A Curious Phenomenon

BREAKFAST was usually served at nine o'clock
- precisely at Tudor Hundreds. At nine o'clock
precisely Maurice entered the breakfast room. The
table bare.
He rang the bell which was answered not by the
butler but by a footman.
Why IS breakfast not ready"
Ii YOU please. Mr.. Maurice"
There is Mr. Maurice here now" The inter-
ruption curt and cold " Did Boncini imagine
that one going to eat to-day: Let the meal
be ready in half an hour exactly. And inform Mr.
Berger
Certainly, sir"
What struck the footman was that the formidable
Italian chef, who posed artist, and had in
variably been treated such Summarilv
described as Boncni.' Not Signor Boncini' Not
servants hall hummed to the definite news that the
dark eyed, dark haired master OF the Hundreds was
already showing his mettle and that his fathers
decisvenesS, without his fathers suavity, might be
expected
Maurice and Emile Berger breakfasted alone to-
gether eating little of the meal, whose perfection
proved that Signor Boncni was anxious not to lose
a post worth two thousand a year and all found.
Lady Mary was PROSTATE IN bed, and MilliCent had
charge of her. The two young men talked as spar
ingly they ate discussing merely what necessary
formal things arranged and what remained
to be done.
Less than five hours had elapsed since the discov-
cry OF the murder and already an astounding trans
formation had occurred in Maurice. From dreamer

NEW ENGLAND PINS
". ]. BRYAN DOWN
Approves of Federal and
State Control.

New England conservatism wants to
Pin William Jennings Bryan down to a
more exact statement of his ideas about
Government ownership of railroads, and
10 some extent has succeeded. Mr..
Bryan has written a letter to Henry NJ
whitney of Boston, IN which with
rather more detail than heretofore he
has declared his policy. 1t is doubtful
If what he writes viii entirely satisfy
the New England mind.
Mr.. Whitney asked Mr.. Bryan this
question:
Whether in your judgment there is
any danger of regulation being carried
TO a point preventing a reasonable re
turn on money invested in the railroads
Of the country. and whether in case Of
adoption of Government ownership by
the nation or by the several States, the
stockholders could expect TO receive a
price equal 10 the value OF the physical
railroad prOperties2"
The question itself viii be regarded
as remarkable, and IL suggests a line
OF possible demarkation between the
Democrats ana the Republicans on the
future develop Of railroad reSula-
ton programs.
Mr.. Bryans reply is especially inn
pcrtant, IN view OF the way the question
was framed by Mr. Whitney. he said
in part:
Il am in favor Of both national and
State regulations, and I also believe
that public ownership Is the ultimate
solution OF the railroad question.
This, however. is not an immediate
question; at least I am not sure that
the people are ready 20 consider the
question of public ownership, and until
they are ready TO consider that ques-
Jion, the interest is centered in regu-
latiOn. As an advocate OF regulation
of the strictest sort, ] can say 10 you
that there is no danger whatever that
this regulation Will be carried 20 the
point Of preventing a reasonable return
on money invested in the railroads Of
the country.
When the value Of the roads is as
certained, I am satisfied that public SEN
timent viii insist that the returns shall
be sufficient 10 pay a reasonable dividend
upon the money invested. What this
dividend should be. il might be difficult
