PAHT IV. It was a fresh bright niornlnR when the piuiy reuKsemlileil at breakfust next Though "n the point of leaving; what was to htm an eurthly iiarudlse, f apel felt joyous almost exultant. In Hplte r her aniblKUous upeet-h he thoutcht trace had betrayed n certain degree f liking: for hint which he lionet to transform Into a tenderer, deener feel ing by the force of his own passionate Uevotlon. and "he dreamed of bright davit to rome." It seemed, too, that every otie was sorry to part with hlm. The usually rudlunt countenance of his host was graver than Capel had seen It before. Otace Was very pale ntid quiet. though when her eyes met those of her lover, a soft color rose In her cheeks and faded away. Kllen O'Urady 'tried to laugh and talk as usual, but her eyes told a tale of weeping- and sleeplessness. I am so Rind It Is fine and dry, she exclaimed. "Mine, de Suresne hus such a bad cold: she has quite lost her voice." "Yes, faith," put In Mr. Digby, "she was as hoarse as a raven last night. She'll be all right, however, when she's Bafe on board his majesty's shin Calli ope, but we are all In the doleful dumps this morninif. Begad, colonel, we'll miss you terribly. You must come over as often as you can spare time from hunting the rebels, and restoring- peace by dint of licking them." "I only hope you may not find me too frequent a visitor." "Ah, not I! or the darlings here, I'll promise you." "Yes, colonel, dear, you'll come back soon," said Nelly, caressingly; "and now I'll go and see that madame eats a good breakfast. It will be quite a fatiguing day far her." "Gface, my heart," said Dlgby, "make Bure that they put up a lunch eon basket with a bottle of port; yel low seal, mind." "And. Colonel Capel. you will see our dear friend safe Into mademoiselle's house, Tl Demenlc street. All the post boys know It," said Grace; and she also rose to assist her cousin in lost attentions to their invalid truest. "I wonder what ails that little O'drady girl." thought Canel. "She is riot sorrowing over my detinrture; she lias anything but a fancy for me." An hour later a chaise and pair was at the door, and "all hands," that Is, j the masculine hands in the house, Btemed busy about it. strapping on the luggage, putting In the wraps, looking to the wheels and talking to the post boy. "What a queer, thoughtless, fun-loving lot they are. Why, none of them ever served me at meal without a broad grin on their faces," thought Capel, us he stood on the doorstep looking ut the group. But Mine, de Suresr.e now appeared, limping, a stick in one hand, and the other resting on Uigby's arm. She was carefully wrapped up In a large cloak of velvet, a huge bonnet, over which an extensive black lace veil was lied under her, chin, und black kid pnoFouxn attention was oiv- : K.N TU lll'.lt WultUH. feloVes; with long empty linger ends. She made Cupel u courtesy in spile of her is Jin -il ankle, and thanked hlm hoarsely fur his kindness in taking charge of a tiresome old woman. Then with much cure. she was assisted into the ch'alse. "They do say the boys has been hav ing a bit of a scrimmage there by Miirroghmore pass," said the butler; "but sure you'll get through In the height of duyllght, and If they meddle with -you the colonel can Just say he roiues from Athgarvan." . "I can tell them that. Did I not use the noble Irish tongue In the old times when I was helping the dear lady who Is gone, in her charities," said madame. "Come, M. le-Colohel, let us be going." . Capel look leave, therefore, kissing the young ludy'g hands. He thrilled t the look that came Into (trace's eyes as they met his they were Infinitely sad, wistful and loving; yes, absolute- FOR BABY'S SKIN Scalp and Hair The most effective skin purify inp and beau tifying soap in the world, as well as purest - and sweetest tor toilet, bath, and nursery. .

