He discovered where a flaw in the iron had weakened the couplings. He was followed at a short distance by several young men, among whom was the boy who had run to tell him that a woman was being roughly handled by Neslerov, and who had taken his horse to shelter. He ordered the boy to bring the horse. Mounting, he was soon out of sight. He did not go far, however. He rode along the track until he reached a siding a short distance from the bridge. where there was an old construction engine. in.” “That ls for you to say. I am not a murderer. I had no desire to kill you. You attacked me, and I defended my- self. I am going back to Tomsk, pro. vlded your savage villagers don’t kill me, and I merely came to ask lf you would be pleased to go.” “How?” he asked. “In the same car you came thus far Denton examined the old hulk. It was fit only for drawing one or two cars. Denton carried water from the river and filled the boiler and built a fire of wood. Neslemv looked up at his conqueror. v..- . o--oV-’- Ind an expression of hatred came Into his eyes. Demon made no show of sen- timent or compassion. Soon after the villagers were sur- pris to see a wheezy, rickety old en- gine ming slowly, with a prodigious noise, into view. Denton’s horse had no difficulty in keeping up with it. The old engine was coupled to the car, and then Denton went for Frances. “The train is ready,” he said. “The train! What train?” “The train that is to carry you to the Obi, where you will join your father.” “But there is no train!” “There is a train, and as the steam is up and the track clear I suggest haste. Your father is probably anx- ions.” “I understand you commanded these villagers to kill me,” he said, standing at the side of the bed and looking cold- ly and sternly at his victim. “I just wanted to say- before they kill me- whlch they certainly will do it you in- sist-that in that case you would prob- ably die here for lack of prbper care.” “'You cannot help meâ€"you would not.” answered Neslerov. It was a solemn crowd that marched In two columns. with Demon between, to the but of the village prlest. where Neslerov lay. “Why do you bring him here?” asked the priest. “Heard you not what his excellency said?" “Hold your peace.

Neslerov was carried to the car by the villagers. The backs of two shats were turned down, a bed was made for him, and he lay there quiet and seem- ingly content. “Of course, I know that you are seri- ously wounded.” said Demon to him, “and the possibility of your doing any mischief is small. but I want to tell you before we start that if I catch you at any tricks I will kill you as I would 1 dog." Neslerov nodded. and Demon went on the engine. It was an exciting start, though the audience was small. The villagers stared. then laughed as the little old engine puffed and sereeehed and scrap. ed as it got under way. But it had a man in charge of it who was accustomed to overcoming difficul- ties. And the way he made it groan and work would have made glad the heart of the man who had abandoned it on the siding six months before. In the car was silence. Neslerov 1 was too weak to talk; Frances would? not talk to him if he wished. She re-‘ mained at her end of the car, save to go in mercy to him and offer him \\'a- ‘ ter at intervals. At such times he; would look up at her with an earnest, i inscrutable expression on his face. She i would not speak. nor he. i Suddenly at a siding toward whichi he had been aiming Denton turned the ‘ engine to the right and brought the lit- . tle train to a standstill. They had been on the road sixteen hours and bad tra v- eled 210 miles. Frances and Neslerov both looked up as the train stopped and saw the grimy engineer enter the car. “There is a village near here." he said, “and just beyond this siding there is a small signal box. 1 have just vis- ited it, and there is a train coming this way from Tomsk. Undoubtedly, as there is no regular train due. this is a searching party out after Frances Gor- don. Now. I have no wish to start an international coptroversy. What story shall we tell '2” “Tell the truth.” said Frances. "It does not. as a rule. harm any person who is innocent.” “No.” said Neslerov; “not as a rule. But we are in a part of the world where customs are dltferent from yours. It you tell the truth. you will never make the world believe you. But you will not understand; I cannot tell you." “I know what you mean," said Fran- m scornfully. “You mean that your “0h, he is in there," said Frances coolly. “We’ve had a lively experience. I thought at one time we’d be killed by some savages. But Mr. Denton and the princeâ€"oh, let’s get on; I’m tired out and hungry.” Denton heard and wondered. In every new experience he had had with Frances Gordon he had been made more and more astonished by the un- certain pads, the whims, the strange turns her caprice would take. “Hitch on to this train and haul her back to the Obi,” said Denton. “It the road doesn’t want this engine, I can use it at the Obi bridge.” “Hey! That you. Denton?” he gasp- ed as the grimy bridgehuilder stepped into the car, which was stopped at the side of the construction engine. “My girl and the governor of Tomsk‘ got left behind in a car.

This attachment was soon made, and Mr. Gordon, after visiting the prince and congratulating him upon his es- cape trom the savages, assisted in whistle of a speeding locomonve was borne to him by the breeze. It cameâ€" one engine and a car. the same as that he was on, but a modern locomotive of American make.

The Russian ofiicials swarmed around him and praised his courage. “And that Anurrican! He is a brave one too!” they said. The train started back toward Tomsk. It had about ninety miles to go to reach the OM. During the jour- ney Benton and Frances found them- selves side by sitle in the rear ear, with no one near enough to hear their low spoken tones. “Yes, ' he is braveâ€"braver than I," said Ncslerov 1111:1kl1. “I cannot understand you,” said Benton. “You first said tell the truth, then you yourself told the first deliber- ate lie. Why?” Frances looked at him coolly. “ {eeause I thought it over. There was a good deal in what Neslerov said. Then. again, you and my father have work to do, a career to make, money to earn. and with the enmity of Ne- slerov you would be ruined. I studied it. well. It is better as I said it.

On this day all orthodox t'hiuese abstain from eating flesh, and they sometimes observe it as a day of fast ing. The second day is Dog’s day (Ku- Yat). This day is especially held sa- cred to the. canine hosts of the Flowery Kingdom. The Chinese, notwithstand ing the fact that they eat the flesh of the dog and esteem it a great delicacy. honor their dogs more highly and take better care at them than any other race of people. In every large Chinese city there is a workman whose sole trade is that of making coflins for departed canines. â€" 7-.- -._‘__ The third day, llog’s day (Chenâ€"Yatl. is celebrated in honor of a hog that once drew a valuable manuscript out of a bonfire of trash. The fourth feast, Sheep’s day (Yaong-Yat). is honored in memory of Pun Iioon \‘enga, a shep- herd who clothed himself ln leaves, grass and bark of trees, refusing to make use of any part of the sheep, ei- ther for food or clothing.

The sixth day is Ma-Yat. or Horse day, and is set apart to call to mind the use- fulness of that noble animal. CHINESE FESTIVALS. [TO BE CONTINUED.) Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it’s easily destroyed while young when old, sometimes im- possible. The best lung fertilizer is Scott’s Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds-will dieappeat. The time to treat consump- tion is when you begin tryin to hide it from yourselg. Others see it, you won’t. Don’t wait 'until you can’t deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott’s Emulsion. If it isn’t really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- tion you can’t expect to be cured at once. but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat- ment you will win. Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that’s the treatment and that’s the best treatment. No Time to Read. “Pause, 0 youth or maiden," wrote Andrew Lang in the Windsor Maga- zine, “before you accustom your lips to this fatal formula. ‘I have no time to read!’ You have all the time which for you exists. and it is abundant. What are you doing with itâ€"with your leisure? Mainly. gossiping. Uur mod- ern malady is gregariousncss. We must he in company chattering. “To be always with others, always gregarious. always chattering. like monkeys in treetops. is our ruling vice, and this is the reason why we have no time to read and why you see. so many people pass their leisure when alone in whistling or whittling.
