The largest stock of soft coal to be found in this country, aside {yom storage heaps at one or two of the large western mines, is owned by the New York Edison Company, at Shady- side, on the Hudson. Persons walk ing on Riverside Drive stop and gaze across the river, wondering what the huge black pile is. The Edison company has about 160,- 000 tons of coal stored In this yard, which covers as much ground as eight city blocks. If there was a big coal strike the supply would last the com pany nearly a year. A high fence sur rounds the big coal pile, which is guarded by armed watchmen day and night. The yard is about 300 yards back from the pier, where the coal is landed in barges. An endless chain of bags convey the coal from the barges to the yard, so arranged that their contents are distributed auto matically and evenly over the entire area of the yard, and not dumped In one place to be distributed by shovel- ers.

EVER TREAT YOU SO?

I was away from home fill ing an appointment at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach. “I had also experienced the same trouble, but not so violently, and had relieved It each time by a resort to medicine. “But my wife's second attack satis fied me Wiat the use of coffee was at the bottom of orr troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Pos- tum Food CofTee.

All correspondence is held strictly confidential. 2' handsome house standing square and rigid against the starless sky, ^ score windows blaz- ou ing hospitably with light. It was called Suminernook, and bad come into Mrs. Raynor’s possession at the death of her husband. She only held it as a trust, however. Some where in the world wandered the true lord and master of Summernook, a dis tant relative of the deceased Mark Raynor. He had not been heard from for several years, however. “He will come back some time, ’I’m sure he will,” Mrs. Raynor often said. “Then the ‘king shall have his ain again.’ He shall find the hearth swept and garnished—everything looking its best.” “But what will you do when Paul Raynor claims his inheritance?” her friends w-ould ask. To which she always laughingly re plied: “Marry him, of course. I am much too fond of Summernook ever to leave It.” This threatening spring night, when all the windows blazed in such cheer ful contrast to the gloom without, a man strode up the shadow-haunted avenue, and, climbing the steps, knocked loudly on the oaken door. In an instant a pack of yelling blood hounds surrounded him. Issuing fr< hidden dens, they tore up the steps like infuriated fiends. The man beheld their eyffoalls glowing like coals of fire through the darkness. “God help me!” he cried, involun tarily, and redoubled his blows upon the closed door. “Is there nobody here to let me in?” he called out. He shook the latch vehemently. The next instant a key turned in the lock, and he felt himself drawn forcibly across the threshold into a spacious, well-lighted hall. “Were you all asleep?” he gasped. “Another moment, and those brutes would have torn me limb from limb.” “I believe they would,” unconcerned ly returned the servant who bad let him in—a stalwart, handsome man of some thirty years, with blonde hair, blue eyes and a face much too high bred for his station. Just then came a rustle of silk on the stairs, and Mrs. Raynor looked over the railing. “Who is it, John? What’s the mat ter?” “I’ve let in a stranger, ma’am.” “A stranger? Good heavens! The dogs might have killed him. I never heard them growl and snarl so fiercely before.” -«lm nnmBwiftlv rlnwn jho fitgirs. llOV beautiful face quite pale. “Enter here, sir,” she said, throwing open the li brnry door. “You must have been dreadfully frightened.” “Yes, madam, I was.” The man paused under the chande lier, and glanced quickly around the room. It was a very large apartment, book-cases filling the corners, and fam ily portraits hanging on the walls. He smiled to see how blonde hair pre dominated among the men; his own hair was blonde. “Now, sir, what brings you here?” Mrs. Raynor inquired, keeping her eyes steadily fixed upon his face. “I came to claim my own, madam.” “Your own, man. Why, who are J'OU ?” “Paul Raynor,” the stranger an swered, with a quiet smile. Mrs. Raynor uttered a startled cry. “I knew it—I knew it,” she said. “Somehow I felt that you were the missing heir the moment I saw yon. Welcome home!” She loaned toward him and stretched out both hands in her eagerness, gen uinely glad that he had returned at last. Some one came between them before, the stranger had even touched her fin ger-tips. It was John, her own ser vant. His face was white and stern. “Don’t you believe a word the villain says,” John exclaimed. “He is an im poster. I can prove him such!” “How? What do you mean? How dare you say such