rising.

He pointed to the upper story Of the

the window. She held out younger

it is absolutely necessary that railroad
watches keep good time, and the mat

been systematized-
''The fremen, engineers, conductors,

Of the roads in this country have or
ders to have their watches compared

months. On some roads nearly al of
the employees are supposed Ito go
through this same routine.
tsWhen a watch is bought by any Of
these men, it must be passed upon By,
the jeweler who has been appointed In
spector for the road that the purchaser
serves. It must be a good watch, cost
ing about $50 for the works alone, for
the rattle and jolt Of train would Sc

his watch and card to the inspector,

tie ashamed Of his curt silence at the
tenors refusal to accept his invitation.
Falmouth promised to come down soon
and take tea at Hope House and parted
with Gordon under the impression that
the afternoons experience had brought
them some closer together.
How little any one Of US reckons On
the changes that come into all our plans
by the accidents Of life, and yet how
many great events owe their greatness
to apparent trifes that are called aeci-
dents for want Of better name
Gordon had gone up to see David
Barton that same evening. Barton had
greeted him cheerfully and again as
tonished him by his appearance. They
had fingered long over their evening
talk, and Gordon had interested Barton
tremendously in his account Of the
meeting with Tommy Randall.
"You scored on him." Barton chuc-
kled.
'I don't know. he is deep in certain
directions. But will know the secret
Of his hold. In fact, I think I have it
already. He will never best me-" Cor
don answered firmly, but modestly.
They sat on, postponing bedtime until
the clocks struck y.
''Time to put the cough on the shelf" !"
Barton said He had not had spell all
the evening, to Gordon's relief.
Gordon went into his room, which
had windows commanding a view Of
the lower part Of the city.
He came back instantly and called
to Barton:
"Come here! Look! Isn't that
fire over near the end of Bowen street,
Waterside district?''
Fright you are!' Barton exclaimed
quickly. The Moss street cars Will

we'll known in musical circles as q
growing singer at fashionable recep-
tons. The soprano, young woman Of
some beauty, and the alto, a little older,
but q woman Of real strength Of ex-
preston, drew closer together as the
miscellaneous crowd Of Bowen street
pressed nearer and the real horror Of
the place began to make itself felt.
The gentleman who sang bass was
with John Gordon and was looking at
him with a look Of intense indignation,
as if he were the real cause Of bringing
the party into the place.
"Do you wish to 60 back? You can
if you wish," Falmouth said quietly.
NO, no; but this is horrible. 1t is
past all belief. Is 1t safe for the ladies'!
VIII they be able"-
Perfectly safe, ladies'" John Gordon
spoke with a touch Of grimness. "Peo-

Safe enough, I assure you"
He led the way promptly, asking the
people to give them room. How the
quartet ever lived to get up that stair
case where Mr.. Marsh nearly tainted
no one can tell except themselves. The
soprano said afterward that it was a
miracle that any Of them ever came
out Of it alive. And her indignation at
the Rev. Paul Falmouth was so deep
that nothing but financial considera-
tons could induce her to sing in the
Rev. Falmouth's church again.
The corridor in front Of Mrs. Caylors
was packed almost solid with un-
washed humanity, although everybody
was dressed In the best garments he
possessed. Tommy Randall was On

seouious and even seemingly fawning
to the Rev. Paul Falmouth. He spoke
good naturedly to Gordon and gave
everybody the impression that the
whole arrangement was Of bis own
planning. And in fact that night when
Gordon ran over all the incidents OF
that remarkable day he almost smiled
to think that Tommy Randall had
scored a triumph with Louie's funeral
as the background.

and the minister stood in the doorway

WILL GET RIFLES
Company A. to Go TO Encamp-
ment with Kraj-JorgensenS,
UNIFORMS ARE HERE
Company Is Thoroughly Or
gained for Effective Work

