LITTLE WAIP.
A Story Of Absorbing interest.
CHAPTER TX.
4 DEED OF DARKNEss.

Meanwhile, and in blissful ignorance
OF the passing espionage of Rupert Ar
MIN, Mr.. Max Boyden made his way
over to the extreme east side of the CITY.
Having more than an hour to spare be-
fore his appointment with Nicholas
Garland, he proceeded to saunter leis-
urely down Second avenue, the gloom

that district according agreeably with
us present frame of mind and afordino

with smile so complacent vet mirth-
less that the grimness of his viciously
handsome face was increased hundred
fold; Sin my widest dreams ! never
thought to light upon the girl so sud-
denly. Of course she's deuced white
elephant on my hands, but still she
must be disposed of in some wav. now
that have her. While she is at large
she is an obstacle in my pathway"
He paused beneath lamppost, pro-
duced cigar, and struck light. Then,
leaving the odor of fragrant smoke in
his wake, he walked on.
The very existence of the girl il a
menace at my future welfare, he con-
tinued in thought; "but how to be rid
of her-that's the question! / don't
want to soil my hands with her blood !:
she's a harmless brat enough, and /
care no more for her death than / do
for her life. Fool if she knew what
was good for herself she would marry
me and put herself out of danger. Lord
knows l would never trouble her.
Well, she has either got to consent 10
become Mrs. Max Boyden, or get out
Of the way for good and all. I'll talk
the matter over with Garland and see
what he has to propose. He's Z sharp
witted rascal"
Sunken in intent thought, he scarcely
needed distant bell that tolled the
half-hour and ten. Indeed he was only
made mindful of his proximity to the
place of rendezvous by being recalled
from his reverie by the grating of foot.
steps upon the sidewalk of one of the
cross-streets leading into the avenue.
Boyden glanced up casually and saw
the figure of man whom he did not
recognize; what he did not see, how
ever, was that this same man paused
sharply at sight of him, and then
quickly slipped into the shadow Of 4
tree-trunk, to watch.
From that instant Boyden became !
marked man; though utterly uncon-
cious of the significant fact, he was
hadowed by the stranger, whose figure.
lifted after him with the silent persist
nee of his own shade.
At the appointed corner, Boyden
escried the ungainly figure Of Nicholas |
Earland awaiting him. The man was !

A STEAMSHIP FIGHT.
The Cutting of Rates by Cana
dian Pacific Steamers.
4 BITTER CONTEST PROMISED.
The Canadian Line Demanded Large
Subsidy From % Pacific Mail Come
pany, wbsah Was Refused.

The Canadian Pacific Steamship COM
pany has started traffic war against the
Occidental and Oriental and Pacific Mail
Steamship Companies, by advertising IN
Yokohama and Hongkong newspapers that
on the next trip of the steamer Abyssinia
from those ports she would carry passen-
gers and merchandise for San Francisco
via Vancouver, B. G., and the San Fran
cisco merchants have been SO notified oy
cable. The cause of this action on the part
of the Canadian Pacific Steamship Com
pany Is the result OF the termination OF
contract with two of the companies III
April last. by which the Canadian line
had been allowed all the territory north OF
California. The Canadian line would not
renew the agreement unless it received an
annual subsidy of at least $1,000 Tor
each OF its twelve steamers, pasing
tEse demand on the fact that be-
side the large business secured from
San Francisco, its two rivals desired reve-
nue. of 81 .Oo0, 600 from over s00 900 tons or
-four freighted annually. which the Cana
dian line had contracted not to interfere
with.
Representatives of the Occidental and
Oriental lines considered the demands OF
the Canadian line for some time, and were
favorable TO paying the latter small sub
sidy to continue the contract and not in
wade the California territory. but the sum
being unsatisfactory, a traffic war was de-
clared. The result will be that rates will
be run very low. The rate per ton on
-four. which il now S. is liable to go as low
as 81, possibly less. The Chinese steerage
westward win fall from $51 to about $3.50,
and the eastbound rate 10 about SIS.
The Canadian line expects to capture
portion of the passenger travel and ship
ments of Chinese merchandise TO San
Francisco, and share of the passenger
travel and Chinese freight bound to Oriental
ports, thus cutting into the local business
of its rivals. To do this the Canadian
steamers will go direct 10 Vancouver, b. c.,
from the Orient, deliver passengers and
freight and then sail for San Francisco
with the business secured for that port
The steamers will then secure what they
can, run back to Vancouver and take on
their usual business and sail direct for the
Orient.
The Pacific Mail will meet the Canadian
line by sending Traffic Manager Rice to
Vancouver TO open an agency, and Pacific
Mail steamers will seek to get part of
Oregon -four shipments for the Orient and
the other local business north of California
now handled by the Canadian line. The
Pacific Mail will also bid for China and
Japan business to Vancouver and Oregon,
and viii send its steamers to Vancouver
The Occidental and Oriental companies
may send occasional steamers to VAN
couver to help the Pacific Mail fight the
Canadian line.
1t is believed that the traffic war will last
until the end of the season, or until the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company puts
its new steamers into service.
