Then Roy came forward)and bent with haughty grace over Inpz' slender hand, while his -very soul seemed to cirink in her beauty. While they were standing there an other gentleman crossed the piazza, and Hester flew to the window. "Come in here, Deane. My sister has come, and I want you to welcome her." The next moment Deane Stanley was welcoming the new-comer. One, hour later Inez stood before the mirror in the rooms allotted to her, looljjing at her own beautiful face, her thoughts reverting to Roy Belden and his look of passionate admiration. "And he is the promised husband of that little dowdy pale-face ,, well"— with a faint "laugh—"if ever he did love her, which I rather doubt, I can lure him from her, chain .. him to my if Fate is' Idud, I will yel be mistress of his stately home." If he ever loved her? This was a question Roy asked himself when he thought of Hester, as the days rolled on and he felt the power of Inez' mid night eyes and curving lips luring him on to madness. He had no thought at first of being false to Hester, but as the summer passed, he felt the power of Inez' siren loveliness, holding him in a thrall he could not break. Not that he tried very hard, for self-love was a gift the gods had not deprived him of, and so "Red hps smiling, lured him on. Bright eyes beaming, held his soul, Till a languorous, dreamy spell Bound his heart beyond control Till faith, and truth, and honor gone. Till conquering passion stood alone Where love had smiled before." Hester watched it all with a strange, dull, aching pain at her tender heart that slowly turned to wonder and con tempt. Was this her Bayard—her knight without fear or reproach—this wavering lover who had proved false to his troth? She struggled bravely against the thought, and,, then—ah, then she could doubt no longer after the fatal day she stood beneath the drooping syrin gas in the old-fashioned garden below the western gable of the homestead. She saw "them together, Inez and Roy—saw him pleading for her love, almost kneeling before her in the passion of the moment, and then—nay, she was not mad nor dreaming!—Roy had taken Inez in his arms, kissing the creamy palor of her face, the curving crimson of her hps, and call ing her his darling, his beautiful one. White as death, with a strange, dead ly faintness stealing over her, Hester turned away. She had loved Roy Beldon, if not with a woman's deepest love, with all a girl's shy, sweet ten derness, and she had trusted him en tirely—would have staked her veuy life on his honor and truth. She turned up the pathway again. Suddenly' a strange darkness seemed to envelop her, and dimly she saw Deane Stanley coming toward her- Deane Stanley who had been as a son *o her father—a brother to herself His face paled as he saw her. "Hester! Child! What is it?" She made him no answer, only held •out her hands like a tired child, and then, ere he could reach her swaying form, she sunk white and senseless at his feet. He lifted her in his arms. "My darling! My darling! Oh! the coward, but his punishment will be deep enough, or my name is not Deane Stanley." The strange deadly faintness was only momentary, and coming to her self, Hester heard the passionate "dar ling" and felt the kisses that fell upon her hands, and realizing with a feel ing of pain, a pain that yet thrilled her strangely,, that not as friend or .brother Deane Stanley loved her, but as man loves the one "fair woman in all the world for him. With all her gentleness, Hester Leightori was singularly proud, and with smiling lips and cold, haughty eyes she ,gave Roy Beldon his. freedom. What if the pallor of her face was ly calm and cool. One evening some months later, they, were all in the music room together, Hester at the piano, her slender* fin gers running listlessly over the keys. Inez, radiant in her Imperial beauty, resting in a. low easy chair, with Roy Beldon lingering at her side. Deane Stanley 'had ^been abroad on business, and he had just returned flhe day beforehand now he stood leaning idly against the piano, a peculiar ex pression in his eyes, as they rested on Roy Beldon. "Do you know, Roy, he said, "I am more generous than I ever deemed my self, for were I not, the story I am going to tell, would be untold, till after your wedding day." Something in his voice had startled them from their composure, and Inez' beautiful face had grown strangely pale. Suddenly Deane went over to her side. "Confess the truth," he said, "and mercy will be shown you—confess you are not Inez Leighton, but the child of her mother's sister! That the changing of the children was a concoc tion of your own subtle brain—con fess that the true Inez died in her in fancy, and that you, having the proofs of her birth in your possession, usurped her place." White as death Inez rose to her feet. There was no need to confess the truth was written on her face. She turued to Roy with passionate, questioning eyes, but it seemed the glamor of her beauty had fallen from him, as he realized the truth, and he stepped back coldly. "Is it true?" he said "answer. Is She looked at him with scornful eyes, then turned to Hester: "What are you going to .do?" she said. "Nothing," Hester answered. "I will give you time to leave—time to go back to your own sunny land, before a word is spoken. We only know your sin—your own heart its temptation." "Ycu are generous," Inez said, look ing at her with mocking eyes. "You even forgive me for stealing your love^' Without another word she turned and left the. room, and none there ever looked at her beautiful face again. Without glancing at Roy, Hester laid her hand on Deane's arm. "Come out to the garden," she said. "I feel as if I were dying in here. Oh, Deane, you proved your suspicions true." Next day a letter was placed iu Hes ter's hand. "I dare not ask you to forgive, but in the future you may look with less scornful eyes upon? my madness, and this hope I take abroad