Dallas, Texas. December 21.-Colouel E
H. ~ ureen, president OF the Texas Mid
'ard, arrived In Dallas last night. He did
not register at any of the hotels and the
newspaper reporters ooulc not see him.
ms morning his car was attached to the
east bound Texas Trunk train for Terrell
The departure of MIR. Green via the
IeXas Trunk is regarded as being OF some
Significance by Dallas people. The road l.
forty miles long and runs from here to
Kemp, Kaufman county, and Is operated BY
the Houston and Texas Central. under the
management of William Whyte of this city
who acts as receiver. 1t is understood that
the charter of the road has expired and tina:
Mr., Green has an eye upon the property.
which will give him an entrance into Dal-
las, condition that ne has long desired to
bring about. 1t is known that he also
wants to go to Waco, and the purchase Of
the Texas Trunk would be the initial step
in that direction. When he returns some
developments may be looked for which will
tend to show his intentions.
When asked regarding the proposed alb
sorption of the Texas Trunk railroad by
r. H. X. Green, Hon Eugene Marshall.
attorney for Receiver White, remarked:
1T is possible Mr.. Green contempates
some such arrangement by which he can
enter Dallas. The charter of the Texas
Trunk has been forfeited on account of the
failure to construct a sufficient amount Of
track and at present the majority OF the
certificates of stock are owned by the Hun
tington interests"
Some believe Mr.. Green contemplates
route to St Louis by running from Dallas
over the Trunk to kaufman, over the Mid
land to laris and over the Frisco to ST
Louis Mr. Green was accompanied IN his
private car by Receiver White and others.

Love was Worth and Proved tie
Evil Of Deception Even When the

BY MARGARET LANE.
Copyright. 1896, by S. S. Mcclure Co

Down on the Seventh street pave
ment, in the Jews quarter of Washing
ton, Old Levi in his shabby shop suit
and tilted back chair, was a second
hand clothes dealer. High up in the
sixth story, he was the father OF little
lass whom he loved better than he
loved the silver coin the old clothes dali
ly brought him. For her sake ne drove
hard bargains and boarded away his
coin. For her sake he built a thick
partition wall in that high sixth story,
and shut away from his motherleSs
child all the sights and sounds of Sew
jsnth street. He made a home room for
her up there, and crowded il with lux
ury. But ever N the midst of all this
beauty stood a lace draped bed watched
and guarded by a low-voiced Jewish
nurse, and on it lay the small. slight
form and lovely face OF Lewis little
lass.
A fall in early infancy had injured
her in such way that she had never
walked. A famous physician said she
could be cured. If her father would con-
sent to a long separation and some ter
ribiy critical surgery. Old Lewis dread
was greater than his hope and his child
was very dear to him. He had not con-
scented. He had kept his lass in that
high sixth story ard. through his ten
der care, life's best and fairest things
had come to her.
Through the whole long day she did
not see her father: but when in the
evening Stiffness she heard the clear
slow strokes of a o'clock bell she
knew one half hour more would bring
him to her. And when he came. cloth
ed in fair linen and finest cloth, all hard
harsh manners left down stairs and
only gentle looks and loving words for
her, she never dreamed they lived in
one of the foulest, filthieSt quarters of
Washington, rOr that her father who
looked like her picture of the patri-
archs, was second rate, second hand
clothes dealer.
She believed his business called him.

dirty pavement and the pawnbrokings.

and luxurieS manifold to the life of his

ed.y, there came a terrible change. A

critical operation he had dreaded for
his child had been performed success
fuily-that tended by her faithful Jew
Ism nurse, the surgeons instruments
had done their famous work and now,
N that very hospital, his Adah was fast
learning TO walk. He knew none of
these things and he asked no questions.
1t seemed TO him that nothing worth
knowing about could follow the thrust
of those little white hands.
The singing in the corridor had
ceased. He lay quite still and watched
the giints of September sunlight as
they glanced through the shaded win
dows.
Something brighter than the sun
gints was coming into the room. Some
thing sweeter than the singing was
stealing to his bedside. a low-wheeled
chair rolled by Jewish woman, a fair
yourg girl, with outstretched arms and
pleading face.
They had told her to be very calm,
but she fell upon his neck and wept
there a long while. Then she raised her
tear-stained face, only TO lay it close
MY father, my father she sobbed.
Il love you with all my heart. | never
used to know you in those other days.
| know you now, and love you. See,
father, can really walk. l am grow
ing STRONGER every day, ard it is my turn
now to take care OF you all your life"
Inc whiCe hands that had thrust him
away from her were reached cut to him
pleadingly. He took them in his own
and kissed them, then laid them, as
balm, on his sore heart.
Many more weeks followed before the
doctors pronounced Old Levi as well as
he would ever be. Many more weeks
followed before Adams cure was COM
plete. But there came day when a
ship sailed out on a sunlit haTbOr and
steered straight for far Eastern shore.
On the deck, sat white-haired man
VINO looked Ike the pictures of the pa
triarchs. BY his side stood a beauu-
full. dark-eyed young girl, whose every
movement tod of love and tender care
for the old man. A gen.le-faced Jew
ish woman was in the background.
They were sailing to the Eas,. The
wealth of the wooden box was theirs TO
command. a mutual love which knew
no concealments and dreaded no dis
closures was theirs to make them even
richer. Out on sunlit harbor. over
summer seas. they sailed; to the fair
land of the Orient-the sunrise land
where should dawn new and nob,er
life for Lewis little lass.
