CHAPTER XIV,
Hearts Revealed.


Phineas ''delivered his goods" and
the historic Sacramento Valley rail-
road, the first bit Of track on the Pa
cific coast, the iron link that proved
TO be the undoing OF the spurious San
Francisco & Washoe railroad dropped
mysteriously into the hands Of the
Central Pacific company.
The opposition, defeated, yet never
dead still cried Wolf" But no cry
was loud enough to futter the brave
men at Sacramento. Only nature and
the nations extremities could retard
them now. And against these enc
mics in the open, officers and en-
ployes, down to the humblest took
heart of grace and charged again the
rocky ramparts of the Slerras
When the angel of death swept
down in the breath of the powder flash
upon James Sackett, an unborn child
was blighted. 1t came later to it's
birth, only to sigh and pass to the
care of him who rules life and two
eternities. Through weary weeks the
mother fingered, unaroused to conva-
lescence by hope or by skill of ply
sicians. The warm frontier heart of
the town watched and sorrowed with
her, cheerfully adding the burden to
their laden shoulders; supplying all
possible comfort and every obtaina BILE
luxury
Stella. regularly attentive in the
sickroom, reported daily to Alfred.
His humble berth of extra brakeman
had brought his sleeping hours in the
little town. left his evenings free For
several weeks he had devoted these
to planning a benefit for Mrs. Sackett
that was to invade jointly the do
mains of Thalia, Polyhymnia and
Terpsichors.
For days Stella and Viola had toiled
at the tasks Alfred set them. Details,
as well as most of the mems parts,
rested on Alfred, for men were too
busy or too bashful for play acting"
He had chosen short extracts from one
Or two popular plays and planned a
couple of charades representing local
interests. He had drilled Viola in the
rendering of some songs and boy
Or two in recitation. But the ambi-
tious part of the performance was to
be two scenes from Romeo and
Juliet"
Under Alfred's tuition Stella discov-
cred different Shakespeare from her
fathers pompous poet. Stella walked
on air. Weight seemed to leave her
body. Sleep and food were no longer
necessities. All day she longed for
evening; all night dreamed it over
again. She was journeying the old,
old rose-path, believing herself dis
coverer! -z.
On the morning OF the day Of days
Gideon returned from his long alb
sence. Stella knew nothing of his
wanderings save the little told in his
1nfrequent letters; and she was quite
unprepared for the Gideon who pre-
sented himself before her. The change
she saw in him was mysterious, al
most uncanny. Something about him,
his clothes, his bow, his voice, an at
mosphere she could neither define nor
unders Eand, made her feel as II char
acter before unknown had stepped out
OF book to meet her She was glad
there was no time for him, that she
could plead the pressure OF work for
the evening.
He had hardly gone when Vic W;.a

Analysis Of one Of Bryan's Mysterious
MouthinRs.
New York Sun

new .1oIk sun
One OF the most mysterious OF MIR.
Bryan's demagogisms Is HE equitable re-
ward theory. What can anybody make.
what more than mere vague potter can be
made. out Of these Labor day remarks OF
his at Chicago; t4e
one Of the great problems OF today is to
secure an equitable distribution Of the pro-
ceeds OF toll. When men work together
the army organization applies to some de.
gree; that is, some direct, others are di-
rected. The difficulty has been to divide
the results fairly between the captains OF
industry and the privates In the ranks. As
the dividing r. done largely by the captains,
IL Is not unnatural that they should magnify
their part and appropriate too large a
share; neither is IL unnatural that there
should be complaint on the part of the toll
ers who think that their recompense is in
sufficient.
The labor question. therefore, as Il presents
itself at this time Is chiefly n question OF
distribution, and the legislation asked for Is
legislation which will secure to each that
to which his services entitle him. As legis-
lation is secured through the ballot every
one should use the ballot to obtain the legis-
lation necessary. The democratic platform
presents the Ideal toward which the demo
cratic party Is striving, namely Justice IN
the distribution OF rewards. TIT demooratc
party proclaims that each individual should
receive from society a reward for his toll
commensurate with his contribution to the
welfare of society. and unless some other
party can do the work better the democratic
party ought to have the support OF all,
whether they belong to the wage earning
class or occupy positions In which they d.
rect the efforts Of others.
How ls Mr.. Bryan to enable each indt-
vldual to receive a reward commensurate
with his contribution, and how are the con-
tributions 70 be measured? Suppose a
democratic congress is In session. What
will Mr.. Bryan ask It to do for the under
paid workmen, or as his orotund style puts
Il. the toilers who think that their recon-
pense is nsu'ficIent"-and who doesn'tf
Should there be a statute of employers,
compelling them to pay as the minimum

