was a stranger whose appearance was
calculated TO provoke interest. He was
tall and broad shouldered, and so much
of his face as was visible beneath the
gray sombrero was keen and resolute.
The man was clad In long frock coat

the bosom of his shirt five splendid
solitaire diamonds stood in stately per-
pendicularity. shining and glinting
with luxurious brilliancy that awed
every beholder. On the fingers other
jewels proclaimed the riches of their
wearer. while from pocket to pocket
of his waistcoat stretched watch
chain made of huge topazes.
This gorgeous individual stared about
him. seemingly oblivious of the impress

Company Cuts OF the Cheap
Tickets on Its Clay Street
Line.

Beetnning with this morning the sale
of tho socalled three cent tickets" (or
FIVE for ffteen cents) Of the Clay Street
line Will be discontinued, Tickets already
on hand, however. will be accepted as
fare on this line subject to the conditions
heretofore applying to these tickets.
The company IS of the the opinion that
there is no good reason why the people OF
church Hill, West Clay Street or Beach
should be provided with cheaper trans
nortation than people who live In Fulton.
on West Main Street, or around the
Hollywood loop l
And it has been found that the reduced
fare OF the Clay Street line results In an
uneven distribution OF the traffic Of the
company, milking It more difficult to
render a satisfactory service. People who
would naturally travel on other lines are
attracted to this line by Its cheap fare,
resulting in the oyercrowdlng OF the cars
Of this line, while some cars of other
lines are running comparatively empty.
'rhe company thinks that by making the
fares universal over the city. the best