things?” Mrs. Ray nor gasped, almost going into hysterics in her amazement. John drew himself up in a way that made him look less than ever like a servant. “The wretch wishes to take advan tage of your credulity, my lady. He has heard of the missing heir, and your desire to find him. But he is not Paul Raynor—I know he is not.” “Hush, John,” said his mistress, haughtily. “You forget yourself.” Then turning to the stranger she add ed. in her sweetest tones: “I am open to conviction, sir. Paul would not come without some proof of his identity. What have you to offer?” The man crossed the room and stood under one of the portals that hung upon the wall. “Look at that face, then on mine,” he said. Mrs. Raynor did so, the color com ing and going in her cheeks the while. “They are wonderfully like,” she said at length, with a quick-drawn breath. “I am satisfied. John, con duct this gentleman to the guest-cham ber. He is your master.” ‘ Nay, never master of mine.” mut tered John, as, after a moment’s hesi tation, he led the way up the grand staircase to one of the rooms above. “Sleep well. This is the only ni^rlit j’Ou will ever sleep at Summernook,” he saiti, on leaving the stranger alone in the sumptuous chamber over the drawing-room. “To-morrow I shall fully expose you.” “If you can!” sneered Paul, darting a keen glance like lightning from un derneath his long-lashed liels. The next day, after Paul and Mrs. Raynor had breakfasted alone in the great dining-hall, and wandered about the terraces for an hour or more, John, who was on nettles all the while, walked boldly to the door whither his mistress had retired, and knocked for admittance. “Send for this stranger, this upstart adventurer,” he said, his air that of a prince. “I wish to unmask him here in your presence.” The man's audacity marly struck Mrs. Raynor dumb. She .rose with flushed cheeks and flashing eyes. “I will send, since you request it, she said, “But I warn you beforehand that the result ihaj’ be most damaging to you. If it is, you have only your self to blame.” She pulled the bell-rope, and three minutes later the man whose claims were to be disputed was ushered into the apartment. A smile of triumph wreathed his lips and a strange light burned in his eyes as they fell for a moment upon the tall, stalwart figure of the would-be accuser. “Am I wanted?” he coolly inquired. Mrs. Raynor nodded, and pointed contemptuously at her servant. “This fellow claims to have some thing to communicate that deeply con cerns you.” “Let him speak, then,” lifting his handsome shoulders with an express ive shrug. “What I have to say can be told in a very few words,” said John. “Yonder adventurer cannot be Paul Raj’nor for the very good reason that I am he!” “You!” gasped Mrs. Raynor, trem bling with excitement. “What mad ness is this? You are beside yourself!” “Nay,” said John, “I am the true heir of Summernook. It was a whim of mine to come here and hire out as a servant—I wished to study you before declaring myself, and if you were found worthy, leave you in undis turbed possession of the estate.” “This seems incredible!” “Decidedly so,” sneered Paul. “The fellow's insolence and assurance are extraordinary. But I have no desire to enter upon a long discussion. Here are two certificates—one the marriage of iny parents, the other of ray birth and baptism. Pray examine them— you will find that they are duly attest ed.” Mrs. Raynor took the papers he of fered and hurriedly glanced at them. They were all they claimed to be. As John’s gaze fell upon them a look of surprise and terror swept over his face. He staggered backward as though some one had dealt him a dead ly blow. “Good God!” he gasped. “I have been robbed.” “Robbed?” echoed his mistress. “These pap?rs are mine—the proofs of my identity—I had them last night— they were stolen from my room while I slept. Oh, madam, for God’s sake, don’t suffer yourself to be misled by the villain’s cunning!” Mrs. Raynor turned haughtily away. “This artifice is too shallow. You cannot expect me to credit a story so improbable. I am tired of the scene. -You will ho good ohowgh-4o “I swear ” “Not another word,” she angrily in terrupted. “Go!” II« could do no less than obey. As he went out with slow, reluctant steps he had the misery of seeing his rival clasp Mrs. Raynor's hand and ralse-it to his lips. Two days went by. John had been dismissed from the service of his mis tress, but he still lingered about the premises. He was nearly crazed with the dread that the woman he loved might fall a victim to the adventurer who sought her favor, in spite of his efforts to save her. Finding her alone on the terrace in the late twilight, ho impulsively flung himself at her feet. “Listen to me, darling,” ho cried. “You must—you shall! I would gladly give