country house of hi political friend, Sir
Uortre Howard. He brings his secretary
Mr. John Warrington, with him, a the
latter Is Informed aa 'to the subject of their
con t rence. and Is also wrttlutr a book on
bimetallism for Sir. Slarkham to sign. He
ulo holds views as & socialist. He be
comes unpopular In the house, especially
with -Miss Marlon Howard and the oung
people. Some of the boys bribe a rultiuu
to Ick a quarrel with Warrington, who
. ares the man off with a pipe case maa
uueraditiK as a revolver. Miss Howard in
mu eh amused at this, but resents War
i lug ton's Indifference to her. One dky lie
works later tliun usual in (hu study and
l:e tlnds him there while on her househuU
rounds. She Is very prettily dressed. atH
he thanks her fur opmlng- in. She takes
lilin tor timimiutlng that she hua come
to exhibit heraeir. He denies this, n.i a
further mildness prevails.
'PART It.
At last the lmok was finished. Mr.
Markham wus dcliirhted with the tone
nil argument, and signed his name
thereto with a flourish and without
noticing his secretary's look of quiet
contempt. Sllss Howard was Indignant
when she heurd of this: though the sl
nature really iiieuut much, InclinliiiK a
publisher. She bluined Mr. Murkliuiu
more' or less; lull WurriiiKtxii'x conduct
wus Inexcusable. He htid no spirit, she

hud to work for his UvIiik. and that she
cuuUt not Krasp the complex Influences
in work In such a mean scheme of ex
istence. She left him with unaffected
dlMKIISt.
Mr. .Marklium's visit was nearly over.
The lust evening htid come. A lance
ykuttntt party lind been Iniprovlstd.
All the guests except the secretary,
were on the Ice: a hike live miles over a
lonely moor. WurriiiRton wciu there,
too, but only to look on. He did not
care lo Join the skaters. They did not
care either. One, perhups but that
vim Id anticipate. As the evening; ad
vanced mow beiran to full. It cunie
Kently at Hist and the skaters enjoyed
It. It made them white and pictur
esque. It dulled the sharp ring of their
skates Into a mu tiled rumble us they
sped over the fast coatinK Ice, It clung
in ilHIiihtful little frosty filaments to
The eyelashes of the girls and whitened
the mustaches of the men. It was
(.'land. Then the snow king changed
hia mind suddenly. He sent forth his
tempest n ft moment. The little fleecy
tlakelets we're followed by blinding
drifts. Darkness covered the land and
nn Inibetitiable ' (niowfall tln skaters.
JiacliiK blindly for the lake shore they
found bank here and there In detached
Kioupn; sometimes three or four to
gether, hand-ln-hand; often one by one,
blinded, dazed, demoralized.
The secretary sat on a tree-stump by
the bank and watched, careless of his
snowy Jacket. The thing interested
him nothing,, wore. He told hlmxelf
that lie dl'il "not" care a straw If the
whole party, man. woman and child,
pei-lslied i'li "tile? drifts. Still he wait
ed persistently. He did not tell himself
for what. At last he arose. Just then
the muffled hum of a pair of skates
sounded far out on the ice. The sound
waxed louder and fainter alternately.
I.Ike the traveler in a primeval forest
who had lost his way, this skater was
moving In a circle. Let him circle
there till he perished. She must be
now well on the way to the castle. Hut
duty! Warrington put his two hands
to his mouth and sent a deafening shout
across tho Ice.- A faint cry answered
back. He shouted again to Indicate the
direction. Then he heard the sound
of skates plowing through the deepen
ing sniiw straight for him. The sound
swerved to the right.
'Tills way." Warrington roared from
the shore. "This way hang you:
In ten seconds Sllss Howard fell ex
hausted Into his arms. It was Impos
Klble to keep the snow off her. He
could only walcuntil she had recovered
breath, and theu without a word of
apology he took her up in his arms
and carried her Into the partial shel
ter of a belt of underwood. The cold
became Intense. Warrington soon now
t hat . before she had even recovered
strength the girl's circulation was run
ning- down. She must be kept niovliftj
or she would freeze to death. She vvus
already half asleep. Fortunately he had
a small flask of brandy that the house
keeper at the 'Cast le. who tool: pity on
htm. "he seemed bo loneHome," had
pressed upon him when he started.
Jle forced Some drops into the frill's
Hps lind. when she partly revived, said,
phut-ply:
"Now. then! March!"
"I cannot move a step. I am faint.
J cannot breathe! This awful snow!"
He shook her roughtly. She would
not Btlr. He hardened his heart and
struck her In the face with his onen
hands. She only moaned and hid her
head upon his shoulder. He tried to
cover, her from the awful downfall,
which momentarily Increased. Then,

