I don't know where this frolicsome engine has choaen to deposit us, but we must be at least 10 miles awjy from Northcliff."

"It is certainly a curi rn coincidence that you and I should be bound for the same house," began Mr. Merivale; "but it is still more curious to me that, often as I am down at the Grange, I liavo not heard your name mentioned before." "Tht is easily explained. I answered Miss Seymour's a Ivertisement for a companion, and sh? is kind enough to give me a tri il. We have not met," aid .lanetf simply. llv: companion turned quickly, and, in the half light, gave i swift, scrutinizing glance, HceompauiM by a smile, of wr-i h .Janetta found it hard to explain the meaning. It was half arnu.-ed and half incredulous. He made no sort of comment upon her explanation, but turned the conversation rapidly to other channels. "He knows all about tint eccentric old lady's advertisement." she thought. Mr. .Merivale chatte! away so agreeably on many topics and the ten miles' drivo passed so quickly that Janetta gave, a little start of astonishment when Mr. Merivale pointed with his whip to the twinkling lights of the little harbor, and told h : that they were within half a mil,' d their destination. It was quite dark ai they drove through the 1-obbb-d str-'ts it the little town; then, by a sharp as ent, they climbed the hill just outside it, and, turning into a drr.vgiv .set open to receive, them, drew up at the door of a long, low, irregularly built house. Mr. Merivale jiimp.'l t j the ground and threw the reins to the groom, gently lifting Janetta out of the cart. The next instant they w ne admitted by an extremely smart pa riot maid into tho low, oak-pannelb'd hill, where a log-firo blazed cheerily ou the hearth. A Iidy of between sixty and seventy, whose gown rustled a.s she moved, advanced to meet her. "Allow me to introduce Miss Howard," said Mr. Merivale CHAPTER III. Janetta's heart sank. The stem featuren or the lady to v!i)rn she was introduced scarcely relaxe! into a smile, and a cold hand held her own. "Come in. Miss Howard Your train must have been very late; we expected you more than an hour ago." "Thero was an accident. The train ! ran off the line, think, and we were landed, Mr. Merivale and I " "Captain Merivale." corrected listener. her Janetta glanced round quickly to see If Captain Merivale hail followed, and was listening to the correction; but be was nowhere to be sen. "We had not met before. I did not know that he was Captain Merivale by intuition; but he was very anxious that you should not be frightened on hs account, Mls.s Seymour. He told roe that you were not strong." A smile crossed the narrow face a mirthless smile. "I am not Miss Seymour. It is ima.ny years since any one troubled fclmself to consider my feelings. I am Urs. Mortimer, Miss Seymour's lady oaselceeper." : Until lately I believed ysel! also to be her companion; but

