The colonel smiled indulgently, shrug
ging his shoulders. Clearly the girl
was bent upon pursuing the subject to
the earth. HE claims that the Grub
stake levels have been carried beyond
the side lines into the Mascot territory.
1t happens that he made a very rich
strike in the ground where the Grub
stake lode crosses his claim. He
thought he had distinct vein-that it
was his ore all right; but when we be-
gan drifting from our side we found
that our vein made turn at that point.
that it was the Grubstake lode into
which he had blundered-that being
the prior location. 1 was in no hurry
to get involved in legal controversy;
preferred to go on quietly with the de-
velopment work until could be abso-
lutely sure in the premises; and so it
happened that Neil got ahead of me in
this suit. I think, however, that we
shall have little difficulty. when The
time comes, in proving to him the error
of his ways" There was cool amuse-
ment in the smile that just lifted the
ends of the blond mustache.
OO YOU Cnlnk ne can De honestly mis-
taken in the matter, this-person ?"
Dorothy asked, her cheeks flushing a
little with the question, eager interest
in her eyes.
"Oh, certainly. Why not? So much
depends upon the point of view, you
know. In Neil's place L should think
the same as he does, and make the very
same fight. without any question Bust
ness is business. We can't blame man
for taking what he can get"
provided he gets it honestly" the
young lady supplemented. in a tone of
righteous severity.
''Oh, of course, provided he gets it
! honestly" her father agreed, his smile
rather sardonic. only in these times
the world does not always bother itself
to ask how he gets it,

''But that would be swindle," she
persisted. And if this man thinks he
is right-if he is only mistaken"
''Merciful heavens, Dorothy, you

his patience plainly exhausted. THE

HOMESICKNESS.

Like children in a garden fair,
Who wander thro' each Powerful maze,
And drink from sunny founts with glee.
And look with long and lingering gaze
Upon the wondrous scene;-yet fain
Would be at home for love and rest
So we, in this bright world of ours,
With strange inconsistencies are possest
Through garden fair and palace proud
We vainly seek our hearts to please.
Life spreads her feast-we sit US down.
Yet never are we quite at ease.
Some hope-some yearning stirs the soul.
Fen with the chalicelat our lips
Some rapturous strain from shores afar,
That doth all meaner ruirth eclipSei
Yet earth, kind mother, fam would charm
And is herself SO fair to see
And offers many a cup of joy,
But none without safety;
And she hath many a garden fair,
That tempts our eager feet to roam,
Yet never are We quite at ease,
And never feel we quite at home!
What meaneth it, that We should weep,
More for our joys than for our fears
That we should sometimes smile at grief,
And look at pleasures show thro' tears
Alas-but homesick children we,
Who would, but cannot play, the while
We dream of nobler heritage,
Our Fathers house, our Fathers smile:

'Was it one of your witnesses in this
lawsuit that you went to see this aft

The colonel looked family surprised
"He is one of my witnesses now" he
returned, with grim emphasis on the

Dorothy, what has come over you?
You remind me of your mother"
Dorothy laughed, too well accus-
toned to such overt attacks upon her
mothers methods to think of resentinS
the imputation in her behalf. The
truth of the matter was that the late
Mrs. Meredith, seeking to pry with i'll
advised pertinacity into such matters
as the colonel regarded as his own pri-
vate concerns, would have been rele-
gated to her legitimate sphere of in
terests with scant ceremony, while at

to his brusque methods of belittling
her had only served to increase bound

would adorn, when an undertakerS wagon
drove up and stopped in front OF her door
and a solemn looking driver in rusty black

The improvements on the Main Line of
the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and be-
tween Martinsburg, ". Va, and North
Mountain, have been completed sNoVem-
Der LIST. They cover distance of nearly
four miles, starting three mics west of Mar
tinsburg, and extending some distance
west of Myers Hole, which is near the North
Mountain station. At Myers HoIeethe line
was changed. taking out some very OBJ
jectionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two
grades of A. feet per mile which came to-
gether at Myers Hole and substituting there
for an almost level track. Inis point on the
road has always been dangerous one. and
many freight wrecks have occurred=there-
Apart from doing away with the dangerous
feature of two sharp down grades coming
together. as was the in this Instance,
the saving in operation of the road by the
change will be very large, as 1t enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased and
reduces the liability of accident to the min
mum. At Tablers the road-bed has been
lowered about Is feet, and the same at
Tabbs, besides taking out Objectionable curry
allure and reducing the rate of grades at
these points from 40 feet per mile to 10 feet
per mile, thus increasing the cars that can
be hauled per train. Though these Improve
ments have cost quite a sum of money. the
expenditure is fully justified by the great
saving in operation.

wrongs. General Grosvenor said:
II am wholly out ot-accord with the sys-

them. are bad law. bad morals and worse

least dangerous and generally unwise.
Only where legal remedies fail. are equit-
able remedies advisable. But our judicial
system is equal to tho task Of settling all
the questions involved aud resort TO con-
gressonal legislation would be open to the
objection that would be an exercise OF
Federal power over the internal affairs OF
