t4A VOW that had given my pursu- ss.s CTS the slip was confident that
 I should not be at further trou'
 ble with them for the present \ for once I and my parcel were out of
 their sight for any space of time there
 could be little doubt in their minds that
 I would accept the chance to dispose of
 it. But, as matter of fact. did noth-
 ing of the kind The document would
 be of little use deposited in some Lon
 don safe. It might be of considerable
 value down at the castle. I still hug
 ged my secret in my pocket and, hug
 ging it, set out next morning to find E. Sheppard. I caught him upon his re, z Nturn about midday and opened the sit
 uation to m over lunch. It did me ' k6od to see his eyes sparkle at the rec
 itation
 "Why, this is the seventeenth century &-SHt least, Ned" said he in his excite Z ment. "A treasure, buccaneers and a \ high handed, murderous gang! Do { stand on my head or my heels" And ' he smacked his thigh in sheer joyous { ness.
 ! ssThs is well enough" I replied, "but you forget that it is no child's play. s This is mighty serious, if I have a mo- ! tion of the men, and we must face the case pretty brazenly and boldly if we ,. decide to go forward" ...-. t He sprang from his chair. My dear ! fellow, you amaze me-" said he. "You : talk in this dubious way about going | forward, with an adventure like this < ahead! If you cock white feather {, my good Ned, will take the place of | your hands and carry on the game on my own account. That's my feeling" { 'So far. good" said I. .'I wanted tG ! be quite open with you, and, as for 4 that, between you and me I have every
 intention of sticking to it. But this is
 the least part of the matter. We can
 make up our minds to go on, but what
 is going on?" x Sheppard picked up time table. "Im primis," said he, ito catch the 3:45 .d1 train to Raymond. If you'll drive

 Montgomery on the watch and very
 eager. He had armed himself with | shotgun, which he drs gged about witl
 him very ostentatiously, and indeed
 had some ado to prevent him sitting
 down to dinner with it. Sheppard hat been informed of his presence, and the
 two promised to be capital friends Sheppard always had way direct tC :. the heart of new acquaintances and with his indomitable gayety and his

line from III Paso or Benson 10 the

From q reliable source II Is learned
that a major part OF the material for
the construction OF the coast extension
already has been purchased, aud that
the officials OF the system have been
waiting the beginning OF operations
only until satisfied that the waters OF
the Colorado would soon cease to
flow into the Colorado desert.
There IL a probability that general
offices will be opened In this city
soon. II will be necessary to have "a
western headquarters established be-
fore the actual work OF construction
Is begun. and as Los Angeles il to
be the terminal point, this city will
be the most advantageous from which
to direct the work.
Agents OF the company aud cOmpe-
tent engineers have been looking over
the possible routes to the coast. and
1t Is said that the one which will be
recommended to the official board
will be u direct line from Benson To
San Diego. crossing the Colorado
about at the Mexican line south Of
Yuma and crossing the desert very
near the international line, possibly
south.
Through the coast range, Il IL be

Mexican line, as nature offers better
facilities than to the north. From
San Diego to Los Angeles It is limited
that the road will keep well back

commisslon. Rolling Rexersed.

The citrus fruit cases, In which
all the railroads OF southern California
were interested, have been decided
favorably to the railroads by the SUI.
preme court of the United States, the
opinion being delivered by Justice
Peckham. The cases involved the
right of the railroad companies to
designate the route for fruit shipped
east after leaving their own lines.
The decision of the circuit court for
the southern district OF California and
also the order Of the commission were
reversed by the present decision. The
proceeding was brought by the inter-
state commerce commission to test
the joint order issued by all roads OF
southern California in 1899 fixing a
through rate of $1.25 per hundred
pounds on oranges from southern Cali
fornia points to the Missouri river and
further east. In this order the rail-
roads reserved the right Of routing
the freight east of their terminals.
The commission raised the question
that the routing provision was vir-
tually a contract for pooling. and the
railroad companies justified the re-
quirement by saying that 1t was ne
cessary to prevent the making Of re-
bates. The circuit court sustained
the governments contention and also
held the railroad circular to be in
general violation Of the spirit Of the
interstate commerce law.
The supreme court holds that the
whole question of joint through rates
under the provisions of the act Is one
Of agreement between the companies
and they may or may not enter into
1t as they think their interests de-
mand, and it IS equally plain that the
initial carrier may agree upon joint
through rates with one or several con-
Meeting carriers who between each
other might be regarded al competing
roads. II Is also ~undOubted that the
carrier need not contract to carry be-
yond its own line, but may there de-
liver to the next succeeding carrier
and thus end it's responsibility and
charge Its local rate for the transpor.
tation. II 1t agrees to transport be-
yond its wi lines 1t may do 30 by
such line as II chooses. As the carrier
Is not bound to make a through con.
tract 1t can do SO upon such terms as
1t may agree upon, At least 70 long as
they are reasonable and do not other.
wise violate the law. In this case the
initial carrier guarantees the through
rate, but only on condition that Il
has the routing.
