Honor Wilding, looking steadily out
a window Of the city library. was see
ing visions, all of which concerned a
yellow haired young man. Each vision
was rose color at the beginning and
somber gray at the ending. That she
herself was reasonable for the tinting
did not alter the fact that Honor's eyes
were wistful and her lips very near to
trembling. She turned from the win
dow to the readers, wondering aimless-
" If any of them had had ideals and
were sorry.
Finally her eyes Travelled to the far
Their corner, where were the newspa-
per flies. There stood a man, his back
to her. He was very shabby. but he
had yellow hair, and he was about the
height. Just then he turned little and
began tightening his belt. Honor
heard the noon bells ringing. She had
heard that If one were very. very hun

turned entirely around and took up his
ragged hat. Honor dropped her mag

toward him.

Honor expected him to shrink from
her, ashamed of his apparent poverty
but she remembered he usually had
done the unexpected. He picked VI
her belongings, and they went out
Standing In the shadow of the gray
stone building, she lifted hesitating
eyes to his.

wanderings these past two years"
She was surprised again at his quick
consent. She remembered Meryin Fair

BIG RAISE FOR PENNsY. BOYS.
VIII Receive nm Increase of 10 Percent
on December 1.

Philadelphia. Pa, Nov. 3.-The wages
Of all employees of the Pennsylvania
railroad system on lines east and west
OF Pittsburg are to be increased. Nearly
10000 men will be affected It is
probable that the increase will be eff
fective on December 1.
The management is considering the
proposition to grant an increase of 10
per cent to all employees whose salary
per month is less than $500. The
monthly pay roll of the system aver
ages about $1O,O00,000. The total num-
Der of employees on the combined sys-
TENS affected is 1856.
This announcement came as a COM
plete surprise az it was not known that
the management of the company was
contemplating any such move. 1t also
means that the demands OF the train
men and switchnen will in all probabil-
ity be settled in short time as far as
the Pennsylvania is concerned The
wage ques ton will now be a back num-
Der and the demands for better work
ing conditions will probably be settled
at the meeting to be held next Monday
afternoon.

Jouett and the Fighting Cadet.

Admiral Jouett, Familiarity known as
Fighting Jimmy" was acting secre-
tary Of the navy once when the COM
mandant Of the academy at Annapolis
came over and reported that he had
been compelled to discipline a cadet
who had behaved III a most unaccount-
able manner and had disgraced the
academy the department, the govern
| ment and all civilization. He then pro-
ceeded to relate how this cadet when
passing through the lower regions Of
the town of Annapolis had somehow or
another become involved in hostilities
with a tough citizen and proceeded to
polish him off. The friends Of the
tough came to his rescue. The cadet
backed up against a wall and whipped
five of them in succession and then
nearly hammered the life out Of two
policemen who attempted to arrest
him. He was in the custody Of the
civil authorities, and the superintend-
ent Of the academy was seeking the
aid Of the secretary Of the navy In hay
/ ing him transferred to the naval au-
| thorities in order that he might be
/ court martialed and punished
Court martial that fellow!' roared
Jouett, Licked FIVE toughs and two
policemen. Not while old Jim Jouett is
living! The boy ought to have a medal

how? Do you suppose the government
Of the United States hired you to raise

The episode which resulted in the
foregoing proceedings was exciting
and was murderously conducted on the
part of the mob. The party attacked,
and the members Of which were ar
rested and held in bail as narrated
above, left the New York Transporta-

the word was passed along. 1t was
not until the car got to Forty second

Then a heavy stone came through one
Of the windows. Some of the strik-
ers followed after the car, and from
time to time stones pounded on the
sides or tore through the windows.
