A n INTERFAMILY quarrel between
~ two houses up on Lynn street,
with the consequent estrangement be
tween Conductors Grimes and OCoh-
nor, fathers and husbands of the war
ring groups, respectively, were power
full factors in the last chapter, but
Casey's sweetheart with the sunlit
hair was the cause of the trouble. She
was innocent of all evil intent, but be-
tween her comeliness and Casey's feel
ings the most serious consequences
nearly resulted to both parties, not to
me ntion two train loads of Italian la
borers and a bunch of the c0mpany's
money. And il it had not been for that
Lynn street feud and he fact that
both train crews took SIDES therein
well, Casey and the girl would not have
gone picnicking the next day.
How the feud originated no one
seemed to know, not even Casey, and
afterward he was too glad to accept
the bare fact to inquire. But after the
kids" the mothers took it up, and the
fathers had to follow suit to keep
peace in their own families. 1t was
serious by this time. Each of those
two men had said things which had
been passed along by mutual friends
till neither could speak to the other.
Oh, they were sore hearted. They met
face to face that morning in the little
booth next to the Office where Casey,
the train dispatcher, held the chair.
One glared into space and the other
scowled, and they passed. Casey saw
them and laughed, and later in the day
was thankful tnat it was so.
Casey's division ran from GAINESVILLE
up to Baraboo, or Whereabouts, and
Grimes and O'Connor were in charge of
The two gravel trains working the cut
north Of GAINESVILLE. Their trains load.

mic The dispatcher couldn't resist. He
stepped out for just little spiel" a
very short one. Annie was such good
hand TO Josh" with.
Casey returned to his desk a last.
Nothing had happened, and every hing
was all right. The operator at the tank
wanted instructions. Grimes en-
gineer was ready to go back, but re-
quested additional orders TO take on
his train at the cut, and then go rolling
down the line to Jane syiiie. without
waiting for further Geographic in
structions.
If Casey had been thoroughly him
self he would not have granted it, be-
cause spch thing is ire gular in rail
road practice. and two trains nearly
always get into trouble when they try
to pass on the same track. But for ten
seconds it slipped his mind that he had
given O'Connor the right of way, And
in that ten seconds, having Annie's
smile before his eyes and being be-
neyolently inclined to all, he told
Grimes engineer to 90 ahead.
Then he looked out and saw Annie
waving at him from across the track,
She. too, had forgotten something,
Did he prefer beef tongue or ham in his
sandwiches? That was all, or nearly
all, and it was quickly settled. He pre-
ferred ham.
But when Casey got back and looked
at his order book he turned white. Ac
cording to the stories in the magazines
he should have drawn gun on him Elf
or died of heart disease. This is true
story, however. and Casey did nothing
of the sort He shut his lips tight and
all the sunshine of the day turned
black, and all the pretty things he had
been thinking about the girl turned
black with it. lie jumped 10 the tick

er and tried to rouse the operator at
the cut.
The brute was slow, and when he did
answer he said that Grimes train had
gone. Gone Casey was almost reach
ing for the gun in the top drawer But
he didn't. He worked the instrument
again.
Chase it," ratified Casey, and the
operator chased.
In the next ten minutes Casey got
his first gray hair.
Now, from the cut to GAINESVILLE it is
down grade all the way. The gravel
train had stood on a siding, and the
brakeman had to jump to catch the
caboose after he had locked the switch.
The track was bad and good sprinting
out of the question. The operator was
long-legged chap, however, and he
had a chance.
Meanwhile Casey sat still and wait
ed. He saw the wreck-yividly-t
steaming ruin Of the engines, the
heaped-up train and the bodies lying
side by side under blankets. Then the
inquest and all the rest of the night
mare. There was murder on his hand 5
unless that train was Stopped. And If
it was stopped-well, there would be
words Of comment by trainmen, mes
sages over the wire 10 the division SUI
perintendent and others not by Casey,
and it would be all over with Casey's
railroad career, to say nothing of An
ME and the picnic.
O'Connor had left GAINESVILLE long ago
and was now plugging along up the
grade. with numerous curves ahead
and 50 dagoes behind. Grimes train
was rapidly gaining Roadway. string
ing out of the siding and rafting onto
the main track, going faster with every
yard.
The long-legged operator ran rapid
~. just as the train Strengthened out
for the down grade of the main line
he caught the last hand rail of the ca
boose and was flung off his feet, but
hung on and climbed aboard.
And there they stood, the engine
putting and blowing off and Grimes
talking very earnestly with his en-
gineer when the O'Connor train pulled
in, 1t was the long-legged operator
who saved the trains--but il was the
backyard quarrel that saved Casey.
Grimes scowled, O'Connor glowered,
conversation was out Of the question
and official joint reports not TO be
thought of. In the feud that had dis
rupted the neighborhood up on Lynn
street the poor train dispatcher who
had nearly sent two trains over the
Great Divide was forgotten.
SO Casey and the little lady with the
suniit hair went on their picnic up the
river according to schedule Paul X.
Wright, in Chicago Record Herald.

