RAILWAY INSPECTOR'S STORY.
By JOHN T. PARTINGTON.
Copyright, !. br
"Some year ago It must be about
nlm? M.rs. Falrholme. who was then
Mlsa Ethel Vaugtain. became acquaint
ed with Reginald Sandtord, and. to
make the story short, they got to be
very fond of one another, and when he
asked her to become 'bis wife he con
sented, her. mother agreeing' 'to the en
casement, although Miss Kthel was not
then more than 1 years of age, for Mr.
Reginald was as good and handsome
a young man as ever lived, and they
eemed to be just made for one an
other. At that tinieMiss Bthel's fathnr
was In Australia. Hist business used to
take him to nearly all parts of the
world, and 'he was often away for a
long time, and It was when he was ab
sent that everybody was happiest, for
Imj was a hard, stern, cruel man. When
he oame home he objected to the en
gagement, imrtly. no doubt, because
Mr. Regtmild's father wasn't rich then
as he has become since. ind wasn't a
baronet, but was plain Mr. Sandtord.
But the main reason seemed to be fhat
he had found another husband for Miss
Kthel a Mr. Stanley Falrholme, the
son of a wealthy merchant, and from
"Yes, Us Did," Replied Sir Philip.
Aat transpired afterward, it appears
sat he was under some obligation to
lis young man. and it was a bargain
between them that Miss Kthel should
toecome his wife. I needn't tell you all
the details, but Miss Kthel and Mr.
Reginald ware both shamefully de
ceived, and 'Mies Kth-1 was ultimately
led to believe that Mr. Reginald had
been killed In a railway accident In
America, The end of it all was that,
almost wearied out of her life by a long
continued daily persecution, and be
lieving 'Mr. Reginald to be dead, Miss
Ethel married Mr. Falrholme. and
found out. a fortnight afterward, how
basely she had been deceived. She was
never the same bright girl again that
he had been before the trouble began.
Her husband, although not a good man.
was not unkind to her. He loved her
In his way, and she, having married
h'.m. tried to be a good wife to htm.
But they had no tastes in comrnon, and
gradually drifted farther apart, and
about two years ago he fought a duel In
Paris, and was killed. Two children
have been born to them: Frank, who is
now missing, and who bears a strong
resemblance to his mother, and Nellie,
wlue Illness was the cause of Frank's
Journey. Mrs. Falrholme has never
seen Mr. Reginald since her marriage,
and I am sure she has no more Idea
than I had that he Is living In North
Wales. And It Is quite likely that he
does not know that her husband Is
dead."
While Mrs. Ii wards had been speak
ing an Idea had entered my mind which
decided me as to my next step. And
In a very short time I was again on my
way to Mastyn, as fast as a lumber
ing ballast train which had happened to
be at the station, about to start for Ban
gor could carry me.
"Hughes," I said to the station-master,
on arrrlving at Mastyn, "how many
little children has .Sir Philip Sand
ford V
"Three or four, I'm not sure which,"
was the reply. "He's been married
twice, you see. Mr. Reginald and Miss
Constance, who stayed at home, are
the children of the first wife, and the
others are the children of the present
wife, who is much younger than Sir
Philip, but a very nice lady. Teg,
sure."
"And how many children were there
In the party last night?"
"I think there were three Inside the
carriage and one outside."
"I'm going to drive up to the hall,
Hughes; I suppose I can get a trap at
the hotel T'
"Yes; but It's a long drive eight
miles, as I told you, at least."
I made my way to the hotel, and en
iragod a light two-wheeled dog-cart to
take tne to the hall, and a man to show
tne the way. While they were being
got ready I partook of a hurried and
rather late lunch. In a short time I
was on my way to the hall at a brisk
rate.
I enjoyed the drive Immensely. The
horse was a good one, the roads were
hard and dry, and air- was clear and
bracing, and the scenery through which
we passed was of an extremely interest
ing character. Added to aFI this, the
excitement of the chase was upon me,
and I felt my blood coursing through
my veins more quickly than It was
wont to do, as I told myself for the
twentieth time that I should find the
object of my search safe and sound at
Rhydowen Hall.
The hall was vlslts for a full mile
before I reached It It was most de
lightfully sitauted on the slope of a
wooded hill, ami was approached from
the highroad by a rattier king carriage
drive.
I left the conveyance at the lodge
rates, waflklng up to the hall, and told
the footman that I wished to speak to
Sir Philip for a few minutes on an Im
portant matter of railway business. I

