It Is woll for u ttint, whllo on this earth ovory tiling coo.1 ami IwaUtl ful Is aliort-IUcnl, pas4ln7aHiHllly away, ovll and wronir am also liut a question of tlmo, and hare tlielr onJ. "All tilings como to Mm who will wait," lon Vvlas(uni's over of ctll had spread Itsolf over a long and busy life tlmo--hal held full sway from tho tiny ho hatt enterisl his teens until his hair was turning gray. With tho exception of tho fow years wlion ho posed as an honest merchant, his active mind had always licen bent on evil. Ho had caused tho Innocent to suiter for tho guilty; had rohtxHl men of thn hard earned accumulations of years, and women of their virtue; had stained his hand in hlood until murder eaum ui natural to him as tho killing of a hub lwU lo a hu toiler; he had drawn Uittor nature i do n to evil and madu crime the study of his life. Hut tho day of retribution was fast closing in upon him. Tho murder of Mario Dolaro was soon to Ihi avenged, and huforo long ho would roallio tho awful Justice uf tho old Mosaic law "A llfo for a llfo." And yot how poor a recompense llobbod of her llfo liapplnosi whan It was just beginning to asiort Itsolf, all that tho victim's widow rocolred In ro turn was tho knowledge that retribution had dually overtaken tho ono who had robbed her of her treasure. And, compared to Valasquca, what a (earful price had she paid to secure lo vengo. Tho best part of her life had boon spent' wasted, In fact. In running to earth a monstrosity who had at last fallen Into hor hands through sheer ac cident (as tho greater part of tho world would say), though there aro tlioso who would sou In such an accident tho won derful machination of an unrelenting Iiuler, who has said: "Vongeanco is mine." Novor until now hid Velssquot ro fleeted on tho possible results of tho ro pulslvo acts of Ills life. Ills immunity from discovery had only tended to lianlon his soul and ho had ever boon prompted by ono Impulse only greed for wealth-which when acquired had novor brought him any genuine pleas ure, lie bad never onco stopped to think of the price his victims paid to satisfy his own Insatiate desires, lie had boon aborlxd in self and had lived a life lu which none others shared a pirt. Hut now that the h lllsh conceits of his debated mind could only spend thomselxos on four prison walls, ho was forced to think. Loon Velasquez, running riot as ono of tho most active of the devil's em mlssirlns, had novor paused to think of the exactness with which (iod's mills grind all, had never thought It worth his while to consider that thosu who es cape tho milt i tho longest aro In tho ond ground more quickly and relont lessty. Ho was In the mills now and tho groat atonos woro beginning to re volve: so closely, so surely Increasing tho speed of their revolutions ovory mo ment, novor to coaso grinding until tho grist should Imi fine as the finest powder. His nights grow restless, stoop al most forsook him, and tho llttlo snatches of napping which ho did sometimes secure were only fitful slumbers dtsturhod by horrible dreams which brought to his mind In turn, like a moving panorama, thn scones of his devilish acts. Hold as he had boon through life, ho now shuddered under the nhadow of tho gallows, and so fear ful was the mental torture that at times ho wished that tho end might be speedy. When the ImiIis shot Into their sock ets across ills prison door all hoxi lied, and he know full well that ho would, after nil tlioso yean of liberty, meet tho kn.tltv ot his great ist crime. I'roiu tho hour of hit arreit ho hail been niooly, and entirely ceased to speak to those who appro ichod him. Ho neither ex press id a hope of escape nor murmured at his fate. Somo Imagined that tho terriblo vUlout of a Just punishment were perliaps tno cause ot his silence, though otheri avowed that ho vvai only mndltating a bold and llual plungu for liberty. Ho that as it might, ho per sisted in a morose reticence. While ho lingered In prison Mm. ! laroanth'T friend i wero taking a reit from tlio In-.onsi) ex"iteinent at a pretty llttlo HiiglWh watering pi nee, trying In vain to forget for a tlmo tho Una! trage dy lu which they must tako an Import ant part. Mr, lllodgor had boon completely out done by tho scones ho had witnessed. Ho made a hurried determination to re turn to America and novor again assist at such exciting performance. lie re ci'lvod so severe a nervous shock that all tho poetry of his soul was crushed out, and ho was compelled to postpone for an Indotlnlto period tho writing uf an ovlo to Father Thames, In which ho bad nvowelhii Intention of putting avail amount uf research, labor and thought. Tlio world was thus rubbed of auothor literary goni. Ho was truo to his word, and a week after Velasquez's Incarceration Mr. Illolger's llttlo party of friends accom panied hi in to Kuston station and bade him "liod spued" on his Journey home. A Unit live weeks later Mrs. Dolaro, Annlda and Percy returned to London to meet tho American detectives, who bad arrived with thooxtradltlon papers. lipi al L V ' ' s) w "ll r ui: 'kiii- ruorKKiiui x suoor.v TION." It required but a short