RATE WAR A.,pEA..s L.1.ELy.
Battle of Slashed Freight Charges ON
Eastern Trunk Lines Almost Inevit-
able.

Washington, April ga rate war
among the Eastern trunk lines is
nearly inevitable In the opinion of
the interstate commerce commission.
Thus far the trouble extends only to
rates on import traffic westward, but
the likelihood is that it will extend
soon to domestic traffic.
The trouble was precipitated some
time ago by the Boston & Maine wip-
ing out differential of 1 cent per
hundred pounds on import traffic,
westbound, which had existed for
years between Boston and ports of
New York, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. 1t was not expected that the
trunk lines generally would meet the
second reduction made by the Boston
& Maine, but day or two ago the
Chesapeake G. Ohio reduced it's rate,
effective May "a, from Norfolk, to
meet the Boston & Names rates.
The Baltimore & Ohio made a like
rate effective from Baltimore on May
25 and from Philadelphia on June /.
The Pennsylvania also filed like rate
from a Baltimore effective on June 25.
but thus far has filed no rate from
Philadelphia. Such a rate probably
will be filed in a day or two.

morning to Judge Brawley that 1t

The case will not come UP again till

And Jasper Farrell went, conscious
that he cut but a sorry figure. He
would have given great deal to have
made a dignitied and Imposing exit,
but he felt like whipped hound.
And Adrian sat on alone at the feet
Of st. Margaret.
Presently he looked up, and the slow
color dyed his face as he gazed. He
had done her wrong, and she seemed
to repr0ach him. She was no longer a
saint, no longer heavenly vision; he
had dragged her down to the dust; he
had exposed her to laughter and de-
rision. The cross-the martyrs crown

Adrian waited In some anxiety for
the result Of his friends negotiations
and breathed sigh Of relief when he
had u little note saying the writer,
who signed herself "Bernice Kerr"
would call on him that afternoon.
And when he saw her he was not dis
appointed.
She was young and fair and full Of
grace. Tall and slender Of limb, she
stood before him, with her snow white
skin, her red brown hair, her deep
violet cyes-eyes that shone like stars
In her pale face. AS Jasper had said,
there was something almost unearthly
about her beauty, 1t was so pure and
spirituelle. The mind could harbor no
evil that gave expression to such a
face.
Adrian stood moment, motionless,
almost holding his breath. Was he
dreaming? Had the St Margaret of
his visions come to life? He had seen
30 few women that she seemed to him
q veritable miracle He did not notice
the shabby setting Of the gem. the too
sharp outlines Of the delicate cheek
and chin, tho deep shadows under the
violet eyes. for they but gave the
touch Of pathos which completed the
picture. He wanted Just that wistful

The first time she sat to him Adrian

tyrdom shining In her face, his heart
beat faster and his hand almost trem-

picture? Was his hand strong enough
to cope with masterpiece of the great
Creator?
Al time went on Adrian discovered
that she had charms Of mind as well
as body; when she began to talk-at
flrst she was very silent and reserved
he found that she had many original
thoughts and graceful fancies.
Perhaps the pleasantest half hour IN
the afternoon was when she came
down from the throne for q rest and

was woman enough TO appreciate Y6e
