glanced over some papers on his desk
and then up at the clock.
"Dingley back from East Newbury
YETI"
The men looked at each other in dis
may. 1t was Manley who finally spoke.
I'VE didn't know he had anything on
for to-day. and e seemed dead beat,
so we let him sleep. He's in there"
Manley nodded his head and started
for the rear office. Hinchman stopped
him. and picked up a time card.
Don't trouble yourself. nor him. A
party of that size is not to be neglect
ed, and I'll feel safer if 1 see to it
myself"
He left the office with a scowl on his
brow, but on his lips was the smile of
the morning. Manley looked at Jones,
and groaned.
That settles Dinley's hash. Just
the chance Hinchman's been looking
for"
Dingley woke at last, stiff and dull.
He listened calmly enough to the Of
fee version of his downfall and the de-
parture of Hinchman. Then with the
same imperturbable air he went out
for a shave and a bite to eat and re-
turning, awaited an opportunity of ex-
his excuse, loss of sleep during the last
trip, sounded lame in the presence of
the icy Hinchman.
THE business of the company, Mr..
Dingley, cannot be sacrificed for such
excuses. Our competitors are pushing
US harder tina never. and this is no
time for men TO be found sleeping at
their post, so to speak"
But the idea that this single lapse
of duty would outweigh nearly twenty
five years of faithful service never en-
tered Dingley's head. Besides, he knew,
and Hinchman did not. So it was a
bewildering shock when he found in
his mail, on returning from the next
rum this brief note:
May II, 19-.-Mr Samuel Dingley,
Excursion Conductor: Dear Sir: Cir
cumstances over which / have no
control compel me to ask for your
resignation, taking effect June 10.
This will give you an opportunity to

Touching Little Tale Which Goes
10 show That Bravery Is Not Con-
fined to the Soldier.
BY Anna s. Richardson.
Sergeant Allen Durfee of the high
school cadets sat on the edge OF his
iron cot and clicked his heels together
nervously 1t had certainly been the
hardest day of his fifteen-year exist
ence.
The night before had come a tele-
gram announcing:
Private James Durfee severely
wounded-thigh-ass on Calum-
pit"
The message had been sent by one
of his fathers old comrades, now con-
nected with the war department at
Washington. and the morning papers
had brought no further information. So
Allen and his mother knew that for
many long weeks. perhaps until Jim
my himself could write, they must wait
for particulars.
All day long he had been haunted by
his mothers white face as she opened
the fateful message, and by the thought
OF dear old Jimmy, who had taught
him to play marbles. baseball and foot
ball; who had fought for him when he
was imposed upon, and with him when
he deserved it-lying weak and suffer-
ing in the tropical heat of Luzon.
And cropping up with the heartache
was a persistent pang of jealousy. jim
my was only eighteen when he enlist
ed, and Allen had begged so hard to

a brave soldier, he argued. Did three

Allen sprang to his feet, dashed cold
water in his face and rubbed it vigor-
ously with a Turkish towel. But in
spite of this treatment his mothers

saw the fast freight of the c. r. e. N.
backing down to the union depot.
There was not a second to lose when
Allen started on his race with the ex-
press. His training in the athletic field
stood him in good stead, but the train
gained on him steadily as he sprinted
down the track. Suddenly the despair
ing, agonized cry of the mother fell on
his ear. He had discarded hat and
package, and now he was making such
time as he had never scored on the
track. The blood was surging to his
ears. Before him rose the awful pic
ture of the little figure crushed under
the pitless wheels. One great leap, a.
clutch at the little foot, caught in the
frog. and with the frightful, roaring
monster of steel and iron rumblng over,
their heads, he and the sobbing child
rolled down the embankment.

each other at the foot of the bank the

SAM DiNGLEY'S RESIGNATION.
A story of Railroad Politics.

From the day that Hinchman was
appointed excursion manager every
body expected the ak to fall. The only
people on the force who felt secure were
the office boy, who was too Insignificant
TO invite the criticism of the new in
cumbent, and the stenographer, who
was a pretty and tactful young wo-
man. Jones took TO buying five-cent
cigars, and Manley began to patronize
a cheap lunch joint. while various 9TH
er individual economies suggested the
changes incident TO an incoming adj
ministration.
For years the Golden Gate Person
ally Conducted excursions running
from Boston to Los Angeles, had been
handled by a syndicate of five roads.
Heretofore the r. p had held the con-
trolling interest in the pool its famous
trademark had decorated all advertis-
ing matter. and the appointees to de-
sirable positions had invariably come
from r. P. headquarters in Omaha.
Hinchman was an NJ. r. e. n. man
frcm Chicago, and his appointment TO
the Boston Office was accepted as proof
that the NJ. r. & n. had gained con-
troll of the excursion business at a re-
cent board meeting.
His first order was for a railing
around his desk, with a gate on a tight
spring. Somehow his predecessor, Tom
Mayo. had never deemed a railing nee
essary. Perhaps that was the reason
that to the day of his death, Mayo's
name was on the payroll. While he
fought a grim but losing battle for life,
way up in the Catskills, the men in the
Office cheerfully worked overtime. and
the out-of-town agents hustled bust
ness for him. Hinchman, by the way,
had a poor opinion of out-of- town
agents. They lacked style and polish,
and were too familiar when they drop
Fed into the town office.
Excursion Conductor Sam Dingley
had started when a mere boy as mes
senger in the r. P. freight headquar-
tiers at Omaha. Aided by a night school
education, he had pushed his way from
one clerkship to another until, when

SUNDAY wholesome summer beverage
and one of the best is ginger beer.
Slice one ounce of green ginger root
and put it in bag with one-half ounce
of dried orange peel and boil in ten
quarts of water, which must after
wards be strained. Then add to the
water three-quarters of an ounce of
tartaric acid or citric acid; twenty ave
drops of essense of lennon and one
and one-half pounds of loaf sugar

yeast; let stand for twelve hours. then

use in three days.
Lemon beer is another easily brewed
beverage. One lemon sliced: one
spoonful tartaric acid, one ounce of
ginger root, two pounds of brown sug-
ar. two and one-half gallons of water:
let these ingredients boil: when cool.
add a pint of yeast. After standing
about twenty-four hours, put it UP in
bottles. In two days time II will be
ready for use.
Lemon cordial, another refreshing
drink, is made by putting the peel of
nine lemons in one-half gallon of
brandy; let it stand three days. Take
out the peel, add one and one-half
pounds of loaf sugar and one-half pint
of new milk. Let It stand for three
days, stirring daily, then strain through
flannel and bottle for use.
Acidulated raspberry syrup is made
by putting six pounds of raspberries
in jar with six quarts of water, in
which has been dissolved two and one
half ounces of tartaric, or preferably
citric acid let 1t stand for a day and
a night, and then strain. To each pint
of liquor, add one and one-half pounds
OF loaf sugar, stirring until the sugar
dissolves. Leave it in a cool place for
few days, then bottle for future use.
