Burro Drivers Carry Candles. In Mexico all vehicles, be they hand cart, actomobile or anything between must carry a light at night. This rule or law is rigidly enforced. Even the drivers of the poor little burro or mule carts, on their two wheels, must carry a light. So, rather than buy lanterns which cost money, they take a dip candle, and wrapping it in a bit of newspaper to shield it from the wind carry it in their left hand as they drive along homeward from work after even ing has fallen. The effect is striking as the light falling strongly on the In dian driver throws the face of the man into strong relief against the darkness Modern Mexico. English Jurors' Remuneration. The scale of remuneration of English common jurymen is absurd. In a civil case in England a common juryman is allowed 5 shillings ($1.25) a day for ' view" that is. for inspecting any property or thing in dispute but otherwise he is. In law, not entitled to any re muneration. It Is usual, however, in the high court to give him a fee of 1 shilling and in the counties 8 pence Special jurymen receive much higher remuneration. The fee in the county court Is 1 shilling a case, In the may or's court 2 pence and in the London sheriff's court 4 pence. Chambers' Journal. Not Hopful.

A Locomotive Engineer's Yarn lOrizinaLJ "Speaking of railroad men's overwork," said the veteran locomotive engineer, "we were a good deal more overworked thirty years ago than you are now. The nearest I ever came to being killed was when I was a youngster just starting In as an engineer from running one night into a locomotive standing dead on the main track. The engineer and fireman of the engine we butted were so dead tired that they had gone to sleep there right where they were sure to obstruct the passage of trains. "But I had an experience once to beat that," he continued after biting off a chew. "It was when I was running the night express cn the R., D. and N. Usually I had all the rest I needed, but at the time of the accident at Tomkinsville everything was disarranged, and my sleep was cut considerably short. It was two days after the accident that my old friend Bob Williams told me he was ordered to the other end of the line to take the train that I met in the middle of the night. He was to run it regularly thereafter and was going down with me. He started in the cab with me, but at the first stop we made in about an hour he said he would go back into the baggage car, rig himself up some sort of a bunk and go to sleep. 1 told Frank Curtis, my stoker, that I wish ed Bob would offer to spell me at the throttle for awhile, as I was mighty sleepy. Frank said he wished somebody would spell him, for he was both sleepy and tired. "We made a midnight stop at B., and just as we were pulling out who should climb into the cab but Williams. With out a word he took the throttle out of my hand, and I understood that he proposed to take my place for awhile. The stoker was sitting on the cab seat pulling the bell, and, ordering him off, I took his place, while he went back into the tender and threw himself on the coal. I kept on pulling the bell, trying to keep awake, but it was no use. I went to sleep, though I thought I was awake, for I heard the bell and was conscious of ringing it. I suppose I was both asleep and awake, like soldiers are sometimes in battle when they've been marching and fighting for a long while without rest. There must have been some wakefulness In me or I couldn't have kept my narrow seat, for we were rattling along at express speed, and the road wasn't straight either. "now long I was In this condition I don't know, but a big lurch woke me up, and there on a semaphore ahead was 'the red.' Starting up, I looked over where Williams had been, and what do you suppose he wasn't there, nor any one else. The engine was tearing along like mad at its own sweet will through stations, over crossings and bridges, past sidetracked trains, and there was 'the red' staring us in the face. I jumped for the throttle and slowed down, then whistled down the brakes, for you must know that was before the day of the air brake. I glanced around for Frank and saw him laid out on the coal heap sound asleep." I yelled at him and woke him up. "Well, speak of a man's marrow freezing with horror. My whole body was frozen with horror. My teeth chattered, and I shivered all over. We were approaching N., and I knew that since I had given up my place to Bob we had run eighteen miles. How much of that time we had been without an engineer I didn't know, but I found out that if I hadn't been wakened up by the lurch just in time to catch sight of 'the red' we would have been telescoped into a 'passenger' standing on the track at the next station ahead. "But Bob Williams what could have happened to him? Something, or course, or he wouldn't have left his post. I could think of nothing unless he had become unconscious, fallen lo the floor and rolled at a lurch out of the cab. As soon as I got the train to a stop I told Frank to go back to find out if any one had seen or heard of him. Frank came back, with blank astonishment written all over his face, and reported that Williams was cuddled up on a pile of trunks in the baggage car sound asleep. "I was obliged to wait till signaled to go on and, leaving the cab, went back to the baggage car. Sure enough, there was Williams sleeping as peace fully as a newborn babe. "The first idea that came Into my head was that I had dreamed he had rome back and spelled me, but I knew that if I had fallen asleep without some one to take my place I would have done so at my post. Besides, there was Frank. He wouldn't Lave gone to sleep and dreamed the same dream as I. I was all balled up In a puzzle. I lost no time In waking Wil liams. 'Have you been running my en gine?' I asked. Tour engine? No. How could I?' 'Either you or your ghost came to me and took the throttle out of my hand. "He sat up, looking at me in a sort f dazed condition for awhile, then suddenly turned pale. 'What's the matter?' I asked. I wonder if I've been up to my old tricks.' he said, catching his breath. What old tricks?' 'Why, didn't you know I was a sleepwalker? I went back to my engine and took the train through, but I couldn't get my sleep the next day for the horrors and have hardly got over them when I tell the story to this day." RAYMOND GANNON.

