Eight months elapse. There is an
Office in Memphis whose sign reads;
"Charles Fenning, Real Estate. Office

1t has long been remarked that Mr..
Jennings mails are enormous. lie
gets sometimes as many five hundred
letters in day. 1t is not known that
most if not all of these go to Laran.
But it is known to a few persons in
Memphis that he has a private wire to
one branch of the Laran establishment
and that he ships great quantities OF
goods in boxes and carts and barrels.
The fact is, Mr. Charles Fenning is
Hendricks most confidential lieuten-

the furnishing of information about
the Laran sanatarium, stands as a

operations.

and expense were not part of your con-
sideration. What will it cost?"
well, sir, suppose a rude but solid
bracket road can be built on one wall
for about six thousand dollars q mile. ;"
That's very nearly hundred thou
sand dollars for sixteen miles. Let us
say hundred and fifty thousand. Can
we put up an electric engine if it is
got in here by pioccmeal and make
the trucks and cars if the iron work is
supplied?'
"Unqucstionably," replied Laport.
Then the railroad question is set

mace chimney through the roof wherc
the crust is not over ten feet thick and
carry it up at the end Of the house we
arc to build over the entrance. But
Won will sec what our difficulty is. We
want light to build the road, and unit
the road is built we cannot get oul
dynamo and engine into the cave, fol
they must como in at the other end"
Il would suggest temporary light
ing arrangement, said Laport, "Th'
difficulty of delivering most of the lna
