While waiting for recognition,
'Stefchen had established himself in a
little room at POI Fifth avenue, which
is now ono Of the galleries of the
Photo-Secession." says February
Century. The turn of his fortune
came with the sale of two or three
OF his oil paintings, and little later
with an exhibition at the Glaenzer
galleries on Fifth avenue, which prov
ed an artistic success, and brought
him to the notice of very discern
ing class Of picture-lovers.
The following year he gave two ex.
-nibitions-one of his paintings and
another Of his prints. OF the former,
seventeen out of twenty-five found
purchasers, and Of the latter some so
per cent of the total exhibits. The
price paid for the individual prints
varied from $50 to $3.50, which, con-
sider1ng the number that were sold,
represented the largest amount vet
paid for Photographic pictures. But

He Had Broken Something.

Mrs. Wilson had a young japanese
servant who had habit of trying to
conceal from his mistress any break
age of dishes of which he CHANGED to
tie guilty. The good lady explained
that it was wicked to deceive, and di-
rected the Japanese to tell her when
ever he broke anything. The boy
promised to do as she advised. One
day, while Mrs. Wilson was entertain
ing some friends in the parlor, the
Japanese suddenly appeared in the
doorway. His teeth. were barred in a
childlike smile and his eyes sparkled
with the light of conscious virtue:
"Meesa Wirson, you terra me, when

She had little chance to lose It
again, for in the next month he was
constantly with her.
One Sunday, two months later. she
was surprised by visit from Crane.
She was at her very best with him
that day, for his eyes had no more
effect upon her than a pair Of pebbles.
It was she who did the talking, he
the listening. Before he went, he
startled her by an offer Of marriage.
In the moment in which she hunted
for words in which to refuse it, she
wondered If Helen also had rejected
him. He refused to accept her mo"
and left almost elated. She felt now
she might be in possession of data
that would assure him of what her
own words evidently could not.
AS matter Of fact she had the
evidence that very night, for Merriam
announced that the firm had decided
on sending him to Goldfelds the next
week. Then he abruptly asked her to
marry him.
She accepted.
"But there are some things want

Japanese Are Heavily Taxed.

1t is held by the Togo Keizai, To.

the Japanese are to-day the most
heavily taxed people in the world.
The estimated expenditure for the cur
rent fiscal year is 616,O00000 yen
($30S, O00,000), which means an an

Olive was beginning to get over her
shyness. Now, occasionally, she
dared to meet his eyes in a pyscholo-
gical, soul-to-soul conflict, which he
often tacitly admitted to be draw by
shifting his gaze.
For the most part, however, he still
did the talking. But even there she
was beginning to assert herself. And
the drollness of her point of view, the
swiftness of her retorts often left him
beggared of words. Once or twice
she had carried joking warfare into
his very camp. That last night their
intimacy had reached the point where
it allowed them to mediate an in
slant in silent wonder over a subtle
coincidence in taste. He interrupted
it to say carelessly: ooh, what's be-
come of that little cousin of yours
that I met in Worcester"
Olive knitted her brows for con-
sidering second. Then an awful GER
tainty zigzagged through the crystal
of her happiness, SCATTERING it to a
million fragments.

"She was staying with you. What is
the matter?"
Olive was staring, stricken.
''Will you tell me what my name

He laughed. "Helen Hastings, of

She pulled herself together. The
new laugh that he had helped her to
find in herself rippled out bravely
"Now I've got It," she said in tri-
umph. "From the first wondered
how you happened to remember me so

EXPECT RATE CUT
Excursion and Convention Rates
Desired by Some Roads To
Prevail Next Summer
NO REDUCTIONS ARE MADE

After an all day debate as to the
to prevail next summer, the Central Pas
senger Association adjourned Yesterday
without reaching an agreement. It is
probable, however, that the fiat 2 cent
rate will be adhered to as far as the
recommendation of the association goes
and that any cutting of rates will come
from the individual roads.
The association has received applica-
tions for reduced convention rates from
the National Educational Association
and from the g. A. R. Any reply
either granting or refusing the l - cent
rate will have to be delayed until the
monthly meeting Of the association in
April.
The rate controversy is largely terri
torial, the railroads of the east and mid
die west, where the 2 cent fare laws
prevail, standing out for the fiat cent
rate, and the roads Of the west declar-
ing the cent fare still in operation
declaring their willingness to make a
lower rate
Eastern roads declare that their rev
enues have been reduced so much by
the cent fare laws that they can make
no reductions in the way Of excursion
rates. They also maintain that the
granting Of lower rate would be an
admission that the cent rate is re-
munerative, point which has been con-
tested many times before tn interstate
commerce commission.
On the other hand, the western roads
are DESTROYS Of granting rates in terri
tory where the cent law has not been
passed by the state legislature, not so
much because they desire to be gener-
Gus but from the fear that if the low
summer rates which have been granted
for number of years are abolished the
state legislatures may retaliate by pass
ing 2 cent fare laws

FELL UNDER A TRAIN
Frank F. Fitzsimmons Thought To
Have Been Fatally Injured
at EIkhart, Ind. Friday
LEG CRUSHED BY ENGINE

Frank F. Fitzsimmons, formerly a well
known man of this city was very seri-
ously if not fatally injured at Elkhart,
Ind, just after nine clock Friday
evening when he was run down by a
train on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad. He is now in the
hospital at ElkAart but it is feared that
his injuries are of such nature that it
is impossible for him to survive.
Mrs. FitZsimmons received word of
the terrible injury to her husband this
morning and in company with her broth
er Frank Murphy, left for Elkhart this
afternoon hoping to be able to reach
the bedside of the injured man by early
this evening. Only minor details of the
accident to Fitzsimmons have been re-
ceived in Kenosha. It is thought that
ut the time of the accident Fitzsimmons
was planning to return to Kenosha. He
was waiting for train for Chicago
when the accident occurred. There
were no eye witnesses to the accident
except the conductor and engineer of
III" train which ran him down. They
stated that Fitzsimmons stepped in
front Of the train. The train was NOV
ing very slowly at the time but the in
jured man was carried on the pilot of
the engine for several rods before the
train could be stopped. The injured
man was unconscious when picked up
and one his legs was so badly crushed
that it is feared that amputation will
be necessary if he survives the shock
Of the accident. AS soon as possible
Fltzsimmons was taken to the General
Hospital at Elkhart and was given
every possible medical attention.
The injured man is widely known
among the union men of Kenosha lie
was member of the Metal PolisLers
Union and some time ago was in charge
OF the Rhode tavern to the south of
the city. He sold his lease at the tav-
ern and went to work at the Badger
Brass Conpany's plant and after the
change there, he worked at the Sim
mons plant for short time. Three
months ago he went to Elkhart in search
OF work and he had since been in that
city. His wife is the only member of
the family.
