CHAPTER II. ( Continued. )
In America people need not restrict
their honeymooning to a distance of
20 , 30 , or 100 miles. Over there a
bridal journey may mean 4,000 or
5,000 miles , and entail some days and
nights aboard a train. Gervla Tem-
pleton and his newly made wife were
quite content with the prospect of the
loag journey as they sat In the palace
car , hand-ln-hand , gazing out upon
the strange , unchanging landscape.
To the new v/Ife , life was warm and
sweet ; while for Gervis , who had
taken up his cross manfully before he
crossed Gladdy's vision , there was the
underlying sense of having given up
his all for others , which in Itself is a
certain reward.
"It seems like years since we left old
'Frisco , doesn't it , Gervis ? " the bride
broke the silence to say blithely. "It's
a bit queer to leave the old life behind
like this , " she went on , half dreamily.
"I never realized that I was married ,
I think , until we stepped into this car
at Vancouver. And now here we ars ,
you and I , flying along through plains
and canons , through snow and ice , on
our way to old age together. If one
were superstitious the look-out is
ominous. "
Gladdy waved her white hand at the
landscape whirling past , rocks and
hillsides , gray rivers and shimmering ,
still lakes , and in the distance the
great , frowning Rockies.
"Look on this picture , not on that. "
; /Gervis with his hand gently turnad
the small , round face , and Gladdy's
eyes fell on he cheerful , warm lux
uries' of the car.
He was careful not to omit the lov
er-like attentions a bride would natur
ally look for , and it was only those
who knew him better than Gladdy did ,
who would miss the spontaneous ele
ment that was absent.
"Never mind the wintry outlook , "
went on the young husband. "I don't
believe you'vo as much as glanced at
our fellow-travelers yet. They seem
rather a decent lot. "
"Do they ? " Gladdy turned her
brown head to give a comprehensive
look round the palace car. "They're
not bad , " she added indifferently.
Then she broke off , and there was a
dead silence.
The round , blue eyes of the bride
had encountered another pair , black
and inscrutable , that were fixed with
a strange , tense gaze on her. Some
thing she knew not what instantly
arrested her attention , and a faint
shiver ran over her whole being.
The owner of the magnetic eyes was
a man of persaps 40 , perhaps older.
His crisply curling hair matched his
Intensely black eyes , and the olive tint
of his bare , shaven face went admir
ably with the darkness of eyes and
hair.
That he was of a studious disposi
tion was vouched for by the stoop of
his narrow shoulders. He was care
fully , even punctiliously , dressed , and
as he leaned back in a large , red-
plush easy chair there was a certain
distinction about his appearance.
He seemed to know none of his fel
low-travelers , and while they chatted
and laughed , he sat , with loosely
clasped fingers , silent and watchful.
The strange thing was.thatsnobody *
seemed to be aware of his presence in
the car. People talked across him ,
colored waiters passed and repassed
him , but nobody disturbed the think
ing man.
The train jolted on its way to the
great mountains , the "everlasting
hills. " It sped in and out of the snow-
sheds , which man's ingenuity has con
structed to protect the railway line
from snowslides , in which thousands
of tons of snow , suddenly loosened ,
came down with irresistible force to
devastate the low-lying country.
The startling whiteness of the out-
Bide world was growing blurred. The
day was waning , the dusk gathering
slowly , and a few feathery flakes be
gan to show up against the deepening
gray behind them.
"We are going to have a tremendous
snowfall tonight , judging from the
smallness and dryness of the flakes , "
observed Gervis presently ; but he got
no answer.
The young man pulled out some
home letters to read.
In a few moments he was back
again in the old home. Loyal and true
as he was to the young wife at his
side , Gervis could not keep his mem
ory from straying to the fair , summer
glades of Temple-Dene , through which
wandered a youth and a maiden whose
hearts were united though their lips
failed to speak of love.
For a b'rief moment he wondered"
how Leila had taken the news of his
* marriage , which by this time must
have reached Tempte-Dene. Now , with
his face turned to begin an everyday ,
practical existence , bereft forever of
the old love Gervis suddenly felt faint
qualms. Had he had they sought
to achieve more than human strength
was capable of ?
Leila he "reverenced too "deeply to
doubt Her pure , saintly woman's no-
ture would be a certain shield. And
that sweet purity of hers would act ,
likewise , as his own safeguard.
\ Little wonder that the gravity In
the bridegroom's eye deepened as he
sat idly turning over the loose sheets
of Lady Jane's pointed writing. So
absorbed was he that he did not ob
serve a sudden hush that crept over
the gaily-chatting occupants of the
car.
