"Yes," he admitted, impudently.
"And utterly undeserving of Madge

A feeling of mad passion suddenly
overcame Dick Dalyell. With a sud-
den movement he stepped forward and
caught his brother by the throat.
"You think / would do this thing!"
he said, thickly. They were standing
at the corner of the path, in front of
some bushes. There was quick,
rustling noise, and the next moment
some one laid hand on Dick Dalyelrs
arm. He gave one glance, then sud-
denly let go his grip. Before them
stood Madge Escott, white to the lips,
her eyes wet with tears.

Then she turned to the younger
man, who stood covering few yards
away. She drew herself up, and her
eyes flashed.

She moved her head and her eyes
met Dick Dalyell's. He was gazing
at her intently. For second they
remained thus, then she took step
forward and held out her hand.
"Good-by!" she said, with sob. ~
am sorry!" She turned and vanished
down the path.

CARS BOUGHT BY JUNK DEALER
Relics of street Railway Traffic
Doomed TO Destruction.

Twenty-Five old horse cars, some Of
them about the first in use on the lines in
Washington, are ROW in process OF de-
mOlition. Superintendent H. W. Fuller,
Of the Metropolitan Street Railway, has
begun his spring cleaning by disposing Of
the whole lot Of ancient vehicles that
have been cumbering the Yards Of the
railway for many years. So long have
some stood on the tracks ~ the yards
that nobody is able TO say when they
were placed out Of commission. The
Fuesses are various among the employees
at the barn and among the officials OF the
road, but it is certain that some cars
have stood wind and weather FOR fifteen
years. All look their age.
Where there used 10 be glass windows
there are now gaping holes, for the chill
dren in the vicinity have made the cars
the target for their stones. There is hut
scant trace Of any varnish upon the
seats. and the remnants Of upholstery
now iutter in the breeze. Rust is on the
wheels and the brake handles and chairs
are almost eaten through. On the dash
board are stiIl to be seen the scratches Of
horses hoofs, and on the inside are still
visible the marks OF the drivers shoe toe,

streets Of Washington.
The problem Of the destruction of the
cars was quite difficult 10 solve, since 20
break Ip the old bodies and cart them Off
would be expensive and would require
time. The old cars as they stood were
valuable only for the iron and small
amount OF brass contained in them, and

wood and preserving the metal.
1t was finally decided to burn the cars,
and Mr.. Fuller made arrangements with
the fire department 10 be on hand with a
hose and to take all precautions to pre-
vent the fire spreading.
The cars are stored at the Seventh
Street loop and the company has ground
sufficient there TO be able to accomplish
the burning a least 100 feet from any
frame building. After all arrangements
for disposing of the cars In this manner
had been made the superintendent was
approached by Ben Einstein, a junk deal
er who offered TO buy the cars and break
them Up himself. the work to begin this
morning. The bargain was closed last
night and the cars are now subject to the
demand Of the junk dealer.
