CHAPTER Xxx.
Cicely's Fliqht.

Mr. leHson was astounded at the
turn affairs had taken; but though
it had seemed to him that all the
evidence had pointed toward Carle-
tons guilt. he was really relieved to
find another outlet fer his suspicious
He listened attentively to what Fcs.
senden said and Rob was careful
to express no opinion. but merely
{ estate such facts as he knew in
support OF this new theory
Detective Fairbanks was sent for,
and he. too listened eagerly to the
latest Developments.
IL seemed to Rob that Mr. Fair.
banks was rather pleased than 9th.
erwise to turn the trend of suspi.
ciOn I'm another direction. And this
was true, for though the detective
felt a natural reluctance to suspect
woman. he had dreaded all along
lest Carleton should be looked upon
a. a criminal merely because there
was no one else TO be considered
And Mr. Fairbanks quick mind re-
allied that ii there were two SUE
poets there might be three or more,
and Schuyler Carleton would al least
have fair chance.
All things concerned seemed to
have taken on new interest. and
Mr. Fairbanks proposed to begin
Investigations at once.
But ! don't see" he complained
why Mr.. Carleton so foolishly con-
cealed that reliquary business, Why
didn't he explain that at once
"Carleton's is a peculiar nature,
said Rob. "He is ehrinkinsly sensi-
tive about his private affairs. and
being innocent. he had no fear AT
first that even suspicion would rest
upon him, so he saw no reason Ia
/ tell wnat would have been looked
upon as a silly superstition. Had he
/ been brought 10 trial. he would
doubtless have made clean breast
OF the matter. lie Is a strange man

he will be more approachable. and

PHONE SERVICE INSTALLED
ON LOS ANGELES DIVISION

A new era in the dispatching OF
trains in southern California has be-
gun, the telephone service being in ef-
feet on the Santa Fe line between San
Bernardino and Barstow and orders
for the running Of trains win now be
transmitted BY phone.
The san Bernardino "Sun" says
For the present the telephone cir
cult for train dispatc hing will be used
only between the hours of S a. m and
4 D. m. for the reason that it is only
on that track that the district is pro-
vided with a dispatcher whose duties
do not extend to other districts. Dur
ing the remainder of the twenty-four
hours one dispatcher handles both the
first and second districts and as the
second district table is not vet
equipped with the telephone equip
ment, IL will be necessary to cut in
the telephone wires. Within short
time, however, IL is expected that the
second district, which comprises the
line between this city and Los An
geleb via Pasadena viii be equipped
iwthf telephones and then the new sys-
TEN can be operated the entire twen-
ty-four hours over the first as well
as the second district. as the table for
the latter district viii then be pro-
vided with a selectOr.
Dispatcher II. II. Conner VIII De the
first to work with the telephone on
the Los Angeles division, he being on
duty on the first district between the
hours Of s and A.
His table is provided with selec-
tor connecting each OF the twelve Of
fices between this city and Barstow.
Each station is called without ringing
the bell in another.
Tests show that the telephone cir
cult Is working to perfection.