Ar ' ' . tv ( I'm dull, apparently, and getting old. I'm not enough for her. and I am to be , supplanted by you. Janetta stretched out her hands eagerly, appeal ingly, a great sorrow tilling her heart for the woman before her, with whom the world had evidently doalt so hardly. "Not supplanted," she said, "only supplemented. I don't know what Miss Seymour's wants may be, but let me help 3'ou any way I can. I don't care what 1 do. You can put me into the way of things, tell me my duties, and give me a hint when I make a mista ke." "You will have no duties," replied the elder woman coldly, looking- at the outstretched hands, but not taking them into her own. "You are young and good-looking; they are the only qualifications which Miss Seymour seems to require. She will see you. she says, after dinner. Shall I show you to your room?" Janetta followed her up the liiiek-ly-carpeted stairs into a room so luxuriously furnished that she could hardly believe that it was the one intended for her, except that her fur coat had been already cairied up there, with such other po-s:ions as she had with hr in the carriage. She found Mrs. Mortimer still alone when she went downstairs. "Captain Mrrivale- dines tonight with Miss Seymour in her boudoir," she explained as she led the way into the dining room. "Sometimes Miss Seymour is well enough to dine with us, but today she has been over-exciting herself, and was -o tired that I advised her remaining upstairs." Janetta would have liked to have asked a hundred questions about Miss Seymour, hut the presence of the parlormaid aim the forbidding manner of her companion made her curb her curiosity. They had saice;y returned to the drawing room before a message was delivered tj Janetta to demand her presence in .Miss Seymour's room. "You can show Mi?s Howard the way to your mistress' room. Mason." said Mrs. Mortimer. And Janetta followed the maid. She was ushered into a sitting room more peifeet in detail than any she had ever entered, it wa.s a general sense of beauty and luxury that strin k her at fiit. for iu-r attention centered itself at once ir,'on it only omipaiu. a fragile, fair little iady, quite young who lay upon the couch that was drawn near the ihe. She raised herself to a sitting posture, anil held out her hand with a smile of welcome. "I'm afraid you must come to me, Miss Howard, I'm too tired to get up to greet you. Sit down near me. will you? I sent Harry off to the smoking room, as I told him I wanted to talk to you alone for a bit." Janetta shook hands, seated herself in the easy chair to which Miss Seymour pointed, and wondered if she dreamed. This, then, was the Miss Seymour she had pictured as an eccentric old maid, devoted to poodles and parrots! Even her views about Captain Merivale needed readjusting. Clearly he was not a nephew with expectations! More probably a cousin, possibly a lover. The thoughts passed rapidly through her mind until, raising her eyes, she was conscious that she was being watched eagerly by her companion. There was something intensely attractive in the face that looked into her own. It must have been very pretty until ill-health and delicacy had written their lines on it. Even now the shape of it wa.s charming. The flaxen hair that waved on the forehead was abundant and beautifully dressed, the folds of white silk and soft-falling lace were becomingly arranged round tho tiny throat; but oh! how delicate she looked. Something of the pity that Janetta felt must have found expression in her face, for Miss Seymour broke the silence with petulant laugh. "You are sorry for me, like every one else I read it in your eyes; but I'm not going to die. I'm going to get. well, or all the doctors lie." "I devoutly hope you will, and quickly." replied Janftta gently; "and you must t'll me what I can do to help you. I'm sure I could carry you, you are so light and small." Miss Seymour broke into merry laughter. "I don't want you for hard labor. I wonder if you thought it was a lunatic who put that advertisement into the paper? Harry declared that nobody in her senses would answer It, but many did. "I had over two hundred answers, so many that I would not even open them all. I Iike your photo. I thought you were pretty and looked true, so I told Mrs. Mortimer to take your letter anl answer it, as If from me, and to ! return all the others. "It was Doctor Drake's suggestion the man you saw at. the train tonight. Harry tells me that he scented the accident from afar, and was on the scene almost directly it happened. He Is called clever, but he does not cure me. "Well, he found me crying one day, and he said I ought to have some one bright and young and good-tempered about me. You can't call Mrß. Morti mer any one of those things, can you?" Janetta did not answer; she felt that the remark was in bad taste. "I aha'n't like you if you look shocked every time I'm flippant. Where was I? So I advertised, half in fun and half In earnest, and of course Mrs. Mortimer is yery cross, although it won't make the smallest difference in her lot, except that she will have to give orders for another place to be laid at every meal. "She Is perfectly invaluable In her way housekeeper, chaperon, companion, everything rolled into one; but she Is occasionally depressing." "You will give me something to do?" said Janetta, when Miss Seymour came to a pause. "Not the things that Mrn. Mortimer has done for you, it might hurt her feelings."

"Oh. you will not have much to do. You will be cheerful when I'm iad. and kind when I'm cross; and 70U won't offer to read aloud unless I ask you, and you will talk when I want you to talk; and, above all things, you won't try palpably to amuse me. "Nothing bores me like that; and I do hope you can arrange flowers nicely. Mrs. Mortimer makes bouquets as round as pumpkins, and is so annoyed when I criticise. "I wonder," she said, with a rapid change of subject, "how you liked Captain Merivale? I'm engaged to him. you know, and he has come to stay here for a little bit before he goea out to India. He is ordered to the front." "He was very kind," replied Janetta. "I scarcely know how I would have got here without him." "We were engaged before I had tho fall from my horse which has made me what you see me," went on Miss Seymour, twisting her engagement ring round and round upon her finger. so that every diamond in it caught and 1 eilet ted the light in a thousand rainbow-colored hues. "It's hard luck that I lie here helpless like this, isn't it, when there is such a life of happiness before me? I'm going to get well, but it's long to wait. Now you can guess how much I shall need cheering when Harry goes abroad. He's very good to me, and declares he's never dull when ho comes; but you will try to make it more cheerful for him. If you wait a little while he'll be up again. "You will not need an introduction after that long drive in the dark. He was pleased with you, because he said you were the only woman in the accident who did not scream." Janetta laughed. "Terror does not take that form with me; it makes me feel incapable of uttering a sound. I expect I was just as frightened as any body else." "Well, at any rate, you kept it well under," said a voice behind her; and, looking round, Janetta saw that Captain Merivale had entered the room unperceived. (To be continued.)