With this delightful Im pression lie sprang Into the chaise, the post-boy cracked his whip, the assem bled men servants gave a cheer, through which came a sound of laugh ter, and they were off at a good puce down the avenue. Cafiel, in a state .f considerable ex altation, showed nls companion every possible attention, lie rolled no Ills cloak to put under her feet, drew up' one window and let down another, and wus most tender In his Inquiries us to her comfort. Her answers were brief, hut it was evidently an effort to her to speuk. Presently she seemed to sleep, and Cupel cheerfully resigned himself to silence and castle building. Two hours dual nearly passed when the old lady stirred and roused herself. Cupel was Immediately on the ulert, und udmiiiistered sandwiches und wine, but inadunie did not seem uny more in clined to talk than before. It might have been hulf an hour later when Hie road entered a narrow valley of gorge, with steep, rocky sides, und Cupel observed that the sist-boy whipped up the horses; they were tired, for it was towards the end of a long and hilly stage. As they reached the middle of the pass a sound of voices, cries, laughter rem-hed Cupel's ears, und turning a bend of the roud they came lu Might or a wild-looking crowd of ruguinulllns, some armed with pikes und some with pitchforks and pistols. "This Is awkward." cried Capel; "but pray do not be alarmed. I'll speak to them und they will probubly dis perse." The men crowded around the car riage, hooting, yelling, und evidently bent on violence. "Whv do we stop you!" screamed a red-headed giant of a countryman, in reply to Cupel's question; "because we don't Intend you to be hounding on vour Informers and murderers to win the mice of Costello's head. You're twice as bitter an enemy as the ould brigadier!" "Stop!" cried Mine. Suresne, laying her hand on his arm. "Let me seak." She put her head out of the window with some dllllculty. "Hooray for the ould lady!" cried the red-headed lender, derisively, and add ed some words In an unknown tongue unknown at least to Capel. Whereupon the French lady addressed the crowd, apparently in the same langunge, and produced a great effect. First eyes and SIVE FAREWELL OP HER KIND KSCOIiS. mouths opened and protottnd attention was given to her word Presently ap plause began, then ecstasies of laugh ter, exclamations, and shouts of evi dent delight followed. At last madame drew In her head. "Tell him to drive on while the boys are in good humor," she said. The command, however, was need less. The postillion used his Bpurs, the horses broke into a gallop, and for some yards a cheering, laughing, up roarious following kept pace with the chaise. They soon tailed off, however, and Capel laughingly complimented madame on her fluency In Irish. "You must have a wonderful memory," he concluded. "Ah, you see I have been staying with Mme. la Comtess Iady Masserene. They live in a very remote wild Coun try where they ull speuk Irish, so it all came back to me." "Why did they want to stop us?" "Voyes vous'.' They are Costello's boys. They thought you had put a juice on his head, and I think they wanted to murder you. I said you were a friend of Shuun Dlgby, and told them a funny story. They are mere chil dren." "Very unpleasunt children. Anyhow, mudanie, 1 owe you my life. Madame made a little grimace. "Could I ever have faced my sweet pupil had I let a hair of your head be hurt?" she said. "Do not suggest false hopes to me," cried Cupel. "It Is cruel." "Ah. tnoti Dieu, how tired I am!" said madame, und relapsed Into silence und perhuns sleen. No furl her Inler- 'n lt foil occurred till they reached the tlrst ot a scries of outposts on u Hue at some distance from the town. Here the chaise wail stopped by a sentry who deuuuided the password 'and looked scriitiiiizlngly Into the carriage. "Who Is the olllcer iii commund?" asked Capel. In a tone of authority. "Lieutenant Merrick," replied the sentry. "1 wish to speuk with lihn." The sentry called out the guard, and soon a biight-looklng young oilieer came up. He shook huuds cordiully with Capel. "Delighted you have come. We are at sixes and sevens pour old Kltou Is not up lo his work. You've been stav MADA.MK TOOK QIMTK AN Kf-'Kl'r-ing ut Athgarvan'.' Ah a delightful place. Have y,,ii curried off Dlgby's grandmother? Kh, what. Miss Dlgby's old French governess? Ah! she Is not the rose, but has dwelt with her. Fray present me." This accomplished, nnd some compli ments exchunged, Merrick and Capel BMke apart. "Seems rather like a mummy with a cold." said the former. "By the way the people seemed In a disturbed state in a place called the Pass of Murroghmore." said Capel. "They tried to stop us. but we imuiaged to get through. Come and dlnJ with me tonight at the Harp ami Crown. I must deposit my French friend at her destination. 