1t was a shock for Kennedy. He
had almost completed sorting out the
letters to be delivered along his beat
when he came on that one addressed
to Nora Dillon. He recognized the
chirography instantly. He had seen
it many times. The letter had been
written by Bertram Ryder. Ryder was
not only a fellow-postman, but his
warmest and most intimate friend.
Why, he had not known that Ryder
was even acquainted with Nora-the
girl whom he had come to love with
a passion quite incommensurate with
his pay and his prospects.
Not that this latter fact would mat
ter if they really loved each other.
So far Kennedy had not dared to put
his affection to the test of a declara-
ton. But he had been screwing his
courage up to that point for weeks,
and-although he was far from being
a conceited fello7-he had felt thai
he was being encouraged by the pretty
daughter of the prosperous contractor
on Elm avenue.
If only she would come to the door
for the mail today! He would watch
her-would notice her acceptance of
the envelope addressed by Ryder. The
thought spurred him to activity. He
FASTENED through with his work as
rapidly as possible, and went trudging

Where are in Theosophy two central
doctrines-the doctrine of Reincarna-
ton, and the doctrine of Karma- The
first is startling, the second soothing;
both are so eminently rational that
conviction almost certainly follows
comprehension, says a writer in be-
half of the new theory of life. Both
are rooted in the profound fact of evo-
luton (of which science has seen a
part, the fact that all life expands and
rises from poor and low to rich and
high plateaux.
Stronger than woe is will; that which
was Good
Doth pass to Better-Best."
''The doctrine of reincarnatfon is
that each man dwells in the flesh not
once but often. His internal, indie
structible self comes again and again
into earth life, each time in a different
race, family, condition, so that he is
confronted successfully with every
form of test and experience, assimilat-
ing into that Self the essence Of each
incarnation, and at last emerging with
an exhaustive knowledge of humanity
and a perfected character. He is not
a thousand men compounded into one,
but one man who has had a thousand
lives. As worldwide traveller learns the
peculiarities of each region and people

pie and more vigorous as the result of

Elm street. His heart was beating
home of the billions. He rang the bell,
and stood waiting, the letter in his
hand. He could hear the light, famil-
lar step he had learned to know and
listen for coming along the hall with
in, and suddenly the door had swung
back, and she was standing there, fair
and radiant in her crisp white gown,
her slim, erect young figure clearly cut
as a against the soft green
gloom of the interior.
Good afternoon, Miss Moral" He
snatched off his cap, and stood look
Ing down upon her. "a letter for you
this time"
For me?" she laughed, and held
out her hand. II don't get many let
ters."
Jim did not offer to go at once. In
stead he stood in the same attitude,
his keen grey eyes striving to read her
thoughts-her every motion. He was
conscious of a sharp tightening in his
throat at sight of the blush that way
cred instantly over her soft cheeks at
sight of the superscription.
"Oh,' she said in a low voucher
tone surprised but comprehensive.
"Oh." she put the missive hastily in
her pocket. He fancied some embar-
assment fingered in her blue eyes-or-
dinarily frank as a child's as She
glanced up at him.
You look dreadfully warm!" she
exclaimed. "It is a hot day, isn't it?
bring you a glass of lemonade? Mann
ma and / were just drinking some"
She vanished before he could refuse,
and was quickly back, a goblet con-
tanning an ic%e-tinkling beverage in her
hand.
Thank you," he said, and drank it
as well as he could for that dreadful
construction in his throat. Then he had
returned the glass, bowed, and was
gone. All, with what a heavy heart,
with what leaden footsteps was the
rest of his route covered that radiant
summer day!
How could he know that a disap-
pointed little face with puckered
brows, was gazing after him with eyes
grown suddenly misty and mystified.
He had not acted like himself at all!
What was the matter with him? She
had thought-she had fancied-
There was no mail for the Dillon
household the next uay-nor still the
next. So Jim had no excuse for stop
ping. But on the evening of the second
day he found himself driven to Elm
street. At least he could look at the
house which held her. He might even
muster up courage to ask her to go
to the contemplated picnic at Garfield
Park with him. He had been made
welcome in their home. More thar
once Mrs. Dillon had permitted her
daughter to go out with him. He had
every right to invite her. Just because
Bertram Ryder had written her a let
ter, and that she had colored con-
fusedly at sight of it, was no reason
why she would consider his attentions
welcome.
A soft, warm, dark, rainy night it
was. Kennedy, about to cross over tothe
llc.ted home of the billions, suddenly
stopped-drew back into the shadow
of a tree. For the door opposite had
opened, and two people were distinct
ly revealed in the lighted vestihule