Then men sprang to their feet hur
riedly , there were faint screams from
the women ; a colored waiter ran in ,
the whites of his eyes turned up In
wild fear , and , with a frightened shout ,
fled out of the car along the corridor.
By this time Gervis was fully
aroused to the surrounding commo
tion.
tion.Gladdy
Gladdy sat perfectly motionless. Her
eyes were fixed on the now empty
chair in which had been seated the
owner of the black , inscrutable eyes.
She did turn even when the excitement
In the car ended In a stampede accom
panied by frenzied shrieks.
"Fire ! Fire ! "
The train , with its engine ar.d car
riages so hugs and so handsome to
eyes unaccustomed to American travel
must be on fire !
CHAPTER III.
"Gladdy ! my dear Gladdy , rouse up.
What is it ? Are you asleep ? The
fright has paralyzed her ! "
Gervis Templeton stooped and gath
ered up his wife's form in his arms.
Like most American girls , she was
small and slight , an easy weight for
any man's arms ; but somehow Gladdy
was an almost impossible burden. She
was still and motionless , and it was
like carrying a lay-figure.
"Place your arms around my neck ,
dear , and I can carry you the faster ! "
he hurriedly said. But there was no
responsive obedience.
His bride's arms hung loosely down.
It was not that she had fainted , Ger
vis knew , for her eyes weie wide open
and staring , and there was no time to
puzzle over her strange inertness.
Nearly every one was out of the
magnificently furnished car. The
train , which had been slowing , was
now at a standstill. It was quite dark
when Gervis stood on the steps with
his burden ; but , to his wonder , he
now saw what he had been unaware of
before.
The train was in one of the snow-
sheds in fact , in one of the longest
of these structures , and one a mile in
length.
Under its roof , which was shaped
as a continuation of the slope of the
mountain-side , the train was drawn
up. And Gervis gasped , for he now
discovered the cause of the frenzied
excitement. The train itself was not
on fire ; it was the snow shed. '
"Why , what can it mean ? How on |
earth could a snow shed take fire in I
ithis. wintry wealher ? " , he exclaimed.
"Easily enough , " said a quiet voice
at his ear , and a pair of black eyes
met those of Gervis. "A snow shed
can catch fire as the forests do , from
the engine's sparks. This must have
been burning some time. I should say.
As a rule , men on trolleys patrol the
sheds after every train to inspect it ; I
but this has broken out after they I 1 i
have passed. " \
The speaker pointed a long , thin ,
finger to the wall of flame ahead of
the engine , which loomed black and I
i
weird against the bright glare. Even
I
in the alarming situation Gervis could
not but be struck at the calm tone of t
I
the stranger's voice , and his serene
demeanor.
Below the two men. as they stood on
the steps of the car , the terror-stricken
passengers were rushing to and fro in
wild alarm. There seemed to be no
body to appeal to. The driver and
stoker gazed helplessly from their en
gine Into the barrier of fire. The guard
had quietly leaped out and sped back
in search of the hose always found in
every snow shed in case of fire.
The flames were roaring and shoot
ing up through the roof Into the black
night. Each moment the danger was
becoming more and more imminent.
"If this goes on we shall be roast
ed alive ! " Gervis shouted , as he es
sayed to step down.
"Stop ! Let me lift her out ot your
arms. " The stringer who had ad
dressed Gervis was already on the
ground , his arms stretched out to re
ceive the burden Gervis held.
Gathering the slight form to him he
held the motionless girl on the
ground , and as Gervis sprang down the (
steps the stranger's hand made a few
quick passes before the fixed , white
face of the prostrate Gladdy. ; f
"Thank you kindly , " said Gerv's j
hastily. "It Is good of you. She is j
my wife , and somehow the shock '
seems to have frozen her. She is unable - j i
able to speak even. I fear It has af
fected her deeply. "
"Oh , Gervis , take me away some
where ! " A long , sobbing cry came
from her lips. j
Gladdy had come back she was her
self again ; and Gervis almost wished
the frozen stupor had continued. j
"My poor little girl ! " He bent down j i
over her , kneeling on the ground to (
J
draw her little head to his shoulder , j i
At any cost he must hide the hideous
wall of flame from her frightened eyes.
As he strove to comfort her he did
not see the sneer on the dark , olive-
skinned face that looked down upon
the youthful husband and wife.
