Thousands of cars are now being or
dered by the transportation lines. One
order has just been placed for 10, 900 cars
for the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg, The Union Pacific has ordered
5000, the Missouri Pacific 5000, the
Baltimore and Ohio 1900, the Hook
ing Valley and the Ingalls, syndicate
1900 each, and the New York Central
5000. This seems to show the general
advance in railroad interests over two or
three years ago, when an order for l 1000
cars was considered tremendously large
one. The quality of steel and iron used
in car building has been improved, in
creasing the capacity of freight cars by
300 per cent. While many of the old ten
ton cars are still in use, the majority of
the specifications call for thirty ton cars

From this nightmare he awoke
with a shi yer of horror. He sat up and
listened. There was certainly a strange
noise in the heavy air. Sometimes it
was like subdued voices; then it was
signing; and again it was gurgiing
GrOan. For some minutes Drane could
not summon up tho resolution to in
vestigate, but at length he arose, and
qualiing with horror he endcavored
to trace the disquieting sound to it's
source.
1t led him to door which apparently
separated him from the next apartment.
What CHASTITY mystery lay behind it?
He hardly dared to think. He listened,
and the gurgling sighs made themselves
plainly audible. Doubtless some un-
fortunate was leaving the Retreat by
the method jenkins had described, and
had failed to arrange his moose in an en-
tirely satisfactory manner. For what
seemed long time, Drano quaked and
hesitated, not daring to penetrate
further into the secret. Then with
sudden resolution he seized the knob
and threw his force upon it.

Then she drew chair near to his and

She. ''Thc same noble features, the

your face brings it all back to nc. Ex-
cuse tho outburst OF my feelings
She laid her head on his shoulder,
and cried into his collar. Dranc could
feel his hair begin to turn gray but he
shut his teeth together with resolution.
The other fellow had stood it seven
weeks before he went out of his head,
and Drane believed that he could last
till jenkins eamc.
In fact he did; but it was a close
shave. Jenkins was tall and greedy
man, with hollow checks and cheer
less smile. At his appearance the
woman with a romance in her life
vanished in charge of her companion,
who proved to be the matron of the
house. jenkins did not care to question
the new conner. He was satisfied that
all charges would be promptly paid, and
he at once escorted Drane to an apart
ment on the third floor. Hero tho un-
fortunate young man secured some toast
and tea, which, however, did not who'll
ly sustain him against the horrors of
the night.
Jenkins made casual inspection of
Drane's pockets before leaving tho
room.
"You will excuse this formaiity," said
he, ''but the man who occupied this
room before you brought in piece of
rope with which he hanged himself over
the hoadboard Of the bed before morn
ing. We have had many cases of the
kind. Good night
This was q cheerful subject of reflec-
ton to take to bed with one, and it was
still more consoling to hear the key
turned on the outside of the door.
Il believe that l shall actually go
crazy before morning." said Drane as
he stretched himself upon the bed. 1t
was insutfcrably hot, The windows were
carefully barred and screened in way
which not only prevented tho suicidal
cgross of Jenkins boarders but denied
ingress to an adequate supply of the
free air of Heaven. After making this
discovery Drane returned TO his bed,
where he was soon dreaming that the
dangling heels of his unhappy pre-
decessor were still knocking against the
headbQard. z----->-- ---

CHAPTER yI.-Continued.

This surprised and angered the Judge
and he ordered tho officer to search
Lawrence. They took from him all his
papers, his money and his watch. They
considerably left him his handkerchief.
Upset by the indignity of this proceed
ing, he exclaimed:
Il will say and maintain that am
Lawrence Dranc! I live in Kansas City
and am in Now York simply on my way
to Boston, where I propose to negotiate
capital for railroad"
Every well,'' said the judge, dryly,
and turning to the impostor; ''What
have you to say to this?"
''Why!" was the reply, ''that I am
Lawrence Drane and that this follow is
telling my story. Those papers and
letters which you have will probably
make the matter clear. Doubtless he
glanced at them at tho bath and so got
his points,"
The judge looked at the papers, but
they failed to satisfy him. lie asked
for witnesses, and the attendants at tho
bath were sworn.
(Which of these men?' asked the
judge, came to the bath in good clothes,
and which one in rags?"
81 remember" said tho witness. hes
itating, ''that l took follow in those
rags to room, and l think it was that
one," pointing to Lawrence. "Whcn he
was in the sweating roorn.' he con-
tinued, ''he looked just about like any
body else"
There is an Individuality in legs, but
few men recognize it, not even at-
tendants at baths who havo unrestricted
opportunities for observation. The tcs-
timony of these witnesses made it prot
ty clear that Lawrence had left the bath
with better clothes than he wore when
he entered, but thcy could do nothing
to clear up the question of identity.
Thcn Lawrence requested the privi-
lego of examining the plaintiff. This
granted, he confused tho fellow in short
order by putting a series of questions
designed to bring ont his knowledge Of
Kansas City and his familiarity with
the business mission in which he pre-
tended to be engaged. The scale an
pearcd to be turning in Mr.. Drano's
favor. Justice was still in doubt, how
over, and tho court declared that it
would be necessary to get somo direct
evidence as to tho identity of each
claimant to the name of Drane.
81 think, your honor" said the i'm
poster, THAT tho people at my hotel
can satisfy you. l should like to 60
there to get my grip and decent suit of
clothes. If l was better dressed my
story would sound moro likely"
Lawrence smiled grimly at this, for
he knew too we'll how true it was.
Things had changed. The clothes were
on another mans back and he in turn
was victimized by them.
I'll send an officer with you to the
hotel,'' said the judge.
just then the angel appeared. 1t was
the young widow whom Lawrence had
met in the park uptown. She was in
court with Mrs. Bowers, assisting that
charitable lady in her work and ct the
same time keeping an eye open for her
thicving maid, who might be expected
to turn up at any time among the pris-

The Sell Made Man.

The Old fashioned self-made man was
not a perfect man. neither Is the self
made man OF today. But this style OF
man has not the braInless egOusn OF
the modern college-made specimens, or
tre vague faced dude, walking the
streets and standing on the steps of
tirst-class hotels, with ready remarks
on every passer by. The old and ordl-
nary John Hopkins or Garfield students
are the rare specimens of today.

teristic Of the true gentleman It IA his
