Once a fortnight Louis rode down the
trail to spend Sunday with Ann, but
Raymond steadily refused to join him,
though he suffered keenly Of loneliness.

taken myself out Of that life, And
Louis did not know when he carried
these words to his sister that they
conveyed deeper meaning. Ann was
aware that Raymond was holding
aloof from her, and, while she re-
spected him for his consideration, she
was. after Ill, woman and resented
bis self mastery little.
She was beginning to be bored to
hopelessness by the narrow life at the
Springs, under conditions which seem
ed to the outsider ideally beautiful.
But Louis came down each time
browner, more manly in bearing-a1-
most comical in his assumption Of kel-
ly's walk and Raymond's impassive
face. He always had exciting tales to
tell and seemed so entirely happy and

ask him to return east with her. She
even found herself listening with in
terest to his account Of the doings Of
his heroes, for he had placed Matthew
Kelly on the same pedestal with Rob
ert.
Mrs. Barnett responded graciously to
his invitation to come up and see the
peak, but explained that the high alti-
tude was destructive to her. and Ann
shrank from meeting Raymond again,
though she expressed to him in letter
tepid sort Of gratitude for his care Of
her brother.

Ann repeated his pledge to look care

him out of mischief.
Louis arrived at the Springs fairly
hysterical with joy over his wonderful

His absence had been revelation Of
his value to Ann. She had not realized
up to that moment how deeply his care
was woven into her daily life. 1t was
Jealousy Of Raymond's power-an acrid
juice-which had turned her pity for
him, while wounded and helpless, into
resentment, and now that he was well

his side her heart was bitter with
hatred, but she gave her consent to
Louis return because she dared not

The sun was sinking to mldarter-

full glory Of ermine and saffron. The

Night came abruptly. 4 thin gray

At the moment that Don was point

one caught his hand from behind and
twisted the weapon out of his grasp.
"Go on, Jack. Well take care Of

Once, as her guard came back toward

elemental dread, and her breath rushed

was called TO the statement made by
Secretary Taft eriticising the service
between Panama and San Francisco
for its part in contributing to the con.
gestion of freight for Panama. In re-
ply he said:
Secretary Tafts statement was
made either through malice tending
to injure an American industry or
through ignorance of causes of the diff
ticulties OF which he has complained.
A description Of the conditions on

Schwerin asserted. was due to "cul-
pable negligence on he part OF man
aging officials of the Panama railroad
and utter indifference to their obliga-
tions as a common carrier.
"As son as control OF the road passed
to The United States" said Schwerin,
conditions began to grow worse. The
railroad management cut the wages of
men working on docks which caused =
strike and our labor followed. AS a
result we are both paving higher
wages than we were before for the
poorest iaborers In the world
Complining OF delays to ships by the
alleged holding up OF freight by the
canal authorities, Schwerin said that
lumber ships from New York were
held up so long there were bills for
demurrage amounting II sfs.6iT be-
tween August l and November so,
1905, and the Panama railroad will
have to pay. He denied that the Pacific
