let ue: hope, to a better place. She had not
I o n able satisfactorily to explain her
right to certain properties abstracted from
Niles Jennings' lewel•drawer during her
ettortresidence with that lady, and traced,
through the medium of a pawnbroker, til
Iter own possession. When Mr. Simcoe,
who (at Martha's request) had uudertakee
o cotduct a private iuquiry into the
matter in person, took occasion to cross-
examine her, it unfortunately happened that
this good woman was in Liquor, and would
vouchsafenothing in the wav of informa-
tion, except a. monotonous chant, the bur-
den of which was, that she asked his par-
don, but knew her place, and hoped the
cat would spit in his face. Untouched by
the simplicity of this ballad, Mr. Sirneoe
would have summoned a policeman, but for
Martha's urgent supplication. " Only upon
one condition, my dear madam," said he,
"shall I forbear to do so—you must get rid
of this drunken thief within the hour."
Which was accordingly done, though her
departure almost broke her mistress's heart.
Her successor had two eyes which reeip-
oeated Mr. Murk's soft glances. As a
gentleman supporting himself on his own
means at a hotel, it was only natural that
his honourable addresses should be welcome
to her. But when he came to put the all-
important question : 'rJetnima-Jane, my
own dear love, to what address does your
missis write to her cousin?" she was unable
to gratify his curiosity. Though her edu•
cation hadnot been utterly neglected, she
could only read 'print ;' a running hand was
asundecipherable to her as ancient Cornish
(now only known to choughs). As for let-
ting dear Mr. Murk glance his eye over an
envelope, it had, unfortunately, become her
mistress's invariable custom to pocket her
letters as soon aro she had addressed them,
and to poet them herself.
The retreat that Mabel had chosen was
not, indeed likely to be discovered, so far
as faithful Martha Barr was concerned. She
could not understand the reasons which
made her cousin so solicitous to live re-
tired. To her sturdy common-sense, the
terror in which the young widow stood of
her step -son seemed, perhaps, ridiculous
and chimerical ; but she had no doubt of
its genaixeness. Mabel had appealed to her
on helralf of her helpless babe, to maintain
the secret of her hidin¢-place inviolate, and
henceforth the trust was sacred to her. She
desired greatly to consult the astute Mr.
Simcoe, and to demand from him that as-
sistance and protection which she knew well
he would be eager to afford; but she held
sends. Across the straahu was a wader
bridge, toed beside the bridge a cottage
at whose thew stood a fair lady with
child in her arms. These two figures
Martha haat era oat, before commit-
ting the rest of the ventre to the flames,
and they formed the toy of her life. Thanks
to the blessed wan, under which, it is ssid,
nothing is new, and yet that hasduno such

Mabel's lettere were all of •this homely
type, and would havo portrayed a life of
wholesome sunshine, but for the shadow of
one morbid fear.
At last cause a coumnunication of a very
different sort : no linked home news long
drawn out, but a few rapid Iines, that
breathed expectancy and hoped-for acticn ;
above all. in the greatness of its tidings, the
apprehension that hovered over all her sky
seemed almost to be scared away. "A mir-
•tele has happened, .Martha, dearest, or a
something that seems a miracle l I may
not now tell yon what it is, for the same
reason that I have so long kept silence ; but
I have good hope that, at no distant date, I
may tell you all, and that by word of
mouth. In the meantime, send me the
address of some honest lawyer—a man to
whom one can trust a secret of the
last importance. Mr. Simcoe will help;
you so far, I am well convinced, for',
the sake of old times. I scarcely
know what I write., Conceive that it has
become possible that the man we fear may
have good cause to disquiet us no longer—
that the way of life that looked so rough
may be smoothed for my tender boy, and
you will make allowance for anything I may
write. Do not, at all events, doubt my
sanity. Let me have your reply by return
of post. I shall not sleep till have got it
—till I have seen this lawyer. He must be
told nothing at present, Mn Simcoe w111
make an appointment for me with him at
the earliest date ; but he must not, of course,
mention my name. I am still cautious, you
see, although in such a transport. For
years, dear Martha, I have known nothing
bub Fear ; and now that Hope has come, I
scarce know how to entertain hire."
Martha Barr endeavoured to commit this
letter to memory, but falling in that feat,
and having burned the envelope, and cut off
the address, she took it straight to Maison
Tiddliwinks, and placed it in Mr. Simcoe's
own hands.
" The poor young lady must be mad,"
said that gentleman, when he had read it.
" No, no," said Martha : " somethinghas
greatly excited her, that is all."

