GOLDEN GATE TOURS.
UNDER THE PERSONALLY CONDUCTED
SYSTEM OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD.


SYSTEM OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD.
California and the Pacific Coast re-
sorts have become so popular in recent
years with the better class of winter
rest and pleasure seekers that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
decided to run two Golden Gate tours
this winter, one to include the famous
Mardi Gras spectacle at New Orleans.
On the going trip both tours will
travel by the Golden Gate Special,
one of the finest trains that crosses
the continent. One tour will return
by this train, while passengers by the
other and later tour, will use regular
trains returning. In California, pas
sengers will be entirely at their own
pleasure in the matter of itinerary.
Should a sufficiently large number of
passengers desire to join in taking an
itinerary suggested by the Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad Company, the services
of Tourist Agent and Chaperon will
be at their disposal.
The first tour will leave New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
and other points on Thursday, Janu-
airy 30, and will travel via Chicago,
Kansas City and Ell Paso to Los An
geles and San Diego, arriving at the
latter point February 2. An entire
month may be devoted to visiting
California resorts, the Golden Gate
Special leaving San Fransisco on the
return trip Tuesday, March 8, and re-
turning via Salt Lake City, Glenwood
Springs, Colorado Springs, and Den
yer. The rate for this tour will be
$500, covering all expenses of railroad
transportation, including side trips in
California, as well as the berth and
. meals on the Golden Gate Special 60
ing and returning. No hotel expenses
in California are included. Tickets
are good for return trip for nine
months, excepting that passengers
who do not return on the Special must
provide their own Pullman accommo
dations and meals oastbound.
Tour No. zwLI leave THURSDAY
February 10, by the Golden Cat
Special. Cincinnati, Montgomery, anC
Mobile will be visited en- route to New
Orleans, where the party will sta.
during the Madri Gras festivities
The train will be side-tracked TO
occupancy during the three days spen
in New Orleans. Stops will also b,
made at Beaumont, Texas; Houston
Texas; San Antonio and Ell Paso. Tn
train will arrive at San Diego, Febru
ary %. SO far as special train arrange
ments are concerned, this tour will b
completed at San Diego. Passenger
may dispose Of their time in Californi
as they see ft Should a suficier
number desire to take a suggeste
trip through California, the service
OF Tourist Agent and Chaperon wi
be placed at their disposal.
The rate for this tour will be $27i

for the entire trip, including side triE

When Margery entered her IA

A Knave of Conscience
BY FRANCIS LYNDE.

''No. and don care. The more
the better"
Jasper Grierson thought about il
for a moment. Then he made a
check-mark against the memoran'
dunn on the calendar pad.
"All right; go ahead, but you'll
have to keep tab yourself, and say
when. | can't be bothered keeping
the run of your society tea parties"
II don't want you 20. Don't be
late to dinner tonight. The Rod

When she was gone Jasper Grier-
son tilted back in the pivot-chair and
lighted a cigar. After a bit his re-
flections found voice.
"By jingl believe she thought
she was fooling mel But it's too
thin. suppose she does want to
make the women kowtow, but that
isn't all there is to it, by joyful.
All the sans, I'll hack Der to win.'
Accordingly, when Mr.. Edward
Raymer came out of the bankers of

there was a picture of great in
dustry to be builded upon the ex-
tension of credit promised by Jasper

the charm of her personality was
