CHAPTER XIX.


 The underground engineer went out of the Glebe End gate very thought fully that night He had accustomed himself to believe that nothing he un- dertook could possibly fail. But he was not conscious of any particular progress which his suit had made. He had advanced no farther in the good graces of Vida Bryan than at first. There was some obstacle. He was sure of that--something or somebody he could not put his finger upon. For after taking Phil Calmont into his office to be under his eye, he had not given that rival another thought. He could pretty vel account for every hour of Phil's time, and besides he knew him to be working hard at his new profession.

STOP SUNDAY SELLING =

The city authorities have Instructed
the Chief OF Police to enforce rigidly
the law for Sunday closing. We most
heartily endorse this movement. We
hope this will be stop to all Sunday
selling. 1t is fitting that there should
be one days rest in seven, apart from
all religious consideration. The con-
slant grind in the modern business
world makes it imperative that there
should come periods of rest. Besides
1t is unfair TO the man who in obedi-
ence to the law closes his Establishment
while his neighbor continues to 20
ahead with the selling of goods. We
do not believe drug stores, or for that
matter, any other stores, should be
allowed to sell cigars, tobacco. soda
water and such articles on Sunday. Lei
them sell medicine only. Then Leg
them go home and rest II a mg "

We commend the authoritiest

President FinIey's Plea.

Washinton, March 27.-President
w. w. Finley, OF the Southern rail
way, made plea today for harmony
between the people and the railroads.
In an interview he said:
Not only do | believe that it is to
the interest OF the railroads and the
people that spirit of harmony and
cooperation and OF fair and lust deal
ing should be fostered, but | believe
that in the present state OF affairs it is
the patriotic duty of every man to con-
tribute his utmost toward bringing
about these better relations. The fu-
ture prosperity OF the Comfy depends
IN large measure upon the correct
solution OF the transportation problem
lhe railways shoul treat every
purchaser OF transportation with ius-
tice and fairness and the people should
be equally just and fair to the roads.
When differences arise they should be
discussed freely and frankly, and every
endeavor should be made to settle them
in accordance with fair business prin-
ciples. Under such conditions there
would be little need OF statute laws for
the regulation Of the purchase and sale
OF transportation and few occasions
would arise for appeals to state and
Federal commissions"