SUB.TERRANEOUS LONDON(.
The New ruder -Around Ratlwav Which

The underground railway twit"eh passes
under the Thames from the ;icy u: Loudon
proper toSouth London represents an entire-
ly new departure iue l:,ng:d..h railway t out -
mu nictation. It differs front t!mother under-
ground lines, the Metropolitan ard Metro-
politan District railways, in the depth at
which it runs below the surface, iu the pro-
cess of :construction, and iub the ,rotor em-
ployedfor trains.
An ordinary tutdergraund road. beginsand
ends on the surface of sortie street. The
new City and South London Railway begins
and ends some fifty or sixty feet below the
-utf a ee of the street. The easiug of the
*.annals needed for the other subterranean
:nes in the British metropolis consists of
coneentrie rings of brickwork, often not less
ti -an two or three feet in thickness. The
new subway, on the otherlaa:id, is described
as a gi;*antie iron drain pipe, or rather two
drain pipes, ride by side, which have been
(thrust
AT SLAIN me=
for three utiles through a bed of solid clay, as
a scoop is thrust through a chem. The
scooping was done by a huge steel cylinder,
some 11 feet 6 iatebes.in diameter, and front
6 feet to 7 feet long. The cylinder is made
of plates au inch truck, whose snrfaee is WO,
fully smoothed 'inside and outside, and which
atone enol are sharpened to a cutting edge,
The cxeavation is made by aettingthe ey'lisa-
der against the face of the clay and settinghalf a dozen powerful hydraulicjolts to worir
behind it. As fast as the clay is dislodged
and tills inside the cyhnderit isshovelled up
and carried back ;and as soon as the cylinder
has been pushed forward a couple of feat of
cast-iron plates are bolted together length-
wise to form a complete ring. By a eouca-
ten ation of such rings the tunnel is formed.
So rapid was this prowsof construction that
at one time the contraactora, working simul-
taneously front six different points, aecemp-
Iiahed not leas then 1110 feet of tunnelling per
day. The spaces required for terminal anal
intermediate stations are lined with mato*
wort:, They are reached from the street
both by stairways and by elevatore. Emit
of thelatteris large coon a to convey at: one
trio 10(1 passengers, the maximum number
winch anyone trate will be alltawed to carry.
The emplo_emeat of electrie motors for tb°
propulsion et railway trains had Lithe - ,,
been tried only on a small scale intheV• .eel
Kingdom. The substitution of thief :o for
t STEAM LOt'O 1 O'rty r,
on the Laity and South London V s is, there-
tore,virtually a novelty to Er isluncn. The
track laid in the tunnel. is O; the 4 foot lie
inch gauge, the up line running through one
tube and the down lire through the either.
The sleepers are lair (without ltallast,direct-
ly upon the bottom of the tulle:, and the rail
itself is of little more than WI the normal
weight. Theeleetricetnginesweigh nlilyabout
10 tons as against the 40 or 50 tons of the
ordinary steam locomotive. They are a tppsblo
of working up to 100 horse power, and draw -
inn a train at,. speed of overMImile 3 an hour,
although tai miles is the iute•nehed average.
Of these motors the company own 14, emst-
ing $7,000 apiece, Each train will con ist
of three carriages, whose seats, as in our
horso cars, will run from end to end. As
with the trains on our elevated roads, an
attendant will ba stationed on each plat-
form whose duty it ia, when a train roaches
a station, to open the car doors, call out the
name of the station, .and threw open the
platform gates, which fold back against the
ends of the cava. There will be no distinc-
tion of classes, and no tickets will be sold.
The intending passenger will simply put
down four cents and pass througn:ttm'natile.
He can take either an up train ora mown
train, one platform being readied by a pas •
-
sage carried under the ether.
This new underground litre is, as we have
said, about three miles long, running from
the city end of London Bridge to, Stockwell,
on the Clapj,anr road, about a mile short of
Clapham Common. It lu:s cost $1,100,000
per mile. Assuming that expenses will con-
sume one-half of the eart,inps, the road will
need to earn $110,000 per mile per annum to
pay the sto-kholders five -per cent on their
investment- The sum named is five times
the earnings per mile of English railways
taken as a whole. But, of ce'urse, the Lon-
don local lines are the proper subjects of
comparison. The Metropolitan earns a90,-
600 per mile; the Metropolitan District$105-
000, and the North London, $200,000. Not
even the North Loudon has the advantage
of running for its whole length alenge route
as crowded with traffic as is the high road
from Clapham to the city- Twenty trains
an hour can be run, and it is confidently ex •
peered that in the morning and evening
hours, at all events, every tract will contain
its full complement of 100 passengers.
What is a Horse Power ?
When men first begin to become familiar
with the methods of measuring mechanical
power they often speculate on where the
breed of horses is to bo found that can keep
at work raising 33,000 pounds one foot per
minute, cr the equivalent, which is more
familiar to some mechanics, of raising 330
pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 34,000
pounds raised one foot per minute is called
one horse power, itis natural that people
should think the engineers who established
that unit of measurement based it on whir
horses could really do.
But the horse that can do this work
does not exist. The horse power unit was
established by James Watt about a century
ago, and the figures were fixed iu a, ourieus
way. Watt found that the average horse
of Ills district could raise 22,000 pounds one'
foot permitute. This, thea, was an actual
horse power.
At that time Watt was employed in the
manufacture cf engines, and customers were
so hard to find that allkinds of artificial in-
ducements were necessary to induce power
users to buy steam engines. As a method
of encouraging them, Watt offered to sell en-
gines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds to a
horse power. And thus he was the means
of giving a false unit to one' of the inost im-
portant measurements in the world.