with me. —Roy,". Three years have passed—years in .which, Hester has passed frftRJLIM}. nn formed '-girl into a slender^ graceful" woman, with a face whose beauty would attract attention anywhere. A polished woman of the wA-ld, the acknowledged belle and beauty of her set, she met Roy Beldon again. If Roy had not loved her in,the past, he certainly loved her now—the old passionate glamor with which a siren had enveloped hiin seemed a matter of self-contempt but this was love, the best, the purest love he was capable of—and who can give more? Deane Stanley watched it all with grave, proud eyes, and smiled when people spoke of them as lovers. All his life he had loved Hester Leighton, but what had he to offer her? A loyal heart and willing hands to the heiress of Suncliffe! One evening he sought her—sought her in the quiet stillness of the gloam ing. "I have come to say good-bye for awhile," he said "business calls me away, and it may be years before I return." Was he mistaken, or did the sweet face pale? "We will miss you," she said. "Who are we?" he said, perfectly unconscious of his rudeness in the pas sion and pain of the moment. "Well, it is rather egotistical to think I could vouch for the feelings of oth ers. I meant society in general and myself in particular, Deane." He laughed bitterly. "Well, Roy Beldon can console you now, Hester." She looked at him with questioning eyes, and then a faint smile curved her lips. "It would take a great many Roy Beldons to console me. Oh, Deane, Deane!" breaking down suddenly, a red flush sweeping her face. "Hester, darling, do you mean "I mean Roy Beldon asked me to be his wife, and 1 simply answered 'No.'" "If I asked you, Hester, my dar ling Whether he asked her then or not is only surmise, but one thing is sure, the gloaming fell around a pair of well contented lovers, and its shadows hid the passionate kisses of the lover who had won the purest, deepest love of Hester Leighton's tender heart. How It Seemed. When old Mr. Sawyer of Scramtown n^ade his first visit to the city he saw and heard a great many new and strange things, but he was always wary in his comments. 1 One day his little granddaughter en ticed him into a restaurant, and lead ing him to a small table, proceeded to order some -eclairs, a delicacy of which she was extremely fond. "I know you'll like them, grandpa," she said, coaxingly and the old gentle man bravely attacked the unfamiliar object. "Isn't it delicious, grandpa?" inquired the little girl, seeing a strange expres sion come over her grandfather's face as he :took his first mouthful. "Well, I presume to say it may be," said Mr. Sawyer, in a non-committal tone, "but doesn't it appear to you to be '.lest a leetle inite under-baked in the middle?"

The machine is a simple contriv ance, consisting of a table covered with iron bricks molds, to which the electric current is applied. The table is 14x8 feet and holds 1,000 molds, which are joined together like a lot of "pigeon holes." Each mold is the size of a brick which has been pressed but not baked, and each has a looser cover so fitted as to follow the brick as it shrinks. The bricks are taken from the presses and placed in the molds, the covers adjusted and the cur rent turned on. The iron sides of the molds form the "resistance" and the bricks are virtually inclosed by walls of fire. When the bricks have shrunk to the right size, the sinking covers of the molds automatically turn off the current, the baking is done and the bricks are dumped. When bricks are burned by the ordinary process, three days are taken for the baking. By his process he claims that he can bake them in three and a half hours. It is claimed at the same time that the bricks are baked harder and better than by the present process. A Late Improvement in Metal Working. One of the latest mechanical' im provements in metal working is a sys tem of rolls for wrapping narrpw plates of steel into a bar, which is much stronger than a solid piece of the same size. The reason assigned for this additional degree of strength, remarks the Boston Journal of Com merce, is the simple fact that, if the outside layer of metal' is broken the inner layers are intact and will re sist further strain, while in the case of a piece of solid steel the rupture of the skin is fatal. The seams in these wrapped bars are said to be scarcely apparent to the naked eye, only appearing when the metal is bent over and twisted off, which, of course, requires a great amount of force. The advantage of using these wrapped bars under certain conditions will be better understood and appreciated when it is considered that steel frequently bears a stronger resemblance to a re fined, ductile cast, iron than to a fibrous wrought iron, and partakes so largely of the character of cast iron that a small scratch, on its surface may cause s^SC®^S!il5ftrtf^hi€rpiece"is^sotid-an3 exposed to vibratory strains. Rapid Growth of Malleable Iron. The rapid increase in the capacity of malleable iron foundries through extensions of old plants, and the build ing of a number of new ones, and is attributed mainly to the expansion of the business of agricultural imple ment manufacturers, who are heavy purchasers of malleable castings. But the consumption of malleables has also increased in many other directions, and large establishments are to be found that do not to any considerable extent depend upon the agricultural trade. The growth of the manufacture of small wares, in almost infinite vari ety, is proceeding at a rapid rate, and for, many of these malleable castings are demanded. Makers of coke pig iron are attacking with considerable success this last stronghold of charcoal iron, which has hitherto been deemed indispensable for malleable castings. Special qualities of coke pig iron are being made for this purpose, and it is asserted that the percentage of coko iron used has not reached its limit. Not Like Modern War.