space of tlmo to perfect tho arrangements (or Velasquei's removal to California soil, where tho law required that ho should tako his trial fur the crime of murder. Kvery lxly concerned was anxious to start as soon at MMiiblo, and ll was arranged that tho prisoner should Imi taken by tho same steamer as the others, and no ono made any demur In this except Armlda. When nho heard the decision she said: "Wo must not travel on the same ship with that man. I am sure soniolhlng dreadful will happen ho will 1m a vorlwblo Jonah." "What nonsen-ie you talk, my child. Such atMiird fori'lwdlngs nuverenter my mind." sild her mother. Here Percy proffered a suggestion. "If you ladles would prefer sailing on some other ossel, 1 will secure passage fur yoi. I ur n t pi".. I do net with to leave the prison ir again, until i leavo him lu a felon's grave. I want to know all the tl tix that be Is safe." ' Liactly my fcullngt in the matter," said Mrs. Delaro. Th s seemed to selt'o tho question, for Armlda sa.d' "Tlion. since you aro determined, I suppose I u.ust consider myse;f overruled " llousoqo.tntly, arrangomontl woro completed ant a fow days later tho parly nlartod for Liverpool. Tho ship on which their passage had been bocured was the "Dunrohln Cas tle " It was an unpopular steamer and hal boon purpose. y selected to avoid publicity and goiilp on aeeount of tho prisoner. As they steam d down the Meriey and over the bar theday v"as one of the mint enjoyable which could have Uteu wtih 'd for. There was a delight ful breeze blowing from the sua, and tho tomM'raturn was agroeahlo. With this kind of weather they wero favored until they passed the I'astnet Point, when a deep (eg settled on them. This in turn passed away by the evening of the next day. an t Ihey weruonco more nteamlug under xuiiny skies. Hill only for alxiul twenty-four hours, at the end of which time they encountered a storm and were toised aliout In a violent manner for dayi together. The old steamer w hlch carried them was none too good a lo a boat al the Ixtsl of times, liut now she acted In n moil eccentric manner and seemed entirety at tho mercy and will of the waves. Neither Mrs. Dolaro nor Percy had as yot foil alarmed, hut Armlda, who was, In tho most favorable Heather, only a poor sailor, oxporloncod terrible torture and clalmod tier mother's attention nil tho time. What with the statu o( the weather anil tho cries an 1 moans which roso (roin tho omlgrantt in the steerage, tho "Dunrohln Castle" was any thing but tho pluasantest place on tho Atlan tic. For days together tho raging storm continued, and it was not until the slow old boat had been ten dayi at sea that tho tompost subsided. When It did thoro was a worse danger lu store (or them. They wero on the Newfound land banks In a (og, so thick that the olllrers on tho bridge woro entirely uu able to nee the ship's nose ni she plunged through tho heavy swell left liy tho slorm. The fo.'-whistle's con tinuous roar only added to the general confusion which reigned on board, and when tho responding whistle of a past ing steamer was heard It only Increased tho dread and apprehension of the pas Bongor'. After about thirty-six houri of this commotion the people quluted down and many seemed to have become as much accustomed to It as old soa dogs with the experience of a ll'o-timo. Hut at daybreak one morning a dull, heavy thud was (elt through the vusu l, and a second later shrlehi and cries rent tho air, which would havo made tho heart o( any listener other than an old sea captain stand s HI. Thou fol lowed a low momuutsnt siispjnso will eh was quickly changed to horror when tho engineers ran up on deck shouting: "Tho ship Is filling. To the boats!" Then followed the rush of hurrying, scurrying Humanity from tlio ntoorago, terror plainly graven on nvery face, while ovaranl atuvj tho niln aid confusion rang out lh resonant tones of tho Captain's voice shouting order i lo tho boatswain. The force of habit ap peared oven on thai scone of danger ai tho nallors shouted: "V'heavo I lo." whllo they lowered tho HIo-Ikj.Hi from their itavitl. Lauder than all these sounds and far abovo tho goneral ex citement rolgnlng on the "Dunrohln Castle" could Imi heard tho shrinking whistles of tho steamer which had struck her, and which was rounding to, In order to give all posslblu assistance In saving the lives of those on board tho fast sinking lioat. ll was not long tMiforn thn unknown steamer was almost alongside, anil then commenced tho work of transfrrrlng tho passengers not an easy matter In a raging sex The patience of tho olll ccrs was tried to tho utmost. Strong, rude mon would try to push women and children aside in their wild ultorti to be llrst ') enter the life-boats, only to Ui t i 0 drhon liack by thn ship's nfllcers at tho nosea of their revolvers. Occasionally ono more daring than the rest would thrust a woman aside and try to pass her, but with a blow from tho butt end of his re Nolver, the captain would knock him senseless, with tho promise of similar treatment to the next who should daro to make the attempt All this limn the ship was rapidly