RAILROAD SETTLEMENTS.

ment. papers were prepared for an ap-
peal. Then the reorganization COM
mittee came forward with an offer to
increase its bid to 100000 900 instead
Of SAC, 754, 059.99. Subsequently, to set
tie all points In dispute, the re-organ-
ization committee decided to abandon
this second bid and to increase the
minimum amount to be offered for the
property to $5s.44S.223.75, being the
total amount due, the government on
account of the Union Pacific road, as
stated by the secretary Of the treas
ury, including the sum Of $4549,-
368.26 cash in the sinking fund. Such
an amount was bid by the re-organiza-
ton committee on November !, 1897,
and the sale was confirmed by the
court on November 6, 1897. After the
confirmation of the sale the whole
amount was paid into the treasury
Of the United States in convenient in
stallments, thus relieving the govern
ment from any loss whatever upon
its claim for principle and interest
due upon its subsidy, and bringing to
a final and most satisfactory termina-
ton one of these long standing and
troublesome questions.
I'm the case Of the Kansas Pacific
indebtedness, by decree Of the court
an upset price on the sale Of the
property was fixed at sum which
would yield to the government $780,
900. The reorganization committee
in conference with the government
declared its purpose of making no
higher bid than that fixed by the de-
cree Of the court, SO that the govern
ment was confronted with the dam
ger of receiving for Its total lien upon
this line, amounting to nearly $13,-
100000, principal and interest, only
the sum of $2,5o0,000. Believing the
interest of the government required
that an effort, should be made to OBJ
tain a larger sum, and the govern
ment having the right to redeem the
membranes upon the property,
which were prior to the lien of the
government subsidy, by paying the
sums lawfully due in respect thereof
out of the treasury OF the United
States, the President, on February g.
1898, authorized the secretary of the
treasury to pay the amounts lawfully
due upon the prior mortgages upon
the eastern and middle divisions OF
said road.
'Then the reorganization commit
tee Of the Kansas Pacific offered to bid
for the road sum which would realize
to the government the whole amount
of the principal Of the debt-$6, 300 900
1t was believed that no better price
than this could be obtained at later
date If the sale should be postponed
and it was deemed best to permit the
sale to proceed upon the guaranty

CHAPTER vi.

toward the west, Namarah called to
her maidens, and arrayed herself In
garments richly wrought and beauti-
full, as one that keepeth a great feast.
Her robe was all OF white, embroid-
cred with gold, and the encrusted folds
fell heavily about the splendid curves
of her most noble figure. In her loos-
ened hair were twisted chains of gold
that wrapped it in and out, and made
light and darkness beautiful to see.
About her shoulders, which her robe
left bare, she wrapped scarf Of
golden tissue, through which her
cleaning neck and arms shone fair as
moonlight seen through sunbeams.
And when the maidens and all the
household Of Jephthah wondered to see
her so adorned, she spake, and said
unto them:
II go to meet my father Jephthah
and his host returning from victory
And when they asked her:
How knowest thou that he hath
won the day, and IS returning?'
She made answer, as the saying was:
"a little bird hath told me-"
And they knew not how true indeed
were the words she spake.
And as the sun sank lower and lower
and it began to draw toward evening
behold, there fell upon the ears Of Ma
marah and her maidens the distant
sound of tramping horses and anon
the notes Of a trumpet.
"They be notes Of victory; even as
thou hast said" spake one Of the maid
ems, while Namarah stood and listened
GREATNESS and half troubled, like an
image of too perfect Joy. And Mama
rah said:
II will even 60 forth to meet them. .
Whereat her maidens wondered, fol
1t was her custom to await her father
within the house, feeling Of timidity
ever preventing her from appearing
before the eyes OF the soldiers. But
now there showed in all her bearing
a very noble pride, SO that she looked
no longer a shy and trembling maiden
but woman and the daughter Of a
conqueror. There was most rich
hue of roses on her cheeks, and hel
great eyes blazed and sparkled, so that
Namarah looked that day being oil
such glorious beauty as none who
looked on her had ever seen before.

may reach forth to mine with the same

Now, as the maiden Namarah read
these words. there rose within her SO
great rapture that her very face did
glow and become radiant with JOY.
For until her eyes had rested on the
young man Adina, she had known not
what 1t was to feel the mighty love
wherewith tender virgin loveth. with
her soul and heart at once, the youth
whose nobleness and virtue command
her worship and devotion, and the ex-.
ceeding JOY Of this moment wrapped
her soul in a great wave Of ecstasy,
that make the shining of her eyes like
unto the light Of stars. To feel that
Adina loved her, he who was unto her
eyes the very prince Of men, and that
her well-beloved father looked with
favor on their union was bliss SO
great, that almost she felt as II her
heart within her must burst for very
Joy. AS she sat in her chamber alone,
and read again and yet again the pre-
cious message that the bird had
brought, such visions as ever fill the
minds Of maidens when love is come
in truth passed like pictures before
her. She saw herself meeting with
Adina without the need Of cohcealment
and she felt again those arms about
her and those kisses on her lips, at the
mere memory Of which she thrilled.
She saw the calm delight upon her be-
loved fathers face, as he blessed her
union with Adina, and gazing further
yet into the future, she saw herself
the happy wife and mother.

race was run the horse was led up in

he didn't get mad either The joke was
TO steal him. Yes. right after the cere-

into cab, and then drove him ont six

locked him up in a barn and kept him
there three days The bride waited for
him in a royal suite of rooms in an As

her TO travel down alone. promising her
