Her exciteâ€" ment, whatever its cause might be, drove her in quick rushes from exâ€" treme to extreme.

Searborough again looked at her sharply, and there was a flash of angâ€" er in his look. She had made the reâ€" tort rudely, and he was not gifted with the meekness of temper which takes a snub lying down.

She spoke coldly, almost as though he had suggoested something improper in proâ€" posing to introduce a cireusâ€"rider to her. "Do you know Phil Varney?" he asked, suddenly. She turned to his quickly. "Why do you ask that?" she deâ€" manded, "I was endeavoring to account for the look in your eyes," said Scearborâ€" There was something in the words, and more in the tone, which made Scarbcrough glance at her sharply. Her languor of a few minutes ago was gone, and a feverish excitement seemâ€" er to have taken its place. There was a faint flush on the whiteness of her cheek. The porcelain was tinted with Though in the wrgng she did not "Well, mostly the last," said Scarâ€" borough. "Quite a romantic meeting!" cried Elsa.

She, too, recognized, that goodâ€"humored, ugly face; and at the same moment she remebered where it was that she had seen Mona de la Mar before. She touched Scarborough on the arm. "By Jove! it is old Phil!" exclaimed Scarborough, as a short, somewhat thick set young Englishman strolled into the centre and began to shoot. Elsa nodded. She too, thought that Mona de la Mar was a ladyâ€"and more than that, she thought that her face seemed curiously familiar, though she could not remember where it was that she had seen that determined mouth, and those quick, rather roguish eyes before.

That was English riding, by an English girl, who has bunted English country. Looks like a lady, too." She was a pretty brunette, in an English hunting habit, and she rode as though she did it for pleasure. | It was not circus trickâ€"riding; there was no posturing on a wooden platform, strapped on to the back of a steady, elockâ€"workâ€"actioned hack; she sat down on her saddle, and made a big, badâ€"toempered hunter do what he didn‘t want to do. It was a straightforward cxhibition of plucky riding by a daring horsewoman; and, except that for the last jump she took of the saddle and rode bareâ€"backed, it might all have boeen done over a hunting country . at home. 3 ring was understood, and the gift of his announcement was that Mademoiselle Mona de la Marâ€""the most talented, beautiful, daring, etc., etc.,"â€"would now have the honor of appearing beâ€" fore this most distinguished audience.

But he near se her. It seemed that she was. For she was leaning forward with her hands grasping the rail in front of her; her eyes followed each movement with a strained attention, and she did not hear Scarborough when he spoke to heavyâ€"faced, sullenâ€"looking _ ringâ€" master (who answered in English, coast town Spanish, or Angloâ€"Saxon French impartially), was under the circumstances â€" somewhat unintelligâ€" ible; the Japanese juggler was cleâ€" ver, but rather belied his professional cognomen of the Marquis Quiâ€"Quis, by swearing in unmistakable Cockney at a clvmsy assistant who spoiled one of his best tricks; ard the performing mule, for this occasion, refused to perâ€" form anythingâ€"possibly to prove, beâ€" yond all chanees of doubt, that he realâ€" ly was a mu‘e.

In 1895 Iig returned to Switzerland and brought a wife back with him to Abyssinia. Menelik had always been eager to learn handicrafts, and took an especial delight in carpentry; and when Iig returned, his sovereign made him a wedding present of a house deâ€" signed by the royal hands and built under Menelik‘s supervision. physician. He repaired the royal clocks, and took all the photographs of his dusky majesty, He prospected for coal and assayed gold from the rivers. It was owing to his reorganâ€" ization and equipment of the Abysâ€" sinian army that the. Italians were so soundly beaten at Adowa in 1806. "If you had such good horses and mules in Europe as we have in Abysâ€" sinia you wouldn‘t need smooth roads and rolling wheels." Finally Iig got permission to conâ€" struct a piece of roadway and a wagâ€" on. ‘The horses hitched to the veâ€" hicle ran away, frightened by the strange monster rumbling at their heels, they dashed the wagon into splinters, and for many years Moneâ€" lik would hear nothing of such danâ€" gerous contrivances. But Menelik‘s confidence in his "manâ€"whoâ€"canâ€"doâ€"anything" _ steadily grew. He became chief diplomatic adâ€" viser and premier as well as court Those frequent moving days imâ€" pressed him with the advantages of good roads and the necessity of wagâ€" ons. Menelik was opposed to the inâ€" novation at first, and declared: could be built. _ Every nail, screw, clamp and bolt had to be forged by hand.

