To Parallel Line.

A special dispatch TO The Times from
Charleston, W. Va, says that corps Of
engineers representing the Pennsylvania
lines, is at work surveying a route for
railroad from Charleston to Sutton. W.
Va, preparatory to building a line to-
parallel the Charleston, CIendennin and
Sutton Railroad. which was recently pur-
chased by ex-senator Henry G. Davis. of
West Virginia, but who is now making
his home in Washington
The dispatch states that the Pennsyl-
vania Company intends building the line
from Charleston to Sutton. where it will
connect with a branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio road and is intended to block
MIR. Davis in his desire to open up that
part of West Virginia for the benefit Of
the Wabash. AS exclusively announced in
The Times some weeks ago, Mr.. Davis
Will build a line from otter a small
town near sutton. TO BaIington TO con-
meet with both the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Wabash
Both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio endeavored TO secure the c., c..
& S, when Mr.. Davis bought it. 1t was
the announced intention to use the road
to connect the Baltimore and Ohio with
the Chesapeake and Ohio. BY MIR. Davis
purchase, the scheme was frustrated and
now parallel line will be built This
will not compete in any great measure
with Mr.. Davis line, as his road Will be
extended through part of the State not
entered by either of the two other lines.
Before the Pennsylvania or Baltimore
and Ohio can complete the purposed
parallel line 10 the c. c. & 5. road Mr.
DAVIS Will have completed his connect
ing link with the Wabash and be fur

his coal and timber interests which are

benefit to the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Chesapeake and Ohio roads, and pro-
vide competition lines TO the shippers Of
that part of the State.

black with crows, so you can see for

when the gulls first appeared here
abouts and flew over the water look

made a catch. Then a crow would
swoop down from the tree and chase
the gull until it dropped the fish. Very
often the gull would get away, and the
crow would have to fly back hungry
They are wiser now, and not only do
they do their own fishing. but they

There was a rather pathetic group of
three among the passengers that at
tracted general interest. They were
father, mother and son, Germans of the
unobtrusive, frugal type, and appar-
entity we'll to do. The son was in the
last stage of tuberculosis. He had
been sent to Denver several months
home to die.
1t was clear that he had been sum-
moned east none too soon, yet nobody
expected a sudden change for the
worse. But in the early evening, half
an hour before the train reached
Cleveland, he gasped in the middle of
sentence, choked and fell forward
There was a rush of bright blood from
his lips, he sank back in his seat and
moment later was at the end of his
last journey.
Instantly the interest felt in the pa

formed into sympathy for the father
and mother. OF course. she was more
demOnstrative than he. Mother like
she had not yet given up hope, and her
subdued sobbing brought tears to the
eyes of nearly every one in the car.
The train hands got out the stretcher
which is carried on every Pullman car
for it was decided to put the corpse
off at Cleveland-and the passengers
crowded around the bereaved couple
to proffer their sympathy. One, a tall
handsome young woman, of the Gibson
girl type, tenderly passed her arm
about the mothers shoulders and
soothed her with the gentle nothings
that some women can make so effec-
tive.

After the train had resumed it's jour

feeling they had displayed. OF a diff

man, clad wholly in rather rusty black

brimmed SLOUGH hat of nondescript de-
sign, his feet were encased in congress

was guarded by a twisted chain at
least two feet long, as thick as a bed

golden links. He was still wiping the
tears from his eyes and swearing

himself solid with Uncle Samuel, be-
cause he had been accustomed to hold
Lucille on his Knee when she was a
mere Tot.
And, of course, that gave him right
to butt in on all Family Issues.
Uncle Samuel asked Horace what
Church he attended regularly. The
only thing that saved Horace was that
he happened to remember the Name
of a Church. Horace tried to side
step the Questions about Drinking and
Smoking but Uncle pinned him down
so he said that he had. been tempted
but he had not fallen, as yet.
After running the Family Gauntlet,
Horace heaved a Sigh of Relief and
believed that he had clinched all the
