There is certain law on the statute
books of Vermont we should like to

That law is Sections 1924 and 1925.

Brigham academy, Bakersfield was

Shortage of Freight Cars.

The Central Vermont railway is
suffering from the scarcity of freight
cars which is prevailing throughout
the country. From Barre, in parti-
cular, complaints have been received
as TO the lack of cars for shipping
purposes. In the stone sheds and
granite quarTies at Barre is 81, 000, 600
worth of material waiting for ship
ment. Much of iC is long overdue at
it's destination. Many contracts have
been forfeited. The manufacturers
of Barre have had a bill introduced
into the legislature for the imposi-
ton of a penalty on railroads when
cars are not furnished within four
days after being ordered. The con-
ditioBs are said 60 be largely due to
tue high degree of prosperity exist
ing throughout the country. More
over, the car shops in the country are
unable to keep. up with thu demand
for new cars. In the case of the Gem

about twenty five cars last week.

CHAPTER XVI.

HORACE MILBREY UPHOLDS THE
DIGNITY OF HIS HOUSE.
In the shade of the piazza at the
Hotel MaysOn next morning there was
sorting out of the mail that had been
forwarded from the hotel in New York.
The mail of Mrs. Bines was a joy to
her son. There were three convention
al begging letters, heart-breaking in
their pathos, and composed with no
mean literary skill. There was a let
ter from one Of the maids at the High
tower for whose mother Mrs Bines
had secured employment in the family
of a friend; position, complained the
daughter, lin which she finds constant
hard labor caused Icy the quantity ex-
pected of her to attend to-" There was
also a letter from the lady's employer,
saying she would not so much mind
her laziness if she did not aggravate
it by drink. Mrs. Bines sighed de-
spairingly for the recalcitrant.
"And who's this wants more help
until her husbands profession picks
up AGAIN." asked Percival

"But this is just the season for ice

some money, only the man he fought

Looks as if there were something
doing there said Percival, as they
drove off the wharf.
"Of course. stupid!' said his sister;
that's plain; only it isn't doing, it's
already done. Isn't it funny, MAJ"
"For a French person." observed
Mrs. Bines, guardedly, 81 always liked

"Cf course" said her son, to Maui
burns mystifcation, "and the noblest
men on this earth have to wear 'em. u
The surmise regarding the Baron de
Palliac and Mile Higbee proved to
be correct. Percival came upon Higbee
in the meditative enjoyment of his
after-dinner cigar, out on the broad
piazza.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE SIGHT OF A NEW BEAUTY, AND
SOME ADVICE FROM HIGBEE.
In from the shining sea late one aft
ernOOn steamed the Viluca. AS her
chain was rafting through the hawse-
hole, Percival with his sister and
Mauburn, came on deck.
'Why, there's the Chicago-Higbee's
yacht
That's the boat,' said Mauburn,
that's been piling the white water up
in front of her all afternoon trying to
overhaul u.s."
There's Mile Higbee and old Silas,
now"
And, as I live" exclaimed Psyche,
there's the Baron de Palliac between
them!'
Sure enough" said her brother.
1--WE must call. ma up to see him
dressed in those sweet, pretty yachting
flannels. Oh, there you are!" as Mrs.
Bines joined them. Gust take this
glass and treat yourself to look at
your old friend, the baron. You'll no.
tice he has one on-see-they're way
ing to u.s.
Doesn't the baron look just too dis
tinguished beside Mr.. Higbee?" said
Psyche, watching them.
And doesn't Higbee look just too
Chicago beside the baron?" replied her
brother.
The Higbee craft cut her way grace
fully up to an anchorage near the Vi
luca, and launches from both yachts
now prepared to land their people.
At the landing Percival telephoned for
a carriage. While they were waiting
the Higbee party came ashore.
"Hello!" said Higbee, IF I'd known
that was you we was chasing I'd have
put on steam and left you out of
sight,"
nize us; these boiler explosions are so
messy"
Know the baron here?"
"Of course we know the baron. All,
r<ron!'
"Ah, ha! very charmed Mr.. Bines and
Miss Bines; it is of long time that
we are not encountered"
He was radiant; they had never be-
fore seen him thus. Mrs Higbee how
cred near him with an air of proud
ownership. Pretty Mile Higbee posed
gracefully at her side.

more'n that sign I showed you coming
out of the old town, and he won't give
any such returns, but the crest on them

will be bully ad; and it kept the
women quiet" he concluded apollo
| getically.
"The barons a good fellow" said
Percival.
"Sure,' replied Higbee. They're all
good fellows. Hank had the maxim s
of a good fellow in him. And say,
young man, that reminds me; l hear
all kinds of reports about your getting
TO be one yourself. Now I knew your
father, Daniel J. Bines, and I liked
him, and I like you; and I hope you
| won't get huffy, but from what they
| tell me you amt doing yourself a bit
of good"
Don't believe all you hear" laughed
Percival
well, I'll tell you one thing plain,
if you was my son, you'd fade right
| back to the packing house along with
| Henry-boy. It's a pity you amt got
some one to shut down on you that
| way. They tell me you got your ia
| theirs capacity for carrying liquor, and
| I hear you're known from one end of
| Broadway to the other as the easiest
| mark that ever came to town. They
say you couldn't walk in your sleep
without spending money. Now, excuse
my plain speaking, but them are two
regulations that are mighty hard 10
| live up to beyond a certain limit.
They've put lots of good weight-car-
riers off the track before they was due
to go. I hear you got pinched in that
wheat deal of 'Burman's?"
"Oh only for few hundred thou
sand. The reports of our losses were
exaggerated. And we stood to win
| over"
"Yes-you stood to win, and then
you went way back and set down. as
the saying is. But it amt the money.
You've got too much of that, anyway,
Lord knows. It's this everlasting hull
labaloo and the drink that goes with
it, and the general trifling sort of a
dub it makes out of a young fellow
It's pity you amt my son; that's all
I got to say. I want to see you again
along in September after I get back
from San Francisco; I'm going to try
to get you interested in some business.
That'd be good for you"
you're kind, Mr.. Higbee, and really
I appreciate all you say; but You'll see
me settle down pretty soon quick as
get my bearings, and be credit to
the state of Montana"
After they had gone away Perciva]
sat revolving the paternal warnings of
Higbee. He considered them seriously.
He decided he ought to think more
about what he was doing and what he
should do. He decided, too, that he
could think better with something me-
chanical to occupy his hands. He took
a cab and was driven to the local
branch of his favorite temple of chance.
His host welcomed him at the door.
"Ah, Mr.. Bines, little recreation,
Ell? Your favorite dealer, Dutson, is
here tonight, if you prefer banR.'
Passing through the crowded, bright
ly-lighted rooms to one of the faro
tables, where his host promptly Sc
cured a seat for him, he played meGi-
tatively until one o'clock; adding ma
terially to his hosts reasons for believ-
ing he had done wisely to follow his
New York clients to their summer an
mex.