filling and it became apparent Wyond a perad venture that before many more minutes tho "Dunrohln Casllo" would sink forover Into tho depths of tho ocean. It required several trips of tho llfe-loats to transfer all thn passengers, hut this difficult task was finally accoin pllshed. The last load was Inilng taken and none but the officers wero nupHisud to bo en Injard, when suddenly the two dotictlves In charge of Velasquez camo rushing up tho companion ladder excit edly exclaiming: "We can not roach tho prlsonerl What shall we do?" "That should have boon thought of sooner," said tho Captain. "Follow tnoP ho shouted. "Wo will rescue him if It Is possible." "Let him go, " said one of thn detec tives. "Ilo'll lo hung anyhow." Hut the Captain know- that although tho prisoner was accused, ho was not yot found guilty and his brave heart would not permit him to lease even such a cur as Velaiqilez to a horrible death with out an effort lo rescue him. Accompanied by ono of tho officers tho big-hearted commander hurried down thn steps on lo the cabin deck, from whence hu attempted to descend to the lower deck on which Valasquez was confined, liut bravo as the old Captain was, there was an obstacle in the way which even ho was powerless to overcome. Tho wator was up tin) high and tho rescuers could go no further. A'ready tho Imprisoned man must bo driven back to his bunk near the top of tho room lu which he was ronflmd; tho wretched prisoner could not pass out now alive, and certainly none could reach hlui. Doubtless ho was alive Just alive his life's span now to be measured by moinonti. Now hecould see how relentlessly tho mills of retribution grind- -so surely so nurely so surely aye, and so quickly, so much more quickly sometimes than even those who manipulate the machinery of tho mills can foreseo .lfmoif Velasquez had paid to the uttermost tho penalty of his crime committed long years be foro In the sunny California!! valley imif.' The ship might go down at any mo ment now, and unless his would-ho res cuers at onco rotracod their steps thoy might go down with It, so with regrets tho Captain led tho way to tho ileelt. Sorrowfully lie took his place In the llfo-boil, nnd, ns tho sallori pulled nway, ho looked longingly at the old ship that hail carried him through no many thousands uf miles ot fair and stormy weather. Ileforo they reached the watting steamer thu "Diiurohlii Castle" settled on tier Imuuii ends and sank In old ocean with a mighty rush, taking with hor, to a higher tribunal than that of man, Leon Valasquez. It was a tragic death. In mime sense It was too grand a death for so mean a man to exchange the Ignominy of tho callous and the felou'-i grave In a prWon yard for a burial beneath tho rolling waiei of the Atlantic, colllned lu a noble snip. And yet It was a horrible end -a lonesome, solemn end, (or tho man who had lived In tumult and ox c. lenient all his days to muet tho (Jrlin Mo-ister and tlreat Avenger alone with hit torturing meiuorles of the past lo k ion, nhlle the morctlons flood closed over hlui. that ho died unmulirned and i.iir.'grettnd. Perhaps It was a poor satisfaction to the widow of Mario Delaro to know that her husband s murderer, the destroyer of her happluesi, wai never convicted of his crime- but w lieu Leon Velasquez, one of the meanest villain I whoever trod this earth, went Into the unsreii world to meet his Maker, It surely was a jHiwerful Illustration of that Infallible truth: "Tiiuunh t!i i n.llU .,( Co l -rlnd f-nly, Yet titer lerln.l t troe Unit ui l. , Though Willi a'lviu-e Mum!.

"When 1 was In Varee," said Patrol man Ascli, "I taw a man used instead of a locomotive on one of tho railroads. Ho would bo coupled to a train and would pull ll at a good, fair speed. ()( course, ho didn't make the time that an engine would make, hut If my memory serves mo right, ho made nUiiit fifteen miles nn hour. I had quite a talk with the superintendent of the road, and ho was much pleased with the experiment, lie uald thu company would very likely use men to haul Its trains exclusively It was much cheaMr mid the danger from collision was not great. This would make up for tho lack of speed. Tho ex pense of ahooliur mid feeding the man was considerable, hut still ho was cheap, ns compared with the average loco motive. "A funny thing happened on tho road a few days before 1 left. The man-en glue drank loo much wine, and lu stag goring from ono side ot the track to the other kept derailing the cars, and tho e.ulre traffic of the read was delayed for several hours, or until the engine got hobor enough to go ahead.

" 'Ileforo furnishing the roqulrsl dia gram and accompanying explanation let me Inquire If you have any chewing to bacco al Jut you?' said the truugor. I handed over a slab of 'black strap' plug, ami nfter helping himself liberally the stranger handed the plug back, remark ing: 'That's good alult. Well, as lo who I urn, I'm not ushnmed to tell ymi.

" 'Hut where aro your tools?' I asked, 111 astonishment, 'Toois'" exclaimed Mr. Helling, of lloston. 'I hail no t" Is. I did all my tunneling with my hands, head and feet.
