A DYNAMITE STORY-
"l'opn, wlio 18 tuo Blrnngor I saw
in tho library just now! I In was Inlk
ing to your ptcrctrtry, Mr. 'Winclicll, ai
it ho woru qtuto at home, Buld Diiay
CI burn, windinj ouo plump, whito
arm atotind lior talhcr't) neck, as sbo
pcrutivd liursclf on tho arm of his ohair,
Thoao who know Silaa Clybum only
as s busin bs man, proaident of several
railroadB, director in a ecoro of other
corporatiotm and a shareholdur in
every paying coLcern in the Btato,
would have been amazed to sco how
easily this fragile girl bont to her will
tbo stony hearted, iron handed man,
"His namo is Ojborno Palmor," re
plied tho eldir Clyburne, gazing affec.
ticnately ot his idol.
"I didn't ask yon what his name is;
I ask who he 1b' And is that tho way
you dare to auawcr my questions, girt"
and as she Bpoku DaiBy playfully
pit ohed one of bis ears.
"Uuehl You little lDtiuisillvo tor
ment! Well, to bo explicit, Mr. Pal
mer is to bo ouo of my under secre
taries. Ho is to to assist Mr. Vin-
cbcll."
"Cotnc, oiaie, elrl that hesitation
shows that you nro tryiug to h'ldo
something; I want the truth, tho
whole, truth, and nothinc but the
truth."
"Perhaps you remember that a fow
weeks aao you and your mother exact
ed from in-j tbo promise that I would
never again, under any eireumsUnccs,
open the packages which might como
to mo by mail or express."
' Of oourso wo dirll If thoso
wretchc-B would tend you u dynamite
bomb once, they might do it more suc
cessfully again; it was by a mere
chanco that the thing was out of order
and did not blow ui all up,'' roplicd
Daisy with a shudder.
'Not one ot tuo servants ha9 courage
enough to do it for me; Mr. Wincbell
has a family, and since ottr recent ex
periences no has no taste for the task;
bo I have employed this young Palmer,
whose special business it will bo to
open ray parcels."
'Oh. papa, why should ho take tho
risk of bis life! lie is so so young,
mavbe he has a molboil"
"No, nor 1 Bister, nor any near rela
tive. Ho is highly educated and well
born, but being unfortunate in business,
and therefore jilted by a heartless girl,
bo reeolved to put au end to an unhap
py life. He procured a quantity of
laudanum, but decided that it was un
certain, and bo Eliot himself in tho
bead. Either his hand swerved or his
aim was uncertain, for tho wound
proved to be only serious not fatal.
lie was taken to a hospital, and as tho
letter ho had written for post mortem
purposes proved that the shooting was
intentioual, ho was in dancer of arrest
and trial for attempted self mnrder.
"Learning ot tbo auair, 1 was struck
with an idea and so used my influence
in liiB behalf, and there was no arrebt.
Hu placed no value on hia life, and 60
readily accepted the position I offered
him. Ho came the very day after you
and your mother went to your grand
mother's to spend Thanksgiving, and
Mr. Wincheli tells me that ho is of
great assistance to him, especially in
my largo foreign correspondence. Ho
is a gentleman born, so ho is to livo
with us as a member ot our tamiiy,
Hnd I waut you to givo your cousin
Bortha aThint that while she is with us
we hopo sbo will bo courtoous to him.
I am very fond of Bertha, my dear,
but I can seo that sho is just the least
bit snobbish like her lather. Uhed
Jenuees is an inbred snob!"
Tho famous Kilkenny oats might
well liavo been named Silas Clyburno
and Obed Jennets, for these two men
wero continually fighting, tooth and
nail. If ono could thwart .a scheme of
the other it was rare spoit to him, but
retaliation was sure to como in some
heart searching wav. As they had
married sisters and theie was con
stant intercourse between their wives
and daughter?, they outwardly main
tained an armed neutrality.
"Uoodness gracious, Daisy, do you
know who Uncle Silas has in his em
ploy nottl" cried Bertha Jenness to
her oousin when sue, too, nau seen the
young package opener.
"Yes, he told mo all about him just
a few moments ago. Poor fellow! He
has a romautio and sad history," ro
plied Daisy, and then went on to re
late what wo already know about Oj
bon o Palmer.
Bertha listened attentively with a
peculiar smile hovering around her
thiu, soulless lips, and when tho story