"Though you have not honored me with your confidence, it may relieve you to hear that I have not the least desire to tamper with your loyalty to some lady unknown. I ask you to choose a wife not to marry her." "I don't understand you. sir," said Tom respectfully. "You will if you condescend to listen. The woman Fawcett says we shall re quire another servant here. I don't believe a word of it the ladies are bringing their own maid with them but this idle, impudent, ungrateful woman holds a pistol to my head ud threatens to desert me at this juncture if I don't get her a girl. I've had her here bullying me for the last half hour, and this is the hole tha I'm in either the Fawcetts leave this day month, when I shall want them most, or I must apply for a convict woman, and God knows what kind they'll send m. Now, if you applied for a wife you'd have your pick and choose a decent ne, and, as I say, there's no earthly reason why you should ever marry her." "Surely it would be unfair not to," objected Tom, who would have used a stronger adjective to anybody'else. "Unfair on the girl? Not at all. You simply let her off a blind bargain, and she gains good wages and a comfortable home. The girl comes out of it deuced well, the officials are none the wiser and none the worse, while I have the advantage of your selection instead of theirs." "I might make a bad choice" "Oh, if you want to keep out of it," cried Daintree, "keep out of it and refuse me the first favor I've ever asked you to do me! I shall know better than to ask another. Only in future let me hear less of your gratitude till, you've some to show." Tom consented without further words. He disliked the plan as cordially as he resented the outrageous tone adopted by Daintree, but he would submit to both sooner than deny the man to whom he owed more than' he could even yet realize. Meanwhile the necessary letters, in which the convict applied for a wife and the master undertook to support her, were written, the one with secret abhorrence, the other with a sinister gusto. Next day Tom received his order to the matron of" the factory to supply him with a wife and started in the early morning following on an errand which his whole soul repudiated. "l"ou are to take her back with you," said the woman, having read her letter, "and to be married from your master's house." Tom found Peggy O'Brien and selected her. By noon she was a comparatively free woman. Alas, she was an unutterably happy one! Her arm stole within Tom's as he drove. He had neither the courage nor the heart to tell her the truth outright. It was a cruel position for them both. He glanced with horror at her radiant face, and again he noticed her hair. "Where's it all gon to, Peggy?" he asked, pointing to the short strong locks. "What have you done with It?" They had reached the outskirts of Parramatta. New buildings were springing up In every direction, and Peggy jerked her head toward some scaffoldings. "Is it where me hair's gone?" she said, with a laugh. "Mebbe there's some of 't there." "Where, Peggy?" "In them new buildin's, like as not. An didn't ye hear they strengthen the moithar wid the hair of the women's heads? 'Tis thrue. then, In Parramatta. An' 'tis mighty kind they think themselves to give us the razor instid o the cat. But where's their bricks an' morthar if they bet us?" "They used that glorious hair for bricks an I mortar!" His praise of it was dearer far than her possession. She colored with pride and happiness as she told him it happened long ago when first she came there." "But why did it happen?" he asked indignantly. "What could you have done to deserve such treatment?" She hesitated and squeezed his arm. "Nat Sullivan came" "Nat Sullivan!" "an' I was to swear whether or not you were one of the bushrangers, so you may think what I swore, an he said I was a liar, an I struck m In the face wid me 'open hand, an they shaved me for that!" Tom felt miserable. She had suffered for him all along. How could he tell her he was deceiving her now and had no intention of marrying her at all? Not one word of that had passed her modest lips, yet the pressure of her homely hand was eloquent with love and joy. What could he do? What could he say? For miles he never opened his lips; they were tight shut when she glanced at him and his face so wretched that at last she could bear It no longer. "What Is it dear?" she asked him tenderly. "Is it how ye can make such as me your wedded wife? Because ye needn't. Tom dear, if ye think betther not. 