Dick Barnett, the schoolmaster of Exton, cast a parting look at himself In the cracked mirror over the little washstand. added a few final touches to his toilet, and sighed. "Not much of a piece to leave," as he turned and swept the barely fur nished room with a glance. "But still I'm sorry to go." He was a slender young man, with a keen, intellectual face, and carried hlnibclf with a certain dignity as be came one who had been five years the Tillage schoolmaster. He was only 24, but looked much older, as the result of hard work and study. Ho did not alwaya Intend to remain a simple ped agogue. As his glance linger-od on the faded hanglncs, the uncomfortable looking haircloth furniture, tha faded rag car pet, it rested on a small trunk in the middle of the room, and he frowned. "I wonder what can keep the fellow?" he muttered. "He promised mo faith fully he would not disappoint." Just then a timid knock sounded on the door, and presently a man entered, a rough, ungainly fellow, In a dit ty can- vas suit, whose wild hair and heard i made him resemble one of those gro-! tesque toys that are2 sold , about the streets during the holidays. "Well, here I be," said the newcomer in a deep bass voice. "Very good, Jim. Now you will take this trunk to the station without saying whose it is. It no one know I am going. Understand?" "Sure." "Here is for your trouble." and from a Blender purse the young man passed over a silver piece, which the other, after biting, thrust in his pocket Then he shouldered the trunk and with a "Good night, guv'nor," went out with hu burden through the door. Barnett waited until he heard the man's steps on the front porch, then; with a parting look around the room j her BRain. It was such a breaking that had been bis home for Ave years away from old ties, this starting out, he blew out the lamp and slipped down i after the placid years he had spent as the Btair3 and Into the night ithe village school teacher. Sometimes He made his way rapidly along the! ho wondered if he wa3 fit to wage a country road, which, without the moon-j good fight beyond there, in the hum light to guide him, he could have tra-iming city. Well, at least he was not versed jsafely, he knew it eo well. Pass- without courage, and if he went down ng a IT'W dark houses, he came at last, to the entrance of an extensive estate, and paused for a moment before the great iron gate. It? seemed to him that! the stone lions bearing shields on the pillars on each side of the way were grinning at him derisively. "I wonder if I shall ever see this place aaln? he murmured. "Am I acting for the; own way, it would be a difficult matter best? I hope so." .Then, as he saw a I for them to have kept her back. Final faint light still glimmering in the gate- jly he coul 1 bear the waiting no longer, keeper's little house, he passed rapidly I but rose and stepped out to the edge on. Further he found a hole in the of the trees, looking anxiously in the tall hedge, and, wriggling through, en-j direction of the house. It would be tered the park. really too bad If their la-it meeting It was evidently not the first time he! should be so woefully curtailed, had found his way Into the grounds in A uteri behind him, and a? he turned this surreptitious way, for here where: it was face Mrs. Ellison. Even in that the old trees interlaced not a gleam of ; moonlight penetrated the place. Vet he wnlked on without stumbling through the blackness, coming pres ently 'to another hedge scarcely higher than his shoulder. A silvery radiance shone over this part of the park. Here he paused for a moment to listen, then stepped back Into the shadows. There was the sound of rustling leaves, and then a man appeared in the moonlight. Dick could only make out that he was tall and ragged, for his face was in the pliadow of an overhanging bough. Only for a moment did the stranger stand there, when he turned and made off In the direction of the house, the lights of which could be seen gleaming In the distance. "What can that ruffian be doing here?" muttered the schoolmaster ns he came out Into the path again. "A poacher, no doubt, after Ellison's fish Better buy such things than have a! storked lake to nttract all the wander ing vagabonds In the country." He approached the Iwnlge again, peer ed cautiously over, and. catching sight , of something white In the distance, ut- tered a low whistle. The young worn-1 Ellison on his protege. A fine guar an, for such the white object was, run-jdlan for young people, truly. Sneaking nlng forward, opened a gate In the hedge near at hand, and came toward him. "O Dick!" she began Impulsively, lift ing her face to hie. "What does It whet can It all mean?" "I will tell you but. not here. Come, we are far too near the