AS the conductor left the Mallorys
to their own devices, 1t rushed over
him anew what sacrilege had been at
tempted-a fool bride had asked him
to stop the Trans-American OF all
trains!-to go shopping Of all things!
He stormed into the smoking room
to open the safety valve Of his wrath,
and found the porter just coming out
of the buffet cell with tray, two hol-
low-stemmed glasses and bottle
swaddled in a napkin.
Say, Ellsworth, what I'M do

But the porter was In furry him.

later" And he staggered or, leav-
ing the door of the buffet open. The
conductor paused to close 1t, glanced
in. started, stared, glared, reared:

the incredulous Snoozleums by the
scruif of his neck, growing, ITS you

dashed out with his prey, just as NAL

Marjorie's character, spoke across

She silenced him with a snap:

Mallory, impatient at the shift OF

But to oblige me? To save me
from distress-dont you think you
could?" Like a sweet little child she
twisted one of the brass buttons on
his coat sleeve, and wheedled: Don't
you think you might hold the train
just little tiny half hour?"
He was sorry, but he didn't see how
he could. Then she took his breath
away again, by asking, out OF a clear
sky: "Are you, married?"
He was as awkward as il she had
proposed to him, she answered for
him: "Oh, but Of course you are. The
women wouldn't let a big, handsome,
noble brave giant like you escape
long" He mopped his brow In agony
as she went on: I'm sure you're q
very ,chivalrous man. I'm sure you
would give your life to rescue q
maiden in distress. Well, here's your
chance. Won't you please hold the
train?''
She actually had her cheek almost
against his shoulder, though she had
to poise atiptoe to reach him., NAL
lory's dismay was changing to a boil
ing rage, and the conductor was a
pitiable combination of Saint Anthony
and Tantalus. I'D love to oblige
you," he mumbled, "but 1t would be as
much as my jobs worth"
"How much Is that?" Marjorie
asked. and added reassuringly. Elf
you lost your job I'm sure my father
would get you better one"
Maybe" said the conductor, but
got this one."
Then his rolling eyes caught sight
Of the supposed husband gesticulating
wildly and evidently clearing for &C
ton. He warned Marjorie: Say, your
husband is motioning at you"
Don't mind him." Marjorie urged,
lust listen to me. l implore you.

crying, "Oh, you can't resist my pray

Mallory rushed into the scene and
the conductor, tearing Mariorie's arms
loose, retreated, gasping, mo! and

Mallory dragged Marjorie away. but
she shook her little fist at the con-
ductor, crying: do you refuse? DO
you dare refuse?"

ly insisted.
Marjorie blazed with fury and the
siren became Scylla. Then I'll see
that my father gets you discharged.
If You dare to speak to me again, Ill

this train. To think of being refused

ductor! Of stupid old emigrant

Then she hurled herself into a chair
and pounded her heels on the floor
in a tantrum that paralyzed Mallory.
Even the conductor tapped him on the

epelllah and the Conductor

sDeliIah and the Conductor.
Like the best of women and the
worst of men, Marjorie was perfectly
willing to do evil, that good might
come Of 1t. She advanced on the in
nocent conductor, as the lady from
Sorek must have sidled up to Sam
son, scoquetting~ with one arch hand
and shipping the shears with the
other. y

brazen mimicry. yet how like! She
went forward as the shyest young
thing in the world, pursed her lips in
to an ecstatic shipper, and began on
the unsuspecting official:
Isn't the country perfectly"
"Yes, but I'm getting used to it,
the conductor growled, without look
ing up.
HIS curt indifference jolted Mar
jorie trifie, but she rallied her forces,
and came back with: How long do
we stop at Ogden?"
Five minutes" very bluntly.
Marjorie poured maple syrup on her
tone, as she purred: This train OF
yours Is an awfully fast train, isn't
it?" J&S
sort Of" said the conductor, with
just trace Of thaw. What followed
made him hold his breath. for the
outrageous little hussy was actually
saying: THE company must have a
great deal Of confidence in you to en-
trust the lives and welfare Of SO many
people to your presence Of mind and
courage"
"Well, of course, l can't say as to
that" Even Mallory could see that
the mans reserve was melting fast as
Marjorie went on with relentless
treacle:
Talk about soldiers and firemen
and life-savers! think 1t takes
drawer man than any OF those to be
q conductor-really."
"Well, 1t is kind OF a responsible
job" The conductor swelled his chest
a little at that, and Marjorie felt that
he was already hers. She hammered
the weak spot in his armor:
Responsible! should say It Is.
Mr.. Mallory is a soldier. but soldiers
are such ferocious, destructive peo-
pie, while conductors save lives, and
-if were only man I think 1t
would be my greatest ambition to be
a 'conductor-especially on an over
land express"
The conductor told the truth when
he confessed: well, / never heard
1t put just that way" Then he spoke
with a little more pride, hoping to in
crease the Impression he felt he was
making: The main thing, OF course.
is to get my train through On Time!"
This was facer. He was going to
get his train through On Time Just
to oblige Marjorie. She stammered:
Il don't suppose the train, by any
accident, would be delayed in leaving
Ogden?"

averred, to reassure her.

