She nodded slowly. '1 know. But
the motive isn't altogether avarice."
'What else could It be?''
She defined it In one word:
sPique."
Griswold did not pretend to mis-
understand.

involves woman as well as a man;
from something which I learned to-
day I am inclined to doubt the wom-

she knows anything about it,"
But at this point Charlotte the
compassionate became Miss Farnham
the austere.
You may be very sure she knows
all about it. If she ever sets up a
crest-and even that won't be beyond
her-the motto for it will be Rule or
Ruin"

evil genius urged him to defend

he ventured.
The tone was placable enough, as it
was meant to be. but Charlotte was
only woman. and Griswold had
been very much in evidence with
Miss Grierson of late, on the high
swung trap and in the Grierson
steam-launch. So she said, rather
coldly: 81 may seem uncharitable to
you. and I am sorry said it. But
we are wandering. You say you
know the remedy for your trouble
and Ned's. What is it?''
Now Griswold was not any drawer

ing a woman piqued, but since she
had taken him unawares, he must
needs lose his head and say: ''It is

woman whom you don't like

avowal with toss of the superb

Certainly not: to yourself"
And with that she turned away to
say good night to the others. That
was all, save that she did not give
her hand to Griswold at parting.

How can you ask Is 1t so light
thing TO help ever so little to set
snare for the poor fellow!"
Griswold's laugh was almost harsh
81 shouldn't waste any sympathy on
him if were you. He is a hardened
criminal, by his own admission to
you"
s.No, he was not that" she said,
quickly. 81 understood him better
than that-better than I have made
you understand him. He was not a
hardened criminal"
Griswold's blood, which had been
slowly turning to ice in his veins, be-
gan to thaw out again at that.
'.Then you don't condemn him ut
terly? You are willing to admit that
his own conscience may have acquit-
ted him?"
81 am very sure that it did; CT.
at least. am sure that his own
point of view was so obscured by
what he had suffered that he could
not rightly see the guilt of the thing
he had DONE"
"But you saw the guilt of it?''
"How could I help seeing it?"
''True. There is no excuse for
him."
SCI shouldn't say that. There may
be many excuses for him."
But no justification?" He tried
hard to make the saying of it an
impersonal abstraction, succeeding
so well that she did not remark the
note of despairing eagerness.
Certainly not. Nothing could jus

womanly pity had in it the quality
of mercy. It went out toward the
lawbreaker as the divine compassion
enfolds even the impenitent sinner.
But her conscience arraigned and
condemned him.
He bowed his head and went dumb
before the woman who had judged
him; but when he would have
changed the subject he found it
mightier than his will to break away
from it.
"Your verdict is doubtless that of
the world" he said. t'And from

CHAPTER XIV.

In after time Griswold could never
satisfactorily account for the i'm
pulse which sent him to wander aim
lessly through the deserted streets
of the town after leaving DR.. Farm
hams and parting from the other
dinner guests.
But this night the thought of Mrs.
Holcomb's and the quiet room was
curiously repugnant, and so he
roamed, like any vagrant, far and
wide, drifting at length to the rail-
way crossing and beyond, and COM
ing to some sense of the actualities
only when he found himself in the
neighborhood of the iron works.
At this he would have turned back
Since the closing of the works the
plant had been guarded nightly;
first by the inner circle of deputies,
and later by an outer Gordon of the
striking workmen. This outer guard
had latterly been maintained in re-
iefs and made continuous, ostensibly
to show the good will of the strik-
ers and their readiness to protect
the property; but really, as Girls
void knew, to forestal1 any move on
the part of himself and Raymer to

imported labor.
It was a chance collision with this
outer guard that brought Griswold
alive to the actualities. Two men
stepped out of the shadow of tree
and halted him. But at the word
one of them recognized him.
'@Oh. it's you, Mr.. Griswold. Beg
pardon, sir. but you see we have to
be sort o. careful"
Griswold's smile was openly cyni-
cal "Your carefulness is good
bit overdue, Martin. It should have
begun before you made this sense
less strike"
Now the man Martin was in some
sort leader among the discomfort
ed workmen. and he asked nothing
better than a chance to argue the
point with one of the bosses.
there's two sides to that, Mr..
Griswold, and you hain't seen but
one. You don't know what it means
to earn your bread from day to day
like we do"
"Don't I?'' said Griswold. smiling
again. this time without the Gym
icism. Perhaps I don't. and again.
perhaps I do. You're an older man
than I am, Martin, but I'll venture to
say that I've gone lacking more
meals in a year than you have In
your whole lifetime"
The man was silenced for a mo-
ment, but presently found tongue
again
Then what makes you SO tarna-
ton hard on us fellows?" he de-
manded. IF you've known what a
bare cupboard means for yourself.
1 sh'd think you could put yourself

II don't know about that, Mr..
Griswold."
"About what?~
"About the plant bein' yours and

lows that helped earn the money to
build it ought to have some little

SOME REFLECTIONS.
On the City Council Making Changes
in Numbered Streets.