1 fancy she hus had enough, so I'll not delay any longer." "Afraid I cannot have the pleasure of dining with you today, but tomor row I shall cull. 1 suppose you will enter on your commund the day after?" They parted cordially, Merrick wulk lng with Capel beside the carriage till past the sentries. Ijess than an hour after they stopped at the door of the renowned French milliner, and madame took quite an ef fusive farewell of her kind escort. "I shall call nnd see how you are to morrow," said Capel. "Pray do! I'll send a line to that dear child, Grace, this evening and tell her what a delightful enmpagnon tie voyage you are what a companion for life you would make." To be concluded. Appropriate Fashions. "I understand that plalils are to be gen erally worn this winter," sum tne alder rrmn to his tailor. "Yes." replied the tailor thoughtlessly. "It's unfortunate,' too. Btrlpea are much better for soine people." Too late the. tailor realised that ha had lost a customer. v-nicago rost. THE LEfilGB VftLLErS TURN Its Fiftieth Anniversary Will Come on Tuesday Xctt. MANY LIXES ARE XOW MERCED Tho Name at first Delaware. Lehigh sad Schaylktll. tut Changed l ater to ths One It Now Itearo. A Detailed History. ' From the Philadelphia Pres. The l,ehigh Valley Railroad company will celebrate Its fiftieth anniversary on April 21, but unlike the Pennsylva nia ruilroad no official notice oi mis iroldeti' Jubilee will be taken by the company. This Is another railroad of this state that hus grown rrom u small beginning to a position of Importance and now has branches extending east. west and north from the line which was originally laid out. The rail roud ixyii pauy now has a direct line of Its own from Jersey City to Buffalo, besides numerous extensions Into the anthra cite coal fields. Recently the company has acquired several lines in New York state, which gives it uu outlet to Luke Ontuiio. Within a few weeks the com pany is going to make a number ftf radical changes in Its train service, which is thought will bring this city und the cities of the western purt of New York Into closer ulllllatloii. The charter for the construction of a ruilioud from Huston to Muhoning Creek near Mauch Chunk was granted by the legislature April 21. lS4ti. to the Delaware, Lehigh and Schuylkill Kuil road company. At this time It was the intention of the projectors of the road to extend the line virtually Into the Schuylkill coal region. The company nlso hud a right to build across the river at Kaston to Phllllpsbtirg. For some reason the name seemed inappro priate and about 1S"0 It was changed to the Lehigh Valley Railroad com pany, as the road was then principally in the Lehigh valley. Although the charter was granted In 1S46 the road was not opened until September, 1X50. During this Interval there were several stretches of the road built, but for some reason the road remained unconstruet ed considerably longer than it was the Intention of the projectors. The building of this road created considerable discussion In and around Mauch Chunk, Easton and Hethlehem. The projectors were men of prominence, and while Judge Asa Packer was the father of the operation of the road James M. Porter, a prominent citizen of Kaston, was the first president. Be sides Mr. Porter there were other men of renown who subscribed their names to the charter of the company. BRANCHING OUT. For several years most of the work was confined to the operation of the road between the points set out in the charter, but as the business Increased and a larger Held was opened to the company theflrst steps towards branch ing out and making the road the sys tem it now Is was begun in 1862, when it subscribed to all the stock of and practically built the Penn Haven and White Haven railroad; which extended from Penn Haven to White Haven, a distance of about eight miles. . This construction made a connecting links with the Beaver Meadow Railroad and Coal company, which extended from Mauch Chunk to Audenreid, 24 miles. In 1864 the Beaver Meadow Railroad and Coal company was merged into the Lehlch Valley, and in 1866 the Le high and Mahanoy railroad, extending from Black Creek Junction to Mt. Car mel, about 100 miles, was merged into the Lehigh Valley system. The road now began to assume large proportions and it was considered one of the Ideal lines of the state. Its earn ing powers were great and its