VA IN r. MOLE saw old Simon
WH bring Fisher up to the
XV0 school and from his lips
heard an account of the ac-
cldent. Going up to Hunston after
tea he said. You have done a brave
act. though you were wrong in taking
Fisher ON the river, because he cannot
swim"
"Yes, sir was wrong there, but he
begged so hard to 60" answered Hun
ston.
"Well, shall report your conduct TO
Mr. Crawcour, and he viii no doubt
reward you in some fitting manner for
your bravery"
Thank you. sir" said funston,
whose cheeks flushed either with pleas
ure or shame at the deception he was
practicing
During the whole of the evening he
watched Harkaway carefully. One
word from Jack would scatter his care
fully built edifice to the winds. Fisher
was very weak. The shock to his sys-
tenn had been great, and the doctor
who was called in had recommended
that he should be moved to a room by
himself. as any noise might be preju-
dicial to his health. So in Hunston's s
dormitory bed was left vacant.
As soon as the boys were got off to
bed Mr. Mole looked over the notes he
had made in his pocketbook against
certain boys of whom he had to com
plain. Knocking at the principals door,
the senior master was told to come in,
which he did Mrs. Crawcour was re-
clining on the sofa, covered with thin
shawl. She did not move when Mr.
Mole entered. Her husband was sit.
ting at table on which were box of
cigars and decanter of sherry.
He appeared to be in an excellent
temper.
"Ah, Mole!" he said. SIS it you come
TO make your report? That's right. Sit
down and have glass of wlne-sherry.
There are port and claret, too, in the
chiffonier."
THANK you, sir, Sherry will do" re-
piled Mr.. Mole.
"Now, what is it? Anything fresh?"

replied Mr.. Mole.
At the mention of this name Mrs.
Crawcour slightly turned her head, as

was coming.
"Tell me about him. have not seen

10000 MILES OF TRACK
The railroad systems involved
in this combination are thp New
York Central and the many lines
it controls, including the Lake
Shore, Michigan Central, West
Shore, Boston & Albany, "Big
Four" and a number of smaller
companies; the Chicago & North
western system and the Union
Pacific, controlling the Southern
Pacific, the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company and the Or
egon Short Line. Their aggre-
gate mileage il more than 10000
and the value of their combined
capital stocks presents a startling
array of millions.
This first trans s-continental
system in fact would tap the larg-
est ports on the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards and draw on
the richest districts in the United
States for business. 1t wouldnot
be open to the same line of attack
as was the Northern Securities
company, for the three systems
are in no sense competitors and
there could be no argument oi
combination in restraint of trade
The advantage gained in through
rates would be enormous, both ir

trix of the estate Of Ingbreth Olsen

tropolis. The suit was instituted in
Fergus county, but later was trans
ferred to Lewis and Clark county
Then came a motion of the plaintiff
to have the case transferred to Fer
gus county.
Today the defendant filed an aft
davit in opposition to this motion, IL
which she states that she will sum
mon as witnesses several Helena ply
sicians, by whom she expects to prove
that the charges Of the plaintiff .wert

be more easily secured for attendance

the patience of his hearers somewhat
by a long disquisition of how former

similar to that Thursday. He de.
clared that such incidents had never

ton or dissolution and announced
that the government did not propose

cause of Thursdays occurrence.
The premier considered that It
would be grave evil II the tenure OF
ministers was made dependent upon
such votes as that of Thursday. He
hoped the practice would never pre-.
vail of allowing a government, united
in itself and possessing the confidence
Of the majority of the house, to aban.
don it's post merely in consequence

japan Cratef"' to America.

Toxic, July 26-The Hochi, Count
Okuma's newspaper organ, yesterday
published a leading article welcoming
the Taft party and gratefully recall
ing what the United States has been
to the japanese since the time OF
Commodore Perry-an unerring guide
and friend.
The policy of the United States to-
ward Japan, the article says, has been
one unbroken record of kindly assist
ance, politically and commercially.
In fact, in all departments of the pro-
gress of modern Japan Americas help
is clearly traceable. Especially Pres
ident Roosevelt's stand in bringing
the peace plenipotentiaries together
adds a memorable chapter to the al
ready magnificent record Of Ameri'
cas- invaluable aid to Japan.
The paper regrets that the shortness
of the party's stay will not admit
of an adequate manifestation Of the
general feeling of gratitude and ap-
probation toward the government and
people to which the distinguished
party belongs.
The Hochi leader is typical OF the
feeling throughout the empire.