The city fathers have stirred up an
other series of street talk, favorable
and u%nfavorable comment by the
change of the numbered streets. Many
do not favor the avenue and street
names in place of the north and south
terms, because of the confusion it will
cause in branding the change in the
minds of the public. Many who do
not favor the change never will allow
themselves to say Second avenue, but
will work against. what appeared to
the aldermen a timely and proper step.
They will make it their business to say
street where avenue should be. Others
are Objectionable to the adoption of a
municipal system of naming streets,
because it will cause them to think,
and exercise their brain beyond the
narrow limit. Others will never allow
themselves to be modern or progress
sive, but want to travel in the trodden
path.
But laying aside the objections and
taking up the advantages of this sys-
TEN of street naming, a few arguments
will show the advantages to be derived
by the merchants, and in fact everyone
who has anything to do with hunting
up streets and houses.
The principal reason why the alder.
men advocated this change was be.
cause of continual confusion which
arose from failure to indicate the north.
ern or southern portion of a street. To
many it was all Second or Third street
and with a number and no designation
of direction, it meant a search of the
south, and if failure was met, a north
ern search must be made. Then if no
number was given, but merely Second
street, it was still more confusing. But
with Second street and Second venue
there can be no mistake. Not alone
does it save trouble but time as well
The unnecessary insertion of north
and south being disposed of, greatly
facilitates the matter of directing and
being directed.
Second venue is much more pleas
ing to the ear than North Second
street, and it looks better upon a letter
or parcel; and Second street applies
in the same manner, leaving off the
superfuous South"
Now since the fathers of the city
have decided that that change was
needed and is beneficial in more ways
than one, it is the best policy to adopt
say street when avenue" is meant

NO AMBULANCE THERE.
Alleged Mismanaeement of Victim of
the Siam Wreck.

After having been crushed in the
impact of the i'll lated No. 7, the Santa
Fe overland, which ran into a switch
at Siam, Cal, and after having waited
in his mangled condition while lying
in a baggage car attached to the west
bound overland, he had traversed the
distance to Los Angeles, a journey OF
246 miles, Fireman Arkill was obliged
to remain in the trunk car, in the Los
Angeles yards for exactly one hour
and five minutes before a conveyance
arrived to convey him to the hospital.
At least, this is the story as told to the
San Bernaroino Sun by employees of
the Santa Fe.
This most d%eplorable feature of the
accident was related, says the Sun, by
a friend of the injured man, who &C
companied him from Needles to Los
Angeles, and who was here on his
way home. He stated that he was in
the car with Arkill for the greater part
of he trip and until after a rather
slow run the train reached Los An,
geles. There was no conveyance to
receive the wounded man. Whose fault
it was could not be ascertained. The
sufferer was obliged TO lie in the cold
baggage car for over an hour before
the hospital ambulance arrived. No. 7,
which was fourteen hours late, arrived
in Los Angeles about s o'clock. so that
the wait was made in the first chilly
hours of the night.

A COMPARISON.
In Money and Food Value.

Coffee had been used in our family
for years, and we all drank it except
husband. who gave it up some ear
ago because it injured his health"
writes a lady from Granville, Ohio.
Last year we spent the summer in
the northern woods. Among our table
supplies, unknown to my husband. |
had taken along several packages of
Postum Food Coffee, but it was stored
away and forgotten for weeks, during
which time we used coffee.
One day my husband said: 4 wish
it were possible to get some Postum.
| would like to try it. Two hours lat
er, at dinner, / served him a cup,
brewed according to the directions on
package. His surprise was complete;
the taste pleased him and he drank a
second cup. From that hour we con
tinued to use Postum with gratifying
satisfaction, and not another cup of
coffee has ever come to our table.
"My husband found that it did not
produce the distress that forced him
to coffee and that it strength
ened his nerves and stopped all his
stomach trouble. Its effect on me was
no less gratifying; though | had drunk
coffee but sparingly, | had suffered
considerably from it. 1t d~isordered
my nerves and disturbed my liver.
Postum corrected these evils and
proved a sedative and most whole
some food.
I'VE were both interested in the
comparative cost of coffee and Post
um. We had always paid 80 cents
a pound for coffee. A large package
of Postum costs % cents and weighs
one pound and a quarter. Though we
drank Postum more freely and fire.
quently than We had coffee, we found
that the large size package of Postum
lasted as lone as two pounds of cof-
fee, a difference of As cents in favor
of Postum. In a year this saving of
money was considerable, and this fact
recommends Postum to all people who
believe in economy.
Even a person prejudiced in favor
of coffee would admit that Postum
properly brewed is as pleasant to the
palate as the best coffee. | know that
some people have been dissatisfied
with Postum because they did not
make it properly.
Another advantage of Postum that
makes it vastly superior to coffee for
family use is that it can be given free
ly to children, being a real food and
not a stimulant like coffee, 1t will not
harm the most delicate child nor ere
ate a habit which leads only too easily
TO indulgence in stimulants of a
stronger nature.
i believe that if everyone knew
that Postum is so much cheaper than
coHee n so much better for ones
health they would use II instead OF a
drink which, being a stimulant entire
ly without food value, is so very harm.

NEW KIND OF FUEL.
Compressed Gas May Be Used for Lo-
comotives.


The American heat, light and power
company of New York city, which con
trolls the Johnston patents and process
for manufacturing gas from crude oil
promises immediate developments in
railroad work in the near future. The
company maintains that in a tank,
which can be readily accommodated
within the usual locomotive tender di-
mansions, enough fuel gas of a fixed,
permanent quality can be compressed
and stored to run one of the largest
types of freight or passenger locomo-
tives at continuous high speed for ten
or more hours. 1t is further promised
that fuel of this character can be sup
piled at onethird the cost of coal con
sumption in the present practice. Tests
of a practical nature are very soon to
be made and will no doubt be watched
with considerable interest.
