'Marldnne.
Marianne Soutter and her sister were to-
gether after the early meal which either
luncheon dinner with them according as it
suited John. If John were to be out late they
dined early; and a single savory dish. hot and
appetizing. would make its appearance from the
kitchen at whatever hour the master Of the
house appeared: but if there were nothing to
detain the factor. he could be back from his or
binary round about o'clock. The sisters
however had always meal of some sort at
midday. and were usually at leisure after il to
stroll out on the grass plot in front a fine
afternoon and interchange ideas.
Marianne. do think we ought to go and call
at the Castle"
II declare. Jean. had been thinking so, too
The Ainses have been gone week. and we
have not been near the place"
Louisa thought her mamma not just up
to visitors for day two" said Jean. you
remember she met John. and told him Lady
Carnouste was thought overdone and in need
of rest. and to be kept quiet: and John
when he told us. made us promise to keep away
from them all for a bit: else I'm ! would
have been up for / was so anxious to hear how
they all get on"
Even Penelope has not been here as often
~ she used to come"
We'll just go up. Marianne. The day has
turned out finer than it looked like in the morn
ing-though / misdoubt there's more rain to
come by those steady clouds yonder-so
we may as well take the chance while the sky

one day or another. AS likely not John
thought We would be going up to-day, and will
say at dinner time. Hoots. We might have gone.
How provoking that would be, if have just
stayed away to please him.
Marianne being of the same mind. toilettes
were made. and the two sailed forth
Now 1t so happened that. had they not been

Of sight behind the point of the bay; for Lady
Carnouste had set forth for her accustomed
drive rather earlier than usual. having reasons
Of her own.

that afternoon III the carrying chair whereof
DR.. McWhinnock had secured the loan, and
Lady Carnoustie did not herself playing

She disliked fuss, unless she herself were the
centre of the fuss. A cortege sweeping in with

would have to follow. would be contrary to her
taste in every respect: and. accordingly. she

CHAPTER XII.
THE SINGING MAN

Penelope had brushed past those standing
nearer than herself to Captain Ainse's couch
and had responded to his query Of amy one play
piquet ," with an eager and almost defiant en-
thusiasn.
Penelope. silly child was vastly pleased with
herself for this performance
For nearly a fortnight she had had no oppor-
mnity Of showing Mr. Redwood how well she
and this gay. lght-hearted soldier hit ii of. how
thoroughly they understood each other and
what fun they had; here was the opportunity
She did know some games Of cards she could
easily pick up others; anyhow she would enrol
herself Captain Ainslie's pupil. and permit Mr.
Charles Redwood to make much or as little
Of the fact he chose.
AS far as she could see. Redwood and Nina
were progressing nicely. To be sure she as orig
lnator of the movement had To attend closely to
its workings. and take a good deal OF the active
management into her own hands. She had To
suggest walking with her cousin along the road
which Redwood must needs take on his way
home from the moor; she had TO call the halt
and do a good deal OF the conversation. when Of
course by chance he met the pair. and inquire
If Mr.. Redwood thought of coming over to cheer
the sick man in the evening.
That accomplished when Redwood came she
had TO contrve how he should be thrown into
her cousins company in the antecedcnt mo-
ments how these should be heightened. how
Nina should be somewhere about when Redwood
emerged from captain AinSlieS room; how the
lovers should meet on Sundays, and walk side by
side away from the church door-tOgether with
many other minor artfces. which she told her
self with little shake Of her head We're all
extremely necessary only IL rather drol
that she should have to think of them IL Nina

To whom all moralists are one.

While others toll. you simply live,
And based upon staple past.
Remain a sound conservative!

Through eyes of unalloyed content,
And. IN my study chair upcurled.
Move me to pensve wonderment!

The perfect balance of your ways
They seem an inspiration caught
From other laws in older days.
Your padded footsteps prowl my room
Half in delight and half dlsda!n;
You like this air of studious gloom
When streets without are cold with rain!

You'll take your last look Al the sky
And be puzzle to the end.

In q petition fled by plaintiff against
defendant 1t was alleged that the plaintiff
was about TO commence an action against her
husband, who was then within the jurisdic-
tion OF the court. for alimony; that he was
possessed OF real and personal property of the
value OF $1,000 without any statement where
the property was situated or that the defend
ant was resident of the state; that the de-
fendant who was the district Judge Of the
court where the action was about to be COM
menced, advised the husband to withdraw
from the jurisdiction of the court to avoid
service Of summons, and to dispose of his
property; that subsequently she brought her
action and obtained service upon her husband

Fe railroad to book. 1t had been capi-
talized upon the basis OF dollar wheat,
helped to impoverish the sections it pro-
fessed to serve, and, when it reached the
repair shops Of the United States courts
with receiver in charge, it carried
$4,000 per mile of wstered stock. It
owned or operated 9,345 miles Of track
in fourteen states and territories, and
had entered the the commercial field bV
investing in Aztec Land and Cattle COM
pany, the Rsnton Coal and Coke company,
the San Pedro Coal and Coke company,
the Mineral Belt Coal and Iron company,
etc. It's plant can be duplicated with
sum Of money equal to the nominal
value Of its wRtered stock. But compe-
tition, with other systems, forced it into
an indebtedness Of $24O,OO0,OOO. The
time came when the problem of rail.
reading became q problem Of finsncier-
ing, and lawyers and financial experts
undertook to restore equilibrium. Other
systems were bending under similar
loads. While two years ego forty.two
railroad systems controlled nearly half Of
the mileage Of the country, one year ago
forty-three systems controlled 81 86 per
cent Of the mileage. In the wreck Of
roads that followed, seventy-one landed
in receivers hands, with freight rates
rising and wheat and corn continually
declining. These systems fought each
other with one hand, as it were, and
struck at the vitsls Of the people with
the other.
Not the least demorslizing feature Of
this grand game Of sell. destruction,
called free competition, 10 the incidental
degradation OF the legal profession. The
law firm that had the Santa Fe receiver
ship proceedings in hand has been
known to charge as high az 5 per cant
Of the indebtedness Of q road for fore
closing its mortgage. When the sppli-
cation for q receivership for the Santa
Fe system was made before q federal
Judge at Little Rock, Ark, three ex-
judges appeared as attorneys for the
Union Trust company Of New York, q
fourth sx-judge for the Santa Fe system,
and q fifth ex.judge for the st. Louis
and San Francisco road. Some light is
thrown on this roundup Of retired
judges by remark Of President Clark,
Of the New York, New Haven h Hart
ford road, concerning the appointment
of an ex-judge for vice president Of his
road: '"The directors see that the meth
ods OF managing the property must con-
form to its growth. Our experience Ia |
that OF other railroad systems. Instead
OF having technical railroad man az
vice president, they have selected Judge
Hall for that Office" The chief justice
Of the state Of Pennsylvania retired from
the bench to become one of the Reading
receivers. The roads Of Nebraska last
autumn forced the chief justice Of tnat
state into private life, because he rem
dered q decision against their interests.
An investigating committee of the
Virginia legislature recently found that
three railroads had spent 5000 each in
the legislative campaign of last year.
The legislature has elected q railroad at
torney TO the United States senate. Elk.
Governor Lee is reported to have said in
this connection: II believe the railroads
