object being to get the very best for the
purpose.
Now we come down to the reason itself
why We are not making money. I attribute
this largely to the fact that the law OF the
land has converted the District railway
more or less into a philanthropic institu-
ton. We are compelled by law to run,
up to 8 o'clock in the morning. what are
called workmen's trains. This means car
rytng exactly rs per cent of our passengers
below cost. l have a report here before me
showing the number OF workmen carried
on the District daily. I get these reports
each morning. What do I find? 1t shows
that we lift man up and down twice in
expensive ELEVATORS carry him FIVE miles,
and, even more, to work. and charge him
Just cents
OF course. II we were subsidized by the
government and could call on the taxes to
help US out-as Is the case with the London
county council steamers on the Thames
we would be Q. X. But, with 2J per cent
Of our traffic carried on at a dead loss we
have to raise the rates on the passengers
who are not workmen. We have worked
1t out that the cost of carrying A passenger
and giving him present rapid service-trains
running every minute or So-igures out at
about Is penny per passenger-this being
about ~ cents in American money. When
the workmen pay us Just cents we lose
on every man."
And II you reverted to tho old steam
methodist
IF we reverted to the old steam methods
running not more than eighteen trains per
hour, and with practically wretched 40
commodation, the lines would have to go
out of business In a year or two. Modern
requirements would not tolerate it.

During several evenings The Star men
wandered over the city and collected sam
pies of New Yorks music and other things.
Of course, the visitors did not pass by that
interesting resort, Little Hungary" in
East Houston street. which shelters so
much that is artistic and Bohemian.
On entering the place the many noises
of the surrounding district were left behind.
Once inside there was the consciousness
of the fumes of wine, with which the air

good fellowship there regned supreme, and
one could be sure that If a word was spoken
to a neighbOr, the latter would not be Of
Tended And every woman there, too, had
a smile or a friendly glance for the men.
All that was required for the pleasure
seeker who ventured In Little Hungary"
was a sense Of appreciation Of everything
that came before him. The Washington
visitors happened there on the opening
night and the proprietor took them in
charge for the evening.
A course dinner was served while the
excellent orchestra, situated between two
of the cellar posts began to play dreamy
air. The bouquet Of grape Juice from the
casks surrounding the room was heavy. AS
the music nears the end one begins to ex-
anime the faces OF his companions. They
look familiar but they are soon forgotten.

above the other Instruments. 1t Is a piece

and Infinitely sad. There is a note of
yearning in it. By imperceptible grada-
lions the music reaches its height. and
then dies slowly down, growing fainter
and fainter. expiring in long-drawn sob,
and the listeners awaken with start.
The dinner progressed rapidly. and ere
long everybody assembled to the main cafe.
At one table there sat a party of Ameri-
cans representing the highest social circles
of the metropolis At another several
clubmen were swapping stories Well
known professional men. artists and au-
thors sat practically side by side with
the humbest Of Hungarian workingmen.
Conversations were carried on in practf-

"A very reasonable and judicous precau-

eyes Only If the poison Indeed of
such a nature that 1t was not possible to
trace 1t nothing worse than suspicion could
ever be the lot of any one."
Mr.: Sabin helped himself carefully to
salad. and resumed the discussion with his
next course.
Perhaps not" he admitted But you
must remember that suspicion Is of itself a
greviOus embarrassment. No man likes to
feel that he Is being suspected Of murder.
By the by. Is 1t known whom the unfortu-

Mr. sabin smiled. Lady Carey glanced at

Mr.. Sabin bowed

he said.

swered. And as for the prince-well. you

Mr.. Sabin glanced at her curiously. She

and her hollow cheeks she was certainly one
of the most MISUNDERSTANDING women in
the room.
You are SO dense" she whispered in his
ear, 'willfully dense. perhaps. You will
not understand that l wish to be your
friend"
He smiled with gentle depreciation.
DO you blame me-" he murmured, "if I
seem incredulous? For I am an old man,
and you are spoken of always as the friend
Of my enemy, the friend of the prince"

The New Yorker introduced The Star
men to young woman who had achieved
some reputation as a ballad writer 1T IS
a peculiar fact" she said that most of
the ballad writers cannot write line OF
music. Some of them don't know one note
from another, but they can compose songs
that go like wildfire. They. simply get hold
of pianist. hum their airs to him and he
writes them out Some OF them must de-
pend for the words upon other men. How
they come to drift into this work is diff
cult to tell. Song writing Is an insnira-
ton, and | suppose poverty sometimes can
md but the one outlet of song. They get

ways OF course, in occasional instances
ballad writers have made small fortunes out
OF their works. But as a rule they glad

reaps the rich reward"
Other places in New York where music
Is much In evidence are the one-penny
vaudeville halls, OF which there are many.
They are thronged from morning until
night. The selections in the monographs
are chosen usually according to the locality
way near 10th street makes specially Of
operate and classical selections; another
on Union Square is inclined to divert it's
customers with popular airs of the better
kind. while a hall on the Bowery will have
all the ragtime known. 1t is q common
sight to see a well-to-do person drop

A man at a quick lunch counter on Union
Square was overheard to tell his nearest
neighbor that he never fails, after eating
his lunch, to listen to a bit OF music OF
some sort, because. he said, at clears the
brain"
Then in the later season, when the grand
opera company is in New York the ultra
fashionable have their opportunity for the
enjoyment of music.
In general New York's musical treats are
better appreciated by those whose cares
are greater and lfe's enjoyment less An
nhabitant OF the old ghetto is as satisfied
with his concert hall music as the Italian
with the royal grand opera" and the en-

gratitude shall not disappoint you"
She bit her lip.
Lucille is anxious to be won back? She
loves intrigue. excitement, the sense OF be-
ing concerned in important doings. Besides
you must have heard what they say about
her-and Brott. Look at her now. She
wears her grass widowhood lightly enough"
Mr. Sabin looked across the table. Lucille
had indeed all the appearance of a woman
thoroughly at peace with the world and her
self. BFott was talking to her in smothered
and eager undertones. The prince was walt
ing for an opportunity to intervene. Mr..
Sabin looked into Brott's white, strong face,
and was thoughtful.

SEX" Lady Carey continued. with a faint,
subtle smile. "A word from Lucille, and
the history book of the future must be diff
ferently written"
'She will not speak that word" Mr. Sa-
bin said.
Lady Carey shrugged her shoulders. The
subtlety of her smile faded away. Her
whole face expressed contemptuous and
self-assured cynicism.
