Late in the evening she stole down

she saw him standing there alone. She
saw, too, that his left arm was in a
sling.

Subway Competition

The citizens of New York must
view with great satisfaction the friend
ly rivalry between the great transpor-
tation companies, for the privilege of
providing better rapid transit facil.
ties in New York city. The com
manding position held by the company
which has had the good fortune, or
shall we rather say foresight and
courage, to secure the first subway
system in this city, has thrown some
very natural combination. which
cannot but work greatly in favor of
the general public. If concessions in
the form of continuous trips and cheap
fares continue to be offered by these
competing interests at the present rate
the new extensions of our Subway
system will offer the cheapest, most
extended, and most speedy system of
transit in the world. There seems to
be little doubt that as one result of
the competition between the Interur ban
company, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
and the apparently allied interests of
the Metropolitan, Pennsylvan and
New Haven systems, it will become
possible within few years time to
travel between the remotest limits of
Greater New York for single fare.
This will be equivalent to taking n
journey of from thirty to forty miles
for five cents; and as far as we know,
there is no instance of such cheap
travel. nor anything approaching it,
to be found in any part of the world.
