Thn growth, of electric traction in this couutry is one of the most marvelous developments of tho century. A leading street railway journal draws attention to tho fact that in tho last live years tho mileage of street railways operated by electricity hns increased from tllty miles to over mix thousand miles, which is a greater mileage than tha: of all the other street railways in the country operate I by animal and other forms of motive power. Of this larn'o total nearly one third was built in IS'.) 'J. No estimate Las yet been yivou of the aggregate in crease in value of suburban property that has beuu improved by the ruuuing of taw electric lines, but the amount must be enormous, as a large proportion of late installations has been iu suburb in districts, particularly in the east. Iu July, lS'.K), the itrcet railway mitcag'i of the couutry was Htjj J miles; at the present time it reaches a total of 11,055 utiles, or an increase of 3i)i)J miloi in tho last two and a half years. During 1S3 i thero was an additional iucroasc of 1015 J miles. Some of theso lines have been introduced iu the most crowded parts of largo cities, where it is admitted that cable traction would be mora economical. The reason for this lies probably in tho fact that it would be far less economical to change from electric to cabli power simply for the short distance than to re tain tho system already in operf'iou.

T was about lia'f nn liour nfter sunset, but nn orange light still burned above tho lonely southern Tnl Icy. The trembling evening star was hanging over the urtcu silence of the fragrant Tennessee woods.

Vot Wallace Kcenu would have given well nigh all be was worth to exchange its luxuriant Trrdurc ono moment only for the pins clad heights and salt winds of Man ;, with russet winged robins chirping tlrsir familiar madrigals iu the apple orchards below. "Two yenri ago I left Lome," mur mured Wallace Kecne as ho gazed thoughtfully out where the purplo tky teemed to touch the wuviug woods. "Two yeurs since young Hurncy told me ho never would give Marion to 'a com mon mechanic,' yet the wound rankles sharply still." ' "'Captain " """ Ms that you, Spicert What now?" Captain Kcclo turned his l.ico toward the opening of tho tent, where Private Spicer's heal was just visible. 'Why, sir, our fellow bare just brought in that lot o' men that was hurt in that scrimmage across the liver this morning, and some on 'cm is wounded bad." 'I will bo thero directly, Spicer." Thero was a little crowd of meu gath ered on the river shore in thn warm glow of tho spring, but they silently parted right mid lelt for Captain Keunu's tall figure to puss through their midst. rix or peveu dusty, bleeding men were sitting an 1 lying around in various pos tures, their ghastly brows made still paler by tho f'lint, uncertain glimmer of the young ...mm. Keeno glanced quickly around, taking in the whole scene in that one brief survey. He stopped short as his eye fell on n new face, half shadowed by the green sweep of drooping alders a pnlc, blood streaked face with a gaping cut on the forehead. 'This is not ono of our men!' he ex claimed sharply. "How came bo bore?'' "Xo, sir," exclaimed Spicer, stepping forward. "1 think bo belonged to tbe Eighth. I'm sure I don't know how he ever got mixedup wiih our fellows, but thero ho was, ami I thought we'd hotter not wait for their ambulance, but bring him straight here." Hight," brietly pronounced Keone, stoopiug over the insemiblo figure. Let them carry him to my teut, Spicer." "I beg your pardon, captaiu to your tent?"' 'Didu't you hear what I said?" shnrp ly interrogated the superior olticcr. "Bruce, make tho others comfortable iu Lieuteuuut Ordway's quarters. Tacro will be plenty of room lor them there." "Well, I'm beat!" ejaculated Spicer five or teu minutes afterward as ho cuire out of tho captain's teut scratching his shock of course red curls. Meanwhile thu dim light of n lamp swinging frjin the ceuter of the little teut shono full on thn singular group withiu its circling folds tho wouuded private lyiug like a corpse, still uud pale, on thu narrow iron bedstead, the young ollicer leaning over him and supporting his head and thu biisk, gray eyed little surgeon keenly surveying both as he un folded his cose of phials and powders, "lie is not dead, doctor?'' 