there's no use worrying.s
Across the table from where she sat

furious little dining room on the yacht,
told MI. Mnshaw methodically laid his
coffee spoon IN the saucer beside his
cup, and looked up at her with his
slow, deliberate smile.
"My dear" he said, remember that
Tom is in the party. Unless they find
everything that, by the utmost stretch
of hope they could find he would in
lsist on keeping up the search as long
las the light lasted, and when the light
failed, there would be no more light to
come home by. Don't think of wor-
frying; don't Well hear nothing of
them for hours
1T won't be as long as that" she
predicted confidently. MY sky-man
will probably bring me news before

Old Mr. Fanshaw halted his coffee
cup half way to his lips, Your

stand" And then he laughed. But
his face grew suddenly serious, and
he looked intently, curiously, into
hers "My child" he cried; 1T can't
lbe that you are taking that dream Of
yours seriously. II l thought that, I
would have to believe that this queer
arctic climate was doing strange
things with those nimble wits Of
yours. A man alighting on the ice

that he had Just dropped in from Point

IT'S anything but joke" she said

ward the buffet, she spoke to Mr..
Fanshaw's big negro valet who was
serving their breakfast: Hand Mr..
Fanshaw that queer looking stick,
lSam, the one on the buffet. Why
why, what's the matter?" For she had
lifted her eyes to the mans face as

 The feasibility of train control de- vice and it's. practical application to the New York, New, Haven & Hart ford railroad, was the one matter of discussion at the hearing on the Saug- atuck wreck, before Coroner John J. Phelan yesterday afternoon. EVloence was submitted which tended to show that the railroad has not been willing to give an official test to a train con troi system that is said to have been recommended by the Interstate Com president of the Electrical Automatic Safety and Train Control Go, which is marketing the device, read letters indica ting what effort his company had made to interest the railroad in the device. He read extracts from the Interstate Commeesrce c9mmlssion; 9n1,ias Is practical and told of repeated efforts that were made to interest the rali- road to the extent that the road o11- cials give serious consideration or the system. ..
 Fred Lacroix, inventor of the device was on hand ito explain it's Workng- by Signal Engineer c. H. Morrison or the road. E.. G. Buckland, vice pres ident and attorney for the road' ana ana Coroner .Phelan- Maps, charts ana drawings were on hand with which to explain it. The road, through its signal engineer, put forth evidence that it was not ready to adopt the control system in question, because that system was not developed to per lection. and did not fill all the re- o1Iirements of an automatic stop. MT Morrison tried to show that the S oeo when the brakes are applled, that IL would not work when the train was running backward or when on 1aied q le5 that these were trivial objections.
 Attorney E. G. Buckland. attorney for the railroad, endeaVOred 10 snow that the Interstate Commerce com mission has not recommended the control system manufactured py the company, represented by the witness: He read reports and statements or The commission Witness contended that the reports were prepared peLOre the final or supplementary tests Ine supplementary tests were TeRorleo In III a suppIementary report, but there was no supplement to the introduction or the report The report in question was that of the Block Signal and Train Control Board made to the In terstate Comm cree Commission At torney for the railroad tried to show how there is as yet no safety device no question to his mind but what the control system he rep resents would apply the brakes of 9 train, no matter at what speed the train was going. He told of tests that were made on the Staten Island railroad, between Grassmere and railroad He said the government made tests lasting six weeks to two months, this first time resulted in finding a few defects out of 69o tests. After that there were other tests and no defects were found. These tests were attended by government inspectors.
 MT Lacroix is the inventor of the mechanism which makes up the con- trol system he and his company are furnishing other railroads with. He told how his device would make q train stop by having a third rail shoe

 An unexpected feature of the evening was the arrival, from the 21st District Senatorial convention, of Attorney Christian NJ Newman, the candidate of the convention. When he was in- troduced with an appropriate speech,
 he was given a reeeption that left no doubt Of the popularity of the action of the convention. Just prior to adjournment fornfer

The p1otters feel sure there will be trouble between Russia and Austria, ultimately, and believe they can overturn the Czar's government.
