NEW ROUTE TO TlDEWATER.

The report that the Baltimore and
Ohio road is about to utilize the long
abandoned South Penn route in the
construction of new direct line from
Pittsburg to tidewater offers the hope
that the congestion of freight is at
last to be attacked with the purpose of
securing more than temporary relief.
Engineers state that by this means
the rail distance between Pittsburg
and Baltimore can be reduced to 800
miles, the shortest route to the sea.
1t will bring Pittsburg so miles near
er to tidewater, and in connection
with other cutoffs projected west of
this city will reduce the distance be-
tween Chicago and Baltimore by 80
miles. incidentally the completion of
the proposed line will open vast coal
area, containing, it is said, two billion
tons Of soft coal. 1t is suggested that
the plan has been forced by the rival
ry of the Wabash, which it is said to
be designed to thwart. AS a matter of
fact there will be plenty of traffic for
both systems. Both are required to
take care of the growing surplus Of
Pittbsurg freight. If as result of the
energy of the Wabash, Pittsburg is
to secure two new outlets instead of
one, so much the better. Something
of the kind will have to be done soon
er or later to meet the enormously in
creasing traffic originating in this dis
trict, and the conditions are already

in her face, he realized that to plead

the only part of it which her
bewildered brain clearly understood

its full import. He is only playing

All through that long night she
sat thinking and crying like a child
who finds itself suddenly alone in a
dark room. Towards morning she
became calmer. Her one desire in
her bitter humiliation was that Nigel
should never know that she really
cared for him. Whatever it cost her
she would send him from her, be
in earnest. She would meet and give
him his congo with smiling face, al
though her heart might break in
secret through all the long years
which would follow after.
She must not look i'll and tired, she
reflected; and so with a great effort
she dragged herself YEARLY from her
chair and went to her room to rest.
At II o'clock the next morning
Stella was ready and waiting in the
sitting room. She had never before
taken so much trouble with her toilet,
and it would have needed a keen OF
server to know that everything was
not going smoothly with her. 1t
certainly never struck Nigel when he
entered impetuously, Win a cheerful

The man looked hurt and sur
prised.
Il thought you cared for me-" he
said, a little reproachfully.
