asleep. Torpenhow withdrew his hand and,
STOPPING over Dick, kissed him lightly on
the forehead, as men do sometimes kiss
wounded comrade in the hour of death, to
ease his departure.
In the gray dawn Torpenhow heard Dick
talking to himself. He was adrift on the
shoreless tides of delirium, speaking very
quickly: "It's pity-a great pity. But
it's helped, and it must be eaten, Master

the Pittsburg traction cars swing around the

A NETWORK OF CURVES.
Liberty and Seventh streets present
peculiar twists and angles. The Citizens
cable cars whirl around the curve into
Seventh street; that curve is crossed by the
Pleasant Valley lines curve; the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad locomotives p1ff up at right
angles, and finally the electric cars disap-
pear around another sharp curve on to Sixth
avenue, where in a few feet more they have
to cross the Transverse Railway on Wood
street; the Central Traction line Just at that
critical juncture crosses both lines on re-
markable curve to get into the middle of
Wood street for its onward course toward
Fourth avenue.

fire. Spout away" he said aloud. 'l've
done my work, and now you can do what
you please" He lay still, staring at the
ceiling, the long-pent-up delirium of drink
in his veins, his brain on fire with racing
thoughts that would not stay to be con-
sldered, and his hands crisped and dry. He
had just discovered that he was painting the
face of the Melancolia on revolving dome
ribbed with millions of lights, and that all
his wondrous thoughts stood embodied hun
dreds of feet below his tiny swinging plank,
shouting together in his honor, when some
thing cracked inside his temples like an
broke inwards, and he was alone in the
thick night.
''I'll go to sleep. The rooms very dark.
Let's light lamp and see how the Melan-
cola looks. There ought to have been a
moon"
1t was then Torpenhow heard his name
called by voice that he did not KNOWN
the rattling accents of deadly fear.
"He's looked at the picture, was his first
thought, as he hurried into the bedroom
and found Dick sitting up and beating the
air with his hands.

Dick clutched at his shoulder. "Matterl
I've been lying here for hours in the dark,
and you never heard me. Torp, old man,
don't 60 away. I'm all in the dark. In the
dark, I tell you"
Torpenhow held the candle within foot
of Dicks eyes, but there was no light in
those eyes. He lit the gas, and Dick heard
the flame catch. The grip of his fingers on
Torpenhow's shoulder made Torpenhow
vince.
"Don't leave me. You wouldn't leave
me alone now, would you? 1 can't see.
D'you understand? It's black quite
black-and feel as if was falling through
it all"
"Steady, does it?" Torpenhow put his
arm round Dick and instinctively began to
rock him gently to and fro.
'That's good. Now don't talk. If I
keep very quiet for while this darkness
will lift. 1t seems just on the point of
breaking. H'shp' Dick knit his brows

But in 1887, after it assumed it new name,
the traffic at once jumped to 2, 2,045, 756; in
1888 to $500, 900, and for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1890, to 8,229.S09. The ex-
penses in the last year were $30S, ,912, and re-
ceipts S646. 1856.
The Citizens Railway was always pay
ing institution. In 1876 it carried 2.905,SS
passengers and its cash exhibit in 1879 was q
fair specimen, of all other years. That
showed expenses $SS, S15 and receipts $147, :
S34 That paid, didn't it? Well, every
years report from 1876 showed a steady in
crease in the number of passengers carried.
In 1886 it reached 8, 490,372. Yet with all
this difference, it was the poorer Oakland
line that was first made cable road and the
Citizens was second in the race. But when
the Citizens Company did start it doomed
things. In 1888 the number of passengers
carried was 1852, 131, but last year this was
swollen to the vast total of 10, S32, 1872 pas
sengers in one year. Fifteen years ago they
carried less than 10000 0O0 Last year the
expenses were S30S, ,912 and the receipts
S646, 1856.
The Central Railway (Wylie avenue)
once had stunted financial career, which,
however, is only memory now. In 1876,
39S,777 passengers rode in its cars. The
difference between its annual expenses and
receipts was hard to distinguish. As late
as 1881 the number of passengers carried
had only increased to 577, ,460. With its
new traction line the company is now carry
ing about 2.5O0,0 900 passengers. The last
report is not yet in, and this figure is an es-

over the annual reports of Pirtsburg street

by comparison some marvellous facts. One
was the enormous increase in the habit Of
riding in a street car. The other was that
the railway companies first to make q

and stared desperately in front Of him. The
night air was chilling Torpenhow's toes.
Scan you stay like that minute?" he
said. "I'll get my dressing gown and some
slippers"
Dick clutched the bed-head with both
hands and waited for the darkness to clear
away. "Wbat time you've been" be
cried, when Torpenhow returned. TITS as

as if to leap from the bed, but Torpenhow's
arms were round him, and Torpenhow's
chin was his shoulder, and his breath
was squeezed out of him. He could only
gasp, "Blindp' and wriggle feebly.
''Steady, Dlckie. steady!" said the deep
voice in his ear, and the grip frightened.
"Bite on the bullet, old man, and don't let
them think you're afraid" The grip could
draw no closer. Both men were breathing
heavily. Dick threw his head from side to
side and groaned.

THE PAYING PROPERTY Jagged.
The Pittsburg and Birmingham Railway
has always been considered good paying
property. In 1876 it carried ], ,42S, 531 pas
seugers, and in 1886 this had increased to
2,422, ,210. with expenses only S7S,591, and
receipts $12O, ,039. In 1S89-9e the passengers
carried numbered 1900, S57. Yet the little
Central Railway, with its traffic of less than
1,000. 900 passengers, built traction road.
and the prosperous Birmingham road is still
driving horse cars, though building an
electric line
The Pleasant Valley electric lines used
to run one-horse bobtail cars in 1876. when
they only carried GAG, 7G1 passengers, earn
ing about $4,000 clear of expenses. In
1886 ten years had only increased this to
1,65S, ,009 passengers, yet the little Pleasant
Valley had audacity to introduce electricity.
Last year its cars carried 4, $50, 900 passen-
gers, the receipts were S231 ,379 and the ex-
penses were only $153,e44.
A very curious career is that of the late
lamented Transverse Railway, from Law
renceville to the city, 1t began business in
1882, and it was predicted there wes not
enough business for two parallel lines in
that field. In 1882 the Transverse carried
1880, 500. In the same year its rival, the
Citizens Line, carried 4.126, 1862, while the
previous year. before the Transverse began
running, it carried 4,063, $40. In 1888 the

heat of enterprise. And, as result, sta
tistics show that more people ride to-day in
Pittsburg than fo--s.,ly, and ride more
cheaply, too.
Only few years ago you could count the
street car routes upon your fingers. Fifth
avenue below Grant street had not yet peen
disturbed; Liberty street was exclusively
traversed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
freight trains, and Wood street had never
echoed with the silver tinkle of the horse
car bells. The routes then lay along Smith
field street, part of Grant street, Fourth
and Third avenues, Wylie avenue, Filth
avenue extension, Penn avenue and Sixth
street. But now the downtown streets
which are not we'd by rails are the ex-
ceptions. What a network of tracks there
