No. 90. With great gasp of relief, Jane knew that she had escaped. Safe under the bags in the farmers wagon, Mortimer would no more think of looking there for her than he would look up in the sky and expect to see her flying toward him. The driver had no idea that he had acquired a passenger during that
 mad crash into the bushes as he tried to get out of the way of the car that wanted to pass. She was safe! And on top of the fear of discovery and capture, that had missed her by such close margin, the girl burst into a fit of hys- terical weeping, though even in her ner- vous excitement she was careful to press
 a rough cold of sacking close over her mouth.

 Jane, straining her ears, heard the grind

 seat, shouting at his horses. Would he
 wish to become mixed up in the strange
 affair in which she herself had become tangled? Jane thought not, and adjust

 The Florence Sheffield on and Gas Company, which have had their drills at work near Iron City, Tenn. about 20 miles north of this city, report that gas was struck on the 18th day after the work began at a depth of $40 feet. It isesti- mated that the supply will be approxi- mately 100000 feet per day. It is stated that the output of this well has already been contracted for a period of five years to manufacturing and iron interests at Iron City.
 The same company is preparing to drilt in the eastern section of this city, and the promoters of the enterprise are en- couraged ina smuch as gas has just been struck in nearby territory. It is the belief of the members of the company that in this section lies the largest un- broken gas field in the country. o. c.

Mexican View of Intervention

From The Christian Herald.
 Agitation for intervention in Mexico by the United States. Is greatly de- plored by the American missionaries and native Protestant ministers, one of whom writes:
 Intervention in Mexico by the United States would mean the destruc- ton of all American mission work For many years past the Mexican Pro- testant ministers have been accused of being bought with Yankee gold. We have, however swallowed our pride and continued in the employ of Ameri- can mission boards. because we be- lived these boards were representa- tives of the best Christian spirit, and were trying to give to Mexico the pure

The first public performance on a piano was at Convent Gardens. London, 152 years ago. The invention of the in- strument is credited to Cristifalli, an Italian; J. c. Schroter. a German, and Marius, Frenchman. The first crude pianofortes were made early in the eighteenth century, but for many years they received no serious onsidera tion from musicians. Johannes Bump a German, established the first piano factory in England, and it was he who built the instrument that was used in Convent Garden.
