NE cold winters evening two men
were talking earnestly in a private
- room belonging to certain restau-
rant just off Soho.
that was precisely the reason why Ferdi-
nand Horiey chose it.. Its owner was not
his aid in a transaction that many honest
men would have turned their backs upon:
Now, you have only to do your part"
observed Ferdinand Horley, who possessed
long, thin face, weak eyes, and general
stiffness of manner.
81 believe l have thought Of everything:
the way, Stiles. Any witness would ruin
the whole thing. And my cousin Julian is
an mpressionable sort of fellow-a veri-
table fool, you might say. l only want him
to quarrel with me, do you see? I'll provide
cause enough, trust me. But any woman
mixed up in the business would spoil the
whole concern"
Mark Stiles nodded, as he curled his
carefully waxed moustache.
His client was paying him a very stiff
price for his share in the matter-that is,
If it was successful And the price was
quite large enough to justify his closing his
restaurant to the general public for one
day. What mattered 1t if he chose to give
his employees holiday and superintend
hands? True, there was his daughter
Clara; but he could send her to spend the
evening with some neighbors.
"I'll see to everything, Mr.. Horley; you
may trust me- Nothing shall interfere with
your plans
And, analysed, they seemed simple
enough, savoring of hospitality and a wish
to do honour to his young cousin Julian,
who had just succeeded to the family es-
tate in Suffolk at the death Of his father.
Ferdinand Horley was his first cousin, and
in the event of such a contingency happen
ing-namely, that Julian should die without
heirs-the estate would pass to himself:
Ferdinand, being a man about town.,
not rich, but fairly comfortable in circum-
stances, was anxious that his cousin should
not spend lonely time any longer in his

The management of tho Southern rail-

or the board of directors. 1t applies with
equal obligations. in his sphere of action,
to the humblest employee as it does to the
highest. Each has his duty to perform,
and in the performance OF that duty he
represents the railway and is engaged in
the performance of trust in respect to
it. The brakeman cannot perform the
presidents duty, nor can the president
perform the Trademarks. Each must do
honest and faithful performance of duty

of success.
The railway and the public are entitled
to the very best that Is in our employees,
from the highest to the lowest-that are
both entitled to demand that there shall
be no lulSewarm or llmled service, but
that the heart of our employees shall be
In their work All of us have voluntarily
undertaken a duty in respect to this prop

faithful performance.

recognize that he is Identified with the
railway and will earnestly and honestly
work for it's welfare. Only in this way can
we successfully administer the trust which
has been conhded to us.

FOOD QUESTION
Settled With Perfect Satisfaction by
!, Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
hhe members of the family at meal time
Rs every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspepsia
and can't eat the simplest ordinary food
without causing trouble, the food ques-
Tion becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
MY husbands health was poor; he had
mo appetite for anything L could get for
him, 1t seemed.
He was hardly able to work, was TAX
ang medicine continually, and as soon as
he would feel better would go to work
again, only to give up in few weeks.
He suffered severely with stomach trou-
BILE.
Tired of everything l had been able
TO get for him to eat, one day seeing an
advertisement about Grape-Nuts, l got
some for him to try for breakfast the
pext morning.
1--WE all thought 1t VISA pretty good, al
Hhough we had no idea of using 1t regu-
darby. Blu. when my husband came home
at night he asked for Grape-Nuts
1T was the same next day, and had
TO get it right along, because when we
would get to the table the question, Have
you any Grape-Nuts?' was a regular
thing. So began to buy 1T by the dozen
packages.

COUNTRY CLUB TO
DECIDE ON LEASE
Runor Says If Lease is Extended the
Assessments on Members May
+. Be Increased.

There will be meeting of the Country
club next Thursday night to act on the
matter of leasing the golf course for
another term of years at a much larger
rent than is paid now. The matter was
before the board of directors recently, and
u majority of the board favored cancelling
the present lease and making a new one
for longer term of years, increasing the
annual rent considerably.
There is strong opposition to the move
pnent, and it was strenuously opposed by
a member of the board, who stated that
he desired the matter to go before the club
before he would sign the new lease, and
10 allow the club members to decide it.
Rumors have been floating around
among some of the members that the dues
would be raised If the new lease is signed,
and this is creating a great deal of talk,
Especially among a number of the younger
smembers.

CONSULT ABOUT
CAR SITUATION
Big Shippers Have Protested Against
Slowness of Moving Products
Out of Birmingham.

J. NJ Culp, vice president and traffic
manager of the Southern railway, will
be in Birmingham today to consult with
some of the large shippers in regard to
the car situation.
There has been much complaint on the
shortage of cars from the Birmingham
district, and all the big shippers have
protested. This is ESPECIALLY true of the
iron producing companies which are seek
tng to get their old stock on the yards
moved before the increase of % cents
per ton goes into effect on March 3.
There have been quite a number OF
Southern railway people here within the
past two or three days. p. L. MeManus.

board in the afternoon; w. II. Wells.

day; J. N. Scale master of transportation,
is in the city, and there is a slight possi-
bility that C. II. Ackert, vice president
and general manager, will be here today.
Some mail has been addressed to him in
Birmingham, indicating that he was ex-
pected here.
There was a conference yesterday morn
Ing of representatives of several railroads
in the office of T. F. Brooks, superintend-

stove wood for 90 cents, spent the nights
with a good woman, and then thought of
home and something to eat
He says that she gave them enough
money TO buy their tickets, they repented

In a mystical riot on a Powderly car
last night a negro woman was fatally
injured and another negro, Charley San
ders, seriously hurt. How, why or what
caused the trouble seems to be only
known by the spirits.
The motorman reported that he was
moving along rapidly with big crowd Of
negroes in the front part of the car, when
confusion started on the inside. and a
big fat woman came rushing past, wild
eyed, and threw herself from the car.
Following her was negro man who
pitched himself out head foremost and
by this time the motorman had brought
the car nearly to a stop, while all of the
occupants began to pile off.

Negroes in frenzy Jump
from Fast N0bing Car

None of them seemed to know what
was the matter Sanders said 1.-THE car
was falling down on our heads, and |
wanted to get out" A few of the negroes
who were standing around are said to
have refused to talk, and there is some
suggestion of fight having started the
riot. Another solution is that the fuse
blew out, frightening the occupants.
The ambulance of Shaw q Son carried
the injured to a hospital. The negro
woman is reported to be dying, and is UNI
known. Sanders suffered a confusion on
the skull but will survive. The white pass
sengers did not become alarmed, but dis
mounted to ascertain the trouble and
after a half hours delay the car service
was continued.
