He stood and looked at her as if try

haggard in the moonlight-unutterably
sad and hopeless. Her dark blue eyes
searched his for a moment, then her
white face was buried in her hands.

a voice, but it was not Roy's.
"Oh, wicked Dolly" went on the
merry, hooking voice.
And then Diana raised her startled
face from her hands and looked Won
deringly about. There, close beside
her, stood her naughty sister.
Its the very strangest thing she
went on, unblushingly..; "of all coinci-

road management have proved to be falacous
Rail 9ay commissions have been appointed i'll
more than twenty States, bu: they are powerless
over the roads tho moment the geographical
boundaries of their respective Common nwealths
are passed. There is no unity ofaction between
them. One policy prevails in one State and
another in another. Some local relief has been
obtained since their organization, but the broad
question Of regulation as between State and
State is still to be settled. The necessity of
bringing the interstate lines under some one
controlling power is conceded on every hand,
and there seems to be no place to lolgeit except
in the hands of the General Government. The
experience of every day shows that the railroad
managers cannot he trusted. Neither the inter
ests oftheir own stockholders nor of the farmer,
the merchant or the consumer are safe in their
hands. Directors Of roads, Individually or col
lectivey build rival routes to their own lines
| and then vote for a consolidation at an enormous
advance on the actual cost of the work. This is
simple robbery Of their own stockholders. 'Wars'
are made from time to time for purely specula-
