A PRIVATE TUNNEL.
One Fourteen Miles Bong for Use OF
Chicago Business Houses.


From the American Architect.
1t appears that an interesting work
has been going on in Chicago for sew
eral years without the knowledge of
the public, in the excavation of tun-
mel fourteen miles long under the bust
ness district of the city. This TUNED
is business undertaking simply, and
is to contain railway for the trans
portation of freight among the great
mercantile houses and between them
and the freight stations of the forty
two railways which enter Chicago, be-
sides furnishing accommodation for
telephone wires and possibly wires of
other kinds. 1t is almost incredible
that tunnel of this length, varying
in width from to 10 feet and in hight
from s to IA feet. could have been con-
structed under the most crowded part
of a great city without the knowledge
even of the newspaper reporters, but
the tunnel is far below the surface, the
depth varying from 81 to 65 feet, so that
it was unnecessary to make temporary
roadWays over it, and the excavated
material has been taken out at night
through shafts opening in private
front. The ground under Chicago is a
soft clay which. was easily excavated,
but it has been necessary to line it ev-
erywhere with concrete.
y considerable portion of the tunnel
is already in use, and many business
houses have shafts opening into it,
equipped with elevators, by means of
which freight packages, brought by
cars running on the tracks laid in the
tunnel are hoisted TO the warerooms.
Although an underground freight rail-
way of this kind seems an expensive
substitute for trucks and horses, it is.
quite possible it may promote economy.
as well as convenience, lin handling and
transferring merchandise. Every one
must see that the maintenance of a
stable full of horses and wagons, and OF.
multitude of grooals and drivers, is
AN important item in atife' cost of carry
ing on business, especially when, as is
often the case, the wagons are driven
hall the time empty or with only one
small package in them; and System
by which goods arriving by rail could
| be at once delivered at their destina-
ton, with the minimum of handling,
while those shipped could be billed
through from the shipping clerks desk,
would be of immense advantage to-
merchants, as we'll as to the public.

signed HOLSTERS name to it.
He came back presently and began
to rally her in his teasing way.
"Well, anyway I made a big deal
for you while you were out" she
said.
'And I owe you a commission, I
suppose" he returned gallantly.
well what is it?"
A trifie peaked she showed the
message received to him.
"I answered it," she said proudly.
"You did?" he said. "And what
did you say?"-still chatting.
"Oh, I said to sell all they could"
she said proudly, tapping the desk
with a letter opener.
He glanced at her smiling, then
thoughtfully.
Joking aside, Miss Strang, did you
answer the MESSAGE?
"Certainly," she replied. "Papa al
ways told us that it was easy enough
to buy, but the trick was to sell, and
the boy said he had to have an an
swer right away, so l just thought I
would clinch the deal. Is my hat on

But he was already out of the door
grabbing his hat on the run.
Funny" she thought. Presently
her father came in and she related
the circumstance to him, complain
ing at HOLSTERS abrupt exit. Je-
rome Strang turned fairly green as
he grasped the significance Of it all.
"Come. let's go to the board" was
all he said, and he hustled her to the
elevator and to the gallery of the
great mart of trade. The scene was
something fierce even to old MEM

discovered the sound sense and far
seeing vision of Jerome Strang.
With these uncomplimentary views
of each other and with mutual ap-
prehensions of boredom did Hollis
ter and Dorothy meet. The meeting
was a shock to both. Hollister be-
held the most graceful and piquant
vision he had ever beheld-a jaunty
little piece of femininity with all the
freshness of girlhood, and country
girIhood at that, and at the same
time all the budding promise of a
glorious womanhood; a figure beyond
criticism, surmounted by a face as
finely chiseled as that of a Greek
goddess. But the eyes were what riv-
eted his attention-the eyes and the
mouth. Her eyes were as black as
night and their depths were unfath-
omed, while the lips were cupid's
own-and over all and through all
was that sauciness or rather vitality
which always drives men crazy.
On her part she confronted the
most distinguished appearing gentle
man she had ever met. Tall, straight
and elegant of form, his clear cut
features and fresh complexion We're
admirably set off by the touch OF
gray in hair and mustache which,
while not suggesting age, gave pro-
nounced dignity and character to the
tout ensemble. He was atttred in the
height of fashion and carried him
self with the quiet ease of a gentle
man and man of the world.
The evening was revelation to
Dorothy-from the luxurious enjoy
ment of the box at the theater to
the perfect supper afterward. Also
did it contain a new sensation to
Hollister. The result was several
similar evenings. In fact Hollister
quite attached himself to the Strangs
and found it not bore at all to as
sist Jerome Strang to entertain his
fascinating daughter.
One evening-fatal evening,-he
suggested that Dorothy might be in
terested in the antics of the bulls and
bears, and it was arranged that her
father should bring her the next day
to his Office from whence he would
accompany them to the board and
explain it all to the young woman.
So on the following morning the girl
found herself in HOLSTERS private
office. Of a sudden Strang discovered
that he had forgotten to deliver a
message to a firm downstairs and
charged out with the assurance that
he would return in few moments.
A moment later Hollister was sum-
moned to the long distance phone
and Dorothy found herself in entire
possession of the Office. She seated
herself at HOLSTERS desk. A mes
senger boy came tearing in and
slammed down an open message.
want an answer right away" he
snorted.
She glanced at the message while
trying to frame sentence to con-
vey the idea that Hollister would be
back presently. 1t was open and she
could not fail to read the sententious
sentence: ''Will you sell 100000
bushels of May wheat?"
In an instant the oft-repeated AK
iom of her father regarding business
came to her: Its always easy to
buy goods; the trick is to sell them"
She would show Hollister that she
knew something of business. Any
way, had he not laughingly told her
that she was in charge during his
absence?
