By dint of several wheel­ barrow trips between the knoll and the farmyard, he had presently construc­ ted a pyre of Impressive proportions; and by that time It was quite darlt --so'-dark, indeed, that he had been forced to limit jop a' yard lantern, carrying the which the girl had ac­ companied hira on his two final trips. ••Here/' he said clumsily, whew all was ready, offering her matches. "You light it, please--for luck." Their fingers touched as she took the matches. Something thumped in his breast, and a door opened in the chambers of hi? understanding, letting in lijjht. Kneeling at the base of the pyre, she struck a match and applied It to a quantity of Under-dry excelsior. The stuff caught instantly, puffing into a brilliant patch of blaze; she rose and stood back, en silhouette, delicate­ ly poised at attention, waiting to see that her work waj well done. E*e could not take his gaze from hen So what he had trifled and toyed with, fought with and. prated against, doubted and questioned, laughed at and cried down, was sober, painful fact Truth, heart-rending to behold In her stark, shining beauty, had been revealed to him in that moment of brushing finger-tips, and he had looked In her face and known his unworthi- ness; and he trembled and was afraid and ashamed. ... The girl retreated Uf Ma Ride, re­ turning the matches. A tongue of flame shot tip from the peak of the pyre, and a column of smoke surpassed ft, swinging off to leeward in great, red-bosomed volutes and whorls picked out with flying regi­ ments of sparks. , They seated themselves with their backs to the fire and at a respectful distance from it, where they could watch the jetting blades of lisrht that ringed the far-off headland. Whitaker reclined on an elbow, relapsing into moody contemplation. The girl stirred uneasily, turning her head to look at Whitaker. "You know," she said with a con­ fined attempt to laugh: "this is reafly so canny, this place. Or else I'm balmy.

Then you're not--offended?" he asked, sitting up. • ' "Why should I be?" The firelight momentarily outlined the smiling half wistful countenance she turned to him. "What woman would be who received as great and honorable a compliment --from you. Hugh? Only"--again the whimsical little laugh that merged into A smothered sigh--"1 wish I knew!" "Wish you knew what?" "What's going on Inside that extra­ ordinary head of jours; what's in the mind behind the eyes that I so often find staring at me bo curiously." He bowed that head between hands that compressed cruelly his temples. "I wish I knew!" he groaned in pro­ test.

"Well?" she demanded in alt odd, Hntfftg voice. "Isn't It true?" "True?" He laughed unnaturally. "It's so true I--wish I had died befort I told you !" "Please ex plain,"she (urged a trace wearily. "I." he sfnmmered--am already married." She jfcnve a little, stifled cry-- whether of pain or horror or of indig­ nation he could not telL "I'm sorry--I--" he began. "Don't you think you might have thought of this before?" "I . . . you don't understand--" "So It would seem," she put In cruelly. "Please hear met It was several years ago I married a girl I'd never seen before, to help her out of a des­ perate scrape she'd got into. We never lived together, never even saw one another after that hour. She had every reason to think me dead-- as I should have been, by rights. But now she knows that Tin alive--Is about to sue for a divorce." After a long pause, durtng which neither stirred, she told him, In a faint voice: "Thank you." She moved toward the house. "If you will forgive me--" "Oh, I forgive you, Mr. Whitaker. My heart ts really not quite so fragile as alt this Implies. I think I'll go to bed. I'm very, very tired. In spite of my sleep on the sands. That didn't rest me, really." They returned to the kitchen: In silence, while Whitaker fidgeted about the room, awkward and un­ happy. the girl removed a glass lamp from the shelf above the sink, as­ sured herself that it was filled, and lighted it. Then over her shoulder : "I hope you don't mean to slay up all night" , "I--well, Fm really not sleepy." "As soon as you feel the least need of sleep, you'll go to bed? "I promise." "Very well, then." The insistent note faded from her tones. She moved toward the table, put the lamp down, and hesitated Is r £ A Tongue of Flame Shot Up. gmitly.

"I think," he said with his twisted smile, "it would be well for me If I were physically blind at this Instant!" She shook her head In light reproof. "Blind, quite blind!' she repeated. "And yet--I'm glad It's so with yon. I wouldn't have yon otherwise for worlds." She withdrew her hand, took up the lamp, moved a little away from him, and paused, holding his eyes. "For Love, too, Is blind," s**e said softly, with a quaint little nod of af­ firmation. "Good night" He started forward, eyes aflame; took a single pace after her; paused as If against an unseen barrier.