WOMEN THRASH WHEATFour tit Them Itpat an Kqnal Naxil f Men at Tlirlr Own Work. "Yes. they certainly got through those hundred sheaves of wheat in mighty quick time," remarked Alvin l. WeMer. wno. with three assistants, was recently beaten in a wheat-thrash ing contest bv four women. 'And. he added, ruefully, "if I could only hire men who would work as the women did farming might be brought back to the good old times when it paid to engage in it." Mr. Weiler, who lives lU'ar Shancsi!le. Pa., was at work with Iiis men. say.s the Philadelphia Inquirer. Miss Laura Conrad. Miss Saliie Noll. Mrs. Alvin I). Weiler and Mrs. Hannah Weidner, after watching operations for awhile, remarked that rapidity did not seem to be much in evidence in their work. Mr. Weller said Le thought they were getting on very well, when one cf the women ventured the remark that they could beat the men at their own work. The challenge was accepted. It was agreed that Farmer Weiler and his assistants should thrash a hundred sheaves of wheat and the four women an equal number. The women began the contest and cleaned up their share in Teo-ord-breaking time. Miss- Noll and Mrs. Weiler fed the thrashing machine, while Miss Conrad and Mrs. Weidner operated the gasoline engine. Weiler and his men then took their turn at a hundred sheaves, but the women were easy victors. Mr. Weiler afterward remarked that their skill in keeping the thrashing machine just rightly filled with wheat was remarkable. PURE-FOOD LAW. Kentucky Text Show Fruit .felly Md Wholly of Clue. The General Assembly of Kentucky feently enacted a law providing for the inspection of food products sold in that state, and intrusted the work to the agricultural experiment station. The station submitted a report showing that fully 40 per cent of all samples of food taken were adulterated. Some of the adulterants used are in jurious- to health; others have been put in to cheapen articles of food. As examples of the former, the inspectors found so-called "fruit jellies" made wholly or in part of glue and artificial coloring and flaoring matters. They j found salicylic acid, sometimes in large quantities, in tomato catsups, preserves and other food products whic h wore sohl as pure, and formaldehyde ami other preservatives in milk, which perhaps in some cases was fed to infants. The most striking example of all is in the case of essence of peppermint and essence of cinnamon. These extracts contained wood alcohol, a poisonous substance, as one of the ingredients. In the preparation of these essences a mixture of wood alcohol and common alcohol was used In placo of common alcohol, presumably to avoid the government tax on alcohol. This condition of affairs is by no means confined to Kentucky. Kqually flagrant instances of adulteration ara reported in the publications of other stations engaged in the inspection of foods and from many other sources. Coat Frightened the Nrgroc.

