Oao Norember cTcnlng m to w year* ago I hid occasion to travel from Can non itrcet to Spa road itaUon. on tbe SoatLouUra railway. It tad% bero a cold, to fry da j Ibronf Uoot. and there wete comparatively few paasrorrra Hip compartment whlcb I entered— a «fccnd-clau — had but one prerionj 00enpant,a,iLoatly*bnli man of thirtyfive or forty. He wax attempting, with ; evidently small mcceas, to read a, book- ; end be fidgeted about n hU oeeal In j ralbrr a teaty faahlon. Having a doubt at to the regularity of tbo trains on tuch an evening, I said 1 1 'I aappoae tbls ttost stSparoad f" ** Spa road I Ol course it doc*.M said ' tills gentleman, wltb what I considered • unnecessary vehemence. "All these trains stop at By a road." "DonY thank me. sir," bo said, a moment later. "I only answered a simple question— a fcol or madman coulddo thai." 4AS44JM *-w I 44

Here the train slowly moved off, and I tl, «fc4«l«r whoaa l«r* I had ant Mtl .. seen, rr*nmed his efforts to read, mut- w tering cow and again an lmprrcatkm at I the eipczse cf the fog and tbecold. | p. When we reached the glsss dome of ^ the ben ugh market the train came to a stop, and for the first lime I found my- 1 self In a position to obtain a good view of my fellow passenger. Hitherto he I had obstinately kept his b*ck or ahouh 1 den toward mc. Now be threw his I volume down on the seat and faced about. He waj, as 1 haTO said, a man * tn the full prime of life. Rather over the * average height, he had tbo broad M 1 shoulders, full chest and ncrrous hands c I of an athlete. The Impression which E I his features produced was decidedly un- 1 1 ! pleasant. Yet saw for the eyes, which had a peculiar and Indescribable glare I f In tbem, the face was not an unhand- t seme one. " I did m tknow that we were ao close . to the Crystal palace," he sald.brusqutly. I 0 Tbo Crystal palace r I said. In some 1 surprise. M We are not near lbs Crystal palace." M The fog has affected your eyesight, > my friend," was the reply. "Trouble M yourself to look out of this window." < M0h, thalP I said, smiling. MYou|' Uka jour }oxe. sir, X perceive- Tht I* Borough market must feel flattered. In* I deed, to be mistaken for the Sydenham palace." " Borouru market I Of course, U was only my Joke;" I an g ted my companion. I But there was no mirth in the laugh. I He now took up his book again and made another attempt to read. Though 1 ba fixed his eyes on the page and era now and again turned a leal, It was j evident that his rending was Utile better I than a pretense. Indeed, It was aodark in the carriage that to see the small characters In an ordinary volume had . become quite I mpoaslkla, Whllshe was I 5 thus engaged the train reached Ixmdou bridge. Tbo moment we entered the I station mv compinlou. who had drawn nearrr ma, returned to his eeat In the | corner farthest from the platform From ! this he gasrd with evidently eager Interest on the people passing and repassing the carriage door. As at Cannon street, the number of thesa was not I great, and we were still alone when tba train again moved off. The moment we were outside the stal- tlon a change came over my fellow paeaenrr. lit threw his book on the floor and rocs to bis feet. Illtbetto 1 f had.'b* ng pra-oceupled with my own thoughts, Iven small bead to him. I Now. without knowing why, I felt or ' sell fascinated.

While not I feeling the least dread of him I was yet not without a strong desire to reach Spa 1 roaJ. As bad luck would have It.whlle I yet we had not made half the short jour* 1 ccy, the train again came to a sudden I ■top^ Yes, he would be a public benefao- 1 tor who could deliver the people of Lon- I don from fog," I said. "lie would, would he notf" whls- 1 pcred my companion, eagerly. "Then I I am the man." As bespoke he crouched down and I looked up at me with a glare that made mc start. He buttoned his coat and pulled up hij sleeves, as he whispered again: " I am the man. 1 can frt« you from these fogs— I can free myself." For the first time the thought now flashed into my mind that I was alone with a madman. I recognised now that wild light in his eyes, thai strange twitching at the corners of the mouth. I di not suppose that I am constitutionally more timid than most oi my urighbots; yet at this moment I felt a I cold sweat break all over me, and I know I that I looked eagerly out In the darkness I I hoping that as now the train wasilowlr I I moving we were near the station. 1 1 saw only the thick fog and the feeble I ■ light of here and there a Lamp. | Yea, the man was mad, raving mad. « There oould be no doubt about it. Only j L I a maniao could laugh the mirthless I 0 I laugh which now came from his throat, I I as he drew two steps nearer mc and I hissed at me : " We shall travel together I P I to the moon, Adlea to the fogs; say | with me, adieu to the fogs." s I 1 was now erect watching my 00a- j pan lon latently, nerving myself for a I struggle, which il was easy to tell was 1 very near. I could easily sec I was no * match for such an antagonist. My hope I 1 was that I might hold my own for tbel few minutes necessary to reach Spa | t road, where plenty of assistance would I j be available. " Your balloon would scarcely travel 1 I I oa such a night," I saLd, with affected I I Indifference. "The atmoiphcn) L too •thick." ••Too thick 1 Do you think so?" he I I said. 1 M " I do.

"Well, there's something In that," he ro rib* trUl. Yes, It U worth a trial." He sprang anew to his feel, and apiroacbed me. He threw out his strong unds, and made a clutch at my throat. "This Is how we begin, this ii how I ^t the gas for the trip. I kill you first | o give you start. Then I ^atart myself j ind follow you " One shout I gave for ; lelp, but it was lost In the report of a [or signal; then we were swaying backirard and forward In the carriage In a druggie which was literally for llfo or lealh. The madman's breath came hot 3n my face, bis strong arms held me h a lerce embrace. There was a fierce joy in his eyes. t v The foa. : worked out of his mouth, and his teeth gnashed angrily against each other. • ... f. -M J t f.H .a l«,1lnt(lnn

I shouted fr again and again for help, and bow I bi longed lor Spa road no words can di describe. The train was now running u at a good rate, and I knew the station " could not be far off.

One can easily comprehend the main ingredients of candy, but who. without being told would inspect that chewing gum Is often, only a refined product o! petroleum f time - was when the fn grant spruce furnished the most common material purpose.

The reader, familiar with the processes of refining coal, is awarv that the thick, brown liquid which comes from \hf earth, al one stage of ill manufacture, is strained through besrj linen cloths. The residuum left alter this opcjmtloft li a dirty, brownish yellow wax that smells abornI melted, bleached, dtodohttu-^rfi "prepared for com as tree, appears tn mosses that weigh about one hundred pounds, resembling obfong blocks ol clouded ice.
