The Reasons why Such Consolidation Is Inn
practicable.

Inc journal mas excellent auJnOrlty IOr saying
that the talk of consolidation of the New York
Central, the Lake Shore, the Cleveland, Colum-
bus, Cincinnati 81 Indianapolis, and two or
three other roads, will end in the consolidation
of the several fast-freight lines operating over
these roads, and that at no time has anything
ment considered. So far as the Bee-line is con-
cerned, the Vanderbilts only own about fifteen
thousand shares of the $50 900 shares of stock Of
the C., G., &. 81 l. company, and if they did, the
very best they could do would be the consolida-
ton of the Indianapolis & st. Lous-Indianapo-
lis to Terre Haute-with the Cleveland 81 Co.
lumbus road but as the c., c., G. & l. company
already own the majority of the voting power of
the indianapolis road, and control it absolutely,
nothing would be gained by formal con-
soildatlon, besides an attempt to do that
would certainly meet with an Injunction right
at the outset from the St. Louis, Alton & Terre
Haute company, for the Alton & Terre Haute
property is operated under a lease that holds the
Cleveland q Columbus and the indianapolis
q ST. Louis companies jointly liable for the
rental. which is a minimum of $3.50 600 year.
together with 20 per cent. of gross earnings over
ST. 100 OO0 and it is not at all likely that the Alton
Company would permit good lease to be
apnulled much less consider for single moment
consolidation scheme that would throw them
In the open market to take their chances for a
net yield on their investment which, when it is
remembered that the indianapolis & st. Louis
showed a deficit last year, after paying the AL
tons rent of $5l7,723. would not be very promis-
ing. Again the consideration suggested would
necessitate the abandonment of the Lake Shore
between Cleveland and Toledo for South western
traffic, which arrangement in turn would be
fought by the Wabash, by that line forming an
alliance with the Grand Trunk. and break up one
OF the Lake Shores best connections.

surprise and vexation. He had prom
ised Mrs.. Starrett to be 4 rood boy;
and Jim liked Mrs. Starrett-
There was piazza at the Merrill .;
there was hammock In the yard, too.
A girl was in it. Jim went straight up
to the piazza. 1t was crowded, he
thought. There were perhaps half =
dozen on it; Tut they had stopped talk
ing, and were staring at the sunburnt,
understood country boy of fifteen or
sixteen. The crowd had become .
multitude.

said he; and his hand-it had been in
his pocket, glued there all this time
came out, with the little leather purse In
1t. And with the act he breathed freer,
everything seemed to settle itself
Every body On the piazza spoke at once
but Jim caught something Of It all.
"Why, yes; Fan lost hers. don't
believe but what that's Fannie's.
Where'd you find it? Fannie. Fan!
Here's boy. He's found your purse"
1t was girl who said that, of course,
settling an affair on the first dawn of
evidence.
The girl in the hammock had raised
herself, and Jim walked over the grass
toward her. She was rather q pretty
girl, Jim thought; and she had on dress
that was pretty, too--a blue dress with
lots of white stuff around her
neck. She held a book in one hand,
and in the other big, fat umbrella,
covered with gay pictures. Jim had
never seen anything of the kind before.
why, my purse?' as Jim silently
held it out. ''Wherc did you find itP'

Ibid Idrop it there? In little open
place? was sitting on big pine, l
Tuesday. I'm 50 much obliged to you.
Oh! Don't 60 yet. Wait a minute,
please
She had put two fingers in without
glancing searchingly at the contents; q
bit of instructive ladyhood Jim dimly
appreciated, and which served, dimly,
too. to fasten the resolution of the next
moment. Perhaps it was that it spoke
to the fine instinct of q gentleman-hood
that exists, somewhere in everybody
even rude country boys.
"Please do
She was holding out tho quarter to
him. Jim shook his head.
But it's only for your time, your
trouble urged the girl they called
Fannie. I'm afraid you've come
ever 50 far out of your way this warm
day, and you've been running So"
The shining silver was touching his
hand as she half rose.
II don't want it," he repeated, and
drew back his hand so roughly that
the girl they had called Fannie sank
back, surprised.
''Well, if boys aren't funny" said
she to herself, as she watched him run
down the path. Both shoulders were
we'll squared now, and with it Jim fell
that in refusing that honest quarter he
had somehow squared accounts with
somebody. He took the short cu1
across the fields, instead of going bacl
by the road, and did succeed in getting
to the porch, red and breath1ess, by
two minutes of twelve.
"Good sermon!' said Mr.. Starrett
approvingly, as they were halfway
home.
1T was so. I don't believe Their,
was better preached in town this
morning." assented Mrs. Starrett
warmly.
She never knew she had preached
the best herself, and that it had con
sisted of just four words.

