Inhabitants and over are now provid-

the Scientific American. AS to towns

regards the Danish stations In small
towns, in general each town has Its

ample of an intercommunal system.

But the sorely troubled father did not

But this Colonel Harris Would not I'd
nit. and SO the two men parted. Louisa's
father, thinking a great deal of his
friend. but still more of his daughter,
wanted above al things to have a final
talk with Luke.
Louisa In the meanwhile sat silent in
the corner of the cab.
h was trying to visualize this new
picture: Luke-a fugitive from JUS
tice!
The taxicab was making a slight de-
tour as Whitehall and the Mall were
closed for road repairs. The chauffeur
was driving round by st. Martins lane.
AT one Of the theaters there, a popular
play was filling the house night after
night with enthusiastic crowds. 1t was
only $50 now and in a long queue ex-
tending over 200 yards away from the
pit and gallery doors of the lucky play
house, patient rowds waited for the
evenings pleasure.
People were going to theaters, they
laughed at farces, and wept al TRACE
dies. Was there ever such a tragedy
enacted inside a theater, as now took
place in the life Of q commonplace man
and woman?
Luke-a fugitive from justice! Money
and influence could DO much! They
could enable a wealthy criminal to
escape the consequences of his own
crime! They could enable him to catch
express trains unmolested. to fly across
land and sea under cover of the night,
to become. Cain-nke, a wanderer on
the face of the earth without rest and
without peace.
Could they prevent him from seeing
ever present at his elbow the grim an
gel of remorse. holding in one hand the
glass wherein relentlessly flowed the
sands Of time. and in the other, the in
visible sword Of a retarded but none
the less sure vengeance? Could they
prevent his hearing the one word, Ne
mesis?
Luke-a fugitive from justice! Ac-
cused Of a crime which he did not COM
nit, self-convicted, almost self accused.
and fleeing from It's consequences as
he would from remorse!
And people went to theatres, and
laughed and cried. People ate and
danced and ang News vendors
shrieked their wares, the latest sensa-
tional news; the gentleman criminal
who had money and influence and with
their help evaded the grip of justice.

Luke was sitting at a desk, writing,
when LOUISE entered his room. Only
one lamp shaded with yellow silk hung
above the desk. throwing golden light
on paper and blotting pad and on the
hand which held the pen.
When Luke turned at the sound Of
the opening door his face remained in
deep shadow. He could not of course
see her distinctly, as her figure was
shouted against the light in the pas
sage behind her; that was no doubt the
reason why he did not rise to greet her
when h entered. but remained Gated

She had come forward into the room
and stood beside his desk, one hand
resting upon it, her face looking down
at the letter which he had not yet be-
gun to write. He still made no attempt
to rise, for now her face was in full
golden light, and he could see its every

Lukess nearest and dearest one on
earth; you must not add to his troubles

Wen all have to be brave-all of US

She was not accustomed to making
such long speeches, nor yet to preach
and to adnonish. Life, before now,
had never placed her in the necessity
of admonishing others; everybody
round her-the people with whom she
much as they should-in the proper
conventional worldly manner People
She had hitherto to do with, did not
give way to hysterical tears, nor had
they occasion to display fortitude in
h face OF an Overwhelming moral
shock.
Therefore Louisa was not sure if her
words would carry weight. or If they
would produce the effect she
desired. h gazed anxiously at Edie
whilst she spoke, looking with
hopeful yet fearful ayes in the por girls
face, wondering if she had succeeded
in calming the hysterical outburst.
Edie hung her head, wilfully yelling
her eyes beneath the dropping lids. She
twirled her gossamer handkerchief into
a tight wet ball and toyed with it nerv-
ously.
It's no much good,' she said at last,
In very low tones so that Louise had
some difficulty in hearing what she
SAID, my trying to be Sbrave-when

pushing the girl roughly away from her.

turning to the man in her distress, Il

demanded Louisa, placing her hand on
the girls shoulder, forcing her to turn
round and to face her.
Who running away?" queried Colo
mel Harris with a frown.
Luke" said Edie holly, "is running
away. He came home just now, and
calmly told me that he was going off
abroad tonight, and since then he has
been shut up in his room, packing his
things. l nave been all alone here all
