"I repeat I ata 'aster, and Mrs. Pane must make terms with me, if she wishes to be spared the consequence of her cruel faithlessness." "Silence!" said Carrington, in a ring- ing tone of command, as he made a step towards hila, his eyes flashing fire, while Mrs. Fane's heart stood still with ter- ror. "Give me that note, or take. the consequences of refusal." "By what right do you demand it?" cried 1\Iorton. ",ere you, too----" "By the best right ---the right to pro- tect and uphold her. I am her husband. I am Clifford Fano. The name of Car- rington I have lately adopted, and am legally entitled to." "I suspect you aro an impostor. Do you admit thee? Do you recognize him?" to Mrs. Fane, who had sunk into a chair overwhelmed by this avowal. "I am not sure. I do not know," she faltered; "at all events, I accept his protection against you. I beg you will leave us." "And I undertake to prove my words," added Carrington. "You have heard Mrs. Fare's request. Do not compel me to enforoe it. Leave us; and remember; your character is in my hands." Morton hesitated, and darted a deadly glance at Mrs. Fane. "We shall meet again," he exclaimed to Carrington. "I fullyintend it," returned the other cooly, following him as he flung himself out of the room. Carrington closed the door carefully, and walked baok to the table, by which he stood in some embarrassment. Mrs. Fane had also risen, and leant against the chimney -piece, the folds of her bronze -green cloth and velvet travelling - dress vieibly moved by the beating of her heart. "Is he quite gone?" she said, almost in a whisper, as she put back the soft curls of her rich brown hair, that she might batter gaze with troubled frieghtened eyes at the man who claimed to be her husband. "Te., quite; he shall never cross your patch again'!" "And you; how am I to believe you." She eank into a chair, for she could hardly stand, and grasping the arm of her chair with one hand, she looked at him searchingly. "I don't know how to speak to you," he returned, " how to apologize for the sort of trick I have played upon you. From first to last we have been the vic- tims of unkind fata'! When I got into that railway carriage I recognized you the moment you spoke. I saw you did not know me and the temptation to make your acquaintance in a new character was irresistible. I had just assumed the name of Carrington, in compliance with the will of a friend who had bequeathed me all his fortune. I told my schema to Dalrymple, who heartily assisted me, and I succeeded in utterly losing my heart to my wife. I have dreaded un- speakably to reveal myself, and it has come most unexpectedly. I impore you .not to make any hasty decision. Yet do not fear my forcing myself upon you. What you think will be best for your own happiness, that I will agree to." "Your voice has always seemed famil- iar to me," said Mrs. Pane and her own trembled as rho 'spoke. "But I still ran hardly credit your aseertion. Give me some proof; tell me of some passage in my former unhappy life which may con- vince Ina" Carrington smiled. "One or two circumstances have dwelt in my memory, though you may have forgotten them. Do you remember a cer- tain ball on Twelfth Night at our neigh- bor's of Ripton Court, You wore a white lace dross, and while waiting for the car- riage I told you you ought to wear your sleeves shorter, and show a certain very pretty mole high up on your left arm. I was thinking the arms looked very graceful when you silenced me by saying scornfully euough that you had not yet lost your plebeian modesty, and could not rest satisfied." "I do remember," she exclaimed, col- oring vividly to the roots of her hair. "You must be Clifford" "I am," he said, coming nearer, "your very faulty, misguided husband. If you can forget and forgive, Gertrude, and lot me show you how fondly and pas- etonstely I can love, we may yet have many happy years. Your marvellously generous vetsion of your own side of our story thrilled me with shame for my- eolf and admiration for you. I urge no immediate decision, but give me some kind thought."

