fell sprawling on the parapet, but

him by the loose folds of his doublet.

troopers, all stricken motionless as If
they had been transformed to stone. De

for help, then sank again. Armstrong
knew that the paralysis on the bridge
would not last long, and he turned his
horse toward the bank of raw clay.

The painting horse, breathing labori-
ously, essayed the bank and slipped
back. Armstrong let loose his sodden
cloak and flung it on the flood, turning
the horse that he might take the ascent
at an angle. The crowd still stared at
him as If it were a show they had
come out to see. Bruce, his feet once
more on firm ground, shook his name
and gave forth a wild whinny of de-
light Now the voice of command
came in a blast Of anger from the

William as he leaped his horse across

threatening them with his pistols, and

water soaked, fell back.

The men jumped aside, glad they

their own officers who commanded
them. and there was neither time TO

of a cannon doomed from the castle.
and before the fugitive reached the
center there arose at the other end of
the bridge-he could not guess from
whence they came--a troop of horse,
as if the thunder of the gun had called
the company magically from the earth.
Bruce stopped on the crown of the
bridge at a touch of the rein, CULVER
ing with excitement, raised his head
and gave Il snort OF defiance at the
blockade ahead of him. Armstrong
glanced back: the bridge had closed on

Watered Stock.

The railroad senator's are reported
to be solicitous about dividends on
watered stock. 1t is said (that they
wish to force into the rate bill now
before them language which will
compel the courts to take into con-
sideration tho question as to
whether any rate fixed by the inter-
state commerce commission is
sufficiently large to produce a
dividend on watered stock, entirely
independent of the original cost of
construction of the road and the
present cost of operation.
: The supreme court has thought
over that question of dividends on
watered strock and has expressed
a positive opinion regarding it.
Nine years ago the court decided
the Nebraska case. It was a case in
which some Of the railroads of the
state disputed the reasonableness of
rates on local track which had been
fixed by a state board of transporta-
ton. The Supreme court decided in
favor of the roads, but ip it's opinion
there will be found the following
dictum:
IF railroad corporation has
bonded it's property for an amount
that exceeds fair value, or if it's
capitalization is largely fictitious,
it may not impose upon the public
the burden of such increased rates
as may be required for the purpose
of realizing profits upon such ex-
cessive valuation or fictitious
capitalization" -
This was tho answer of the court
to the contention that railroad is
entitled to exact such charges for
transportation as will enable it at
all times not only to pay operating
expenses but also to meet the in
terest regularly ACQUIRING upon all it
outstanding obligations and justify
a dividend upon all it's stock. The