was conuluded the said with a shrug ot
her shoulders, "Very romantic, I ad
mit, but what a tool he wad"
'-Ob, no, Bertha! Doubtless bis
troubles had tempi rarily turned hia
brain, yet surely ho is to be pitied."
"1 am not so sura that ho is not
now but tell me, Daisy, did yon ever
hear me speak of a young cavalier I
bad who used to deluge rae with roses
and choice bonbons until his fortune
vanished and then showered on mo
tender versos of his own composition!"
Oh yes, and how I enviod you for
having a real poet at your feell But
where is ho row' Does ho still scud
you pot met''
'Doggerel, you meanl No, I hopo
not. In Osborne Palmer, your father's
clerk, you behold the man!
"No, Not really? Isn't that odd!
And now that ho has come to life
again, bo to Bpeak, the lovely romance
will begin all over again," said Daisy,
with a taint shado of regret in her
voice.
Each of these cousins had something
the other lacked; Bertha was ono of a
largo family, and how Daisy wishod
that she too might have ono or two
brothers, or one or two dear little
midgets of sisters. But Bertha ro
garded theeo younger ones as ohan
ucls where a largo sharo of her father's
money must go, while Daisy was tho
sole and idohzod hoir in her home.
Then, too, tJertha had so many
lovers and Daisy so fewl To be sure,
tho formor, over eager for attention,
met them fully half way, whilo tho
modest little flower watted quietly for
nottco or attention.
Of oourso it was not now at all
surprising that Osborno Palraor wns
Boon mado quite at home in tho Cly
burno mansion. Ho and Bertha had
ono day a long and confidential oon
versatton, anu anor that tiiero was no
restraint in their intercourse
it, nowover, no wroto any raoro
verses on his lady'B eyelids, Bertha
neither spoke of nor exhibited thein,
About thl time thoro appcarod in
tho social firmament whoro tho Cly
burnfB sparkled a now star of groat
magnitude, neither moro nor less than
a genuine sprig of British aristocraoy;
ho was poor, to be sure, but ho was
unmarried, and moro than ono manag
ing mamma was quito ready to ex
ohango her daughter's ducats for a
sharo of his lordship a titlo.
And Silas Clyburne, aa ambitions as
Lucifer, mado up his mind that it
should not be bia fault if tho young
man wero not attracted by his Daisy.
Thereupon ensued a series of entertain
ments of all sorts; Clvbtirno bertan
none of thorn, but ho gavo tho last of
each series, for so much moro costly
was his dinner or ball, o theatre
party, or luncheon, or gayotv of any
sort, that no one vontured to succeed
lnra.
"Papa," said Daisy lo him ono ovo-
liing as hojohanced to bo alone in tho
library for a few momonts, "I havo a
pieco of news for you."
How his heart lumnodl Tho for.
oigu fish had certainly boon swimming
rounu nnd rouud the bait on tbo Uly
burno hook; was ho roally going to
nibble!
"Well, my darling, what is it!"
"Did you know or suspect that ray
cousin Bertha was tho girl for whom
Mr. Palmer was willing to throw away
ma liter
"No! You don't mean it! Well,
woll, I am surprised. Heartless little
jade that girl is, anyway; just like
her father. '
"Oh, papa, you do her injustice.
Sho did discourage him then, because
well, because he was poor, but, of
course, sho never dreamed ho would
tako it so to heart."
"And, of course, sho know her
father would frown on any such
match!"
"Of course, rich men don't liko to
see their daughters wed poverty.''
"Uh, that b nonsense, my uoar; any
father of senso will look first at the
oharacter and capabilities of bis
daughter's lover, and if they aro all
right tho purse is secondary. Aa for
Osborne Palmer, I asuro you my dear,
I havo watched him closely sinco he
has been here, and I consider him a
very fine 'sllow. Of course hia would
bo suicide is agaiust him, but I'vo
como to tho conclusion that worry and
starvation had made him about two
thirds crazy."
"Do you think a girl would
"Bo lucky to marry him! Yes, I
do, and if you know of any girl that
thinks of doing so now, hush.
my dear, don't speakl Don't tell me
anything! I havo a very particular
reason for not wanting to know any
thing you tell her or him, or both of
thom, that to save all fuss or awkward
ness I, if I wero him or her, would Blip