was shown Into a luxuriously furnished
room, and there Sir Philip soon Joined
me. He was a man if splendid phy
sique and with a kindly face a tine
specimen of a country gentleman. I
hud several times seen him before,
when he had been traveling by train,
and my face was evidently not un
familiar to him.
"Good day to you. Inspector; sit
down," he said, as he entered, and
courteously beckoned e to a chair. "I
think you want to see me on railway
business."
"Yea. Sir Philip," I said; "a boy dis
appeared very mysteriously last nkht
when traveling from Rhyl to CYinnah's
ljuay by the 6.54 express, which starts
from Bangor at 6.U0. and I have been
Instructed to trace him. I understand
you traveled by the same train, which
stopped specially at Mostyn to set you
dmwn. Will you kindly tell tne whether
by any means the boy got up to the hull
In the carriage which met you at the
station?"
"Yes. he did." replied Sir Philip, "and
he Is here now. safe ami sound, and, ap
parently, quite happy."
I was Immensely relieved. My quest
was ended at last.
"I am very glad. Indeed, to hear
that," I said, "and the boy'a mother
wllJ be more thankful than I can tell
you. . Can he return with me at once?"
"Well. I'm not sure that he can." re
plied the baronet. "You may see him,
of course, but I don't want you to take
htm away at present. I'll tell you why.
My eldest son was thrown from his
horse yesterduy, and. strange as it may
seem to you. I believe the little fellow
is doing lilm more good than the doctor.
His Christian mwne he tells us Is Frank,
but he does not speak some words very
distinctly, und we cannot quite make
out his surname, although you are no
doubt aware of it. He was not at all
dlsconcerned to rind himself In a
strange house last night. He.seemed to
think it was the place he was intended
to come to. He roamed about the house
quite freely; a bit too freely we thought
at first, for he got into my son's room,
walked up to the bed, and placed his
hand on my son's. We- were all sur
prised at the effect. My son, who was
In a state of semi-consciousness, looked
at him iixeJIy for a moment or two,
and then, with a strength we had not
thought he still possessed, raised him
self on his right elbow, leaned for
ward in bed. and smothered the boy's
face with kisses. Then he sank back
exhausted. It was all so sudden and
unexpected that we were fairly start
led. And ever since then he has seemed
not to be able to bear the boy away
from him. If he only feels the little
fellow's hand in his, or touching hie
face or head, he Is calm and content,
but if the hand is withdrawn he be
comes agitated and restless. You will
readHy understand, therefore, that I
am very unwilling to part with the
boy Just at present. But you con see
him, and telegraph to. his mother that
you have done so, and that he is all
right And now, Just one question
can you tell me who is ithe boy's
mother?"
"Yes. Sir Philip," I replied, "her name
Is l airholme. Her name before mar
riage was Vaughan Ethel Vaughan;
and I have heard today, although she
has not told me herself, that she was
at one time engaged to your son."
"I thought as much I thought as
much," said Sir Philip, pacing the room
excitedly; "and is her her husband
with her'.'-
Her husband died two years ago," I
said; and, lightly or wrongly, I felt con
siderable pleasure in giving the In
formation. .
I could see that the baronet was con
siderably relieved by this announce'
ment. lie locked Into the Are medita
tively for a moment or two, and then
aid: "May I ask you to convey a mes
sage from me to Mrs. Falrholme? Tell
her I am most anxious her boy should
not leave here at present. No doubt,
however, she Is equally anxious to see
Mm and sat Iffy herself that he is really
safe and sound. -As the boy cannot go
to her, ask hr to come here to him.
Ask it as a favor to myself, end for
the welfare of my son."
"Ve.-y well. Sir Philip." I replied, "I
will convey ycur message with all pos
sible speed. But.I am anxious to know
haw the boy happened to get up to the
hall. Do you m'nd telling me how you
acnturt fcr 1f"
" Well. In view of what you have told
rue sl:ice you csme here, I don't mind
saying that I believe K was a providen
tial arrangement. At flrnt none of us
?ould understand, it. We were simply
dumfouMled .vhen the little fellow
walked Imo the house among us last
night, sr.d quMly proceeded to take off
his overcoat, and make himself at
home. In our nr.xlety about my son,
however, he was left unquestioned for
some little tlrr.e, except by the children,
who io.in became.' quite friendly with
him. Later on, we questioned him, but
he could tell us nothing except that
my wife was 'nurse,' and that his
mother had sent him to live with her
until Nellie was better, and Nellie we
ui'derstc'od to be his sister.
"We knew the boy had not been In the
carriage with us. so we questioned Will
iam, the coachman, and he said the boy
rode on the box with him. The station
master placed him there, Williams says.
To Have Posad My Boy!" She Cried.
William knew that the hoy waa not
one of ours, but thought that as we had
been visiting some relatives, we had
brought on of itheir ohttldren back with
us, end therefore he raised no question,
and on arrival here lifted the boy down,
and he passed In to the house with the
rest of the children." .-;'
"I think It ta all quite clear now, Sir
Philip." I aaid, "and the explanation of
what seemed a very mysterious disap
pearance is. after all, aimple one.'
"I feel that I have failed in one
thing,", aid the baronet; "I ought to
have sent word to the station In antici
pation of Inquiries being made for the
boy. But last night we were all upset

