the ex-king could not be found, and, g%runnbling, Fer

as the full moon swung into the sky.
"Be quick" she whispered in frantic appeal, and
hid herself within the shadows OF the Makololo huts.
Later Bottlejohn was squatting over his enemy,
smoking dacha in a short cob pipe, coughing the acrid
clouds out of his lungs, winking his bleary eyes, gloat-

he began to shave off Ferreira's hair and beard.
A scream Of agony rang through the village. They

axes. They saw a crouching figure dart from their

bleeding face, a thing came out into the space OF clear
moonlight in the centre of the kraal. 1t was a man, a

naked and CHASTITY white, that rocked and threshsd

Safety Railroad Grade Crossings" is the title Of
the pacard Immediately beneath the title is the fol-
lowing excerpt from letter by Samuel Rea pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Philadelphia newspaper:
"The railroads only too happy to remove all
grade crossings to equip every mile OF track with
automatic block signals, to make every of all steel
construction, but to do these things is utterly mpos
sble without the with which to pay for them.
Then follows this recital Of what the Pennsylvania
railroad system has done There remain the H..
900 miles OF line comprising the Pennsylvania system
1902 crossings at grade II costs average of At
least $4,000 to grade crossing. Thus. 20
eliminate every such crossing the lines OF this
system would cost upwards Of s60o0OoO0O The
ous companies Of this system have since 1902 expend
ed $6664i294 in improvements resulting in the elm
nation tf 1,O52 grade crossings"
The companys appeal 10 the public is follows
Grade crossings are unavoidable Without them few
railroads could have been built in this country They
are one Of the inconveniences Of progress be emi
mated just fast as possible Railroad officers are
doing their best. but il all takes time and money
Meanwhile, the public demands that trains he run on

railroad appeals TO the driver of every vehicle and
every pedestrian before crossing a railroad track 10
Stop Look Listen. little care and momentary
stop may mean the saving Of human life. Human
lives arc the most precious things in the word"
That Is an exceedingly sensible pacard for the COM
psny 10 place before the public u applies with equal
force to all railroads. There s perhaps no railroad
head who would not like President Pea. be glad TO
eliminate all grade crossings. In practically all gen
eral instances the great the work and the lack
Of fund applicable purposes alone prevent H.
Under the circumstances the railroads have right to
look to the public 10 exercise reasonable degree OF