off quietly and bo married."
"But, papa dear, do you really moan
that you would forgive"
"Thero'a no question of forgiveness.
You just tell Osborno what I have
said, and if ho haa tho senso I givo
him credit for he will understand me."
At this moment Palmer himself
came into the room. Tho conversa
tion terminated abruptly.
b or some days thereafter Mr. (Jly-
burne waa so good natured, so almost
genorous, that every ono observed it;
his fellow directors and associates
nudged ono another and said: "Now's
your timo to talk to Ulyburno on audi
and such a project;" "and his clorks
whispered: "How queer Mr. Clyburno
soems! Wonder if he's going to diet"
Joe tntimato inend, a venturcsomo
fellow, had tho hardihood to say:
"What tho mischief has como over
you lately! I never know you to bo so
gonial. Whom have you fleeced this
week!
'Ob, I'yo got such a rich thing on
Obed Jenness! replied Clyburne, chuck
ling to himself for tho thousandth time.
"Didn't cost rao anything but a little
advice cheapest thing in tho world,
you know. He oau't get ahead of mo
on tbis score!"
The friend didn t mention thia to
any but ten ot hia most intimate
fnends, and as they wore equally bo
oretive it did not take long to set
every man on tho 'Change to Blyly
watching Ubed Jenness. They natural
ly sunnosed that Ulvburno referred to
things financial, not matrimonial.
Bertha visited Daisy quite often
about that time, and Mr. Clyburne
lost no ohauco of publicly insistiug
that liertha muBt sond lor her "things"
and remain tho roat of tho week with
Daisy.
Uno morning, during a visit a serv
ant camo to Mr. Clyburno as ho sat at
breakfast and tremblingly said:
"Mass' Clyburne, Bib, Miss Daisy
am t in ncr room, saui
"No! Gono for a walk, I suppose."
"1 I's feared not, Bah. An' an'
Miss Bertha done gouo too."
"1 bey 11 probably bo hero soon.
Keep boh 3 coffee hot for tli6m."
"B but, Bah, Mary sho say as how
do beds nin t bon slop in.
"Neither of them!'' asked Mr. Cly
burno, a littlo anxious.
"N no Bah; an' yur's a note Mary
foun' in Miss Daly's room." added
tho man, handing a tiny on vclopo to hia
master, but standing aa tar from h
e, tho width of tho silver salver and
tho extent ot bis long arm would per
mit.
Mr. Clyburno opened tho noto oalm
ly; ho Buspected that he knew what
was in it; ho merely glanced at tho
first lines:
"uarnng rapa mis is to toll you
that Mr. Palmer is about to act on
your advice; Bertha and I are to meet
him at Dr. ' at 11 o'clock to-night, for
wo think it best to havo a friendly
witness to such a matter.
"Ha, ha, ha!" laughed ho heartily, to
tho Burprise and delight of hia alarmed
servant. "I understand It now. Miss
Daisy will bo homo pretty Boon, but it
is not necessary to givo any bint of
this little affair to your mistress. Sho
haa a sovoro headache and it will only
worry her. Send Mary hero.'
Mary quiokly appeared, for Silas
Clyburno was a terror to evil doers,
and she, too, waa cautioned to ailcnco
and her fears allayed.
Silent I les, truly thoy would bo
very silent, especially when each of
them received a $20 bill with the ro.
mark, "III give you aa much moro
you will over again bring mo such
good news.
"Ani no-," said ho to hirasolf.
ai
he was 011 hia way down town, "how
Ixst to break tho nows to my dear
friend Obed! Ha, ha, ha, How ho
will rago and fume! Wonder what I'd
best say. Guees I'll just hand him
Daisy's noto to mo and watch his faco
whilo ho roads it. By tho way, I
havn't road it myself."
Drawing tho noto from hia pocket
ho began to road: " 'At Dr. 'b,' urn,
I'vo road that, um, um 'such a derd,
and who can bo n better ono than a
cousin? Bertha goes homo to-night.'
Oh, pshaw, then the fun is over. But
what is this! 'I go with my husband.'
Why, why, what 'Your loving
daughter, soon to bo Daisy Palmer.
Am 1 crazy I
JNo, ho was not crazy. In his creed
to work a mischief to hia enemy ho
had not allowed hia daughter to ex
plain that it waa she, not Bertha, with
whom Udborno rainier was in love.
Ho jumped to tho conclusion that she
was referring to Bertha all tho time.
and, lol ho had dono as tho wicked
often do; ho had himself fallen Into
tho pit ho had so carefully digged for

