Seth was gaining, now the others shot

A bullet from Seth's steady hand passed

held the regulator.

Tom looked ahead. A weird light was
playing on tho track, a halo of unearthy ap

will-o'-the wisp. It was a ghastly white
mist a ghostly warning.
What can it be?' said Tom, his supersti

It's a light, that's all,' said Seth, with a
fiendish grin. I know it, though j I've seen
it before. There's somebody underneath

'Gently, mate j gently ; let them go on a

passed half the distance in the direction of
the light, a loud crash was beard aud amid
screams of human agouy the trestle bridge
sank down down gently, slowly, but sure

The French in Cyprus.
Tlie Diflculty of llnltiling a Railway In China.
Although Cyprus offers such excellent in-
lucements lor any one with a little capital
and some knowledge of farming, ns far as I
could learn none of the so-called French
colony tin the Island havo ever turned their
attention to cultivation of tho land. They
prefer being what they term dam let offtiirei
in business, as we would call it. This,
however, is a natural peculiarity. A French
man does not mind how many hours a day
he devotes to his office or counting house,
hut unless he was born an agricultural la
borer he dislikes beyond measure outdoor
work of all kinds. With Englishmen it Is
exactly the reverse. They hate and detest
confinement, but are always ready to under
take anything that gives them exercise in
the open air. I venture to say that if an
English or quasi-English colony existed in
Cyprus we should find that nine out of ten
of thoe who composed it would turn their
attention to farming, and would prefer a
comparatively small income earned out of
doors to a much larger one made at tho
desk. Not that kt affaires of our Cypriote
frieuds apuear to confine them much lo their
offices. They take life very easy. To'.begin
with, the "business" of the island, so far as
the Freiich colony Is concerned, does not
take much time to get over except at certain
seasons. It consists simply in making ad
vances of mouey to the agricultural classes,
and more particularly to those who onn
mulberry plantations, and who feed cocoons
or silkworms, for tho French market. The
security of the money thus advanced
has only one risk to run, that of had season,;
and when that happens the account is car
ried over to the following year. Hut when I
visited this island those who lent the cult!
vators money, realized, what between the in
terest upon the advauco, (which is never
less than 12, and often 18 and 24 per cent
per annum), the commission of sending the
cocoons to Marseilles, and the commission
of selling them there, about thirty per cent
per annum on their capital. And yet strange
to say, those who borrow seem to flourish
almost as much as those who lend,

Foreigners hold land In China by treaty

a strip of land embracing the old road, it
seemed reasonable to assume that if there
were interference with any construction
thereupon, the tenuro of every hong and oth
er piece of real estate iti Shanghai would be
affected, and the railroad projectors would
have the whole community at their back.

numerous and troublesome obstaclcs,such as
are not unknown In Western lands. Farm
ers claimed many times tho value of their
holdings for small corners; old women of
01 rihle aspect, and mistresses of the cholce-
est Chinese billlngfgate, cursed the en-
neer and tho interpreter by their false
gods, aud vowed that Confucius himself
ihould nut have an iota of their patrimony;
nd the defunct natives gave the most troub-
e of all. It should bo stated that in this
favortd land the rude forefathers of the ham
let who departed this life ara disposed of in
sundry aud promiscuous ways, according,ap-
arently, to the means of caprice or their
friends. Some are interred ; others, packed
n boxes, are deposited in the fields; and
thers, again, placed in barrel-like eartheru
re-eptaclts (happily described by 11 Hritish
c? r as 'jars of potted ancctlort, by Jove I
