The disturbance in the camp was only

BALTIMORE BY TROLLEY.
1t May Soon be Possible to go
to Baltimore City by Trolley.

For some months past there has
been negotiations quietly going
on looking to the construction of
an electric railway between Fred
erick and Baltimore City. Last
week it became known that those
interested in the project had ac-
qnired majority of the stock of
the Frederick and Woodsboro
Turnpike Company, the purpose
being to use the turnpike for
road bed. AT the same time eff
forts were being made to secure
lease from the Liberty and
Frederick Turnpike Company
granting the electric road people
the privilege of using that pike
also for a road bed, and from reli.
able sources it appears that too
has been accomplished.
James Il. Ingram, Jr., of Bal
timore, who is prominent among
those who are pushing the pro
posed enterprise, said on Monday
to Baltimore SIM reporter, that
it hoped to have matters in shape
by the end of thirty days to be-
gin the work of construction.
The other parties connected with
Mr.. Ingram i'll the enterprise are
Messrs. Frank H.. Galloway, Mil
ton w. Offut. Fielder G. Sling
lutf and S. b. Banks, most of
whom are largely identified with
the United Railways and Elec-
trio Company, of Baltimore. A
company capitalized at 81, 900, 900
is to be organized by them within
about ten days. Estimates are
being prepared by engineers and
it is said that the road is to be in
readiners for operation by next
summer.
The line, it is stated, begins at
the crossing of the Liberty turn
pike and Garrison avenue, North
Walbrook, where a terminal is to
be built. The line of the turnpike
is to be followed as far as the
North Branch, and beyond that
place private rights of way are
to be secured. Mr.. Ingram says
that the country to be served by
the line is thickly settled and
that it will do a good business.
From Liberty to Frederick, a .
distance of II miles, the line may
run on the turnpike between those
two places, as negotiations have
been underway for the turnpike
stock.

He began the second circuit of the
bushes, more careful now than ever, not
making the slightest noise, lest his enemy
should hear and take warning When
he YVES half way arou,d. the sound of
shots to both left and right rose, and he
knew that his comrades were in battle
with the other sharpshooters. But they
were too far away to be seen, and he did
not take his mind from his own particu-
lar part OF the work. 1t was one of the
merits of Mason that he knew how TO
attend to his own business.
He was as patient now as the Indians
whom he initiated, creeping forward and
then turning back, seeking to entrap his
wary foe But the man seemed to re-
turn with him every time AID still re-
manned hidden. Mason could not tell
whether his enemy was endeavoring to
escape or pursue. He laughed noise

TO it a moment, although he never doubt
ed that his comrades would win. But
he trusted that they would not win too
soon, as he wished to finish his own
affair without help.
Then he turned suddenly and went
swiftly back on his own track. catching
glimpse of q dark figure around the
curve Of the bushes. He raised his rifle
and fired, but not quicker than the other
man. The reports were simultaneous,
and bullet clipped the clothing on
Mason's shoulder. Whether his enemy
was struck or not he did not know, and
there was no sound.
Mason was annoyed. He must devise
some method of finishing it quickly. He
lay quite still and pondered deeply for

Forward he went. searching the inter

in his courage and his Judgment, he
began to creep around the bushes, his
ringer on the trigger, ready to fire at the
hrst glimpse. He reached the other
side, but nothing was there-only a trail
IN the snow to show how his enemy, too,
had made the circuit-and the bushes
still stood between.

that the man should not escape. He

with powerful emotions, and triumnb

was delivered into his hands. God was
good and intended to see that he secured
his just revenge. How could he doubt

him? '''

Mason's figure was still rigidly erect,

sought those of Markham, which waver-
