For Short Line Between Mill
town and Elizabeth New
Brunswick Cut Out.
SERVICE A SUCCESS.
New YOrk-TrentOn Fast Line
viii Be Given Up-ln the
Near Future.

New Brunswick, Aug. 10:-The
New York philadelphia Company has
Just let to Cole and Tenson, a con-
tract for grading and building of
its New Jersey Short Line This is
the line of trolley that will extend
from Milltown (the present termin-
us of the Trenton and New Bruins
wick railroad) to Elizabeth, giving
a high speed system from Trenton
to Elizabeth. The present route of
the through service between Trenton
and New York is over the Trenton
and New Brunswick fast line to New
Brunswick and from there detour
is necessary via lines of thee Pub
lie Service Corporation, cars passing
through Bound Brook, Dunellen,
and Plainfield to Elizabeth. With
the completion of the New Jersey
Short Line there will be direct high
speed route all the way from Trenton
to Elizabeth, avoiding detours and
cutting in half the time consumed
for the trip between Trenton and
New York.
When the through service between
Trenton and New York was started
a year ago it was not expected that
the traffic would amount to more
than novelty" riding and only four
cars were put on the through ser
vice. In less than two months it was
necessary TO increase to one hour
headway or thirteen cars in each di-
rection every day. These cars at
times carry standing loads, proving
that the innovation has been well
received and is popular The de-
mand for a high speed through SER
vice from Trenton to New York and
from New Brunswick to New York
will be fully realized with the COM
pletion of the New Jersey Short Line
railroad, the work on which will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
The building of the short line will
side track New Brunswick, as the
cars will go across country, and be
taken across the Raritan River rail-
road on a bridge to be built below
Martins dock. 1t is said that plans
for the new bridge are being drawn,
for submission to the war depart
ment. for approval. Wehn the short
line is completed and in operation
desiring to go from New
Brunswick will have to take car
of the Public SERVE line to Milltown,
and there transfer to through car
Of the New k-Philadelphia COM
Dany.
1t is said that the announcement
Of the Public SERVE Corporation that
Ihe through service from New York
to Trenton was not a success, was to
prepare for the announcement that
the through service is to be given
up. 1t is to be given up, however,
not because it is unsuccessful, but
because the Trenton-New Brunswick
whose lines the Public
Service corporation uses from New
Brunswick went the business for its
own through line.

BUS Of safely delivering the missive
before the consul is wholly hedged in
by the crowd that usually surrounds
Dim.
n Whatever Jack has written appears
20 deeply impress the quiet gentleman
whO for years has represented the
%United States in Cuba. He reads it
SthOugh, and placing it in his pocket,
4says to Smithers:
Tell Mr.. Travers | will be on my
#suard. and ready to respond to his
Xmessage at any time o! the day or
Snight"
When Jack hears this he feels con.
%siderably relieved. With the power of
the United States government behind
IN he cannot see much to fear in
{he situation.
While Smithers was absent on his
! mission, Jack has by rare good luck
discovered the party for whom he has
ben searching.
Senior Robado is looking quite his
best. and his distinguished appearance
arouses considerable curiosity. though
the glances leveled at him are quickly
transferred to the wondrous fair face
at his elbow. Among the sable-haired
senOritas Of Spain or Cuba one so
purely a blonde as Jessie Cameron
must always attract an unusual share
of notice
Jack literally feasts his eyes upon
her.
He wonders when this miserable
farce will have been played to its
limit-when he may. dare claim this
dear one for his own. The game is
calling him and he frets under it. Have
patience. Senor Jack: that Jade For
tune intends to give her wheel a merry
uhirl on this night of the Captain
Generals reception, and if you remain
on the qui vive, it is possible the profit
may fall to your share. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price of success in love
as well as in war.
Smithers now leaves his patron for
a time. He has game OF his own to
look after. Since Gomez has deter
mined to visit the grand reception,
and see his enemy face to face. those
who are concerned for the safety of
the great insurgent leader have plenty
10 worry them.
Perhaps the keen wit of the detec-
tive has been levied upon to produce
additional features that will ensure
he safety of the man upon whom the
Cubans in rebellion rely more than
any other for leadership. The pas
sage of events will prove this.
Ever and anon Jack casts his eyes
after the little party. The crush be-
comes great. and many seek the ring
in order to secure relief. Fearful lest
he may lose sight of her in the great
crowd, Jack pushes after and as luck
will have it, discovers the object of his
search with a look of distress upon
her face. the pressure OF the surging
populace having separated her from
the others.
And Jack. stillins the mad throbbing
of his heart, pushes close to where she
stands. sheltered by pillar.