1.-The colonel of our regiment has re-
ceived assurances from headquarters. =
said Captain Koeneke last night, that
there will be an encampment of the Kan
sas National Guard at Fort Riley this fall
and that the new Krag-Jorgensen rifles
will be sent here in time for company A
to have them at the encampment."
For some time it has been rather uncer-
tain whether there would be a state en-
campment this fall and whether all the
soldiers of the two regiments OF the h. n.
G. would be allowed to attend. 1t was
the opinion OF many that the new law
passed at the last session of congress re-
quired the holding of a state encampment
once each year The officers of the K. N.
G. have been working hard for an en-
campment at Fort Riley this fall and are
now certain that it will be held. 1t is
also certain now that the new rifles will
be issued to the militismen in time for
the fall maneuvers.
Last evening at drill Captain Koeneke
of Company A, Second regiment, announc-
ed the appointment of a first sergeant,
two duty sergesnts and corporal TO fill
the vacancies caused by the expiration of
the terms of enlistment of these officers.
Duty Sergeant VIM. H. Isley was promot-
ed to the rank of first sergeant and Cor
porals Chas. E. Barrackman and Chas. L.
Dunn were advanced to the rank of duty
sergeants. Private Steven G. Meade was
made a corporal The officers whose term
of enlistment had expired and who did
not reenlist were First Sergeant John r.
Bailey, Duty Sergeants ]. NJ. Sweet and
Robert c. Edgar and Corporal Fred j..
Prosser. A sergeant and three more cor
porals will be appointed soon and the boys
are studying the tactics and drill a little
harder and keeping their uniforms little
brighter in hopes that some Of these pro-
motions will come their way.
At drill last night all of the men were
in the best of spirits. New khaki uni
forms were issued to the company and in
the cool suits they enjoyed the drilling.
All were pleased over the news that they
were to attend the encampment at Fort
Riley this fall and that they would re-
ceive the new rifles before that time. New
recruits are being taken into company A
every drill night and the company is gain
ing in popularity among the best young
men of the city.

HELP THE SHIPPERS
Missouri Pacific Does Away
with Delay In Kansas City,
ON ACCOUNT OF FLOODS
This Will Relieve Car Famine
In Wheat Section.

The Missouri Pacific is trying TO relieve
by refusing to haul grain to Kansas City
or through that point. The company also
refuses to turn its cars over to foreign
lines The Kansas City yards were al
most washed away by the flood and the
damage has not been repaired enough
ITO handle the cars which usually are sent
snto that city. The delays III transit, and
unloading in Kansas City owing TO the
door yards is causing the railroads all
sorts of trouble and they have finally
decided not TO handle the grain for that
point
The Missouri Pacific hopes TO relieve
Hhe car famine in this section by this
faction. The cars Will be rushed through
To other markets where there is no trou-
Die on account of flood damage and where
ulle cars may be unloaded within few
hours of their arrival and then started
back 10 the wheat fields.
a well known Missouri Pacific official
stated that there is a slight call for
cars that they were unable to furnish
just when the shipper wanted them on &C
count of the tie-up at Kansas City but
under the new order they hoped TO be
able TO send cars TO the different points
as fast as ordered.
The car famine this year has given the
railroad men plenty To do. Every road
profited by the experience Of last year
when it seemed almost impossible to get
q car into this section, placed orders for
new cars. of larger capacity and they
also gave Instructions 70 keep all cars
of foreign lines as much as possible so
that they could be used on their own.
The roads began this work weeks ago but
the movement Of grain started as soon as
threshing began. New engines have been
sent into the western territory and the
roads claim that they can handle the
business offered them if they can get
the cars and keep them moving all Of
the time without having a delay and
blockade as there is at present in Kansas
City
The Missouri Pacific will handle grain
sor all the points beyond Kansas City
where it is not necessary 10 go through
the Missouri river town to reach the
mills.
While the business here at present is
larger than ever before, the wheat traf-
fic being added to the increased traffic
in all lines or merchandise none of the
roads have experienced much trouble in
handling their trains through this city.
The increase in freight business has been
twenty per cent within the last year
and the rush of grain shipments has
made men in the operating departments
scratch their heads with the perpleXing
problems Of sending loaded cars east with
grain and loading them with merchandise
without delay instead of returning them
empty.
The Missouri Pacific has started the ac-
fion in an effort to relieve the cry for
cars in this section by doing away with
the blockade at Kansas City and keep
ing heavy shipments away from flooded
districts.
