A New Railroad Policy

A New Railroad Policy,
The proposed new railroad policy
which stated in outline in the HERALD
of the 4th instant, had in view only the
relations between the railroads and the
public and their respective rights in the
premises. There is another feature that
ought to be added to that policy, in or
der to prevent injustice between the in
vestors in railroad properties them
selves-to prevent the large investors
and shrewd operators from freezing out
the smaller. To secure this, let the COM
mon capital stock alone represent the
whole property-no preferred stock, no
mortgage, no preference of any kind be-
tween the investors on either the pro-
perty or its income; not even lien by
Judgment, except to compel through
court of equity pledge of the net in
come to its payment, and as q last re-
sort an assessment on the stock. But
this last should be carefully guarded by
a right of redemption of the stock of a
most liberal character, such as exists in
Great Britain, and i'll other ways if need
be. Two results would follow:
| First-The enormous profits OF the
large investors and the total loss OF their
holdings by the small ones would cease.
| Second-The stock would in time be
largely distributed throughout the COM
munity, whose interests would affect the
management and eventually do away
with the feeling of antagonism between
the people and the railroads, by remov-
ing the cause of it. Railroads are pub
lie improvements as we'll as private in
vestments. Both to encourage their
building and to secure fair play between
investors, all investment in them should
be made safe. If the common capital
stock represents the unencumbered
ownership of the property in its entirety,
as proposed, and if it is made impossi-
BILE by law that there should be any dis
tinction, preference or advantage to any
stockholder over any other stockholder,
wise and economical management of
the property will inure to the advantage
of all interested in it alike. Under such
management the income OF railroads is
SO nearly uniform from year to year as
to warrant dividend on the stock as
sure and as regular as the interest ON
government bonds, and at much higher
rate, if the railroads were stocked for no

means as we'll as for the rich, for

for which absolute safety and a

amount of ready money of this charac-
ter in the country is already great and
is increasing rapidly, as the savings
banks show, and these contain only
small part of the boards OF this charac-
ter. The ownership OF the railroads
would thus to some extent get into the
hands of people living along the lines.
who would be both owners and patrons,
and would secure equitable treatment OF

Toward the end OF the sixteenth century,
during the reign of Henry III, the dueIlo

foolish custom of seconds engaging in the
quarrels Of their principals had been intro

led occasionally TO a small battle. The en-

at some length b. the chrOnieers Riberac
and Schombtrg were seconds to d Entragues,

men instead of allowing them to kill one an

here to string beads, but to fight"
and with Hhom?" asks Ribergc

Instantly they flew at each other and ran
each other through. Schomberg and I,iya-

with the result that the former fell dead
whlie the latter was wounded in the face.
Caylus meanwhile had been mortaIly
wounded, and his opponent had received a

men, while the other two were badly crip-
PEG. Whatever charge might be leveled
against the French duel of those DAYS, it
could hot be said that the participants were
not IN earnest. In the reign of Henry Nv
dueiing reached its highest point. It has
been estimated that during his reign no
fewer than 1000 mobiles fell victims to the
fashion. Chevalier narrates that in I.imou

were actually killed. The smallest differ
ence OF opinion led to an appeal to arms.

would instantly have paired off and the third

CHAPTER IL.

1t was spring-tme in the sixth month OF
Feiiee's stay at StonerOyd, and still no let
ter had arrived from her husband, of whose
whereabouts she was absolutely ignorant
since he departed with his strangely in
herited fortune.
AS she rightly guessed, this silence was
due to deliberate malice on the part of
Robert, who knew quite we'll that with the
threatened trouble of mis- return forever
lowering over her head there could be
neither happiness nor rest for his neglected
wife. One evening she thought herself
alone and all need for self-restraiut gone.
Her soft, dark hair touched with ruddy
chestnut tntS where tine light struck upon
it, was loosened from the customary elabor-
ate neatnesS of its coils on the top of here
well-set head ; her fair face was flushed and
her gray eyes were pathetic with unShed
tears.
Going to the fire, she stretched out her
hands over it, partly to warm them, and
partly in little hopeless gesture, accom-
panied by another and still deeper sigh.
Maurice Fentnn, in chance hiding place
behind curtain, could not take his eyes
from her As an artist, his esthetic require
mentS were fully satisfied by the beautiful
lines of her figure. AS man he was deeply
touched by the fOrlorn sadness of her face.
But guessing that revelation OF his pres
ence would, in all probability startle and
annoy her, he remained perfectly still, while
his big dog stole forward, and proceeded to
hover around Felice, wagging his tail wit h
friendly spirit.
Felce, who was fond of animals, knelt
on the hearth rug to stroke him. As she
did so her tears fell thick and fast upon her
hands clasped round the dogs neck. A lit
tie later and she had broken down Alto
gether. and was resting her head on chair
by the fireside, her whole frame shaken by
passionate sobbing.
'1f l could die! If / could diev' she
moaned.
Maurice heSitated and then flung himself
into a seat by her side. Her heart began to
beat in rapid, uncomfortable way, but her
deep gray eyes were turned grayeiy away
from him.

a5ln revulslon of feeling. 1t was wicked
1t was impossible! And it was all her fault!
White as the lace at her throat, she raised
her face to his, looking up into his brown
eyes, radiant in pleading tenderness, with
serious unmoved expression in her own.

is it not? Now, remember, | promised to
write letter to Mrs. Fenton, and L must go
and do it."
Her voice sounded hard and mechanical,
and she did not look at him as she passed
to the door.
But when Maurice, preylto self-reprcach
lest he should have angered her by his dis
play of feeling, crossed the room quickly
and held open the door for her in mute and
humble apology, he perceived that her. eyes

Felice, impatient to be alone, laid her nm

ment pressed his lips upon her hand.

Could it be Maurice who stood looking at
her without speaking one word of welcome
or even of surprise? She timidly touched
him on the shoulder.