"I must save her ! " .Gervis looked up
presently to say. in a hoarse whisper , ,
and encountered the pitiless gaze of j I
his new friend. "You must help me ! "
Gervis struggled to his feet. "I tell '
you my wife must be saved ! It was I ! i
who brought her into this plight , and j
I am ready to give my life for * hers ! ,
Help me. Suppose I rush the whole
thing ? Do you think I couid get her
througL the flames to the other side
of them , and to the open beyond ? "
"Are you mad ? " was the icy re-
Joinder. "Better reverse the engines
and back the train to the end wo came
in at But see , here comes the guard
back again. Well ? "
*
"It's anything bujt 'well , ' I guess , "
growled the guard , glancing uneasily
at the women folk. Lowering his
voice , he went on to the male passen
gers : "Tft plain truth is , we're in a
death trap. God help us all ! " Thou
he hesitated.
"Man , speak out. What Is It ? "
"I've bin way back a goodlsh bit ,
and found a worse thing behind us al
most than this ! " He pointed to the
wall of flame. "Gentlemen , there's bin
a terr'ble snow slide happened on oxir
heels. It has smashed through into
the shed and blocked the line from
floor to roof. Never saw such a big
snow slide in the Rockies , not even in
the springtime o' year.
" 'Twas the warmish spell we had
lately has loosened the snow on the
mountain-side , and HOT ; it's come down
all in a heap tons of It ! Besides
frozen cargoes of snow , there's hull
trees torn up by the roots and boulders
all blocking up the shed. We're choked
in behind , and you can see for your
self v/hat's afore us. We're bound to
die like rats in a hole ! "
As the last words were added , break
ing in an irrepiessible cry from the
man's white lips , the huddled groups
of terrified passengers shrieked and
shouted in unison ; for , gazing up ,
their starting eyes discovered that the
fire wa& spreading , in the roof toward
them.
"We must be very near the outlet
of this snow shed ! " quickly ejaculated
the stranger who had assisted Ger
vis.
"Why ? " hoarsely screamed the pas
sengers. Somehow they turned in
stinctively to this man , as human be
ings will to any true leader.
"In that case , it would be worth
while to rush it , " said Gervis. He had
raised Gladdy from the ground , and
stood holding h r close to him , care
fully hiding her eyes with his left
hand.
"Well , then , let us msh it together
in the train , and God in His mercy
help us through ! " came the suggestion
from a passenger.
"And suppose we are burnt up like
chips ! " gloomily said another.
And , truly , the long , fierce tongues
of fire were gaining along the roof.
Strong men shuddered , while all the
women were now covering their eyes ,
and some were praylug wildly. Here
and there a child , with frightened sobs ,
hid its little face in its mother's skirts.
It was , in truth , a terrible death trap.
The helpless human beings , herding
together , were paralyzed. Those of
them for whom their Father in heaven
was au ever-present reality cried out
from their hearts for His merciful
help ; others were mute.
" 'God is our refuge and strength , a
very present help in trouble ; - therefore
fore we shall not fear ' " The clear
voice of a woman that began bravely
ended abruptly in a smothered sob.
The flesh was weaker than the spirit ,
and a pair of dark eyes criticised ,
with a sneer in their black depths , the
speaker as she rowered down on her
knees.
"It would be as well not waste the
minutes in talk , " said the owner of the
eyes. "It's time for action now if we
are to save our lives. "
With a swift glance at Gladdy's
shrinking figure lying in her husband's
arms , he strode forward to the front.
Gathered round the engine was a group
of excited passengers , arguing , order
ing and pleading with the bewildered
stokers , who stubbornly refused to risk
all and rush the fire.

llulnioral Castle Not
As palaces go , Balmoral castle is by
no means large. When it was origi
nally built it was intended to be pure
ly a private palace for Queen Victoria
and her family to retire to for com
plete rest and recreation. There were
to he no visitors , no lords-in-waiting ,
and , moreover , the queen's children
were children. Now , when her ma
jesty's family had grown to a swarm ,
rnd it is a common thing for her to
have nearty a dozen of them staying
with her at once , besides some other
visitors. Balmoral court provides in
sufficient accommodations for the
court. It is true that the latter is cut
down to the smallest limits. There
aie still no lords-5n-waitiug. The inin-
ister in attendance has to leave his
stecretary behind. Still there is not
room for all the guests , so they are
scattered up and down in various an-
nexes. Birkall , to the southeast of
the castle , is allotted to one family ;
Abergeldie castle and Abergeldie
mains , both to the north of Balmoral ,
are-given to others. The -rest are
stowed away in the castle itself and
when the accommodation becomes
cramped , some of them have a way of
drifting off to stay with the duke and
duchess of Fife at Mar lodge , which
is not far off.
