CABIN PASSENGER.

(Conti« ued.)

Richard Morley is commiss’oned with He aails for London on the steamer Venice, carrying with him the necklace in an in- pocket. ‘There is on board, reoom mended to the captain’s care, a very at tractive young lady. On the third day out Morley protects her from an apparent radeness on the pare of a villainous looking second cabin pas senger, at sight of whom the girl shows agitation Morey falls in luve with the Madeline Perrine by name, tells ber about Lis errand and prepos s to he., while leaning evr the rail ividing th first and sceoad cabin decks She does not answer, but urges him forward to th ca >in That evening she accepts him and gives him her portrait which sh: places in lis Inside ve-t pocket.

Instantly after the captain's announes- ment of the recovery of the stolen gems he was surrounded by an eager group of questioners to whom he would give po in- formation. This crowd was soon attract- ed from bis side by a new sensation—the falling of a woman in a faint.

Morley was trying to elbow his way to the captain when she was carried out,and he was filled with distress when he saw that the unfortunate suffercr was Made- line Perrine. He saw to it that she was placed in the hands of a doctor and a stewardess in a deck cabin and then, satisfied that the news that his jewe!s were to be restored to him, had been too good for her to complacently hear (and loving her the more for it) and being assured that her illness was not import ant, he hurrivd back to the captain.

The officer bade him goto his cabin and wait. Ina moment he joined him there, and, after handing him his lost trersare which examination showed had not been harmed, he began to question him anew ahout the persons with whom he was acquainted on board ship—partic- ularly the women. In the meantime he refused to answer any questions himself. He had soon drawn from Morley the story of his acquaintance and love fur Madeline. His next speech was extraor- dinary.

“I am sorry to hear this, but I am sor- rier you conceaied it from me at first’’ aaid the captain ‘‘may I ask if your love for each other has reached the point svhere you have—ah—em braced her?’’

‘‘It did, sir, last evening,’’ said Mor- ley, filled with a horrible fear, And then relunctantly, he told the stery of the photograph and how Madeline had put it in the pocket with the jewels.

‘*That is all I wished to know,’ said the captain ‘'] am _ horrified—no, not a word! Come with me and I will take you face to face with the person in whose cabin, carefully concealed beneath the velvet of the cushioned seat, your jewels were found.’”’

Mor'tey followed the captain. He was fillei with forebodings too terrifying to permit speech. These were confirmed when the captain opened the door of his own private cabin, and when Moricy saw, sitting within, her face stained with tears and her eyes almcst wild in their expres- sion, her face as pele as death and her

hands working convulsively—his avreet- heart, Madeline Perrine.

For a moment Morley recoiled in hor- ror The shock was a frightful une. K.ven after the vague suspicions which the events of the past twelve hours had forced into his unwillittg mind, his brain was in no conditicn to receive confirmation of them. The fact that his love for Madeline had grown quickly did not alter the fact that that love was deep rooted and com- plete. As the captain explained to him in a vcice not unshaken by emotion that the diamonds had been discovered care- fully hidden in Madeline’s cabin and that she had refused to give any explanation whatever of their presence there, the girl spc ke no word of protest. She only sat shi-ering and weeping in her chair.

After he had stopped speaking Morley went over to her. He did not touch her, bu. stood quietly close to her.

‘*Madeline,’’ said he slowly, ‘‘look at me.’

The girl raised her tearful eyes and ga7ed into his.

‘*Madeline,’’ he said again, ‘‘what do you want to say?’’

There was a pause before she spoke. When words at last came to her ips they were thickened by emotion and sobs.

**Dick, dear Dick,’’ she said with diffi- culty, ‘I did not steal your diamonds; you know I did nut. I knew no more of their presence in that cushion than you did. Den't you believe me, Dick?’

He was torn by contlicting emotions. Love fought against reason. She did not look like a guilty woman to the lover— the tears, the trembling lips, the ashen face, were but indications of a pure girl’s distress at being charged with a dreadful crime. But to his other self—to the man of the world who had been wronged and who justly demanded the punish- ment of the guilty—these same marks of agitation were the proof of sin. To this Morley a thousand little evidences came to mind which showed that she alone ef all the persons on the ship could have stolen the dian:onds. LHefore the other Morley—who loved her—an equal array of little things flashed forth in undim- mable brightness all going to show that she was © woman of pure and innocent mind, of trusting disposition, of simple, loving nature. Hand clasps and tender words were marshalled against suspicious hanpening and direct evidence. He suifered an agony. She said not another

He stretehel out his arius tewad her and gathered her into them with firm affection. ‘There was no room for doubt left in nim now. A flood of passionate tenderness swelled up from his heart and drowned the logic of his brain.

were just forming an exclamation when |

The captain,after this speech, disgusted tongue He declared that nothing of the sort had ever occurred on his ship before, and averred that he should see tu it that the culprit in this case should not go free because the person she bad robbed was her infatuated lover. Nothing but the most conclusive evi- dence could have conyinced him of Miss Perrine’s guilt, but that evidence he bad and he proposed to act on it. So far she had absolute'y refused to give any explanation whatever of the presence of the jewels in her cabin, or to advance any theory concerning the manner of their getting there other than to deny that she had put them there herself. She admitted that she had such a theory, but declined to tell him of it. He shoulg jagk her up.