There have been scores of others, nv.:e or whom have lived to see their tiHcriis blossom into facts. Mr. Yaiiifs idea possesses at least the virtue of novelty. lie claims that a screw, or "worm." propeller may be uli!i-!d f. ;- propuVio'i through the ether as it is commonly used in the dens-r element, water. 'I he apulieatioa of man-power by a hand and foot bu-oj- in the car of hia ingenious outfit to the balloon of "worm" form i- another striking feature. This is designed to apply by transmitting the power by aid of rope, or, preferably, a light linked steel chain, from the car to the balloon with a ratchet and spring at the point of contact. This force is then expended by revolving the balloon, which screws its way forward through th air. Hydrogen gas is utilized to sustain, the outfit in the air and to raiss It. This is designed for use because of Its great lifting power, although it la rather expensive. Hot air cannot readily bo used, because it would compel making the balloon very large, unwieldly and to work at a disadvantage. With hydrogen gas long flights can be made and the utility of the airship greatly enhanced. Mr. Valin, in describing from his model the ratchet and spring application to the axis of the balloon, sayi: "It will be very greatly to the adVantage, you will see. to employ ball bearings, which will save all possible loss of power in transmission, yet there will be a portion of loss of power then which it is impossible to overcome through friction. "If you make the balloon, or screw. few THK VALIN AIRSHIP, as you may call it, revolve 200 time3 ia a minute it would make the balloon, If forty feet long, go forward twenty feet for every turn. That is what a screw would do in a solid body. At 200 turns a minute it would go 2,000 feet, or about two-fifths of a mile, in one minute. Of course, out of that you hare got to deduct for the friction of the air." PUBLICITY A FORCE. Newspaper Comment on Action of West Point Cadets. The voluntary pledge of the West Point cadets to refrain from hazing and class fighting in future is a gratifying termination of the agitation revived by the World in connection with the death of ex-Cadet Booz. This action Is a distinct triumph for "publicity the greatest moral force in th universe." Through the publicity given to the cowardly and brutal practices at the military school the people have learned exactly what the hazing and bullying there mean, and the cadets have leirned what the country thinks of the custom and of those who follow it. As a result these practices are abandoned the class presidents realizing that "the deliberate judgment of the people should in a country Ilk ours be above all other considerations." It would have been better, from a disciplinary point of view, ! hazing had stopped as the result of & rule of the academy, rigorously enforced. But this has been found difficult, and the country will perhaps be just as well satisfied to see it given up voluntarily by the members of a school which, in spite of this blemish, has turncu out some of the l.;'st soldiers and finest characters that ever honored the profession of arms New York World. An Acresslrs I'reaeher-NSierifT. Rev. Samuel F. Pearson, the sheriff of Cumberland county. Me., is a man of strong individuality. He is a reformed drunkard, and in his early days reached a level of degradation from which since his conversion to abstinence he has done much to rescue others. He was probably the first man in Maine to vote the straight prohibition ticket. He voted it, indeed, if it be not paradoxical to say so, before there was a prohibition ticket in the field, by writing Neal Dow's name on a slip of paper. One of the election officers held it up and said: "This is Sam Pearson's vote; we'll count it scattering." And young Pearson answered with spirit: "We'll scatter it till the rum shops of Maine are closed." Mr. Pearson served with distinction in the civil war. After the war he settled in Portland. In 1872 he began his gospel mission work, and sinco that date he has held 8,229 services, conducted 357 funerals and 229 marriage ceremonies and, with Mrs. Pearson, has made 15,J47 Visits to the poor. In England ha secured over 100,000 pledges to temperance. He is an indefatigable worker and a man of tremendous energy. Victoria's CJreat I'rlme Ministers. Among the greatest premiers of Queen Victoria's reign were Gladstone, Disraeli, Peel, Palmerston, Russell and Derby. Derby, ralmerston and Disraoll attained their greatest distinction in the field of foreign relation, and it is to Dieraeli that the queen owed her title of Empress of India. Peel gave free trade to England and Russell a larger measure of political liberty. Among the achievements of Gladstone were the extensions of the franchise, the disestablishment of the Irish church, the abolition of purchase in the army and the reform of the Irish land law.

THE WORLD'S BEST KNOWN TRAIN.

The Empire State Express What It IJof Ouily and How It IK" It. "There is only one train in the country that exceeds fifty miles an hour in speed for 100 miles run. and that is the Empire State Express." Public Ledger, Philadelphia. The Ledger might have added that this great train averages fifty-three and one-third miles per hour for the entile distance from New York to Buffalo, 440 miles, including four stops and twenty-eight slow-downs; that it does this each business day of the year. The attention which the Empire State Express has attracted in every country of the world has proved one of the greatest advertisements for American machinery and American methods that has ever been put forth, and that the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company is entitled to the thanks of not only the entire state of New York, but of every person in the United States from one end of the land to the other for placing before the world an object lesson without an equal.