averages four mills to a ton mile, SO
that the total revenue from the freight
business for that year amounted to
5000, 900. The expense is to be meas
ured by a unit which is called the
train mile In this instance it is the
freight train mile. The immediate
cost of running a freight train a mile
can be computed readily, and it in
cludes: Cost of fuel for the locomo-
tive, and the wages of an engineer, a
fireman, a conductor, a couple of brake
men and a fagman. The number OF
cars may be anything you please SO
far as these expenses are concerned, for
it will not affect them much. In the
present case say that the average
trainload was 400 tons, a large, but
a sound figure. Therefore the number
OF train miles that had to be run to
earn the. $4,000 was 125, 900. Train
mile cost was reckened at rs cents.
Therefore we have: Expenses, 500, $50;
profit, $106, $50. Not the actual profit,
keeping the geese separate from the
hens, and the figures have their use.
Take the company's report for the
following year, 1900. The same work
was done, let us say, So 00, 900 ton
miles. The average t%rainload, how
ever, was 500 tons. No wonder the
road found itself with more honey
to divide than it had in the year 1899.
For, by increasing the trainload the
number of train niles was lessened.
and train expenses we're inevitably re-
duced to the tune of nearly SIG, 900.
The gross revenue remained, Of course,
the same. The figures are disgrace
fully rough, but they tell the truth.
They shout it through a megaphone.
The way to make money is to increase
the trainload. A well-known technical
writer in Wall Street calls this the
tombstone of successful or economical
~railroading.' To save train miles is
to save money drop by drop, to save it
with a sure promise Of drops enough
in all to make an ocean.-New York

He recognized Nora. And that man
with spare form, and slightly STOPPING
shoulders-of course that was Bertram
Ryder.
He could hear the clear voice of the
girl speaking with cordially.
Don't you worry, Bert!" she was
saying. you can trust me to arrange
affairs so hat no one will suspect.
What's that? I'm an angel? oh, no,
I'm not" There was a ripple o
laughter. Goodbye. Till Tuesday,
then!"
Jim Kennedy turned on his heel,
and went home, sick at heart. 1t was
the little maid of all work who opened
the door to Jim when next
day duty forced him to ring
the door bell of the Dillon
domicile. And on the day following he
found himself waiting there rebellious
and miserable. with another letter from
Bertram Ryder in his hand. This time,
although it was Nora Who eagerly
opened the door, and stood as if wait
ing for him to speak, he only liftee
his cap formally, handed her the let
ter, n turned away without a word.
And as he strobe angrily off, his
smouldering jealousy was famed to
fresh flame by the sight of Bertram
himself coming ~jauntily up the street.
1t was evident that he had received
cave of absence, for he was in his best
civilian attire, and looked particularly
sanguine and joyous.

would have stopped Kennedy, but that
individual jerked free from the friend
ly hand laid on his arm, and strobe on.
Ryder looked after him in dismay, but
the next instant he had caught sight
OF Nora. He sprang up the steps.
There was no need to send that
last letter, but I was afraid they
would not let me off. The old man was
very kind though, when | explained
the situation. Heavens, Nora, what's
the matter? You're white as a ghost
Nora's reply was distinctly feminine.
She sank down, and burst into tears.
BY the time he had succeeded in
wrestling from the girl the story of her
sorrow, he began to divine the reason
of Jim Kennedy's sudden GOODNESS to-
wards himself.
III fix that" he assured her. "Just
as soon as this little affair is over
before we ever leave town, I'll fix
that"
He was as good as his word. That
very evening he hunted up Jim Ken
nedy sitting moody and detected in
his lodging house.
Look here, Jim," he said, things
have got into a snarl, and I'm here to
untwist them. l was married this af-
ternoon-'
Married" echoed Jim. He started
to his feet as though stung. Mar
ried!"
Eyes, to Cicely Barstow, as nice a
girl as ever drew breath. We've been
as good as engaged for a year, but her
father objected to the wedding as she

wanted to hold on to. My cousin,
Nora Dillon, has helped us out by CIV
ing Cicely my letters which went IN

last ones l had to send that way, as
the old people were becoming sus-
picious. BY the way, Nora is feeling
pretty badly on account of your man
mel to her lately. Suppose you &C up
to the house and explain-eh?"
Jim grabbed his friends hand, and
wrung it energetically.
Il will-right off. Congratulations,
Bert! Good luck to you-and my best
wishes to Mrs. Ryder!"
Then a beaming-faced young man
hurriedly furnished up his toilet, and

off on his afternoon delivery, his we'll
packed bag slung over his shoulder.
The glare of early summer lay hot
and yellow on the city streets. Crowds
of well-dressed people were coming
and going. The laughter of children
mingled with the silver dripping of
a fountain in a little green square.
But Jim Kennedy could only think of
one opening door, which framed a
straight, young, girlish form in a gay
little gown. That was one of the
things which had first attracted him
to Nora Dillon-the fact that her pref
ty, bright garments, pink and hello
trope, and azure seemed somehow to
suit we'll her swift, sunny smile and
laughing blue eyes.

lighter by the time. he turned into
