What Is the difference, II any. be
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter OF spelllng7
The editor OF the Oxford Dictiopar,
some years ago made extended inquiry
as to usage. and found that opinions
in London varied. Replies to his uues-
tons showed that In Great Britain
the form grey is the more frequent
In use. despite the authority OF DR..
Johnson and later photographers, who
give the preference to gray. Many
correspondents said that they used
the two forms with a difference of
meaning, or application, the distinc.
ton most generally recognized being
that grey donates a more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. others con.
sidered the difference to be that gray
is a warmer color, or that II has a
mixture of red or brown. Anoths r
group held that grey has more OF
sentiment. gray more Of color, which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline.

The conclusion was obvious and we

with scared and troubled faces. Our
attempts to make a match for Agatha

certainly going wrong with a VEN

But the worse was not yet Before

the shape of the sudden appearance OF

grown quite cat-like In regard to See

OF keeping our discovery a secret from

enough. Then she turned and silently
led the way to the stairs.
At the door Of our guests room
which we passed before reaching our
own suite, my wife stopped.
Good night, wilfred," she said
Agatha, dear" to the girl, and taking
her hand, you must let me spend the

Strange to say, Terhune gave no

 NEW HAVEN OFFICIALS
Freight Increases Apply Only to Joint Through Rates and Do Not Affect
 Local Business

New Haven, June At the offices of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Company here it is stat ed that the increases of freight rates which the company has just filed ap- ply only to the joint through rates on certain commodities, and do not affect local freight rates in the territory of the company in New England. It also is stated that practically all the in creases are very trifling and affect only a small amount of New England commodities. As to any increase in local freight rates, it has not been de- termined upon, and if adopted at all will apply to some minor forms of freight only not affecting general bus mess.
 The close utilization of the New Ha- ven and Boston & Maine roads. both of which have recently increased pas senger rates. has suggested that gov ernment action might follow after the precedent of the Western lines in the matter of freight rates. At the offices of the New Haven company. however, it is denied that there has been any combination with the Boston & Maine in the raising of passenger rates or any connection with any other Eastern line in the almost simultaneous rais- ing of communication fares to and from New York city.
