sideration Of the Agricultural bill,
and to that part oft known as the
Weather Bureau. This bureau is
great on jobs, furnishing fat salaries
with little or no WORK for 1888 per-
sons, and the American farmers have
to cough up the sum Of 1888, 10000
to pay their salaries for the year Of

bill further next week.

POCKET DEVICE
SUBSTITUTE FOR A

When he is without tripod or

amateur photographer often expert
ences difficulty in finding means
of holding a camera while making a

this and also do away with the trou-
BILE of carrying a tripod. New York
inventor has designed a folding de-
vice, small enough to be slipped into
a vest pocket, which may be secured
to tree or some other convenient
object, to support camera. 1t has
two harp prongs which, when pres

BRITISH PRODUCE STARTER
FOR AERIAL MOTORS

One of the most interesting devel-
opments that has been made recent
ly In improving aeroplane equipment
has been announced in England,
where an apparently practical self
starter for aerial motors has been
constructed. The Importance of this
invention, especially from the stand
point of the military fiier, is most
obvious. The utter necessity for
reasonable compactness and light
ness in such mechanism has been
the principal stumbling block to be
overcome In meeting aeronautical re-
quirements. The device complete
weighs only 81 pounds and is capa-
BILE of turning over 80 horsepower
motor continuously for two minutes
at a speed of so revolutions a min

CHAPTER xxxII.
LIaht Engine.

Toward the close of that summers
day 1t was the whim of that arch-man-
ager of theatricals whom men call
Fate to stage an anticlimax in the
midst Of vast and hilly expanse OF
desolate middle western country-a
rude and rugged disk of earth which
boosted no human tenancy within a
circle OF its far-fung horizon and was
bisected. not neatly, rather irregular
ly, by the flowing double line of steel
ribbons which marked the railroads
right of way over the old Santa Fe
trail.
So much for the stage: the light eff
fects were provided exclusively by the
crimson and purple and gold Of por-
ployed were simply special train and
what is known as light engine.
II was the engineer of the special
who started the trouble. After bring
ing his monster to a full pause, he
turned upon his passengers and-not
without plausible excuse-violently in
dicted Mr.. Alan Law for abuse OF his
and his fireman's trustfulness.
They had been engaged, both gentle
men asserted vigorously, for nothing
more dangerous than a quick run
across the prairies, In furtherance of
the unspecified plans of Mr.. Alan Law
and his companion, Miss Judith Urine.
After starting out. they had wickedly
and maliciously been bribed by the
said Law to put on speed and catch up
with the special, in order that he might
rescue from the latter a young woman,
his bride-to-be and the sister of Miss
Urine.
But-and here was the grievance
they hadn't bargained to be shot at
with pistols. And precisely that out
rage had been put upon them during
and subsequent to the moment of res
cue.
1t was unhappy Mr.. Barcus who pre-
cipitated the affair. This gentleman

Alan standing his watch on thu obser-
walton platform. In company with
Rose: and the train booming along
through an uncouth wilderness of arid
mountains, barren mesas, and sun
smitten fats given over to the desolate
genius ofsagebrush.
Whatever had been the tenor of the
communication between father and
daughter, Judith eventually emerged
from the drawing room In an ominous
temper. Barcus, coming drowsily
away from his compartment at the
same time, was Jared wide awake by
sight OF the foreboding countenance
she wore; and after a moment of doubt
Followed her back to the lounge at the
rear OF the car.
He got there in time to see her at
rigid standstill, staring steadfastly at
the two figures SO close together on
the observation platform. But on
his appearance Judith shook herself
together snatched up a magazine, and
plunged wrathfully into an easy chair,
burying her nose between the pages OF
the publication with every indication
or deep interest in its text.
Mr. Barcus, however, had learned
the lesson Of bitter experience to the
effect that the outward bearing of
Miss Judith Urine was no sure index
to her inward humor-unless, that is,
IL might be taken to indicate the d.
rect contrary OF its, semblance;
though even this was no reliable rule.
reminding himself Of this, he there
fore invented a morbid interest in an
other magazine-round the edge of
which he kept wary eye upon the
young woman.
For all her evaporation, Judith con-
tanned herself longer than might have
been expected. Her continued show
or placidity, indeed, lulled Barcus into
dangerous feeling OF security. Per-
suaded that she meant to behave. he
gradually ceased to watch her as mar
rowly as at first, and lost himself In a
morose reverie whose subject was the
seemingly permanent mourning into
which he had plunged his face and
hands for the purposes OF his mas
Misunderstanding them a shade OF
ebony upon which soap and water and
scrubbing had no effect whatever. And
he had invented a most excruciating
method OF revenging himself upon the
druggist who had taken advantage Of
his confidence and sold him the in
eradiable dye-when he was reused by

freight, laboring up a steep grade, en-
abled her TO catch a glimpse Of head
light. followed by string OF lighted
windows, indicating a single car: the
special, beyond a doubt.
Without hesitation, since the train
was not running at speed, she dropped
out to the ballast, wheeled smartly
about, caught the handbar at the end
OF the box car as it passed and swung
herself up between it and the caboose.
A trife later the freight gained the
summit of the grade and began to run
more smoothly.
Climbing to the top OF the box car
she peered keenly through the gloam
ing, which was not yet SO dense that
she might not discern two heads pro-

For once, in a way, Il fell out pre-.
cisely as Mr.. Law had planned and
prayed.
Constrained to pull up In order to re-
move the obstruction from the track,

down its collective wrath on being pre-
scented with a sum OF money. In the

couple pursued by an unreasoningly
vindictive parent; and had its hopes
rewarded by the price Alan bargained
to pay In exchange for exclusive use
OF the caboose as far as the next town.
So that II was not more than ten
minutes before Rose was settled TO
rest In such comfort as the caboose af-
forded, while Alan and Barcus sat
within its doorway and smoked.