He was up and out In the cool of dawn, before sunrise, delaying to listen for some minutes at tire foot of the stairway. But he heard no sound In that slill house, and there was no longer the night to affright the woman with hinted threats of nameless hor-» rors lurking beneath its impenetrable cloak. He felt" no • longer bound to stand sentinel on the threshold of her apprehensions. He went out The day would be clear. In the white magic of air like crystal trans­ lucent ^nd motionless, the world seemed more close-knitted and sane. What yesterday's veiling of haze had concealed was now bold and near. In the north the lighthouse stood like a horn on the brow of the headland, the lamp continuing to flash even though its light was darkened, its beams out­ stripped by the radiant forerunners of the sun. On the nearer land hu­ man life was quickening; here and there pale streamers uf smoke swung up from hidden chimneys on Its wood­ ed rises. Whitaker eyed them with longing. But they wer6 distant from attain­ ment by at the least three miles of tideway through which strong waters raced. He wagged a doubtful head, and scowled; no sign in any quarter of a boat heading for the island, no telling when they'd be taken off the cursed place! In his mutinous irritation, the screaming of the gulls, over In the west, seemed to add the final, touch of annoyance, a superfluous addition to the Sum of his trials. What was the matter with the addle-pa ted things, anyway? There was nothing to hinder him from investigating for himself. The girl would probably sleep another hoar or two. He went forthwith, dulling the keen edge of his exasperation with a rapid tramp of half a mile or so over the uneven uplands. The screaming was well-nigh deafen­ ing by the time he stood upon the verge of the bluff; beneath him gulls clouded the air like bees swarming. And yet he experienced bo difficulty In locating the cause of their excite-, ment. Below, a slow tide crawled, tie leer­ ing, up over the bowlder-strewn sands. In a wave-scooped depression between two of the large bowlders, the reced­ ing waters had left a little, limpid pool. In the pool lay the body of a man, face downward, limbs fright­ fully sprawling. Gulls fought for place upon his back. The discovery brought with It no shock of surprise to the man on the bluff; horror alone. He seemed to have known all along that such would be the cause. But he shrank shudder­ ing from the thought of the work that lay to bis hand---work that must be accomplished at once and com­ pletely ; for she must know nothing of it She had suffered enough, as it was.

The heliograph, although largely su­ perseded by wireless telegraphy, still 1s used on the frontiers of India and in South Africa, where the air ts dear and signals can be seen over long dis­ tances. Botha's men are using it and mo are his opponents, though perhaps they seldom think this method of signaling by means of flashing reflections of the sun's rays is more than 2,000 years- old, being invented by Tacitus. The shields of soldiers, grouped in a prearranged manner, were used, but, of course, the system was very primitive and trans­ mission slow, oniy 'the simplest ex­ pressions being possible. Under favorable conditions a beli> graph signal can be read for very long distances, 770 miles being not at all uncommon, while years ago Major Home, on the staff of General French, managed to send messages tor 1tt miles, for long a record.

PROUD OFSTATIONS EMQLISH RAILROAD LINES HAVE MANY PRETTY ONES. *IS WORLD'S HEAVIEST BRIDGE Soma Artificially Beautified and Soma Situated in Naturally Charming Spots--Lakeside on Very Edge of Windermere. Probably the railroad station tn England which can boast of being most "beautiful for Situation" Is that of Grange-over-Sands, in Furness. The Furness railroad in its course from Arnside to Barrow, hugs the northern shore of Morecambe bay, and at Grange the sea almost washes the platform of the station at high tide, whilst when the tide is out a great stretch of shining white sand gleams In the sunshine. On the other side of the line the traveler sees a sort of transformation scene--in; summertime, at least-j-an exquisite garden of emerald lawns and gay parterres and dancing fountains, and behind this a lovely little town embowered.In trees, and behind this again, yet quite close at hand, a high hill crowned with leafage. Yes, the railroad station at Grange will take ^ lot of beating. Perhaps the station which comes nearest to winning,the beauty prize from Grange is another on the same system--Lakeside station. This is not an attractive station in itself, but its situation on the very edge of Winder-1 mere, the queen, of the English lakes, makes it very notable. You step out of (he station on the little lake steamboat to continue your journey into that lakeland.which is the largest area In England without a railroad. ^Another beautifully situated station tir the one at Llangollen. It Is built on the bank of the Dee, and close to It Is the quaint'old bridge and the steep old village, and on either hand the lovely hills, one of them crowned with a castle, and as far as the eye can see the wonderful dale or vale scenery. Quite a number of -stations on the Midland in the Peak district are very notably situated, such as Matlock Bath, with the High Tor towering above It, and Bakewell and Miller's Dale, with their far-extending views. ;• But a rival to any of these Is the Warren Halt at Folkestone. It oc­ curs Just before the train runs into the Shakespeare Cliff to reappear at Dover, and the last scene before plunging into darkness is the lovely Warren, beloved of picnickers and blackberry gatherers. This notable bit of scenery is undoubtedly the result of a catastrophe a thousand years old <!>r so, a mighty landslide when the cliff gave way and billions of tons of earth and rock slid Into the sea.--London Tld-Blts. New York Has Structure That Exceed* * 1« Weight Anything That Has ' Yet Been Built '• . The steel arch across Hell Gate, the heaviest bridge la existence, will soon be ready for traffic, ritod then It will be possible for travelers to p&sa through Kew York going north iabd south without any of the Inconven­ iences and delays that have hitherto been unavoidable. Time and money will be saved. The Hell Gate bridge is part of a two-mile project known as the New York Connecting railway, and of this the East river division alone, repre­ sents an outlay of $30,000,000 and cov­ ers a stretch of three and one-half miles. The massive span has cost $12,- 000,000. Today the Hell Gate bridge repre­ sents a sustained mass of 19,000 tons of steel alone. It is the longest four- track railroad bridge and able to sup­ port a greater load per lineal foot than any other bridge. Gustave Llndenthal, the engineer, who laid all of the plans for the bridge, is a modest genius, and lias little to say of this latest, monument of his technical skilL Us* of Autos on Tracks. The use of automobiles on the rail­ road tracks Is becoming more fre­ quent For such work the ordinary rubber tires must be removed and iron flanges of exact railroad gauge bolted In their place. On the Santa Fe rail­ road such a special automobile recent­ ly made a transcontinental trip on' ah educational safety-first campaign. This automobile was routed like a reg­ ular train, reported from station to station, and carried the regular flags and lights of a locomotive. Another use for the motor on the rails has been found by a lumber company, which had to make use of an old line of track, two weak to carry a locomo­ tive. They bolted tires on a two-ton autotruek and used It socooasfully in­ stead. HAVE CUT DOWN DISASTERS Records Show Good Work Has Been Accomplished by the Railroads * of America. A convenient tabulation-of facts re­ lating to railroads In the United States is furnished by the annual bulletin of the bureau of railway economics. The issue just out bears the title "Sta­ tistics of Railways, 1905-1915," and will be found extremely handy. The tables are unaccompanied by any comment but a glance at them suggests to the Interested eye many a point worth noting. Thus one cannot fall to be struck with the remarkable decrease In the number of persons killed and in­ jured in train accidents, during the five years covered by the table relating to that subject In the case of pas­ sengers killed In such accidents, the fiscal year 1913 stands out In an evil wray, though the record as a whole Is decidedly encouraging, the figures for the successive years from 1911 to 1915 being 142, 139, 181, 85, 89; but the number of employees on duty killed in train accidents shows a steady diminution in the number of persons injured, though very marked, has not been so great as in the number killed-- which apparently indicates that the improvement that has taken place has been rather in safeguarding against accidents of the most disastrous type than In the prevention of all kinds of accidents.'