Morley angered by the captain's man- ner declared that he would make no com- plaint and that the captain would there. fore be unable to carry the case to a court when they reached port, but the captain asserted that as captain of the ship he could and would press the complaint bimeelf and see that the girl was punish-

WEDNESDAY,

AUTOMATIC OILING.

An Era of Cleanliness, Economy and Efficiency Has Begun.

The ill-kept, dirty engine room is be- -oming a thing of the past, and an era of economy, cleanliness and high-speed engines demands more perfect systems of distributing oil to the various wear- ing parts of machinery, and the subse- quent saving of the excess of oil, so that it may be used again. Different conditions influence the design of such asystem, but there has been a great demand for one which would be to a certain extent independent of con- ditions, working at any height above machinery, level with or even feeding from below. The saving of the waste oil and its repeated use is of course de- sirable, since it makes it possible to use all the oil necessary on every part without fear that this lavish use wil result in a consequent large expense. It is further desirable that such a sys- tem should be compact and should be under the management of one man and should be uninfluenced by changes of temperature or even by the movement of a ship in aheavy sea, It should alse be possible to place such a system any- where in a building or vessel, accord. ing to the conditions of the case; to use different rates of feed on different parts of the machinery, and to save all waste oil without a basement below the engine room,—Railroad Gazette,

ed. He refused to see any aspect of the |

affair except that which admitted heg guilt and he condemned Morley as & sentimental idiot. Morley quickly saw there was no hore of avoiding distress for Madeline and a scandal for himself unless he discovered some ovidence to back up his belief in his sweetheart’s innocence. He therefore begged the cap- tain to give him baif an hour alone with Madeline before any further steps were taken, and,after much argument, persiai- ed him to promise to see that the secret of the affair was kept from spreading for twelve hours.

For a few moments after the captain had left them, Madeline could not calm herself sufficiently to discuss the sad tangle. she wept and declared her un- dying love for Morley without resiraijf. He would not permit her to assert her innocence—there was no doubt of that, he said: but he begged her to help him prove it,

‘*'The captain tells me that you have a theory,’ hesaid. ‘‘What ig jt, Madel:ne?’’

She hung her head with the expression of one who must suffer in silence and, for a moment, said nothing. When she spoke the face which she raised to his was white and drawn.

*Dick,”’ said she, ‘I spoke foalishly when {i gald that to the captain. I have a theory—ycs, I bave move than a theory, I have a certainty—but I cann >t tell him what it is, and I cannot tell you what it is. I realize whzt this means. I know who stole your diamondsand I know how they caine to be hidden inmy cabin. But, although | know this and cannot tell you, my knowledge is not guilty. I see pow what your position is. 1 see that there is no salvation forme. Kither I must speak or I must suffer suspicion even in your mind and that will mean the loss of your love, which I value more highly than I doany other thing, except one, on earth. And with these unhap- pinesses will come the additional mis- furtune of public disgrace. But I—I— eannot help it. I must suffer them all. I am not guilty, but I must accept the penalty of guilt, for I cannot speak.’’

The Queen’s Shawls.

It has always been a source of wonder, eren to Englishmen, as to where the Quecb secured those India shawls which she is pleased to confer as a mark of grace on her special favorites.

Some sage folk imagined they had solved the mystery when the name of an Indian shawl-maker appeared on the list of “tradesmen by appointment to the Queen,’’ some time ago. They were quite on the wrong scent. The real exp anation is that in 1846 a large tract of territory was ceded to the Maharajah of Jumnco, who, in consideration of the grant, under took to pay down seventy-five lacs of rupees and an annual payment ofmbree of the finest cashmere shawls.» If the pay- ments have been regular, it follows that the Queen must have received 150 shawls, a number quite sufficient to account for the targe part they play among Her Majesty's wedding presents

She Got the Place.

Pearzon’s Weekly tells a story of an

Irish domestic who obtained a situation

by the use of her national wit, under

somewhat unpromising conditions. She

had applied to Mrs. Van Nobbs for work as a cook, and Mrs. Van Nobbs asked:

‘How long did you live in your last place?”’

“Tree weeks, ma’am,’’ answered Bridg:t.

‘“*Why did you leave it so soon?’’

‘Ol cuddent git along wid the lady— she was so old and cranky.’

‘*But I may be old and cranky, said Mrs. Van Nobbs.

