l. F. Young Calls for Halt.
II. D. DeBardeleben. City.

Mr H. r. DeBardeleben, City.
 Dear Sir:-Your article in The Age Herald of November 4 is read with a great deal of interest, and we fully agree with you that the time has come for a halt in destroying the property of the railroads in this state. It is of the ut most importance that the railroads and the large corporations should be let alone at this time so that they can increase their facilities for handling heavy trans portation from this district and this state.
 We all know from experience that it would Se impossible to secure money to carry on their improvements with ad- verse legislation against them, and we sincerely hope that your article will be the means of putting a stop to this ad- verse legislation.
 If we can be of any further service to you in this matter, please command us. Yours very truly

Numerous Responses Wade To DeDaydeIeben's
 Warning Againsf Danqer

Already the warning sounded to the peo- pie of Alabama by H. F. DeBardeleben is meeting with serious consideration. Mir. DeBardeleben, the man who has done more actual pioneer and development work in the mineral field of Alabama than any other one man, believes the state needs more railroads and should lend encourage ment to those already here, who have done so much/to develop the mineral dis trict as well as the agricultural sec tions of Alabama.
 Numerous letters have already been received by MT. DeBardeleben, prasng the stand he has taken against the evi- dent injustice that is contemplated to- ward certain corporate interests of the state by the legislature which convenes tomorrow. Here are few of the letters received yesterday:
 Letter From FulenWider.
 Birmingham, :la., November l. 1907. Col. H. F. DeBardeleben, City:
 Dear Sir: l have read with great in- teresf your letter which appeared in The Age-Herald of November 1, and later your letter of this date, addressed to the peo- pie of Alabama. in which you call at tention to the danger ahead.
 I fully indorse everything you lave said As a citizen of Birmingham l am not unmindful of the great work which you have done, and are still doing in the way of creating pay rolls for this district If Alabama had dozen men who had done as much for the state as you have done I think it is safe to say rhat our taxable values would be S100, ,0OG,O00 more than it is today.
 I write you this in order to let you know that you may call upon me to aid you in any way in the fight you making to uphold the credit of our rail- roads and to prevent their confiscaton, upon which in a large measure depends the credit of Alabama, and every man who has any interest in the state. Yours very truly, A. l.. FULENWIDER.
 Dangaix Sends Congratulations.
 Birmingham, Ala, November f. 1907. H. F. DeBardeleben, Esq, Birming
 ham, Ala:
 Dear MT. DeBardeleben: Please accept my cordial congratulations upon your ex- cellent letters in defense of the material interests of the Birmingham district. Hav- ing invested practically all of my means in Birmingham realty and other inter ests in the Birmingham district l am opposed to the enactment of such laws as would result in a serious burden on the railroads operating in Alabarna-those great developing agencies which have con- tributed more than all else to our splen- did progress. Very truly yours,

 Woodward in Sympathy.
 November 1, 1901 MT. H. F. DeBardeleben:
 Dear Sir: I have carefully read your open letter to the people oe Alabama, and agree with you in the premises. If the railroads we now have are treated un- justly and fined because they cannot move, will there be any more of them? Have we all we need? If men do not re- sist injustice and oppression, they will surely be eaten, and whose interest will be the next on the list to be sacrificed? Yours truly, w. H. WOODWARD.