my life for you. For weeks, now, I have lived only in the light of your smile. Wait—be patient. I can't see you sacrifice yourself. Only give me time to bring forward those who can attest the truth of the strange story I have told.” Ilis passion and despair moved the woman more than she was willing to acknowledge. “Hush!” she cried, trying in vain to calm herself. “Stand out of my way. How dare you ever speak to me after what has passed?” She hurried into the house, pretend ing to bo very angry at his presump tion. But her heart beat fast, and it was with difficulty that she kept back the scalding tears that rose to her eyes. Au hour inter, in the brilliantly-light ed drawing-room, other bearded lips were pouring their tale into her ear. “I have learned to love j’ou passion ately already,” the so-called Paul Ray nor said. “Summernook would be a dreary place, indeed, without jour pres ence to grace it. You have often de clared your intention of marrying the missing heir when he came to light. Here he is, at your feet, darling, ready to take you at your word.” But Mrs. Raynor drew back, pale and trembling. “It was a foolish speech.” she pant ed. “an idle jest. I meant nothing by it.” “Then you do not love me?” “No, no! Not jet—how could I? It is so sudden.” “Take twenty-four hours to think it over,” lie said, after a dismayed pause. “Remember how dearly you love Sum mernook, and how hard it would be to leave jour dear old home. Take pity on my despair and your own helpless ness.” Mrs. Raynor did not close her eyes at all that night. It would be hard to o away forever. She did not know how she could hear it. But there was John! His handsome, blonde face had grown very dear to her, and it was utterly impossible to banish him from her thoughts for two cousecutive min- mites. “Silly goose that I am,” she mut tered, “I do believe I have fallen in love with the fellow, and would will ingly give up everything in the world for his dear sake. Well, he shall never know of mj' folly.” And yet she could not help thinking how delightful it would De if John’s story had only been true, and he was the rightful heir of Summernook. Mr? Raynor looked surprised and a little startled as her glance fell upon the person in question. She was scarcely past girlhood, and had the loveliest face the widow had ever seen. The mouth was sweet, the eyes dark and melting, the face a perfect oval. Bufjfor her pallor, and a certain heart broken, despairing look, she would have been bewitching. “Forgive me for troubling you, mad am,” the stranger said, in a trembling voice, before Mrs. Raynor could collect herself to speak. “I will go away di rectly. I want my husband.” \ “Your husband? Good gracious, child, why do you come here to seek ^ him?” “Because I have every reason to be lieve that he is now tarrying under this roof.” Mrs. Raynor uttered a startled cry. “Who is he?” she hoarselj- uttered. “What is his name?” “Harry Hanks, and mine is Amy. I will tell you the whole truth, madam.” said the poor creature, with a sudden burst of tears. “It Is shameful, but you ought to know. My husband heard that the heir of Summernook was miss ing, and laid a plot to deceive you, and get possession of the inheritance. He has a string resemblance to the Ray nors, and that is what put the idea into his head. I found it nil out by means of a memorandum he left In his desk, and followed him to see that no wrong was done.” Mrs. Raj’nor started to her feet, trem bling all over. “God bless you, child! You are just in time.” glancing from the window at this moment, she saw her two suitors ap proaching the house from opposite di rections. Drawing the young wife forcibly forward, she pointed them out, “Which is your husband?” “There he is,” Amy answered, with an eager little cry. “Thank Heaven!” said Mrs. Raynor, drawing a deep breath of relief. She waited until the gentlemen came nearer, then pushed up the sash, and stepped out, compelling Amy to follow. “Here Is your wife, Mr. Hanks,” she said, presenting the trembling creature to the pretended Paul Raynor. “Take her home, and see that you are kind to her.” The villain’s face was a sight to be hold; rage, shame and terror all con vulsed it at once. Before he could recover from his con fusion. Mrs. Raynor had turned to John, token both his hands, and was looking earnestly into his honest eyes. ‘Can j-ou ever forgive my harshness and injustice?” she asked. Something in her face made him very hold all at once. His arm glided round her waist, and drawing her close to his heart, he whispered, huskily: I believe j*ou do love me, after all. Is it not so?” Yes,” she answered, smiling roguish ly into his ej*cs. “I always intended to give my heart to the true heir of Sum mernook, and now I have found him.”— Good Literature.