failing in this, he burst out passionate
ly: "Listen to me. Where are your
friends gone? Why have they deserted
you? (They had not really missed
her). Do you hear me? I am going to
stand by you. And won't you even try
to move?"
"I cannot, save yourself," she
moaned.
"No; I am not that sort. Now, then!"
He raised her In his arms and stolid
ly plodded through the tuiow. tie had
tramped thut way often and knew it
Well. But the snow was terrible. Down
it came, thlukeniug every minute. It
beat htm soon. He was knee-deep In it
and he wus off the track. When he
discovered this by the- uneven footing
underneath the deep coating he stop
ped. Warrington was no coward. But
his heart failed litin. He was physi
cally incapable of carrying the girl
farther. No shelter was near. The
girl herself was absolutely exhausted,
lie appealed to her again:
"tVuld you not try to walk a bit
Ject to rest me. I tan .! no more. Io
try."
"What's the Rood of trying?" she an
swered feebly. "It Is Impossible. Why
don't you leave nie? I want to sleep.
1 want to die."
"That's where the trouble Is. I don't
want you to die."
He drank some brandy. The snowfall
only changed for the worse. It came
down with a force thut had actual
weight In It. He staggered doggedly
on. Once he fell heavily. The relief
from the cutting wind was delightful.
The snow was soft. 1 1 was a downy
pillow ami to rest Just for a single
moment! He struggled to his feet and
clinched his teeth In desperation. Again
he struggled fonjyard. Some shelter
must be at hand some hel! must be
neur. If neither one nor other well he
could tnke a leaf from the book of the
dainty little patrician he carried in his
weary democratic arms. He too could
die game. And so; forward! The snow
was worse than ever. The girl by a
great effort aroused herself and said:
"You have done enough, too much. T
am sorry I have not tiuite understood
you. I know you now. Cod bless you.
Save yourself. 1 asked you before."
"I will not save myself." he cried
hysterically, "i will not leave you. I
will tight on."
But he wus dead bent. The girl flung
herself from his arms, saying: "To
gether then." Hampered by her dress
the exertion of forcing her way through
the drifts was terrible. Ills courage
gave her strength. The end came soon.
They faced each other silently; each
waiting for the other to speak. Then
the man said quietly:
"The snow must be clearing off or we
are in the lee of something some shel
ter." "Oocl grant It." salil the woman. 'I
noticed it, but feared it might not be
true."
They could not see a yard ahead. An
other effort then! After a few steps
they were brought up by a wall. It
must be nn outbuilding of some farm.
They found the door; they were saved
for the moment. The house, a mere
cattle shelter, wus fortunately nearly
full of hay. He twisted n firm wisp and
brushed her skirts, boots and stockings
clear of the snow. She must have per
ished If the thick coutinir had been al
lowed to thaw find drench her. He
wrapped her up In a heap of hay and In
duced her to swallow a few more drops
of the brandy. Then he Incontinently
finished the tlask himself; he needed it
doing to the open doorway of the shel
ter he stood on guard.
As the night wore away the snow
gradually ceased. The moon at last
shone out. To his surprise Warrington
recognized the locality a hillside half
way between the castle and the rectory
where Miss Howard's married sister
lived. She was asleep when he went to
her. He awoke her gently. She was
now well rested and almost strong.
"So we can get back to the castle be
fore daybreak?" she asked, anxiously.
"No," he answered. "We can make
the rectory not the castle.
Why not the castle?"
"There are ai ions reasons," he said
quietly.
She would not argue with him: he
had saved her life. They started for
the rectory, and now that they had suf
ficient light to avoid the deeper drifts,
reached their destination without much
dlfllcnlty. They rarely spoke during the
Journey.
"Not that way." Warrington Inter-
nosed sharply, as Miss Howard was i
making for the halll door of the rectory.
He wrapped his handkerchief round his
tight hand and broke, the glass of a
"To Come Hack Tomorrow I'or "
ground-floor window. "This will serve
better," he said, us he unfastened the
clasp and threw up the sash. "Let me
help you." He took the girl up in his
strong arms and set her In the room.
The wind was rising: the fitful moon
light failed: snow began to fall again.
"Good night," he said Boftly; "and I
hope you wont be anything the
worse " j
She seized his outstretc-hed hand and
held it fast. "Where are you going?"
"Going! O. going, in the llrst place,
to lose myself in the snow again."
"For what purpose?"
"So that, don't you see? when I find
my way again I will be at the castle,
you here. That that cattle-shelter
business Is all a myth. I say so who
should know. You see now?"
There was a pause, and then the girl
said with a slight sob:
"You are sure you will find your way
to the castle?"
"O. yes, sure enough, and not very
particular whether I do or not."
"You must be not only particular, but
certain. Klse "
"Klse what?"
"I go with you. I know what it
means, but I will go unless you prom
ise to find the way to the castle, and"
"How much more?"
"To come back tomorrow for "
She kissed him on the Hps. He forgot
the piercing cold, the merciless snow.
He took her little perished face In his
benumbed hands and drew It close to
him again.
"Do you mean it?" he asked, In a
trembling voice.
"Yes. with all my heart."
"Then 1 promise."
He tnred from her and set his face
against the storm. Soon he pussed out
or tier sight Into the snow.
"He will come tomorrow," she said
in u low, happy voice.
(The End.)
INDUSTRIAL.
A meeting of the bituminous coal
Oerators will be held In Philadelphia
on Feb. 25 to try and agree upon some
plan by which the production can be
curtailed ami prices maintained. The
change In the officers of the Consoli
dation Coal company has somewhat up
set the plana of the oprators, as it
is not known how the new officers
stand in the matter. C. F. Mayer, the
ex-president of the company, waa in
favor of a plan for uniting the trade
and It Is thought that the new officers
will be of the same Inclination. The
Seaboard association, which has been
a part of the bituminous coal trade for
a number of years, is likely to soon
pass out of existence, and a new one
Inaugurated in Its place. The opera
tors are very anxious to have some
thing; done, as the time for making the
yearly contracts Is growing near. The
railroad companies are considering a
proposition to advance the freight rates
on bituminous coal, and a movement
is on foot to advance the miners' wages
from 0 to 10 cents a ton.
At the annual meeting nf the Lehigh
and Wilkes-liaire Coal company, held
in Philadelphia. Thursday, the follow
ing ticket wus elected: President. J
Hogers Maxwell: directors, George V
Baker. James A. Guiiand, Charles Hur
rlsh. Joseph S. Harris, Samuel Dickson
C. Pardee.

