The morning air rang with the shrill
cries Of the newsboys. Men bought a
paper, glanced at the headlines, and
understood the half incoherent words,
Banks doors closed! All bout Davis
de embez-ler!"
In the library Of an uptown resi-
dence, two men were standing by the
fire, talking in hurried tones. The
younger Of the two had just come in
and stood, hat in hand, ready to de-
part. The other shook his head as he
said: ITS no use, Malcolm. We
might have tracked the scoundrel II
the papers had kept out Of it. Now
our every action will be public prop
erty."
"Well," the young man replied, "the
outlook is rather discouraging, | ad-
nit, but we are not yet at the end OF
our resources. have wired Ross and
expect him on the 10:4O. II you ap-
prove, will go down and get list of
the missing bonds before he comes"
The father acquiesced, treasured for
the moment by the enthusiasm OF the
younger man, Malcolm went out, turn
ing to say as he ran down the steps, 81
would not leave the house to-day,
father. If we can stave it off day or
two, we may avert panic altogether"
Anson Allen went back into the
library. The events Of the past
twenty-four hours had almost un-
nerved him. He saw but one way to
retrieve his fortune, and that way
hardly acknowledged to himself. II he
could only be sure about Malcolm and
Mollie Payton. But then, there was
Eleanor. Since the day he took the
girl Of fifteen from her dead fathers
bedside, Eleanor Howard had been as
his own daughter, and her little for
tune grew under his able supervision.
Now that was gone, and he groaned in
misery
He was not aware of her presence
in the library until she touched his
shoulder; then, he looked up, resolved
to keep the truth from her a day or
two at least. But not So Eleanors
hand still rested on his shoulder, but
her eyes were taking in every word of
the staring headlines which had made
that mornings issue Of the Standard
q memorable one. In that swift read
Ing, everything stood revealed except
her share in tho disaster, and even
after her guardian told her that her
loss was even greater than his own,
she seemed unable to realize It's effect
upon anyone but Malcolm. |
Mr.. Allen carefully explained the SIT
lation-from the investing of all
The available assets in United States
securities, to the loss of those securi-
lies the night before. "And now, little
me" he resumed, there Is little we
IAN save from the wrecl; If there is
run on the bank. You must be pro-
1ided for, in any event, and to that
md I have transferred to you the
most valuable thing | possess. From
his morning, Wildfre is yours; and
when the crash comes, he will com
nand price which ought to insure
'ou a comfortable income"
Eleanor listened attentively, and
made a quick move as If to refuse the !

BY the hall table she fingered to leave
note, and then went out, ostensibly
to spend day and night with Mollie
Payton.
Eleanor never forgot that ride to
New York. Wildfre kept up pace
which would have delighted the book
makers. The girl wondered in a dazed
way how long she could hold out, but
she kept tight rein and spoke encour-
agingly to the mettlesome animal, and
after awhile the horse seemed to I'M
derstand and settled down to a steady
time-making gait.
Then Eleanor had time to think. In

Cow Bells.

Scarlet purple, orange light
Fades to palest green;
Farmhouse windows grow less bright
Where the glare has been.
Dusky lie the fields about,
And, family heard again,
Far-off, thro' the mist and dew,
Cow bells down the lane,
Tinkle, tinkle, clink-a-clink,
Cow bells down the lane.
Swallows cheep on circling wings;
Winds have chilly grown;
And the cricket shrller sings;
Trees look strange and lone,
Nearer, clearer, past the woods,
A silyery refrain,
Winding slowly up the HILL
Cow bells down the lane,
Tinkle, tinkle, cink-a-clink, ..o
Cow bells down the lane,
Bess and Brlndle, Snowflake Jet,
Breaths like new-mown hay,
Dewy noses, trickling wet,
BARNARD wend their way,
One by one, faint pearly stars
Watch the twilight's wane
And the put-up bars shut out
Cow bells down the lane,
Tinkle, tinkle, clink-a-clink,
Cow bells down the lane.

Alderman Trueman Of this city has
| received the following from Mr.. F, F.
Ingram. one Of the members Of the
Public Lighting Commission II Detroit.
Michigan.
Your favor Of the 18th enclosing a
clipping from the Journal and Courier
is received. The statement in the clip
ping referring to the cost of public arc
street lights in this city is not true.
: The cost of 1000 candle power arc
lights from the public plant in this city
, in 1897. the year referred to, was. cash
cost S64.l9, adding to this lost taxes on
the investment, interest on entire in
Nestment and depreciation, makes the
total cost $S9.42. The property being
owned by the city, pays no taxes. ex-
plains why to get the total cost We
add to the actual cost an amount equal
! to the taxes on the property were it
owned privately and taxed.
/ send You by this mail under other
cover our last annual report, 1902, re-
fer you to page 10. Last year cash
cost was $36.2S. add to same interest
on entire investment 4 per cent, $11.49,
depreciation 3 per cent. $3.50, lost taxes
on investment 1929 and the total cost
per 1000 candle power arc light is
shown to be $6O.65.
Each year, as is inferred in the clip
ping, a certain sum is charged off for
depreciation, this sum is added to the
cost of lamps and is included in above
cost, proporttoned as is lost taxes and
interest, the total amount to the num-
Der of lamps. Depreciation is computed
against the entire investment includ-
ing land which appreciates annually
instead of depreciates. Maintenance
cost (repairs, replacement, etc.) is in
cluded in cash cost, making the depre-
citation charge ample, or as claimed by
many, more than ample.
You will note considerable reduc-
ton in the cost of our lights since the
year referred to in the clipping. There
has been steady reduction in cost from
the inception of the plant, in addition
there has been a most notable improve
ment in the service
We were quite familiar with such
statements as I find in your clipping
in this city during the agitation for and

the public plant. The plant has since
justified it's existence by its work. No
one believes that the lighting commits
sioners go into their pockets to furnish
the funds to pay for street lights and
the citizens of Detroit know that they
are getting them and getting better
lights and better service in every way
than was ever known here before. The
cost to the taxpayer is ridiculously
small when compared to the cost he
was compelled to pay under private
ownership. Ohe last contract lighting
was at the rate of $3.50 per year,,
while the scandal incident to contract
lighting is entirely removed from our
political life by public ownership.
The Public Lighting Plant is a very
popular institution in our city. Even
such of our taxpayers as are opposed
to public ownership on principle, al
most without exception now favor pub
lie ownership of the lighting plant.
perhaps influenced to do so because of
better service and less cost.

TRUST MUST PAY.

New York Oct 2.-Following a long
Of engineers OF his de-
partment, Deputy Water Supply Com
missioner Van Iderstine OF Brooklyn
today charged the American Sugar Re-
dning Company with taking from the
city mains through unmerered pipes,
without the knowledge OF the authori-
ties, a vast quantity Of water during =
period of six years.
Commissioner Van Iderstine has sens
to the company a claim for s525.OO for
water alleged to have thus been taken
and never paid for. The water de-
partment officials say the amount OF
water used by the refineries has been
more than per cent of the total
Brooklyn supply, and that II may be-
found that the company really owes
something near 81 900 900.
