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

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

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

"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."

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

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-

tlrst ot a scries of outposts on u Hue

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.

This accomplished, nnd some compli

"Seems rather like a mummy with a

"By the way the people seemed In

They parted cordially, Merrick wulk

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.

"What was the mistake?"
"Why, according to the com-, the nnr-

should have read: "Professor Jenkyns