Philadelphia Inquirer: There seems
to be little question now that the new
anthracite coal combination will be in
estimated by the New York legislature,
and there svetns to bo less probability
of any trouble growing out of it than
out of any previous Inquiry of this kind
The motive for aggressive prosecution
Is lacking. The investigation of the
Mcl.eod deal was prompted by the im
mediate advance of 50 cents a ton in
the price of coul to consumers, a step
thut antagonized every citizen In the
Kastern stales. But the present com
bination has not been followed by any
such advance, nor will It be. The trade
will be dull for six months to come, and
no advance In prices will be made In
that period, and yet if the combination
is investigated at all it will be within
six months. Moreover, it can be read
ily be shown that the consumer will not
be damaged by the advance of SO cents
a ton for the domestic sizes that will go
into effect in the fall. He reaped but
little benefit because of the demorali
zation in the trade. The advantage of
reduced prices was nearly all secured
by the wholesale and retail dealers, the
middlemen, who were alive to the spec
illative movements of the trade and
were able to take advantage of them,
There Is really no complaint from con
sumers, and It must be admitted this Is
the weakest combination that has been
farmed in recent years. More than one
company went into it unwillingly, there
Is still much III feeling and still an in
tention on the part of some companies
to push for tonnage. All the Indira
tions point, therefore, to an attempt
that will prove Ineffectual
KA1LKOAD NOTES.
The annual meeting of the Lehigh
and VVilkes-ltarre Coal company was
held at the company's office, 224 South
Third street, Philadelphia. Thursday.
The reports showed that the business
done during the past year was very
profitable and encourugiug. The elet
Hon resulted as follows: President, J.
Uogers Maxwell; directors. George V
Baker. James A. Garland, Charles Par
rlsh, Joseph s. Harris, Samuel Dickson

The Lehigh railroad has Introduced a
feature to provido for the best of sur
glcul care for persons who may be In
jured while riding upon their line, and
for the care of their employes, who
may meet with an accident while on
duty. In every station is placed a
complete surgical outfit. The equip
nient is enclosed In a small) tin case
about twelve Inches long, eight Inches
wide and live deep. Iu the box are the
following: Two long rubber bands, six
assorted muslin bandages, five yards
sublimate gauze, twelve pieces of ab
sorbent lint, one ounce of stytie cotton,
one-fourth pound aborbent button, one
bottle sublimate tablets, two ounces of
bicarbonate of soda, four surgical
needles, a pair of scissors, a pair of for
ceps, a bottle of green soap, a roll of
adhesive plaster; a pyramid of pins and
six safety pins.

A new and novel system, known as
the numeral system, was Inaugurated
on the entire Lehigh Valley road. Sun
day. The new order affects all passen
ger trainmen conductors, baggage
masters and brakemen and they will
be henceforth known by numbers in
stead of by name. The conductors re
ceive the lowest numbers, the baggage
masters next higher and the brakemen
the highest. The oldest conductors are
assigned the lowest numbers, and thus
with the other trainmen. The object of
this rule is to simplify train running,
and the bookkeeping of the department.
The system originated with the Penn
sylvania railroad some years ago, but
was later abandoned. It Is now in use
on the New York Central and on some
other roads, and is said to be satisfac
tory to the roads and also to the men.
The men generally take the new or
der indifferently and as a matter of
course. They naturally make the mis
take now and then of calling co-employes
by name, but they will soon be
come accustomed to the system and call
by nnmliers mechanically.