house to talk In peace." and he drew her away Into the shadow, but still In eight of the .noonllt path. h'lrwtlntr a fallen tpaa tiai ttraaaAil fat to nit down, and then took a seat be side her. "Now, then, tell me quickly. Don't you see I am burning with anxiety?" he aatd. "There Is little more to tell you, than that I think It beat to go away It l.i only a question of time before I should be Bent. Your mother has learn ed of our attachment, and she could easily break It off. ibe believes," "She little knowa me," replied the girl firmly. "After all, what can she do?" "Well, the first step would be to get your father Jbo discharge me, and that, I believe, he contemplates doing, though he has been friendly to the last. Still, she could persuade him. I feel sure of It. Then, you see, I would have to anyway." "But what Is to become of me what nm T tn fin?" nlmnisf in trnr She was jliule more tban a chud Darey 17. "i doa't want you to go I won't have it: " with a stamp of the foot. "My di-ar, I am acting for the best," firmly. "My usefulness here Is over, and to remain would only make mat ters more disagreeable for you a3 well as me. I am going to the city, where there Is some chance for me to show my ability if I have any. There Is no chance for me to rise here, and when I have made a competence, and am in a po3itlon to teke care of you as you deserve, why, we will marry in spite of the world." "And will that be very long very, very olng?" she asked in a doleful voice that caused him to laugh. "Not long if the world appreciates my transcendant genius," with a flippant air. "Not long, if hard work and ap plclation will lift me to a respectable place in society." "Still I think It is very mean of you to go," poutingly. "Don't think it is not a wrench for me to part from you." But the girl refused to be comfort ed, and it was only through lavish en dearments and many promises that she became more composed and reasonable, and be.gnn to share his views that it was for the best. "But we can't part this way," she protested. "I must give you something to remember me by. Just wait here for a moment until I run over to tuo house. I shall not be gone long," and before he had a chance to protest that a souve nir wa3 not necessary, she had flitted away out beyond the light into the shadows. After she had gone he found himself listening to the myriad' insect voices of the forest, that seemed to fall with Ir ritating reiteranoe on his ears. He felt far from being in a cheerful mood, not 'knowing what the future might bring form, or if, indeed, he ever should see it would be to fall fighting. How long the girl was! It seemed to 'him that she must have been gone for hours. Perhaps she had been oetaln ed, and it would be impossible for her to return. Still, knowing what a pas sionate little person she was, and ac customed pretty much to having her light tie saw that her face wore an an- gry expression. "What are yon dolnr? here?" He diil not answer, for the surprise of the meeting had checked his speech. She was a tall, handsome woman, and wore an evening dress that displayed her fine arms and bosom. In the moon- j light, with the dark trees around, she iwas a picture for a painter, She was swinging a garden hat back and forth In one Jewelled hand with an (angry gesture, then, stamping her foot, : she repeated the question. "I ask you again, Rlr, what are you doing in these grounds?" "It may be that I came to take a last look at the house of my friend, Mr. Ellison," he stammered. . "You might havt spared yourself the trouble since it is my house and not his," which was true, Dick knew, since the wife had the fortune. "And now, since you have seen it, go!" 'Yes," replied the young man, but making no move to leave. "I know that It was one of the fam ily you came to see," she continued with rising anger. "I congratulate Mr. In here like a thief In the night, to see my daughter, who is too young to know better." "Your daughter will never suffer at mv hands, madam," the anger rising within him, which he dared 'not give vent to. 