'Twouldn't take all that to make me happy f Then in a burst he told her of his master's plan and how he had entered Into it against his own better judgment, because that master had plucked him from the jaws of death and from the gates, of hell, and how from the moment he saw Peggy his only thought was to do for her what his master had done for him. "My one idea," he said, "was to get you out of that horrible place. I give you my word I never thought of any-thing-else. But" Hr sweet eyes had fallen. There were tears on her lashes. Claire was dead to hira-so what else -mattered?

I hate such trickery; I'll have no hand in it. I applied for a wife and by the Lord I'll marry her, too If why" She had withdrawn her arm and was shaking her bent black head. CHAPTER XXVII. EPTEMBER finished on Its sweetest note, a mild breeze blowing off the south Pacific, a temperate sun in a spotless sky. a harbor fretted with waves like azure shells and winding among shores still green and wholesome from a winter's rains. It was Sunday, too, and round the woody headlands and across the dark blue inlets came the sound of bells for afternoon church. Tom lay on his back, his head beneath a Norfolk Island pine, his heels in the warm sand at the water's edge. His eyes were closed, but he was listening to the bells. He fancied the sound as 1-4,000 miles away, for so had he lain and listened amid the Suffolk rabbit warrens on summer Sundays when his place was in the cool, dark rectory pew. His spirit was in Suffolk now. Then the bells stopped. Then he lay very still, and when he turned he half expected his back to smart and his lees to Jinele. Once more he was a felon in a felon's country. It was that despite sun and waves and soft white sand, and felon was his name no less for this his unmerited ease. As he looked across the bay a black fin broke the blue and made an allegory with a single smudge. Even as those sweet waters teemed with sharks, so the fair land that locked them was rank and rotten with Intestine horror and cruelty and corruption. Fourteen thousand miles! The distance was brought home to Tom by being printed on the chart, beneath an Ideal course, in small type, which the little Rosamund was sailing over at that moment. It set him thinking of Claire, but the thoughts had no form and little sting. Not even yet could he think or feel acutely. A bundle of dead nerve3 and clouded brains, he could but ache and work or ache and bask as he WR3 doing now. An odd number of "The Pickwick Papers" had found its way to the bungalow and now lay In the sand beside Tom. He had finished It, to his sorrow, before the bells began. Presently up came Daintree with the dog that still followed him to every haunt but his study. He carried his camp stool and an armful of books, and Tom's heart sank, their taste in literature differing terribly, though of the two only one held himself qualified to judge. The judge glanced at the green cover in the sand much as he would have favored a mountebank at a fair, with insolent nostrils and a pitying eye for those who smiled. lie opened his Byron and read a canto of "Lara" aloud and admirably, but Tom nearly fell asleep and was accused of having no soul for poetry. "Or for anything else," Tom reminded the reader, who shut the book with an offended snap, but opened another next minute. "Perhaps," said Daintree, "you prefer this sort of thing. I shouldn't wonder." And he read: "Oh. that 'twere possible After long grief and pain To find the arms of my true lov Round me once again! "When I was wont to meet her In the silent woody places Of the land that gave me birth We stood tranced In long embraces Mixed with kisses sweeter, sweeter Than anything on earth. "A shadow flits before me Not thou, but like to thee. Ah, God, that it were possible For one short hour to eee The souls we loved, that they might tell us What and where they be!" Whe'n Daintree began, Tom's eyes had been swimming lazily about the bay, but the first quatrain brought them at a bound to the reader's face. and now he was hanging upon every word. Line after line rang through him like