He paused and sighed. And q man
like you would sell himself for f2O0!
What pity! Have you really decided
to break with me?"

A coward at heart, he had fortified
his spirits with liberal stimulant,
and now, at the sting of ridicule, which
CALLED him in tender spot, he became
rather q dangerous rascal. Whom the
gods destroy they first make drunk.
and the besotted Bills went sullenly to
his doom.
"Look 'erew he cried. you told me
once you wouldn't stand no nonsense.
No more will /. You got my offer-two

'No, Woolsey," said Richard, calmly
drawing on his boot, ~ won't"
Bills scowled at him angrily and
turned toward the door. He was drunk
enough to put his threat into execu-
ton, and well Richard knew that such
an exposure would be a deathknell to

"Waitw
At the sharp command the valet
turned suddenly; then his master
changed his tone and continued in an
even voice: miss Renwyck is dressing
Cor ride with me, and at present you
can't see her. She will probably be
down In twenty minutes. after which
you may do as you like and be hanged

obliged If you would get me that small
bottle of machine oil on the closet
shelf; then find me q piece Of soft
white rag"
The valet wanted to refuse, but his
servants training, together with GER
tain compelling something in Richards
eye, enforced obedience. He brought
one of Lord Croyland's handkerchiefs
from the bureau drawer and laid II
with the bottle of machine oil on a
table in the center of the room. Rich
ard thanked him, seated himself again
and began tearing the handkerchief in
to narrow strips, while Bills stood
watching him, his human curiosity be-
ginning to get the better even Of his
anger.

HAS JURISDICTION


kansas City, March 31.--Judge Smith
Mcpherson in the Federal Court here
today, decided that he has full juris-
diction over both the. maximum freight
rate and the 2 cent passenger fare
cases in Missouri. II other words. he
holds in favor of the railroads and
against the State on the question Of
Jurisdiction.
Last year the Legislature passed the
2 cent law and minimum freight law
reducing freight rates about rs per
cent. All Of the main line railroads
in Missouri Joined In an application
for an Injunction last June from the
Federal Court at Kansas City to pre-
vent the State oficials from enforcing
the laws. Meantime a truce was ar
ranged between the railroads and the
Attorney General under which the
roads were t. put the 2 cent law in
force.
The freight rate law was first passed
in 1908 and fixed rates on. many COM
modities in carload lots on a cent a
mile basis The enforcement of that
law was tied up by the Federal Court
and a master to the testimony to de-
termine the fairness OF the rates. In
1907. with the csae still pending the
Legislature passed new law with
more reasonable rate schedules for
live stock. The railroads went into
court with an amendment to their first
bill. enjoining the enforcement of the
old law. They asked the court to en-
Join the new freight rate law because
passenger earnings are involved in the
same class. with freight earnings In
making up the total receipts.
Attorney General Hadley fought the
amendment. denying the right of the
Federal Court to enjoin him or inter.
fene with the enforcement of a GRIM
inal statute. The roads agreed to give
the 2 cent law test for three months
and asked Judge McPhefson to give
them that much time to show the law
would affect their revenues.
For seven months the railroads have
sold tickets at 2 cents. Now comes
the court with decision holding thai
In enjoining the State offlcers. he IL
not enJoining the State itself; that he
has a perfect right to go into the
question. of whether the ratee fixed by
the statutes are .remuneratfye. 81

was rendered. that he dit not know