WHATA TRAVELLER saw in THE DAKOTAHS

the knowledge OF architecture-houses
not square and boxlike and made hid
eous with green paint and jigsaw orna-
ments, but longer lower, more varied,
harmonizing in line with the broad ex-
panse of the prairie, and betokening a
newly acquired sense of proportion.
And inside these houses ne found no
more the gaudy lithograph in its fancy
frame, but simply framed monotone
copies of the masters; no more, the
highly polished. over-carved and plush
upholstered furniture such as flourish
ed in the East in the Victorian era.
but simpler types, better in line and
proportion.
And within these homes there was
cleanliness and comfort-good light
for the reading of books at night
bathrooms, with all their modern ap-
purtenances-hot and cold running
water in kitchen sink and laundry
tubs, and dozen small improvements
for the tightening of the tasks Of over
worked wife and mother.
And round about these homes the
Traveller with great joy saw gardens!
Shrubs and flowers grew and bloomed
and added their subtle but powerful
influence to the betterment of the
home life. Just as our great-great-
grandmothers planted with loving
care their dooryard gardens, of roses,
phlox, hollyhocks, and iris, and many
a steet-scented herb, so these women
of the prairies had learned what flow
ers would grow and bloom for them.
And the Traveller rejoiced and was
exceeding glad, for men and women
take root in the soil where they plant
roses, and one does not willingly
desert a garden one has made. The
people Of North Dakota had learned
to mingle the lyric Of the lilac with
the epic of the wheat, and the Travel
Ter knew that at last the true home
sense had come to these pilgrims from
other lands, and no man might meas
ure the good to follow.
The vision faded, and the Traveller
looked out across the unbroken miles
of green young grain. A sturdy young
farmer in a blue shirt, broad Of
shoulder and ruddy of countenance.
drove by in an automobile-typical Of
the vigor aid faith and honest in
dustry that is building up this great
Dakota country. But his eyes were
blind to the beauty of the prairie rose
at his feet and the redwing blackbird
that flashed across his path; his ears
heard not the ravishing carol of the
bobolink. Will this splendid young
giants eyes ever be opened to the
beauties of life and nature and art?
Will he come at length to care more
for the word home than the word
dollar? Will the second vision of the
Traveller come true? Will North Da-
kota remain forever and ever a Land
of Promise?
God grant it!

to South America have shown phe-
nomenal gain in tae fiscal year which
ends with the present month. Prior
to 1911 the total value Of exports to
South America had never reached 100
million dollars. In 1911, the total was
speaking in round terms, 100 million
dollars, and in the current fiscal year
which ends with the present month,
seems likely to be about 135 million
dollars, having more than doubled
since 1905.
Argentina is the country showing
by far the largest gain in our exports
to South America. The figures now
available in the Bureau of Statistics
OF the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, indicate that the total exports
to Argentina for the complete fiscal
year will amount to about 55 million
dollars, against 231a million in 1905,
having thus considerably more than
doubled in the period in question. To
Brazil the total exports for the fiscal
year will exceed 30 million dollars
in value, against II millions in 1905,
an even larger percentage of gain
than in the case of Argentina. To
Chile the total for. the year will
amount to about Is million dollars,
against 511 million in 1906, also a
gain of nearly 200 per cent. To Uru-
quay the figures Of exports for the
fiscal year which ends with the pres
ent month will aggregate about mil
lion dollars in value, aainst little
less than 2 million in 1905.
This increase in exports to South
America, while occurring in a large

number of articles, is especially
notable in lumber, leather, mineral
oil, and railway materials. For ex'
ample, the exports of lumber to Ar
'gentina in the 10 months ending with
April last, amounted to 5A million
dollars in value, against million in
the corresponding months of last
year; and those 10 other South Amer
ican countries, over 3 million dollars,
against million in the corresponding
period of the preceding year. 1llum-
mating oil exported to Argentina In
the 10 months in question amounted
to about "a million gallons, against
about 13 million in the corresponding
months a year ago; and lubricating
oil, over 4 million gallons, against
less than million in the same
months last year. Glazed kid leather
exported to Argentina in the 10
months of 1912 amounted to over 1
ra:llion dollars in value, against $40
thousand dollars in the corresponding
ilonths Of the preceding year. Auto
mtb les exported &c South America rs
a whole amounted in the 10 months
in question to 111 million dollars in
value, against 6S8 thousand dollars
in the corresponding months Of the
preceding year.
The total value of exports from the
United States to South America as a
whole was, ten years ago, in the
fiscal year 1902, 80 million dollars.
Five years ago, in the fiscal year 1907
it was 50 million dollars, and in the
current year, as inlicated above, will
probably be about 1876 million dollars,
an increase of more than $50 per
cent in tae decade, and of more than
so per cent in the last five years.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 49,
In reply to questions asked by the
Texas Railroad Commission the Inter-
national and Great Northern Railroad
is probably not subject to forfeiture
because the railroad has failed or re-
fuses to pay claims for which it is
liable under the act OF the special ses-
sion of the Legislature imposing cert
ain obligations on railroad properties
which emerge from receivership. The
departments ruling is that the ad-
justment and settlement Of claims is
a matter beween the claiments and
the railroad company.
