Chicago no longer sella to the middle west alone. In every state and territory of the Union last year, not even excluding Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba and Porto Rico, the . Chicago commercial traveler has - appeared with wares for sale. More than that, he has entered China and Japan and is again knocking at the doors of South Africa. 'He journeys to Mexico regularly and spends much of his time In Canada.

An Incident showing the valne of fuick wit In taking advantage of the \ situation In an emergency occurred on \the coast of England, where a number df -«ilot boats and fishermen, having been caught in a storm, ran for the ' harbor, but falling to get quite into safety made for the end of a long pier which was being erected where there was a ’Titan'’ crane., The boats were run under it and hitched on to the tackle, when five boats and 15 men In them were lifted bodily into port.

made clean wound treatment the new religion of safety for the countless number of otherwise doomed sufferers. The jajfie-dflctrine of cleanliness must necessarily infuse Itself Into all the • comprehensive systems of sanitary reform an d disease prevention. It-Is appropriately placed next to that of godlinesa. :n it* far-reaching beneficial ministrations. In its widest sense It ' controls all the baleful conditions of - unhealthy environment and stamps out pestilence by cutting off all opportunities for Its dissemination. - A good water supply, effective drainage, clean streets and pure air make any city healthy.

• travels is to “get there” In the shortest possible time. The time lost by the stopping of trains at stations to let off or take on passengers is abfelr regretted by the traveling public, which prefers the express trains to the slower moving accommodations. Con* sWering the great demand for faster ' trains and the efforts to build engines which are capable of great speed, Jt is strange that there has been no invention which would do away with stops for passengers, as kgs been done by the troughs for watering engines while in motion. A New York Inventor now offers to the railroads what be regards as a satisfactory method of letting off and taking on passengers while the train moves at its usual speed. The Invention consists of saddle care to straddle Uie express train. By a system of raised and lowered tracks the saddle car Is to be picked np at one station by the express and carried to the next station, the passenger* being transferred from one to the other In transit -- The Inventor estimates that his arrangement would cut dosrn the time

CHAPTER XIV.

OS THE ‘‘ZUtaABA” AGAIX. The Babylon stage rumbled out of Fire Island avenue upon the dock and paused for the passengers to alight 'the Zlngara lifted and fell upon the waves at the pier. The horse car was hurrying down to meet the boat and those passengers from the stage made haste to board the little steamer and

choose their seats.

Miss Bess Catherwood, yet boardihg st the Surf Hotel, came across

and among the old scenes of her plijess. Miss .Catherwood was patient for the steamer to rej dock that Lane Leland, beside her, course, declared that It was all could do to prevent her from jumping overboard and attempting to swim to land. But then Mr. Leland took

occasion tc tease Miss Catherwood,, whenever opportunity offered, to. re-i

pay her for her many cruelties to him. the moct unkind of all these being her utter, disregard of bis happiness by refusing to marry him before the next

November.

‘ There they arer cried Hits Catherwood. excitedly, clasping her hands around her lover’s arm with the tiniest, most delicious pressure, and then reaching forward to drag Alecia up on deck, her pretty face glowing with delight, ’'“Oh. Mrs. Graham'. You dead, dear, darting thing! Hbw well you look—hot then you always are well! You don’t know boV I have ■Imply lived on your letters! They were so delightful.

t “Of coarse they did!” retorted Bess, scornfully. “Don’t ask such commonplace questions. Lane. Everybody goes abroad nowadays, and OTerybody has a good time, though they wonldnT tell you so for worlds. It is such a horrid fashion to be too languid to enjoy anything. I simply cannot be fashionable to that extent, and I’ll not try to. As tnough fashion shall tell me what I shall like and what I shall set aside! It’s absurd. I am able to think for my own self, and approve of myself, and like what I want to. Nevertheless you did have a lovely time,

The lovely color mounted even to the girl’s dark hair, and tonched the spft lace at her throat The wide, black eyes were shy, now lifted to her friend. They spoke etch to the other; .and no one else heard. “But I wanted to be very, very «ure.” said tbe pretty cbild-woman shyly, “that I really did care only for him, Alecia, and be for me; because," who could resist those sweet pleading eyes or the trembling red mouth or that hint of a dimple about tbe Ups, "everybody said I was too thoughtless, you know; to care for any one for long, and I wouldn’t for anything marry Lone if I wouldn’t love him always. for It wonld make me so unhappy, thinking that I may have kept him from loving some one else.

It would be Just like you to do It, only I won't acknowledge yon if yon did. That’s run down to the ground so low that I am almost ashamed to accuse

yon of it, you poor dear!"

She paused for breath, laughing with them at her own volubility, but so happy that, like a pleased child,

must vent

s and Inn pats and dimpling smiles and flashes from under her curled black lashes. For -Miss Bess Catherwood was as wicked as’.of old. with her pretty, bewitching ways, that won her friends In spite of their professed scorn of

her frivolity.

•Then pray don’t accuse me of It, Bess,” said Cora, easily, a strange deepening of her color and drooping of the silken lashes, “for I come back to you with Just as whole a heart as I went away. I could not do anything else, you know, being patriotic, though I must confess that dear, lovely, gay Paris almost won me over. We had two such winters there, Bess Cather-

Her thoughts traveled more swiftly than the steamer, knowing who would meet her there. “Yes.” she said, “even the ocean sickens Cora, though I was ill but one day. Lots of the passengers were inclined to be homesick. I can tell you. and wfoh that they had never been tempted away from' land. Poor things! It was pathetic. Especially after Kathryn’s cruelty to Dick Chester! He, tried so patientiy to win her over to remaining In Rome, yob know. But even the sea-sickness wouldn’t: daunt her. She would be married In America, she said, or nowhere; so. of course, poor Dick chose, the least of ( these evils." ’ . . “And Marion Is to be married In October T' spld Bess, reflectively, speaking rather shyly, because she stood considerably in awe of Marlon’s calm.

I don’t make It so.” Alecia smiled kindly upon the pretty, brightly colored face beside her. laying fart hand over the small hand

on the;railing.

Alecia was cxqulaltely beautiful In her dove-gray dress and delicate bonnet of lace. Everything abuot her seemed Infused with her personality and became parts of herself. Her friends sometimes said that things turned to perfect womanliness from mere contact wlffj ..her. But*.Alecia always smiled at this lavish phtise from her friends. Her sunny # hair
