rifle or revolver, but as I looked at

Miss Gilchrist had boarded an ele-
waited train on her way to the shop
ping district. It was crowded with
men and women going to business,
bat she was fortunate enough to get
corner seat, next to those running
crosswise.
1t was not yet nine o'clock, but Miss
1ilchrist was anxious to get to the
shops early and have her purchases
sent, home before night. There were
several things, an evening waist or
two, fashionable wrap and stylish
nat, that she must have before she
could let herself be seen by anybody.
"Anybody'' meant Horace Whiting,
the dashing New Yorker whom she
had met the summer before at her
home in Pineville. His advent had
made her extremely critical of the
men she had known all her life, par
ucularly of Oliver Leighton, the
greatest catch in Pineville. At any
time previous she joyfully would have
taken Oliver for better or worse, had
she been able to bring him to the
point Of asking her to- but now she
began to keep him at bay with dis
Greet mixture of coyness and coquetry
that bewlldered him, and naturally his
aTdor grew as she became indifferent.
Whiting was certainly no better look
ing than her Pineville admirer, and
not half as well bred, but his air OF
knowing it all, his clothes and the way
he wore them quite dazzled her She
began to have brilliant visions of life
in New York that made Pineville
seem u1endurably dull and tame.
She couldn't say that Whiting had
made love to her, but he had taken
her driving, singled her out on every
occasion, paid her many f7orid compii-
ments, and made her promise again
and again that she would let him
know the minute she came to New
York. So she could easily picture his
delight at learning that she was here,
and that he would have an opportun-
ity to entertain her as he had so often
assured her he longed to do. Whether
anything serious would follow she,
of course, could not tell, but she had
no intention Of binding herself to any
one else until she had given Whiting
a chance to meet her again. Mean
while she had obtained a refusal on
leighton, to whom she had promised
an answer within a couple of weeks.
The intervening time she would spend
In New York, and thus fit herself to
come to proper decision.

Memorial Day,


She saw the bayonets flashing in the SUN.
The flags that proudly waved; she heard
the bugles calling.
She saw the tattered banners falling
About the broken sta ffs, as one by one
The remnant of the, mighty army passed :
And Ut the last
Flowers for the graves of those whose
fight was done.
She heard the tramping of ten thousa nd
feet
As the long line swept round the crowded
square,;
She heard the incessant hum
That filed the warm with blossom scent
The shrilling fife, the roll and throb OF
drum.
The happy laugh, the cheer. Oh, glorious
and meet
TO honor thus the dead
Who chose the better part.
And for their country bled!
The dead! Great God! she stood there
in the street.
Living. yet dead in soul, and mind, and
heart

IL you were ever newspaper re4

the responsibility of railway

meant-this concentration.
Let me illustrate.
"A few years ago a wreck occurred
on middle west railway in which the
lives of a large number of Italians'
were snuffed out. These aliens were

on railway at that time being built.

to the scene and the affair promised,
to result in certain international COM
plications. Naturally the reporters
sought to fix the responsibility. One
engineer had jumped We made an
inquiry of him in the face of the rail-
way detectives injunctions to move
on" His reply was:
Better ask the Dispatcher
The hint was telegraphed back to
town and a reporter looked up the
dispatcher. The poor chap was wor-
ried and in his anger he blurted OUT:
Better ask the division superintend-
ent who's to blame" The division
superintendent, to friend, not "a re-
porter, limited that higher up they
could talk if, they wanted to. And
so after six days the New York cor
respondent had little talk with the
president of that road. The good man
turned his eyes heavenward, and
mumbled something about an act Of
God.
If it is left to the railway director
ate every railway casualty is directly
traceable to God. That is why the
act of providence" phrase is incor-
porated in railway freight contracts
and in all steamship passenger
tickets. And yet the directors them
selves employ every possible means

a siding to let a 'directors srecial''

end. The railways always adopt and
maintain "block' SYSTEM when the

and the block, then, is not a matter

One recalls in this connection
Thomas Nast's pointed cartoon pub

ago, in which were pictured two rail-
way directors tied to the boiler Of a
locomotive, with the caption: If this