On the New England coast there is a small shark not over three feet in length, known as the dogfish, that inspires dread in the fish ermen. During the summer season these fish come in by the thousands, the school filling the bays and harbors, driving away the edible fish and ruin- ing theTisTihlg'fpr Me tliiic being; - So suddenly does this occur that on day the writer found all the fisherme codfishing on the banks about eight miles off shore, and the next day not a bite was had. The lines did not reacn the bottom before they were seized by the dogfish that fairly filled the water. So ravenous were they that they bit] at the sails that dragged overboard, ate jellyfish or anything that came in their Avay. On the Maine coast several! casualties have occurred that resulted in the loss of human life. An illustration of the danger that sometimes lies in small fish is the case of a fish which Is common in the rivers of South America—the serrasalmo. It is probably the most fearless of all fisb, very small of peculiar shape, with poAverful jaAvs, so strong and sharp that they can bite a piece out of an animal as neatly as though it had been done with a pair of scissors. In some places it is impossible to fisb, as the moment a fish is hooked thousands of these vicious creatures flock to the spot and tear it to pieces before it can be brought to the surface. The fish apparently does not knoAV what fear is, and has in more than one instance jeopardized human life. A traveler in crossing a river on horseback Avas attacked by these fish, the blood from his horse’s legs attract ing them in such multitudes that the animal AA’as deA’oured as it swam. The rider leaped from its back and swain to shallow water surrounded by the throng. Though protected bj* his cloth ing, he was bleeding from a hundred wounds, and had not the shallow water been near he would have shared the fate of the horse.—Philadelphia Ledger. linttlesnnke in His lied.

To call a tiger the proceeding was as follows: The Miklr, hairing first as certained that a tiger was In the neighborhood, would climb into a well branched leafy tree situated near where he supposed the tiger to be, and after hiding himself among the branches as best he could, would com mence to imitate the chattering of a monkey, and break and drop twigs in the way that monkeys do. Then he would let fall to the ground a bundle of ra£s, weighted so that the thud when it struck the ground would sound as if a baby monkey had tum bled down from the tree, and at the same time would imitate the supposed baby monkey cries. This would bo the supreme moment, for if a tiger were near It would often spring out.

The Future of Battleships. Owing to the large measure of suc cess attained by the Japanese torpe do flotilla at the opening of opera tions, there was an hysterical outcry ttiatt battleships were doomed and that no more need be built. How little foundation there was for this is indicated by the very small influ ence the torpedo vessels had upon subsequent operations. If the Japa nese fleet at Port Arthur had consist ed only of cruisers and torpedo ves sels, the Russ*ans’ fleet of battle ships, cruisers and torpedo vessels would undoubtedly have escaped, and perhaps destroyed the Japanese fleets. The Russian torpedo flotilla accomplished very lltle So unless there is a universal agreement to the contrary, the battleships must be built, even though one happens, now and then, to succumb to the attacks of the torpedo or submarine boats.