FortheWonderfui Succuss
of Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the &'lost Popular and
Most Er,t°e iveiy Sold
Medicine in America.
Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses great
medicinal nitwit, which it positively
demonstrates when fairly tried.
It is most economical, being the
only medicine of which " foo
Doses One Dollar" can truly be said.
a"I It is prepared by a Combination,
a.1) Proportion and Process Peculiar to
Itself, unknown to other preparations,
and by which all the medicinal value of
the various ingredients is secured.
It effects remarkable cures where
other medicines have utterly failed
to do any good whatever.
It is a modern medicine, originated
10 by experienced pharmacists, and
still carefully prepared under their per-
sonal supervision.
a It is clean, clear and beautiful in
appearance, pleasant to take, and
always of equal strength.
7 It has proven itself to be positively
the best remedy for scrofula and all
blood disorders, and the best tonic for
that tired feeling, loss of appetite and
general debility.
p It is unequalled for curing dyspepsia,
O sick headache, biliousness, catarrh,
rheumatism and all diseases of the kid-
neys and liver.
9 It has a good name at home; there
being more of Hood's Sarsaparilla

than of all other sarsaparillas and blood
purifiers combined.
r Its advertising is unique, original,
honest, and thoroughly backed up
by the medicine itself.
A Point for You.
If you want a blood purifier or
strengthening medicine, you should get
the best. Ask for Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and insist upon having it. Do not let
any argument or persuasion influence
you to buy what you do not want. • Be

HE LAST VOYAGE.
Arrival of the Steamship Harlaw at Hali-
fax front Newfoundland.
HALIFAX, Jan. 14.—The S. S. Harlaw
has arrived, completing her last trip to
Newfoundland for the season. Capt. Far-
quhar reports very boisterous weather on
the Newfoundland coast. He left the chan-
nel on Sunday evening, called at St. Paul's
the following morning andlanded the mail.
He found all well on the island, Supt.
Campbell reports the gale of Saturday, Dec.
'27, as the severest for many years. One
of his boats was completely broken up. On
Tuesday, December 30, a severe,gale from the
north-east damaged the cable so that com-
munication by telephone was. cut off. The
break is supposed to be near the island,
where the cable passes over a ledge. Should
the water become smooth Mr. Campbell hopes
to be able to repair the break.
After leaving St. Paul's the Harlaw pro-
ceeded towards the Magdalen islands to try,
if possible, to bring away the crew of the
American schooner .Admiral, wrecked at
Bryon island, nine miles north of the Mag-
dalene. After steaming through large quan-
tities of ice the Harlaw succeeded in reach.
ing Amherst, were the wrecked were, and
after considerable delay and agood deal of
hard work caused by the. drift ice succeeded
in getting Captain Harding and his crew on
board. The Admiral was on a voyage from,.
the Bay of Islands to Gloucester with a car-
go of herring. The vessel and cargo were a
total loss. The island being completely sur-
rounded by ice, the men had given up all
hopes of a vessel being able to reach them
this winter. There was great rejoicing when
the Harlaw was seen steaming through the
ice. A good deal of credit's due Capt. Far-
quhar for the effort he made at this season
of the year, which, it believed, was never
before attempted.
