DoIman & Son Secure Contract to Lay
Line for Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe Railroad company has
let the contract to S. Dolman & Son
of Topeka, for the construction of new
track between Lawrence and Gamer
on's bluff to replace the portion of
their tracks damaged by the flood and
ice last winter.
The contract calls for the laying of
three miles of new track on a straight
line between Lawrence and Cameron's
bluffs, on higher ground to the south
of the present line; away from the pos

This will be a nice large piece of
work and Dolman & Son will probably

thing else was In like ratio; everything
else kept the same proportion-or lack
of 1t. For perhaps ten seconds there
was silence absolute, n h the
reaction came. The young man with
the rumpled hair turned sharply away,

Jack Carleton sat as IL stunned. . This
man had lied to him; had given him
his word, and now, with the market
hopelessly lower, retracted It; had
thrown him a rope, and, as he hung
helpless in mid-air, was leaning coolly
forward to cut it, and let him perish.
And he had promised Turner-his word
of honor. He felt physically faint and
sick. Harrington hung up the receiver,
and then, as Jack started to speak,
an interruption occurred. Suddenly the
