R~ETRIBUTION BY
WAY OF SHOES

She always declared that it was the
little hole in the toe Of her stocking
that caused it all. 1t was such a
tiny little hole, but the bright color
spread over her pale face at the dis
covery and gave it a beauty that
James Eliot was quick to notice.
h had sat up late the night be-
fore to mend them carefully, but hav-
ing grown so thin, they could not
bear the strain Of darning. 1t had
taken many weeks to save up enough
money for the new shoes and she had
needed them so much.
On entering the store she felt that
every clerk was looking at her shabby
shoes.
She remembered afterward that the
tall, dark man, the proprietor, who
waited on her, did not seem tc
notice their shabbiness and treated
her with the courtesy to which she
had been accustomed in happier days.
She smiled half bitterly as she re-
membered her extravaganza in those
days. Her mania for pretty shoes had
been a family joke.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a
pleasant voice saying. These seem to
fit you nicely. Do you care to wear
them? Very well, I will send the
Others"
All that day something in the girls
face haunted James Eliot. H. could
not understand it. Had he ever seen
her before? He had forgotten to ask
her address, SO could not send the old
shoes. Perhaps she would remember
and call for them, and wrapping them
carefully he locked them in his desk.
Day after day he watched. hoping
she would return, but as she did not,
one night he took them to his room
and put them among the few treas
ures in his cabinet.
Those who knew James Eliot would
have thought this very strange. All
his energy seemed concentrated upon
making money and no dreamed Of
sentiment entering into his nature.
With much at his command, he lived
as simply as any clerk in his employ
and no work was too hard for him.
His presence a felt in all parts
OF his establishment.
One day he noticed a young lady
quietly waiting in the store. She had
evidently sought shelter from
the storm. There seemed to
be something familiar in the
pathetic little droop of the head
and as he walked past her she gave
him a faint smile Of recognition.
His face frightened as he said with
an eagerness that startled her: Il
am so glad to see you again." Re-
covering himself, he added: DO you

New Orleans Picayune.
1t became known in New Or
leans yesterday that the Kansas
City Southern Railroad had ef-
fected an arrangement with the
YOakum interests which would
enable the Kansas City Southern
to use the line of the Colorado
Southern. New Orleans and Pa
ciic into New Orleans. At the
same time. it is understood, the
Kansas City Southern was given
the option of constructing it's
own line into this city.
1t is learned from reliable
sources that the optional line
which has been adopted by the
Kansas City Southern is not the
Louisiana Central, which. all
along. has been known as the
Kansas City SOuthern's line into
New Orleans, but the New Or
Crowley and Western, the
road which the Godchauxs have
projected between New Orleans
and Crowley.
Great surprise and much COM
ment were created recently by
the announcement that the con-
of the Louisiana Cen
trail had been abandoned. This
followed a confer
erence which w. F. Owen. Presi-
dent of the New Orleans.
Crowley and Western. had with
the managers of the Kansas City
Southern in New York. In pro-
the New Orleans.
and Western it is be-
ieved by local railroad men that
the Godchaux's intended merely
to organize "a company and sur
rey a road which would give the
interests competitive
rates for the handling Of the out
out Of their sugar factories.
This projected line, it is stated,
vas originally intended to be
'old to the highest and quickest
and the Kansas City
has got on the ground
irst with a bid which gives it
control of the Godchaux line, at
he same. time that a move has
,een made which will enable the
Kansas City Southern to use the
Southern, New Orleans
nd Pacific into New Orleans, if
so desires.
This statement of the Kansas

he whole situation regarding
he entrance of that system into
