The young ma,n looked a tri'le startled as he beard this; then he darted a :tack, searching glance at Florence, who, catching it, xeturned it with one or defiance ; where- upon a malicious smile curled the bartmet's lips for a momorit, and presently he slipped from the roue Teo minutes later a, groom was on life way to :Worthing, with a collide Of tnessagea, which were to be Wired to London with al: paoitle despatch.

Besides this, he had planned a grand coup de grace for the mor- row, and ed.; head Was full of -Mat.

Merrill tells me that .elie fell in love with Car- rel, and he with her, during the Volt- age over. Ha! Ha! what 'irony of fate!" he chuckled, maliciously. "Pet witth that important paper in emy possession, and my three wit- nesses to swear to that marriage, I need have no fears of a rival, and Miss Florence wj1l find herself cruelly hampered for fife." And teeth hl mind full et these malicious thoughts and plans for revenge, lie finally dropped into an litmus' slumber as his clock chimed the hour of three. The morning broke clear and bril- liant—a perfect day, with not a sign to indicate anything of the excit- ing events that were drawing on apace.

"It is residue from the petrolethu ethepany's wells in Bor- neo. The total consumption of this li- quid fuel by the Royal' Packet Com- pany's' steamers was 1,700 tons and 10.- 600 tons of 1002 and 1903, respectively, with an estimated consumption for 1904 o'f 20,000 tons. The company has ' eon - treated for a supply for the rears 1905 to 1907- with the Asiatic Petroleum Com- pany to the extent of 32,000 tons per year. The ton is calculated' at about 205 gallons. The fuel sells at about $7.60 per ton, but it is understood no such' price is paid by the Royal Packet Company when, connecting for large quantitiee. At the present title there are seventeen of the company's steamers tieing liquid fuel, and it is found much more economical than coal, better for the boilers, cleaner in every way, and fewer men are required to work the fur- nnceS. ' "Credit is dee thceuperintendent engi- neer of the Royal Packet Company, for inventing a system of injecting the liquid fuel.into the furnaces of the steam boil- ers. The fuel is brought under a pres- sure of froth- ten; to twenty pounds to the Addere inch, and evaporated without use of steam. ' This apparatus works Very• satisfactorily, without • noise and without the loss of. fresh water. For: inerly the liquid fuel was injected into the furnaces by means of a Steam jet, making very much noise; a great incon- venience, annoying to the passengers, and causing the loss of much freah wa- ter in the form of steam. A suitable furnace arraugement guarantees proper and perfect burning of the fuel, so that very little smoke escapes from the Ne- ne], steam is kept regularly at :the Sante pressure during the -voyage, and the boiler is kept at a uniform temperature, thus preventing much trouble from leak- age and other damage. Liquid fuel was first used by the Royal Packet Company in 1898, and as it has been found satis- factory, all new ships built in the Neth- erlands have been furnished with proper boilers for the use of the fuel, n,ncl, many of the older boats have lical the neces- sary change made here. It is, therefore, only a question, of time when all the steamers o'f the company will use liquid fuel." . t Putting Chatity to the *Usual Use.. (Clevehnd Leader.)

Dirners are hurried through in order that the party may the sooner engage in gambling, and some of the women are noted as the Slia.noeSh and most grasping of gamblers. Gambs ling made fashionable among women is a rather serious maater. It is bad enough among men, but when the mania extends, to women, who aro held tighter in its graep, the moralist has special reason to fear the consequences.