'No; but ho would havo boon in an other half hour. Your prompt remedior have saved his life, Captain Keeno." Thank God I oh, thank God!" The surgeon looked at Keeno iu amazement. "lie doesn't belong to your regiment. Why are you so interested in tho easel" 'Because, doctor," said Koeue, with a strange, bright smile, "when I saw him lying under tho alders, dead, as I thougut, I rejoiced in my secret heart. At first only at first. Tbe next moment I remembered that I was a tuuu tad a Christian. For year I have carried the. spirit of Cain in my breast toward that man) nctr it la washed out U hit blood." It was high noon of the next day be. fore the wounded man started from a fevered doze into tbe faint dawn of con clousness. Where am IV he faltered, looking wildly around him, with an Ineffectual effort to raiso his dizzy head trout the pillow, "Now, be easy," said Private Spicer, who was cleaning his gun by the bed side. "You're all right, my boy. Whoro aro youl" Why in the captain's tent, to be sure, and that's pretty good quar ters for the rank aal file, I should think." The captain's tontt lTow camo ) hcrel" "That's Just whit I cin't tell you you'll have to ask himself, I guess. You ain't any rolation to Captain Koene, be youl" "Kecne Keeno t" repeated the man, Because," pursuol Spicer, "if you'd bcon his own brother born, he couldn't have ta'iin better care of you. His cousin, mavbet'' No I God forgive mo, no!" faltered the wounded man with a low, bitter groan. "Hero ho is now," said Splcor, the familiar accents of his voice falling to moro respectfully modulated tone as he rose and diluted his officer. "He's all right, captaiu a clear headed at s belli" "Very well, Spicer; yoi eaa go." Tbo private obeyed with alacrity. When they weio alone together in tho tent, Wallace Keeno came to tha low bedside, "So you're all right, Mr. Ilarnoyl" La asked kindly. "Captain Kcene," murmured Harney, shrinking from tho soothing tono a if it had been a dagger's point, "I have no right to expect this treatment at your hands." "Oh, never mln J," said tbe young man lightly. "What can I do to make you nuro comfortable V Harney was silent, but bis eyes woro full of the tcirs ho fain would drive back tears of remorseful shame and ho turned his tljshed face awsy lest the man ho had onco n grossly insulted should seo t'io n fall. Tlu next day ho ao;ain alludal to tut homo subject. "Captain Kcone, you asked mo yes terday what you could do for me?" "Yes." "I want you to obtain leave for My to come and nurso mo when I uin trans ferred to the hospital." Captain Kveae turned toward the sick man a face white and hard as marblo and said in a strangely altered voice: Do you mean your sister I" "My sister yes." Ol course, if you wish it, I cn ob tain permission, Harney. But" "WclH" Keeno' chock colored, and he bit LI lip. "I should not suppose sho would be willing to leave her husband for tho very uncertain comforts of hospital life." llMoey "iUo'L, loo!slu; l"to Lit com panion's face with keen, searching eyes. "May is not married, .Captain Keene. She has uo such apoeu Jiiju as u hus band!" "Not married t" "I know what you tbou'it. She was engaged and almost marrlod. Wo had nearly induced her to becorao LibIo Spencer's wife, but she refused on the very evo of the weddiug day." Keene had risen and was pacing up and down the rmrrow limits of the tout with feverish haste. "Because," wcut on narney, "sho loved a certain youug volunteer who loft S about two years ago too well ever to become any other man's wife." "Harney you do not menu to say" "1 do, though, old fellow, and, what is more, I mean to say that since I've been lying in this tout my eyes have oeeu pretty thoroughly opened to my own absurd folly uud impertiuenco." Captain Keeno wrung his companion's hand and burriod away, to mistake tho bootjuck for tuo inkstuud ami to cjui mit Ncveral other uo less inexcusable ab surdities. "I seo you'll get nothing written to day," sighed Harney as he lay watching Wallace Keeno toar up sheet utter sheet of condemned note paper. "I shall, though," smilod Wallace. "Only 1 can't tell cxtctly which end of my letter to begin at." Captain Keene did write and it he iuserted a little forcigu matter into tho epistle it didn't mutter, for Harney, con siderate fellow, never usked to see it.
