She says she won't go away until she sees you.’ Hanby looked at Smucker, and sighed. The secretary—he had chosen this designation himself—was a small, thin an with an active Adam's ap ple, who despised tact as something beneath him. Hanby had often set out for his offices in Leonard street with the Intention of letting Smucker x0, and of replacing him with a neat, efficient girl; but invariably some sixth sense informed Smucker of his danger. Invariably he wonld speak of his vast responsibilities, of nis large family, of his invalid father, of the house he was buying oo the installment plan, and of the ravages of insects In his little garden. A neat. smiling, and efliclent girl would have known that her employer and would have found out visitor's errand was, smiling, wis husy, what the “What Hanby, Stone does she want?" inquired alr Ctherwise | you, Mr. Han assumed his superior ner “She wonldn't informed say. should bave by." “What “1 suspect you a Hunby brightened. “That's easy.

He wasted a lot of office time dreaming of what he would do when he was in power, “Madam, 1 have persuaded the boss to see you,” he said loftily, Then he Jumped back. “That black dog nearly bit me!” “1 can rely on his instinets,” she sald, “You stand convicted as one whotn no woman should trust. Do aot attempt to deny it, and don't move your throat in that impudent man ner” She swept ployer's room. If he had expected youth or beauty, Hianby was disappointed. It was a tall, gaunt old woman who faced him He Judged that some day, now long distant, she had been beautiful. He could see that she was richly dressed, and that the jewels she wore were costly. There was a look of tragedy in her smoldering dark eyes, “I'm afraid you were kept waiting,’ Hanby began pleasantly, “l have been kept waiting for thir. ty years,” she sald. “At least you cannot blame me for that,” He observed that ber eyes were fixed on the photographs of the house he had made arrangements to the dogs,” sald tent ivaie something out, past him Into his em card.” “My name is Selenos,” she sald. “Selina?” Hanby asked. “Selenos, Selenos,” she repeated. “It you were a Calories, & would The Mystery of a Haunted Mansion —- By -— Wyndham Martyn W.

Pausing a moment, he opened the door, as the signal bell had com- manded him Apparently the strange an was placing under a comprehensive curse Hanby and all that was his. Smucker gathered that his employer was one of a band of hardened men whose entire energles were expended in keeping Miss Sele- nos from the Gray house, “You go there at your peril!” she shouted. “l accept the quite unruffled. “My vengeance she added. “Delightful I” Hanby shall the friends prophesy.” Smucker, was always nervous the of unusual violence, almost admired Hanby for his calm. “This way, madam,” sald Smucker.

When railway beds have been made as neariy perfect as possible; when the lines have been straightened and as far as practicable leveled, and when the hest types of locomotives and cars have been devised, how fast will steam be able to earry us? An answer to this question, based on a scientific examination of the conditions involved, Is furnished by an authority on facts relating to rail roads. Cue hundred miles an hour is about the limit of speed suggested, Another very important question growing out of the first is: Within what distance can a traln running 100 miles an hour, or but little less than 150 feet a second, be stopped? The reply is that under the most favor. half a mile would be required. A train running a mile a minute can be stopped, It is estimated, within a dis. tance of 900 feet. By adding only two-thirds to the speed, therefore, the distance required for bringing the train to a standstill would be in creased almost three times, It is evident that when we are of 100 miles an hour “a clear track” will become a far more Important ne. cessity even than it Js today, In Spirit of Love in old gardens ls the outward evi they were made~Woman's | Companion, get a few minutes sleep, to be gone /5500N Nervousness, Nervous Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, “~._~ Neurasthenia Dr. Miles Medical - Bicycle whether you buy from Jf your Local Dealer or | from us direct.