The Reading Railroad System-

Prom a recent article in Frank LrMUt miatrau

Considered in tbo light ot its rela
tions to tho great commercial interests
of the world, no lino of American rail
ways is moro comprehensive, aud few
so far-reaching in their vast ramifica
tions as the Philadelphia and Reading
iiauway system, its lines direct or alli
ed, reach every nook and corner of the
great sta'.o of Pennsylvania, and tako
wiilau their mighty scope the great
cities of tho country, and by direct
connections reach ono hundred and
niuety-throo summer resorts situated
11 the Eastern, Middle, and southern
States.
It is not so much the propose of tbis
article to treat of tho Philadelphia and
Heading Hailroad as tho great pro
ducer of coal (for that is conceded aud
pretty well known) as it is to present
to the traveling publio its unsurpassed
passenger facilities.
Mho Philadelphia and Heading Rail
road controls over 1,057 miles of toad-
way, which is laid with 90 pound steel
rails, and for tho most part stone ballast.

Whilo this road waa among tho last to

Tho Philadelphia and Reading Rail-

management, has succeeded m build

most attractivo routes to tho various

rapid ferry-boats from Philadelphia,
From thia point to the sea the routo is

Whoro so rauoh picturosquoness of
Bceuery abounds aa is reached in
tour of Pennsylvania by tho Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad ilia no easy
task to single out any particular sceno
as tho most beautiful. Beginning with
beautitul Falrraount Park, tho train
follows along tho Schuylkill and Sus
quohanna Rivers, on eaoh side of
which the eye rests upon ever changing
scencs-now a tan mountain in tho dis
tanoe, then a boautiful valloy, with tho
rivers over iu tho foraground. Hero

alsoDy tho way of Allentown with tho
Central Railroad of Now Jersoy to
Phillipburg, forming tho Poughkeep

indeed, a most important connection of
tho Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
aud ono whioh haa only been rco3ntly
opened up to tho publio. Passengers
can take through trains via this routo
to Boston without ohango. Tho day
trains havo Pullman bullot-cars, and
Blccpers on tho night trains. This is
tho only direct routo 10 Boston with
out ohango of any kind, and passes
through tho very garden spot of Con
necticut and Massachusetts, tho timo
cousumcd being only fourteen hours.
Passengers from Philadelphia can con
nect with these' trains at Slatington
from tho Twenty-fourth and Chestnut
Street or Ninth and Qrccn Stroot do-
pots, and there aro also direct through
trains for Boston from theso depots
daily. This route has bcoomo very
popular with travelers from tho West
ank South, as it does away with tho
annoyance of oroasiug to Now York
City by ferry and makingtconnoctiona
at tho Grand Central Depot, which
some times aro not always to bo mado.
At Newberry Junction, just abovo

Reading Railroad connects with the
Fall Brook Coal Company's railroad to
Corning, N. Y., for points oast and
west. It also connects with tho Now
York, Lake Erio and Western Rail
road for tho east and west. It also
connects with tho Now York Central
and Hudson River Railroad at Lyons,
N. Y., for points oast and West, aa
well as tho Beoch Creek Railroad for
points in tho Clearfield coal region.
Tho iteading Uompany ia making
improvements all along tho lino of its
road. It is widening all tunnels ro
placing all wooden bridges with Bub-
tantial slono and iron structures, and
relaying tho road with 00-pound steel
rails and stone ballast. JNow and im
proved looomotives aro also boing con
structed, and tho rolling stock improv
ed whoro it is necessary.
In short, tho now management has
sot out to placo tho Reading Railroad
where it should have been ycara ago
in tho front rank 01 American railways
and if brains and money can accom
plish this, tho futuro of Tho Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad is indetd
promising.

tho sparks in all directions, setting fire
to tho thatched roofs of tho houses
whioh stood in two long rows, forming
tho main stroot. All was bo sudden
and the peoplo woro so dumbfounded
that for a little timo thoy could not
