An important action has been be-
gun by William Randolph Hearst of
New York against the anthracite coal
carrying railroads, charging that the
latter's rate for the transportation of
coal from the anthracite field to New
England, Nav York, Maryland and
the District of Columbia are unrea-
sonable and unjust. The action was
filed with the interstate commerce
commission on November s. The
commission Immediately sent Motif
cations of the complaint to the rail
road companies named as defendants
as follows: Philadelphia & Reading,
Lehigh Valley, Delaware, Lackawan-

A USELESS SERMON.

Over in Colorado not many days
since, a man died, and when his
friends came to bury him they found
a sermon the man had written and
laid away to be used on this occasion.
1t wasn't a long sermon. Indeed, it
sage from the dead, but it told what
the man believed to be the truths.
The manuscript dealt mainly with re-
ligion. and the writer expressed the
belief that all religions were frauds:
that heaven was a myth. and the
here after an idle dream.
So the mans hand was stretched
out from beyond te grave to tear at
the fabric of Christianity. What
good did he accomplish? He offered
no substitute for the work he sought
to destroy He did not tell his
friends that the belief he entertained
robbed death of its sting and took
from the grave its victory Wha. was
his object. after a lifelong silence,
in trying to create doubts in the
minds of his friends as to the life
beyond the veil?
1t may be true that death ends all:
it may De true that the Christ was
fraud, and his promise of place
where the wicked cease from trub-
ling and the weary are at rest were
false. Perhaps there is no house
where there are many mansions
no life everlasting But why should
the faith Of those who have faith in
such things be destroyed
Is any man harmed by the fact
that his neighbor believes in here,
after? Is the burden Of lie made
lighter by the belief that when the
coffin is lowered, W. en- the grave is
filed, when the mo'!rners have with
drawn from the burial place, there
will never be a joyful reunion be
tween the loved one ana those who
are left behind

IN enforce the law"
Mr.. Gibbs whistled a bar of Just
One Girl in order to get his emotions
well in hand.
You might talk sense out of defer
ence to the company" he suggested as
mildly as possible.
Il shall treat gamblers exactly as 1
shall treat any other class of citizens;
where the law restraints them, they
shall be restrained where the law pro-
tects them, they shall be protected"
You talk like a preacher. Lyn-or
like woman. A little. gentle. win
some maid who never heard of politics!
Now let S go into the thing sensibly."
AS they talked the rain became heav-
Ter, and when Bluffton should have
lain before them like a picture, there
was only a darker shadow upon the
earth. Out of it came toward them a
| livery hack, which disgorged a sani-
tary officer and an umbrella.
Hello, Barnaby! How do you do,
Mr.. Vaughn? We've place inside the
carriage for you if Mr.. Gibbs will let
me ride with him. DIR. Brisk is in
| there for-well. the truth is" he said,
looking Vaughn brsvely in the face,
I'VE have been sent after you. The
board of health think you ought to be
cuarantined-"
"Oh, say, nowl" sputtered Gibbs, "thi
is a political trick. Canter wants
Vaughn out of the way. Wen never
stand for such nonsense!"
Pm under orders, and Mr.. Vaughn
will be comfortable. The neighbors
burned the old pesthouse night before
last, and the board can't buy land for
another anywhere near town, so they
bought the Rosy Belle, and are fixing
her up to the queens taste. They've
hired old Uncle Mighty to do the
cooking for you. She'll be anchored
at the waterworks park landing, and
| there'll be a guard on shore. You'll
be comfortable, all right, Mr. Vaughn,
even if you have to stay several days.
viii you get in with DR.. Brisk, and
we'll hurry under shelter?"
The Rosy Belle as a gay little pleas
ure steamer had been dear to the
young hearts of Button for many
summers. Vaughn smiled cynically
as he looked about the cheerful cabin,
for it was on the Rosy Belle a year
ago that he had first made love to Ma
bel Rothven, and had received the half
promise which she had so definitely
withdrawn a few nights since.
There were books on the Rosy Belle,
much interesting activity upon the riv-
er, and the absorbing interest of the
campaign as unfolded to him by the
newspapers and the daily letters of
Barnaby Gibbs. AS the days went
by he noted that though his newspa-
pers found the quarantine an inexhaus-
tible mine of campaign material the
opposition press concentrated all it's
force upon his managers, accusing
| them of prostituting his welfare and
honor for their own ends, and commit
ting him to an administration which
would ruin both himself and the city
And there were times when Lyndall
Vaughn was inclined to agree with
this opinion.
There was a mystery in the fact
that he could not reach his friends in
any way, being forbidden to send let
tiers. and unable to secure the delivery

He did not know that Mabel Roth

est in politics. Not only did she read
the papers, but she got all the infor-
nation she could out of her brother in

tary of Vaughn's campaign commit

The Bennington was hurrying down

ing dangerous for boats of her size,
yet a half-hour after leaving Camel
burg she seemed to be straining slowly
toward the Kentucky shore, at a point,
too, where there was not even pile
of freight to justify her in stopping.
Vaughn leaned over the guards in
half-hearted curiosity. The lower deck
was deserted, but from some unseen
point the voice of the mate called
out:
step along there will you? Lively"
and a negro shambled weakly across
the stage to the top of the muddy
bank. Ee was wrapped in a gray
blanket and carried a laden basket
The wind and the rain bounced furi-
ously upon him, and he moved for
ward uncertainty like one in trouble
or pain. Vaughn was puzzled and ask
ed an explanation of the captain.
well, Mr. Vaughn, I'll tell you, but
you will see that it mustn't go further

ing the lonely figure on the desolate
shore.
Toward evening the wind was so
high that the Bennington tiled up
for the night. When morning came
the rain abated somewhat and there
were fleeting moments when the sun
glorified the wreck-strewn waters and
desolated shores. but the wind contin-
ued to rise and the Bennington to
strain every nerve in her eagerness to
reach the safe harbor of Green River.

she was compelled to touch, another
