games III the smoker.
King took a fatherly interest in the
commuters under his charge and noted
with some surprise the persistence
with which Amy kept off ilis train. But
1t is not for train conductor to regu-
late the love affairs Of his passengers.
1t was the ,lddle Of the sixth week,
when, to his surprise. ne saw Amy
standing Oh the Eossland platform as
the train pulled in. For the first time
since the estrangement she had missed
Tie earlier train and had to choose be-
tween the $50, Which would get her to
the Office on time. and the 9:16.
You're quite stranger he said as
he punched her ticket, but she said
nothing.
He hurried through the train back to
tic smoker Miss Prestea is On 1as

The latter went red. then white, and
half rose from his seat. Then he ap
neared to change his mind. II suppose
she has right to ride on this train" he
said shortly as lie sank back into his
seat and King passed, shaking h.s
head.
Try as he would he could not get the

mind When the engine whistled Car.

French started again to rise from his
seat. AID King hurried on. To his dis
NAV, lie found that Freddie Smith was
sitting next to Amy Preston. and there
was no seat near 10y. He glanced back
and could see French making his way
through the car ahead. He touched
Freddie on the shoulder will you

he said I'D like to speak to you mo-

What is it," he asked as they stood
at the door.
King grasped him by the arm, SO that
he could see French sitting beside Amy.

Seven minutes later King stood at
the gate and watched his charges flock
out OF the ferry. Almost the last OF
the trainload came French and Amy

than year Amy Preston had taken
the 500 train from RosSland She was
stenographer in tie law Offices Of
Bingham, WorthinGton & Hatch, and
the $50 landed her at her desk ten
minutes before 10. Every morning
harris French caught the $40 from
Chatham, which enabled him to reach
his Office in the brokerage firm of Av-
cry, Ellis & Co. at five minutes before
10. incidentally it may be mentioned
that the S:42 from Chatham was the
$50 from Rossland.
French was Il member of the Ross
land Progressive Euchre club because
Amy Preston was also a member
After that they occupied the same
seat. George King. who was the
conductor Oh the train. had grown SO
used to seeing the two together that he
was surprised to see French board the
train one morning ard make direct for
the smoker aren't you going back,
M Freuell?" he asked as he punched
his ticket.
French shcok his head savagely.
"No; I'm going to stay here When
Amy Preston did not board the train
at Rossland. King understood that
there lad been a kink in the course ef

There had been q slight panic on the

KNEW WHAT HE WOULD 90,

Law Student Shows Wisdom in An
sWer to Question.
That the next best thing to Knowing
the law is knowing where to find it
was illustrated once when Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin of the Yale Law
School, in an examination on corpora
tons, asked his class question which
was extremely difficult. A certain
complex state of facts was given, and
the question ended with "A client
comes to you and states the above
case. What would you advise him to

The best answer handed in was: Il
would advise him to come around at
- o'clock the next morning In the
meantime l would look 1t up"

legislature WIN Be Asked to pass
More Stringent Measures.


1t is astonishing the amount of
whiskey which was sent this Christ
mas to the-various towns In this coun-
ty from covington, KY, by express c.
o. d. One nearby town alone
received over $50 packages of this sort.
The business is rapidly increasing and
has assumed alarming proportions.
Frdm'the amount shipped in this way
1t would seem that every home in the
county had its Christmas jug but, as
there are many families who do not
use it some homes must have had two
or three jugs.
Other counties it seems have been
treated in similar way. A dispatch
sent out from Morgantown day or SO
before Christmas says
1.-TWO whiskey firms have done what
they could to make Christmas day a
day long to be remembered by their
customers in Morgantown. Five hun
dreh gallons came from one Kentucky
firm and 400 from another concern in
Covington. Firms had agents here
and they reaped rich harvest, as
there are nosaloons in town. The ex-
pressmen are helpless and will not be
able to deliver the consignments on
time"
There are state laws on this subject,
preventing shipments of this charac-
ter and the method of sales is clearly
in violation of the license laws. The
matter should be looked into carefully,
and, II necessary, the next legislature
should pass additional laws to prohibit
this sort Of illegal liquor trafic. The
license system does not contemplate
any thing of this,sort and it is hard
ship against those who pay license TO
conduct this sort of business. The sa.
loon keeper SO long as the state grants
him license is entitled to protection
by thestate. Besides, this wholesale
Jug trade is dangerously demoraltzing
and menace to the people of our
county. An inducement, perhaps, is
made in the low prices but the awful
grade OF stuff is poisonous. The man.
ner of sending 1t out, however, is such
that the firms which do it are not re-
sponsible to their patrons and as a con-
sequence they do not aim to send
them a good quality.

SHROUDED
In Mystery Is Origin Of Adamston
Fire.
Unknown Man Acts suspleiously
in Matter.

A my stery surrounds the burning of
the Mrs. Mary Banks house at
Adamston last Tuesday night. 1t
appears that the fire was not caused
from gas from the Mountain State
Gas Company's lines as at first re-
ported. A half hour before the fire
was discovered an unknown man was
seen entering the house and when the
fire was discovered one OF the trainmen
in the yards there on his way to the
scene met a man with his hat pulled
down over his face. The trainman
asked the fellow to go back with him
to the fire and help to put it out but
the stranger uttered not word but
hurried onward.
ME- Lightuer left the house the
morning before to go to the tin plate
mills, where he is night Waterman.
He says that he turned the fires all
of as well as the lights and that there
was therefore no gas burning in the
house.
From this state of facts it would
seem that the house was set afire by
an unknown tire-bug and not by
natural gas. There is no idea as to
who the fellow is who did this
malicious deed.

SET ATTIRE
Vas Gas in Mountain State Com
pany's Line.
Track of Two Men Discovered at
the Scene.


Between IL and / O'Clock Christmas
morning the Mountain State Gas
company's system experienced anoth.
er fire. 1t was at the same point.
where the explosion occurred on the
stealey farm Monday night, after
which the reducing valve and reeula-
lator burned.
Word reached William Harrington of
the field force about LIS O'Clock and
he and some of the. hands went i'm
mediately to the scene to ascertain
the trouble and to make repairs
When he found out what the trouble
was he summoned more help and
went to work in earnest to get :the
system in operation again.
The break in the line had been re.
paired and temporary connection
made, but at that point some gas was
escaping but not of sufficient quantity
to do any harm,
They noticed tracks leading to and
from the fire as If two men had been
there and set it aire, Their suspic-
ions were aroused and the company's
officials are inclined to believe that 1t
was set atire but fail to understand
why any one should be- so malicious.
Their suspicious are strengthened by
the fact that the street light at the
Bacchus bakery 1000 feet distant was
the nearest light and had it caught
from that an explosion sufficient to
tear up all the country 10 that section
would have ensued. This, however,
was not thecas
/ The break was repaired by IL o'clock
but not until there had been consider
able inconvenience, 1t was repaired,
however, with all dispatch possible.
The company received Christmas
afternoon 800 pounds of steel and iron
by express from Pittsburg, consisting
of new reducing valve and appliances
and in a day or so permanent con-
nection to.the well willsbecompleted.
The earnest efforts the company has
made to overcome the trouble and put
a stop to the Inconvenience and dis
comfort of the company's patrons are
highly commendable.
