Oh, we just are poor!"
"Poor," she repeats, in a very low
voice. "1 wish—"
"What?" asks Hai.
"That I was. How happy you must

He stares and bursts into one of his
short, hearty laughs.
"It's plain you haven't lived in Eng- "

is the worst of crimes. Well, if to be
poor is to be happy, I ought to be the

"Poor -and free," she says, and over
the childish face comes a great wistful-

says Hal, "that's the great
fault with the Bertrams, excepting •
Jeanne. Bat we try to console ourselves
with the fact alit we come of 'good
stock.' That goes for something -but
very little."
While he is talking she looks at him
with a.etrrave regard. Then she slowly
takes off the glove of her right hand and
puts it on again, lost in pensive medita-
tion.
Suddenly she jumps up.
"I must go back," she says. "It is

but rather shakily, "It don't matter,

"Does not matter:" she echoes; "and
you so hurt. Your forehead is eut-eee,

"Oh, that's nothing," said Hal, smiling,
as he brushed the hair from his forehead.
"Served me right if it had been worse!
and I've made you uneasy; that's the
worst of it. Let me help you to mount"
"Not yet -not yet," she says, earnest-
ly. "Let us walk.' •
'I will walk, but you shall not," he
says, "Come."
She falters a moment, then allows him
to put her up in the saddle, and, vith his
bridle on his arm, he weeks slowly by
her side. To assist him, no doubt, he put
ids hand on her horse's neek; and, peel -
dentally, of course, her hand, ungloved
now, fails there also.
Quite accidentally, no doubt, his hand
touches hers; but it cannot altogether
be as accidental that his fingers should
creep around hers and hold them.
She does not withdraw her hand; per-
haps she thinksit assists him. And so
they go down the valley -the English
youth who is as poor as job, and has to
make his way in the world, and the rich
princess who is to roarry the Russian
count.
CHAPTER XXVII.
Forbach, sleepy Forbach, is in a state
of excitemnt Its usually quiet street is
almost filled with a curious, alert and
merry -making crowd; the windows of
Der Krone Hotel are all alive with eager
faces, all turned toward the road lead-
ing from Baden-Baaen The little flor-
ist's shop 'window is quite hidden by a
row of white -capped, red-cheeked village
maidens, laughing and talking and eating
ripe figs, all three things at once; on the
steps of the church itself are gathered
sight -seers, laughing and chatting. The
cure is not there, simply because he has
gene up to the castle to welcome the
great English milord, of whom he is the
valued and most esteemed friend.
Judging by the aspect of Forbach, alive
any vivacions, anyone would think that
the emperor himself were about to pass
through; and, indeed, bis presence would
not prove of gerater interest to the quiet
people of Forbach than the advent of the
great Marquis of Ferndale; for Ids pres-
ence at the castle, with a long train of
servants, means a great increase of busi-
ness and profit -in a ward, prosperity it-
self. The butcher and the baker, and the
, florist -even the little old fruit -woman -
rejoice and. make glad, and lay waiting
in the road to greet their patron and
give him a hearty welcome.
But a less interested motive has drawe
the red-cheeked maidens and white -cap
ped, demure matrons of the village, foi
the story of the marquis' wedding has
"Since f was -oh. for years ago."
Then she add,, with n low, musing
"Ire is very geed and kind."
IIal smothers a groan again.
'And he's papa's olde-4t friend."
Hal groans again, inaudibly, but as he '
says nothing, nothing polite and con- ,
ventional, she turns her eyes upon Isbn.'
-Will you not wish me happiness?"
At this modest request, poor, madden-
ed Hal turns crimson, white -all colors.
"Wish you -eh? Oh -oh, yes, certain-
ly. I -I wish you happiness; that is, I
inenn-let us go quicker, let us have a
gallop. It's very cold -I mean it's very
hot. T---"
And he strikes his horse a smart blow
with his light whip.
Mneh surprised and wounded, the ani-
mal gives bound and dashes down the
hill; the princess says the word to Florida
and follows. But Hal, evidently labor-
ing under the delusion that he is riding
a race, gallops recklessly down the steep
path and keep it ahead, utterly oblivious
of the well-known truism, that strange
horses are safest at the trot, and that
galloping down hill over a loose, shin-
gly road is dangerous.
The princess is safe enough; her horse
knows every inch of the way, and is as
sure-footed as a Spanish mule. She sees
hie danger'and calls out:
"Stop -take care!" but it is too late;
with a sudden Mumble the horse of Der
Krone Hotel lurches on one side, and
Hal flies over his head like a stone
thrown from a catapult. With a cry,
the princess throws herself from the sad-
dle and bends over him.
"Are you hurt -are you?"
Part Hal does not move, lying with his
face on his arm.
With a midden pallor, and a succession
of low, terrified cries, she throws her-
self down beside him, and tries to turn

