To which encouraging advice Ran
dolph Morris made no reply, and the
son left the room.
AS Randolph Morris was tenderly
carried down the steps, through an
angry crowd. and placed in an ambu-
lance. he opened his eyes and looked
longingly at the building which bore
his name. Thus he made his last
journey away from the roar and tur-

CHAPTER XXX.
Father and Son.

One by one the directors of the
bank had entered the room where
Randolph Morris. was making his
fight against overwhelming odds.
Some he recognized by an almost i'm
perceptible bow, but no words came
from his lips as he bent over the tape.
The faces of the directors were pale
and drawn from tension.
When L. & o. had mounted to
eighty dollars share, Randolph Nor
ris changed his tactics and attempted
TO check the rise by throwing all his
holdings on the market. In less Than
an hour he hurled thirty-five thousand
shares into the speculative whirl-
pool.
1t was like stemming Niagara with
straw. The price did not sag. The
powerful interests back of l.. 4 o.
pledged three millions of dollars for
this stock and clamored for more.
In response to demand for mar
gins, Randolph Morris deposited sew
eral millions cash and valid securi-
ties. Alarmed by rumors, patrons of
the bank formed in long lines and de-
manded their deposits. There was no
CLEAN Of hope, but grim in defeat the
old banker stood by the wheel and
watched the ship Of his fortunes as
she swiftly neared the reefs Of ruin.
A clerk entered and handed to Ran
dolph Morris the yellow slip of paper
containing the bulletin. He read it
slowly, crumpled 1t in his hands and
threw 1t ON the floor.
Grasping his massive goldheaded
cane, he brought it down on the glass
dome which covered the delicate
mechanism of the ticker. One OF the
flying fragments cut his cheek and a
few drops of blood slowly trickled
down bis face.

God, If pull out of this thing with a
dollar Ill place it where you can't

Randolph Norris glared at his son,
fumbled for his glasses and bent over
the tape.
'Fifty-fve bid for l.. & o." it read.

made public statement which

In the early railroad DAYS and tina,

In the early railroad days, and that
era may be brought down to a com
paratively recent date, roadbeds were
constructed largely along the lines OF
least resistance. The economy Of
time was not considered as carefully
as the economy of construction. Then
came the era of speed, when the saw
ing OF the hours became all import
ant. New, high-speed locomotives
were invented and fast express
schedules were arranged with few
stops, but there was still another great
factor in bringing about the present
fast train service, that the average
person fails to take into account. A
great deal of speed can be put into
the track itself And SO came an era
Of improvement in the roadbed. and
grades were cut down and filled up
to as near dead level as possible,
and cut-offs were built, to eliminate
bends and curves. So with "a fast
track" and high-speed locomotives the
modern express trains and specials"
have reduced the distance between
points and added to the fast train SER
vice without sacrificing either COM
fort or safety.-From The Worlds
Progress" In Four-Track News for
November.

MINISTER'S MAY JOIN UNION.

the Plan Feasible.
/ to Times-Republican.

| Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City. Feb. 23.-If the sugges-
| ton OF Rev. +. II. Shedd of the Third
Presbyterian church is carried out
Sioux City Will have a labor union
made up of ministers. Not to dictate
salaries, nor to organize strikes to gain
points. nor boycotts against fancied
union of the hosts of the devil. but to
Inject the wage earners on mutual
grounds discuss with them problems
| of capital and labor and advise with
them on matters of their material well
fare.
The suggestion of Rev. Mr.. Shedd
created a great deal of interest at the
meeting. The paper of the morning,
by Professor Fred E. Haynes of Morn
ingside, on THE University Settle
ment,' setting forth the brotherhood of
man, put the idea in the brain of Rev.
Mr.. Shedd.
Il have seen this suggested before,
said the Greenville pastor, and while
lit sounds little peculiar perhaps, Sc
riously there is something in 1t. I do
not know whether,all union men would
regard us as eligible, but we are GER
tainly wage earners.
IF we cannot form union we might
have delegates at the meetings of the
Trades and Labor assembly. For my
part wish we could understand bet
ter the questions of union labor
DR.. +. Newhall White, president of
the association. said that the ministers
were wage earners and laborers and
could meet union men on that ground.
He suggested that they have speaker
on union labor questions on the morn
ing program In the near future. Rev.
J. r. Hinkhouse of the Second Presby
terrain church. Rev. II. T. Hilton of the
First Christian church and others
spoke in favor of delegates to the meet
ings of the Trades Assembly.
