the ride, and the general comment was
upon the wonderful Improvement Of cleo
triclty over horse power as a motor. As
the car passed through the commons out
beyond the city, the opinion was generally
expressed that the electric line would
greatly aid IN building up the city in that
section.
There WIS only one break during the ride,
and that came near being a broken head.

no bones broken, but the newspaper man
remained inside the car during the rest of

The party spent some time at the depots,
inspecting the machinery and listening to
the explanations of the electricians, after
which they were given quick trip back

started out in the ward for wood to build q
fire, but on the way the major stopped her,
and, ia a loud and threatening voice, ordered
her back in the house, with the remark
trat see should burn no more of his wood.
Hugh heard these orders, and walked

outrageous, and that be would not stand it
any longer The major thereupon flew
into g. violent rage, and, advancing on