could fully realise the position of af
fairs. And then, as you know, the dis
tance to the station is rather considera
ble. So the duty was left until this
morning, and this morning there have
been difficulties of various kinds which
have prevented me from sending a mes
enger to the station until about an hour
ago, when a man started. You would
probably meet him on the way. And
now you must have some refreshment,
and then the sooner you get the news
and my message to Mr. Falrholme the
better for all concerned."
In a very short time I was driving
back to the station, feeling. I need hard
ly say, considerable satisfaction at the
success which had ait last attended my
efforts to recover the lost boy. I was
Just in time to cat oh a train to Rhyl,
and at the end of another half-hour I
waa turning into the little garden-path
leading to the front dour of No. 2 Col-wyn-villas.
The door was thrown open before I
reached it, and .M. s. Faliiholme, Airshed
ami eager, stood before me, and glanced
anxiously for one moment Into my face.
"You have found my boy!" she cried;
"I see It In your face! oh! 1 am so
thankful. Come in and tell me all about
It."
One of my most precious possessions
Is a large photograph of a bright, hand
some, fenrless-lonklng boy. dressed In a
Little Lord Fauntleroy suit, and carry
ing a London and Northwestern Rail
way company's time-table In his hand.
The photograph Is most handsomely
framed, and hangs In my best room at
home. In the drawer of a small cabinet
In the same roos Is a letter, also very
li'ghly valued, which reads as follows
"iv.ir Mr. Barnes: I want you to be
good enough to accept from me the oc
companyltut photograph of my boy, as
a memento of your successful search
for him on the occasion which you, no
doubt, so well remember. My husband
and I shnll always feel that we owe
you a debt of gratitude for the Interest
you took In his recovery. I need hardly
tell you that we are thankful, also, for
the indirect results of what I regarded
at the time as a most unfortunate oc
currence. We often say that we be
lieve It was God's 'way of bringing us
together again. I may at least say this
to you, for you know something of the
romance of our lives. And be assured
that In my husband and myself you will
always have friends who will be 'glad
to do all that they ran to promote your
welfare. Believe me. very gratefully
yours, "Bthel Sandtord."

