Including the"glilnpse lettectcd In the tunnel. "You must have bieu dreaming or you're Inventing," was the guard's rather abrupt comment. "Couldn't have seen anything like that 'talu't possible. And how comes it you know such a lot about it? You tell us. too, there wus another man In the carriage -what' become of him 7 A tine story'." "Would I have given the nbirtu If 1 was Implicated lu any way?' I an swered hotly. "Oou't be u fool, guard." The guard would have answered me rudely, no doubt, but at that moment a doctor appeared upon, the seeue. "The man Is dead beyond all ques tion dead," he said at the very tirsi glance. "Ami iIk cause of death?" I asked eagerly, while the guard frowned at me us though I were making myself too busy, "Are there any marks of foul play'.-" "None visible,' n plied the doctor after a hrici cxamiuntiou. "I should say it was heart, but I cannot be ctriaiu till I have looked further." "Which you can do somewhere else and belter than here." interposed the guard. "We've Juki loo much time already. I must push on to York und report there. This I too big a job for me." "Y'oii h::d better go back to Grant ham." I protested. "It's quite close not half a dozen miles." "I dou'i want you to ti ach nie my duty, and I'm not going. I've got lirst of all to keen time. Why should I go back?" "To Idenli.'y the dead man he got in at iJranthani -and to give Informa tion ns to the man who got out." "Oh. bosh!" cried the1 guard. "There was no man -no one but yourself, aud you've got to come along with me, aud that" he pointed to the eorpie "on to York." "I certainly shall noi go ou with the train. 1 shall go back to tiiaiitliuin alone. There Is no time to be lost.

My man In the ulster did not move ou the way to town. I was continu ally on the lookout, nlert and wakeful, watching in every tunnel we passed through for some corroboration of tny former experience. In the flying train probably at this time of night every one but myself was sound asleep. The lights were cevtnJuly reflected onto th brick walls, but uo artlou or incident. Nevertheless, 1 was now quite cou viuced that I had made no mistake a; to what I had seen. 1 was close behind the check ulster directly hs wearer alighled. So wa tny friend Mountstuart, the detective, to whom, as he ranged alongside, I whispered: "Take him straight to the nearest station, I will charge him there with robbery from the person. Mind he dors not sling (throw awny) nny stuff." Except for my caution I believe he would have got rid of a fat, bulky pocketbook, but Mountstuart caught him in the act nud took It from hi hand. He began to bluster, shouting "What docs this mean? How dare you interefer with me? Who are you?" "You will hear soon enough, " said Mountstuart, quietly. "In with you. We are golug to Portland road." 1 never saw a man so dumbfounded. He wus a durk-eyed, lantern jawed, cadaverous looking, aud he was shiver ing, no doubt with the sudden shoe): of his unexpected arrest. He gave Mils nume ut the station as Gregory Car stairs, a commercial traveler, dud It came out that he had had business dealings with Mr. llatcmaji. The temptaiion had been irresistible when be held the dead man in his arms to search nud despoil him. He thought it was quite safe; no once could kuow of his presence in the carriage, and the sudden death would be attributed to natural causes. His possession of the stolen property was euougU to secure his conviction for theft, the only charge pressed, for death had really been from heart failure. My evidence as to what I had seen was heard in court, and heard with mixed feeling lu which Incredul ity predominated. The Judge and some others were sufficiently interested, however, to put my statement to the test by actual experiment on the Un derground Hallway, ami the fact of the telltale reflection was triumphantly proved. The next time I met the guard of turn night express he was very crest fullen aud admitted that he had made uu avs of himself. The Taller. A Fiollcjouis Pueasoot.

The gales of tiie pasi few days have been too much for the improvised crew of H. M. first-clasj battleship Duncan, aud the full'poMer trial has had to be aban doned owlug to the lllues of the men. Thoiie who suffer most are the unfor tunate stokers, who, while the ship is pitching and tossing ou the waves have to shovel coal lucessaully, and are con fined In a stokehold, the temperature of which Is to say the least abnormal. The result of the abandonment is that the Duncan lias only mude eighteen knots iu place of her contracted speed of uBiuteeu knots, aud she will have to go to sea again for another eight hour' full-power run. -London Chronicle.

Such criticism Is purely supeillelul ami far from being accurate; Indeed, It is very Inaccurate. The position of it .Tapanese woman is a high oue. She Is addressed as "Okusamn." the honorable ladv of the house, antl she 1s treated with the greatest consideration and respect by her hnsliuud and her family. Far 1'roai being a meek, slavish creature of the household, she 1h more the men tor, the uutocrat and Idol of the home. In domestic affairs she has full con trol. Her ilutits are onerous, but never repugnant to her. They consist of managing the household, practicing economy, making her home pleasant both In appearance and by ln.T cheer fulness of disposition, and the educa tion aud instruction of her children, for even after the children have en tered school they are still, under her tutelage. As her home is therefore her world, it Is only natural that It has become I he Inherent Instinct of the Japanese women to lavish the greatest love and tendcrues: upon their homes, und to expend much time aud thought in en deavoring to make them us attractive and as pleasant' as possible. Her house is the acme of purily. To a Western eye the aspect of the inte rior of ii Japanese house may nt first seem bure and barren. In truth, the Japanese, abhor decoration of any kind and consider It not only inarllslic. bm extremely vulgar. I was once sliowu a so-called "Japanese loom" In the bouse of a Chicago millionaire, and I am quite sure that the average Japan ese housewife would have thought herself iu the room of some insane per son, or else In some curiosity shop.
