the correct one, but the effect on the
fellow startled me considerably.
His eyes grew staring, and terrified,
hunted expression came over his face.
CHANGING furtively around and draw
ing back a step or two, his hand went
to his hip-pocket.
AS the CLINT of a shining object
caught my eye, Idrew suddenly back to
one side of the window, and the next
instant pistol report sounded out.
I stood still a moment, dumfounded
by the attack, then dropped on my
hands and knees and crept past the win
dow to the table, in the drawer of which
I had placed my pistol. Hastily grasp
ing the weapon and noting that it was
ready for use, 1 arose and approached
the window, holding the pistol before
me in readiness.

soon gave up the search, put <he pis-
toll in my pocket, and started briskly up
the road toward the Morley place.
If the station agent was such des-
perate fellow as to draw and shoot at a
word, what could Florence have to do
with him?
It was strange that Sonntag should
know the fellows right name and not
know the danger attendant on calling
him by it. My lawyer had seemed sur
prised when L stated that the fellow
had told me his name was Hunter. In
all probability Sonnrag had addressed
him by the name of Skinner many
times, and the fellow had not resented
it, or the lawyer would have mentioned
the fact. Why, then, should he resent
in so fierce and deadly manner my use
of his right name?
Perhaps Florence could tell me some
thing about Mr.. Hunter, or Skinner. At
least it was right I should warn her
against him.
With these thoughts fitting across
my mind, 1 soon arrived at the Morley
home, and, entering the gate, went up
the long graveled walk. Before an OPP
portunity was allowed me to ascend
the steps leading to the piazza, my name
was called.
''Why, Mr.. Conway"

IT Is OPENLY ADMITTED

BY Coal Operators That the Ohio Coal
Railroad Combine is in Active Opera

CLEVELAND, O., March 16.-It is said
that since the senate inve stigating
committee has concluded its work, coal
operators openly admit that the Ohio
coal railroad combine is in active oper-

the trust.

operator Tuesday, twas practically

Der of weeks ago. 1t now controls the
entire coal output in Ohio.
''All coal is delivered to the railroads
at stated price, and they assume the
responsibility of all sales. 1t is the
strongest and promises to be the most
successful coal combine this country
has ever seen.
1T is expected that other states will
be taken into the combine when the
time for such a movement arrives"

THAT SLICE OF WARM BREAD.

Coming home from the Office, its cares and
it's worries,
Weighing me down with a burden to-
night,
thought Of my care-free and forlicsone
boyhood,
And how quickly the years intervening
took flight;
All! we'll remember no chain could have
bound me,
AS home from the schoolhouse my eager
feet sped.
Would now that my dining brought such
satisfaction,
AS the thought Of that slice of my
mothers warm bread.
No business transaction. however success
full,
Can give such a thrill of unalloyed bliss
AS felt when mother, with limitless kind
ness,
Laid that great snowy slice in my little
brown fist.
No rhythmical wording can ever describe
Or no sweeter ambrosia the gods ever
fed:
The future had need of no optimist's
glasses,
While 1 held in my brown fist that slice
of warm bread.
Oh, often when closing my desk for the
evening,
w mere lIS TOdT VI the CITY UTOWHS Sdcn
homely sound;
imagine myself at the old country home
stead,
Where the daisies are sprinkling the soft
grassy ground;
And 1 hear in the pasture the clear tink-
ling coW-bellS,
And know to the brooks limped pools
they have fled;
am once again sitting, little brown
rascal,
Munching away at my slice of warm
bread.
While under the apple trees out in the
orchard,
The white calves are playing at bump,
with the brown,
And the birds are a-twitter preparing for
night time,
Busily feeding their babies of down.
Oh, never those memories life's hurry and
hustle
Can ever efface, till the grave hides my
head.
No pleasure of life e'er excel or quite equal
The wealth of content in that slice OF
warm bread.

two Negroes have repeatedly been con-

and in return can use their services in
any manner he sees fit.
