CHAPTER XIV.
1.-THE oTHER MAN."

 IN the dispersal after the meal Lid gerwood attached himself to Miss
 Doty, this in sheer self defense A lest Eleanor Brewster should seek to reopen certain spring of bitterness at which he had been constrained to drink deeply and miserably in the past.
 The self defensive, expedient served its purpose admira bly. While the oth- CTS were occupied in various ways, Miss Brewster and Van Lew were ab- sorbed in book of plays, and their corner of the large open compartment was the one farthest removed from the double divan which. Lidgerwood had chosen for Miss Carolyn and himself.
 Later Van Lew rolled cigarette and went to the smoking compartment, which was in the forward end of the car, and when next Lidgerwood broke Miss Doty's eye hold upon him Miss Brewster had also disappeared-in her stateroom, as he supposed. Taking this as a sign of his release, he gently broke the thread of Miss Carolyn's in Quisitiveness and went out to the rear platform for breath of fresh air and surcease from the fashery of a neatly balanced tongue.
 When it was quite too late to re- treat he found the deep recessed ob-

 "It doesn't appeal to you?" she said "And have been calling you But would you do it, Howard?"
 He smiled at her sudden earnest ness.
 "How generous your heart is, Flea nor, when you let it speak for itself! If you will promise not to let it change your opinion of me-you shouldn't change it. you know, for I am the same man whom you held up to scorn the day we parted-if you will prom ise I'll tell you that for weeks I have gone about with my life in my hands, knowing it. It hasn't required any great amount of courage. It merely comes along in the line of my plain duty to the company. It's one of the things draw my salary for"
 "You haven't told me why this des- perado wanted to kill you-why you are in such a deep sea of trouble out here, Howard" she reminded him.
 "No. It is long story, and it would bore you if had time to tell it. And I haven't time, because that is Williams whistle for the Angels yard"
 He had risen and was helping his companion to her feet when Mrs <1 kO

 Lidgerwood's refusal was apologetic but firm.
 q am very sorry. Cousin Jessica,' he protested. "But I left deskful of stuff when I ran away to the wreck this morning, and really I'm afraid shall have to beg off"
 "Oh, don't be so dreadfully formal! said the presidents wife impatiently "You are a member of the family, and all you have to do is to say bluntly that you can't come and then come whenever you can while we are here. You will come to us whenever you can, Howard; that is understood" she said. And so the social matter rested.
 Lidgerwood was half way down the platform of the Crows Nest, heading for his office and the neglected desk, when Williams engine came back ing through one of the yard tracks on its way to the roundhouse. At the moment of its passing. a little man with his cap pulled over his eyes dropped from the gangway step and lounged across to the headquarters building.
 It was Judson, and.s having seen him last toiling away man fashion at the

 "I couldn't explain it without being unpardonably technical. But perhaps 1t can best be summed up in saying that he is a fine mechanical engineer, with the added gift. of knowing how to handle men,"
 "You are generous. MT. Lidgerwood, toto subordinate. He ought to be very loyal to you"
 "He is. And I don't think of him as a subordinate. am glad to be able to call him my friend, Miss Holcombe." l"
 "His college, MT. Lidgerwood-do you chance to know where he was graduat- edg.
 Atanother moment Lidgerwood might have wondered at the young wom- ans persistence, but now Benson's story Of Dawson's terrible misfortune was crowding all purely speculative thoughts out of his mind.
 'tHe took his engineering course in Carnegie. but believe he did not stay through the four years," he said grave ly.
 Miss Holcombe was looking down the table, down and across to where her father was sitting at MT. Brew ster's right. When she spoke again the personal note was gone, and after that the talk, what there was of it, was of the sort that is meant to bridge dis comforting gaps.

The Early Hour Services Being Well
Misunderstanding Continues
Though the Week.

In spite of the mud and rain a good
congregation attended the services ii
Court Street church last night, and
today about sixty persons gathered in
the early morning service, which is
held from 5:45 to Gas each day.
The services are held at this early
hour to accommodate the men who
cannot leave their work at a later
hour, the young women and girls who
work downtown through the day, and
the school children and teachers.
Speaking of the early hour services,
Rev. G. H. Thompson said:
There is peculiar solemnity
which attaches to worship so early in
the day, and these services have prov
en- to be among the most profitable of
the meeting. The first worship of a
risen Christ was at early dawn, and
when certain of the twelve deciples
had become discouraged and had de-
cided to return to their old employ
ment of fishermen, Jesus appeared
early in the morning to call them back
to His love and service"
The meeting will continue through
this week, and perhaps longer.

road, but since it was acquired by the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley mixed
train has been in operation over The

NEW RATE ORDERED
ON ICE SHIPMENTS.

Jackson, Miss, April 5-The Mis-
sissippi railroad commission has or
dered a rate on ice, one that will ap-
ply to all railroads in the state that
are under the direction of the railroad
commission, and it will become effect
i've May 1.
Complaint has been made to the
commission from various parts of the
state against the old rate, which was
without uniformity. and the order of
the commission puts ice in the sixth
class freight instead of the fourth, as
it was supposed to be before, which
is pretty good reduction on the rate
formerly charged by some of the
roads.

gale which swept over the city and

largely in the blowing down of electric
light and telephone wires.
At the time the wind was blowing at
the rate of 60 miles an hour.