When Menelik got tivred of one site, his capital and his pet lions had to be transported to a more congenial locality. A new city had to be built, and Iig acquired quite a facility in this work that any Western boomâ€"town promoter might envy. Menelik was convinced with difâ€" ficulty, and the Swiss constructed a model to illustrate his argument. The swarthy potentate put his hand upon the model and crushed it, and lig had to build another, too strong to be broken, before he got reluctant porâ€" mission to carry out the project. But the Gallas are toâ€"day loyal Abyssinâ€" iansfi thanks to Ilg‘s bridge. In building the bridge, the timber had to be carried on human shouldâ€" ers over a distance of ten miles. Quarries had to be opened and stoneâ€" masons trained before the _ piers could be built. _ Every nail, screw, clamp and bolt had to be forged by hand. It took three hundred men three days to carry one beam over the ton milesâ€"a feat of agility easâ€" ily beaten by the hyenas, who used to steal Iig‘s pillow from under his head while he slent! Oor _ At that time Abyssinia was almost as unknown to the world as Tibet; it professed a primitive Christianity, but as far as material civilization was concerned it was scarcely above the savages of Central Africa. But Meneâ€" lik was determined to start his nation on the upward path. lHg agreed to go to Abyssinia; but he was directed by Menelik to take a course in mediâ€" cine and surgery before leaving Switâ€" zerland. lg did almost everything during his thirtyâ€"five years in Abyssinia. He built fortifications, bridges, railways; ovened mines and dug canals; introâ€" duced blast furnaces and eclectric lighting; in fact, he created a modâ€" ern civilization from the beginnings, for when he arrived the simplest tools were unknown. There was not even a carpentor‘s square in the kingdom. The story of the bridge that lg built across the Hawash River shows what manner of men and natural obâ€" stacles he had to contend with. The Hawash separated Shoa, the southâ€" ernmost province of Abyssinia, from lands of the Gallas, a tribe of fierce, pastoral nomads who were much dreaded by their Christian ncighbors. Ig persuaded Menelik that a bridge was nceded to subdue them. He arâ€" gued that if an Abyssinian army could cross to get at the raiders, they would have to submit or abandon their vast herds, some of which numâ€" bered a hundred thousand head of cattle.

The name can have meant noâ€" ‘thing to most of those who saw it, but it is that of a man who had an extraordinary career, and who in his own corner of the world played a wonderful part. Alfred Iig was a Swiss by birth. He received the education of an enâ€" gincer at the famous Polytechric School of Zurich, where he distinâ€" guished himself, and then he settled down to practice his profession at Bern. One day, in 1878, he had a word from one of his old instructors that Menelik, Negus of Abyssiaia, had sent to Zurich for an engineer who could build forts and public works for him. They would recommend Iig if he would accept the place. ‘ _ "Who‘d have thought of meeting you here, old man?" said the Reâ€" volver King. "I saw you from the} ring, and I saw who you were with. That was another surprise." | _ "You know Miss Page?" asked Ecarborough, with astonishment. | "No. But I konw the girl who was, with you." | "Yes, Miss Page." [ "She calls herself that, does she?" said Phil Varney with a grin. "I knew her as Elsa Carrington, the daughter of the man who ruined my poor old governor." | I shall easily get home before dark, and I would rather go alone." He protested, but she insisted. And, as usual, she had her way. She rod off alone, and ten minutes later Scarborough was shaking hands with his old chum, Phil Varney, alias Pampas Joe, in the circus greenâ€"room. BUILDER OF A CIVHIZATION. (To be Continued.) The central supply stations are eqaippe. with the main bakeries for the army. There too the wine and coffe® are received in bulk and apâ€" portioned for reshipment. The wine comes in tank cars not unlike Ameriâ€" can oil cars and is distributed in small barrels The coffee is roasted in the centres and sent out in bags. "There are eight tracks, each 1,000 feet in length," Mr. Hiatt‘s article says in an outline of the methods of making up and distributing a supply train, "laid to care for the trains that are made up daily. Bulky supplies, hay for the horses, bread for the men, § "It does not bogin to give a concepâ€" _ tion of the vast transportation probâ€" lems involved," he says, "to say that , daily 25,000 tons of rations must be _ {orwarded to the soldiers, that 1,000,â€" 000 quartsâ€"â€"a veritable river â€" of _ wine must reach them, that seventyâ€" five tons of lead must be shipped for each German killed or wounded, or that th > cost of war mauterial forwardâ€" ed each day is $10,0060,000. One railâ€" road alone furnishes more than 3,500 cars a day for army transport purâ€" poses; 100,000 automobiles and 600,â€" 000 wagons are required to distribute the shipments at the front." The system of transportation and distribution in the confused conditions obtaining just after the outbreak of the war, he says, was much like that of Louvis XIV., or Napoleon. With t‘ me and experience, however, the sysâ€" tem has been developed into a reguâ€" lar graded series of stations and subâ€" stations, from the stationâ€"magasins, or central supply stations, of which there are about twenty located from fitty to 100 miles behind the fro: t, to the gares de ravitaillment, the local stations situated from five to ten miles behind the front, from which supplies are transported in army wagons, moâ€" tor trucks or by narrow gauge roads to the artillery and trenches. Provisions for Emergencies. The central supply stations are the clearing houses for all army supply consignments. They are situated at strategic points within easy reach of seaports and other important cities and usually possessing unusual freight facilities. Each forwards supplies for 50,000 or 100,000 or in some cases : more men a day. From one to three trains are despatched every day to each gare regulatrice, or regulating â€" stat.on, where they are classified â€" and forwarded to the gare de ravâ€" itaillment. The gares de ravitaillâ€" ment keep ten days supplies on hand to guard against congestion. It is | roughly figured that the daily requireâ€" ment of an army corps of 40,000 men . is forty carloads. j t WX llllll.lllllllllll!ll!mfl Walter 8.

They will travel under water, or, at least, in an almost submerged position, and be towed across the ocean by steamers. It has been found that a submerged vessel can be towed much more casily than an ordinary vessel of the same size, this being due to the fact that the vessel is, even in its surface position, almost enâ€" tirely submerged, and the discovery has been made use of in the design of the new gigantic oil carriers. Another novelty will be the porâ€" manent storage of large quantities of oil under water. Ordinary oil storâ€" age tanks are splendid marks for big guns, and are also vulnerable to atâ€" tack from the air. The new moethod consists in sinking large stocl cylinâ€" *ors filled with oil in an artificial lake, the oil being pumped in or out as reâ€" quired.
