At luncheon Lidgerwood was made
known to the other members of the
private car party. The white haired
old man who had been doing in his
chair was Judge Holcombe, Van Lewis
uncle and the father of the prettier of
the two young women who had been
entertaining Jefferis, the curly headed
cOllegian Jefferis laughingly dis
claimed relationship with anybody.
But Miss Carolyn Doty, the less pref
ty but more laxative of the two
young women, confessed that she was
a cousin twice removed of Mrs.
Brewster.
Quite naturally Lidgerwood sought
to pair the younger people when the
table gathering was complete and was
not entirely certain Of his prefiguring
Eleanor Brewster and Van Lew sat
together and were apparently absorb
ed in each other to the exclusion Of
all things extraneous. Jefferis had
Miss Doty for a companion. and the
affection of her well balanced tongue
seemed to affect neither his appetite
nor his enjoyment of what the young
woman had to say.
Miriam Holcombe had fallen to Lid
gerwOOd's lot, and ut first he thought
that her silence was due to the fact
that young Jefferis had got upon the
wrong side Of the table. But after she
began to talk he changed his mind.
Tell me about the wrecked train
we passed a little while ago. Mr.. Lid
gerwood." she began, almost abruptly.
"Was any one killed"
"No. 1t was a freight and the crew
escaped, 1t was a rather narrow eS-
cape, though, for the engineer and
fireman"
eve saw you go down to speak TO
two of your men. one who wore his
hat pulled down over his eyes and
made dreadful faces at you as he
talked
"That was McCloskey, our trainmas-
ter" he cut in.
"And the other?"
"Was wrecking boss No. 2" he told
her, my latest apprentice and a very
promising young subject. This was
his first time out under my admins
tration. and he put McCloskey and me
ont Of the running at once"
"What did he do?" she asked He
saw usefulness in her eyes and won
dered at it.
81 couldn't explain it without being
unpardonably technical But perhaps
n can hest he summed M in saving
that he is a fine mechanical engineer,
with the added gift Of knowing how TO
handle men"
You are generous, Mr. Lidgerwood,
toto a subordinate. He ought to be
very loyal to you
"He is. And | don't think Of him as
a subordinate. am glad to be able
to call him my friend. Miss HoIcombe "
"His college, Mr.. Lidgerwood do you
chance to know where he was gradual
ed?"
At another moment Lidgerwood migt
have wondered at the young WON
ans persistence. but now Benson's
story of Dawson's terrible misfortune
was crowding all purely speculative
thoughts out Of his mind
HE took his engineering course in
Carnegie. but believe he did not stay
through the four years" he said g--ve-
ly.

HUNT FOR FLORAL TREASURES
Army of Collectors Always at Work in All Corners of Earth Seek
 ing Specimens.

Many well-known plants have been developed from specimens dis covered in various parts of the world, and there is no doubt that number of charming novelties are still turk ing undiscovered in remote spots. The chances of valuable finds are, however, becoming unfortunately less every year. A small army of collectors is always at work In ev- cry corner of the world searching for new treasures to enrich our floral store.
 From South America came, many years ago, the recently unfashionable fuchsia; from the hills of northern India and Tibet have been brought many useful varieties; from China we have had, among other things, many new primulas; Japan has yielded wonderful rises; Africa many varied plants usually of most brilliant and gorgeous coloring; while numerous charming members of the narcissus family have been discovered in the Pyrenees.
 But this cannot continue indef- nitely, and even in the realm of or chids, for which, perhaps, the most systematic search of all is made, there is not much left to be explored. For our future novelties we shall have to rely, then, chiefly on the skill of our hybridists, who are constantly engaged in mating different species of the same family of plants, and our cross-fertilizers, who are doing similar work with different varieties of the same species.-The Strand.

DEADLY VAPOR.

The explosion of vessels carryin petroleum frequently occurs, al, this is generally caused not by tlC cargoes of oil which they contain but by tine infammable vapor which is left behind after the huge tanks of the ships have been amptied. It is difficult to remove all the oil that adheres to the sides of the tank. and the evaporation of the oily film left in them after they have been pumped out takes place with great rapidity. A spark may thus cause a fearful explosion in the hold of a ship that is apparently empty Harper's Weekly.

BROUGHT WRONG MESSAGE
Vegetarian Gospel of Bearer of Good Tidlnes Is Refuted by Can
 nlbal Chief.

Dark looks greeted the missionary. The inhabitants of the cannibal isle were a shade blacker than jet, to start with, and dyspepsia had cloud- ed their faces still more.
 "The trouble with you all" said the bearer of good tidings, ''is that you live on a meat diet. If you would eat vegetables, cereals and fruits for a spell you would become civilized and happy and devote your days to piety and good works. It is the fermentation of your animal food that causes you to be so short tempered, so warlike and so miser- able.
 ''That is what all the missionaries say" replied the cannibal chief, "but fruit and green stuff are beyond our reach. Our 1910 census shows that the average wage earner on this island makes only SIS a day, and you know yourself what the overpro- duction of gold has done to the pur- chasing power of money. If you have no messages to leave, the cxecu- tioner will do his duty, after which dinner will be served in the big tent"