While passing the post-ofice last
night 4 gentleman was stopped by
brawny. outat-elbows, whisky-seeking
eggar, who said: Il COX here; mister,
will you lend me fifty centsp''

Il want cigar, q drink, and bed,"
replied the fellow, with an impudent
leer.
You have certainly struck new
line OF begging, my man. but it won't
work with me. In the first place, your
mouth would disgrace decent cigar;
In the second place, you have had too
much to drink already; and in the
third place. you should be ashamed TO
pilot your dirty carcass into any bed.'
The speaker passed on. but before he
had gone twenty steps the rufian
caught up with him, gave him a shout
der-shove, and said in a truculent voice:
''Hold on. young fellow, do you mean
to say I'm drunk?''
Dropping back a pace, the gentle
man answered quietly: $50 you are
here again. Well. this time your de-
auctions are partly wrong. I'm neither
young nor Teller, but l am sure you
are drunk or crazy, and if you touch
me again will give you lead instead of
silver, at the same time drawing a
revolver.
The rough showed no sign of fear,
but after coolly glancing at the pistol,
said: $50 that the kind of hair-pin
you are, is it7 l guess you have sized
my pile; good evening g. and then
sauntered off in leisurely don 't-care-

Fifteen minutes later, when repassing

sight of his late applicant standing by
a lamp.post. The recognition was
mutual. and the scamp called out to
him: wait minute, mister, I've got

who would ever be the wiser? Thoughts
were coming thick and fast in the jun
bic of boys reasoning and code of
ethics. S'posin' Mrs. Starrett knew,
though, he'd found purse; would she
think it was being good boy not to
try and find the owner.
But then, city folks always had
enough money, and a girl who could
board. without dom nothin', must
have piles of it. Besides he did not
know her. Besides, like as not, she
had forgotten all about it by this time,
given it up 6r clean gone. It was
only two dollars, tifty-seven cents. If
it had been more, Jim would have
handed it over to Mr.. Starrett without
struggle, for him to hunt up the
owner. But this was so small q sum,
and he did want it so dreadfully. His
shoulder. came down from his chin to
allow his hand to dive into his pocket
and finger the shabby little purse. He
felt as though he really disliked that
girl.
Findin' was always havin'; and
though Jim had never before found
anything of value, he had felt that he
had full right to the trifes that luck
had thrown before in his path-a rusty
little cannon, some marbles, that jack
knife that would have been as good as
new if it had not been for the missing
blade and broken handle. BY that
time he had reached the cross road and
hitched himself up for that dead run
toward the church. No: it wasn't. It

that golden future might await Jim
oy the time he himself could afford to
lay off work. He was a good boy, and
deserved slice of luck. Always pro-
yided he did not display any of his
fathers pesky tricks; and Mr.. Starrett's
face darkened as he thought of that
gun, with the double scratch on the
left hand barrel. that had been spirited
away. He had met Jm's father the
next morning with the identical
weapon over his shoulder; but an
hours threats had been insufficient to
induce him to give it up.
Jim made the best of his way through
the fields. He was rather glad his
errand after those new shirts kept him
from church. He did not object to
''meetin" much on the whole, when
he went with Mrs. Starrett alone. But
the minute he was fairly seated in the
pew with Mr.. Starrett he felt like a
prisoner with the turnkey. The watch.
full eye never left him from the opening
hymn to the benediction. by which
time the boy felt that he ought to ask
pardon for breathing, that brushing q
fly from his nose was thing nc
rightec us person does in sermon time,
and that to gently hitch one leg owe,
the other was q fault for which the
prayers of the weekly prayer meetings
should be asked. He never misbchaved
in meeting. He did not know why Mr..
Starrett should watch him so. Mr..
Starrett did not either.
1t was about as the wagon drove up
to the door that Jim was nearly to the
we]l-trod path that led to the bridge,
when woodchuck shot straight across
the way.
There was just fash of calculation.
II he ran part way, if needs be, and
didn't stop at any of his haunts,
wouldn't there be time to follow thai
woodchuck? If the mental answe,
