate the boats which in by-gone
years made the upper Mississippi IA
nous. Time was within the memory
OF present-day people when a Diamond
10 packer kept almost as close 70 the
schedule as a railroad train. In those
good old times of a quarter of a cen
fury or so ago. when Captain John Kill
leen was in his prime, there was not
2 ship on the inland sea that could
outrun one of Killeen's feet It was
the dash and spirit that he put into
the line of which he was the directing
head that finally drove the old St
Louis and ST. Paul Packet company 10
the bank and gave 10 the 10 line SUI
premacy on the father Of waters. A
more practical, more successful steam
boat man. a more gallant skipper never
trod a deck than KilIeen. Known and
loved in every port, the story of his
life from deckhand 10 master and su-
perintendent is interviewer with the
IO4Ad4ltc anu Tragedy, the sentiment
and legend. the history and fiction of
the upper Mississippi
OF late years the Diamond 10 line
has not been so successfully operated
as in former days The boats did not
take advantage of the full season os
navigation. They were capably man
ned and always in first class shape.
but for reasons best known TO the
company they were permitted 10 run
but short part of he open season
and then were called into harbor and
dismantled for another year.
With the advent of Captain Streck-
fus as a commander OF water trans
portatiOn facilities of a general nature.
there is a promised return 10 the
old customs. with the innovation
OF modern improvements. The
big packets will ply the stream from
the time it is possible 70 get them out
and they will continue TO operate I'M
Ill the first severe warnings of winte-
drive them 10 shore. They will tray
erse the upper Mississippi in the sum
mer and the lower river in the winter.
The coming Of Captain Streckfus .
the directing genius Of a big packet
line means the revival of upper Mis-
sissippi traffic, and OF that we are all
g,ad.

only knew that she had gone away
some time before she did not return
during my stay at Tula. and | could
not ind out anything about her. All
that concerned her must have been
very secret. for no one seemed 10 be
aware that anything unusual had hap
pcned
But while was at home news came
that startled the community. IL was
that Anna had been found in her car
rage after coming from n ball at the
Winter palace with IL dagger driven up
10 the hilt IN her heart.
All that was known as to whom the
assassin might have been was that
the coachman heard the door of the
carriage close. Presently he heard
IT close again. But whether any one
got in for the purpose OF committing
the deed he did not know. He had
not seen any one enter or leave the
carriage. The deed was the mystery
OF its time at the capital Upon
my return 10 st. Petersburg / asked
an officer of police with whom ] was
acquainted about Il. and he told me
in confidence that Anna was paid
spy in the service Of the government.
and II was supposed that she had
been assassinated by Il relative or
friend of some one she had betrayed.
The assassin was never discovered.
The next time I went home | called
upon Lisa. She had known through
Nicholas that | s.Tmpathlzcd with him
and with her. and she showed her APP
probation OF my interest In them. But
! found her very much changed. She
was not twenty yet she looked thirty,
with an oldish look at that ! refrain-
ed as much as | could from speaking
of the unpleasant features of her love
and neither Of US spoke OF the death
of Anna AiexandrovnG. Lisa seemed
buoyed up by n hope that she would
before long be reunited with her lover.
but she gave me no reason for her eX-
pectation.
Two years after this I received a
letter from Nicholas postmarked the
United States OF America. It told me
that Lisa by the death Of n relative
had come into possession OF a valua-
bic estate. She had turned It into
cash. gone to Siberia. bribed his jail
ers and effected his escape. They had
gone around northward\ by sea and
shipped from England for America
They were living happily on a farm In
North Dakota raising wheat.
The closing paragraph Of the letter
interested me greatly. II referred TO
the punishment that had been metod

heart | could not but admit that in

with these words:

food for thought during the rest Of the