AValps at a Soldier.
The Grenadier guards is the only
legiment in which the Prince of Wales
really served as a soldier. It was in
the first battalion of the most distin
guished regiment that he served as a
subaltern and learned his drill. He
was stationed with them at the Cur-
ragh camp , Kl dare. in the year 185S.

There does not seem to be any way
of clearly accounting for the fact
that lightning lods have suddenly oe-
come fashionable in Brooklyn. There
is quite a boom in suburban building
there and nearly all new residences
are being crowned with metal spikes.
Men have lost more by crowding
than they have by waiting their turn.
Formaldehyde in
A man must bo indeed depraved that
will , to make a living for himself , sell
n poisonous drug to be used In milk
that people are to drink. Yet wo find
such rogues traveling through the ru
ral communities find inducing the
producers of milk for human consump
tion to purchase large quantities of
the stuff. In a recent report the Dairy
and Food Commissioner of Michigan
savfi :
During August the published and
undisputed statements from the local
authorities in the city of Detroit show
that a large per cent of Detroit dealers
were using formaldehyde in the milk
distributexl to the homes of that city.
Following this statement samples o'
milk were received at this depart
ment's Detroit office , and which on ex
amination almost Invariably were
round to contain formaldehyde. It was
urged as incumbent upon the State
Dairy and Food department to expend
a fair share of its resources In De
troit , us well as throughout the state ,
and although a large sum of money is
expended every year for the detection
and prosecution of violations of the
food and dairy laws In Detroit , it was
finally thought best to make at least
a partial inspection of Detroit's milk
supply. Accordingly the Inspection
was undertaken about the middle of
the month , and disclosed the fact that
over 75 per cent of the samples pro
cured were found to contain formalde
hyde as a preservative. It is possible ,
of couise , that the department's Inspectors
specters happened to strike in their
inspection just those dealers who were
using formaldehyde and that the per
cent shown by this inspection is not
a true one when applied to the whole
city. But these samples were secured
in portions of the city peopled by the
best classes , wiiere one would natural
ly expect pure milk would be obtained
if anywhere.
Complaint was immediately lodged
against every dealer whose milk con
tained formaldehyde , or thirty-five
separate and distinct dealers. The de
partment was at once assailed by these
dealers through advertisements in the
Detroit dailies , denying the charge.
The assailants attributed various mo
tives , political and otherwise , for the ,
to them , unheard of action , and invited
the public to attend the police court
on the day of examination and witness
the vindication of the accused The
day set for examination was Sept. 28th ,
and atter consultation , the attorneys
for the defendants stated to the court
that they wished to submit certain
legal technical objections in these
cases , and did not think it advisable
to go Into the facts upon examination ,
and that they requested further time
in which to prepare their arguments
upon the legal technicalities. The court
accordingly set Friday , Oct. 5th , for
the hearing of arguments upon the
alleged questions of law raised by de
fendants.
In the meantime it is reported that
the Detroit board of health , at the
first meeting after the complaints were
filed against the thirty-five dealers , in
structed their health officer to allow
the accused milk dealers access to the
board's records in order to prove their
innocence of the charges preferred
against theci by this department.
After looking the ground all over ,
it is plain that a strong effort has been
made during the present summer to
introduce and push in Michigan the
sale of formaldehyde and boracic acid
for use in preserving milk. The de
partment is advised by the best au
thority in the state that the use of
such preservatives in milk is abso
lutely injurious. Prosecutions of milk
dealers brought by this department are
for the purpose of killing this practice
as soon as possible. Believing that
no more despicable proof of the love of
gain can be had than is furnished by
the introduction into the milk supply
of our homes of a poisonous acid pre
servative , prosecution will be insti
tuted wherever and whenever the ne
cessary proofs can be secured , the
sole object being to protect the one
and destroy the other.
Nearly 900,000 hogs at eleven mar
kets the first two weeks of October
are unheard of receipts this time of
year , says Drovers' Journal. The total
this week was 436,000 and the previ
ous week 440,000 , making 876,000 , of
which Chicago is credited with 335,000 ,
or 43,000 more than we received a year
ago. Of course , prices have declined
some , but the way packers lick them
up is a caution , especially when the
numbers are considered and the fact
that prevailing prices are the highest
in seven years and with one or two
exceptions the highest in twenty years
for this time of the year. The average
price at Chicago this week was about
$5.15 , or 85c above the average for the
entire month , of October , 1S99 , $1.59
above the average for the month of
October , 1898 , and $1.90 above the av
erage for October , 189C , which was i I
only $3.25. Since January 1 , 1900 , to
date , the eleven markets received 17 , ;
660,000 , or 116,000 less than a year ago
and 338,000 more than two years ago.
