more began to open his gravel pit
at Midway, one-fourth mile west
of the station. He was handi-
capped financially, having just
finished paying off a receivership,
old judgments, ETC., against him at
the Delin street gravel pit. He
came to Midway with his old Mis-
souri, warwhoop, his interchangeable
and irresistible pertinacity, a thin
pair of pants and a light heart.

Now the pint" of my story is
that all the foregoing enterprise
attracted the attention of the
street car company, and the city
and the city limits were extended
early last year to Midway and a
scent fare granted. Mr.. Ashton
bought eighty acres south and east
of Elmore's pit on the county road

more people get off and ON the
street cars there than at any
other three stations on the Span

The T. r. & p. Co. is all right
in business view. AS soon as the
Fern Hillites succeed in inducing
Gilmore to put in plant there
(where scheme is on FOOT then
the two hundred or three hundred
men employed at both plants will
patronize the street car company
and thus justify the company to
grant a scent fare to Fern Hill,
which is the most businessIike way
to look at it.

Mrs. Redbreast of having hidden

Both robins, feeling very much
ashamed, flew off in the direction

made up their differences.

him. He would stay there until
the hue and cry had died away
then slip out of the country. He
had told his wife that he was
going to run out of town to visit
a friend; he would write her from
Philadelphia.
He reached Philadelphia that
evening. The train to Waynesboro
did not start till the following
morning. No one would guess that
that was his destination. He pen
ned a few lines to his wife, con-
Tossing all, and asking her to wait
for him, perhaps for months.
Then, bitterly, he wrote a scath-
ing note to his employer. 1t was
such men as ne, he said, that drove
honest men to crime. He posted
both letters and retired to bed.
They would not arrive till Monday.
At 8 o'clock, on his way to the
depot, he purchased paper. A
black headline arrested his atten-
/ ton. His bank had caught fire on
the preceding evening, owing to a
defective wire. and had been COM
Ipletely Quilted.
Swift after. the shock came his
remorse. He had not dared turn
from his course the night before;
now he bitterly regretted that
desperate action. His theft would
not be discovered for days, per-
haps weeks. There was still time.
Mechanically he retraced his foot
steps to the New York platform.
An hour later he was hurryingI
frantically homeward. That even
ing he was back in the city again.
He did not dare go to his house
but went to a hotel. His mind was
in a whirl, his purpose undecided.
Something that stirred In the
depths of his consciousness SEEM

What was it? Suddenly light
flashed into his brain. He had
written those letters; he had burn
ed his boats behind him. That to
his wife he. could intercept at their
home; but that to the banker had
been addressed to the mans pri-I
vate residence. He could not hopel
to stop the mail.
But at least he would spare his
wife the shock. Next morning he
crept softly into the hall and took
the letters from the box. But the
one he had written had not arriv-i
ed. Well, 1t mattered little. He
was resolved now to face 1t out.
Perhaps he would merely be dis

His head was reeling and he did
not notice the banker enter until
he touched him on the arm. Then