ELECTRIC INTERURBAN LINES CHANGING SOCIAL LIFE. tcriu fan service. The old Bay State is dotted with prosperous manufacturing towns. The interurban system grew out of a natural extension of the street car lines of the cities. There was a demand for connections of an intimate charac- ter between all these manufacturing con tres. A steam railroad could not afford to give frequent service with such short stops as would be necessary. Tho re salt is that to -day one may traverse tho State, east and west, north and south, from Boston to the Berkshires and from the Connecticut line to the shadow 01 the mountains, reaching every important population centre in the State, without touching the railroad where the cars are propelled by steam. In Pennsylvania the mining bection• the oil country and the rich agricultural valleys aro alike tapped by at least 1,600 miles of interurban roads. The lake shore in Ohio from Cleveland to Toledo is excellently served by the trolley, while from Indianapolis. Trait City and Country—People Live Closer Together, and Old Types and Phases of Rural Existence Disappear. (By Raymond, in Chicago Tribune.) An entirely new element has entered into the social, commercial, and even the political life of the country. I hay just finished a journey of 400 miles, com- pleted within two days, over the inter- urban trolley system of Illinois, and am prepared to testify to the extraordinary effect in the development of the country produced by the electric railroads from town to town. They are running luxuri• oue buffet chair cars, limited trains rush from city to city, express care, and, last of all, the trolley line sleeper, as I can testify, is an absolute success. There is something more in this build- ing up than a mere extension of street car service to the country. Country and city are being knitted together and the local and suburban transportation busi- ness seems destined to pass from the steam railroad to the trolley line with- in a short time. It may be many a year before the through lines of railroad are operated by electricity, but it will be but a short time until all the short lines business of the country is done on cars deriving their own motive power from a central power etation, often many miles away. No Longer an Experiment. So new has been the development of the futorurban system that there aro no eatiefactory figures to be furrfished as to its extent. Like the early days of set- tlement in America and particularly in the west, the interurban trolley system in every state where it has been given a fair trial far outsteps its historians. It has progres.ed beyond the experiMen- tal stage, but the mileage is increasing so rapidly and new systems are being de- veloped so constantly even the finaciers who are called upon for the money to build the lines can scarcely keep track of their investments. One huge system in Illinois already has in operation about 475 miles of track, with 105 miler under construction, and schemes for an extension of 100 miles more. New England is gridironed with in- terurban trolley lines and Ohio and In- diana have developed their systems to such an extent that after a few links in the chain are completed during next War it will bo possible to go from heeling, W. Va., by through trolley lino to Chicago and St. Louis. Small Towns Not Hurt. That the interurban trolley system rapidly develops the small cities along its lino without doing the slightest harm to the villages and small towns was once seriously disputed .but it is disputed no longer. The shopkeeper in a Small town at first saw ruin staring him in the face. He had the same foreboding when the rural free delivery was first being put into operation. The developing power of the interur- ban railroad Is only now becoming equal- ly manifest. The village merchant at first was startled at the possible com- petition of the great city stores. Then he found he could solve the problem by the use of the means of transportation which has brought the city competition home to him. All he had to do was to increase his stock, add to its variety, discard unsaleable types, and study modern styles. Dealing in goods by wholesale, the freight charges alone would insure him a good profit, while the individual customer would go to the city only 13o long as the city furnished better styles or smaller prices either in clothing or in kitchen utensils. The small cities of the State have been built up by the interurban railroad and the mer chants and bankers of cities like Dan villa, Champaign and Decatur are the first to acknowledge this fact. Do. Spiders Sleep? The question, "I)o spiders sloop at night?" 15 not easy to answer. 1 have made a caro• tul observation of the sleep 4f ante, end that could readily bo done by watching col- onies iu their artificial formteerles. It Ze almost uuposslble to deal with Warne In the sane Way. I would gnawer, bowover, in generale terms, that spiders slog, as all ant - mate do, and doubtless parts of the night are spent in slumber. Many spectra, however, prey on the nlgbt flying turrets and so must be awake in order to catch their prey. If you will watch the porch or outbuildings of your home 00 a summer evening you will be likely to see an orb weaving spider drop slowly down on a ,Ingle thread in the gathering dusk of the evening. From thls beginning a round web Will aeon be spun, and either hanging at the centre thereof or in aittle nest above end at one aide is the architect, with fore- feet clasping what we call the "trap line," and waiting for some nlgbt flying lusect to strike the snare. In this position erecters will somettmos watt for hours, and it is just le naa1bthat nap. They might easily t do tee hat atand a yet not lose tbelr game, for the agitation of the web would rouse the sleeper --and then it would run down the trap Itne and secure its prey. Some species of spiders do the chief part of their hunting at night, and there are some who chiefly hunt during the day, but as a rule these industrious animals Work both day and night,—From the St. Nicholas Magazine. Boon to the Farmers. At the same time there has been an extraordinary impetus given to the so- cial life of the farmer class of the coun- try. A boy can remain at home, do his work on the farm during the day, and yet take his girl to the theatre, or to a lecture, or a dance that night, and got home in time to do the chores in the morning at least. The farmers are com- ing oftener to the city. They find they can get city types of clothes as cheaply as they formerly could the antiquated garments which once distinguished the agriculturist. The gawky country boy and girl is disappearing so rapidly that there will soon be little material in that line left for the comic weeklies, because the type is being wiped out, by the interurban railroad. It is too early to determine exact re- sults, but it is, fair to presume that the loneliness of the farmer's wife is at an end, and if that be so the unfortunate percentage of suicides in the agricul- tural districts will surely decrease when a fawner can take his wife and children and Fri a few minutes be dropped at the nearest cross roads, or even at the vil- lage, or interior city which was visited only once in a season when the roads were good, and when the general farm team was not otherwise occupied. Bridging the Mississippi. There le more than usual significance in the fact that it has been found advan- tageous to build a great bridge across the Miesissippi river at St. Louis for the use of the Illinois interurban system. The passenger service is fully establish- ed in a dozen different states and the carnia a of express matter and light freight Is progressing with equal rapid- ity in every direction. Tho farmer learns too go to the city oftener, the city nler- t chan sends bis a y small packages by the trolley line to the country, and pertah- able fruits, vegetables milk, and dairy products are to -day vegetables, transported with greater success on the trolley line than by any suburban cervico the steam railroads cart furnish. Even coal and whiskey and similar heavy products are being handled on the electric lines, and though the day may be far distant when these roads twill bo anything more than feodere to the steam linos on ordinary bulk freight they are likely to have the monopoly of wayside transportation and come much nearer to the consumers than the railroads can ever hope to do.

