Chilcote had moved back to the ia
BILE. His face was pale from his out
burst, and his fingers toyed restlessly
with the open newspaper.
II haven't seen the ST Georges" he
said hastily. 'Lakely Is always ready
to shake the red rag where Russia is
concerned. Whether we are to enter
the arena is another matter. But what
about Craig -Burnage? / think you
mentioned something of contract"
"Oh. don't worry about that. sir"
Biessington had caught the twitching
at the corners Of Chilcote's mouth, the
nervous sharpness of his voice II can
put Craig Burnage off. If they have
an answer by Thursday it will be time

Ders, but Chilcote stopped him.
Watt he said veering suddenly

more myself when I've done some

study"
He walked hastily across the room;
then with his hand on the door, he
paused.
You go first, Blessington," he said.
"'ll--f'll follow you in ten minutes.
/ must glance through the newspapers
first"
Blessington looked uncertain. you
won't forget, sir?"
Forget? OF course not"
Still doubtful, Blessington left the
room and closed the door.
Once alone Chilcote walked slowly
back to the table, drew up his chair
and sat down with his eyes on the
white cloth, the paper lying UNDECIDED
beside him.
Time passed A servant came into
the room to remove the breakfast.
Chilcote moved slightly when neces-
sary, but otherwise retained his atti-
tude. The servant, having finished his
task, replenished the fire and left the
room. Chilcote still sat on.
At last, feeling numbed, he rose and
crossed to the fireplace. The clock on
the mantelpiece stared him in the face.

With Il nervous motion he leaned for
ward and pressed the electric bell long
and hard.
Instantly servant answered.
"Is Mr.. Blessington in the study?"
Chilcote asked
"TIe was there, sir, five minutes
back
Chilcote looked relieved.
"All right. Tell him have gone out

You understand?'
II understand. sir.
But before the words had been prop
erly spoken Chilcote had passed the
man and walked into the hall.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them desire TO get out and en-
joy the eXhilirating air and sunshine
Children that have been housed up all
winter are brought out and you wonder
where they all came from. The heavy
winter clothing is thrown aside and
many shed their flannels. Then a cold
wave comes and people say that grip is
epidemic. Colds at this season are
even more dangerous than in mid-win-
ter as there is much more danger OF
pneumonia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, however, and you will have
nothing to fear, 1t always cures, and
we have never known a cold to result
in pneumonia when it was used. 1t is
pleasant and safe to take. Children
like it. For sale by all druggists.

SPINNER OF GOLDEN WEBS.
Hartman Has Achieved Enormous
Railroad Power In Nine Years.

Less than nine years ago Il. III. Har-
riman, the master spinner, began to
weave web of railroad power. In the
sweep of the first few concentric rings
lay the old Union Pacific, not SO very
glorious prey. On it the spinner fat
tened and grew strong, to spin yet
other circles, says Il writer In Worlds
Work. A little labor and, To-! within
the still narrow sweep of the web lay
the Oregon system. the Chicago and
Alton, the Kansas City Southern. The
corner grew cramped- The great me-
chanic stretched far out across the
continent and fastened upon San Fran
cisco a single arm of the wool Of the
web. The circles grew greater. BY the
end of 1905 they held the whole of the
the Oregon lines, the San Pedro, safe
against assault from without or strug-
gle from within. The first few fllmy
threads had wound about the Santa Fe.
Only the mighty hands Of Hill and
Morgan had saved the Burlington and
the Northern Pacific
If this was mighty web, think of
the web that he spins today! Far
down to the gulf. threading the Mis-.
sissippi valley. lie the thick meshes.
Within their folds struggles the Illinois
Central great. powerful. rich. And all
its greatness, power. riches serve but
to make the hunter keener and avail
not one iota for defense against the
spinner of the web. Yet other arms

York, the harbors Of Philadelphia and
Norfolk The coils lie eptwined about
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Norfolk
and Western. the St Paul, the New
York Central, the Santa Fe, the Penn
sylvania railroad. How long will it bo
before they tighten?

This scheme originated with DR.. Van
Wayenburg and has already been
adopted in Holland, where it has met
with considerable success, says a Paris
cable to the Chicago Record Herald.
The Dutch stamps, twice the size of
the ordinary ones, will be specially de-

Coming.

The sun is on the ellum tree
And warns the live oaks boughs,
And where the wayside thickets are
One hears the glad carouse
OF wild birds planning their wee homes
And hears the field larks sing,
And all the world is waking up
To sing a song of spring.
Soon, soon. the burning trash pile now
Will send its sitting reek
Into each nook and Granny. and
The prim housewife will seek
Each speck Of dirt and stir 1t up
And chase it round about.
Roll up the mating and the rugs
And hang the carpets out
Soon, soon the poor bedeviled man
Will long for desert isles
Or-rather than house cleaning time
For grim war rent defiles;"
Soon will the ichor of the spring
Stir him till he shall wish
To go far from the nadding mop
To some loved spot and fish.
Soon will the wife who charmed US SO
In days agone arise
From bed by early candle light,
Grim purpose in her eyes;
Bid us goodby abstractedly
And at the short days close
Meet us with dust rag round her head
And smut spot on her nose.