In February, 1831, the Indiana legis­ lature chartered six railroad com­ panies, viz., the Lawrenceburg & In­ dianapolis; Madison & Indianapolis; New Albany, Salem & Indianapolis; Harrison & Indianapolis; Lafayette St Indianapolis, and Ohio & Indianapo­ lis. The first one built was the Madi­ son & Indianapolis, which was opened from Madison to Vernon in 1839 and to Indianapolis In 1847. Tbe Jeffer­ son ville road was begun In 1848 and completed to Edlnburg In 1852. The old Bellefontaine, now part of the Big Four, was chartered in 1848 and com­ pleted from Indianapolis to Union City in 1852. The Terre Haute & In­ dianapolis was begun in 1850 and com­ pleted in- 1852. The Indianapolis It Lafayette was begun hi 1849 aud fin­ ished In 1852. The old Indiana Central was begun In 1851 and completed to the Ohio state line in December, 1853. The Peru & Indianapolis was char­ tered In 1846. work began in 1849. was completed with a flat bar from Indian­ apolis to Noblesvllle in 1851 and fin­ ished to Peru in 1854.

London, Feb. 26.--England Is feel­ ing sharply the blows of Germany's submarine fleet. This was made plain by Premier Lloyd-George In tbe house of commons when he delivered his her­ alded speech on the necessity to re­ strict imports. The submarine must be bunted from the deep, the premier declared, ^here is no surer way. to victory, lie tainted out the need of tonnage to supply the needs of the civil an<i mili­ tary nation, and declared that the situ­ ation ca?ls for the gravest measures. The premier declared that the gov­ ernment hopes to deal effectively with the submarine menace despite the diffi­ culties in the way of punting down uu: derwater boats, and said that enor­ mous sacrifices are necessary from the British public, as the government proposes to dispense with all non­ essential importations to saye ton- nage. This was the firs^t time that it has been officially admitted that the Ger­ man submarine war is crippling the British government "The gravest kind of measures are necessary in this situation." declared the premier. "The government is hope­ ful of dealing effectively with this mat­ ter, but we should be guilty oi the worst kind of folly If we rested tran­ quilly upon the realization of that hope. We have to face action and we have to deal ruthlessly and prompt­ ly with the tonnage question." The premier said that more than 1,000,000 tons of British shipping has been assigned to France. The stocks of food in Great Britain are lower tha*. they ever have been be­ fore, Mr. Lloyds-George said. It Is es­ sential for the life of the nation, he declared, that every possible effort be piade to increase home production. U. S. MAN VICTIM OF U-BOAT R. A.

Washington, Feb. 20.--Robert Allen Haden, an American Presbyterian mis­ sionary situated at Foochovv, China, lost his life when the French liner Athos was destroyed by a submarine 210 miles east of Malta on February 17. Consul Keblinger at Malta cabled a report of Haden's death to the state department on Friday and said that the missionary's address was given as In care of the Presbyterian mission board at Nashville, Tenn. Tbe nationality of the submarine was not given. Consul Keblinger said the Athos was carrying troops and may have been a transport. No steps can be taken un­ til this fact is definitely determined.