business was constantly increasing, and in lXtiH the Hazleton railroad and the Lehigh and Luzerne Railroad companies, which branched from Fenn Haven to the Hazleton and Black Creek coal lields, were merged. This gave the com pany quite an extensive system of lines In the Lehigh coal field and made It one of the big coal carriers at that time. Previous to 180') the North Branch Can al company, which, extended from. Wllkes-Barre to the New York Btute line, along the Susquehanna river, a distance of 104 miles, was bought, and the Lehlsh Valley Railroad company, on the property thus acquired, con structed the road which is now known as the Pennsylvania and New York Canal and Railroad company. LEASES A BANK. In 1871 the Lehigh Valley railroad leased the Morris Canal and Banking company. This company, at that time doing not only a canal business, but a large banking one as well. The canal extended from Phllllpsburg to Jersey City, a distance of about 101 miles. About one yeatafterward the con struction of the Eastern and Amboy Railroad, from Phllllpsburg to Perth Amboy, was commenced. The Lehigh Valley Railroad company at this time, as well as now, owned considerable pronwty at Perth Amboy, and had ImQi large wharves at that place. For aeape time this extension answered the purpose, but later the line was extend ed from South Plainfleld, on the ICaton and Amboy division, to Jersey City, where the company has a valuable water front. For a number of years the Lehigh Valley Railroad company's only meth od of reaching Buffalo wus by a con nection with the then New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad, now the Erie railroad, at Sayr'e. It ran Its own trains over this line by virtue of a tratllc agreement with the other com pany, but a few years ago It gave up its agreement and began the operation of its own line UnTieTiiale of New York. From the New York stute line to Bliffu lo the roud Is called the Lehigh Valley Railway company. The company has also -under lease Jhe Lehigh and New York KAllroud company, in New York, which is the old Southern Central, ex tending from the state line at Sayre, through Owego to Fair Haven, on Lake Ontario, a distance of about 111) miles. ITS LAKE FLEET. When the Lehigh Valley Railroad company began to run trains to nnd from Buffalo it found that It had u considerable freight business, und to encourage this In 1880 it began the operation of a fleet of vessels on the lukes which now is composed of four steel steamers and six wooden ones. Within the lust year the company has acquired also the Middlesex Valley railroad, which extends from (lenevu Into the grape growing district, and the Kliuira. Cortland and Northern, which is 115 miles long and runs from Elmlru through Ithaca to Camden, on the bor der of the lake. On Feb. 11, 1892. the railroad and oth er properties of this company, but not the properties of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, wer. leased for 9H9 years from December L ISM, to the Philadelphia uml Reading Railroad com pany, but this lease terminated Aug. 8, 18H, and the property reverted to tha company. The capital stock and bond ed Indebtedness of the company at first was about S.l.noo.OOO, and now It Is $74, 614,000, besides stocks of affUlated com panies to the amount of Sf7,196,000. The company now has 685 locomo tives, 16,369 freight cars, 31,926 coal cars, 1,171 passenger and other cars used In conducting the business of the com pany. It now has 1,145 miles of single track, 530 miles of second track, which with branches and siding, make a total trackage nf 2.490 miles. The Lehigh Valley Coal company, which is owned entirely by the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, was organised Jan. 11, 18H1, to mine and sen coal. Since the com pany was organised It has acquired over 100,000 acres .of coal land.

Some of the newer vessels of the Ou nard line aiv distinguished for their enormous size, and this magnitude is. of course, extended to the culinary depart ment. The ordinary housewife would be amazed to behold in the kitchen of a Campania or a Lucania an immense cooking range twenty-five feet long, and with a surface on which nearly 170 ordinary dinner plates can be set. The cold-air stores sor keeping the provisions are below the kitchen. In these will be found Immense quan tities of food when the great liner Is carrying her full cumplem.'iit of pas sengers.

It is grand to take after hard riding, as it very soon re stores the lite you lose ut such times." Bovinine is strictly and solely a food stimulant, prepared by a special cold process from lean, raw beef.
