at the house, for had made up my mind
to visit the inmates there every day,
knowing how long and dreary the days
must be for them in the darkened house,
and that the child, at least, looked upon
me as protecting friend. Miss Dalrym-
pie was bending over her work with
worn and anxious look upon her sweet
face. Little Laurie started up with
terrified expression In her eyes, as though
she expected to see Lynn Yeames with q
rope in his hand to haul her of TO board

with pleasure when I said:

went out of the room, said:

It seemed to me that If he were III, tho
first thing he would do, being selfish
brute, would be to write and tell his
sweetheart Of his suffering. The moment
man Of this kind feels not up TO the
bullying point, he whines for sympathy. I
considered it much more probable that
Lynn had gone to London to spend some
of his fortune in advance, and escape from
the lugubrious condition Of things at home
whilst his uncle lay dead at Flexmore
House. OF course, kept this belief to
myself; and, promising to drop in again
during the day, left the house, and went
directly to Mrs. Yeames' villa.

U. P. FRANCHISES
HARTMAN ROAD FINALLY Sc.
CURES ENTRY TO CITY
OF SEATTLE,
Ordinances Passed Cover Practically
All Details Asked by Railway Peo-
pie, including Construction Of Tun-
mel Under city-Harriman and Hill
Interests Reach Agreement.

All of the Union Pacific franchise
ordinances and the ordinances vacat-
ing portions of streets in both the
southern and northern portions of the
city as requested by the Hartman
road passed the city council last night
by unanimous vote of those present.
Councilmen Crichton and Armstrong
were absent when the bills were TAX
en- up.
The ordinances passed cover every
detail asked by the Union Pacific in
connection with it's entrance to this
city, providing for the construction of
tunnel to parallel the Hill tunnel
and consolidating the Hartman lands
to be used for dockage, sidings and
switching purposes. In the same con-
nection the Great Northern was grant
ed franchise for service tracks to
reach all of it's property holdings in
the city and one joint user franchise,
in which both the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific are made gran
tees. The last two franchises were
passed as an agreement between the
two conflicting railway interests,
which was entered into for the pur-
pose of eliminating the fight in Which
the two roads have been engaged ever
since the Hartman application to en-
ter Seattle was made two years ago.
Protest Is Entered.
All of the ordinances with the ex-
ception of the bill vacating portions
of streets on the water front between
Smith Cove and Salmon Bay, were
passed without protest. John w. Rob-
erts, representing property owners Of
that section, entered a strong protest
against the passage of the vacation
ordinance.
Councilman Mullen took issue with
Mr.. Roberts, and stated that all of the
objections advanced had been dis
cussed before the committee and the
bills recommended for passage. He
moved that the ordinance be placed on
its final passage, and the bill was
passed by a unanimous vote. The re-
naming ordinances in connection with
the Union Pacific grants were passed
without further discussion.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
bridges which the railroad is required
to build will be in excess of 5000, 900.
All of the bills will reach Mayor
Moore for signature or veto today, and
he has ten days in which to take &C.
action

the shaking I had received l was in nc
mood to refuse.
We went into the sitting room. Laure
was lying on the couch holding the hand
of Miss Dalrymple, who sat on q stool
by her side.

harshly, "and you ought to know it, Ger

Miss Dalrymple looked perfectly amaz-

how soon there should be a breach be-

led him TO make this savage onslaught.

Miss Dalrymple held her hand firmly. The
