affairs. Constant demands were
made upon the gentlemen, who had
larger demands in other directions
and who could not afford to give the
telephone their time. The telephone
exchange had become more than a
secondary. enterprise. 1t was a good
and satisfactory property in all ways
and the old company was entirely
satisfied with it as good investment
but when an offer was made for the
disposition of the property negotia-
tions were entered into that have
resulted in the incorporation of the
new company. The business men of
the former company most certainly
deserve the expressed appreciation

the almost empty car Littlepage led
his captive to the yestibule at the
nearest end of the car. There, still
keeping silence, he opened the door
leading to the steps and pushed the fat
man down on the lowest step.
'Now jump" said Littlepage.
1t happened that the train was slow
ing up for a crossing, and the fat man
had comparatively little difficulty in
getting off. He landed on his feet,
rolled over once or twice and finally
got up again before the train got out
of sight.
Then Littlepage went back to the
aid of beauty in distress. She was
still lying back in dead faint. With
the assistance of the conductor the
distracted Littlepage finally succeeded
in bringing her back to her senses.
She looked up at Littlepage and shud-
dered
"Did you kill Cousin George? were
the first words she said.
"What do you mean?" asked the as
tonished Littlepage.
Il saw you draw your revolver on
him just before l tainted" she explain
ed. Il hadn't seen him before for ten
years. He thought he recognized me
when he first came into the car, and
that was why he looked at me so
closely. When he came back from the
dining car, be got a good look at me
and made up his mind that he could
not be mistaken. So he stopped and
asked if | was not Angie Matthews.
That was my maiden name. and of
course | knew he must be somebody
who knew me- l explained, and he
told me his name. He is my cousin,
George Elliot. What did you do with
him ?'
'He got off the train a few miles
down the road" Littlepage stammered.
"Why, he told me he was going
through to New York. l believe you
shot him and threw his body off the
carr
NO" said Littlepage; ''he got off
without making any explanation. If
you're worried about him, I'll get off
at the next station and see what's the
matter. guess perhaps I'd better do
that anyway."-Chicago Tribune.