a trumpet call, waking old echoes, stirring and stabbing him, until the whole man tingled with the rushing of long stagnant blood. And now came stanzas that went no deeper than the ear, while those three ran their course through every vein. Yet when he next caught up the thread it was his own soul still speaking. The very story was now his own. "Alas for her that met me. That heard me softly call; Came glimmering through the laurels At the quiet evenfall In the grarden by the turrets Of the old manorial hall" He had turned his head. A blue mist hid the world, but through it shone a poignant vision of Claire Harding among the Winwood fir trees in the autumn evenings long ago. And this Is how the tears came baek Into Tom Eriebsen's eyes, to show him that his soul had lived through a night's bushranging and four months of Major Honeybone's Iron gang. Daintree looked on with a jealous scorn. That a few stray verses in the Annual Register should put fire and water in eyes which the combined "Hours of Exile" and of "Idleness" sometimes left-in such a very different state! It was a galling thought, and it showed itself in such black looks that Tom was constrained to cut' his first heartfelt outburst very short indeed. So he hastily added that the poem appealed to him partictilarly. He need not explain why. "I see," said Daintree. "Not altogether on Its merits, eh? I'm glad to hear 1L" And his face lightened a little. "I doat know," said Tom humblyr "It was onits merits, I think. Surely It must appeal to" every miserable man. OhJt's alLali thereia such, words i

ome, sir, Qoa t you vims, it nne yourself?" "Fine," said Daintree, "Is a word which the critic does not employ unadvisedly. Your fine poem is not spasmodic. It takes a meter and sticks to it as I do, for example, and as Byron did. You don't catch me or Byroa writing poems with no two stanzas alike in form No, Thomas, the verdict is not 'fine, but that the lines have a certain merit I don't deny." "Who wrote them?" asked Tom after a pause. "His name is Tennyson," replied the poet. "You have never heard it before, I dare say, and I shouldn't be surprised if vou were never to hear it

i again. There were fair things in his i last book. but. upon the- whole, I am ! afraid the production you so admire ; niay pe taken as representing nis niga water mark, which is a sufficient commentary upon the rest. I understand, however, that he is a very young man. so we must give him a chance. When he Is my age he may do very much better if Ce perseveres, as I have done. Now, my notion of treating such a ! theme," said Daintree. "you have h?ard ( before, but you shall hear it again." And with that he drew "Hours of ; Exile" from his pocket and read with j Ineffable unction one of the longest sets of "Stanzas to Clarinda," while the terrier gazed up at him with eyes of devoted sympathy and admiration, and Tom fed his upon feathery emeri aid branches and a turquoise sky as he : reluctantly deckled that the kindest of I men was in some respects the most ! egregious also. Suddenly to his horror the reading stopped. He had been caught not attending! He lowered his eyes, and they fell upon the snowy wings of a full rigged ship just clearing the woody eastern point of the bay and sailing slowly and majestically on. Both men sprang to the water's edge. Daintree's book lay In the sand. The ship was now clear of the point, standlug to the north of Shark island with the light breze upon her counter, a noble vessel of GOO tons, flying the red ensign at her peak. Not a word passed at the water's edge, but it was Tom who led the rush to the bungalow, who fetched Daintree's immense spyglass, with the flags of all nations let into the leather, and who bared the lenses before putting It In his master's shaking hands. "How many days are they out?" asked Daintree, aiming wildly with the glass. "Ninety-nine." "She could never do it!'' "It's been done before." "Oh, no no. This must be some other Ehlp.' Steady the glass for me. I can't get focus. There now! Yes, I see her people, but I can't read her name!" "Let me try, sir." "Here, . then. Tom tried and gave It up. "To Piper's point!" he cried. "She'll pass there much closer!" And again he led the way, with Daintree thundering close behind and the terrier bark-i".-' ' " - (To Be Continued.)