side, and I followed, still mystifled, and angered by her composure. She even turned, with pretty courtesy, to hold the light for me at tho crypt steps.-a service that accepted per. force and with joyless acQuiescence in the irony of it. I knew that did not believe in her; her conduct as to Pick ering was utterly indefensible,-I could not forget that; but the light of her eyes, her tranquil brow, the sensitive lips. whose mockery stung and pleased in breath,-by such testimony my doubts were alternately reinforced and disarmed. Swept by these changing moods I followed her out into the crypt.
 You seem to know a good deal about this place, and suppose can't object to your familiarizing yourself with your own property. And the notes-Ill give myself the pleasure of handing them to you tomorrow. You can cancel them and give them to MT. Pickering,-a fitting pledge between you!"
 I thrust my hands into my pockets to give an impression of ease did not possess. ..
 Yes" she remarked in a practical tone; "$320.000 dollars is no mean sum of money. MT. Pickering will un- doubtedly be delighted to have his debts cancelled"
 Tn exchange for life of devotion" I sneered. So you knew the sum the exact amount of these notes. He hasn't served you well. He should have told you that we found them to- day"
 You are not nice. are you, Squire Glenarm, when you are cross? But MT. Pickering wasn't kind not to tell me. Why, I might catch a dreadful cold down here!"
 She was like Olivia now. I felt the utter futility of attempting to reason with woman who could become 8 child at will. She walked up the steps and out into the church vestibule. Then before the outer door she spoke with decision.
 We part here, if you please! And Il have not the slightest intention of trying to explain my errand into that passage. You have jumped to your own conclusion, which will have to serve you. I advise you not to think very much about ito the exclusion of more important business,-Squire Glenarm!"
 She lifted the lantern to turn out its light, and it made glory of her face. but she paused and held 1t toward me.
 Pardon me! You will need this to light you home"
 But you must not cross the park alone!"
 Good night! Please be sure to close the door to the passage when you go down. You are a dreadfully heed less person, Squire Glenarm."
 She flung open the outer chapel door and ran along the path toward St. Agatha's. watched her in the starlight until bend in the path hid her swift-moving figure.
 Down through the passage I has. tened, her lantern lighting my way. At the Door of Bewilderment I closed the opening, setting up the line of wall as we had left it in the after noon, and then I went back to the library. freshened the fire and brooded before it until Bates came to relieve me ct dawn.

Largely Increased Returns for the
 Breeders of Ostrlches.

"Undyed and uncurled ostrich feath ers-feathers in the natural state will be a good deal worn from nov on," said the salesman. Tn conse quence the price has gone up.
 Tt has gone up all along the line The eggs, the. chicks, the birds, the feathers, all have risen.
 The crop plucked from one bird was worth $75 last year, but it is now worth $110.
 Eggs that used to sell for two dol. lars apiece bring three dollars to-day and, by the way, in buying ostrich eggs whack them with key and see that they give forth a clear, ringing sound, for if the sound is dull they are those papier mache eggs that have fooled so many of us lately.
 Chicks and mature birds, if the de. mand keeps up, will nearly go back to their old-time prices. In the old days a good pair of adults was worth $5 5,O0O, and chicks brought $500 apiece. The price dropped to $150 pair for adults and s2o a pair for chicks. Now, though 1t has risen 20 per cent.

morrow, and running forward to the future. Even if won in my strife with Pickering had yet my way to make in the world. His notes were probably worthless,-I did not doubt that. might use them to procure his removal as executor, but did not look forward with any pleasure to legal fight over property that had brought me only trouble.
 Something impelled me to go below, and, taking lantern, tramped som- berly through the cellar. glanced at the heating apparatus, and, remember ing that the chapel entrance to the tunnel was unguarded, followed the corridor to the trap. and opened it. The cold air blew up sharply and thrust my head down to listen.
 A sound at once arrested me. l thought at first 1t must be the suction of the air, but Glenarm House was no place for conjecture, and I put the lantern aside and jumped down into the tunnel. A gleam of light showed far away for an instant, then the dark ness and silence were complete.
 I ran rapidly over the smooth floor, which I had traversed so often that I knew its every line. My only weapon was a heavy hickory club. Near the Door of Bewilderment I paused and listened. The tunnel was perfectly quiet. took step forward and stun. bled over brick, fumbled on the wall for the opening which we had closed carefully that afternoon, and at the instant I found 1t lantern flashed blindingly in my face and drew back.

Kansas Woodchucks' Holes.

crouching involuntarily, and clenching the club ready to strike.
 Good evening, Mir. Glenarm!"
 Marian Devereux's voice broke the silence, and Marian Devereux's face with the full light of the lantern upon it, was bent gravely upon me. Hei voice, as heard 1t there,-her face, as I saw it there,-are the things that l shall remember last when my hour comes to go hence from this world. Her slim fingers, as they clasped the wire screen of the lantern, held my gaze for a second. The red tam-o' shanter that had associated with her youth and beauty was tilted rakishly on one side of her pretty head. To find her here, seeking, like a thief in the night, for some means of helping Arthur Pickering. was the bitterest drop in the cup. felt as though had been struck with bludgeon.

 She took my hand coolly enough and stepped down into the passage. Then I broke out stormily.
 | You don't seem to understand the gravity of what yoa are doing! Don't you know that you are risking your 1 life In crawling through this house at midnight?-that even to serve Arthur Pickering life is a pretty big thing to throw away?
