A. T. & S. F. BETTERMENTs.
Order Given for 10000 Tons of
RaiIs-D. & r. G. Improve
ments.

DENVER, Dec. 24-The Santa Fe
railroad has contracted for probably the
largest order for steel rails given since
the building of the Union Pacific rail-
way. For the year 1899, 10000 tons of
steel rails have been ordered, that
amount being sufficient, approximately,
to lay 1900 miles of road. Out of this
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company Sc
cures contract for l5 900 tons, an or.
der that will keep the works busy for a
period of nearly month. Nearly the
entire line from Chicago to San Fran
cisco will be put In new rails. Part of
the road has already been relaid with
new steel and the rest of the road will
be completed as rapidly as possible.
A great many other changes are to
be made in the system. All the old
wooden bridges are being taken out
and steel substituted. All unnecessary
crooks and turns are being eradicated.
Eighty-6ve new locomotives, passenger
and freight, have been ordered and new
and improved car wheels are being put
under all the coaches.
THE D. 8 r. G. TOO.
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The directors
of the Denver & Rio Grande have de-
clared dividend of two per cent. on
preferred stock. In addition to ten
new locomotives the directors author
lied the purchase of 500 new box cars,
250 palace stock cars and 250 coal cars.
The directors further authorized i'm
provements of the line, bringing all of
southwestern Colorado five or six hours
nearer to Denver. This will be done by
shortening the line over Vete Pass. The
cost of all improvements will be de-
frayed by means of special revenue
funds without encroachlng upon the
earnings of the railroad.
Chairman George Coppell says: "The
dividend of two per cent. on preferred
stock means that our company is now
on four per cent. per annum basis"
President Jeffrey, after the meeting
said: "In the seven years l have lived
in Colorado have never seen such evil
dence of general prosperity as we now
have. This applies to all kinds of bus
iness and trades, and best of all, the
mining interests.which form the basis of
Colorado's prosperity. The Denver &
Rio Grande is enjoying larger ton
mage than ever before in its history, and
altogether rates are lower. Our net
earnings are quite encouraging"

pushed back the lovely hair from the
white forehead.
You'd better go upstairs, Lizzie -
he said, tenderly.
They put her to bed shortly after
that, but before morning sharp pains
set In and a doctor was hurriedly sent
for.
AS the fever rose she grew light
headed and babbled on about father,
Jud, and Andy, too. She thought she
was at home again, living again her
simple, humble life.
what is it, doctor?" her husband
whispered, great fear tugging at his
heart.
inflammation of the lungs" the
doctor had answered briefly.
So, in tha$ luxurious room, the strug-
bic began, the life and death angel
closing in combat. Godfrey Dilling-
ham in the terribly trying days that
followed, bending over that slight, be-
loved form, realized for the first time
what his sin had been; the misery he
must have caused his wife, the pride
that had blinded him to all parental
claims. With old Martin Chuzzlewit,
he could but exclaim: "Self-self-
self" And now she would die and
leave him.
He walked to the window and looked
across the bare and frozen fields.
"AHd they have loved her, too," he
murmured. ooh. Elizabet nv wife,
only live, and | will make it up a thou
sand times"
He would send for them now, he
whispered. AS if in answer to his
thought, the kindly physician raised
his eyes.
"Better telegraph for her parents" j."
he said. "She will reach the crisis be-
fore twentyfour hours, and she may
not PASS it,"
Ephraim Tracy was in the back yard
divesting his plump turkey of feathers
when the telegram came. Jud stood
gathering up the feathers for a duster.
"A:n't it fat, Juddie ?" said the old
man gleefully, "and won't our Lizzie
lik, it?"
Before Jud could frame an answer,
Mrs. Tracy came out and held up the
yellow sheet.
Father, father" she cried, trem-
bling!y, "a dispatch has come from
Dexter, and Elizabeth is dangerously
sick"
jim and Andrew went too.
''If Godfrey Dillingham; thinks I'm
going to stay away. he's mistaken" 4"
said jim, with big lump in his throat

