The general public shrinks from the
possibility of railroad strike for
many especial reasons at the present
time and entertains a conviction that,
however reckless the strike may be
and however heavy the loss 1t may
involve, the public will be forced to
foot the bill. If wages go up, the very
general conviction is, freight rates
will go up too. This will add to the
cost of living-and the cost of living
is so h IN at present that the public
groans. No wonder the public is anx-
ious that the threatened strike OF
railway employees may be averted

Margaret. who was bored to the
verge of collapse on the off-days,
thought him much nicer than he had
formerly been, and she liked his per-
feet simplicity.

said, but let me hear the tune"
Van Torp rose and went to the
window and she looked quietly at his
square figure and his massive, sandy
head and his strong neck. Presently
he began to whistle, very softly and
perfectly in tune. Many street-boy
could do as well, no doubt, and Mrs.
Rushmore would have called it vul-
gar accomplishment, but the mag
nificent prima donna was too true a
musician, as well as a singer, not to
take pleasure in sweet sound, even
if it were produced by a street-boy.
But as Mr.. Van Torp went on, she
opened her eyes very wide and held
her breath. There was no mistake
about It; he was whistling long pieces
from ''Parsifal," as far as it was pos
sible to convey an idea of such music
by such means. Margaret had studied
it before co~ling to Bayreuth, in or
der to understand it better; she had
now already heard II once, and had
felt the greatest musical emotion of
her life-one that had stirred other
emotions, too, strange ones quite
new to her.
She held her breath and listened,
and her eyes that had been wide open
in establishment, slowly closed again
in pleasure, and presently, when he
reached the Good Friday" music, her
own matchless voice floated out with
her unconscious breath, in such per
feet octaves with his high whtstling
