hint in the matter of borrowing money.
Osborne was in the publishing bust
ness. a man of comfortable means and
a we'll regulated life. He had bought
several short stories from Haven be-
fore the latter had taken the cditorship
of the magazine and had expressed Il
hearty appreciation Of the young mans
ability
But Haven didn't wish to borrow
money of Osborne. In the deepest parts
of his mind he knew better. More SUI
perfcially, he was aware that such Il
proceeding would be Il bad introduction
to q business scheme of some magni-
tude which lie desired to propose to Os-
borne when ii should be thoroughly
worked up in his own intellect.
II he had not been so burdcned with
troubles the pcrfccting of this scheme
would have been. in Haven's opinion.
an easy matter: but he had worried so
much about his phantom salary and his
too real expenses that it had seemed
impossible for him to pull his mind to-
gcther. Moreover. he was anxious on
account Of the young lady already men
toned. She and her mother were liv-
ing upon Il small income, which from
certain causes was in danger of being
reduced. Haven opened every letter
from his sweetheart with fear and
trembling. thinking that it would give
him the news that the blow which
he was wholly unable to parry had
really fallen. There was no reason to
dread actual calamity: they would still
have enough to carry them along until
he should b" able to take the burden of
their needs upon his willing shoulders.
Still the prospect Of any sorrow for
IOttic Palmer was misery for Haven.
The young man was much embar-
raised when he was ushercd into Mr..
Osbornc's office, and he was perhaps
the worse for an empty stomach. The
publisher. Il Squarcly built. hale and
ruddy man of fifty years, sat by Il

1T was salary day, and Paul Haven
was waiting near the cashiers
window while some of the chief
men connected with the mechanic

were drawing their pay. Haven was

gratificd his young ambition when he
had obtained it, about six months be-
fore the date of this narrative.

The announcement of the resignation was made last week, and the additional information given that while MT. Col quhoun would retire from active labors he would probably be elevated to the presidency of the company, a position that would not require the executive work attached to the superintendency. Mir. Colquhoun will go to Scotland within few weeks and probably make that his future residence, returning to Clifton at such intervals as the inter- ests of the company may require.

Great Project.

New York, Feb. 2S.-From San
Francisco to st. Petersburg by rail in
twelve days. Around the world in
parIor cars, with no more of a water
voyage than a thirty mile transfer
across Behring Strait in enormous
steel lighters.
This is the trip promised within five
years, for there are in New York, Sc
attic, Denver and Washington capt.
alists, engineers and explorers who
have completed the preliminary work
and have arranged to start building
the Transmission railroad on April
Is. This line, which will be $50
miles in length, will open up one OF
the richest countries in the world, but
more interesting and spectacular than
that is the certainty of its making
what will be practically an all-rail
route to Asia.

1T would have sounded like a Jules

Mr.. Granger yesterday, but it pre-
sents no engineering difficulties; bu
way in New York. The plan as adopt
ed provides for a single track rOaC
from Hanna bay, inside of Cooks In
let, to Port Clarence on Behring
Strait, to connect on this side with
steamers of the TransaIaskan railway
running from Seattle and on the other
with steel ferries to make a direct
connection with the Transsiberian
railway
Feasible? Not only feasible but
practical and profitable. In 1907 one
can go from San Francisco to St
Petersburg or Paris, in twelve or thir
teen days; the old world and the new
will be brought together and great
mineral and agricultural lands will
be thrown open, and greater wealth
than one dreams of will be reaped by
the nation.
Our engineers have reported that
the streams to be bridged offer no diff
ficulties, and we set five years as the
limit OF time before the road will be
in active operation, but we hope, anG
rather expect, to cut ten months from
that estimate"