BEMABKABLE PEOGBESS. WONDBEFITL IMPROVEMENTS IK TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. Che Exhibits at the Transportation Building' at the World's Fair Are of Unusual Interest—Comparison Between the United States, and Foreign Countries. Jackson Park, Special Correspond ence—There are branches of industry and mechanical skill in which America is, of course, expected to excel all for eign nations, such as in heavier ma chinery and in labor-saving machinery, in leather goods and in manufactures in wool, and in electrical, lightning and motive power. The great stretch of territory from Maine to California and from Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico, with its moving tide of population, has also forced another branch of mechanical industry into great and rapid develop ment upon this continent. The United States with 170,000 miles of railroad, more than that of all the rest of the world, had of necessity to develop the cheapest and most effective means of transportation for passengers and heavy commodities in order to com pete with small nations in the mar kets of the world. Ten years ago the railroads of the United States carried nine times as much freight as the whole merchant marine of Great Britain. The development of this stupendous internal commerce at the expense of our foreign trade and shipbuilding in dustries was quite enough for the en ergy of our people to undertake at one time. In. forty years it has reduced the practical business of transportation almost to a science, and has separated it into two branches, that of carrying the heaviest loads at the least expense and that of carrying passengers at the greatest rate of speed and at the least expense. Engines are now constructed which almost every day haul a hun dred loaded cars. The greatest tri umph in speed for a- passenger train was registered the other day, when a special train now regular traversed the distance between Chicago and New York over the Michigan Central road 980 miles in twenty hours, a sustained average .speed, including all' delays of 49 miles per hour. During this trip the speed of upwards of 80 miles per hour was made. This makes an era in the history ®f rapid transit, and places the United States ahead in the matter of passenger transportation as it has been in the transportation of heavy goods and freight. There is no better .way of seeing or understanding the wonder ful changes and advances which have been made in transportation during the last fifty years. There is probably more to be learned. of the industrial history of the United States in the transportation building upon the world's fair grounds than in any other of the great structures. Nearly all the railroad exhibits are taken up in the historical order, and consequently fur nish material for the student no less than of thought to the casual ob server. Taking the railroad exhibit as a whole, -it is a very imposing one, and causes all displays from foreign na tions of a similar character to dwindle into insignificance. There are cars de signed for every imaginable purpose in way of freight from carrying the chickens, cattle, horses and hogs" up to carrying the United States mails. There are heavy freight engines of all kinds—ten wheelers, one of which ex hibited by the Baldwin locomotive works weighs 207 tons, large drive wheelers, gray hounds for passenger traffic and many others. There are many examples of com pound engines and engines designed for turning short curves upon mountain roads. The Pullmans make a very fine exhibit of passenger coaches and a model of the works at Pullman nearly fifty square feet. The Northern Pacific Railroad company has a train consist ing of an engifEe and three observation coaches filled with cereal, game and mineral products of the country through Which they pass. The English display is also a striking one. It embraces an engine with first, second and third class coaches. The engine is built with seven-foot drive wheels, yet experts say that it will not "make as good time as many American eugings constructed with only six-foot drive wheels. regulation compartment style highly finished within and without. No ex pense seems to have been spared in the upholstery business. The compart ments are narrow^ and exclusive with out the ordinary accommodations of the poorest American road. They are excellent, however, for a class of peo ple who do not care to associate with the common herd or even apparently with equals. The coaches are of tfi* The French exhibit amounts to* com paratively nothing. The English* have taken great pains to display the scenery by means of photographs along their lines of road and in this way are en abled to advertise their routes and at the same time make a very creditable exhibit as a competitive display. In the matter of railway develop ment, however, perhaps we have an un fair advantage over the foreigners on acount of the great incentive of our magnificent diftances and the wonder ful growth of our internal conimerce, but there is another branch with which we compete with all the foreign nations upon an equal and common ground. I refer to the various vehicles of herse locomotion. The American display of carriages covers a vast area of tne north end of the transportation build fog, and for variety, excellence and novelty excels anything in the opinion of veteran carriage men which has erer been made in the line of a vehicle dls- play. From the lightest toy boy pony candle was extinguished by other cart up to the heavy lumber and di ay means than burning itself out—Lon wagonfr everything imaginable