They are talking about her now, as they
elhk their knitting needles and glance
expectantly up the road.
"Herr Graff, the steward, says
that she is very beautiful," says
one, with a nod; "very beautiful. There
is a portrait of ber hanging in the great
hall, which milord the marquis painted
with his own hand, and sent over that
it might hang there before the guests

face of a child -a girl-"
"Surely not!"
"So says he; a mere girl; but beauti-
ful -oh, as beautiful.hsea, flower, with
dark eyebrows and eyes like jewels, Herr
Graff is quite enamored of milady's pic-

"But 1» she so young?" asks another.
"A girl -a girl only," replies the hest
gossip, proud of her superior informa-
tion; "but a few months older than the
young milord, her brother, who has been
staying at Der Krone."
"Ah, is he not handsome?" says a girl,
with a little upraised glance of her eyes.
"He is like -like -oh, I know not what
he is like!"
"Gretchen!" exclaims her mother, who
is standing by, reprovingly, "guard thy
tongue, girl; what is that young me
lord's fair face to thee?"
The girl shrank away a.nd blushed, ex-
pecting a further rebuke, which would
certainly have been forthcoming, but,
fortunately, some one at the outskirts of
the little crowd sees a cloud of dust, a
very small cloud, in the distance.
"They are coming!" runs down the
line, and knitting needles and fingers
stoy instantly.
"Yes, it is them!" repeats the first
authority. "I can see the blue jackets of
the postilions! See, too, they have run
up the flag at Der Krone! Do you think
milord the marquis will stop for a mo-
ment?' If so, what, a fine view they will
have at Der Krone. Yes, here they

The Essence of the Block System.
The essence of the block system, says
Congressman Eseh in an article in the
.American Illustrated Magazine in favor
of the establishment for compulsory
block system on the railroads of this
country, is to secure and maintain be-
tween trains a space interval of suffi-
cient length to prevent collisions.The
present method of operation on most of
our roads aims to secure at stations
only, a time interval. You cannot elim-
inate the human factor, which enters
so largely into all railroad accidents, 1
but you can minimize it by the block 1
system. You can minimize it to the
last point by automatie block signals.
When trains are run by time tables
and despateeer's orders, the despatcher ;
himself may issue a wrong Leder, or the '
trainmen may misread or forget the
order, or someone may sleep at his post.
The manual block system where the
signals are 'Operated as directed by tole- I
graph is, it is true, still subject, though •
in much less degree, to the chain of
human error, but the automatic system
can fail only when trainmen ignore the
signals, or the mechanism fails, and
when ft fails, most systems put the
signals to "danger," and delay, not dis-
aster, is the usual result. In the words
of a signal expert, "The automatic
block system is a mechanism that has
neither the ability to go to sleep, get
drunk, become insane, not to lie; it
speaks for itself."

Britain's 33 -Knot Destroyers.
Contracts have now been arranged for
the construction of five sea -going de-
stroyers included in the navy program
for the current year. These vessels are
a great advance upon anything that has
yet been done in torpedo boat destroy-
ers, as the speed guaranteed, under pen-
alty, by the contracting firms is to be
thirty-three knots when the vessels are
carrying a load of coal sufficient to give
them a radius of action of 3,000 miles
at about ten knots speed.
Tliis condition is much mere severe
than was exacted in the case of the li0-
knot torpedo boats; and, moreover, the
scantlings proposed for these high speed
craft will be considerably heavier. It is
true that speeds of thirty-two to thirty-
three knots were attempted by one or
two builders in connection with the 1807-
08 programme, but the highest realized
on trial was thirty -ono and one-half
knots. Even then the boats were not
required to meet the same stringent
conditions as 10 the case with these new
thirty -knot led Min rd hm h inhni 5110
thirty-three knot craft. The boilers are
to bo of the express type, tulaptehle for
using oil fuel, and the propelling mach-
inery in all cases will be of the Parsons
turbine type. The displacement of the
boats will average over SOO tons, so
that very considerable poeer will re-
, quire to be developed to attain the
speed. It is the intention to order later
an experimental destroyer, which it is
expeeted will have a speed of thirty -sit
knots.-Lendon Daily Graphic,