'Enough! We will not discuss that matter. Your presence here in a suf- i flclent answer. And now I Insbrt as in on your going. Do you want me to ap- na 1 t ,t,a aaria nta " I 1 will go. I will go," murmured poor Dick, as he moved away, cursing hi misfortune In having encountered this beautiful fury at such a time. Once he looked back, only to find that she was still standing in the path looking after him. She doubtless meant to re- j main there until slin was suro that he wns on his way out of the park. With a sigh he went on hi way, until a turn of the path hid her from sight. Then he stopped for a moment to consider. Should he not be able to re turn by a circuitous way to the place where bo wu to watt for Grace? What would abe think If she arrived there and found that be was gone. Was it not worth braving even tne anger of Mrs. Ellison to try and see her again? Whio he wlas considering tbera after an agonizing cry In a woman's voict rang through the woods. Had some, thing happened to Grace? Without I moment's hesitation he dashed bad over the road he had just traversed. II was only a short distance before he al most stumbled over the figure of a woman on the ground. It was" verj dark at that point where she lay. H stopped and picket her up, carrying hei Into the light It was Mrs. Ellison. Hei eyes were closed, a strange pallor on her face. He laid her gently on the bank at the side of the road. Had shf fainted? It was strange that he should be the first to come to the assistance 01 a woman who had been .abusing blic but a few moments before. Had th excitement of that short Interview sc worked on her nerves that she had fainted? What was to be done? It was an embarrassing position for him to b in. There was nothing that he could do to help her and' yet help she need ed. Should he call for assistance' There seemed1 to be nothing else to do; he could not leave the poor womar there even if she had Insulted him. Then as he leaned over her, hoping to see some signs of returning con sciousness, a shuddering feeling of ter ror crept over him. There was t strange stain on the white silk waist, a stain that as he watched seemed to bt spreading slowly slowly. Filled with horror of the sight and the conscious ness that he was in the presence of thf victim of a tragedy, he looked around him with frightened eyes. Then he turned instinctively to bis hands they felt warm and strangely moist With a feeling of overcoming faintnest he stooped hastily and began to hur riedly clean them on the grass. It soemed as if it seemed as if the stains would never come out He was rising, eager to be on his way to the house and warn the people oi what had taken place. Then he felt a strong hand grasping his shoulder. He remembered trying to wrench himseli free. Then the confused sound of many voices, the flash of lanterns and im precations in which his name was min gled ,then a blow that mercifully seem ed to dispel all these distorted visions and a grateful oblivion that hid every thing. (To be continued.) PRAISE FOB. JOE AND DAK. Former Kansas City Fire Horses Por trayed in Harper's Weekly. Kanaas City Star: A full page illus tration of an article on the higher edu cation of the horse in a late issue of Harper's Weekly, shows the famous Kansas City Are horses, "Joe" and "Dan" going through their star per formance. The illustration is a repro duction of a photograph that is familiar to the people of Kansas City, who take pride in the fame achieved by the exhi bition fire team in Europe. "Joe" and "Dan" have passed away and have been succeded by "Buck" and "Mack," a fine pair of steeds that have in some re Bpects excelled their predecessors. There are also other teams of the Kan sas City Are department that are crowd ing the star horses for their laurels. Speaking of the 'higher education' of horses the article in question says: "The horses of the New York police department, the sh5w horses of the Kansas City fire .department and many of the horses of the military in Europe have received this higher education. Unquestionably one of the best trained fire teams in the United States is com posed of two white horses, 'Joe' and 'Dan,' which accompanied Chief Hale of Kansas City to the Paris exposition. Their display takes place in the open air instead of in an engine house. Th horses are placed a short distance away from the wagon and on a bugle call being sounded dash to the pole and are hitched. The harness is of the skeleton character, the collar having an opening at the bottom which enabes it to be held open by a man at each horse's head. As signals are given the horses hy a bugle, which they answer with percislon; also going through many intricate evolutions. One of the most exciting incidents of the drill is a leap through an arch of flames, showing how utterly regardless of fire these brave and intelligent animals are." HEMARKABLE FIGURES. Statistics Showing the Growth of Railroad3 in America. World's Work: From a little wood en track line along the Lackawaxen creek, where the first locomotive in the country had Its trial in 1829, the rail road systems of the United States have grown in 73 years to a network of rails which, straightened out, would make a single track extending eight times around the world.

Approaching the polished mahogany, he aeked. to make sure: "Do you have American jirlxed drinki?" "Yes," said the suave servitor. "All right," said Mike happily; make me a whisky cocktail."