The Ink used in printing the Bank of
England notes was formerly made from
grape stone charcoal, but now It is
manufactured from naphtna smoke.
A large wire nail mill has been com
pleted by the Grand Crossing Tack
company, of Chicago, III., and the ma
chinery Is now being placed in position.
When in full operation this mill will
have a capacity of 1.2U0 kegs of wire
nails a day. ,
The Franklin Steel Casting company,
of Franklin, Pa., was organized re
cently. A site for the plant will be se
lected and work on the buildings be
gun at once. The company will man
ufacture an automatic star coupler and
other railway supplies.
One of the longest, if not the longest,
wire span In the world 1s stated to be
the telephone wire crossing the Wallen-
Bee in Switzerland. This wire is 7.850
feet king and la supported 130 feet above
the water by two supports on shore,
fastened to the rock, one 425 feet and
the other 1,180 feet above the level of
the lake.
Aluminium is being employed for gen
eral clarifying purposes in German
breweries in the form of ' corrugated
strips. These strips are aald to have
the advantages over wood shavings
that they are non-absorbent and can
be readily cleaned and are, therefore,
hyglenically preferable, while their
efficiency is considered quite equal to
wood shavings.
A new air-brake for electric cars Is
being brought out by two Chicago In
ventors. The principal novelty is the
use of a reciprocating electric motor
to compress the air, the motor taking
its current from the line wire. An au
tomatic out-out is provided, bo that the
pump works only when the air pres
sure Is reduced. The reservoir contains
air enough to make several applications
of the brake.
Bar Iron is a scarce article In eastern
markets, praticularly In Philadelphia.
Prices have advanced about $8 a ton
over the lowest point reached. Even
at that figure buyers can not get
enough to meet the requirements, al
though mills are running to their full
capacity, and many mills that were Idle
six months ago are now in full opera
tion. Plates and sheets show a still
greater advance and command (10 to
112 more money than they did six
months ago.
The demand for structural material,
especially in Pittsburg, is very strong.
The mills there are sold way ahead and
will take no additional orders except
for extended deliveries. Work Is now
practically suspended on a new bank
building, because the mill making the
material can not supply It at present.
The structural mills admit that never
In their history have they been so over
run with orders, and that, although
they are working night and day. It is
Impossible for them to come near fill
ing' the orders on time.
The demand for charcoal Iron Is
steadily growing, the activity of oar
works, railroad shops and malleable
Iron works, of course, being responsible
for It. The Rome ((la.) Iron company,
which recently Increased wages 1.0 per
cents., has Its output for three months
engaged. Several charcoal furnaces In
Wisconsin and Minnesota also report
plenty of orders on hand. One of the
leading charcoal furnace companies In
Wisconsin has recently advanced the
price of its Iron 11 a ton.
NECESSITY OF A REASONABLE TARIFF
From the Pittsburg Times.
In the Ideal world, which never was and
never will bn while there are taxes to pay
and two parties to a commercial trangHC
4lon, a iarlff may be unnecessary. In
this practical era a reasonable tariff has
proven the most satisfactory plan of pro
viding the money to run the government.

STOCKS AND PONDS. '
New York. Aug. 1!. The general ex
pectations in stock circles at the close
of last week was that If the govern
ment crop report Issued on Saturday
proved favorable the markets for secur
ities would show considerable activity
and strength today. On the contrary,
a very quiet condition of affairs pre
vailed and siecultloii presented few
features of Interest. The total sales
wore only 142.1M6 shares. After a fairly
steady oienlng and an advance of to
tier cent, in prices, the bears made
a series of raids under which the im
provement was lost. Around midday
a rise In Reading from 17 to WV,
steadied the general market for a short
time, but later on prices again yielded.
As compared with 'the highest figures
of the morning, Chicugo Gas and Man
hattan declined 14; Ilurlington and
yulncy, m, and other shares only to
I per rent. The dealings In stocks were
largely professional, and the leading op
erators appeared to be taking little In
terest In the dealings, being apparent
ly willing to see the short interest in
creased. Final quotations wore to
above the lowest, and speculation
closed steady In tone.

tive stocks of the New York stork mar

" Labor.' The painful 01 deal of childbirth
is robbed of its terrots, and the dangers
thereof greatly lessened, to both mother and
child. The period of confinement is also
greatly shortened, the mother strengthened
and built up, and an abundant sccutiou of
nourishment for the child promoted.

got two bottles last
September, and De
cember l.llh I had a
twelve pound baby
girl. When I was

did not slider any
pain, and when the
child was born 1 walk

and went to bed. 1

very cold but I did not take any cold, and
never bad any after-pain or any other pain.
It was all due to God and Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription and Compound Kxtruct
of Smart-Weed. This is the eighth living
child and the largest of them all. I suf
fered everything that flesh could suffer with
the other babies. I always had a doctor
and then be could not help me very much,
but this time my mother and my husband
were Blone with me. My baby was only
seven days old when I got up and dressed
and left my room and stayed up all day."
