How are your His voice was sharp, crisp and louder than the occasion seemed to demand but 1t was natural with him. Years of life in an engine cab do not serve to mellow the tone of the human voice and the habit is too strong to be over come. There was no polish to the tones as they issued from David Ca. ble's lips. He spoke with more than ordinary regard for the queens Eng fish, but it was because he never had neglected 1t. It was characteristic of the man to do thing as nearly right as he knew how in the beginning and to do it the same way until better method presented itself.
 "Very well, thank you. MT. Cable, except that Jane has been abusing me because you were not here to-
 Don't you believe a word he says dad" she cried.

 R/ noon In the late fall that pretty Miss Cable drove l HM up in her trap and waited at the curb for her father N to come forth from his of flee in one of Chicago's tallest build ings. The crisp. caressing wind that came up the street from the lake put the pink into her smooth cheeks, but it did not disturb the brown hair that crowned her head. Well groomed and graceful, she sat straight and sure upon the box. her gloved hand grasping the yellow reins firmly and confidently Miss Cable looked neither to right nor to left. but at the tips of her thorough bred's ears Slender and tall and very aristocratic she appeared, her profile alone visible to the passersby.
 After very few moments waiting in her trap the smart young woman became impatient. A severe little pucker settled upon her brow, and no once, but many times, her eyes turne to the broad entrance across the side walk. She had telephoned to her fa- ther earlier in the afternoon, and he had promised faithfully to be ready at 4 o'clock for spin up the drive behind Spartan. At three minutes past tue pucker made its first appearance, and now, several minutes later, it was quite distressing. Never before had he kept her waiting like this. She was con- scious of the fact that st least a hun dred men had stared at her in the long est ten minutes she had ever known From the bottom of very hot heart she was beginning to resent this scru- tiny when a tall young fellow swung around nearby corner and came up with a smile so full of delight that the dainty pucker left her brow as the shadow fees from the sunshine. His hat was off and poised gallantly above his head, his right hand reaching up to clasp the warm little tan one out stretched to meet it.
 'T knew it was you long before saw you." said he warmly.
 Truly? How Interestingly she re- sponded, with equal warmth. Some thing psychic in the atmosphere to- day"
 "Oh. no." he said, Reluctantly releas- ing her hand "I can't see through

 Simplest thing in the world. Rigby told me he had seen you and that you seemed to be in great rage He dared me to venture into your presence. and that's why I'm here."
 "What a hopelessly commonplace ex- planation! Why did you not leave me to think that there was really some thing psychic about it? Logic is so discourag!ng to ones conceit I'm in a very disagreeabe humor today" she said. in fine despair.
 'I don't believe it." he disputed gra- ciously.
 'But am." she insisted, smiling brightly. His heart was leaping high so high that it filled his eyes. Every thing has gone wrong with me today. It's pretty trying to have to wait in front of big office building fer fifteen minutes. Every instant 1 expect a po- liceman to come up and order me to move on. Don't they arrest people for blocking the street?"

------ with a shovel in lOcO- motive cab usually has something of that sort to look back upon. There are no roses along the pathway he has traversed. In the end. perhaps. he wonders if it has been worth while. David Cable was a general manager. He had been a fireman. It had required twenty-five years of hard work on his part to break through the chrysalis. Packed away in a chest upstairs in his house there was grimy. greasy. un- wholesome suit of once blue overalls. The garments were just as old as his railroad career, for he had worn them on his first trip with the shovel. When his wife implored him to throw away the "detestable things" he said. with characteristic humor. that he thought be would keep them for a rainy day. It was much simpler to go from gen. eral manager to fireman than vice versa. and 1t might be that he would need the suit again. It pleased him to hear his wife sniff conten1ptuously.
 David Cable had been a wayward, vcnturesome youth. His father and mother had built their hopes high with him as founda tion. and he had proved decidedly insecure basis. for one night in the winter of 1863 he stole away from his home in New York. Before spring he was fighting in the far southland, a boy of sixteen carry ing a musket in the service of his country.

GRAND LIST RETURNS
Show Increases in Land Values and
Personal Property.

Montpelier, Oct. 1.--Grand list re-
turns for the year 1909 from all the
towns and cities in Vermont have
been received at the Office of the Hon
Guy W. Bailey, secretary of state In
one particular only two towns are
remiss in that they have not reported
any offsets. These towns are Groton
in Caledonia county and Waterville
in Lamoille county.
The totals for the state show 5,24S,-
ass acres of taxable land with an APP
praised valuation of $141, 929051. The
personal property listed for taxation
aggregates $43.9S7,747 and the total
offsets are $31,S92,11S The total
number of polls is 92,57S. These fig
ures as compared with those of 1908
make an increase in land valuation
Of 1887, 104 and an increase of per
sonal property $527,7S9. In the same
period the total offsets have decreas-
ed S360,431 and the number of polls
has increased by sos.
As regards personal property these
figures show that while this class of
wealth has increased one-and-two
tenths per cent, offsets have decreas-
Nu Ouc anu thirteen HuHuT6uIlS per
cent. This argues that listers On the
whole, tax-dodging through the Offset
privilege is decreasing slightly rather
than increasing.
If the number of polls as compared
with the number in the last census
year, 1900, may indicate the growth
In population since that date, then the
present population of the state should
represent an increase over the popu-
lation of 1900 of six and a half per
cent Such an increase would give
Vermont present population of $685.
149. or an increase of 22,50S since the
last census. If the increase has been
as large as this, 1t exceeds every ten
year increase since the period be-
tween 1920 and 1880, il being slightly
in excess Of the growth between 1910
and 1850 II will be interesting to
see when the results of the census to
be taken next year are known how far
the increase in population approx
mates the figure suggested by the in
crease in polls.

JEFFRlEs IN FINE SHAPE
Treatment at Marienbad Has Had
Good Effect Upon Old Fighter.

Paris, Sept. 3O.-James J. Jeffries,
the American heavyweight fighter is
doing his work at Jim Pratts quart
ers at Neuilly, on the Seine, a sub
urb OF Paris, preparatory to his fight
with Jack Johnson, the colored chanl-
pion. Jeffries' training, which began
soon after he returned from Marien-
bad has been interrupted by a cold
contracted while he as attending the
races, and for two days the pugllist
was confined to his room His wife,
however, says that his Illness was
not serious, and il is expected that he
will take up his training again in a
day or two.
Jim Pratt, who has followed the
fighters for years, considers Jefflies
in the pink of condition and ready 10
enter the ring with Johnson.
"Jemries is as quick as lightning"
he said today THE treatment which
he underwent at Marienbad has re
duced his supernuous fat, and mis-
waie' line has fallen away practically
to normal His weight is about 225
pounds. All that Jeffries needs now
is to get his muscles in trim. and |
am sorry that his training. which
was confined largely to punching the
bag and skipping the rope. has been
interrupted"
No definite arrangements have yet
been made for a fight with Johnson,
although Hugh Mcintosh, the Aus
tralian fight promoter has offered
$4,000 for contest between these
two heavyweights in Paris. Jenries
has refused the offers of several mus
ic han managers to give sparrlng ex.
hibi,ions.

Arbitration Undertaken by Swedish
