The consensus of opinion seems to lie
distinctly hostile to the electIFc railways.
Doubtless the time has been too short to
enable steam railway officials to reach
final conclusions on the subject, and u
is perhaps natural that they should ar
first be more suspicious and hostile thar
the ultimate effects of electric competI-
ton would justify. Two or three of the
important steam railways which have
been most affected have sought to meet
it by themselves introducing electric
service etwee certain points. 1t is
very probable that steam railways will,
to an increasing extent, equip existing
track with electricity for the handling
of a part or all of their traffic, or viii.
build new electric lines at least for sur
burban passenger service.

RUSSIA. JA1AN AMI RoOo1 1910
Authentic news from the Russia-Japan

and New world. AS near as can De
learned from the conference room, Rus
STA will not make any cession OF terri

seems to the Silver State that Japan
was demanding more than she is enti-
fled to under the most liberal construc-
ton of the trouble between that nation
and Russia. Japan's demands are UNI
than imbecile if she accedes to them.
President Roosevelt seems determined
that the conference shall not be dis
solved until every effort to get the two
warning nations together is exhaust 4.
The President is proving himself the sin

his efforts may be crowned with uniimit-

President Roosevelt is surely a great

regard him as the strongest man who

He is brave, absolutely just and his
affection for the so-cal.ed common peo-

he came in to breakfast and father
looked over his glasses and asked who
he was Said he didn't recall having
seen him before. / said / couldn't re-
member his other name, but knew his
first name was Paul. He ate four pop

up after breakfast. So interesting to
see them arrive. 1 dropped my book
over the piazza rail in my excitement
and one of them picked it up. Nice
teeth and blue tie He said some
thing in low tone, but / didn't quite
get it. Father thought it was some
one we knew and told him 1t was good
of him to come down so soon. / stood
behind father and looked at him un-
der my hat brim. He grasped fathers
hand and said he was delighted to be
here; but the others were waiting for
him and he had to join them. So mad
dening! Looked for him again on the
beach, but he was teaching a fuzzy
haired girl to swim, so there was no
use. Another man moved my chair
when the tide began coming in, and
/ thanked him. Pink striped shirt and
silk socks. Rather nice Wonder

iron nerve: May 1 speak to you a

him this morning. His teeth look

Idea of anyone calling me a flirt! Did

Father wouldn't invite Victor to

Made up my mind that Victor should
propose today for if he didn't l should
lose the bet and that would be too
mortifying. Was sitting on the piazza
with one of the new men-his name is
Smithers-don't like that very much
when Victor came by. He bowed cool
ly and went on. Knew that wouldn't
do, as time is getting so short, so left
Smithers in a hurry and went after
Victor. Had on my prettiest shoes
and best openworks, so felt perfectly
confident of myself. Victor was on
the club lawn where / first saw him.
Went down to the lake and hired the
same cedar boat 1 had the day of my
adventure. Victor was watching me,
though pretending he wasn't. Delib
erately threw the oars overheard and
called for help. Victor saved my life
again, but instead of going in swim
ming at noon we went way up the
beach and sat down behind some old
charred timber Crossed my feet COM

preciation.

young affections. DO l look like that
kind of girl?" l returned, reproachful-
ly. "You look like an adorable kind

the way to talk and 1 did not discour-
age it. He tried to take my hand, and

traction.
1t was not disagreeable. Began
thanking my rescuer in a trembling
voice for his kindness, and in the
cheeriest way he said he had done
nothing, that there really wasn't a
particle of danger; the little lake was
so small that l would have drifted
in by myself, which wasn't the way
wanted him to talk, for I had known
that all along. / answered that / had
always been timid little thing and
had never had to drift for myself and
was so sorry to put him to so much
trouble. Left my sleeves rolled up, as

my arms. Began thinking how it would
be to be engaged to him, for of course
l mean to be before the week is over on
account Of that bet. Told me his name
was Victor Grainer-isn't that just the
most romantic name? When we got
ashore l looked timidly into his eyes
and murmured that he had saved my
life, and he Immediately invited me on
the club Veranda and insisted upon my
having something to brace me after
such a perilious adventure. Knew how
wild father would be, but he doesn't
know that l have to become engaged
within the next four days, so let Victor

lieve he said was a Manhattan. Victor
certainly is charming fellow and do
love yachting clothes. The story of my
thrilling adventure spread all over the

more boats. Don't mean to. Was in

after breakfast-that is, after a turn

He was smoking cigarettes down by

in my ear: won't you let me save
your life again?" L turned as though
greatly startled. "You know what they

time was getting and feeling that |

know what l meant and Immediately
asked me to go rowing with him. Had
put on my yachting suit, so was all
prepared for it, Had the most heavenly
time. He really is perfectly darling
and that yacht off the breakwater is
his. Must win the bet or die in the
attempt. Saw Paul and several other
men while we were on the lake. That
cat girl was with Paul and l gave her
a naughty look. Paul will do for the
interludes, but Victor for keeps. Father
is little bewildered over it all, but,
poor father, he can't be expected to
know all the secrets of his little daugh-
ter's heart. Went in bathing with
Victor and he jumped me over the
breakers beautifully. His bathing suit
is blue and white to match mine-such
a coincidence! Gave Paul one wave
Just one-merely to keep things going.