d and shcyelca IF alternately at the
ut and the fl, as ;he case might be,
md small were the ciylities that
passed between crews.
Casey was rather a young man for so
responsible a calling. but there was
one line besides train disPatching at

and he was finding constantly that his
pathway was beset with new perpleXi-
lies and wonderments. This morning

o the work in hand. Instead of train
numbers and switches and sidirgs and
stations his mind was filed with such
irrelevant matters as the shape Of a
certain young woman's nose and the
way the sun shone in her hair. But he
pulled himself together and got the

The alternating gravel trains were
attended to early. Conductor Grimes
and his so Italian laborers were sent
back TO the cut TO finish loading their
train with gravel. 9'Connor and his
gang were put to work for awhile at
he fill unloading the fiat cars that had
beer filed the night before by the
steam shovel All this was easy. The
passenger trains and the through and
way freights were reported O. f., and
Casey allowed his min dto wander Just
little, prospecting on the quality of
picnic weather he and Annie would get
tomorrow for their trip up the river
Then he was called back to earth by a
message from the operator at the cut
FIVE miles above. Grimes wanted to
run up to the water tank, three miles
further on, to fill the tender. Casey
gave the right of way.
About this time O'Connor had fin
shed his unloading at the Fl and his
'oug train of empty fats pulled up at
he station for orders. The 80 ''da-
goes" sat compiacently in the sun,
moling their black pipes and saying
nothing, like so many craven images.
Casey sent them along the line to the
cut for another load. Casey laughed
again a the sto.idity Of the Italians,
and wondered Il they ever felt as he
did. They did not seem to care wheth-
er schoo, kept or not, but then, they
didn't know the condition Of the train

ought to have been of vital interest to
them. Still, the passengers and the
through and the way freights were do

o'clock.
Just then Annie came by. She ought
not to have done so in business hours,
but she wanted to ask Casey what

NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.
Catarrh is Found Everywhere.

Catarrh is FOUND everywhere.
Catarrh is at home anywhere and every
where. While more common in cold,
changeable climates, it is by no means
confined to Them but is prevalent in every
State and Territory in the Union
The common definition of catarrh is a
chronic cold in the head which if long
neglected often destroys the sense of
smell and hearing, but there are many
other forms of the disease, even more
obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh Of the throat and bronchial
tubes as we'll as catarrh of the stomach
and liver are almost as common as nasal
catarrh and generally more difficult to
cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly blood disease
and can only be successfully eradicated
by an internal treatment. Sprays, wash
es and powders are useless as far as
reaching the real seat of the disease is
concerned.
DR.. McIverney advises catarrh sufferers
to use new, preparation, sold by drug
gists, called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause actual analysis has shown these
tablets to contain certain anti-septic
qualities of the highest value and being
an internal remedy, pleasant to the
taste, convenient and harmless, can be
used as freely as required,as we'll for
children as for adults.
An attorney and public speaker, who
had been catarrh sufferer for years
says:
Every fall | would catch a cold which
would settle in my head and throat and
hang on all winter long and every win
ter it seemed to get little worse. |
was continually clearing my throat and
my voice became affected to such an ex-
tent as to interfere with my public speak
ing.
| tried troches and cheap cough cures
and sometimes got relief, but only for a
short time, until this winter when
learned Of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, through a newspaper adj
vertisement. Two fifty cent boxes which
l bought at my druggists, cleared my
head and throat in fine shape and to
guard against return of my old trouble
keep box of the tablets on hand and
whenever l catch a little cold I take
tablet or two and ward off any serious
developments.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserve to
head the list as a household remedy, to
check and break up coughs and colds, be-
cause unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures these tablets contain no OPT
ate cocaine or any injurious drug.

were examined: Minus Meares, A. A.

w. Owen, M. W. Pridgen, Snowden Sim
gletary and Charles Gore. They testified
that property in their county, real and
personal, had been assessed at it's true
cash value, namely, what it would bring
at voluntary sale for money and the
entire absence of any rule or custom to
the contrary
j. T. Kerr, one of the assessors in New
Hanover county, and a former member
of the General Assembly of North Caro-
lima, testified that he had never heard
of any purpose or intention of any as
SCISSOR in the county to assess property
for taxation at less than its value. He
also testified to true and fair valua-
tion of property for taxation in 1899
ID. McEachern, Chairman of the Board
of County Commissioners, testified that
he was a member of the Board of Equali-
cation in so and was assessor in '95; that
as assessor he tried to assess property
for taxation at it's true value in money;
that assessors in go increased the valua-
ton of property in Wilmington very
largely; that the Board OF Equalization re-
duced the assessment of a great many
pieces of property in the city of Whining
ton to what the board regarded as its
actual cash value. This was the sole
purpose of the board in making the re-
duction. He mentioned a number of val
liable lots in Wilmington which had still
been over assessed; he stated that in the
valuation of bank stock the intention of
the board was TO fix it's real value and
not to make an arbitrary GRASSES
ment; that ne had no knowledge of any
purpose of assessors or Board of Equaliza-
tion to assess property otherwise than at
its true cash value.
He was asked on cross examination if a
number of citizens of Wilmington had not
valued their personal property very low
II said that they valued some of it low
with reference to cash price, but not with
reference to what it could be sold for
for cash. He further said that he thought
that there was more cash on hand and on
deposit than had been listed for taxation.
