glimpse of the address In her husbands

She read the lines through three
times, first with naked incredibly,
then with rising resentment and finally
with deadly elaboration. She paled,
flushed and paled again till her lips
even looked white.
For several seconds she neither took
breath nor moved. Something cold and
hard and terrible seemed closing about
her throat, choking the very life out of
her.
At this juncture Mainwaring came to
life suddenly.

long and brown and sinewy, gave COM
bined attestation to the mans artistic
temperament and a strong athletic sus-
ceptibility. On the floor beside him
were some golf paraphernalia, a pitch
er of ice water and half a dozen mag
aZines.
Mrs. Maipwaring paused as she
reached the top of the steps and re-
garded her sleeping spouse with med
ley Of emotions, depicted consecutive
ly, upon her pretty, flushed face. Then
a ripple Of silent laughter passed over
it, rendering her twice as enchanting
as anything else could have done.
She tossed her long lace gloves, fan
and cream chiffon parasol on bench
and tripped noiselessly up to her huS
bands chair. Lifting the paper a frac-
ton, she stole quick, cautious glance
into the dark, relaxed features. He
stirred vaguely. She waited a moment,
then she looked again, and all at once
it came 10 her that Mainwaring was a
very handsome man, handsomer even
than she had deemed him before he
placed the wedding ring upon her fin
ger
His hair, black and fine and absolute
ly devoid of wave or crinkle, grew in
a determined line high up on the
square, bronZed forehead. The lashes,
also straight, We're somewhat lighter
in shade, but so dense as to completely
obscure that part of the cheek upon
which they fell. Below a slightly prom

revealed itself to be easily the best
feature. 1t was neither too large nor
too small, too thick nor too thin. 1t
was not stubborn or even obstinate,
but in a good natured, liberal way
uncompromising to the last degree.
After a few minutes he sat up sud
denly and tried 70 open his eyes, but
ten pink tipped fingers checked their
upward glance.

front of his chair and stood looking
down at him with laughing accusation

She had crossed her hands at the

reflection, and the words came with
absent enthusiasm.
Presently her face lighted and she
broke into little amused laugh.

Copenhagen, Jan. ST. Frederick

the Pennsylvania Railroad company,

the fact that the only data on which
the commission can base it's report,
outside the matters already Of public
knowledge, is contained in the reports
of the railroads themselves annually
supplied to the commission in accord
ance with the requirement of law.
These reports the commission always
have regarded as confidential, but it
is understood that details of manage
