CHAPTER tx.
Fate Weaves the Fabric.
1t was MollIe-his girl vii

Amazed. almost stupefed, he looked
at the Georgia girl whom fate had
thrown across his path in such re-
markable way.
Il beg your pardon If I was rough
the case demanded action-it was a
question Of life and DEATH" he said at
length, recovering his usual gentle
manly manner.
Il would rather it had been any
body but you, sir, to whom should
be indebted for my life," she said,
coldly, but John only smiled in a grim
way.
There's no use trying to fight fate.
I told you we would meet again and it
has come true. Nor do l believe this
to be the end"
"Sir, remember that l said I hated
you," she burst out with some show of
temper that must have been assumed,
for no living woman could maintain
such a feeling toward a dashing sol
der who, at the risk. Of his own life
had snatched her from what threaten,
ed to be her funeral pyre.
Pardon me, again, II | say don't

She loked at him curiously.
What right have you to demand

WESTERN RAILROADS
WILL SOON CUT RATES

Chicago, March S.-Warned by the
agitation of governmental control OF
rates, western railroads, according to
the Record-Herald, have decided to
make voluntary reductions In trans.
portation charges amounting in the
aggregate to many million dollars an,
nually. The proposed reductions are
to be made in all the rates of the
six classes into which freight Is divid.
ed and will be effective in territory
between the Atlantic seaboard and
Missouri river. In general the reduc.
tons will amount to approximately
Is per cent.
The first step was taken in the
movement yesterday at meeting of
the traffic executive officials of all
western railroads. The representa-.
tive of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul presented the proposition to the
meeting for reductions and it was
forcibly favored by the Chicago, Bur.
lington & Quincy rtilroad.
Another conference has been called
for next Tuesday, at which win be
present all of the important jobbers
in the Missouri river territory. 1t is
now planned, after conference with
the jobbers, to determine on proper
basis of rates from the seaboard to
the, Missouri river, and then to make
corresponding reductions in rates
from Chicago to- the Missouri river
and from the Mississippi to the Mis-
souri, river. When this is accomplish.
ed, it is stated reductions undoubted
ly will follow in the rates from New
York to Chicago.
The REIMBURSEMENT of rates in the
territory named will undoubtedly re
suit in similar action by other groups
Of railroads so that the move of the
western railroads bids fair to be far
reaching and to have an important
bearing on the future relations be
tween the railroads and the public.

The ladder was reared aloft.

The ladder was reared aloft.
BY rare good luck it reached the
edge of the roof, and John knew the
game was saved.
AS he reached the ground and stag.
gered away with his burden, he was
surprised to feel the girl struggle in
his arms.
How dare you hold me SOL am
able to stand. Please put me down,
barbarian"
The voice-the maner gave him a
shock, and mechanically he dropped
the strong arm that had carried her
from death to life-released his bur
den and stood there amazed, gazing al
the face revealed to his eyes as she
shook back the mass of black curly
locks.

MEETING FATE OF THE BUFFALO.
Indiscriminate Slaughter Of Game in
South Africa.

South Africa.
During the four months of the shoot
ing season of 1904 something like 49,
600 head of game has been sold on the
Kimberley market. Those figures
were rather staggering, but it is sur
prising, perhaps, to hear that they
had more than doubled during the
present year.
The secretary of the Game Protec.
ton association had obtained return
from the marketmaster which showed
that 29,119 head of game were sold on
the Kimberley market during the
Period April l to August Is last. If
of that 29,119, say 1000 head were
small birds which did not come within

game" that left something like 81.
900 head Of buck and birds which
were included in the usual interpreta.

lamentable return and clearly empha.

action to stop the indiscriminate
slaughter of game.
The totals under the various heads
of the return showed that the game in

OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN
TERRITORY ONE STATE

Washington, March 10.--At 5:35 D.
m. the senate passed a bill for the
admission Of new state to be called
Oklahoma and Indian territory. II
was the house joint statehood bill
with all the provisions relating to
Arizona and New Mexico stricken out
The motion to strike out was made
by Senator Burrows and it was car
ried by the close vote of 81 to So,
after having been lost, by the still
closer vote of So to SO.
The vote on striking out the part
OF the bill relating to Arizona and
New Mexico, was as follows:
Yeas-Alger, Bacon, Blackburn,
Bulkeley, Burrows, Carter, Clark OF
Montana, Clay, Culberson, Daniel, Du-
bois, Flint, Foraker, Foster, Frazier,

The vote on statehood came as the
climax of a day devoted exclusively
to that bill. Most Of the time was
given to discussion, but the voting on
the bill and amendments consumed
an hour and a half. The speechmak-
ing excited comparatively little in
terest
The test vote, upon which the op.
ponents of joint statehood showed
their greatest strength, was on the
Foraker amendment, which provided
hat Arizona and New Mexico should
be given an opportunity to vote sep.
arately on the proposition of joint
statehood. This was carried by o
vote of AZ to 29.