But HIS mother had answered him SO

But HIS mot her had answered MIN so
sharply, Jud had gone away to his lit
tie room and cried. No one ever spoke
sharply to Judson.
And Eliza beth mourned, too. AZ
fectionate, dutiful and loving as she
was, the suIdering of old ties was
deeply painful. She wanted her moth
er; her dear old, patient father; simple
Jud with his pure, child's soul; she
wanted them all, even Jim and An
drew. Godfrey Dillingham; read his
wife's heart well, marked the sadness
of the sweet face, but he kept silent.
November with its short days passed
rapidly away, until it lacked but two
weeks till Thanksgiving.
Ephraim Tracy came home one
night bearing a live turkey.
For the lands sake, father" cried
his wife, as she came out to investigate
the nluffled gobble, what did you get
live one for?"
This is for Lizzie, mother" replied
the old man. 81 got it early SOS to fat
ten it myself for Thanksgiving. She
can Luy plenty of 'em, but she'll relish
the one father sends her most"
Mrs. Tracy brushed away a sudden
tear.
$50 she would, father" she an
swercd, softly.
So the turkey was penned securely
in the yard and fed so much by watch
full Jud that it threatened to burst
before the eventful day arrived.
Elizabeth, in her home, seemed to
grow paler and slighter these short
November days. Her husband, coming
home one night, found her shivering
over the library fire.
what is it, Elizabeth?" he asked,
anxicusly.
81 don't know" answered his wife,
her teeth chattering, 'only I'm so
cold, Godfrey"
So cold. He went up to her and

"Where's Lizzie, mother?" he would
ask. II believe she's dead"
And his mother, hastily wiping hel
eye with corner of her apron, would
always answer:
"Dead-yes, she is to us, Juddie."
And Jud would sigh, and the sun
shining on the bits of broken glass
failed to comfort him.
1t had been seven years now since
Elizabeth's wedding day. Only rarely
did she visit home, and even then the
visits were not satisfactory. Eliza be th
knew, and they knew. Old Ephraim
Tracy never went to the store when
Lizzie came home; he would sit in his
armchair and watch his beautiful
daughter with adoring eyes. Once he
came up and took the slender white
hand, sparkling with rings, into his old
knotted ones.
"Only to think of a Tracy having
rings like that" he said, exultantly.
But Elizabeth suddenly burst into
tears.
I'D give them all, father, if only
you and mother could be with me, y
she said.
The old man only pooh-poohed al
this, but it was noticed that he disap-
peared quickly, and some minutes aft
erwards they found him crying softly
in the woodshed. Yet he never seemed
to harbor any ill-will toward his son.

quie', unobtrusive way.
81 would like to see Lizzie's house, '
he said one day, looking across the
same purple hills. But meb5e it's all
for the best; it's all for the best"
Godfrey Dillingham;, with all his
faults, was not stingy, and the GER
tain, generous checks that came from
his hand to the Tracy family began to
have their effect.
Tho term of shiftlessness that had
been applied to Ephraim for so many
years gradually lifted. and a certain
air Of prosperity began to pervade
the hitherto bare little dwelling. But
the cup had its bitter drop, you may
be sire, for the Tracys never forgot
that the giver of it all desp;sed them in
his heart, and they would gladly have
returned to the pinch of poverty
again, could they but have had their
Lizzie back.
SO the years rolled by. bending 81,
Ephraim Tracy's back more and more,
silvering the hair of Elizabeth's moth

Jud's wistfu! eyes.

ing the purity OF her cheek, and he
did not answer.
So in the Tracys' little home, made
so desolate by Eliza beth's fitting, the
invitation never came. Six months after r
Elizabeth's departure, old Ephraim
Tracy came slowly home. 1t was
evening, and already the first breath
of spring could be detected in the
soft air. He sat heavily down upon
the little back porch looking more
bowed than ever and his faded eyes
were infinitely weary.
"Lizzie don't say nothin' about our
visit, mother" he began.
Mrs. Tracy was busy getting sup
per, but she came out and sat Gown by
him, taking his hand tenderly between
her own.
Don't you see through it, Eph-

wistfulness OF the troubled eyes. "We

tossed their bare arms about, as if
lamenting the loss of these CHEEKY

In the house beyond, however, all

voice, "cnly think, we've been mar
