In Canada the total mileage pro-

OF that country. Taking the east with
tho west, four great companies con.
template the construction OF over
5000 miles OF railway.
In addition, there have come Va
light since this compilation was made
American projects that will probably
bring the total TO well over $4,000
miles of standard gauge railway.
Inevitably n considerable proportion
OF this mileage will never be con.
structed A great, many companies

fail through various causes to com

mont to-day that call FOR the creation
OF well over $4,000 miles Of track In

Matters being thus satisfactorily ar.
range. Policeman Flynn bided his
time. Never before had he left the
dudes who conSregated about the
stage entrance so entirely alone, for
he desired to gather them all In AT
one swoop. They were harmless fe!.
lows of the class who like to hover
about, making eyes at the chorus girls
and pretending to have standing
with them that they do not possess:
but, as Policeman Flynn had said,
they were nuisanccs-although of a
kind numerous in every large city
. and in this instance the stage entrance
was so arranged that 1t was difficult
TO keep 1t clear of them.
Finally, when the assembled crowd
was large enough to suit him, the pa
trolman made his sally. Out of the
alley went the youths and in at the
front door of Casey's saloon. with the
officer in close pursuit. This time he