SOMETHING coon FROM RIO.
Novel Public Device for Increasing
the Efficiency OF the Police.

Novel Public Device for ~Incrcastng
the Efficiency OF the Police.
Here is a useful hint, designed to in-
crease the efficiency OF policemen. 1t comes
ali the way from the go-ahead city OF Rio
dc Janeiro, Brazil, which can teach us a
thing or two in other matters also.
Rio de Janeiro has recently rebuilt itself.
mostly under the auspices of German ex-
pertH. The authorities have now installed
a police contrivsnce which in complete
ness and extensiveness is quite unique. Five
hundred and eighty OF these police alarms
lave been placed in the streets OF Rio.
Every inhabitant can buy 4 key for the
alarm in order to call for police help. Inn
mediately he turns the key In the keyhole
q bell lie released which SHOWS the number
OF the alarm At the nearest police station.
The number Ia recorded by a registering
apparatus on a strip Of paper and the time
Immediately stamped. At the same moment
also the official is warned by a bell and a
glowing lamp. These ali work entirely auto
matically.
AS soon as the number has been ascer-
tanned ar official has then to commune
cate with the nearest police post by means
Of a very ingeniously constructed machine
allowing the placing OF all number from 4
TO loo. These posts, forty In number, are
distributed ali over the town as police sta
lions, and are guarded by six men. The
nearest post to the alarm from which the
signal has come is warned by a sonorous
bell, and the men at once dash to the spot.
So the whole process is as follows: The
number is reported electrically, an auto
matte apparatus records the call. while a
second instrument enables the official to
communicate with the area affected. The
entire operation only takes a few seconds,
30 that the police can be on the spot in
two minutes. This system 10 about to be
adopted in Berlin. 1t has substantially
raised the public safety In Rio, the newly
constructed boulevards and esplanades of
which have completely transformed this
marvelously placed city. The average mar
in this country finds It difficult TO realize
how thoroughly civilized Rio is despite the
occasional revolts In that part of the world.

THE BoUyriFUL HARVEST

The excessively warm weather OF the
early days of September has furnished
the one element necessary to insure
one OF the greatest crops in the nations
history Weather conditions have
been eminently favorable for the
threshing on the wheat belt, the hay
ing and the ripening OF the corn,
which, in many sections. was several
weeks late, owing to the wet weather
which delayed planting in the spring.
All indications now are that the corn
Is safely out Of danger from frost and
will show a yield OF 1880, 600, 900
bushels, something below the returns
of 1906 and 1905. but far above the
ten year average.
The wheat crop is beyond the esti-
mate stage. Returns indicate a total
yield of winter and spring wheat OF
100000 bushels. or $4,000, 900
bushels In excess OF last year and a
yield that has been exceeded but three
times in the decennial period. The sup
ply of wheat left over from last year
is considerably below the stock usually
on hand at this time of the year, and
the small yield in foreign wheat rails
ing countries furnishes a certainty
that the price will rule high this year.,
owing 90 the increased demand for
export. The price of wheat is already
much higher than in 1901 and 1909,
the record breaking years in this
country.
The harvesting and marketing of
these crops will necessarily give the
United States a tremendous credit ac-
count with foreign countries because
Europe must depend upon this country
for an immense stock of food supplies.