For the twelve months of 1900 the
eleven markets will receive nearly 22- ,
000,000 , by long odds the largest year's
receipts on record.
It is a matter of old observation
that , if some kind of peat be mixed
with fresh stable manure In the pro
portion of two or three loads of peat
to one load of dung , and the mixture
be then allowed to ferment , there will
be obtained a compound as efficient ,
load for load , for many fertilizing pur
poses , as pure stable manure. The fer
tilizing properties of the peat are util
ized , and the fermentation which it
undergoes conduces to this end.

OMAHA , Nov. 10. The Bco says :
"Returns from the legislative districts
now received leave no doubt that the
republicans control both houses of the
legislature und have a decisive ma
jority in the joint session that will
elect the two United States senators.
Wlille the fusionists have been mak
ing all sorts of absurd claims , they
have finally been forced to reduce their
estimates to a tie vote in each house ,
but even this is not justified by the
actual facts. In the senate the repub
licans have elected , without question ,
eighteen senators , while three more
arc still in doubt. Of the eighteen one
is A. K. Oleson of the district com
posed of Cuming and Hurt counties ,
against whom the charge Is made that
he is .ineligible. There is now no more
doubt about the result on the state
ticket than there Is on McKinley ,
though Dietrich's plurality will be
much smaller All but three counties
are reported official or unofficial and
on the face of these returns Dietrich
has a plurality of a few less than 800.
The three counties from which noth
ing has been heard last year gave re
publican pluralities and can be count
ed on to bring the total up to between
1,000 and 1,500. On the returns em
braced in the table , six counties miss
ing , Dietrich has a plurality of 1,722.
Custer county is not included , but it is
known that it only gave Poyntcr a plu
rality of 112 , as against almost 400
two years ago. "
The World-Herald gives this ver
sion : "Complete returns from eighty-
four of the ninety counties in the state
indicate a small plurality for Governor
Poynter and part of the state ticket.
It 5s apparent that the official canvass
will be required to determine the out
come in the case of some of the offi
cers. The situation more closely ap-
proxiraats that of 1890 than the gen
eral run of people had supposed would
occur again in a lifetime. Governor
Boyd's plurality of 1,149 over John H.
Powers promises to become a splen
did majority in comparison with the
lead that will be recorded for the suc
cessful gubernatorial candidate in this
election. The corrected returns from
eighty-four counties give Poynter 107-
C1G and Dietrich 107.904. The remain
ing six counties , which in 1898 polled
8COO votes , two years agci gave Poyn
ter a plurality of 391. With the same
pen entago of loss that has obtained
in the counties that have thus far re
ported this would be reduced to 270 , or
barely enough to offset the lead of 258
that now stands to the credit of Diet
rich. In view of this , it is evident
that it will reo.uire the final returns
to determine the result. "

monopoly. From January 1 to August
1 , 1900 , the imports were 3.020.000 gallons

Moadvllle , Pa. , Nov. 12. ( Special )
The Loyalty of the Members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer : *
Is proverbial. A circumstance occur
red in this city some days ago , which
emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zoller. is Chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer *
No. 143. Ho is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men. and
oneof the best known Engineers run
ning out of Meadvllle. When the an
nouncement was made a short tlrno
ago that Frank was pretty sick , it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine , having had to "lay oft"
on account of his back. A brother of
the Brotherhood of locomotive Engi
neers , who had been ill with similar
symptoms , some time before , and who
had been pulled through , called to see
Mr. Zeller. and in a. brotherly way ,
took with him a box of Druid's Kidney
Pills , the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr. Heller to try
them , with the result that after seven
boxes had been used , he was entirely
well , and able to work
In an interview Mr. Zcllor states :
"I had suffered for four years with
this affiiction , being often kept awaku
at night with pains , and at times un
able to work. 1 tried several of the
advertised remedies , and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally ,
a member of our Order , who had been
cured of Kidm-y Disease by Dodd'a
Kidney Pills brought m a box. and
asked me to try them I had liltlo
faith in them , but a.s a drowning man
grasps at a straw to luMp him. so I
took the Pills. I used seven boxes ,
and am today as well and strong a ,
man as there is in Pennsylvania. "
Naturally , Mr. Zeller feels very
grateful , and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends , and
none more than the good Brother , wlm
feels that he was instrumental In sav
ing the life of the Chief.

cure Kidney Trouble.
