You may not have known that Railway Is
a literary center. Perhaps it isn't now, as
the S. S. s. has gone out of business, though
there may be other literary asiprants doing
business in the town. Let this be lesson
20 tllem not 70 depend upon pretty girls in
their business.
The S. S. s. or snappy Story Syndicate,
was started about two years ago, and it
lasted for ten months. Then came the SEN
sational finish which gives it its present lit
erary value. As the last survivor of the
company, the rights to the story are mine
so here goes!
- We thought we were geniusas when we
began; We know better now. The only ge-
MUS in the combine was the Prettiest Girl
IN Railway. Let me begin with the dra-
mats personae.
Adoniram Chase: a chap of PuritanPil-
grim stock, with four expensive years ex-
perienCe at Harvard. where he did not
graduate. He was nothing less than a hui
man dynamo. keen a needle, merry as
hand-orSan, a wiry, springy chap, with
an infectious laugh. He might be called the
brains of the conspiracy.
Mark McConas: a night drug clerk in
Eliza beth; licensed pharmacist with a d.
Pieina. He was OF the melancholy type, a
poet down to his socks. He was the kind
VINO knows all about atmosphere" and
color and all that sort of thing-not the
dirty paper collary kind exactly, but enough
of a scarecrow in amateur way to be
picturesque.
Me: | started as a civil engineer and
turned several right angles in my career.
I've done cow punching, architecture of the
suburban shingled variety and thence,
through boOk-cover designing, poster draw
ing. to what I pleased to call literature
And lastly the PrcttieSt Girl in Railway
Clara Foster a dYed-in-th e-wool blonde,
with a complexion like an early spring sun
rise and a contralto voice fit to subdue
cave-man in a rage. No, not cage. She
would have been given the thirty-third de-
gree and no questions asked by any beauty
doctor in the United States or Europe. She
simply daZzled you. AS for men-shc just
lit 'em and threw EN- away like frecrack-
ers. How she ever happened to float into
Railway l never knew, but when she first
appears upon the horizon she is a type
writer at a spool factory at so a week.
That was the bottom of the ladder for her.
The last l heard she was still climbing.
You can't stop girl like that, and prophe
Cy hides its shamcd head.
Well. Adonram and Mac and I had come
together by chance over 4 chessboard at
the y. NJ. A. building. and it wasn't long
before we had all discovered a consangun-
-ity of soul. We were all writing, on the
sly. and We all had vaulting ambitions.
Adoniram had had two stories printed in
five-cent magazine Zone was illustrated,
too. and NcComaS had contributed to the
poets corner in an Elizabeth paper. l had
been bothering the big monthlies good deal,
beginning at the top. as Emerson advises,
and l scOrned anything but art, which l
then defined the sort of stuff that won't
sell. oh, yes, l was too good for them, and
all that! 1 had 1t pretty bad.
Naturally. 1t was Adoniram, the
schemer. who first suggested the story
syndicate, and as soon as his plot was

Returning to the street he draws hot water
in the buckets. hangs them at each end of
the yoke which he carries across his Shout
der, and so conveys water to the tub When
the tub is full he retires and you take your
bath. Then he comes upstairs. empties the
tub by means of his buckets and carries the
tub and buckets away. His passage through
the streets is an everyday sight to the Pa
risian and arouses no comment. The price
of a acknowledgements bath is 80
cents. while at the establishment it costs 20

From Harpers Bazar
cannot tell exactly when things began
to get different. 1t was as imperceptible
as the coming of night. for we are both
good-tempered people and had had none Of
the fierce clashes that some people do. I
don't think we had anything as definite
as a first quarrel even. ] think the first
thing that made me pause and wonder was
when the plumbers I made and my little
household difficulties grew real. Before
we had laughed at them. When things
went wrong at first Joe seemed positively
pleased. He liked the stupid things l did
Just because l did them just as he would

The bath man draws this apparatus through

But It is almost impossible to get water

to get any quantity of 1t hot under normal

BLOODY CLEAVER
MUTE EVIDENCE

CHICAGO, June 2S.--The police are
today endeavoring to solve the mys-
terry connected with the disappearance
of Walter Scott, steward of the tug
~. c. Evans"
Owners of the tug believe Scott was
killed with meat cleaver which was
found covered with blood on the floor
of the gallery of the tug. The walls
and floor of the little kitchen were
also spattered with blood.
The body of Scott has not been
found.
Scott was alone on the boat last
night. The police believe he was MUIR
dered by robbers who killed him after
he had discovered them at work. The
door of SCOTS bedroom had been
forced open and the broken lock was
found on the floor. There was also
evidence that a struggle had taken
place outside the room.
Clothing and kitchen utensils were
found in a pile on the deck and the
rooms below had evidently been thor
oughly ransacked.

LOLITA ARMOUR .
MAY RECOVER

CHICAGO. June 2s.-Friends Of lit
tie Lolita Armour are delighted with
the announcement that she will not
have to undergo a second operation,
as was reported. Furthermore. she is
well enough to enter her horses in the
coming Lake Forest horse show.
During recent visit to Vienna It
was said that DR.. Lorenz advised the
Armours to have Lolita placed under
the care Of a physician to be prepared
for . second operation for hip disease.
Lolita, however. has improved so
greatly since then that there is no
necessity. it is said. for any further
treatment Of drastic nature.
Instead Of going to a doctor. Lolita
devotes her time to her amusements
and her studies. She is planning great
things for the Lake Forest season and
expects to be out of doors most Of the
summer with her horses and other
pets.

MISSOURI IS
ON RAMPAGE

KANSAS CITY, June 2S.-The Mis-
souri, river is rising steadily, as the
result of recent heavy rains, added to
the annual June rise, and at some
points is at the flood stage. The
stream is higher than at any time
since the disastrous food year of 1908,
but repetition of the damage is not
expected.
The river is out Of its bank In the
bottoms here. The Kaw river also is
bank full. However, no great damage
is likely at Kansas City.
Near Leavenworth hundreds OF
acres of wheat and corn in the Mis-
souri, bottoms are submerged, and wa
ter is up to the tracks Of the Missouri
Pacific, Burlington, Maple Leaf and
Rock Island in a number of places.
At st. Joseph the Missouri is UP to

A Summer Normal and an Outing.

All arrangements for the opening Of
the State Summer Normal School at
Occur d'Alene ON July is have prac-
tically been completed, and 1t is ex-
pected that the school will be a great
success from the beginning. The Com
mercial club of Occur d'Alene have
provided novel feature by having set
aside beautiful and shady tract Of
park land near the lake and provided
the same with water and electric
lights, so that it is an ideal camping
ground. A special committee of which
Superintendent Barton is chairman has
made arrangements for the provision
Of tents with floors and board sides
which for nominal rental will be
supplied to the students. Board will
be provided by several private board
ing places. The committee now esti-
mate the whole expense, including cost
of living and tuition, at $38 to $40 for
the six weeks, which makes an excep-
tionally inexpensive school for the
summer. The daily program Of classes
is being arranged SO that the work
will be from to each day, thereby
giving the afternoon Tor study, recrea-
ton and outing.
The State Summer School affords
unusual opportunities for combining a
summer outing with a summer Of spe-
cial study and. situated on the beauti-
full Lake Occur d'Alene. Is what will
doubtless eventually become the
"Chautauqua" OF the Inland Empire.