Interesting relies of archeological value .have recently been unearthed in different parts of Britain, says the Sci- entific American. During the excava- tion of some sandpits at Crayford in Kent, a number of metal articles were found about four feet below the sur- face. Upon examination they were as- certained to be fashioned in solid gold, of massive and heavy design, and of very early origin. They were evidently amulets, for althougb they were oval in shape, spaces were left for the insertion of the ankle or arm. Judging from, the size of the ornaments and the orifices, they were apparently articles of femi- nine adornment. The intrinsic value of the metal is approximately $1,600, but from antique sad historical points of view their value is almost priceless. Tho relics aro in a perfect state of preservation, and aro inscribed with hieroglyphics which have not yet been deciphered. The period to which they belong is computed to bo far before the Christian era. It is believed that the spot at which they were dis- covered constituted a burial place of the ancient Britons, who were interred with their implements of war and per- sonal embellishments. This contention is substantiated by the fact that at the same place on several previous occasions various other articles of an early -date, consisting of flint and stone weapons, human bones and so forth. have been brought to light. The previous discoveries now repose the British Museum, to whieli the prevent articles will doubtless be pre - settled, since they are the property of the Crown.

There is a quaint tradition about how the belief in the man in the moon orig- inated that is worth retelling. Like so many of these beliefs, says The Washington Star, it began way back in Bible times, and in quite an- other dress. By many nations the old man is supposed to be the one who first made his appearance in the Book of Numbers (Chapter xv., verse 82.) Then he was found by the children of Israel gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. He was taken before Moses and con- demned to death. He was taken later outside the camp and stoned until he died. One would think that was punish- ment enough even for so awful a crime, but superstition took him in hand at that point and consigned him to the moon, where, with a bunch of sticks on his tired old back, he was destined to 'climb forever up the shining hill and never reach the top. The story goes that his faithful dogs were permitted to share his fate, and if you look carefully when the night is clear and dark you will see the pair toiling away upon their end- less climb. The fare of the old man also grew out of the old-time tradition, but the figures are quite plain if ono puts on the glasses of imagination. vu e. 00'5 "; r That 5tayRoofed.

A young man who got a clerkship in a downtown office was called back by his employer after the terms of service had been agreed upon, says the New York Sun, "There's ono thing I forgot to men- tion," said the employer. "When you come to work Monday morning bring a pair of carpet or felt slippers along. All tho clerks who come into direct commu- nication with me wear thein. I can't stand the sound of a footfall. In meet things I am not nervous, but the scrap- ing or squeaking of a heavy shoe upsets me so that I am fit for nothing the whole day long." Before leaving the office the young man observed that most of the other clerks were shod in soft -soled slippers, so, strange as the idea seemed, he, too, on the following Monday, joined the noiseless brigade.

There was difficulty in getting a jury that knew nothing about the facts of the case. The regular panel had been exhausted, and the s eoial venire had beer issued and was finally, returned, "Well, Mr, Long," asked the Judge, "have you at last secured a sufficient number of jurymen who know nothing about this case?"

So we're stili Canadians, whether vie live in Canada or not." For years there has been great loss from decay in shipping fresh fruits, both citrus and deciduous, from this State to Eaetorn markets. The railroads have seldom been able toet fruit trains through on schedule time, ans the necereary allowance for delay has compelled growers to pick their fruit before.it was fully ripe, to the toes of some of the flavor and also to the lose of some of the weight which the fruit would gain if left on the tree.

The evident roanody for that WAS to coot the fruit before shipment, says the San Francisco Chrontele, and ingenious mon got to work devising praotitabio methods of cool- ing the fruit to a proper temperature before starting the car. Tbic is accomplished ,by exhausting the air in a car or in a rem before loading, and replacing It with sir made cold by pausing ever tee. By the use of machinery the warmed air Is centlnually drawn out and repined by the cold air, the circulation being continuous.
