<<~ UTH! Ruth! Where are

IN Inslee's voice was shrill
with fear. Something
must have happened For the first
time in months, Ruth had not met
him at the door With her evening
kiss. The house seemed strangely
silent and deserted.
He called again, and this time in
answer the trim little maid appear

said, offering note. "She left this
for you.''
Inslee clutched at the envelope
and tore 1t open. Only few lines!
His active brain had grasped them
in an instant.
She had gone away. His absorp-
ton in business had cost him her
love. He sank into a chair and
bowed his head upon his hands. The
little maid brought him some brandy
but he pushed it away.
II don't need that" he said,
hoarsely. When did Mrs. Inslee
go?"
Early this morning She took
two trunks with her."

1t was raining cats and dogs out

find something romantic in the situa-

and wrote:
But for your being camped here

the storm will last all night?"
Burt wrote in reply that they
were college boys passing month

new PENSION
SYSTEM FOR B. & 0.
Major PangbOFn Completing
Preliminary Drafts Of
Ills Work

Within a couple OF weeks Il IS prob
able that the preliminary drafts Of the
new pension system which the BaIti-
more and Ohio win eventually put
into effect viii be In the hands of
President Murray
The Baltimore and Ohio was the
first railroad company IN the United
States to adopt pension system.
which was in 1884 Tho plan was quito
different from those usually followed
now and was originally on "a small
scale. Il was based on four-year MEM
borship in the company's relief depart
ment, the pension feature being an
auxiliary In 1900 the company in
creased the annual appropriation for
pensioning from $25 900 TO $4,000, which
with an available emergency fund OF
$4,000, make $4,000 a year az disposal
for pensioning If st be needed. Re-
tirement IS at 60 years OF age. with
at least 10 years service required.
A number OF railroads followed the
example of the Baltimore ana Ohio
and inaugurated pension systems. In
a general way the object of these sys-
TENS IS TO provide for compulsory or
involuntary retirement from service at
Go or 20 years Of age, and voluntary
retirement, consequent upon perma-

Another step necessary was 10 find
out what other roads have done in the
matter of pensloning thcir employees.
Data was collected from them and
their plans carefully studied and COM
pared.
Then came tho work Of drafting the
plans. Not only has Major Pangborn
worked out TO the smallest detail q

evolved two other systems as well, so
that when tho directors of the road
