Santa Fe All the Way

The Santa Fe is the only line with its own rails from San F-an- disco and Los Angeles to ChidagS.
 There are combinations of rail- ways which join each other in forming through lines between these cities, but the Sap.a Fe sS the only one under the same man. agement, and therefore the only one with uniformity of service and undivided responsibility.
 When one starts on the Santa Fe he is sure to go through. Of course, delays may occur. but con- nections will never be missed, be- cause none is necessary all the way through.

turned the matter over to him. Frye's

"Are you personally well acquainted
with Mr.. Frye" asked Albert, having
an object I'm mind.

Albert thought OF Burns apt Gym

might for one moment see himself as
others saw him. He felt tempted to
tell Frank just what Frye had said
and what his opinion Of him was, but
wisely kept II to himself.

at last. "I've got date for the mat.

eve. at your room and take you up to

When his friend had departed, Albert
resumed his rather monotonous copying
the gist OF a lot of decisions bearing
upon case that Frye had pending

lunch 1t was as usual, alone and to a
cheap restaurant.

yacht, plenty Of money and nothing to

Page looked confused. "Well, we

Page was nonplused.
"He has some deep la!d plot in his

Frye. He was glad to escape the Office,
however for his head felt full of bees,
and, thanking his employer for the
permission, he quickly left the city be-
hind him. The crisp October air and
exercise soon drove away some Of the