in the don Spectator line of road carriages and wagons are-' here upon display. The Americans have also exhibited a wonderful orig inality and taste in many of the new designs presented. They have not -only excelled all of the foreigners in origi nality of design, but in interior and exterior decoration of carriages and in the fineness of woodworkaaanship, but also in-taste in making the display and in variety and number of speci mens exhibited. It presents in its fullest conception the glory of Ameri can originality and workmanship and perhaps moye than any other exhib£| appeals to the pride of the America! who has been in the habit of seei^rj I our countrymen excelled in matters decorative finish and decoration of al kinds when they come into competl tion with the foreigners. The onl: country which wiil at all bear any com parison in exhibit with that of th United States is France. The 1 est competition was expected to couii from Great Britain, in tandems an tally-hos, but they have present^: nothing original in design or novel an' attractive in finish. The American dis play has many new ^desiirns in hunting carts, family carnages, tally-hos, tan dems, omnibuses, in all kinds of wagons chaises, hacks, hansoms, sleighs, etc. American carriage makers are jubilant over general results, and feel that thoy will have no competition from foreign nations to speak of, ex cept, perhaps, a few designs in talley hos and some silver and gold-mounted harness. The most noticeable differ ence in the construction of carriages between American and foreign makes is the lightness and beauty of con struction characteristic of all work of the kind turned out in this country. For instance, all light family carriages have the width of feloe reduced to fifteenth-sixteenths of an inch, while the foreign make cannot get below an inch and a quarter and more often an inch and a half. The spokes are also equally light and graceful in the American make, and the hubs are par ticularly graceful in outline and finish as compared with all foreign makes. The exterior finish of American vehi cles is superior to anything which I have.seen in foreign makes, and even in the upholstery where I expected to see the Americans suffer by comparison they are able to equal and often sur pass the best French workmanship. Of course, much of the American superi ority of workmanship is due to the su perior excellence of American wood for fine work, but this cannot account for the finish nor the originality of de sign. I had a talk the other day with one of the leading New York carriage makers, who informed me that it ap peared to him that Americans could have-no competition now in the for eign markets if they really would take hold of the matter and push the sale of their carriages in foreign countries. He said that he had about come. gojiclysion to send the inimitable American 'Trummer^"? right into the stronghold of the enemy in the European countries and endeavor to sell American makes of vehicles in competition with the best of them. He pointed out to me a hunting cart, so beautifully painted, that it looked as if it had been sheathed in white satin and said: "I do not think you can find a carriage finished equal to that anywhere in the world, and I consider it only an average specimen of Ameri can hand work. The American people are the stimulators of such work as that, because they are remarkably fine judges of good workmanship, and will patronize no other. It has stimulated us to do our best, and you see the re sults." The excellence of the workman ship seems not to be confined to any locality of this country but to the ex hibits of all states from Minnesota to the Atlantic and southward to Ten nessee. In contrast with this exhibit in the transportation building, however, we must put the remarkably fine displays of the great British shipbuilders in the line of models. The Cramps of Phila delphia have furnished models of all the great vessels Bunt for the' AmerL-„ can navy in the model warship Rfichi gan, on the lake, hence they do not come into direct contrast with the British models in the transportation building. The model of the British armored battle ship "Victoria" has nothing to compare with it in the American display. The United States, however, furnishes the great show of the transportation building and far, oyertops all competitors.—Ralph Mci :-i- 1 A SMART YOUNG POACHER. How a Cunning Lad Managed Catch Rabbits Galore. ,.^1 On a property where the rabbit shoot ing was strictly preserved, upon the southern coast of England, a boy was once caught With two dead rabbits in his possession, and nothing else that would account for their decease. A search of his pockets revealed nothing but two live crabs of small dimensions, the end of a candle and a box of matches. Under promise of release the urchin was persuaded to disclose his method of procedure. First he selected a likely burrow and then he stripped off his clothes, put ting his coat over one hole, his trousers-"^ over another and his shirt over the third. He lit the candle and dropped* a little of the grease upon a crab's jf back and stuck the lighted candle thereon and then put the crab at an unoccupied. opening. Straightway the frightened torch-bearer fied sideway^ into the darkness and explored the inJ nermost depths, while the boy, expect ant as a terrier, awaited events out side. Presently a rabbit bolted intoNthftr. coat and boy, rabbit and coat all rolled' over together, the boy rising from the fray with the rabbit in his clutehes. What happened to the crab the .history did not relate. Let us hope that the
