1t at least served to occupy his
thoughts, and this was something.
Since the cutoff had been built most
long distance travellers took the short
route. But the state authorities had
demanded that II through car each
way be run on the old main line, and
because the other sleepers were crowd
ed Val Clifton had taken a berth in the
other car. Most Of the traffic was
short hauis in the day coaches, and he
missed having company on the first
day out.

commotion behind the hanging curtains
suggested that the unknown was get

dress. There were dimples in her
cheeks, and Clifton rose and strolled
forward.

Clifton glanced down the car at the
last section. Somehow it irritated him.
Last night the chap who had that sec
ton had beaten him at penuchle. He
might find diversion and revenge IL the
sleepyhead would only tumble out and
recognize the fact that it was broad
daylight.
The night before the car had been
well filed. All through the night they
had dropped off at the way stations.
and Clifton thought viciously Of the
man in his section who had stepped on
his face in climbing down from the up
per berth about 8 o'clock. So far this
morning he had the sleeper to himself,
save for the occupant of section 16.
He finished the breakfast that had
been served from the buffet and stroll
ed down the ear Reaching through
the curtains, he gave the shoulder a
shake. "Wake up, old man." he shout
ed. "Your alarm clocks broken, l
guess"
There was a muf1ed feminine shrek,
and the porter came dashing around
the corner from his tiny kitchen.
"Wafor you wake dat lady" he de-
manded. "You all amt got no right to
wake a lady dataway."
""There was a man went to bed in
there" exclaimed Clifton. "How was
I to know that he wasn't there yet?"
"Dat gemman yo' done play cards
wifi las night" demanded the porter.
"He done get off at Falls Crossin' bout
leben. Dis hyer lady done come on
bode bout two hours ago. She shuah
am sleepy"
'Tell her I'm sorry" commanded
Clifton, backing away. II was lone
some, and I thought I'd rout that chap
out. I'm awfully sorry"
He went back to his own section, and
the porter, Modified by the bill slipped
into his hand, made full explanation
to the unseen occupant.
Clifton settled himself savagely in
his seat and fixed his eyes On the
berth. He wondered what the woman
might look like. Her voice suggested
that she was young. More than that

The girl bowed her willingness. and
the two men filed sheepishly out of the

METEOR OVER LONG ISLAND.

New York, Aug. 19.-All out OF
doors at Amagansett, Long Island,
were startled last evening when they
heard terrific roar, and at the same
time saw a blazing mass shooting
across the heavens over the ocean,
apparently only little way out from
shore.
The kissing roar which was emitted
from the rapidly moving molten ball
was deafening as it sped through the
air. The blazing object appeared to
many to be about 20 feet in diameter.
Those who witnessed the sight say the
meteor-for such it was-must have
weighed several tons.
When it struck the ocean it caused
an upheaval of the waters. Hugh
breakers came tumbling ashore. Sew
eral bathing pavilions were washed
away and fishcrman's nets were bat
tered from their moorings, while con-
siderable damage was caused to prop
erty along the ocean front.
Great numbers of dead fish were
swept ashore.

A Mist0ka Corrected.

It is a mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medicln> IS,
because the stomach is not always out OF
order when the liver is, or vica versa.
While it is true that these organs are so
closely related that when one is affected
the other is likely to be also, still there
are times when one is affected and the
other is not. 1t is serious error to
give a liver medicine combined with a
stomach medicine when the stomach only
needs treatment, and it is not necessary
to treat the stomach when the liver only
is disordered. Rydale's method is the
most sensible one. He does not combine
the two, but makes tablet for the
stomach and tablet for the liver, which
can be combined if necessary. Guaran-
teed by DR.. James K. Waters.

AGREEMENT EFFECTED.
Aldermen and W., F. & G. Il. K. Go.
Come to Terms.

Aldermen and W., F. & G. Il. K. Co.
Come to Terms.
At special meeting of the Board OF
Aldermen Monday night, the controversy
over the running of a steam engine on
the track of the Washington, Frederick
and Gettysburg Railway Co., and the
changing of the track at certain points
OH Fourth street, was settled by COM
promise, under the terms of which the
railway company is given the right to
use the engine for construction and other
purposes for period of 80 days, but is
required to make the changes in the
grade of the track within 80 days.
This agreement was reached after a
somewhat stormy discussion of the ques-
tions involved in the controversy. DR..
Franklin B. Smith, treasurer OF the rail-
way company, was the chief spokesman
in it's behalf, Mr.. Charles Wortheimer,
the company's vice president, also being
present. A number of residents OF
Fourth street were present, with Mr..
William P. Maulsby as their attorney.
A disposition was manifested early in
the meeting to waive the objections to
the use of the engine, provided the rail-
way company would agree to have the
changes in the grade of the track made
promptly. Itwas first proposed to grant
the company the right to use the engine
for construction purposes only, but DIR.
Smith objected to this, saying that the
company denied the city's right to pre-
vent the use of the engine for construct
ion purposes, and asked that it be per-
mitted to use the engine for all purposes.
This was agreed to, but hitch arose
over the limit of time to be allowed for
making the changes in the track.
Alderman Wilcoxon moved that the
time limit be fixed at 80 days. On this
motion Alderman Wilcoxon and Fraley
voted "aye" and Alderman Gambrill and
and Hahn voted mo" Alderman Low
enstein, who presided as acting mayor,
decided the question by voting "aye,
explaining that he thought that it was
to the best interest of all parties con-
cerned that he should do so.
An agreement to have the track fixed
within so days was signed by DR.. Smith
and Mr.. Wertheimer. News.
