"GiVe Us Universal Transfers"
To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
The mayor and the president of the
Public Service Railway have been talk
ing about a subway for the city. This
no doubt is a very good plan and one
that ought to be followed out by the
officials. But what are we going to do
until the subway is built? The conges-
tion at the -Four Corners at the pres
ent time is awful, and by the time
the subway is built the city will have
grown and conditions will be almost
intolerable. The mayor says that there
shall be no surface cars in streets under
which there are tubes, and since the
talk of b has just begun, and since
the tubes will only AXE the place Of
the surface cars, what good will they
do?
There are a number of things that
the Public Service could do now to re-
lieve the congestion if they only cared
10. they could, for instance, have a
universal transfer system and run
short-line cars that would start a few
blocks from Market and Broad streets.
Larger cars on all the lines would also
help. We want the subways, but we
want something before they come.

CHAPTER xiV.-Continued.

Behind her the door closed softly;
and there followed thud as a bolt
was shot. An instant later Anisty
caught her by the arm and, roughly
now and without wasting speech, hur,
ried her into the next room. Then
releasing her, he turned up the lights
and, passing to the windows, threw
two or three OF them wide; for the
air in the room was stale and lifeless.
"And now," said the criminal in a
tone of satisfaction, now we can talk
business, my dear"
He removed his overcoat and hat,
throwing them over the back Of a con-
venient chair, drew his fingers
thoughtfully across his chin, and,
standing at little distance, regarded
the girl with a shadow of saturnine
smile softening the hard line of his
lips.
She stood where he had left her, as
II volition was no longer hers. Her
arms hung slack at her sides and she
was swaying a tfifle, her face vacant,
eyes NSly iSoi eiiS
down point
The man was not without percep-
tion; and recognized her state-one
in which, he felt assured, he could get
very little out of her. She must be
strengthened and revived before she
would or could respond to the direct
catechism he had in store for her. In
his own interest, therefore, more than
through any yielding to motives of
pity and compassion, he piloted her to
a chair by window and brought her
a glass of clear cold water from the
filter in the adjoining room.
The cold, fresh breeze blowing in
her face proved wonderfully inyigorat-
ing. She let her head sink back upon
the cushions of the easy, comfortable
leather chair and drank in the clean
air in great deep draughts, with a
sense of renewing vigor both bodily
and spiritual. The water helped, too;
she dabbled the tip of ridiculously
small handkerchief in it and bathed
her throbbing temples. The while,
Anisty stood over her, waiting with
discrimination if with scant patience.
What was to come she neither knew
nor greatly cared; but, with an in
stinctive desire to postpone the newt
able moment Of trial, she simulated
deadly languor for some moments aft
er becoming conscious of her position;
and lay passive, long lashes all but
touching her cheeks-in which now a
faint color was growing-gaze wander

met your match in Anisty"
And" demanded the other as the
burglar snatched up his hat and coat,
what will you do, Anisty?"
"Do?" - contemptuously "Why,
what is there to do but go and get
them? We've risked too much and
made New York too hot for the two

game without the profits"

good guess. Speaking of which, think

The burglar turned again to the
desk and began to work over the in
strument with small screw-driver
which he produced from his coat
pocket, talking the while.
