NOT A MIRACLE.

There are some quite remarkable

seem almost miraculous.

relief in changing from coffee to Pos

Guy hurried back with quick, inn
patient steps to the Pullman, where
negroes dropped carpeted steps, in
time to see the one for whom he
waited emerge, calm and immaculate
as usual, but with such a gladness of
welcome in her eyes that he could
barely resist taking her into his arms.
Time might drag, but it always found
her unchanged. In sudden awkward
ness he took her lighter luggage and
wrap and walked with her to the exit
of the noisy station, finding all his
carefully formulated sentences for

than saying anything himself.
Almost the first question she asked
him was of the war; and at this he felt
a tinge of disappointment. 1t was too

She did not respond, but seemed
almost to have forgotten him in her
reverie and contemplation of his
words. Nor did she express surprise
and interest when he gave her a seat
in the brougham which waited for
them beside the station gates. Not

Everyone had looked at one another
Understandings and smiled when the
eminent scientist and inventor had
been led into the room. Guy, craning
his neck in a sudden desire to see this
entry, had a confused picture of a
man with a shock of white hair and
long eyebrows, from beneath which
glared eyes of great restlessness, and
also remembered that the dress suit
which had caused so much worry was
stained with freshly spilled chemicals,
and that even as he came the inventor
was furtively wiping pair of grimy
hands on his handkerchief. But it was
not the man nor the suppressed tit
tiers of laughter that he recollected
BEST it was the girl who escorted
him.
She came leading her father by the
arm, the daintiness of her costume
enhanced by the marks Of the work
shop on his coat. She walked smiling

with head thrown back, and making
no apologies. Had 1t not been for the
conversation at the door, overheard
within the room, none would have
supposed that she wished a more cere-
monious appearance. She challenged
with her eyes as she passed her
guests, and to Killers surprise, bound
in conventionality as he always had
been, it suddenly seemed that in all

Then came that later hour when he

New Haven Road Planning to
No Longer Recognize Them,
It Is Said.
CONFERENCE IS CALLED
All the Employees Alleged TO BE Will

Recognition.

The blow to the mechanics in the em-
ploy of the New Haven road, which
The Journal-Courier predicted some
time ago, came yesterday when the
unions were informed that the road
would terminate its agreements with
them. The notices do not state when
It is generally believed to be June
or at least not later than the middle
Of the month.
No explanation Of the stand taken by
the road Is given, but 1t Is generally
believed that the road will no longer
recognize the unions as such, and will
insist on the piece work wage scale
which It tried to have adopted some
time ago. The employees Of the road say
that when the officers Of their unions
have called upon the officers of the
road, there has been no disposition on
the part of the officials TO talk over
the matters with the union represent
atves. This has given rise to consider
able alarm on the part Of union mon
who think that it is particularly dam
gerous In time when so many mon
are out of work, not to have the un-
ions recognized,
A conference has been arranged for
the near future between the officers Of
the different unions and some plan Of
action will be decided upon At the
present time with industrial conditions
as they are the men say that they are
willing to call out every union man in
the employ of the road in general
strike.