She was engaged on the spot.

The absurdity of the inversion of. the common-sense process strikes the American quite as much as its incon- venience and inefficiency, but the na- tives take it as a matter of course that the only way to keep a man from freez- ing ina railway caris to give him a foot-warmer. An English paper com- plains that the antiquated and trouble- some system of warming with watepr- pans is “still employed, especially on local and suburban lines, while on the other side of the channel, the French are becoming actually scientific in their car-heating methods. It appears that an innovation has been introduced en many of the French lines, to the

great satisfaction of the traveling pub, |

lic. It has been found that hydrated baryta is a better retainer of heat than the acetate of soda, hitherto employed in the foot-warmers on railway trains and omnibuses on the Continent. The acetate of soda can be superfused and remain liquid at a lower temperature than its fusing point, without render- ing back its heat; but the baryta never misbehaves in this way, and weigh} for weight with the acetate of soda, it stores up a larger quantity of heat. Its point of fusion is, moreover, higher than than of the acetate of soda. The difference in the power of retaining heat between the English “hot-water pan, andthe new French foot-warmer is shown by the fact that whereag a warmer containing water cooled from 100 degrees to 8) degrees Fahr., in about six heurs, the hydrated baryta pan took fifteen hours. In other words, the baryta pan remains hot twice the time that the water pan does. The pan is simply filled with the baryta once for all, and then sealed air-tight, Ip ig heated by plunging it in boiling water for a time, and is then ready for use,

The Telephone in the Fruit Indastry.

Farmers are generally looked upon as slow thinkers, but there can hardly be a better piece of testimony as to the intelligence of the agricultural com- munities of this country than the fact that they are largely adopting the tele- phone, not only for communicating with adjacent or distant villages and between themselves, but for receiving weather warnings and keeping in touch with the markets. In Michigan, for instance, in the center of the great peach-growing district, a telephone company has been organized by the farmers,and forty miles of wire are now in operation, with thirteen stations. The fruit growers find the seryice of immense value, Formerly, if the state of the market had to be ascertained, for the guidance of shippers, the fruit grower had to harness up, and ride into Hart. the central town, many miles away. Now, the farmer goes to his telephone, and in a few minutes knows what prices are ruling. In fact, much of the business which heretofore has required a trip to town is now trans- acted over the wire. The cost of the installation is said to have been small, and the system is to be extended with- in the next few months.

It Makes Such a Differonce,

A Linn Grove girl found a package of love letters that had been written to her mother by her father before they were married, says the Sioux Rapids Republican. The daughter saw that she could have a little sport, and read them to her mother, substituting her own name for that of her mother and a fine young man for that of her father. The mother jumped up and down in her chair, shifted her feet, seemed ter- ribly disgusted, and forbade her daugh- ter having anything todo with a young man who would write such sickening and nonsensical stuff toa girl. When the young lady handed the letters to her mother to read the house became so still that one could hear the grass growing in the back yard.

Brought Him Down.

‘“‘Here’s your money. Now tell me why your scoundrelly employer wrote me eighteen letters about that con- temptibie sum ?” said Hardpay.

“I’m sure I can’t tell, sir; but I think it was because seventeen letters didn’t bring it ?”

A Born Diplomat.

Charlie was caught nepping on porch of 1sammer resort. A pair little hands covered his eyes, anda sweet voice commanded: ‘Guess who if is.”’

Nothing very dreadful for Ci in this you think, but, then, you don’t know that Charlie was engaged to two girls, and for the life of him he conidn’t tell which girl it was, which made it a very embarrassing situation for Charlic. A wrong guess would lead to complications awful tothink of. Buta happy thought inspired Charlie, and he announeed: “it’s the dearest, sweetest little girl in all the world.”

“Oh, you lovely boy!” gurgled the sat isfied one, as she removed ber hands.

And now Charlie thinks of apply for a foreign ministry, feeling that his talents would be wasted in any other than the diplomatic field.

Japanese Sulphur Baths.

Inareport to the Royal Geogranhical society of an exploration of the Japanese Alps, the Rev. Walter Weston mentions an extraordicary indulgence in bathing among the native peasants. Remark ably hot sulphur springs exist in the range,and in one place, with water at about blood heat, a man would remain in the water practically a month ata time, simply taking the precaution to place a atone on his knees to keep from turning overin his sleep. A man of about 70, who has charge of the bath house at this place, himself remained in the bath the entire winter,

Choice Woods on the Farm.

There is money in the choice woods of the farm. A letter from a prominent New Jersey tool manufacturer offers $30 per 1,000 for beech seasoned one year and $50 for apple wood. Birch, maple, cher- ry, elm and hickory also sell for much more than they are worth at the wood- pile. The wood must be sawed in some shape and can be sold im a great many directions, principally for making plane and other tool handles.—Detroit House- ue?
